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 6,000 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. the consequences of the brexit and for the controls, 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. when you have a lot of people that want to travel, you need to have enough people to do the controls and thatis enough people to do the controls and that is the problem in dover. in calais, without damage because we

are much more pressed in our newport and someone but it is something which can't 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. this evening we've received a statement from the department from transport, which says... earlier i spoke to emma burgess, who has finally made it to france after a 15 hour delay on the way. we weren't expecting folkestone

to be as blocked as it was, but we left home at 4am to try to catch an 830 crossing. got there at 6:20am and sat in traffic for about 15 hours, barely moving, literally just crawling along. it moved every a0 minutes a tiny bit, so frustrating. there was nowhere to go coming out of it. we finally got on a train at 9:30pm, but it was too late to do any more driving by the we got there. i think it took us about 26 hours in the end before he made it. wow, well, good effort on around. congratulations for actually making it. just sitting in that traffic jam with the family as well, that must have been tough to keep everyone entertained. it was. we've got two little ones, a five—year—old

and a three—year—old. and i'm seven months pregnant. it was not easy at all. the only slight upside was because the car wasn't moving, they were able to play on the side of the road a bit. that's some relief and at least the weather is not too bad. you're smiling now and i'm very expressed, but you must have been hugely frustrated that this was happening. i think the frustrated thing was that we weren't getting any update from eurotunnel. there didn't seem to be anyone around to ask what was going on. traffic literally wasn't moving. we couldn't understand. when we actually got through check—in, that whole process

took about two hours, which is what you would expect in the summer holidays. but we have no idea what caused the extreme traffic yesterday. and we're starting to get some answers on that, which is obviously too late for you. before i let you go, are you able to unwind? have you started to actually enjoy your holiday? yeah, we arrived at 3p:m., so we have now begun our holiday so we can enjoy it. we're very glad we're here, but it felt like giving up yesterday. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are writer and journalist emma woolf and chief political correspondent for the telegraph, camilla turner. the entire board of cricket scotland has resigned with immediate effect, ahead of the release

of an independent review of racism in the sport. the report to be published tomorrow is expected to find institutional racism in the scottish game. here's our scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie. this is a gloomy day for cricket in scotland. but these players were not put off by the dreich west of scotland weather, or the dark clouds that have gathered around the game. the review was commissioned by sport scotland last year. it followed allegations of racism and discrimination, including claims from the all—time leading wicket taker majid haq and qasim sheikh, 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. 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 a milestone. well, given the reasons that they've given, in particular 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 for a matter of five days. so the first thing we need 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 have been tackling multiple weather—related blazes. london fire brigade said it is dealing with significant incidents in enfield, hayes and thamesmead. earlier a major incident was declared in surrey after a fire in hankley common — it has now been downgraded. several fire engines were sent to the scene. 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 part of california. the blaze has grown fast since friday, and firefighters have struggled to get it under control. more than 6,000 people have been evacuated from the area 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...| 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 to their citizens and less damaging, negative

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 they've put in place. we think they could do more. we'd like to see them transition to coal faster if possible. we think there are 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 at this. joining me now is patrick brown, who is professor in energy and climate atjohn hopkins university in california. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the rouramme. . ~ i. ., ., programme. thank you for having me. we saw a few— programme. thank you for having me. we saw a few moments _ programme. thank you for having me. we saw a few moments ago _ programme. thank you for having me. we saw a few moments ago these - we saw a few moments ago these pictures of these wildfires in california. clearly, it is a region which is pretty used to them, what are you noticing them about them wildfires are a natural part of the californian ecosystem but in the last couple of decades that have got a lot more intense and a lot harder to fight. a lot more intense and a lot harder to fiuht. . ., ., .,, a lot more intense and a lot harder to fiuht. . ., ., ., a lot more intense and a lot harder tofiuht. . ., ., ., ., to fight. california has had a oli of to fight. california has had a policy of artificially - to fight. california has had a i policy of artificially suppressing wildfires when they do occur, which has caused fuels to build up to our

natural levels and california and on top of that it is getting warmer and in different locations, warmer can mean wetter, and in some places it means drier. in the western united states it means drier. 0bviously, when you have a bunch of unnatural fuels building up and they are drier than they would be otherwise, you have a situation where fires can be much larger and harder to control, so that is what we are seeing. what so that is what we are seeing. what can be done — so that is what we are seeing. what can be done to _ so that is what we are seeing. what can be done to try _ so that is what we are seeing. what can be done to try to _ so that is what we are seeing. what can be done to try to avoid - so that is what we are seeing. what can be done to try to avoid the seems like we are seeing now of these huge fires? the seems like we are seeing now of these huge fires?— seems like we are seeing now of these huge fires? the main way to combat this _ these huge fires? the main way to combat this is _ these huge fires? the main way to combat this is to _ these huge fires? the main way to combat this is to reduce _ these huge fires? the main way to combat this is to reduce the - these huge fires? the main way to combat this is to reduce the fuel. combat this is to reduce the fuel loads so you can either do that with what is called mechanical thinning, literally going in and pulling out vegetation, or by prescribed burns where you are going in and burning intentionally during times of the year when the fire will not get out of control. there are plans in place to do more of that in california but it is a big state, there is a lot of forest and vegetation so that will take time. but that is the near—term

solution and the long—term solution, you know, at the century timescale, is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions so the temperature stopped rising. i emissions so the temperature stopped risinu. ., �* ~' ., rising. i don't know whether you could hear _ rising. i don't know whether you could hear that _ rising. i don't know whether you could hear that interview - rising. i don't know whether you could hear that interview with i rising. i don't know whether you i could hear that interview with john kerry, he is on a could hear that interview withjohn kerry, he is on a mission to do exact what you have mentioned. what do you make of his comments on chances of success? i’m do you make of his comments on chances of success?— chances of success? i'm not an exert chances of success? i'm not an expert on _ chances of success? i'm not an expert on lettuce _ chances of success? i'm not an expert on lettuce and - chances of success? i'm not an l expert on lettuce and geopolitics but the climate emergency idea does seem like it may be a little bit myopic, it may be sacrificing some ability to do things politically in the short—term because you can have situations where if you ban us crude oil exports that will harm the relationship between the us and the eu and we are trying to do sanctions on russia, said things like that come into play, and as a climate

scientist, we really look at this global scale, scientist, we really look at this globalscale, century scientist, we really look at this global scale, century scale type situation. 80% of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels and it is not something you can just do a quick climate emergency policy and have some huge effect, you are going to have huge political effects in the short—term. but in the long term, it is really about this very kind of gradual global from fossil fuels to a source of energy that doesn't make c02 as a by—product. patrick brown, thank you for talking to us. 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 spoilt here. - vladimirsumming up ukraine's grain problem. his is some of the 20 million tonnes trapped in the country. this is the 0desa region. around 4,000 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 farmers 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 see five million tonnes shifted every month through the black sea, a pre—war 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 need it 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 launching a missile attack on the port of odessa yesterday, a day after agreeing to leave it alone. it claims a military ship and a warehouse full of 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? russia's foreign minister, sergei 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 odessa. 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. for more on what the pope's visit means for indigenous communities, we can speak to willow fiddler, indigenous reporter at the globe and mail. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for having me. so, what do you think this... how, i suppose, will this visit be viewed by survivors there?— suppose, will this visit be viewed by survivors there? yes, and i 'ust want to start fl by survivors there? yes, and i 'ust want to start by i by survivors there? yes, and i 'ust want to start by saying i by survivors there? yes, and i 'ust want to start by saying my i by survivors there? yes, and ijust

want to start by saying my heart i by survivors there? yes, and i just l want to start by saying my heart and my thoughts are with the survivors. i was watching the footage earlier of pope francis arriving here in canada not too long ago and i am not there but i can tell you, i have already heard from someone on their way there with survivors, and it is quite an emotional and overwhelming and triggering time, and we need to keep the survivors at top of mind here. what we are anticipating, the survivors are anticipated, the indigenous leaders, the apology tomorrow on monday, and that significant, and we will be watching for that because i consider that, i call it a follow—up apology to the one we saw in rome. i was in rome covering the internet get —— indigenous delegation that went to see pope francis in april when he apologised. the wording was very specific, he was apologising on the hearth of certain members that committed these heinous crimes against the children and survivors.

what survivors will be looking for this time around is an apology on behalf of the entire church, taking that full accountability from the catholic church for what they did. beyond that, aside from an apology, there is a list of things that survivors and indigenous leaders are looking for. top of that seems to be rescinding the doctrine discovery which is a legal complicated legal concept that involves a proclamation by the pope in the 1400s that basically any european country can claim jurisdiction and sovereignty over any non—christian nation. so, that of course included all indigenous nations and had significant effects on canadian law, for example. right. so they are going to be calling for that, and there will be other things to hold

them accountable.— there will be other things to hold them accountable. fascinating. good to mark those _ them accountable. fascinating. good to mark those other _ them accountable. fascinating. good to mark those other issues _ them accountable. fascinating. good to mark those other issues here - them accountable. fascinating. good to mark those other issues here as i to mark those other issues here as well. i want to go back to the abuse in those catholic run schools. for people who aren't familiar, could you just briefly describe what actually happened originally? 50. you just briefly describe what actually happened originally? so, we had a truth and _ actually happened originally? so, we had a truth and reconciliation - had a truth and reconciliation commission here in the early 2000 that documented just what that looks like. we are talking about over 150,000 children that were forcibly sent, over about 139 government and church run residential schools, the majority of them run by the catholic church. i am carrying to —— coming to you from northern ontario in canada and in this region, they were several residential schools. one of the most notorious catholic schools in the country was called st annes catholic school and they were notorious for using a home—made

electric chair to punish the children, making children, children were forced to eat their own vomit. and they were discipline for things like speaking their language. and this would have been a time when indigenous children, theirfirst language would have been an indigenous language, and they were punished for speaking those languages in the residential schools. you know, malnutrition, nutritional experiments conducted. this has been all about it to genocide and specifically cultural genocide and specifically cultural genocide is what it has been called. thank you very much for talking us through that and explaining the background and the significance of this visit. of course, we will keep across it over the next couple of days. thank you very much for coming on the programme.— 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, 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 when the home affairs select committee say they're not convinced it'll work 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. tomorrow night we'll bring you live coverage of the leadership debate between liz truss and rishi sunak in stoke—on—trent, where they'll be head to head in front of an audience of conservative voters. we'll bring you the debate live between 9:00 and 10pm, with build up from 8pm. now it's time for a look

at the weather with chris fawkes. hello again.
