on women considering having abortions in the us from texas, a state with one of the most restrictive abortion laws. when we deny someone the right to access abortion, the alternative for that person becomes a forced pregnancy. after dominating womens�* tennis for a quarter of a century, 23—time grand slam champion serena williams suggests she's planning to retire. the us humane society carryies out the largest ever masss dog rescue, freeing around 4,000 beagles before they could be sold to drug experiment labs and rescuers, trying to save the life of a beluga whale stranded in the river seine, have moved it to a saltwater river basin close to the sea.

hello and welcome. a day after donald trump denounced the unprecedented search of his florida home by fbi agents, he has released a campaign—style video that analysts say is the strongest hint yet that he intends to run for president in 202a. several leading republicans havejoined in his accusations that he was the victim of a democrat—led witch—hunt. 0ur north america correspondent, john sudworth, reports from washington. cars beeping their horns. save america! the trump bandwagon is fuelled by conspiracy, and news of the search brought supporters to his florida resort even more convinced of their theories of stolen elections and deep—state plots. you feel like you might be in venezuela or china, or russia. we feel the fbi's doing a political hitjob

on president trump. it's a two—tiered justice system, so we're out here just gathering and showing support. the american people see the state of this country. | they see what's going on. so, yeah, this is all. about stopping trump from running in 2024. they are views that match the former president's own. in a statement, he spoke of his home being under siege, raided and occupied by the fbi, describing the action as "prosecutorial misconduct" and the weaponisation of the justice system in an attempt to stop him run for president again. there's been no comment from the fbi here, but their search is thought to relate to official records and the possibility that mr trump, who's already been forced to return some documents since leaving office, may have squirrelled away more. but it's worth pointing out, of course, that to execute that search, they will have needed to convince and obtain a warrant from a federaljudge. now, the authorisation did not come from the department ofjustice.

it came from a lifetime appointee, federaljudge, a third branch of government, and that's the huge difference, and that's the checks and balances that we have in our united states constitution that are so important. trump: we are a nation in decline... but within hours of the search, donald trump released this video. but soon, we will have greatness again. he hasn't yet officially announced a 2024 presidential bid, but this is now a man increasingly looking to be in full campaign mode. we need back—up! as the investigations into his attempt to cling to power continue, there's a danger here for his opponents. the more serious the congressional committees or criminal inquiries become, the more republicans can claim he's being persecuted. the fbi, when it comes to trump, has lost their way. this unending desire to destroy trump and his family is frustrating. the legal implications are farfrom certain. even if he's charged,

it may not bar him from office. the political implications seem clearer, though. if anything, it's galvanising him to run again. john sudworth, bbc news, washington. gary abernathy is a contributing columnist for the washington post. and he's worked in republican party politics in the past. he believes this raid has galvanised donald trump and his supporters. i wonder if it didn't get out of control as far as the d0] is concerned. this was announced yesterday by donald trump, this whole raid, no—one knew anything about it all day long until around seven o'clock last night, something like that. trump put out a press release announcing the raid. he is in new york, he is not even in florida. you have to think in some way he revels in this. in fact, i even go to wondering, he knew they wanted these documents, he knew he had turned over some documents, but he knew

they wanted others. and he didn't give them to them knowing that they would eventually come and take them, and knowing when they did he got to play the aggrieved party again. let's get some of the day's other news: vote counting is under way in kenya where a new president is being chosen to succeed uhuru kenyatta. polling day was largely peaceful. however, voting was suspended in one constituency in the volatile northern region. kenyans are eagerly waiting to find out if the next leader is the former prime minister, raila 0dinga or the vic—president, william ruto. a grand jury in the us state of mississippi has chosen not to indict a white woman whose accusations of assault against a 14—year—old black boy led to his brutal murder nearly 70 years ago. the lynching of the teenager emmett till galvanised the civil rights movement in the united states in the 1950s. police in new mexico have arrested a primary suspect

in the killings of four muslim men. muhammad syed was held on monday and is charged with the murders of two of the men. police say they are working with investigators to charge the afghan with the other two deaths. president zelensky says ukraine will eventually recapture the russian—controlled crimean peninsula but is not taking responsibility for a series of explosions that killed at least one person there on tuesday. moscow says the blasts came from detonations of stored ammunition at a russian military airfield in western crimea, close to seaside resorts, as mark lobel reports. explosions. running for cover in russian—controlled crimea. children nervously urging their mother to flee the area. homes were hit in novofedorivka, which neighbours a russian airbase where the blasts occurred.

translation: when the explosions happened - we were hiding behind garages. we didn't know where to go. we abandoned the apartment immediately, ran away, just grabbed water and that was it. visiting the airbase, the head of the russian appointed regional administration said one person was killed. translation: the situation is under control. _ only the houses next to the military airfield will be evacuated. we will not leave anyone without help. russia says ammunition was detonated, but there are suggestions supporters of ukraine may have caused the blast. ukraine's military sarcastically reminded russia on facebook of its fire safety rules and the ban of smoking in unsettled places. but an advisor to ukraine's president flatly denied responsibility, though his desire to retake the peninsular remains.

translation: this russian war against ukraine, - in a free europe, started in crimea and has to end in crimea, with his liberation. it is impossible to say when it will happen, but we are getting there. many fear the consequences of ukrainian attack in crimea would be severe. over the past two months, russia has accused ukraine of firing on black sea oil drilling platforms in crimean waters, and of a drone attack on their naval facility in sebastopol. if this latest incident was found to have been a ukrainian attack, it would be deemed a significant escalation in an already bitter war. mark lobel, bbc news. women considering having abortion have been running out of options since the united states supreme court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion injune. it ended a half—century old ruling which enshrined

from the bbc sport centre. serena williams has hinted that she could retire from tennis, after the us open later this month. the 23—time grand slam winner's comments in vogue magazine and on social media said she was evolving away from the game. joe wilson has more. do you remember wimbledon late—night, latejune, first round 7 she's done it. as harmony tan celebrated, it was the clearest evidence yet that serena williams can't go on forever. in her own way she is now reaching that conclusion, with her own words and her own sense of humour. i don't know, i'm getting closer to the light. laughter yeah, so that's like lately that's been... ..that�*s been it for me. i can't wait to get to that light. reporter: i know you're joking... . i'm notjoking! ok, so explain to me what the light is to you, what the light represents. freedom. freedom to appear on the cover of vogue, for example, where serena williams says she will be evolving away from tennis

after the us open, which starts this month. she can't yet bear to use the word "retire". well, she's been with us for so long. serena williams secured her first grand slam singles title in the 1990s, she's won 23 in total, she may now end her playing days one behind the the all—time record of margaret court. but serena williams has transformed the perception and execution of her sport and that is a career. joe wilson, bbc news. williams is preparing for this month's us open by playing at the canadian open in toronto, she won her first round match, as did the defending champion camila giorgi who's also through to the second round. the italian world number 29 beat britain's emma raducanu in straight sets. raducanu is the ninth seed in toronto, and hasn't looked in good form recently, ahead of her us open title defence. giorgi won the first set on a tie break, before taking the second 6—2.

in the men's singles in montreal, there was an early exit for local favourite denis shapovalov,who was beaten by australia's alex de minaur. there's just one place between them in the world rankings, and that was reflected in a very tight match which de minaur won in two hard—fought sets. he came through 7—5, 7—5, and plays the number 16 seed grigor dimitrov next. and later on wednesday, the winners of the european champions league and europa league go head to head in the super cup. real madrid against eintracht frankfurt, in helsinki. frankfurt's bundesliga season got off to a dreadful start, hammered by bayern munich. but real madrid will see this as a good chance to start their la liga campaign well. the spanish champions and are looking to win the super cup for a fifth time, and want to avenge their 2018 loss to rivals atletico madrid.

every competition is important, we remember our loss against atletico. we don't want that feeling again. we are here to win and will give everything tomorrow and hopefully to start the season in the best possible way by winning the trophy. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, gavin ramjaun, and the rest of the sport team, we'll see you next time. will indeed, but that isn't all the sport. let's linger longer on the plans by serena williams to retire. and we can speak now to craig gabriel, an international tennis commentator who has worked with serena. hejoins us now from sydney. you worked with her as recently as eight years ago. what do you make of the news?

i'm not surprised because at wimbledon i went on the record and say that us open would be her last tournament, and i make that claim to australian radio. now she has pretty much revealed that in this spread that she has written. do you think — sorry to interrupt, but do you think she made that decision after losing that first round game at wimbledon? because i watch that and it was a hard watch. it was, just like last year was at wimbledon for her when she injured herself in the first round and didn't play for pretty much another year. you know, it doesn't surprise me at all. i don't know if it came specifically after that match, i think it has been developing over the past three months. at wimbledon i actually put the point or question to her, how much she enjoyed, or how much more is she enjoying her non—

4,000 beagle dogs and puppies from being sold to laboratories for drug experimentation. an investigation into evigo rms, the company running the facility, found several breaches of animal welfare laws, including overcrowding and starvation. 0livia 0tigbah reports. a wide yawn perhaps signifying relief after a long day of being rescued. life certainly hasn't been squeaky toys and cuddles for these beagles. they were destined to be sold to laboratories for drug experiments. us humane society is leading the operation. 4,000's a big number, and it's going to take 60 days to get all of these animals out, and working with our shelter and rescue partners across the country, working with them to get these dogs into — eventually into an ever loving home. in may, the us department ofjustice sued evigo rms, a dog breeding facility in cumberland, virginia, citing animal welfare violations. good girl.

government inspectors found beagles being starved, locked in cages and even killed. republican state senator bill stanley has been involved in the rescue effort. back in 2019, we discovered that there was a place in cumberland county that was breeding beagles, beautiful beagle dogs for experimentation. i tried to shut them down in 2019 but was not successful. but over the years, we never stop fighting. now away from danger, the task begins to find 4,000 puppies their forever home. 0livia 0tigbah, bbc news. you know what you want one column are forever home for one of those gorgeous dogs. a beluga whale that swam up the seine river in northern france has been removed from the water in a rescue operation. the 800—kilo whale was lifted from the river using a crane and net, and hoisted onto a barge. the beluga was spotted a week

ago and its health has deteriorated after it failed to eat. it's under the close care of a dozen veterinarians. let's hope it can make it through. see you soon. 0ur spell of largely dry and increasingly hot weather is set to continue for the rest of this week. over the next few days, we see those heatwave conditions building and hardly any rain in the forecast. just the far north—west of scotland, where we see a weather front close by, we see a little bit of rain, but for the rest of us, high pressure dominates. as that high pressure shifts its way slightly more towards the east, that will draw in this really hot air from the near continent, so particularly by the time we get to thursday and friday, we'll see those temperatures soaring, particularly across a good part of england and wales. but temperatures to start your wednesday morning between about 11 to 15 in our towns and cities, a touch lower in the countryside first thing. lots of hot sunshine on the cards for wednesday, that weather front bringing a bit more cloud to the far

north—west, bit of rain for the western isles, perhaps. but temperatures in england, scotland and northern ireland in the mid—20s, but down towards the south and south—east, 30, 31 degrees pretty widely. and then, from thursday onwards, that's when that amber extreme heat warning kicks in across a good part of england and into eastern wales as well. but wherever you are, you can be feeling the heat. some disruption due to the those high temperatures in terms of health problems, potentially transport problems as well. so, thursday, another hot, dry day away from the north—west of scotland, and temperatures widely in the mid—to—high 20s in the north, mid—30s in the south. 34 degrees, possibly 35 degrees on thursday, could be even a degree or so hotter than that as we head on into friday. again, a bit more cloud and rain for the western isles, highlands, northern isles as well where it's a little bit cooler, but most of us baking in that hot sunshine, so the mid—20s to mid—30s during the course of friday. if we zoom into the hottest spots — probably across parts of central and southern england, just into wales as well — somewhere here could well see 36 degrees on friday. and then looking towards the weekend, perhaps even

a degree or so hotter than that into saturday. so, warm sunshine once again lasting for many of us through the course of the weekend. we are hopeful that things will start to change a little bit later on sunday, particularly overnight and into monday. a few thunderstorms developing across france, which could really do with the rainfall, and then they look like they'll develop more widely across the uk, but still quite a lot of uncertainty at this stage about exactly when and if those thunderstorms are coming. but we're hopeful that, into next week, things will start to turn cooler with an increasing chance of rain. bye— bye.
