live from london, this is bbc news. the search for survivors continues after a tourist boat capsizes in the southern indian state of kerala, killing at least 21. russia has launched another wave of missile and drone strikes against ukraine. the capital kyiv and odesa were among the targets. a concert fit for a king: windsor castle plays host to a star—studded evening of entertainment to celebrate the coronation. hello, i'm sally bundock. welcome to the programme.

we begin in india, where the search for survivors gone on through the night in the southern state of kerala after a tourist boat capsized. at least 21 people died when the double—decker boat turned on its side on a river. some of those rescued are said to be in a critical condition. rescuers from india's national disaster response force are at the site. with more on this, our correspondent simonjones is in the newsroom. simon, what more can you tell us? , simon, what more can you tell us? ,, ., ., ., us? the boat capsized at around seven o'clock _ us? the boat capsized at around seven o'clock on _ us? the boat capsized at around seven o'clock on sunday - us? the boat capsized at around| seven o'clock on sunday evening local time. that in itself raises some questions because normally, tourist boats like this must stop running services at 6pm, when it gets dark. but it's believed people were heading back to a town called tanur. the town had been particularly busy, people were returning there from a day at the beach. shortly into its

journey, the boat started listing and then, it actually capsized. that was a double—decker boat, a large number of people were trapped underneath the boat, and that's why we've seen such a large number of people losing their lives. other people have been rescued and taken to hospital but we understand people are in a critical condition and relatives have been gathering at the hospital's desperate venues, but the rescue operation has continued the night. we have other boats going out to this boat that has capsized, looking through the windows, looking for any signs of life. in terms of what happened, a local police officer has reported they understand the boat was overcapacity. we don't know exactly how many people were on board. it's a confusing situation. eyewitnesses say between 30 and 50 people on board. some eyewitnesses have said not all of them were wearing life jackets, so a key

part of the investigation immediately after this rescue operation is going to look into why exactly this happened, and the question of capacity and lifejackets. indian prime minister narendra modi has said he is pained to see such a large loss of life. other officials have said this really is a catastrophic incident and their thoughts go out to the families of those people who have been affected. but suddenly through the night, that rescue operation continues, looking for signs of life, but the authorities are warning the number of people who die, the death toll, is likely to rise as the rescue operation continues. the boat is actually stuck in mud which is actually stuck in mud which is making things particularly difficult. efforts will be made either to tow the boat back to shore or to write it, to try to release anyone who may still be trapped after all these hours but hopes all these hours after our fading

but hopes all these hours after ourfading —— right it. but hopes all these hours after our fading -- right it.— our fading -- right it. thank ou, our fading -- right it. thank you. simon _ our fading -- right it. thank you, simon jones. - air raid alerts have sounded across southern and central ukraine in response to the latest missile attacks by russia. residents of kyiv were told to head to shelters shortly before midnight local time. the mayor said five people had been injured. the southern city of odesa has also been targeted. russia has stepped up its aerial attacks ahead of an expected offensive by ukraine. a ukrainian general in bakhmut said russia had intensified its shelling of the devastated city too. and russia's wagner group boss says moscow has agreed to his demands for more ammunition, days after he threatened to withdraw his men from bakhmut. russian troops and fighters from wagner, a private military company, have been trying to capture bakhmut for months, despite its questionable strategic value. let's discuss this now.

dr michael mackay, political analyst from ottawa, canada, joins us to analyse the latest developments on ukraine. give us your take on where we are at now in this conflict because things are changing quite significantly, haven't they, in the last few days? yes, they have, and i think the marker of this is the forced deportations of ukrainians from occupied territories, in particular from occupied separator and curse on. we are seeing people thrown out of their homes with their meagre belongings, sometimes put on buses and their homes are stolen and this is mostly around communities closer to the battlefront —— zaporizhzhia and kherson. we see this as a sign of, i don't want to say the russians withdrawing, is

actually an intensification of actually an intensification of a military effort along the battlefront.— a military effort along the battlefront. �* , , ., battlefront. and this is what the mixed — battlefront. and this is what the mixed messages - battlefront. and this is what the mixed messages that i battlefront. and this is what | the mixed messages that are coming through, aren't they? it's hard to interpret if they are withdrawing or intensifying, which was what is going on in bakhmut as well? yes, the signals from bakhmut, for example, the leader of the wagner mercenary group saying we will withdraw the armed forces of russian federation are not giving us ammunition and then, saying we will take their place and now, a change of heart and we will do it but in fact, nothing on the ground really changed. it's still is concentration of force in the city, minuscule games at tremendous loss for the russians and it's been continuing and don't forget also may eight, today now, is a symbolic date of the russians

—— miniscule gains. it is their victory day. i think we can see partly for propaganda reasons are kind of combination around these days and as you said, this expectation, we know the ukrainian counteroffensive is coming. ukrainian counteroffensive is cominu. �* , , coming. also it gives us insight. _ coming. also it gives us insight, doesn't - coming. also it gives us insight, doesn't it, - coming. also it gives us insight, doesn't it, into | coming. also it gives us i insight, doesn't it, into the tricky relationship between wagner and its leader and the armed forces in russia and, of course, the kremlin.— course, the kremlin. yes, i think the — course, the kremlin. yes, i think the correct _ course, the kremlin. yes, i - think the correct understanding is to see these men at the head of these groups as competing warlords. it's all part of the same apparatus. i have in common this goal of waging a genocidal war against the ukrainian people. but in the meantime, there's this jostling for power. so, for example, we've seen this tremendous effort by wagner, taking

control of the bakhmut area, this battlefront, and it's really make a break for them. their casualties have been so catastrophic that they cannot sustain the human wave assaults that they did before and now, they're absolutely dependent on artillery, and the russians have focused practically everything there, to the detriment of other areas. i see this as an opportunity for the ukrainians, when we do see a counteroffensive. we will see them strike in many areas, there will be feints and so on but tremendous opportunity because we're talking about a battlefront that goes for hundreds of kilometres, from kharkiv to limits, to zaporizhzhia, to the black sea. —— donetsk. michael, thank you so much for your talk on this development. michael mackay. let's get some of the

day's other news now. memorials have been taking place in texas following the mall shooting on saturday. us media say the man who shot dead eight people was a suspected far—right sympathiser. he's been identified as 33—year—old mauricio garcia. police shot him dead at the scene. police in texas are investigating after a man crashed his car into a group of people waiting at a bus stop, killing seven of them. the incident happened near a migrant centre in the town of brownsville, close to the us border with mexico. the sudanese army and its paramilitary rivals are continuing to fight for control of the capital khartoum, despite attempts to get the two sides to talk. three weeks of battles have destroyed parts of the city and killed hundreds of civilians. the president of iran, ebrahim raisi, has ordered an inquiry into the widespread protests triggered by the death in custody of mahsa amini last september. the demonstrations have been seen as the most serious challenge to the iranian

authorities in decades. thousands more people have been forced to leave their homes in the canadian province of alberta because of wildfires. in all, almost 30,00 residents have been told to evacuate in recent days. dozens of fires are spread out across a large area, complicating the work of firefighters. the focus of the coronation weekend is shifting to service with the public being encouraged to lend a hand in their communities. the event, called the big help out, aims to create a lasting legacy of volunteering. last night, the prince of wales paid tribute to his father the king at a star—studded coronation concert at windsor castle. lionel richie, tom cruise and miss piggy were among the big names who wowed the 20,000—strong crowd. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. all: five, four, | three, two, one!

cheering and applause. from the intense formality of westminster abbey to the energy of the coronation concert on the east lawn of windsor castle with an audience of 20,000, charity volunteers, nhs workers and guests chosen by public ballot. watching from the royal box, the king and queen, the prince and princess of wales, princess charlotte and prince george, and other members of the family. # we've seen it all. there was music from the coronation choir — 300 singers from many walks of life and different parts of the uk. and humourfrom miss piggy. wait a second! kermit, it's him! a lord — a real lord! no, ijust played one on television. give me a bear with a marmalade habit any time. laughs hysterically. so adorable! as dusk fell,

lionel richie sang. # come on and sing along, people! and the royal box did its best to keep up. # fiesta, forever! and then, it was time to be a little more serious. onto the stage came the prince of wales. i want to say a few words about my father and why i believe this weekend is so important. but don't worry — unlike lionel, i won't go on all night long! cheering and applause. cheering, applause, laughter. as my grandmother said when she was crowned, "coronations are a declaration of our hopes for the future," and i know she's up there, fondly keeping an eye on us, and she's be a very proud mother. cheering and applause. william talked about his father's 50 years of service, his work to protect the environment, to establish the prince's trust... and perhaps most importantly of all, my father's always understood that people of all faiths, all backgrounds

and all communities deserve to be celebrated and supported. cheering and applause. pa, we are all so proud of you. and i also want to express my pride and gratitude for the millions of people who serve in the forces, in classrooms, hospital wards and local communities. cheering and applause. i wish i could mention you all. your service inspires us and tonight, we celebrate you too. i commit myself to serve you all, king, country and commonwealth. god save the king. cheering and applause. # rain keeps falling. # rain keeps falling

at the bristol animal rescue centre, they have received so many rabbits, they have opened up an overflow area. most have been dumped or abandoned, and the staff say there is no room for any more. it makes me so sad. you know, i'm glad that they end up here and not anywhere worse, but i think all rescue centres at the moment are full to the brim and we're just trying to do our best and take in as many as we possibly can, but we are also at capacity here, so for this time of year, we are almost doubling the numbers of rabbits that we would normally see. so, yeah. does anybody want any broccoli today? feeding and caring for pets can be pricey, and that might be the reason why rabbits like sparkly here have been left without a home. the thinking here is that the cost—of—living crisis is to blame. rabbits are not as cheap to own as people think that they are. there are plenty available for adoption, and when they come as cute as this, how can

you possibly resist? you're live with bbc news. let's get more on the coronation and talk to k] matthews, entertainment journalist, who's in la. will you collude, give us the reaction from stateside to all of this? it reaction from stateside to all of this? . , , ., ., of this? it happened around 2:30am in _ of this? it happened around 2:30am in los _ of this? it happened around 2:30am in los angeles, - of this? it happened around 2:30am in los angeles, i i of this? it happened around i 2:30am in los angeles, i had of this? it happened around - 2:30am in los angeles, i had to stay up very very late and i did stay up to watch the beginning of it, fell asleep and i did watch the rest, i really enjoyed it, i enjoyed the concert as well that happened a day later, i thought it went very well, yes. it happened a day later, i thought it went very well, yes.— it went very well, yes. it was a hue it went very well, yes. it was a huge event _ it went very well, yes. it was a huge event for _ it went very well, yes. it was a huge event for the - it went very well, yes. it was a huge event for the uk, - it went very well, yes. it was a huge event for the uk, the j a huge event for the uk, the royalfamily but a huge event for the uk, the royal family but however, attention is on everyone within the family and in the united

quite interesting. a fruit —— a few front pages there, it is all on our website and see them. ei will be back soon with all the big business stories. i will see you in a moment. hello, there. looking at the weather over the coronation weekend, i think it's fair to say we've had a real mixed bag, starting on saturday, with the coronation itself, where, in london, we had, of course, rain. it wasn't that heavy — we only had five millimetres — but it was relentless, lasting for about nine hours, so very damp weather. a different story for sunday, many of us dry with some sunshine coming through, and it was the warmest day of the year so far, with highs of 21.3. but how warm is that? well, if we look at the 7th of may, in previous years, up to that date, we've had much warmer spells. for example, back in 2018, temperatures had already reached 29 degrees at this time of the year. so, 21, absolutely nothing special for early may. now, on the satellite picture, what we're looking at here

is this stripe of cloud, which is our next band of heavy rain that's going to be moving through. indeed, it's already making inroads in across northern ireland, moving its way eastwards into scotland. england, in the west, and wales also, having a wet start to your bank holiday monday. it will be quite mild, though, temperatures about ten to 12 celsius for many of us, and then, through monday, well, you might well start off with a bit of sunshine across east anglia and the southeast of england, but this band of rain is on its way. the rain, quite heavy at times, perhaps with a bit of thunder mixed in, and even as we start to see some brighter weather moving in to the north west later on, there'll be lots of heavy showers, particularly for northern ireland, with a number of thunderstorms here. but those storms are also likely to be working to west scotland, as well. where we do see a bit of may sunshine, temperatures still into the high teens, so it still won't feel too bad. tuesday, it starts quite cloudy. there'll be some sunshine comes through for a time, but then big showers. northern ireland, wales and southern counties of england quite likely to see some big thunderstorms, and some of those will have hail mixed in with them,

as well. still, there will be some places that dodge the downpours, and with temperatures still into the upper teens, it won't feel too bad, if you're out and about. wednesday sees an occlusion, bringing some more general rain to west scotland and northern ireland. it's not the only place that will see rain, though, because, after a fine start across england and wales, showers will move from west to east, and, again, they're likely to be heavy, with some hail and thunder mixed in once again. temperatures still pretty much, at best, reaching the upper teens. thursday, we see further showers, particularly concentrated across england and wales. something a bit brighterfor scotland and northern ireland, but as you can see from the outlook, we are expecting it to stay pretty unsettled.

live from london, this is bbc news. coronation crunch or big lunch boost? we take a look at some of the numbers after an historic weekend. us treasury secretary warns of possible economic and financial catastrophe if lawmakers don't raise the debt ceiling. and it's called the big help out: we find out how businesses large and small are playing their part, volunteering in local communities across the uk.
