# up in space, man since we last spoke, the announcement has come out that eurovision is coming to the uk next year. how do you feel about that? it's really exciting that it's on home soil, but really also important to remember why it's being held here, and the responsibility that we have to throw the best party that shows off and celebrates all of the beauty and rich history of ukrainian culture. and we don't know exactly where it's going to be yet. yeah. what qualities do you think the host city needs to have? the uk, one of the largest fan bases of eurovision in the world. we've still held that hope and that faith and that belief. it is really something that we should all be really getting excited about. what a wonderful thing to share together. well, listen, you've got an album to finish. yes. let me let you go. # you got, you got somebody who loves ya. somebody who loves you.

cheering. time for a look at the weather. here's helen willetts. some beautiful weather watchers last night. as you can see from the skies, these are from highlands scotland but it's a strong our rowrah at the moment so if we get clear skies we may see it. towards the north we have that coming in to parts of scotland and perhaps a bit further south as well. we do have cloudier skies here, you see at the moment, on that weather front. lots of showers and still the remnants of the overnight rain, pacific oceany rain in the south. between it, sow good spells of sunshine and we have lost the humidity. so while we have a blustery breeze and showers continuing across scotland, northern ireland, they tend to ease, temperatures aren't quite as high, as they were last night, because we have lost the humidity. sorry,

yesterday, but it feels pleasant out there. we should see evening sunshine as the showers fade away, so an opportunity to witness the northern lights in the north but not for long, because after midnight more rain marches in, we could have gales for the hebrides overnight tonight. but further south ii to 13 still tonight. but further south 11 to 13 still in the towns and cities be the humidity has gone, it will be more comfortable for sleeping. spells of sunshine first thing here, our rain band quite active for initially so there will be some rain in scotland, initially northern ireland, it moves out of the way, it is blown out of the way on that wind, into parts of northern england and it looks heavy. there could be rumbles of thinned there. just a scattering of showers, more sunshine coming through for scotland and northern ireland. and again, it will feel more pleasant n that sunshine, despite the breeze, temperatures round about average for the time of year, back down where they should be. sunday, second part of the weekend, it looks drier across the northern half of country for scotland, northern ireland and northern england. instead we have

more cloud, misty low cloud and the progression of rain through the day, a bit of uncertainty on that so stay tuned if you have plan, temperatures on a par of those with saturday. starting to pick up the hue myty, and many parts could have a dose of rain as we go through into sunday night, into monday morning. it looks as if we could see probably about 10ml, so not a huge amount as we need, but enough to water the gardens and some places could see more, and it remains unsettled as we move into the new week, butjust a reminder, we have got a strong northern lights, you might get the chance to see it if you are in the north. i will have a look. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me ,

good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. england have already lost two wickets in their second innings at lords against south africa on day three of the first test. opener zak crawley went for just 13. he was lbw off the bowling of keshav maharaj. and he got ollie pope the same way — lbw forjust 5. south africa finished their first innings on 326 after england took three wickets this morning. a fantastic one—handed catch from stuart broad saw kagiso rabada at lunch, england are 38—2, they trail by 123. let's take you to munich now for an update on the european championships. olympic silver medalist keely hodgkinson has qualified for the women's 800 metres final. the gb star looked relaxed as she won her semi—final heat in a time of 2:00.67. she will be desperate to take gold in the final

on saturday after coming second at the commonwelath games and the world championships last month. and more success for great britain in the second semi final asjemma reekie and alexandra bell also qualified with renelle lamote of france crossing the line first. in the women's 4x400 metres, gb women finished first in their heat, comfortably qualifying. the team of ama pipi, zoey clark, nicole yearginm and laveli nielsen are through to the final on saturday. and both the women and the men won their heats in the 4x100 metres, easing through to qualify for the finals, which are both on sunday — the last day of the competition. and morgan lake cleared 1.87 metres to move into the high jump final. it wasn't to be for laura zialor though who had three faults on the first jump. dina asher smith is preparing

to defend her 200 metre european title this evening in munich. she qualified with ease last night, recovering from the leg cramping problem she had in the 100 metres. asher smith says that cramping was due to her period — and wants more to be done to look into women's health and how periods can impact performance. more people need to actually research on the sport science perspective because it's absolutely huge. we wouldn't always talk about it, either, because sometimes you see girls that have been so consistent, there's a random dip and behind the scenes they've been really struggling. it's like, "what's that? that's random." but it would just do with more funding because... yeah, i feel like if it was a men's issue, they'd have a million different ways to combat things. but with women, there just needs to be more funding in that area. more success for team gb in the diving over in rome, that's running alongside the european championships. britain's grace reid and yasmin harper are through to tonight's final.

in the men's, ben cutmore and kyle kothari are also through to the final of the mens syncronised platform. now, it's not long until the weigh—in for the anthonyjoshua v olexander usyk fight takes place over in saudi arabia. joshua over in saudi arabia. is attempting to regain his wba, joshua is attempting to regain his wba, ibf and wbo belts after olexander usyk beat him first time round to beat him. joshua's promoter, eddie hearn, says everything is on the line for him. it is definitely a must win in terms of grabbing the heavyweight title back. he can progress in the sport and go on for anotherfour or back. he can progress in the sport and go on for another four or five years in the sport, but in terms of being and becoming world heavyweight champion, those opportunities are few and far between, so he has that opportunity on saturday night and he

must understand it's an opportunity that cannot be missed, and he has to fight with that kind of style and desire. olexander usyk —— he is the challenge and goes into the ring with nothing and has the chance to leave with everything. let's get more on the situation in ukraine, where the un secretary general antonio guterres says he hopes "discreet diplomacy" can secure the safety of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as fears grow that it could be damaged by shellfire. mr guterres — who's visiting the ukrainian port of odesa — told the bbc, the aim was to stop military activity around the facililty, and gain access for inspectors from the international atomic energy agency. he's been speaking to our correspondent james waterhouse. it is a very confusing situation, but there are two things that are essential. first, to stop any kind of military activity. we have been supporting the demilitarisation of zaporizhzhia.

second, to allow for a serious work with the international agency of atomic energy to verify and guarantee the safety of the plant. but russia yesterday rejected the idea of demilitarising the area around the complex. there is a long way for a serious discussion. i had a discussion yesterday with the minister of defence and president zelensky, and i hope it will be possible to start engaging in a way that we will come, at least for the moment, to an end of all military operations, and afterwards a situation where it is returned to its civilian nature. are there any discussions now with the russians? as i said, i spoke to the minister of defence and president zelensky. what did he say? if i told you what they said,

i am sure nothing would happen. the same demonstration that discrete diplomacy was the only way to make this, with being allowed in here, also makes me discrete in relation to the things we are trying to do address the several problems that exist in this war. have you been given any indication that the russians are willing to allow international inspectors into the plant? as i said, first of all, the russian federation is saying they want inspections of the plant. i don't want to enter into details. it is the mandate of the international agency for atomic energy and it is up to them to do the negotiations. we are ready to support them to move from kyiv. we have logistic and security capacity to allow them to go to kyiv, to zaporizhzhia.

specifically about what is happening at the zaporizhzhia complex — are you concerned? of course i am concerned. when you have military activity, bombardments, near a nuclear plant it is a concern to everyone. to the us now, where a judge says he may order the release of details from the document that authorized the fbi to search donald trump's home in florida last week. media organisations have asked for the affidavit submitted in support of a search warrant, to be made public. it could reveal much more detail about the nature of the us government's investigation into the former president. here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. a day in court to get more information about the search of donald trump's home and the alleged crimes the department ofjustice is investigating. us media organisations have argued that the affidavit, the document used to justify the search at mar—a—lago, should be

unsealed because of the huge level of public interest in the case. the judge agreed, but he wants the justice department to identify any sections it believes should remain confidential. i feel good about today's hearing. judge reinhart seems to have a very good sense that it is his job as the gate keeper in this case to perform his function of balancing the interest in the public of accessing these materials against the interest in the government in keeping them secret. bit by bit, the full extent of the investigation is becoming clear. part of the search warrant application has been released. it confirms that donald trump is under investigation for the wilful retention of national defence information, the concealment or removal of government records, and the obstruction of a federal investigation. government officials say the affidavit should stay out of public view, on the grounds that it could compromise their work, and possibly deter witnesses from co—operating with this

and other investigations. i thinkjudge reinhart is going to protect the identity of confidential informants, and that is probably the right outcome here. we don't want, you know, none of the media interveners want to jeopardise the safety or security of a confidential informant. donald trump wants the document released in full. a spokesperson for the former president said the florida judge had "rejected the doj's cynical attempt to hide the whole affidavit from americans". government officials now have until next thursday to decide what they want to try to keep under wraps, before thejudge makes a final ruling. peter bowes, bbc news. the man responsible for the bali bombing in 2002 has had his sentence reduced for good behaviour and could soon be eligible for parole. umar patek was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison for his role in the bombings that killed more than 200 people.

88 australians were killed in the blast and the prime minister anthony albanese has described the news as distressing. can i say that this will have a devastating impact on the families and they are going through a trauma in memory of their lost loved ones. we lost 88 australians in the attack. it was a barbaric attack. more than 200 people lost their lives, 88 australians who were all sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, fathers, mothers. young people lost their lives. so many people lost their lives, so it's not just the 88. there are thousands of people who have been impacted by this, and certainly the australian government will be conveying, diplomatically, very clearly, our view of this. which is this further reduction in sentence. there have been reductions before in the past of the original sentence of this person.

our correspondent, phil mercer has more from sydney. 202 people died. 88 of them, as you say from australia, but many other victims from indonesia. bali, of course, is a holiday destination in the indonesian archipelago, victims too from the united kingdom and the united states, and news that the bomb maker, umar patek, has been given a five month remission on his sentence, with the possibility of early parole, has been greeted with enormous dismay here in australia, not simply because the 20th anniversary of the atrocity is occurring in less than two months�* time. the australian prime minister, anthony albanese, saying this man was responsible for death and destruction on a massive scale, and there will be a lot of anxiety in australia, and elsewhere, that this man could well be released, after serving about half of a 20 year sentence that was

imposed on him in 2012. we are hearing reports that indonesian authorities consider umar patek to be a model prisoner, and a bit of a poster boy, if you like, for the deradicalisation campaign that is under way in indonesia. the authorities there say that this man has been deradicalised, a good prisoner, with a good attitude, who has reaffirmed his commitment to the indonesian state. once upon a time, this man was one of the most wanted men in asia. he was arrested in pakistan a decade ago, sentenced to 20 years in prison. many australians will view this man with utter disdain, given, as we say, the anniversary of this atrocity is approaching. very briefly, bali was, once upon a time, australia's

tropical playground — clearly not part of australia, but very much part of australian tradition. so the attack there in 2002 really did shatter australia's sense of isolated security, and for many people, notjust here in australia, but in many other countries, the mental and physical scars of those bombings persist to this very day. time for a look at some of the story is making the headlines across the uk. to north yorkshire where a market town is anticipating the opening of a new student campus that promises to boost spending. northallerton will see a project between sunderland university and york college offering digital skills. the hope is that local students will attend, rather than moving out of the hambleton district for their education. ian reeve, the business correspondent for look north in newcastle, reports.

northallerton, an affluent town, part of the golden triangle with ripon and harrogate, where anecdotally wealth per head is greater than anywhere in the country outside of london. and it might be about to get yet more affluent. sunderland university and york college will open a new campus next month. hundreds of students spending money. and gary's record shop, just one likely recipient of the student pound. with the opening of the new vintage place yesterday next door under the umbrella of the better days brand we're hoping that the students will will engage because they love that type of thing. the clothing, the nostalgia. it's not necessarily my generation that buy things like that because we had it originally. it's the students who particularly the clothing, the clothing and the book, the books and the art go really well with students. the college support it. so we're hoping with the influx of the older students, the mature,

the 18 plus students, they're going to really enjoy it. the street is going to be really busy. i mean, this is the moment where i think we're very lucky. zetland street is the only route down to the new estate, which is going to be not only the campus but the treadmills, which is two supermarkets. it's going to be a big cinema with restaurants and car parking. so that's going to be a very central part. the aim of the campus here is to keep students in the hambleton district in the area, hope they then stay beyond their studies, fill localjobs and keep northallerton financially buoyant. ian reeve, bbc look north. a new drug to protect high risk patients from covid is being trialled here in the uk. the aim of the drug is to help people whose immune system is too weakfor a covid vaccine — to avoid catching the virus in the first place. david gregory—kumar reports from birmingham. in many ways, irene and andrew are people who haven't been able to move on with their lives.

they're still locked in the early days of the pandemic because, for them, the covid vaccines don't work. i don't go to as many theatres or cinemas or crowded places. ijust avoid them. well, i was shielded from the beginning anyway, and i've virtually been shielded ever since. i've not been anywhere. and the only people who've been in the house have been family or people who've lateral flow tested before they came. andrew and irene will be the second and third people taking part in a trial of a new drug, here at the queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham. it's called sotrovimab, and it's designed to stop patients with immune—system problems getting coronavirus in the first place. so how does it work? antibodies are made by the body to help protect us against infection. in people that aren't able to mount a vaccine response, they don't have these antibodies. so this drug is trying to replace the natural antibodies against covid, and hopefully it will provide

that level of protection that the vaccine would have done. in the end, 1,700 patients will take part in this trial — half will get a placebo, half the new drug. and since the drug has a slight yellow tinge, to make sure nobody knows which is which it's hidden inside these black plastic bags during the trial. now, it's important to stress that vaccination is still the best way to fight coronavirus. but for these patients, if this trial is successful, this drug offers them a route back to a much more normal life. if all goes well, we should have some early results hopefully in about six months — and a full report in two years' time. david gregory—kumar, bbc news, birmingham. a man from liverpool is going to drive around the entire coast of australia in a car powered by the sun. it'll take stuart mcbain three months to make the trip — which is more than 9,000 miles. he'll use a new kind of solar panel — which is a bit

like a roll mat — to charge the car. our environment correspondent judy hobson has been to meet him. it looks like a sheet of metal, but could this be the future of renewable energy? printed solar panels are being developed in australia. they've been tested in a lab, but will they work in the real world? ok, so when i turn up in the morning i'll open the boot of the car and i've got 18 panels in the back — this is just a sample at the moment, it's not what they actually look like — but then i'lljust roll them out. stuart mcbain, from liverpool, wants to find out how good they really are. we're going to go and drive around the coast of australia, which will take us three months. during that time we're going to be taking the panels out and putting them back in the car and driving, so it's testing the product in the real environment to see how it handles. this is stuart on a test run, showing how big the printed solar panels actually need to be. he'll charge the car on school playing fields as he makes his way around australia, for a total of 9,380 miles.

but this isn't about powering cars, it's simply testing the technology. so it's not a practical demonstration of the future of car charging because it'sjust impractical to have such a huge panel collecting such a small amount of energy, when you bear in mind that this car here can take on 350 miles of charge from a super—charger in 45 minutes, so getting 100 miles of charge in ten hours is not practical. it's a demonstration and a field trial of this productjust to see how it bears up. these panels are renewable and cheap to make and stuart wants to prove they can work in the remotest areas. he is working with the developers, who think this could revolutionise the way we generate energy. these printed solar panels are ultra—flexible, ultra—thin and ultra—lightweight. that means that we can look at applications where we can cover them across vast areas and, because they're printed, at really low cost. i feel very honoured and very excited to be able to say that this is the first time that anybody has

attempted this, so we're making it up as we go along. stuart is self—funding his trip. he wants to see if this radical new technology could play a role in the way we generate energy in the future. a strange new building is causing quite a stir in bristol in the west of england. it was created to show people how they could potentially live on mars, but with the additional aim of making them think about how they can live more sustainably on earth. wendy urquhart reports.

space has always been a source of curiosity and experts have often talked about the possibility of living on the moon or mars and a new project now makes it possible to see what living on mars might look like. this two—story, 53 square—metre inflatable structure was designed by a team of experts who specialise in creating buildings for extreme environment, including antarctica. it is powered both solar panels and can cope with an average temperature of —63 celsius, but there are also a number of other urgent issues to consider. the key thing about when you're living on mars is you need your buildings to be completely airtight, because the atmosphere outside is essentially poisonous. you then need to be able to keep out all the dangerous solar and cosmic radiation so you need to have the outside made of something which will keep all those dangerous rays out. so, our house partially would be built underground, in the amazing lava tubes which exist under the surface of mars — that's where the bedrooms and bathrooms would be. and then aboveground would be the living room, this gold inflatable section that you see behind us, and that would be filled with home—made concrete, made of the water and crusty earth

you get on planet mars and it would then go hard and protect you from the rays that exist around you. the environmental control room, the life—support systems that power the house, two compact bedroom pods, a shower and a low—water martian loo are in the underground section. the creators hope that this martian house will inspire people to live more sustainably on earth and you can see what it is all about when it opens to the public at the end of august. wendy urquhart, bbc news. high speed internet has been installed on the slopes of africa's highest peak so people who summit mount kilimanjaro can instantly share the news with family, friends and followers. tanzania says its state—owned phone network had set up the connection — at a height of 12,000 feet — so users who reached the top could connect to social media and post about their achievement.

mount kilimanjaro is an important source of tourism revenue in tanzania and neighbouring kenya, with around 35,000 people attempting to summit it each year. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. good afternoon. sunny spells and scattered showers gathering across north—western parts of the uk on a brisk wind today, close to the area of low pressure and we have said goodbye to this weather front that dawned across the eastern areas, so there is a summerjob drier, brighter weather and good spells of sunshine, no —— more than yesterday for england and wales. the odd shower popping up and the heavier further north but here they might ease down later on. temperatures will not be quite as high as yesterday but it still feels pleasantly warm out there in the strong august sunshine. if you are able to get out and about tonight,

the skies are likely to be clear and it will again be a fairly strong aurora so we will see the northern lights across the northern half of the country where the skies stay clear towards the end of the night we have more cloud gathering for western scotland and northern ireland, some heavy rain on strong to gale force winds by morning. the big difference in the south is we lose the humidity so it will be far more comfortable for sleeping at long last under this ridge of high pressure. during the course of saturday, the weather front slips further south, so quite strong winds due to the tightly packed isobars pushing the rain away from northern ireland, eastern and southern scotland by the time to the afternoon but it could become a slow moving feature in north wales and it could turn heavy with a rumble of thunder but either side, the odd shower around in some areas in the south might stay dry altogether and still quite warm, some strong sunshine at this time of year and through the course of saturday night the weather front will weaken further as it heads southwards, so

not much useful rain on that particular system but there are more weather systems waiting in the wings. itjust means we will see a more cloudy day on sunday, particularly in the south and west with patchy rain edging in through the day but instead it looks drier and brighterfor the day but instead it looks drier and brighter for scotland and with more sunshine around here. but we are starting to pick up the humidity again, so they could be low cloud and mist enos through sunday evening and mist enos through sunday evening and overnight. when it looks as though we will see usable rain, perhaps a dampening for many gardens, as much as ten millimetres, perhaps a bit more in places, so not a deluge but certainly something useful for the a deluge but certainly something usefulfor the gardens, a deluge but certainly something useful for the gardens, and a deluge but certainly something usefulfor the gardens, and it a deluge but certainly something useful for the gardens, and it stays unsettled to start the new working week as well.

this is bbc news. the headlines... a growing number of under—30s are paying unaffordable rent — new figures show that 4 in 10 are paying landlords more than 30 per cent of their income. nhs leaders say the uk is facing a �*humanitarian crisis', unless further action is taken on energy costs — with more people falling ill as they choose between skipping meals and heating their homes. concerns over ambulance response times — an 87—year—old lay under a makeshift shelter on his garden patio for 15 hours after calling 999.
