this is bbc news. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. i'm lukwesa burak. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, says the killings of 50 prisoners of wars at a detention centre in the russian—occupied part of the donetsk region, on friday, is a war crime. moscow has accused kyiv of killing the prisoners in a rocket strike. the first grain shipment from ukraine, since russia's invasion, is ready and waiting for the signal to leave port. widespread disruption to train services is expected throughout the uk today, as drivers from seven operators walk out over pay. and former tory leadership candidate, tom tugendhat, is the latest conservative to back

liz truss in the contest. pope francis has said he may need to consider stepping down, and would do so if his health meant that he could not serve in the way he should. hello, and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. the united nations and the red cross have been asked to investigate the deaths of more than 50 ukrainian prisoners of war. they were killed while they were being held at a detention centre, in the russian—occupied part of the donetsk region. these are pictures of the rocket attack, which is thought to have lead to the prisoners�* deaths. ukraine and russia have accused each

other of carrying out the attack. ukraine says moscow, is trying to cover up evidence of torture and war crimes at the site. president zelensky gave this reaction to the attack, in his nightly address, to the ukrainian people. translation: i have received reports i of the attack in the donetsk region. | it was a deliberate russian war crime, a deliberate mass murder of ukrainian prisoners of war, more than 50 dead. when the defenders of the azovstal left the plant, the un and international gommittee of the red cross acted as guarantors of the life and health of our soldiers. lets go live now, to paul adams in kyiv, for the latest on this, and other developments. hello. can we just start off with the latest and any reaction to this attack? we the latest and any reaction to this attack? ~ ., , the latest and any reaction to this attack? ~ . , , ., attack? we are still in the midst of attack? we are still in the midst of a war of words _ attack? we are still in the midst of a war of words about _ attack? we are still in the midst of a war of words about how- attack? we are still in the midst of a war of words about how this -

a war of words about how this happened and who was responsible. i should say we do not know if this was a rocket attack. that is merely what the russian side is saying. they are saying that the ukrainians sheued they are saying that the ukrainians shelled this facility which was holding ukrainian prisoners of war. sensibly to stop them speaking out about their views on the ukrainian government. it is a fairly surprising, frankly, explanation. there are all sorts of other versions of this which suggest that it wasn't a rocket attack at all but something engineered inside the building itself. the evidence that we have seen from inside and outside is somewhat inconclusive it has to be said. but both sides are continuing to accuse each other. the international community is looking on because on the face of it, this does look as though it was a very grave incident indeed. this morning, the british ambassador here in kyiv, melinda simmons tweeted about it. i'm going to quote what she says because i think a choice of words is

in interesting. she says it needs investigating. it looks like part of a concerning pattern of the worst human rights abuses and war crimes being committed inside ukraine with impunity. those sounds like the words of someone who has already reached a conclusion about who was responsible for this and i don't think she thinks it was the ukrainians.— think she thinks it was the ukrainians. ., think she thinks it was the ukrainians. . , , ukrainians. the un and the red cross have been asked _ ukrainians. the un and the red cross have been asked to _ ukrainians. the un and the red cross have been asked to investigate - ukrainians. the un and the red cross have been asked to investigate the i have been asked to investigate the deaths in this attack. you havejust read what the british ambassador has said saying that it needs investigating. is it likely that those organisations will be very easily given access to carry out the investigation?— investigation? very easily, absolutely _ investigation? very easily, absolutely not. _ investigation? very easily, absolutely not. this - investigation? very easily, absolutely not. this is - investigation? very easily, absolutely not. this is a i investigation? very easily, i absolutely not. this is a part investigation? very easily, - absolutely not. this is a part of the country that is extremely difficult for any outside observer is to really gain any access, let alone any credible information.

there those in charge there will attempt to engineer and control what is seen. we have no word yet to suggest that n either organisation has been granted any access. we were told yesterday that the icrc has requested access to the site. we do not know whether they have been granted it. obviously, they don't tend to speak to the media and give us a moment by moment update on what they are doing, and we may at some point hearfrom them, they are doing, and we may at some point hear from them, but if you remember back eight or nine years ago when that malaysia an airliner was down, very much the same part of the donbas, it took a very long time to establish what happened. and getting access, getting information was extremely difficult. i think something similar will happen here as well. �* , w' , something similar will happen here as well. �* , w , ., something similar will happen here as well. �* , , ., ., as well. and very quickly, grain and shi -s as well. and very quickly, grain and ships taking — as well. and very quickly, grain and ships taking some _ as well. and very quickly, grain and ships taking some of— as well. and very quickly, grain and ships taking some of that _ as well. and very quickly, grain and ships taking some of that grain - as well. and very quickly, grain and ships taking some of that grain to l ships taking some of that grain to the most badly needed areas. what more have you got on that? there

were hiuh more have you got on that? there were high hepes _ more have you got on that? there were high hopes yesterday - more have you got on that? there were high hopes yesterday that i more have you got on that? ii—iiff were high hopes yesterday that this process could begin. president zelensky was down in odesa and ambassadors were down there and officials. all of the expectation that something might start to move. it did not happen. i don't think there was any particular sinister reason for that. i think it is likely that in the next day or so we will see a ship leave one of those three ports involved. that will mark the propel you to this process getting under way, but it is clearly a slow process to get under way. a lot of moving parts have to be put in place. i am guessing that that will happen and it will happen soon. thank you very much for that update. rail passengers face more disruption, as train drivers from 7 operators go on strike, in a dispute over pay. the industrial action coincides with the commonwealth games and the first day of the english football league season. here's our transport correspondent, katy austin. it's the latest strike to hit the railway this summer.

it involves train drivers working at seven operators. some routes will have no services at all, others only a very limited number. heathrow express and london northwestern are also affected, even though they're not directly part of the dispute, and trains on some other networks are expected to get very busy. mark from hampshire won't be able to get the train to a wedding in kent. we're lucky enough to have a car, so we can get there, it'll be a longer than convenientjourney. but there are some people who will not be able to get to the wedding at all tomorrow and have had to cancel. ifeel sorry for the bride and groom. the drivers' union, aslef, says the dispute is over the need for a pay increase that addresses the rising cost of living. the train companies say they want to give a pay rise but that reforms are needed to afford it, and they have called for talks. we haven't, unfortunately, been able to have the talks to unlock the dispute at this moment. what is really important is aslef have to come and talk to us, sit at the table with us and have meaningful

discussions for reform. that's the only way we can get staff a pay increase. but we need to have the modernisation that can free up cash to pay staff. the union say they have been trying to negotiate a settlement for a year but had met a brick wall. we would be happy to meet the rail delivery group whenever, but they have to be for meaningful negotiations. they also have to bring something to the table that addresses the cost—of—living crisis. we're happy to talk about productivity and further flexibility that we have always given with the employers, but it can't be a race to the bottom or our terms and conditions going backwards. another drivers' strike is scheduled for the 13th of august. other unions are also planning further industrial action. unless agreements can be reached, the summer of rail disruption looks set to continue. katy austin, bbc news. our reporter simonjones, is in kent this morning,

at folkestone central station, where no trains are running. simon, just looking at the same behind you, it says it all, doesn't it? , , , ., y it? yes, the same tells the story. no trains from _ it? yes, the same tells the story. no trains from south-eastern - it? yes, the same tells the story. l no trains from south-eastern which no trains from south—eastern which is a rail company that operates services in this area, are running at all today. normally on a saturday morning, the station would be really busy with people coming here to enjoy a day at the beach as a tourist destination. but today, it is eerily quiet. the station is locked up. there are a couple of staff here who are not trained drivers. they are not on strike so they have told me they are going to do a bit of admin and cleaning at the station making the most of the bit of downtime. but this is going to have a real effect on passengers. there people have been arriving at the station, not aware that there was a strike on. they had not seen

advance notification of it even though there had been posters around and posters on the station. we spoke to one person who had just completed a 12 hour night shift as a care worker, and a woman who wanted to buy in the advanced ticket for next week only to find the ticket office was shut to. it’s week only to find the ticket office was shut te— was shut to. it's “ust so random, that's was shut to. it's “ust so random, than the _ was shut to. it's “ust so random, that's the thing. — was shut to. it'sjust so random, that's the thing. you _ was shut to. it'sjust so random, that's the thing. you can't - was shut to. it'sjust so random, that's the thing. you can't really| that's the thing. you can't really make _ that's the thing. you can't really make any— that's the thing. you can't really make any plans _ that's the thing. you can't really make any plans. or— that's the thing. you can't really make any plans. or if— that's the thing. you can't really make any plans. or if you - that's the thing. you can't really make any plans. or if you make| make any plans. or if you make plans, _ make any plans. or if you make plans, they— make any plans. or if you make plans, they don't _ make any plans. or if you make plans, they don't turn _ make any plans. or if you make plans, they don't turn up - make any plans. or if you make plans, they don't turn up like i plans, they don't turn up like today — plans, they don't turn up like toda . �* , plans, they don't turn up like toda . v . , plans, they don't turn up like toda. �*, ., ., plans, they don't turn up like toda. �*, .,, ., ., plans, they don't turn up like toda. �*, ., ., .,, today. it's a bit annoying to be honest because _ today. it's a bit annoying to be honest because i _ today. it's a bit annoying to be honest because i think - today. it's a bit annoying to be honest because i think the i today. it's a bit annoying to be | honest because i think the next today. it's a bit annoying to be i honest because i think the next bus for me _ honest because i think the next bus for me is— honest because i think the next bus for me is in— honest because i think the next bus for me is in an hour and then it is going— for me is in an hour and then it is going to— for me is in an hour and then it is going to take another hour and a half _ going to take another hour and a half its— going to take another hour and a half. it's going to take a while. i haven't— half. it's going to take a while. i haven't slept a wink. i worked eight until eight — haven't slept a wink. i worked eight until eight. i don't know where going — until eight. i don't know where going to — until eight. i don't know where going to go now. until eight. i don't know where going to go now-— until eight. i don't know where auoin to no now. ., .,~ , going to go now. some holiday-makers are caettin going to go now. some holiday-makers are getting caught _ going to go now. some holiday-makers are getting caught up — going to go now. some holiday-makers are getting caught up in _ going to go now. some holiday-makers are getting caught up in this _ going to go now. some holiday-makers are getting caught up in this as - are getting caught up in this as well. we spoke to one family from switzerland who are coming to the station hoping to get a train to brighton on the south coast to spend a day on the beach there. they are now having to consider whether they can find a coach there are change

their plan plans. there are some fears that with no trains running here, people will take to the roads. it is already expected to be a really busy day on the roads with the commonwealth games taking place in the midlands, and also the start of the football league season in england. plus, in this part of the world, you have got thousands of holiday makers heading to the eurotunnel in folkestone and down to the port in dover. last week, there was massive congestion in this area. so far today, things seem to be running smoothly, but the advices check before you travel. and in terms of the dispute and negotiations, the two sides seem very far apart. negotiations, the two sides seem very far apart-— negotiations, the two sides seem very far apart. thank you very much for that update. _ let's speak to david sidebottom, director of the travel watchdog, transport focus. good morning and thank you for speaking to us on bbc news. your thoughts first on this latest strike action being taken. i

thoughts first on this latest strike action being taken.— action being taken. i think the thing from _ action being taken. i think the thing from a _ action being taken. i think the thing from a passenger- action being taken. i think the thing from a passenger pointl action being taken. i think the l thing from a passenger point of action being taken. i think the i thing from a passenger point of view clearly is the disruption is not required. passengers want the unions and the train operators to get around the table and get this sorted out. the disruption is ongoing. this is another day of strikes, another day planned for next saturday and other dates planned in august, and what we're hearing is passengers want people to get round the table and get sorted out. aha, want people to get round the table and get sorted out. fix. lat want people to get round the table and get sorted out.— want people to get round the table and get sorted out. a lot of what is auoin on and get sorted out. a lot of what is going on on — and get sorted out. a lot of what is going on on the — and get sorted out. a lot of what is going on on the ground, _ and get sorted out. a lot of what is going on on the ground, looking i going on on the ground, looking at things like the staff that are on hand and effective communication being given to passengers, how is that looking? i being given to passengers, how is that looking?— that looking? i think from the strikes we — that looking? i think from the strikes we have _ that looking? i think from the strikes we have seen - that looking? i think from the strikes we have seen so i that looking? i think from the strikes we have seen so far, i strikes we have seen so far, certainly the key that your correspondence said his information. information is vital. we urge passengers to check, check, and check again before they travel. what is good is they have been feeding back into nations and doing research with passengers on the day is

whether there they have travelled or not. they have been listening to us and making improvements, but it is still very frustrating to hear that people are turning up to stations and aware. clearly there is still more to do on that. it does not surprise me in a day like today where people are taking more trips for leisure purposes that people are being caught out and that is sad to hear. i really feel for that man who was at the end of his 12 hour shift because people are trying to get home again. this because people are trying to get home again-— because people are trying to get homeaaain. a ,~ , home again. as they are saying, this is a relic last — home again. as they are saying, this is a relic last resort _ home again. as they are saying, this is a relic last resort and _ home again. as they are saying, this is a relic last resort and we - home again. as they are saying, this is a relic last resort and we are i is a relic last resort and we are getting a reaction from rail bosses and delivery groups that they are very disappointed at the action. how do you see a solution being met? i’m do you see a solution being met? i'm far from do you see a solution being met? in far from an expert on industrial relations in solving them, but what i would say is please to keep talking. it sounds from those interviews that you played that there are some discussions but there is a gap there. i think the important thing here is getting around the table and getting it

sorted out, because i think a day like today, a number of people do have choices about how they travel. some don't. and if they feel that they cannot rely on their railway in they cannot rely on their railway in the future for a day out or break, because of the strikes, people find a way finding alternatives, taking the car or bus or coach or a domestic flight. longerterm, it domestic flight. longer term, it will damage domestic flight. longerterm, it will damage the railway. so hopefully the sooner we can get the strike sorted out the better. what strike sorted out the better. what is the tipping _ strike sorted out the better. what is the tipping point _ strike sorted out the better. what is the tipping point when it comes to passengers? when they say enough is enough? i to passengers? when they say enough is enou~h? ~ ., to passengers? when they say enough is enou~h? ~ . , , ., is enough? i think at this stage, we are interviewing _ is enough? i think at this stage, we are interviewing passengers - is enough? i think at this stage, we l are interviewing passengers through research and they are telling us they are able to make alternative arrangements. clearly those commuting during the week more there is the option for those who can to work from home. so there is some flexibility there. what we have seen since the pandemic is that the leisure industry is booming since the pandemic. the leisure market,

some of the routes are clearly telling us that they are seen passenger levels exceeding where they were before the pandemic. the leisure market is funding the railway at the moment and i think it is important that passengers who can make choices will do so in the short term. but if you are looking to go away in septemberfor a domestic holiday or a day out, i suspect passengers will start to think twice about booking in advance so the sooner this gets sorted out the better. . ~' , ., , . former tory leadership contender tom tugendhat has become the latest senior conservative to back liz truss in the race to become prime minister. mr tugendhat, who was knocked out in fifth place, said the foreign secretary could unite the party. in the contest to replace borisjohnson, ms truss is now seen as the frontrunner against the former chancellor rishi sunak. our political correspondent,

ione wells, is with me now. hello, good morning to you. just how much of a front runner? i hello, good morning to you. just how much of a front runner?— much of a front runner? i think at the moment— much of a front runner? i think at the moment she _ much of a front runner? i think at the moment she certainly - much of a front runner? i think at the moment she certainly is i much of a front runner? i think at the moment she certainly is seen j much of a front runner? i think at i the moment she certainly is seen as leading the polls on all fronts, really. i think the more general consensus from both sides is that either she would need a blow to the campaign, or rishi sunak would need an incredible boost to bring him back at this stage. in terms of the endorsement that we have had last night from tom tugendhat and why thatis night from tom tugendhat and why that is significant, perhaps less so the endorsement itself, remember at the endorsement itself, remember at the moment it is not mps that matter right now but tory party members. but why it is significant is why he has decided to come out now and supporters should think that people show that is where it is. they feel this is the most likely camp at the moment for them. this is the most likely camp at the moment forthem. speaking this is the most likely camp at the moment for them. speaking to liz truss's allies last night, their ballots going out to tory mps on monday, it was certainly one of optimism. they are saying they are not complacent but everything is

pointing in the right direction for them. meanwhile, there is a bit of persists this pessimism from some rishi sunak allies. he has not landed any particularly big blows in the last couple of days that have helped boost his position in the polls, so coming into those ballots coming out on monday, is seen as the front runner. coming out on monday, is seen as the front runner-— front runner. when we talk about a lot of these — front runner. when we talk about a lot of these big _ front runner. when we talk about a lot of these big names _ front runner. when we talk about a lot of these big names coming i front runner. when we talk about a lot of these big names coming out| lot of these big names coming out and placing their vote with the preferred candidate, is it a case of branding or a case of messaging and those messages landing? what branding or a case of messaging and those messages landing?— those messages landing? what is winnin: those messages landing? what is winning here? — those messages landing? what is winning here? i _ those messages landing? what is winning here? ithink— those messages landing? what is winning here? i think you're i those messages landing? what is| winning here? i think you're right. that we have seen a couple of big in dortmund, notably from ben wallace who also came out in support of liz truss and now tom tugendhat. there are multiple factors at play here. on the one hand, for these mps coming out and endorsing candidates, they are throwing their weight behind somebody who they feel would behind somebody who they feel would be a leader that they can both get

behind policy —wise, but also that they may be able to sort of have a position in government with as well. so that is playing into this. it is a bit of a branding exercise at this point. it is showing that momentum driving behind certain campaigns. as i said before, driving behind certain campaigns. as isaid before, it driving behind certain campaigns. as i said before, it is not necessarily a case of needing that mp support right now, but it is a message to the member that they can can unite different figures from across the political spectrum. tom tugendhat would be a notable example here. he is not usually in line. he is usually among the most centrist of mps. one of his key messages as he feels she is one who can unite the party. that feels she is one who can unite the -a . �* ., y feels she is one who can unite the party. at the moment they are talkin: party. at the moment they are talking to _ party. at the moment they are talking to the _ party. at the moment they are talking to the members. i party. at the moment they are talking to the members. the l party. at the moment they are i talking to the members. the final say is going to lie with the general public. there must be very careful consideration here about the candidate who is put forward that candidate who is put forward that can keep the party in power. how

finer balances this. how much consideration is being put into this? it consideration is being put into this? , , , ., consideration is being put into this? , , , this? it is interesting you say this because actually _ this? it is interesting you say this because actually while _ this? it is interesting you say this because actually while all- this? it is interesting you say this because actually while all the i this? it is interesting you say this l because actually while all the poles of the tory members, some of the polls about the electorate are putting rishi sunak in the lead. some allies of his have actually said that one of the weaknesses have been that he is playing this more like a general election campaign and appealing to that wider electorate as well. i think as you say both elements are important here. the initial vote that is at stake is among conservative party members and some of the policies that have been chucked out in recent days, whether they be in migration or tax cuts, are certainly designed to appeal to those tory members. however, the electorate is going to be a key factor. this comes after months and months of tory fighting in briefing and tory members against each other and tory members against each other and internalfighting too. whoever wins this contest is going to have a huge task in bringing the party back together and as a result deliver on

priorities they would elected to do at the last election if they adjusted to win the next one. aha, at the last election if they adjusted to win the next one. a long wa to no adjusted to win the next one. a long way to go for— adjusted to win the next one. a long way to go for stage _ adjusted to win the next one. a long way to go for stage one, _ adjusted to win the next one. a long way to go for stage one, but - adjusted to win the next one. a long way to go for stage one, but thank l way to go for stage one, but thank you very much. in the last hour, pope francis has announced he is considering scaling back his travels due to his health problems. the announcement came on his return flight from a week—long trip to canada, where he met indigenous people to apologise for the catholic church's role in the residential schools. the pope said the treatment of indigenous people in canada amounted to a cultural genocide. our religion editor, aleem maqbool has more from rome on the pope's decision to reduce his schedule. we have just returned to terminal five in rome after a week—long trip to canada with the pope. this is where diplomatic fitters that has come and go. we are all exhausted. it turns out the pope is as well. he

said it was a very intense trip for him. he talked about the fact that perhaps now he might need to save himself a little in order to continue serving the church, or he might have to think of retiring. he told that to us journalists on the plane from his wheelchair. he has beenin plane from his wheelchair. he has been in a wheelchair for a lot of this trip because of ongoing issues with his knees. although he has previously dismissed all the speculation that there has been about and much more serious life threatening illness. but he said it was not taboo for a pope to step down, and that was a door he said that was open to him for not a door he had knocked on as yet. although he had knocked on as yet. although he did say, that was not to say that in a couple of days' time he would not do just that and consider retiring. but he has stressed that for the moment, he intends to

continue his duties. he does for example still want to make a trip to ukraine. we were expecting some news on that, but he said for now he has to consult his doctors first. more now on the situation in ukraine... where the blockade of ports has led to food shortages and price rises around the world. on friday, the insurer ascot, part of lloyds of london, announced it will launch marine cargo and war insurance for grain and food products moving from ukrainian black sea ports. it comes after russia and ukraine signed agreements to allow grain exports to resume. i'm joined by the lead underwriter on that insurance, chris mcgill. thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. i wonder if you could just take us through and simplify what this insurance will mean. ,., ., simplify what this insurance will mean, , ., ., ., simplify what this insurance will mean. ., ., , simplify what this insurance will mean. ., . , . mean. good morning. thanks very much for havin: mean. good morning. thanks very much for having me — mean. good morning. thanks very much for having me on — mean. good morning. thanks very much for having me on the _ mean. good morning. thanks very much

self heat and self combust. so we might actually see an explosion on one of their vessels, and it is important to make sure that no one is shame is that that is an act of aggression because itjust could be an inherent risk profile of grain and also fertiliser. i an inherent risk profile of grain and also fertiliser.— and also fertiliser. i was also auoin to and also fertiliser. i was also going to say _ and also fertiliser. i was also going to say there _ and also fertiliser. i was also going to say there that i and also fertiliser. i was also going to say there that if i and also fertiliser. i was also going to say there that if you and also fertiliser. i was also i going to say there that if you are going to say there that if you are going to say fertiliser i could fully understand that, but you also saying the same thing could happen to grain and cereal as well? yes. when grains _ to grain and cereal as well? yes. when grains are _ to grain and cereal as well? yes. when grains are on _ to grain and cereal as well? yes. when grains are on board - to grain and cereal as well? yes. when grains are on board a i to grain and cereal as well? ya; when grains are on board a vessel, you have to check the moisture content of the grain. i risk that we see is that a lot of the grains on the vessels, we need to make sure their water content is checked before those vessels depart because the last thing we want is an explosion on board a vessel that is not an active military aggression but could be assumed so. if not an active military aggression but could be assumed so. if there is

our correspondent lizzy steel is there. tributes have been pouring in at the scene where nine—year—old lilia valutyte was found with a suspected stab wound at 6:20pm on thursday evening. she later died. people who know her say she was out playing as she often did. we are in the middle of a market town, here, there's shops just behind the camera. it is the violence of the crime that has shocked the community to its core here. yesterday, police said they had arrested two people in connection with the incident and launched a murder inquiry, but no further details were released, and it's this lack of information that people here are really struggling with. last night, the lithuanian community, which lilia's family are a part of, held a vigil. just before that, i spoke to her teacher who described heras a bright, happy and smiley little girl. they said they are devastated by her death. but it's notjust people who knew her who are saddened, there has been a steady stream of people going into the church here and lighting candles,

trying to process the brutality of this act. meanwhile, police are asking people not to speculate on social media about what happened. but certainly, a sombre mood this saturday morning in boston, and people telling me they are waking up to a town they wil never quite feel the same about living in. they will never quite feel the same about living in. children's mental health services are buckling under pressure and putting vulnerable young people at greater risk, according to a new report. the commission on young lives, found less than a quarter of children referred to specialist services started treatment within the four—week waiting target. the government said it is committed to ensuring children get the support they need as early as possible. the chair of the commission on young lives, anne longfield told the bbc how young people are struggling and what needs to be done to tackle the problem.

we are seeing huge demand, rocket—boosted by the pandemic, and the health system just has not been able to keep up despite some expansion, and it is now buckling. it is not seeing anywhere near the number of children it needs to in the timescale. only 23% of children get to be seen within four weeks, and there's huge amounts of referrals coming forward — over 350,000 in one month alone recently. so, it is just not sustainable, and we see probably every family in the land will know someone, we see in classrooms children struggling with behaviour, being excluded, and indeed in some of the tragic headlines. so, what we're saying is that there is an opportunity and a huge need here for those candidates that are seeking to be pm to really reset this, to stabilise what is going on, to stabilise children's mental health, but also to stabilise the services in response.

and we are saying we will need a £1 billion recovery fund. message from the page - the first hosepipe ban in england has been announced, as the country experiences one of its driest years on record. low river flows have forced southern water to impose the ban for the first time in a decade, with people in being asked to stop using hoses and sprinklers from next friday. mike apps has this report. a paddle in the river seemed sensible on a day like today, and these families of southern water customers were not surprised to learn that a hosepipe ban is on the way. my girls have a water slide which they love playing on, so they won't be able to do that, but i guess we willjust be using the water butte more to water the flowers. this stretch of the river itchen in otterbourne is an extraction point for southern water. the reason the ban is being brought in is because flow levels are currently 25% down on what they should be at this time of year. the problem is no one knows for sure

quite how long it is going to take them to return to normal.
