good evening. people attempting to cross the channel have faced a third day of delays, although the large queues at the port of dover are easing. officials say traffic is now "flowing normally", with about 6000 private vehicles passing through the port today. but for much of the day, it was a different picture for those using the eurotunnel to travel to france, with such long delays at folkestone the aa called it the "hotspot of holiday hell." the aa says things are now starting to ease at folkstone. vishala sri—pathma reports. the not—so—quick holiday getaway continues, although progress has been made in dover where reports suggest traffic is flowing better than it has been over the last couple of days. frustration, however, continues in folkestone today, where cars and lorries have been trying to get to the eurotunnel entrance — some families even spending the night in the car. we arrived at folkestone

at about 9am yesterday morning fora train at10:30am. and then we've slowly been crawling along for the past 21—plus hours. the challenge today has been to clear the backlog of freight. around 600 lorries passing through folkestone today. some have been here for 15 hours plus and that's because the stretch of road on the m20 has been partially closed to accommodate them, effectively becoming a lorry park. and they're competing with families for spaces who want to get away on holiday. despite the challenges of today, there has been some improvement. compared to friday and saturday, we had a very busy start at the folkestone eurotunnel terminal and we had a track warning out for that this morning. however, we have seen it get very busy up until lunchtime and now late afternoon, those delays have fallen considerably and we're hopeful that by 10pm tonight, we should be back to usual levels heading into the eurotunnel terminal. —— traffic warning.

the department for transport says it is investing more than £30 million to improve parking facilities in england, but the eurotunnel says more needs to be done to improve the situation. the consequences of adding border controls, whether it's for _ freight or passengers, - is additionaljourney time, disruption to flow. and that means that you get people's journeys, whether it's carrying - goods in a truck or travelling - across the channel for a holiday, there is disruption. for now, the warning is the coming months are said to be challenging. the consequences of the brexit and for the controls, when you have a lot of people who want to travel is to have, according to the huge amount of traffic to have enough people to do the control, and that is the point i think in dover. in

calais, without damage because we are much more grace in our newport, but it's something which should not happen. for now, the warning is the coming months are said to be challenging. despite this, it hasn't put these families of trying to cross the channel for a much anticipated summer holiday. vishala sri—pathma reporting. in the last few minutes, we've received a statement from the department from transport, which says... emma burgesjoins us now from the loire in france, after a 15—hour delay

who also played for scotland, and said tomorrow will be emotional. cricket scotland said it was truly sorry to anyone who had experienced racism in the sport, and they had taken initial steps to deliver a resolution, but the resignation letter from the board suggested that the proposals from the review meant that their work was not feasible. the board has not yet seen the full report due out tomorrow, but said it is now aware of the proposed timescales and of certain mandated actions proposed within the report that it believes make the delivery of these two programmes on achievable within the timetable proposed. complete vindication of my clients, who had their careers stripped from them, who saw their dreams shattered, and many others who followed in their footsteps.

from them, who saw their dreams shattered, and many others who followed in their footsteps. this organisation stands accused of institutional racism, from top to bottom. the cricket board in scotland could do nothing other but resign. it's understood that sport scotland is extremely concerned by the review�*s findings. it previously stressed that there was no place for racism or discrimination of any kind in sport. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, glasgow. paul reddish is a member of running out racism, a group of players, administrators and fans calling for changes to cricketing institutions in scotland to eradicate racism in the game. he described tomorrow as being a milestone. tomorrow, we'll have a set of findings and recommendations, but that's when the hard work starts because we need to start taking action now. there's no leadership

board in place. there's an interim chief executives been there is a group of people in leadership positions absolutely committed to the journey that needs to go ahead, and prioritising the actions and improvement that have led to racism in our game above many other things that we've prioritised ahead of it. what we also need to do is look at rebuilding trust amongst those who have now been brave enough to come forward but have perhaps given up on the fact that discrimination was just part of the game, and that means addressing past issues. it's notjust about implementing the recommendations. clearly, where there have been individuals that have caused discrimination, and that will also need to be addressed. do you think the spotlight would have been shone had it not firefighters across london are tackling multiple weather—related blazes. london fire brigade said it is dealing with significant incidents in enfield, hayes and thamesmead. a major incident has been declared in surrey, as a fire blazes

in hankley common. several fire engines have been sent to the scene, and local people have been advised to avoid the area, and keep their windows and doors closed. with the largest active wildfire in the us spreading rapidly near yosemite national park, a state of emergency has been declared in that area of california. the blaze has grown fast since friday, and firefighters have struggled to get it under control. more than 6000 people have been evacuated and ten homes have been destroyed. rianna croxford reports. explosive and extreme, engulfing thousands of acres of woodland. hundreds of firefighters struggle to tackle the blaze with help from above. thousands of people have fled the area. officials say ten homes have already been destroyed. this army veteran is spending his wedding anniversary waiting to see

if he's one of those affected. a lot of memories, though. my family grew up there, my kids, and...i don't know. just sad. as smoke from the flames continue to billow, having built momentum over the past two days, officials in california have declared a state of emergency for the area. and though the fire is largely uncontained, firefighters remain hopeful. we're optimistic that we have, you know, great crews, they're on the ground and with the support with the aircraft, that will make progress with the fire. but as temperatures continue to soar, intensified by years of extreme drought, there is concern things will only worsen over the months ahead. rianna croxford, bbc news. 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 we're not making enough progress and we're not moving forward fast enough. so we are behind where we need to be to avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis, and i think everybody in europe and united states, around the world, are feeling the early parts of those consequences. hopefully, we can turn this around and accelerate what we promised to do in glasgow. it's interesting because that requires industrialised nations�* cuttage in government, giving quite a tough message. the benefits will not be felt for some time.

historically, responsible nations have moved to reduce pollution and protect their citizens. we need to do that now. that's a benefit and that's a benefit now. fastest—growing job in the united states last two years was wind turbine technician. third fastest growing job, solar panel installer. most countries can grow their base, balance their grade more effectively, provide less expensive energy and less damaging consequences at the same time. with china and india, you spent a lot of time talking to those nations and you know that they get the effects of climate change. in china, it's got to do with water and irrigation. and yet you know that their policies are antithetical to what needs to be done. how fast do you think they are likely to increase their pace? if they don't, we will

all fall behind. it's notjust china and india, it's every one of top 20 countries that equal 80% of all the emissions. they all have to do more. china has a new plan in place. we think they could do more. we'd like to see them transition to coal faster. we think there arew ways to make that happen. india has set a goal of deploying 500 gigawatts — that's a lot of energy — in the next eight years in order to try to meet their obligation, and they are deploying very, very rapidly and working very hard. i'm lewis vonjones. delays around the port of dover and folkestone are easing after holidaymakers and hauliers faced a third day of disruption at the channel tunnel. the entire board of cricket scotland resigns ahead of a review expected to find scottish cricket to be institutionally racist. fire services declare a major incident due to a large blaze

at a beauty spot in surrey. several fire engines have been sent to the scene. russia has admitted that it carried out yesterday's missile attack on the ukrainian port of 0desa. it's just a day after it signed a deal in which it promised not to target the port, in order to unblock shipments of grain through the black sea. millions of tonnes are stuck in ukraine, causing global shortages and price rises. james waterhouse reports from the south of the country. translation: people are starving, but it's getting spoiled here. - volodymyr summing up ukraine's grain problem. his is some of the 20 million tonnes trapped the country. this is the 0desa region. around a000 farmers

work these fields — more than anywhere else in the country — and they're all struggling. translation: all of this made the situation for the farm is very hard, | even unbearable. i am 72 years old and in over 70 years, i don't remember such a difficult year like this one. it's hoped a grain deal involving ukraine and russia will a prewar level... ..because it can't stay here. farmers like volodymyr need this agreement to work for their livelihoods. ukraine needs it to work for its economy and tens of millions of people around the world needed to work to survive. and it is those forces which are keeping this deal going — for now. it couldn't be more fragile. moscow's released this footage, admitting to a missile attack on the port of 0desa yesterday, a day after agreeing to leave it alone. it claims a military ship and a warehouse full of western western—supplied missiles were the targets. the kremlin's likely defence is that by doing so, it didn't violate the deal.

and how's this for a charm offensive? russian's foreign minister sergey lavrov meeting his opposite number in egypt, one of ukraine's biggest grain customers. he's trying to build support across africa as his country battles anger and sanctions over the war in ukraine. translation: the food crisis didn't start yesterday - or in february, it started with the pandemic because of serious mistakes that western states made regarding food and energy. regardless of blame, if volodymyr doesn't sell his grain, there won't be a next harvest. james waterhouse, bbc news, in 0desa. the russian invasion of ukraine and the fact that grain is not leaving the ports is exacerbating the situation in the horn of africa region, where an unprecedented drought is pushing millions of people to the brink of starvation. the us development agency's administrator samantha power has called for more international support to deal with food insecurity there. speaking during a visit to turkana

in northern kenya, she said the us alone cannot meet the demand of people in need of emergency aid. our senior africa correspondent, anne soy, reports from turkana. a community devastated by drought. even their colour furl adornment can barely hide their suffering. even their colourful adornment can barely hide their suffering. this is in northern kenya. four failed rain seasons and fears of a fifth have reduced even the most respected here to beggars. respected here to beggars, like this elder in the village. translation: i have many problems. i lost all my livestock. that is all my wealth, to the drought. my children have had to drop out of school. things are so bad and my wife has been forced to collect firewood for sale. these mothers have watched

their children's health deteriorates because of lack of food. they come to this clinic to get nutritional supplements. they told the us development agencies cheap some of the power. the packages run outcome of their children relapse. the packages run out, of their children relapse. the mothers that we met with who had the acutely malnourished children, all of their livestock had been wiped out, decimated by this drought. so, we are talking about the massive loss of livelihood in the risk of the massive loss of life, and that is why, again, the united states has come forward. we are providing $1.6 billion. the stakes really around mobilising individuals, the private sector, national governments and the broader donor community, the stakes are, as we have seen here today, existential. part of that money funds food

supply, but it is too little. here, many are hopeful to get a mealfor theirfamilies. if they could, some of these people would be of these people would be very happy to go away with a bag of food, but it's not enough for everyone. all of them have been affected by drought, but on the a small percentage 15% for the most vulnerable the world food programme estimates that 50 million people in the horn of africa region could face starvation if they don't get urgent food. anne soy, bbc news. the two candidates left in the race to become the next conservative party leader — and prime minister — say they'll toughen controls on migration. rishi sunak has proposed a cap on refugee numbers, and to withhold aid from countries

which won't accept the return of asylum—seekers whose claims have failed. liz truss says she would increase the number of front line border force staff by 20%. rishi sunak has been laying out his plans this afternoon while a visit to congleton in cheshire. top of my mind right now is immigration. it is a vital issue that we need to address and fast. today i've set out a ten point plan to fix our system, today, i've set out a ten point—plan to fix our system, make the rwanda policy work and ensure that migration to this country is legal, orderly and controlled. you say you'll do whatever it takes to get the rwanda scheme off the ground, but how far will you go on that? well, no option should be off the table because it's important that we have control of our borders. now, we have always been a compassionate, tolerant and welcoming country. indeed, i am the product of that and my family emigrated here. but it's absolutely right that the system works fairly for all and people can't break the rules. i will ensure as prime minister that we grip the challenges we face, we fix the problems at our borders

and ensure that the migration here is legal, orderly and controlled. that's what i'll deliver. why push forward with rwanda and the home affairs select committee say they're not convinced it'll work and it's going to be very expensive. and it's going to be very expensive? well, as chancellor, i signed off on the rwanda policy, made sure it had the funding it needed. but it is now important that as prime minister, i make that policy work. people want to know that our borders are secure, that we have control over them. i've set out a ten—point plan today to grip the problem and deal with it rapidly as prime minister. i'm prepared to do whatever it takes to keep this country safe and make sure that our borders are secure. how sure are you that all of those plans in the ten—point plan are going to be legal, because there are questions being raised already in terms of human rights and so on? well, what we do need to do is be very honest about the challenges that the echr, these european laws have on our ability to grapple with this problem. i've said that no option should be off the table. we have a new british bill of rights that's being introduced into parliament that i believe

will help solve the challenges. and i've put some other further points in the plan today saying how we could do things differently from the european convention to strengthen our ability to deport people who shouldn't be here and protect our borders. but i want people to know that this is a very serious issue. it is a priority for me, it's a priority for the country and as prime minister, i will apply the same grip and determination to that as i did to getting this country through covid and solve the problem. rishi sunak there. pope francis has arrived in canada for a visit he's described as a pilgrimage of penance. during a week—long visit, the pontiff will repeat a formal apology to indigenous survivors of abuse inflicted at roman catholic—run schools. unmarked graves were discovered last year at some sites, where children were subjected to neglect as part of a policy of cultural assimilation. 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's that simple. 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. ms moss told the bbc�*s desert 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". for the first time in 70 years, two jaguar cubs have been born in the wild in argentina.

their mother arami was released with a gps tracking collar in 2021 and has now given birth. according to the rewilding foundation, there are fewer than 250 jaguars living in the wild in argentina and it's hoped these cubs will help boost those numbers. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello again. it's been a hot and sunny day across east anglia. temperatures in a number of sites exceeded 30 celsius, but further west, it wasn't nearly that hot. indeed, we had thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain. quite a few of these pulses of rain turned out to be quite heavy as well. now, looking at the weather picture — overnight tonight, there's a little bit more rain to come. light and patchy stuff across northwestern areas generally, but some heavier, more persistent rain hanging around, loitering in northern scotland. that's a weather front that's going to start pushing back southwards. a fresher night for scotland, northern ireland and

the far north of england. much of england and wales, though, warm once again — 16—18 degrees for many. now, tomorrow's forecast, this weather front pushes southwards, taking the rain across scotland, eventually moving into northeast england. will be a few showers elsewhere, but some dry, some sunny spells coming through, and temperatures, well, lower than we've been used to over recent days. high teens for scotland, northern ireland, northern england and not as hot in east anglia and south—east england, but still warm at 25 in places.
