the building itself. the evidence that we have seen from inside and outside is a somewhat inconclusive, it has to be said. but both sides continue to accuse each other. the international committee is looking on because on the face of it, this does look as though this was a very, grade incident indeed. this morning the british ambassador here in kyiv, tweet about it and i will quote what you said. she says that the incident needs investigating, it looks like part of an increasingly worrying pattern of the worst human rights abuses and possible war crimes. that sounds to me like someone who is reachable and no conclusions of who his response will. i don't think she think it's the ukrainians.

grain shipments... on friday, in insurance company said it would launch insurance policies for grain shipments moving from ukrainian black sea ports. the shipments moving from ukrainian black sea ports.— black sea ports. the lead underwriter _ black sea ports. the lead underwriter explained - black sea ports. the lead i underwriter explained more black sea ports. the lead - underwriter explained more about black sea ports. the lead _ underwriter explained more about the deal. we're delighted to bring this insurance to the market. this insurance will provide coverage for all risks of any vessel going out of the ukrainian ports that have been designated for... also for war perils, which is clearly crucial at the moment. it comes at a high risk, clearly, because we're operating

under wartime conditions. how much is it costing? it's certainly a higher cost than it would usually be in non war regions. but i think we've priced and structured this facility to cater and to to assume that the safe corridors exist and are maintained. and we're looking to give good levels of no claims bonuses back to insureds when grins are safely delivered. i think one thing to highlight as well, which is important. these interests can actually self heat and self combust. so we might actually see an explosion on one of the vessels. and it's important to make sure that no one assumes that that's an act of aggression, because it could just be an inherent risk profile of grain and also fertiliser. 0k. i was going to say that if you were going to say fertiliser, i could fully understand that. but are you saying that that the same thing could happen to cereal and grain as well? yes, exactly that. so when grain is loaded on board

a vessel, you have to check the moisture content of that grain. and a risk we see is a lot of the grain has already been loaded on board the vessels. so we need to make sure the moisture content is checked before those vessels depart because the last thing we want is an explosion on board a vessel that is not an act of military aggression, but could be assumed so in the worst case. good afternoon.

there's yet more disruption on britain's railways this weekend as train drivers who are members of the aslef union at seven rail companies walk out in a row over pay. it's the second strike this week affecting passengers, with more scheduled for dates in august. our correspondentjudith moritz reports on the scale of the disruption. folkestone station this morning was a gateway to nowhere. no southeastern trains running and passengers who didn't know about today's strike caught by surprise. we were planning to go to brighton and now we will have to find an alternative. we will have to take the bus or something. anyway, it's the weekend, it's holidays. it's got to be worse when people have to go to work. not right, because i don't go to london very often and i've got a lunch date with my daughter and a friend. we were planning to go _ to dover castle and then come back. but now we can't go, - so we will have to find a bus. but not all stations are closed. though around 5,000 train drivers

and seven companies have walked out over pay, other companies are unaffected. at leeds station, northern rail services are running, but the lner east coast main line is severely disrupted. normally, there are two trains every hour that run from here in leeds to london. today, there was one that left first thing this morning, but that is it. the next will not go to the capital until tomorrow morning. the train drivers union aslef says members like these at leeds have not been on strike since 1995, and they have a high mandate for action as they push for a pay increase to address the cost of living. what is the magic figure? what are you looking for? there is no figure. what we are saying is we want a suitable pay offer. let's be clear, it is the 1a companies that are controlled by the government that are in a blockage. elsewhere in the industry, we have agreed deals with other companies ranging from about a.5% up to 8%. so there is no figure. what we are saying is give us a suitable pay rise,

give us a suitable figure that we can put to our members and if they believe it is the right thing to do, we move on and the dispute is over. but the transport secretary, grant shapps, has accused militant union leaders of bringing the country to a standstill. and the rail delivery group, which represents operating companies, said it was urging the aslef leadership to resume talks. there are no winners in rail strikes. the most important thing is we want the trade unions to come to the table and make sure we have meaningful discussions. the industry continues to lose a significant amount of money, with passenger revenues only back at 75% of what they were pre—pandemic. so it is important to look at modernisation. with more strikes planned during august, the trains may be hit and miss. but a summer of disruption for passengers does look set to rumble on. today's story really is a tale of two types of station, those that are completely closed or those like leeds which are open and which have trains running either because some

lines are not on strike or because in some cases there may be managers driving trains. there are no trains at all on southeastern or arriva rail london but on other services there are reduced number of trains on rate anglia, lner, and west midlands included. the advice for passengers who might be planning to journey across different lines, they should check before travel. thank you. police have issued cctv images of a man they want to question over the death of nine—year—old girl who was fatally stabbed in boston in lincolnshire, on thursday. two people previously arrested in connection with lilia valutyte's death have also been released. our reporter phillip norton reports from boston. this is the man police want to talk to in connection with the murder of nine—year—old lilia valutyte. the images were released this morning by lincolnshire police.

the force also confirmed that two people previously arrested in connection with the child's murder have been released without further action. i am urgently appealing for the public�*s help to identify the man in these photographs, who we want to speak to following the death of nine—year—old lilia. as part of our fast—moving murder investigation, we now have cctv images of a man who we need to locate. if you see him, do not approach him but immediately call 999. photos of lilia are among tributes being left near the scene. this is a town that remains in deep shock at the events that took place here in fountain lane on thursday evening. flowers and candles are now being left around various parts

of the town, and now that the cordon has been lifted, they also have been left at the scene where lilia was found with a stab wound. when you see something like that, your legs are shaking. my daughter is seven years old now. my son is three years old. i think everybody at the moment are scared to walk around town. lincolnshire police say officers continue to provide support to lilia's family, as they grieve following their unimaginable loss. philip norton, bbc news, boston. england's women are gearing up for the biggest football match of their careers — preparing to take on germany in tomorrow night's euros final. they arrived to train at their camp in south west london this morning and our reporter matt graveling is there for us now. germany will be strong opponents. what kind of match can we expect? if the nerves have already set in,

this england side are very good at hiding them because they look calm, collected, focused in their last training session before they head to wembley to face germany in the final. it looked like every player was involved in the training session with no injury concerns we are aware of which is essential as the lionesses prepared to take on a team who have won the tournament eight out of the last ten times. while england have never won the euros, they have a manager who has winning with holland, sarina wiegman. i think this will be a tight game. both teams have let in one goal all tournament and the germans are a solid, experienced side. but england are scoring forfun. solid, experienced side. but england are scoring for fun. goals from across the team with eight against norway. and i can watch this alessia russo backheel forever. i think england can go into this final with a lot of confidence. it has been an

incredible tournament for england are more important, a showpiece for the women's game. thank you. let's take a look at some of today's other news. spain has announced a second death from monkeypox, one person has also died in brazil — these are the first known deaths outside africa. there have been more than 20,000 cases worldwide recorded in the current outbreak. last week the world health organization declared monkeypox a �*global health emergency�*. at least 19 people have died, including six children, following flash flooding in the us state of kentucky. hundreds of homes and businesses have been submerged in the flood water and the state's governor says he expects the death toll to rise. president biden has declared a major disaster and ordered federal aid to help. pope francis has said that he might step down if his health deteriorates to the point that he feels he can't

carry out his duties properly. the comments 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 scandal. it's day two of action at the commonwealth games in birmingham with 23 gold medals up for grabs. it's been a successful start for the home nations, especially in the men's wheelchair marathon, with more action expected in the pool and in the velodrome later. in a minute, we'llspeak to our correspondent laura scott who's at the track cycling in east london. but first, we'll cross to jane dougall who's in birmingham for us now. hello. the finish line for the marathon — hello. the finish line for the marathon is _ hello. the finish line for the marathon is in _ hello. the finish line for the marathon is in the _ hello. the finish line for the marathon is in the square i hello. the finish line for the - marathon is in the square behind me and the women's has just finished. earlier, there was heartbreak for

england's david weir in the wheelchair marathon because ten kilometres before the finish he got a puncture and it meant his training partnerjohnboy smith overtook him. he went on to take the gold medal for england but there was no medal for england but there was no medal for the six time paralympic champion david ware who crossed the line with the flat tire because, as he said, where he comes from you never give up. a great result in the women's wheelchair marathon with a silver for eden rainbow—cooper from wheelchair marathon with a silver for eden rainbow—cooperfrom england and a warm reception for adam peaty who won the 100 metres breaststroke heat that takes into the semifinal tonight. that is the first time he has swung competitively since fracturing afoot ten weeks ago. adam peaty grew up not far from birmingham and said he would not have missed this for the world and he would have swum with one for it if needed. a lot at the velodrome where our sports news correspondent

is. there are four gold medals to be won at the velodrome today and i must bring you up to speed with an ongoing issue from the action yesterday in the women's tandem sprint. sophie unwin and her pilot for england finished third but were not awarded bronze medals because there were not enough competing nations for there to be all medal is awarded but some confusion arose because on the big screens it was billed as the bronze medal race and included in the medals table. the athletes held a protest on the podium. borrowing bronze medals from team—mates. they have been fined 200 swiss francs each for that and we understand team england are in discussions with the commonwealth games federation that has just apologise for the distress caused. on the track we have had crashes and photo finishes in the women's individual sprint and there are high hopes for the home nations later.

studio: thank you. that is it. the you are watching bbc news. more on the news. pope francis says he can no longer keep up his busy international travel schedule — and has acknowledged he could retire. 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 scandal. translation: i don't believe i can | travel at the same pace as before| and i believe that at my age and with this limitation, i have to save some energy to be able to serve the church. i think about the possibility of stepping aside. with all honesty, it's not a catastrophe, you can change your pope, it's not a problem. we have just returned to terminal five in rome after a week—long trip to canada with the pope. this is where diplomatic visitors 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 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 an 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 though not a door 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. children's mental health service is

buckling. the commission on young lives found less than a quarter of children referred to specialist services actually started the treatment within the four week waiting target. the government says it is committed to ensuring children get the support they need as early as possible. the chair of the commission of young lives, spoke to the bbc and expand how young people are struggling and what needs to be done to tackle the problem. irate are struggling and what needs to be done to tackle the problem.- done to tackle the problem. we are seeinu done to tackle the problem. we are seeing huge — done to tackle the problem. we are seeing huge demand, _ done to tackle the problem. we are seeing huge demand, rocket - done to tackle the problem. we are i seeing huge demand, rocket boosted by the pandemic and the health system hasn't been able to keep up. despite some expansion. it literally is now buckling. it isn't seeing anywhere near the number of children it needs to be within the timescale, only 23% of children get to be seen within four weeks. this huge amount of referrals coming forward, over 350,000, in one month alone. so it's just not sustainable. we see it in probably every family in the land will know someone, we see it in

classrooms and children struggling with behaviour and being excluded andindeedin with behaviour and being excluded and indeed in some of the tragic headlines. so what we're saying is this is an opportunity, a huge need here, for those candidates that are seeking to be prime minister, 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 it will need £1 billion recovery fund.— saying it will need £1 billion recovery fund. england's first hose--ie recovery fund. england's first hosepipe ban _ recovery fund. england's first hosepipe ban for _ recovery fund. england's first hosepipe ban for the - recovery fund. england's first j hosepipe ban for the summer recovery fund. england's first - hosepipe ban for the summer has been announced. as the country experiences one of its driest years on record. low river flows have forced southern water to in pose for the first ban in a decade.

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. we've had almost no rain injuly, and the outlook for august and possibly the next three months is also warmer and drier than average. so, we need to act now. it is the responsible thing to do. so, anyone who gets their water supply from southern water in hampshire and the isle of wight, that is where this ban applies to. householders in the areas affected won't be able to use hosepipes to water gardens or clean cars, and ponds and swimming pools can't be filled. but what happens if you are caught ignoring the ban? the maximum penalty is up to £1,000. we would expect that if communities see that somebody

is not doing their part, that somebody is likely to let us know. and then, we would obviously reach out and try and encourage that compliance with the temporary use ban. southern water is the first, but may not be the last company to bring in a hosepipe ban this summer. mike apps, otterbourne. let us catch up with the all—important weather. a bit more sunshine this afternoon. the cloud will break in the south for some time. across northern england, part of midlands and north wales, this is where it will stay, quite grey. some outbreaks of rain throughout the day, the odd heavier burst as well. even with the temperatures in the low or mid 20s, 26 or 28 degrees. 32 or 2a across about eastern scotland. overnight, humid night for england and wales, but lots of cloud and outbreak of

rain will develop more widely once again and they
