temporally transform absolutely spectacular sites across the city over the years. starting off down in market street, some forgotten arches near the train station is probably one of our most memorable sites. the leith theatre on ferry road in edinburgh and this was a particularly spectacular site because it was completely forgotten and a huge arts centre for the city which is now working to become a viable arts venue. so we opened that “p viable arts venue. so we opened that up for the first time in 30 years and this year we will be reforming the scottish widows building, built in the 19705 in the city centre. what a way to inject new life into these places. but many charities have been saying they had a real drop in volunteer numbers during the pandemic. i imagine it must have been really difficult for you because despite needing volunteers you are holding festivals which must be been impossible during the pandemic. it

the crown's role in the slave trade, and whether or not to go republic. our correspondent celestina olulode reports. the shifting tides of constitutional change. this tiny island is reconsidering its relationship with the crown. the prime minister of st kitts and nevis says he wants to give people a say on who the head of state should be. the head of state still resides in the monarchy in england. and so, that aspect of it is telling us that we are not totally free at. us that we are not totally free yet. that consultation, discussion, will start sometime during my leadership. the prime minister is also calling for an apology for the historic role of the monarchy in the slave trade. i think that acknowledging that some wrong was done, acknowledging it, and apologising for it, is a step in the right direction.

buckingham palace says slavery is an issue the king takes profoundly seriously. last month, the palace said it was supporting independent research into the royal family's historic links to the slave trade and on the matter of countries becoming republics, king charles iii has said it is a matter for each nation to decide. britain's influence remains strong here even after almost 40 years of independence but as this nation reaches that milestone, there is ongoing debate around its identity. we still have the same colonialist thinking and that is one we have to move away from. that is why i think a republic would benefit our people more. being so small to making a big step would be impressionable onto the world, i would say. a recent poll suggests the country is still split on whether becoming

a republic is a good idea. if there is one place that illustrates its colonial past it is brimstone hill fortress, the site of several royal visits, including the then prince charles in 2019. the entire structure was built by enslaved africans. they cut the stone into shape. this historian showed the king around the islands. we recognise that the people who fill the office of the monarchy are in person kind and human beings, but the office to represent are in person kind and human beings, but the office do represent the same force was behind the enslavement of the africans. as the country strides forward, questions linger and reaching an agreement on any next steps appears to be a long way off.

now to the democratic republic of congo, where nearly 400 bodies have been recovered following floods and landslides that hit two villages in the country's eastern region last week. last week also saw floods on the other side of lake kivu in neighbouring rwanda, where more than 130 people were killed. earlier, our correspondent jewel kiriungi gave us this update. well, the democratic republic of congo is today observing a national day of mourning. and this is in honour of the 400 people who have died in recent floods and mudslides in the region. president felix tshisekedi as well as other government officials are expected to visit some of the affected areas. rescue teams are still continuing to look for more bodies which are believed to be trapped in two villages in the kalehe territory in the eastern south kevu province. the efforts are still ongoing. it is a very delicate situation

and we are monitoring. and tell us how unusual these floods are. because we have heard from antonio guterres, the un secretary—general, saying that this is a direct impact of climate change. well, the un secretary—general antonio guterres was referring to the fact that this is a situation that happened in neighbouring rwanda just two days earlier where 130 people were killed in similar scenarios caused by floods which caused mudslides in neighbouring villages. seeing the magnitude of disaster in eastern congo has prompted the un to raise issue on the fact that this is a region that is bearing the effects of climate change even though it really contributes very little to it. and there have been reports of people having to dig through the mud to find relatives. how much help is there available for people who are struggling with the aftermath of these floods?

the president has called for humanitarian assistance. the authorities are currently strained because this is a region that is already dealing with the humanitarian crisis. it is an area that has been dealing with conflict for a while now and humanitarian authorities are strained at the moment. the president has reached out and called for humanitarian assistance. we have read reports of authorities sending relief to some of the affected villages. food, medicalsupplies, water, in a bid to help the victims who have been devastated by this event. let's go to texas now because at least eight people were killed when an suv ran a red light and plowed into a group waiting at a bus stop outside a migrant aid center in texas. this is the aftermath with the first images from the scene.

not been saying exactly what the reason was behind this accident happen, so a lot of questions still remain. as of now he has been charged with reckless driving, but more charges could come if and when they know more about and why it happened. what do we know about the migrant centre that was hit? this is an area filled with catholic charities and they were helping some of these macros, and in particular venezuelan migrants who had been coming across the southern border in the united states. these are individuals who had already gone through some other processing and they were headed to their future destinations, making their way through texas. it is a centre that provided shelter for some of these individuals, especially men. they provided clothing and aid for people trying to come into the country seeking aid. trying to come into the country seeking aid-— trying to come into the country seeking aid. trying to come into the country seekin: aid. . ., ., , ~ seeking aid. what an awful week in texas with this _ seeking aid. what an awful week in texas with this coming _ seeking aid. what an awful week in

attack overnight in kyiv, you can see the extent of the damage. 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. 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 the city's questionable strategic value. our correspondent, hugo bachega, is in kyiv with the latest developments. i am standing right in front of a building hit by the debris that fell from a drone that was intercepted during this latest wave of russian attacks here in kyiv. the air raid alert sounded

shortly before midnight. we heard loud explosions in the capital. the officials said this was because air defence had been activated to intercept those drones that were used by russia. it was the fourth time in eight days that kyiv came under attack and the authorities said this morning that russia had fired 35 drones, those iranian—made drones that russia has been using to attack towns and cities and that all of them were intercepted by country's air defence systems. again, it shows how important the air defence system has been in protecting cities and towns from these russian air strikes. the city of odesa was also hit, apparently by a missile. and a warehouse was hit. and the security guard of this

facility was killed, according to the authorities there. here in kyiv, the mayor said five people were wounded in this district as a result of this attack. we are seeing that russia is stepping up these air strikes, targeting places away from the front lines, as the ukrainian authorities say they are finishing their plans for this much anticipated counteroffensive to try to take back territory that is now under russian occupation. and if we can just focus on bakhmut for a second, can you give us a sense of where the war is going there because we have heard that the wagner group boss has now got what he asked for, which is more ammunition, but strategically, bakhmut does not have a clear importance, so what is actually happening there? we know that the russian forces have made some progress there in bakhmut and they...

the russian efforts there have been led by the wagner group, which is this mercenary group, led by yevgeny prigozhin, and i think the ukrainian strategy here has been to try to keep the russians busy there and engage them in a war of attrition, to inflict heavy losses on the russian side. we know that this battle for bakhmut, the longest battle in this war, has been extremely deadly for both russia and ukraine. the russian side has suffered very heavy losses, potentially with more than 10,000 of those wagner fighters being killed during this battle. and i think the strategy from the ukrainian side has been to keep the russians engaged in this battle, as they prepare for this much anticipated counteroffensive. the ukrainians hve now received the equipment promised by western countries and i think this counteroffensive could happen

at any moment now really. the report from kyiv on this latest attacks and counterattacks. eu chief ursula von der leyen is ging to visit kyiv tomorrow accourding to her spokeperson. she will be talking with ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky. it said the visit will focus on all aspects of european union's relations with ukraine. one thing likely to be discussed is the fact ukraine is still trying to join the european union. we will bring you more on that as we have it. that breaking news, we understand ursula van der leyen it will be meeting with volodymyr zelensky in ukraine.

rehearsals are well under way in liverpool for the eurovision song contest. the city is hosting the event on behalf of last year's winners, ukraine, with the first stage of the competition on tuesday. and this year's eurovision entrants have been taking part in a welcome ceremony at st george's hall in liverpool. this is loreen, from sweden arriving to the red carpet which is actually turquoise for sponsorship reasons. loreen won in 2012 and she's back in the competition as one of the favourites with her song tattoo. it wasn't just king charles who received a crown over the weekend. a gloucestershire town also held a ceremony to honour its official "coronation chicken".
