this is bbc news. the headlines at 4: holidaymakers and hauliers face a third day of disruption at the channel tunnel. delays around the port of dover have eased, but travellers spent all night stuck in queues at folkestone. at folkestone, about 9am yesterday morning for a train at half past 10 and then we slowly have been crawling along for the past 21—plus hours. the entire board of cricket scotland resigns ahead of a review expected to find scottish cricket to be institutionally racist. russia admits it was responsible for a missile strike on the port of odesa on saturday targeting military installations. ukraine's president denounced the attack as �*barbaric�*. rishi sunak and liz truss vow to toughen controls on migration, in their latest announcements

in the conservative leadership race. with more countries fighting wildfires, the us special envoy for climatejohn kerry tells the bbc that president biden is considering whether to announce a climate emergency. we are moving forward, but we're not making enough progress and we are not moving forward fast enough. good afternoon. the port of dover says work has been continuing "around the clock" to help holidaymakers and lorries get across the channel, after they faced lengthy waits over the past two days. queues at the port are expected to be reduced to about an hour this afternoon. the port's chief executive, doug bannister, has thanked travellers and residents of dover for their understanding during what he described

as a "challenging period". but people using eurotunnel to travel to france have been warned to expect long delays at folkestone. and this is the picture live there now near the entrance to the eurotunnel. as you can see cars and lorries are still queuing up. they are moving, but very slowly. you can see op the on the right of the screen they are crawling along. to the left of the screen, the lorries, we have been looking at that image for the last couple of minutes. they don't seem to have moved very far, if at all while we have been on these pictures. we will get more details now from simon jones. the not—so—great getaway continues. in 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 mobilize 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 significant infrastructure, because clearly it has, i 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. our business correspondent vishala sri—pathma is in folkestone and has the latest on the queues there. so, frustration appears to have shifted here to folkstone. that's partly because of the roads leading to the channel tunnel entrance, which isjust behind me. now, there are queues of cars and lorries, as you can see, and there are about 600 lorries here, some of which have been here for 15 hours plus. that's because the stretch of road they're on on the m20 has been partly closed to accommodate them, effectively becoming a lorry park for them, and other traffic has been diverted to other roads and those roads have been struggling to cope. now eurotunnel say once you get to the terminal, the trains are running fine and they will keep passengers

updated as much as possible, but they can't control the surrounding roads. so, they're saying they're expecting about 7,000 cars today. the advice is to stay hydrated and bring a packed lunch — you may be here a while. joining me now is former police border control officer, chris hobbs. chris, what do you make of the delays? what is behind? it is chris, what do you make of the delays? what is behind? it is hard to sa . a delays? what is behind? it is hard to say- a lot _ delays? what is behind? it is hard to say- a lot of — delays? what is behind? it is hard to say. a lot of reasons _ delays? what is behind? it is hard to say. a lot of reasons have - delays? what is behind? it is hard to say. a lot of reasons have been advanced as to why we see this situation down there. possibly an accident on the m20 apparently. but there is, shall we say, a conspiracy theory that it is the french flexing their muscles by not manning all the ports. they did this injuly 2016, a month after this country voted for brexit and there were problems there for a short while, similar problems. so there is clearly bad blood at the moment between the british and the french governments. the french have

got us over a bit of a barrel, because we need the agreement to have our immigration controls in france and their immigration controls, that is part of the problem, are based near our channel ports. what we need is a better measure of co—operation between the two governments and frankly with the situation as it is, i can't see that happening and heaven forbid if we lose the juxtaposed controls in france, we will be in trouble in terms of controlling our borders. what you're describing is that border control checks are done on our side of the channel for people who are going to france and vice versa, the checks are done by british border force officers versa, the checks are done by british borderforce officers in france. . why would that be a problem if that falls apart? we

haven't got _ problem if that falls apart? - haven't got people from the uk attempting to enter france illegally as asylum seekers or economic migrants. the reverse is the case in france there are hundreds if not thousands looking to come to this country and the fact that we have those controls in place on french soil means that now they're having to resort to the small boats that we see coming across the channel on a regular basis. if our controls and it would be easier for the people smugglers and the people who want to get here to get across because we could see chaotic scenes 0tt our ports. it is a difficult balance. you would lake like to think the two governments would sort it out. it governments would sort it out. if home office said can you sort this out, what would you do, what is within the capacity of the uk

authorities to do to try and speed things up for people who are december desperate to get on holiday. december desperate to get on holida . , ., . .., holiday. there is not much we can do. the infrastructure _ holiday. there is not much we can do. the infrastructure is _ do. the infrastructure is contributing to the problem. but in terms of what the french wish to do, if they wish to make life difficult for us, at their border posts, then this is not much we can do. i did read the french were stamping or passports, as part of the procedure and looking at papers after brexit, thatis and looking at papers after brexit, that is odd, because when they arrive at our airports, the french and other eu nationals can go straight through e gates and no one looks at their passports and no one stamps them, they are scanned and the gates open and they're in. that is unusual and perhaps, well... perhaps things will change if indeed the french are looking closely at our passport stamping. but it is a difficult situation and at the end

of the day it is up to those at the top of the governments to sort it out. f top of the governments to sort it out. j ., , ., ., ., out. they're only doing what anyone with an external— out. they're only doing what anyone with an external border— out. they're only doing what anyone with an external border would - out. they're only doing what anyone with an external border would do, . with an external border would do, thatis with an external border would do, that is the frontier now and they're only doing what required to ensure the integrity of the border. some are not, portugal— the integrity of the border. some are not, portugal is _ the integrity of the border. some are not, portugal is happy - the integrity of the border. some are not, portugal is happy for - are not, portugal is happy for british names nationals to go through e gates, the gates open and you're in. you're not speaking or being examined by borderforce officers. it is the same here, if you arrive at heathrow, you probably won't be seen if you're an eu national or an american, you slap your passport and if there are no traces, the gates open and you're in. a lot of border force officer are not happy with that, they say it gives the opportunity for people to come in who we don't want. but it gets the queues through quicker.

things are different in terms of wh happens here and what happens abroad when our tourists arrive, depending on where you arrive at. chris hobbs, thank yom — cricket scotland's entire board has resigned with immediate effect, 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, told us more. we have seen that letter of resignation. now, 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. now, the board has 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 their letter of resignations and they said that that included time scales and actions to be carried out 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. russia has admitted it carried out yesterday's missile attack on ukraine's port of 0desa, just a day after signing a deal to unblock shipments of grain through the black sea. moscow said it hit a military ship. ukraine has declined to say whether it was a military or civilian vessel. russia has defended the attack, claiming to have hit a weapons stockpile and military targets. translation: a docked ukrainian | warship and a warehouse with us| supplied harpoon antiship missiles

were destroyed by long range precision—guided naval missiles in 0desa sea port on the territory of a ship repair plant. 0ur correspondent in kyiv — paul adams — told us it's uncertain where the attack leaves friday's grain deal. until this morning we hadn't really heard from the russians at all about what had happened yesterday. now, we have had this confirmation that indeed they reckon they hit two military targets, one a military patrol boat and the other a depot of us—supplied harpoon anti—ship missiles. as you say, the ukrainians have not confirmed that, but this does raise an interesting question, which what is do the terms of the deal signed in istanbul on friday actually mean? i think russia would argue, although it has not yet openly said, that it does not preclude them from conducting operations against purely military targets. the text of that agreement, the key phrase is, "the parties will not undertake any attacks

against merchant vessels and other civilian vessels and port facilities engaged in this initiative". in other words engaged in the process of getting the grain out of 0desa. so the russians would argue, perhaps rather cynically, that they can continue to conduct military operations. of course, it does raise a huge question about safety. this was already going to be a complex and potentially hazardous operation, with shipping needing to be guided through potentially waters in which there are mines floating, but now we have this additional element of risk, which is that there could be an explosion in the port while ships in there trying to load up with grain. so, i think from the point of view of the shipping companies that is yet another reason for them to be extremely cautious and it is hard not to see that causing some kind of delay, even though the ukrainians say they're ready to go ahead pretty soon. it notjust this deal that is jeopardised by this strike, because this was seen as significant moment, an agreement

on something substantial between the two sides, despite the ongoing conflict. if there is feeling that even this couldn't last a day, do you get the sense it may make it difficult to reach agreement on anything else in future, because of mistrust? well, certainly mistrust is rife. i think it was really only president erdogan of turkey who on friday was suggesting that this agreement could in some way set the scene for a wider agreement which might begin to tackle the differences between russsia and ukraine. no one else frankly shared that optimism and i think people are perhaps not that surprised that russia has chosen to act in this way. perhaps this is russia's way of saying, yes, this deal can go ahead, but it's going to go ahead on our terms, we will decide when and how this all happens and just to kind of throw a rather gratuitous spanner in the works just when everyone was thinking this might go ahead successfully.

perhaps they don't want ukraine to feel that they have achieved too much. russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, has embarked on a diplomatic offensive in africa, as his country faces international anger over saturday's attack on the ukrainian port of 0desa. his first stop is cairo, where he gave a press conference with his egyptian counterpart. egypt — which imports large amounts of grain from russia — is trying to balance alliances with both russia and the us. mr lavrov will travel on to ethiopia, uganda and congo—brazzaville. overall more than 40% of africa's wheat comes from russia and ukraine. some breaking news, the fire service in surrey has declared a major incident at hankly common, due to a large fire. they say they have several fire engines in attendance.

there is a great deal of smoke and they're advising people to avoid the area and people to keep their doors and windows shut. a major incident at hankly common, due to a large fire there. the headlines on bbc news: a third day of disruption at the channel tunnel — with some stuck in queues overnight. although delays around the port of dover appear to have eased. the entire board of cricket scotland resigns ahead of a review expected to find scottish cricket to be institutionally racist. russia admits responsibility for a missile strike on the port of 0desa on saturday — which ukraine's president denounced as �*barbaric�*. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's 0lly foster. good afternoon. max verstappen has stretched his

lead in the formula one standings to 63 points, after taking the chequered flag at the french grand prix. he was given an easier race than he might have expected, after his nearest rival charles leclerc, who had started on pole, lost control of his ferrari whilst leading the race. it's the third time this season he's failed to finish whilst in the lead. there was a good result for mercedes. george russell of britain overtook red bull's sergio perez with just a few laps to go, to make it onto the podium, and lewis hamilton finishing second in his 300th grand prix, but it was a perfect result for the world champion verstappen, with a huge lead in the championship. formula one now heads to hungary next weekend before its summer break. england's one—day decider against south africa has been abandoned, meaning the series finishes 1—1. the tourists won the toss and batted first. they lost their opener janneman malan to david willey

forjust 11 in the sixth over, but they recovered well after that, with quinton de kock reaching a quickfire half century. he was on 92. england managed another much needed breakthrough. rassie van der dussen falling to leg—spinner adil rashid. jonny bairstow with the catch. rain stopped play for a second time in leeds, though, and the rain worsened. south africa 159—2 in the 28th over. dutch rider lorena wiebes has won the first stage of the women's tour de france. wiebes timed her sprint to perfection to beat another dutch woman — double olympic champion marianne vos — into second. belgian lotte kopecky finished third on the champs elysees. it's been 33 years since the last women's grand our in france there are seven more stages to go. brooke henderson has won the fourth women's golf major of the year,

the evian championship. it all went down to the final green. the canadian had blown a two shot overnight lead, and needed to birdie this to avoid a play—off against the american sophia schubert. that secured her second major, six years after she won the pga championship. england's charley hull was two shots behind henderson in a five—way tie for third. the final major of the year is the women's british open at muirfield in a fortnight. double olympic champion alistair brownlee is expected to make a comeback after a back injury for the very first pto triathlon event in canada. the newly launched series is part—owned by the athletes is looking to reboot the sport with bigger prize funds. it is about making it engaging for fans to watch and i think that is partly about the distance, but i think it's as much about the course and as much as how it is broadcast,

so can we tell the stories of athletes in the right way? so fans know more about the people racing? can we deliver data and insights to make people understand and make it interesting for people watching at home. watching an endurance event needs those things. we see the success of sports like the tour de france and there is hope and that is one of reasons why the pto is fantastic. i'm looking forward to see what they do. fallon sherrock is through to the final of the first women's world matchplay event in blackpool. she beat lorraine winstanley 5—2 at the winter gardens. she'll face aileen de graaf who pulled off a shock victory

to knock top seed lisa ashton out. that should be quite a night at the winter gardens. more from me in the next hour. the us special envoy for climate says the world is not moving fast enough to tackle the global climate crisis. speaking to the bbc�*s jim naughtie, senatorjohn kerry said president biden is considering whether to announce a climate emergency, to give him additional powers to push his renewable energy agenda. we are moving forward, but not fast enough. we are behind where we need to be to avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis and everybody in europe and the around the world are feeling the

early parts of those consequences. hope any we can turn this around and accuse accuse accelerate. that re . uires accuse accuse accelerate. that requires courage _ accuse accuse accelerate. that requires courage in _ accuse accuse accelerate. that requires courage in governments, because it sometimes means getting a tough message, saying the benefits won't be felt for some time. historically, responsible nations have moved to reduce musing. —— pollution. that is a benefit, the jobs are benefits now. the faster growing job was wind turbine technician. third fastest growing job in solar panels. most countries could balance their grid, provide clean energy and less expensive energy with less damaging negative consequences at the same time. im’ith consequences at the same time. with china and india, _

consequences at the same time. with china and india, now, you spend time talking to those nations and you know they get the effects of climate change and in within it whats to do with water. yet, you know their policies are against what needs to be done. how fast do you think they're likely to increase their pace, because if they don't, we are all going to fall behind. it is pace, because if they don't, we are all going to fall behind.— all going to fall behind. it is not 'ust china all going to fall behind. it is not just china and _ all going to fall behind. it is not just china and india. _ all going to fall behind. it is not just china and india. it - all going to fall behind. it is not just china and india. it is - all going to fall behind. it is not i just china and india. it is everyone of the top 20 countries that equal 80% of the emissions. they all have to do more. china has a new plan they have put in place. we think they have put in place. we think they could do more. we would like to see them transition off coal faster if possible. we think their is to make that happen. india has set a goal of deploying 500 gigawatts, thatis goal of deploying 500 gigawatts, that is a lot of energy, in the next eight years to try to meet their

obligation and they're deploying rapidly and working hard on is. that was john kerry speaking to the bbc�*sjim naughtie on radio 4's the world this weekend. a leading judge has criticised the number of divorce cases heard in court and said their confrontational nature was harming outcomes for both adults and children. in a rare interview for a sitting judge, sir andrew mcfarlane — who is head of the family courts in england and wales — estimated that around a fifth of marriages wrongfully ended in court and that it is often seen as the first port of call — when it should be a last resort. earlier i spoke to family mediator, debbie wahle, who explained how children are affected and why divorce rates are so high. far too many cases involving children end up before the courts. and you know the position is very clear for children — children have a right to see so long as it is safe. if there are no safeguarding concerns, really, who better to make decisions for children than the parents themselves? and what role does mediation play?

do you find people come to you as a first port of call, or is it something they think let'sjust get to court and get this dealt with sooner rather than later? i mean, mediation is another way of resolving dispute. people can sort things out themselves, which is rarely successful, they can go to solicitors, which of course can be very helpful, i was a solicitor for many decades, but it is also it can be expensive, it can raise the conflict. so the hope is that before going to court and it is the court who impose a decision upon families, that people will try and make decisions themselves. empower themselves if you like. to make their own decisions about children. so we often see families at the very, very early stages, sometimes they haven't even left the relationship,

and of course it's very helpful for them to come in and have a confidential meeting one—on—one first of all. but, yes, more and more people are understanding that mediation can help. i mean notjust in family cases across the board. and there is funding, there had been government funding through the pandemic, which has been hugely helpfulforfamilies. because there are costs. i, as with a number of mediators, also can grant legal aid and many, many people are eligible for legal aid, particularly post pandemic when many people have had to go on universal credit to supplement their income. so, yes, in answer, a very long—winded answer, yes, we are seeing many people, but we should be seeing more. we are noticing that the courts are actually bouncing back cases to us. i had two cases last week where they got a telling off, the court actually said why are you here, why haven't to resolve this yourselves? i mean, are you finding your workload has gone up in recent years at all and if so how much

of that do you attribute to the extraordinary circumstances that we have all lived through with the pandemic? yes, i think, look, it is very expensive to go through the court process, there is very little legal aid since around 2014, most legal aid has gone in the family courts unless there are exceptional circumstances, where there has been domestic or certain types of behaviour. certainly during the pandemic, we saw a huge rise, because of course families were thrown together. it was a bit like a very extended christmas period, you know at the end of being with your families for a huge amount of time, conflict arises. so we did see a huge surge during the pandemic and after. of course there has been a change in the divorce law in april of this year. a very welcome change, taking away a blame element. relationships break down. the difficulty is it is expensive for many people to access legal advice, so sometimes they will come to us.

sometimes prematurely, but actually it can help. we can't give legal advice as mediators, but we can give legal information. that initial session is really very much about signposting, so an hour spent with somebody like like me, we can two through a huge amount. we can go through a huge amount. particularly when people are raw and still making decisions. but, yes, court is always a last resort and particularly where you're dealing with children. the british model tamara ecclestone has offered a reward of up to £6 million for the return of her £25 million stolen jewellery. three italian men have been jailed for their part in the biggest domestic burglary in english legal history. in december 2019 ms ecclestone's west london mansion was one of three celebrity homes targeted and raided by the international thieves. posting on instagram ms ecclestone wrote: "if you are the source, you get the reward. it is that simple."

now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello. it's been very warm, if not hot really today across east anglia and south east england. but it's not been like that for the rest of the uk, where we've had thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain. now this rain going across northern ireland turned out to be very heavy. that's now pushing on into scotland — could bring some localised surface water flooding as it continues to push its way northwards. kind of hangs around across northern scotland and then starts coming back southwards later in the night. there'll be a few patches of rain elsewhere, but also some drier weather. a fresher night for scotland and northern ireland, but still warm for england and wales, with your overnight lows for most between 16 and 18 degrees celsius. now tomorrow, we start off with this weather front bringing rain to northern scotland. that moves southwards across scotland through the morning and into the afternoon. we'll start to see the rain arriving then, across northeastern areas of england. there'll be a few showers elsewhere, some bright or sunny spells and temperatures down on those of today. high teens for the northern half of the uk.

the warmest spot again, east anglia at 25 this time.
