said he believed 0leksiy vadatursky was deliberately targeted when his home was hit in the southern city of mykolayiv. 0n the main route to the big black sea port of 0desa — mykolayiv has been bombarded frequently by russia — but last night's strike's were sustained and intense. 0ur correspondent andrew harding saw it happen. the end of a punishing night in mykolayiv. the the heaviset bombardment yet for this key front line city a few missiles appear to be hitting deliberate target but mostly this was the usual random russian blitz, cluster bombs and cruise missiles in residential neighbourhoods. mykolayiv hospitals are filling up, the city defender standing firm. i think everybody gets used to the war. we're sad about our victims and injured

people but we are full of will to win and to fight. and that fight is escalating. ukraine has began attacking these strategic bridges to trap russian forces and pave the way for a counter offensive towards the crimean peninsula. but for now many civilians are staying put, queuing stoically for drinking water and somehow living with unbearable risk. how do you get used to this? as shocking as these scenes are the fact is, they've become essentially a daily routine here in mykolayiv out of every night thousands of people go to sleep wondering whether this time the rockets, the missiles, the cluster bombs will hit their building. last night two rockets landed outside this apartment. an air raid siren saved their lives prodding them to move away from the windows.

but 0lga is struggling. how can we survive this, she wonders, we can't afford to move somewhere safer. instead, they patch things up and brace themselves for another unpredictable night in mykolayiv. let's turn to beirut now, where parts of a huge port grain silos which were badly damaged in the deadly 2020 explosion, have collapsed after a long—running fire. video shows a massive cloud of dust after the collapse of the northern block. it's not yet clear if anyone has been injured. the fires are believed to have been caused by fermenting grain — and efforts to fight them proved ineffective. the enormous explosion at the lebanese port two years ago left more than two—hundred people dead and seven thousand injured. let's take you to the philippines now — where the the former president fidel ramos has died. he was ninety—four.

mr ramos became a hero to many filipinos when he split from the autocratic leader ferdinand marcos who was toppled in a popular uprising. emer mccarthy reports. he earned a reputation as one of the countries most effective leaders. fidel ramos nicknamed steady eddie was known for his unflappable character during regular moments of people in philippines. ——upheaval he was the national police chief who helped enforce martial law during the authoritarian rule of president ferdinand marcos in the 1970s and 80s. thousands of people were killed and jailed. but mr ramos to affected and in 1986 was a leading force in the people power revolution which brought down the marcos regime. six years later he was voted in as the new president, oversaw an unusually calm. of politics and economic growth.

during his tenure the economy surged in poverty rates fell nearly 10% through his social reform agenda. in an historical twist to his death coincides with the recent election of marcos his son ferdinand marcos junior as president. in a statement released on sunday he said, our family shares the filipino peoples grief on this sad day, we did not only lose a good leader but also a member of the family. he was 94. joining me now from manila is richard heydarian. he's an academic and author there. he is here to help us understand just how significant fidel ramos his legacy was to the philippines. great to get you on the programme. what is the key thing that you think stands out about mr ramos his legacy? this in

out about mr ramos his legacy? as in all presidencies, _ out about mr ramos his legacy? as in all presidencies, always _ out about mr ramos his legacy? as in all presidencies, always a _ out about mr ramos his legacy? is “i all presidencies, always a questions of a mixed bag. all presidencies, always a questions ofa mixed bag. ramos all presidencies, always a questions of a mixed bag. ramos has had his fair share of detractors, they are pointed out that his role in the operation of the security establishment during the marco suzerain, more recently he endorsed former filipino populace in the 26 elections for that many people pointed out that he's aggressive privatisation of state owned enterprises in the 1990s actually help concentrate economic resources in the hands of a few family conglomerates. there are a lot of reasons for people to question whether his legacy was perfect. at the same time, in many ways he's been the most effective and the most competent president we have had at least in the past half—century people forget that his election in 1990 essentially prevented the collapse of the philippines democratic regime for the 1992 was the darkest hour for filipino democracy for the up previous

president corazon aquino had survived half a dozen coup d'etat so that they were insurgencies all over the country as much as people were shocked at the return of marcos ishea let's not forget that in 1992 form of first lady a of marcos got almost a third of the vote. ramos by leaving that presidency and stabilising the country gave democracy a chance. you stabilising the country gave democracy a chance. you alluded to some of the — democracy a chance. you alluded to some of the more _ democracy a chance. you alluded to some of the more controversial - democracy a chance. you alluded to l some of the more controversial parts of the time when he was in politics in political life i wonder whether you think people in the philippines are able to forgive him for his role in martial law, for instance, thousands were jailed, thousands were dyed thousands of filipinos remember that or do they remember a different figure? i remember that or do they remember a different figure?— different figure? i think if there is something — different figure? i think if there is something that _ different figure? i think if there is something that makes - different figure? i think if there | is something that makes ramos special aside from his swagger workaholic, a lifestyle, he was

fully dedicated is also his redemptive politics, as mentioned earlier yes he was part of the marcos regime but that defection for that regime paved the way for the power. had he not effected from the marcos regime and really go by the way it is now the legal adviser for marcosjunior, having not defected i don't think the people would've had at least a 1986 without even under duterte, even though he endorsed duterte, even though he endorsed duterte, he criticised duterte his decision to bury the remains of marcos in the cemetery for national aerials he questions his anti—western calling for foreign policy for the peak questioned and be violence which duterte conducted his drug war, in fairness if there is something that makes ramos special is the redemptive element of his legacy and his ability to have the humility and wisdom to realise he made have it made certain mistakes and then he turned on his

allies who are recently autocratic. thank you for the fascinating discussion on fidel ramos his legacy. if you want to get in touch with me i'm on twitter — @bbckarishma i know which story i'll be tweeting about if i were at home. you're watching newday on the bbc. still to come on the programme... a look at the complex legacy of the former philippine president the former starfrom six the former star from six star trek who has died at age 80.

football history is made as england beat germany 2—1 in the women's european championship final. it's a first major football title for any england national side for nearly sixty years. germany's women had never lost before in a final. turning to the us now — search and rescue crews continue to look for survivors in the state of kentucky, where record flooding has wiped out entire communities. at least 26 people have died — although the state's governor warned the number could rise. president biden has declared the floods "a major disaster" — and there's a warning of more rain today. 0ur north america correspondent, peter bowes, has the latest. catastrophic scenes in eastern kentucky, muddy waters as far as the eye can see. these narrow valleys are prone to flooding but never this far. the rain was torrential. some

to asia now, where us house speaker nancy pelosi is visiting this week. her itinerary will include stops in singapore, malaysia, japan and south korea, but there is no mention of a stopover in taiwan — which has, over the past week, been a huge source of tension for the united states and china. for more on this i am joined now by alexander huang, professor at tamkang university. great to get you on the programme. i want to start by asking you what you make of the official schedule, now that we've got the details and taiwan doesn't appear to be on the list. a lot of chatter last week that she would be headed to taiwan. what do you think this signals? to what do you think this signals? trr my acknowledge it was the original intention that speaker pelosi will visit taipei. in the past week or so

there was no direct communication, no further messaging coming out from washington. so we don't know until yesterday that when the speakers office released the official travel plan for them and taiwan is not included. 0f plan for them and taiwan is not included. of course it shows a sign of ease but i believe that both beijing and taipei are still watching closely and get everything prepared. should there be any chance that the speakers plan would have a sudden decision or travel plan change. we are very vigilant in watching her trip develop. fin change. we are very vigilant in watching her trip develop. on that if indeed there _ watching her trip develop. on that if indeed there is _ watching her trip develop. on that if indeed there is an _ watching her trip develop. on that if indeed there is an unofficial- if indeed there is an unofficial trip to taiwan, how do you think the chinese might react?—

chinese might react? chinese had said they will _ chinese might react? chinese had said they will react _ chinese might react? chinese had said they will react fiercely, - said they will react fiercely, forcefully. 0ur calculation is it could be in diplomatic form, so far their military exercises and known drills are far away from taiwan. and on a smaller scale. we believe that if we can consult our past experience, there would be in incursions with large, various types of people's liberation army air force plans. we probably would expect that they will have a incursion of the median line, which will put taiwan on high alert. there could be other diplomatic measures but we don't know yet. it would be “p but we don't know yet. it would be up to beijing to determine. taiwan is fully prepared, we welcome

speakers visit but we hope that china will not react to taiwan when they are angry at the united states. briefly, given all that you describe, what is the reaction of people in taiwan to that potential visit given that it was talked about so much last week was back naturally people are... so much last week was back naturally people are- - -— people are... accepted tv news pendants. _ people are... accepted tv news pendants, most _ people are... accepted tv news pendants, most of _ people are... accepted tv news pendants, most of the - people are... accepted tv news pendants, most of the people i people are... accepted tv news| pendants, most of the people on people are... accepted tv news - pendants, most of the people on the street are not talking about this issue taiwan has the local election this year and people are worried about the economy. i do not sense any urgent or panic in taipei. i see. thank you so much forjoining us on the programme.

that brings ups to the end of newsday. thanks so much forjoining me. hello. the rain that fell for some of us in the last couple of days ofjuly doesn't really change the fact that it was a very dry month for many parts of the uk, but especially down towards the south. so what about the first week of august? well, this chart shows the rainfall we're expecting to accumulate over the coming days. the darker colours show where the wettest weather will be up to the northwest, the lighter colours suggesting that very little rain will fall in the south, where we really do need it. for monday morning, this ridge of high pressure in charge of our weather, so a mainly dry start to the week. one or two sharp showers from this cloud that'll be sitting in place across parts of eastern england — that should tend to clear. then lots of sunshine, but then we see cloud rolling in from the west, bringing rain into northern ireland around lunchtime, and then into southwest scotland,

west wales, far south west of england, across the isle of man, maybe into northwest england later in the day. those are your afternoon temperatures — 18 or 19 for glasgow and belfast, 27 degrees in london. still some warmth and humidity around. for the commonwealth games in birmingham and the west midlands — some spells of sunshine, temperatures of 2a or 25 degrees. but as we go through monday night, we will see this area of cloud rolling its way eastwards with some outbreaks of rain, some quite heavy rain in places — particularly for north wales, northwest england — a lot of mist and murk, some low cloud on what will be a very warm and muggy night, actually — 1a to 18 degrees as we begin tuesday morning. for tuesday, a lot of cloud and some rain around first thing. some particularly heavy bursts for northern england, wales, parts of the midlands and east anglia. precious little of that rain getting down into the south, where we really do need some. by the afternoon, signs of something a little brighter, although western coasts of wales, the south west, likely to stay cloudy and drizzly. a few showers in the north west of scotland. quite a windy day — those are the average wind speeds, the gusts will be

stronger than that. but that wind coming from quite a warm direction, still high levels of humidity — 23 for aberdeen, 27 for london. bit of a change, though, through tuesday night into wednesday as this cold front sinks its way southeastwards. behind that, we change the wind direction, we get into northwesterly winds, and that will start to introduce cooler conditions — fresher conditions, too, across the uk by day and by night. it will turn mostly dry aside from just a few showers. 17 in belfast by friday, 2a in london.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel shabi an author and journalist and kate maltby a columnist from the i newspaper. tomorrow's front pages, starting with, all the front pages feature the victorious england lionesses — the times says they've brought football home. the express also claims the game is "home" and says the women's team have ended 56 years of hurt for england. and the metro also picks up on the same line from england's "three lions" anthem. the guardian calls the team "game changers" and says their victory is the start of a new journey for women's football in this country. while the mail highlights chloe kelly's delighted shirt—off celebrations after her winning goal. the telegraph also features the lionesses on its front page; but it leads with rishi sunak�*s pledge to cut 4p off income tax by the end of the next parliament. the i says senior tories are pleading with sunak and his rival liz truss to stop trashing the party's record in government. and the ft reports that european governments are easing sanctions on russia because of their fears over

inflation and energy pruces.
