good evening. there's yet more disruption on britain's railways this weekend as train drivers who are members of the aslef union walk out, in a row over pay. drivers from seven rail companies are involved in the strike. it's the second this week affecting passengers, with more strikes scheduled for dates in august. our correspondent, judith 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. so we were planning to go to brighton and now we'll have to find an alternative. probably we'll have to take the bus or something. not right, because i don't go to london very often and i've got a lunch date with my daughter and a friend. but not all stations are closed. though around 5,000 train drivers at seven companies have walked out over pay on a busy sporting weekend, not all lines are affected. at leeds station, northern rail services are running, but the lner east coast main line is severely reduced. normally, there are two trains every hour that run from here in leeds to london. today, there was one which left first thing this morning, but that's it. the next one won't go to the capital until tomorrow morning. the train drivers union aslef says members like these at leeds haven't 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's the magic figure? what are you looking for here? there is no figure. what we're saying is we want a suitable pay offer. look, let's be clear. it's the 14 companies that are controlled by the government that are in a blockage. elsewhere in the industry, we've agreed deals with other companies ranging from about 4.5% up to 8%~ _ what we're 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's 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. 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's really 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. judith moritz, bbc news. a 22—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a nine—year—old girl in boston. it comes after lincolnshire police released cctv images of a man they wanted to question over the killing of lilia valutyte who was fatally stabbed in the town centre on thursday. two people previously arrested have been released. 0ur reporter, phillip norton, reports from boston. a kind, caring adorable little girl, nine—year—old lilia valutyte, a schoolgirl said to be just playing on the street when she was allegedly murdered. her classmates and friends among those leaving flowers for her today. i among those leaving flowers for her toda . , ., ., . , today. i used to dance with her but she is really _ today. i used to dance with her but she is really kind _ today. i used to dance with her but she is really kind and _ today. i used to dance with her but she is really kind and this -

there have been more than 20,000 cases recorded worldwide in the current outbreak. last week the world health organization declared monkeypox a �*global health emergency�*. three teenagers have been killed, and a fourth seriously injured after a car crash in north yorkshire. the crash happened in bedale at around iipm last night and three male passengers, who were 17 and 18 years old died. the 18—year—old driver is in a serious condition in hospital. north yorkshire police are appealing for information. at least 25 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. it's day 2 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. 0ur sports correspondent nesta mcgregor has been following it all. the line—up for the t53 and t54 wheelchair marathon included david weir and johnboy smith, who just happen to be training partners. early on, it was weir — a six—time paralympic and world champion — who led, until disaster struck. dave weir's just punctured. yeah, ijust heard something. with more than six miles to go, the 43—year—old as deflated as that back tyre and would finish seventh. it may have been some consolation that it was smith who went on to claim gold. whoever come up with that course, i seriously might take them to court and sue them. i don't know what they were thinking, but that was... that was so, so hard. in the women's wheelchair race, australia's madison de rozario defended her title, and silver and bronze went

to england's eden rainbow—cooper and her team—mate shelly 0xley—woods. shortly after the wheelchair events ended, it was the turn of the man's marathon. and speaking of turn, here's the moment the race leader, victor kiplangat, took a wrong one... no, no, no! he's gone the wrong side of the median. it's a testament to how good the ugandan athlete is that he still eased to victory injust over two hours, ten minutes. for more than eight years, adam peaty�*s been unbeatable in the 100 meter breaststroke. that could face its toughest test at these games. peaty did win his heat to qualify for the semifinals, but having broken his footjust ten weeks ago, is he 100% fit? also in the pool, the 200 metre freestyle has been dubbed the race not to miss. tonight, england's tom dean and scotland's duncan scott go head—to—head, having wrapped up the two fastest times in qualifying. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. that's it from us. there's more throughout the evening

on the bbc news channel. we're back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye.

this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. let's get more on the breaking news in the last hour. police in lincolnshire says they've arrested a 22—year—old man on suspicion of murdering nine—year—old lilia valutyte in boston. she was found with stab wounds on thursday evening. a short time ago, martyn parker from lincolnshire police gave this update. following our appeal on the release of the cctv, i can confirm that we have arrested a 22—year—old man on suspicion of murder. he is now in police custody. 0fficers detained the man in the boston central park area around 2:45pm today. the arrest follows a combination

of intelligence and information supplied by several members of the public. i would like to thank everyone for their assistance as we continue our investigation. we are still encouraging anyone with information to contact us and you can do so via the major incident portal, of which the details are on our website. once again, i would like to personally thank you for the support you have shown, from members of the public and from the media. your support is very much appreciated. i anticipate that there are several questions that you would like to ask of me. we are in a very sensitive stage of our investigation, having just arrested a 22—year—old male. please allow my officers the time and space to conduct their inquiries and continue the investigation.

chief superintendent martyn parker from licking —— lincolnshire police. tory leadership contenders liz truss and rishi sunak continue to set out their stalls on the campaign trail today. 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. more from our political correspondent, ione wells. the general consensus from both sides is that either she would need some big blow to the campaign or rishi sunak would need an incredible boost, really, to bring him back at this stage. now, in terms of, as you say, the endorsement that we've had last night from tom tugendhat and why

that's significant — perhaps less so the endorsement itself, remember that at the moment it's not really mps that matter right now, it's the tory party members. but i think why it's significant is the fact that he's decided to come out now and support her shows that people like him think that's where the momentum is. it's with liz truss. if you want a job in a future government, that's where mps feel is the sort of most likely camp at the moment for them. i think, speaking to some liz truss allies last night, their message ahead of ballots going out to tory mps on monday was certainly one of optimism. they're saying they're not complacent but they feel like everything is pointing in the right direction from them. meanwhile, there has been a bit of pessimism, from some sunak allies, with some telling me they feel like he hasn't yet had that sort of real moment of optimism that has cut through. he hasn't sort of landed any particular big blows in the last couple of days that have helped boost his position in the polls. so i think certainly, going into those ballots coming out on monday, as you say, liz truss is being seen as the frontrunner. we have seen a couple of big adjustments, notably from ben wallace,

the defence secretary, who came out in support of liz truss, now from tom tugendhat. there are multiple factors at play here. 0n the one hand, for these mps coming out and endorsing candidates, this is part of their throwing their weight behind somebody who they feel would be a leader that they can get behind policy—wise, but also that they may be able to have a position in government with as well. that is playing into this. i think what it does for the campaign, it is a bit of a branding exercise at this point, it is showing that momentum, driving behind certain campaigns, and as i said before, it's not necessarily a case of actually needing that mp support right now, but a message to the members that they can unite different figures from across the political spectrum, with tom tugendhat being a notable example here. he is not exactly usually aligned with foreign secretary liz truss as he's more on the centrist spectrum, he is more of a centrist lead in the mp5, but one of his key messages when he backed her was that he feels that she is one that can unite the party. 0ur political correspondent ione wells. young people are regularly

going without food as they struggle with the cost of living, according to research by the charity centrepoint. it's calling for a rise in universal credit and housing benefits for under—25s, who currently receive lower rates. michael buchanan has spoken to people who are struggling to cope with rising costs. they are the faces of the future, but they are struggling to live in the present. ashanti is learning to budget. the 19—year—old recently moved into a flat after spending time in a homeless shelter. i have a book to, like, write down things that i have to pay, and i put my rent as the first thing and then i move on to gas and electric. and i kind of leave the food shopping until last, because i feel like i can work around it. leaving food to last, however, means ashanti has to be careful about what she buys. food has gotten quite expensive. but at times, her thriftiness isn't enough. if i run out of money, i just have to go without food. how long have you gone without food?

four days at most. four days. a difficult childhood and health problems mean the teenager currently relies on universal credit, for which she gets a quarter less than someone aged 25 or older. there are some young people in tougher situations than older people who genuinely can't afford to get by in life. with seemingly everything on the high street getting more expensive, every penny counts, which is why some young people feel hard done by. universal credit gives a single person under 25 a basic income of £265.31 per month, while someone over 25 gets almost £335. if you're in work, you get less than £5 per hour if you are aged 16 or 17, rising to £9.50 per hour when someone reaches 23. i get drained and depressed because i'm working such long hours just to try and help my family.

tasha has a job working in a cafe. the 24—year—old recently got a promotion and is now earning slightly more than minimum wage, but despite working full—time and extra hours, she is finding it difficult to make ends meet. i moved jobs to get better wages because i knew i moved jobs to get better wages because i knew the prices were going up, so i needed a job that could help support me and my family. but the prices went up higher than i thought. my wage doesn't even... it doesn't touch most of our bills. tasha and her partner have a two—year—old daughter. to help with rising costs, they have had to make changes to the types of food they are eating. we used to buy loads of fresh food and make fresh food constantly. now we're having to get freezer food because it's cheaper, it lasts longer. but ideally i want her to have fresh food, because it's more nutritious for her, but sometimes i can't even do that for her. like many other people at the moment,

tasha is making personal sacrifices to put her child first. some nights, i don't even have any dinner. thankfully at my work, we get free meals, so i'll eat at work. but sometimes i'll go to bed with my stomach rumbling, and it's like, i want to eat but i can't, because that's my daughter. even though i'm trying everything, it feels like i'm failing as a mother. if i could walk into tesco and say to the cashier, l "hi, i'm under the age of 25, that means my shop should i cost less," they're just going to laugh at you. | casey armstrong, a budding astrophysicist, has just £70 to spend on food each month after paying other bills. one thing that i do quite often is, as long as you've got _ a big box of cereal, - it can be quite cheap tojust go and get some milk and then if needs be, | you've got a breakfast and a dinner there. i it's obviously not very nutritional, but at least it's something - to eat if you run out.

the 22—year—old, who is a care leaver, says she can go three days onjust cereal alone, occasionally twice a month. health conditions prevent her from working, but she is hoping to go to university. i think it's one of those where - focusing on the future keeps me out of the present sometimes. it's quite ridiculous. i will be on more money- as a university student than i have been on universal credit. casey, ashanti and tasha should benefit from the £1,200 the government is giving the poorest households this year, but each craves a higher regular income to ease their stress. 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. let's have a listen. 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. austen ivereigh is a papal biographer and commentator, having written biographies of pope francis and analysis of his work. he says the suggestion of him retiring in the future isn't a big surprise. i think it is a decision that he will take at some point. he said from the very beginning of his pontificate, back in 2013, 2014, that pope benedict — his predecessor — had opened that door, and he used the same expression just now on the papal plane, meaning that from now on, every pope must consider, if there is a moment when they feel too frail to carry on, where they're simply not able to do the job as the job nowadays demands, then they are open now to consider that. and that is what has changed.

the two things that have shifted in the last few decades, we live longer, so the idea of dying in office, we can conceive now being in office for a long time but in a frail state, which i think you couldn't a few decades ago. and the other thing is the intense demands on the contemporary papal role. i mean, the pope hasjust got back from a gruelling trip to canada, where he went edmonton, quebec, he was up in the arctic circle with the inuit people. i mean, that kind of highly, intensely demanding trip is normal now for contemporary popes. and he's finding it harder, and that's what he was saying on the plane — "i have to cut back, and, yes, that door is open when i'm ready to take it, when the time is right." papal biographer austen ivereigh. 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 0tterbourne 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 for 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's 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 isn't 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, 0tterbourne. a ticket holder has come forward to claim the us megamillions $1.28 billion jackpot. all we know is that the ticket was bought in the state of illinois. it's not quite the biggestjackpot in the history of lotteries — that stands at over $1.5 billion. and in case you're wondering — when you convert it to pounds sterling, it's still just over a billion. even with the terrible exchange rate that we have got at the moment!

let's take a look at the weather forecast with louise. hello there. despite quite a warm, humid feel for many today, blue sky and sunshine were quite precious, and those that we did get gradually clouded over through the afternoon, just as with worthing in west sussex — the reason being quite a lot of cloud generally across the country, and some of that has been producing some rain today. now, if we take a zoom out towards the atlantic, you can see there's another pulse of cloud starting to push in, and that will bring yet more rain through the night tonight, some of it heavy as it moves across west—facing coasts of wales and into north—west england, but it will weaken a touch as it pushes its way steadily eastwards. still a level of uncertainty as to whether we could see some rain to the southeast corner, where we are starting to get pretty desperate now. here, it stays quite muggy through the night, fresher with clearer skies in scotland. here, we'll start off with early morning sunshine. 0ne pulse of wet weather will slowly start to ease away. fair amount of cloud generally across england and wales and still the risk of a few scattered showers

into the afternoon. perhaps not feeling quite as muggy once that rain has cleared through and the frontal system's allowing some fresher air behind, but still those temperatures on the warm side — 26 degrees in the southeast. noticeably fresher further north, a maximum of 19 or 20. now, that doesn't bode well for the triathlon. maybe a little bit of light, patchy rain around first thing. that might suit some of the athletes, but as the day goes on, it'll dry, brighten and warm up as well. and it's a similar story, actually, for the final of the euros at wembley stadium. if we see that much in the way of significant rain, it really will be quite a miracle. i think it'll ease away and skies brighten. now, as we move into monday, we start with a good deal of fine, dry weather, but it's not expected to last as this weather front will gradually start to encroach from the west. it will bring a freshening wind, it will bring more cloud and, eventually, it will bring some rain,

but it's going to take its time in doing so, probably arriving into northern ireland and western fringes by the end of the afternoon. so the best of the sunshine to the east of the pennines and that's for the best of the warmth to likely to be once again. 25 or 26 celsius the high. and then that opens the doors for something a little breezier and cooler into the far northwest to start the week. it stays dry, settled, sunny and still pretty warm down to the south throughout much of the week ahead.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines: police investigating the death of 9—year—old lilia valutyte have arrested a 22—year—old man on suspicion of murder. widespread disruption to train services throughout the uk as drivers from seven operators walk out over pay. the british ambassador to ukraine

has called for an investigation into an explosion at a prison in the country's east — in which dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war were killed. and 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. now on bbc news. it's time for the film review hello, and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. and taking us through this week's cinema releases is, as ever, mark kermode — hi, mark. so we have an interesting week. we have thirteen lives, which is a real—life rescue drama. we have dc league of super—pets — i mean, pretty much does what it says on the tin.
