good afternoon. people attempting to cross the channel are facing a third day of delays, despite the large queues at the port of dover starting to ease. officials say traffic is now "flowing normally", with about 6,000 private vehicles are expected at the port today. but it's a different picture for those using the eurotunnel to travel to france, with people still being warned

to expect long delays at folkestone and many having to overnight in their vehicles. simonjones reports. the not—so—great getaway continues. the port of dover is expecting another six and a half thousand cars folkestone, holiday—makers have been struggling to get to the eurotunnel terminal, some forced to spend the night in their cars. we arrived at folkestone at about 9am yesterday morning for a train at 10:30, and then we've slowly been crawling along for the past 21—plus hours. the immediate challenge has been to begin getting the 1,500 hgvs parked on the motorway on their way. we have lorries currently stacking on the m20 as part of operation brock. some of them have been there for several, several hours and we need to now help them get through and across the channel. so we need to make sure that some priority is given to help get some freight across. but, ultimately, we now need to see some movement. the blame game continues. the british government said the french authorities had failed to mobilise enough border

staff to check passports and demanded action to resolve what it's calling a terrible situation. the french transport minister hit back, insisting france is not responsible for brexit and the extra checks that brings. but there are now growing calls from politicians in kent for new infrastructure, such as lorry parks, to get freight off the road when there's cross—channel disruption. what we've been pushing - for for quite a long time is to say these should be treated as projects | of national significance, nationallyl as we've been talking about, - a horrible effect on people in kent and a damaging effect. it is also significant from - the point of view of the country as a whole. this is the artery through - which so much of our trade goes. the department for transport says it's investing more than £30 million to improve lorry parking facilities in england. but for now, the warning is that the coming months are set to be challenging. it will still be very, very busy throughout the whole summer. we've got another busy weekend next weekend, huge numbers of tourists crossing.

we're back to pre—pandemic levels of tourists that are crossing the channel. in fact, in some places it's been even busier than it was three or four years ago. so we are prepared for that. we have traffic management plans in place in kent to really deal with that. food and drink has been handed out to some of those stuck in the queues, clinging to the hope of finally getting away on holiday. simonjones, bbc news, dover. vishala sri—pathma is at folkestone for us. what's the latest? frustration appears to have shifted to folkestone and that is partly because of the roads leading to the channel tunnel entrance, which is just behind me. there are queues of cars and lorries, as you can see, about 600 lorries here, some of which have been here for 15 hours plus. that is because the stretch of road they are on on the m20 has been partially closed to accommodate them

becoming a lorry park. 0ther partially closed to accommodate them becoming a lorry park. other traffic has been diverted to other roads and those roads have been struggling to cope. eurotunnel say that once you get to the terminal, trains are running fine and they will keep passengers updated as much as possible. they can't control the surrounding roads. they are saying they they are expecting around 7000 cards today —— cars today. they say stay hydrated and bring a packed lunch, you may be here a while. thank you for that update. cricket scotland's board has resigned a day ahead of the publication of a review of racism in the sport. it is expected to report findings of institutional racism in the scottish game. 0ur scotland correspondent, alexandra mackenzie, joins us from glasgow. so, what's behind these resignations? well, the board of directors resigned this morning with immediate effect. we have seen that letter of resignation. they said they had taken initial steps to deliver a

resolution to the issues of racism. but they also said that this was a huge challenge for an organisation like cricket scotland. the board had said that they hadn't seen the full report, but they were committed to implementing the findings of that report, which is due out tomorrow. but they said they had become aware of certain proposals, which they wrote about in the letter of resignation is. and they said that that included timescales —— resignations. and actions to be carried that would make things unachievable for them to do. so they said it was time for them to step aside. but the board also said it was truly sorry to anyone who had experienced racism of any kind in cricket in scotland.— cricket in scotland. thanks, alexandra. _ the two candidates left

in the race to become the next conservative party leader — and prime minister — have both vowed to toughen controls on migration. rishi sunak has proposed plans including a cap on refugee numbers and withholding aid from countries which won't accept the return of asylum seekers whose claims have failed. liz truss has said she would increase the number of front line border force staff by 20%. parents could be able take up to 12 weeks of extra paid leave if their child is born prematurely as part of a proposed new law. both parents would qualify for one week's extra help in addition to existing maternity and paternity leave and pay entitlements for every seven days their baby is in neonatal care. a state of emergency has been declared in part of california as a wildfire continues to spread rapidly near yosemite national park. the oak fire began on friday, and firefighters have been struggling ever since to control the blaze. more than 6,000 people have been evacuated from their homes.

russia has admitted its forces hit a ukrainian military boat in the southern port of 0desa. there's been international condmenation of the attack, which came just a day after russia signed an agreement promising not to target the port in order to allow grain exports to resume. paul adams is in kyiv for us this lunchtime. where does this leave the deal, so crucial to getting vital food supplies out to the world? to those who desperately need it. it certainly is and it is hard to know where it leaves the deal. until this morning, moscow had said nothing about the missile strikes on 0desa yesterday but now they have admitted that they did carry out the strikes. and they have said they were against military targets, something interestingly the ukrainians have neither confirmed nor denied. now, that doesn't matter because moscow could argue that there is nothing in the deal that was reached in

istanbul on friday that precludes military operations. the text of that deal and i will quote it to you says, "the parties will not undertake any attacks against merchant vessels and other civilian vessels in port facility engaged in this initiative", in other words, nothing about military operations. but if it is not a violation of the letter of the deal, it is certainly a violation and a rather cynical one, frankly, of the spirit of the deal. and it raises a whole new element of risk. into what was already a complicated and potentially hazardous operation. ukrainians say they are pressing ahead with the technical arrangements for this grain export to begin but it is really hard to see how this incident yesterday won't lead, at the very least, to some kind of delay.— won't lead, at the very least, to some kind of delay. pauladams in k iv, some kind of delay. pauladams in kyiv. thank— some kind of delay. pauladams in kyiv. thank yom — at the world athletics championships, the men's 4x100 relay team took a bronze medal. it's britain and northern ireland's fifth medal of the championships.

but there was frustration in the women's sprint relay as dina asher—smith pulled up injured and the team could only come in sixth. andy swiss reports from eugene. a day of relay drama for britain, but ultimately delight, a medalfor the men in a truly frantic final. the us were the favourites but a wobbly last baton change let canada through and behind them could reese prescott fend offjamaica and hang on to bronze? canada, have it, united states, great britain third. so as canada celebrated, so did the british team: zharnel hughes, prescott, nethaneel mitchell—bla ke, and jonah efoloko. well, what a dramatic race that was. and against the very toughest opposition, the british men's quartet have brought home a medal. i mean, we stepped up when we had to and credit to everybody for raising their game. we came with a medal. it's a stepping stone. we'll get better and got to raise our game going forward. but at this moment, we're going to enjoy it together, appreciate the fact that we got a medal. earlier, though, the women's hopes ended in heartache. they were right in it, as dina asher—smith ran the third leg, but then agony.

dina has pulled up. dina is injured. that effectively ended their chances, as they finished sixth. and afterwards, asher—smith said even she didn't know what had happened. ijust feel a bit confused, - because i felt fine coming in, went round the bend and my legsjust stopped corresponding with me. - the race was won by the us, who edged out the favourites jamaica. but for britain, well, this time itjust wasn't to be. andy swiss, bbc news, eugene. the next news on bbc one is at 5:35pm, bye for now. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel. let's return now to the conservative leadership race.

the former chancellor, rishi sunak, has proposed a ten—point plan — including a cap on refugee numbers, and witholding aid from countries which won't accept the return of asylum seekers whose claims have failed. the foreign secretary, liz truss, has told a newspaper she would increase the number of frontline border force staff by a fifth. 0ur political correspondent tony bonsignore told us more about the latest plans set out by both candidates. some examples of what rishi sunak is proposing, he says he wants a narrower definition of who qualifies for asylum that we currently have under the european convention of human rights. enhanced powers, he says, to detain and tag. the end in the use of hotels to house migrants, withholding aid some examples of what rishi sunak is proposing, he says he wants the end in the use of hotels to house migrants, withholding aid from countries who don't cooperate in terms of taking back people

who have failed in their asylum bid in this country, and then, i think the proposal that'll probably be the most controversial is an annual cap on number of refugees. that cap being set by parliament. i've just been watching, he has put out a campaign video on social media, talking about his plans and why he thinks it is important. it is interesting, his argument is that the current system is broken, he says. a bit of a dig there, not so subtly, at a liz truss, who is a foreign secretary. he says in this video that it's not racist to be concerned to secure the country's orders, so that his argument and he says it's an emergency that needs to be tackled straightaway. liz truss, not a ten point plan but she wants more of what we have got already, from the looks of it. yes, she wants to extend the rwanda plan to other countries. there was an interview today in the mail on sunday newspaper, there are other parts, you mentioned they are increasing the number of border staff by 20%, strengthening the bill of rights as well, so that we have got a sound legal basis to tackle illegal migration.

in a sense, they are both going in the same direction, in terms of that they are both promising to clamp down on illegal migration and press ahead with the rwanda plan but really important differences in the way they are going about it and i think rishi sunakfeels there is a vulnerability here for liz truss, which i think is why he is going on this issue so hard today. well, earlier i spoke to the chair of the maidstone conservative association, sally—ann marks, who said she hadn't yet made up her mind about which candidate she'll end up voting for. i'm looking forward to the hustings, which is going to be in about ten days or so. i will be going down to eastbourne and looking forward to listening to both candidates in the same room, really seeing how they perform, i think, same room, really seeing how they perform, ithink, and same room, really seeing how they perform, i think, and also i really want to see the breadth of their policies. want to see the breadth of their olicies. ~ . .

certainly at the moment. the numbers that are coming over daily. i think it needs a refresher and a look at again, but i do think it is an almost impossible situation to crack. �* ., , almost impossible situation to crack. ., , ., ., crack. another impossible situation ri . ht crack. another impossible situation riaht now crack. another impossible situation right now is — crack. another impossible situation right now is the _ crack. another impossible situation right now is the rising _ crack. another impossible situation right now is the rising cost - crack. another impossible situation right now is the rising cost of- right now is the rising cost of living, people really feeling it across the uk. two very different views on how we tackle that — which one do you agree with so far? i’m one do you agree with so far? i'm sor to one do you agree with so far? i'm sorry to sound — one do you agree with so far? i“n sorry to sound in the middle, but i can see the merits of both, because like any housekeeper, like anyone who has run a business, you have to balance the books, so i absolutely get rishi sunak�*s standpoint. intrinsically, they are both conservative, they both have low tax at their heart, small government, low tax and so on, but i think at the moment, i'm beginning to think we've got to do something almost in the middle. i really want, i'm excited to see who becomes the new

prime minister, and equally excited as to who is going to be in the cabinet, because in the end that will also shape the way things go. i'm not leaning one way or the other. ., , ., , ., ., other. 0k, we hear you, you are sittin: other. 0k, we hear you, you are sitting on _ other. 0k, we hear you, you are sitting on the — other. 0k, we hear you, you are sitting on the fence _ other. 0k, we hear you, you are sitting on the fence at _ other. 0k, we hear you, you are sitting on the fence at the - other. 0k, we hear you, you are . sitting on the fence at the moment. traditionally, conservative party members voting for a nude leader, as has happened quite a few times in recent years, —— for a new leader, vote conservatively. do you think the members are like you? i hope the members are like you? i hope the are, the members are like you? i hope they are, because _ the members are like you? i hope they are, because the _ the members are like you? i hope they are, because the whole - the members are like you? i hope they are, because the whole point the members are like you? i hope i they are, because the whole point is to listen to both candidates. i know one of the candidates has been doing the rounds in kent. certainly yesterday spent a lot of time. i wasn't able to go because i am away. and i'm sorry i didn't go because i really wanted to hear up close and personal what that candidate was saying, and i'm quite sure the other candidate will do the same. i think they are travelling the country on a

huge roadshow. what an exhausting time for them, but i genuinely want to listen. and i hope that people won't send off their voting slip until they have at least properly researched, listened to the candidates and hopefully gone to one of the hustings being planned over the next few days. the of the hustings being planned over the next few days.— of the hustings being planned over the next few days. the big problem for the conservative _ the next few days. the big problem for the conservative party - the next few days. the big problem for the conservative party as - the next few days. the big problem for the conservative party as a - for the conservative party as a whole is that there could be a general election almost certainly in the next two years, and the wider public have seen a leader being changed pretty much every three years. do you wish perhaps, and do some of your fellow members wish, that they had just stuck with boris johnson? i that they had 'ust stuck with boris johnson? , , , . johnson? i suspect some will. some won't. johnson? i suspect some will. some won't- some — johnson? i suspect some will. some won't. some are _ johnson? i suspect some will. some won't. some are sitting _ johnson? i suspect some will. some won't. some are sitting on - johnson? i suspect some will. some won't. some are sitting on the - johnson? i suspect some will. some j won't. some are sitting on the fence again, but i really do feel that that ship has sailed and we have to look forward now with the two candidates we have got. we did have an inspirational leader in boris, and i voted for him, but i think,

sadly, there were too many things that happened that proved now was not the right time for him, and i hope that all politicians will reflect on what what they promise and what they deliver, to be honest, to be open, but to be realistic in what they can achieve. and honestly, the public want to have an inspirational leader, of course, but we do want to have somebody whom we can count on in real times of difficulty, so i hope everyone reflects, every politician, and i've been a minor politician in the past. i was a county councillor for many years, and it always was absolutely the core of i believe. you are under promise and over deliver. and you will always speak the truth. that is an important thing for all

the uk's health security chief says programmes are in place to prevent and treat monkeypox, after the outbreak was declared a global health emergency by the world health organisation. the classification is the highest alert that the who can issue, and follows a worldwide rise in cases. aisling mcveigh reports. 16,000 cases of monkeypox worldwide prompted the world health organisation to declare the global outbreak a "public health emergency of international concern," the strongest call to action the agency can make. and while the development could be seen as concerning, health officials in the uk have stressed the situation is not something people should ideally worry about. for the uk, the risk to individuals, currently, is no different today than it was yesterday, following the who announcement. but of course that doesn't mean that we are not being very proactive in our interventions, to try to prevent any unnecessary transmissions of the virus, and we've got a number of different programmes in place. monkeypox is a viral disease from africa. the symptoms are a rash that develops into scabs.

it requires close contact to spread, mainly skin to skin, and can also be spread through coughs and sneezes. currently there are 2,208 confirmed cases in the uk. while anyone can get monkeypox, the majority of cases continue to be in gay and bisexual men. this week the nhs announced it was stepping up its vaccination programme. the world health organization hopes labelling the outbreak a public health emergency will speed up the development of vaccines and limit the spread of the virus. aisling mcveigh, bbc news. a state of emergency has been declared in part of california as the largest active wildfire in the united states continues to spread rapidly near yosemite national park. firefighters have been unable to control the so—called 0ak fire, which started on friday. people across the united states are preparing for record temperatures to rise further, as wildfires continue to sweep europe too. with the latest, here's mark lobel.

it's an explosive combination with combustible results. california's fuel—choked, highly flammable forests combined with drier conditions linked to climate change has now caused this oak fire, the biggest wildfire this season, in part resembling a cauldron or volcano. as the wildfire rages since first igniting over two weeks ago some of the world's oldest giant sequoia trees remain under threat. researchers say human—caused global warming has played a role in the continuation of this current drought on nevada's lake mead, the us's largest reservoir, a crucial water source for millions here. there is excessively hot weather in the cotton producing xinjiang region of china, long lasting and widespread heatwaves risk causing flashfloods and mudslides with some meteorologists blaming climate change as they warn

of its consequences here. translation: when travelling into the mountains watch out i for snow and ice melting floods, also the high temperatures lasting for a long time which will have an impact on crops. in italy, the battle to contain wildfires continues as the country experiences its worst drought in 70 years. meanwhile, with another heatwave expected to last over a week, tourists and residents were told to leave a popular resort on the greek island of lesbos. hundreds were evacuated from hotels and houses as firefighting planes fought the blazes that stormed the beaches as well. wildfires reignite in the north—west of france as amongst the thousands of hectares damaged from similar fires in south—west france, a firefighter is able to fry an egg

like this whilst the wider flames are brought under control after days of disruption. hundreds now able to return home, anxious to see what they left behind. translation: at last, _ it is good to have the garden back especially to the house which is in good condition. despite relief in this instance, these disruptions are likely to become more common as human—induced climate change makes extreme temperatures and drought, causing scenes like these. mark lobel, bbc news. one of the world's most famous models, kate moss, has revealed how a photoshoot as a teenager opened her eyes to the dangers of the fashion industry.

kate moss told the bbc�*s dessert island discs that she was asked to take her bra off at a shoot when she was 15 years old. the model said the experience had "sharpened her instinct" and that as a result she could "tell a wrong �*un a mile away". this is what the model told the bbc�*s lauren laverne. i had a horrible experience for a bra catalogue. i was only 15, probably. and he said, take your top off. i took my top off, and i was really shy then about my body. and he said, take your bra off. and i could feel there was something wrong, so i got myself and i ran | away. how did that affect you, that| experience? i think it sharpened my instincts. i can kind of tell a wrong'un a mile away. it's a fascinating interview. you rarely hear from kate moss, do you? now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. a real mix of weather prospects

across the uk for sunday. heavy downpours in places, especially across the north and west. further south and east, some sunshine and heat with temperatures getting into the low 30s but it was a really wet night last night across northern ireland, more than 30 millimetres of rain falling in an hour in parts of co tyrone. the heavy rain drifted north eastwards across scotland and we saw rain developing through the morning across lincolnshire and the midlands and wales. this band of rain may drift further north through the afternoon towards parts of merseyside, greater manchester and south yorkshire, for example. sunshine and heavy thundery showers for scotland and northern ireland, the wind easing in the far north—west, the showers becoming slow—moving but towards the south—east, we see lengthy spells of sunshine, temperatures are likely to climb to 30 or 31 degrees. heading through sunday night, we see further showers and thunderstorms drifting through northern ireland, across scotland. staying quite wet in the far north—west of scotland, the wind will pick up, gales developing across shetland. there will be showers elsewhere,

there will be mist and muark and it will be a warm and muggy night, lows of 1a and 18 degrees. low pressure with us as we start the working week, sitting to the north—east of the uk, brisk winds around the western flank and particularly in northern scotland where we maintain the risk of gales. a band of showery rain sinking south across scotland and into northern england, could be accompanied by thunder and lightening. some showers elsewhere, large amounts of cloud but there will be some sunny spells. remaining quite windy, the average wind speeds but the gusts stronger than that especially in the far north but with the winds coming from the north or north—west, it will be a cooler day especially in northern scotland, 1a or 15 degrees, 25 across parts of eastern england. deeper into the week, low pressure swings north eastwards, high pressure building from the south—west meaning a lot of dry weather. there are places in the south—east that could do with some rain.
