the world's second biggest carnival is back this weekend on the streets of west london. millions are expected to gather and celebrate the notting hill carnival for the first time in two years. the spectacle of music, dancing, food and drink is rooted in carribean culture, and has been influenced by the windrush generation. by by the end of the day more than a million people have taken to the carnival route, as you can see here, a million people by the end of the day. today is traditionally known as children's day where many people are competing for the title of best costume. in terms of the carnival, it's been happening in london every year since the 1960s, it was cancelled last year in the year before because of the pandemic but the notting hill carnival 2022 is well under way. now it's time for a look at

the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. a lot of fine settled weather in the forecast for the rest of today and tomorrow. much of the week ahead, too. high pressure really dominating things out there. one or two showers as we head into the evening for northern ireland, perhaps north west england, one or two for central scotland. many places, though, seeing a bit of late sunshine into the evening hours, 6pm, temperatures still above 20 degrees for much of england and wales, a little bit cooler for scotland, particularly towards the north and the east. 12 degrees there for the shetland isles. now, through this evening and tonight, then, we're set to see an area of rain developing for parts of north west england, across the isle of man, northern ireland, perhaps into dumfries and galloway too. but either side of that, a lot of dry and fairly cloudy, mild weather overnight. so temperatures holding between about 11 to 15 degrees first thing tomorrow. now, through monday, a bank holiday for many of us, we're likely to see a little bit of patchy rain here for central parts of the uk, easing away quite quickly. a few showers for parts of scotland too, but a lot of dry weather. best of the sunshine towards the south and south—west.

and temperatures on monday between around 15 to 23 degrees. goodbye for now. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: pakistan is warning that millions more people are likely to be caught up in the unprecedented flooding that's already claimed more than a thousand lives. "get a spine" — the message from britain's biggest trade union to the labour party over standing up for working people struggling with the cost of living crisis. merseyside police have issued an online video appealing for help catching the person who shot dead nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel inside her home last week. now on bbc news, frontline frontmen. a report on the thousands of ukrainian civilians who joined the military to fight invading russian forces, including members of one of ukraine's top rock bands.

come on. come on, come on. our music has vibration of love, but war has vibration of hate. we don't have a lot of equipment, so we need to buy this equipment by ourselves. i have no tears anymore. i'm tired to cry. blood smells disgusting for me. and we are camouflaging this car to give it back to the front line. the sadness defeat me. every day like this.

i'm frontman of antytila, popular band in ukraine. and now me, with my friends, with my colleagues serving in territorial defence forces in kharkiv region. we are in our store, in our supply depot. here is a lot of bandages, tourniquets. we saved a lot of lives using this tourniquets. we are paramedical team. paramedical squad. first of all, our main aim is to give the first aid to wounded and injured soldiers. and to transport them from

the battlefield to the hospital. it was maybe 10 or 15 calendars. but we keep them, and if we need, if somebody needs, somebody asks us to give them this, we give this, but we try to to keep it because it is... it is the three last one. it's like flashback from the past peaceful life. we played for more than 12 years, playing together. we released seven albums

and gave a lot of gigs. it is more than 1,000 gigs during this time, so we had a lot of big ukrainian tours and we had three american and canadian tours. we planned a european tour. my name is sergi vucic. i am the keyboard player in antytila.

hello. i play guitar in antytila band. this vehicle's problems are that driver's door are not opening

and back door are not closing, and passenger's door also not closing well. so now we are the car repair station. the situation is that we don't have a lot of equipment, so we need to buy this equipment by ourselves and to repair by using our money and money of friends and ukrainian civilian people, volunteers who helps us to do this. and like it happens now, we are here on the repair station and they help us without money. news: the russian president, vladimir putin, has launched a major military operation against ukraine. before the war began, we were planning our new stadium tour. it was absolutely a different life.

the war changed everything. we were living with our wives and kids in our apartments and our houses. when the war began on the 24th february, i woke up and i say to my wife that the war is started. we grabbed our kids and took some luggages with clothes, documents, and my wife with my kids went away. but i stayed in kyiv. my friends did the same, and we started to serve. so we were preparing for this war, of course.

i'm a singer from ukraine. my name and the stage is alyosha. i'm here in america with my three kids. we're living with taras's mother because she's living here a lot of time. and we with kids just waiting when we can go home. this taras with maria in kyiv. this is our house. our home. when he volunteered, i think it's normal. absolutely. because he is a man. he is father, he is ukrainian men. and it's our country, our people and our future.

during a long time, part of our battalion was here serving and doing their job. it is very essential to smile and tojoke during this hard times. it helps. i don't know how it works exactly. i don't know why it works like this. but when you are joking, when you are smiling, when you are joking, psychologically it helps. and somebody playing guitar and harmonica. # then she woke up. # woke up from where she was lying still. # saying, we got to do something

about where we're going. # la la la la la la la la # la la la la. this is our guitar player, and this is our drummer. they are the rhythm section and they are doing theirjob in kyiv like volunteers, like civilian and military volunteers. they are gathering a lot of different, very essential staff together. they are collecting money for this. and also they delivers this to the hottest point on the frontline.

we are camouflaging this car to give it back to the front line. this also is the type of work we do to help our soldiers.

ta—da! this man with his colleagues fixed our door, and now it opens and close. 0k. come on. 0k. now we on the repaired vehicle going directly to the front line at the north end of kharkiv region to show you where and how we are serving in territorial defence forces. we should drive faster because russian artillery works. he's covering under the tree. let's go.

here is the front line. this is our position. this yard was destroyed by russia mortarfire. so it is our bomb shelter. you see the blood here? it is the blood of our friend that was wounded. one piece of shrapnel cut out part of his leg. we gave him first aid and after that transported him to the hospital. fortunately, professional ukrainian surgeons saved his leg. you know, blood smells disgusting for me. and also, when this smell compares with smell of the shelling, with smell of the explosion, it's the most disgusting smell of my life.

distant explosions. it's far away. it is russian mortarfire.

come on. come on, come on. explosions. good. yeah. here we have it. here we go. it's ok. so just keep calm and listening, and then just come on. explosions. i'm 0k. come on. inside the car. it is russian mortar fire in that area. so now it's not so safe to go there. so it can happen every time. as i was saying. so you'rejust... it was close.

watch. 0k. i miss a good restaurant. i would like a good wine, good food, and also my friends. and also we were used to spend the evenings with our wives drinking good wine, eating meat, good cheese, and talking about life. explosions.

# there's no one left to blame... every evening after doing my duties, i call my wife and my kids. phone rings. i'm worried about him and i'm just texting to whatsapp, to telegram. and when i see it's not in, in online, i'mjust,

i don't know what to think. and that's why i told him, if you're not in online, you must tell me about this before because i'm crazy. i have no tears anymore.

i'm tired to cry. ijust can't wake up, like a dream. i'm in a dream. and i want to wake up. wake up in my home. i don't want to lie that sometimes the sadness defeat me. like the sadness win this battle and takes me in her hands. and when i'm calling and i'm sad, it's this mood, i share this mood with my kid, with my wife. and after that, they became like,

you know, they start to crying and i don't want to do this. i even don't tell them about what was happening like today or yesterday, really, what was really happening. and i don't tell them because for what? so i don't want to spread this like terrible feelings and some sadness to them. and every day like this. # and all we need is us to go on # with the woman i love

# yeah #. there were hard battles around kyiv. we made the song. with ed sheeran. it was hard because we were serving in our battalion and we were doing ourjob there. and now we have a good song and it is very big pleasure for us that ed sheeran�*s team proposed to us to take a part in this song. i can't ever imagine that someday bono will call me and invite me to take a part in his concert. and, you know, i was doing my myjob and some number, covered number, called calls me and says,

"hello, i'm bono." what? come on, what is happening? and bono gives us maybe 20 hours to come to kyiv because in that time we were in kharkiv. so we took our luggages and we're driving overnight. and i was expecting to have some rehearsal with bono, but it didn't happen. and it was first time of my life that i'm singing with bono. the song that i have never sung before on the stage. i was nervous.

# stand by me me #. our music has a vibration of love. but war has low vibration. vibration of hate, vibration of death, and it's different. so when we are playing music during this war, it helps. it heals, like, it's like a medicine for us. what i want, i want to create a new album. new antytila album after the war. yes, maybe this war change our music.

but also change our brains, ourthoughts. but when we will get this victory, when we will build a new country and dream you, we will need a new kind of songs, songs of happiness with a smile on ourface. if we will survive, we will do this, of course. # hello. # from hazy tomorrow. # hello. # what dreams do you follow?# hello. the weather not changing in a hurry over the next few days.

we've got high pressure that's bringing a lot of dry weather with some sunshine. this was the scene a little earlier today in suffolk. many of us seeing some similar conditions, cumulus cloud around and that's bringing a few showers at times over the next few days. but most of us staying predominately dry and there'll be some sunshine, particularly across some southern and western areas. we have got a bit more cloud that's drifting in for some areas off the north sea because the winds are rotating around a big area of high pressure. so it's a little bit cooler and breezy around some north sea coasts. over the next few days through afternoon, just one or two splashes of rain for northern ireland, northern england, western scotland, just the odd rogue shower further south, but the vast majority of us staying dry, missing those showers around 16 to 23 degrees. our top temperatures out there into the evening hours, so into this evening, a bit of sunshine, late sunshine to end the day in the south overnight. some rain developing through parts of north west england, isle of man, northern ireland, perhaps into dumfries and galloway, too. but most other areas looking dry and clear tonight, temperatures between about 11 to 15 degrees or so.

clear skies, in fact, across the shetland isles. but elsewhere we have got a fair bit of cloud around. so this is how we start monday morning. that damp weather for parts of northern england, northern ireland as well clears away fairly quickly. most of us having another dry day, but we've got a bit more of a breeze for east anglia in the southeast. could just bring one or two showers off the north sea here. so temperatures somewhere between 15 to 23 degrees on monday, probablyjust a notch down compared to what we saw during sunday afternoon. and then high pressure stays to the north of the uk through tuesday and in fact right into the middle part of the week as well. so that's keeping things mostly dry and settled. but it is going to be bringing again these breezes that are going to be starting to pick up on tuesday for parts of eastern england, northeast scotland as well, chance of a shower or two for east anglia in the southeast, but they're moving through fairly quickly. so certainly nothing heavy temperatures where you're exposed to that breeze in the east around 15 to 18 degrees, but further south and west, up to about 2k degrees on tuesday. no great changes into the middle part of the week. that high pressure, very slow moving.

we've got low pressure out to the south west into thursday, but it looks like that's largely going to be staying away for the here and now. so the next few days, certainly looking dry and settled. it's not until friday and into the weekend that we see a bit more cloud and perhaps some quite welcome rainfall where we really do need it through the weekend. bye bye.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 5pm... pakistan warns millions more people are likely to be caught up in unprecedented flooding that's already claimed more than 1,000 lives. efforts are under way to get aid to some of those worst hit areas this is not a river. these are flooded waters that have come in from weeks and weeks of rains. the boat that we're on at the moment usually works as a fishing boat but it's become a lifeline for people in these sorts of remote villages. merseyside police have issued an online video appealing for help catching the person who shot dead nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel inside her home last week. she won't celebrate her wedding. she won't have children of her own. if you've got information and you're withholding it, you are protecting the killers.
