live from london. this is bbc news. millions of people across the uk are taking part in community events — to mark the final day of king charles�* coronation. but there's been controversy too —— london's metropolitan police faces growing criticism over its detention of dozens of anti—monarchy protesters. sudan's warring military factions are holding talks that many hope will bring about a ceasefire to allow aid in. this to allow aid in. has been a long and dangerous journey. this has been a long and dangerous journey. but for some, the challenges are onlyjust beginning.

hello and welcome to the programme. as celebrations to mark the coronation of king charles enter the final day, people across the uk are taking part in community events. the "big help out" is urging britons to take on volunteering roles and members of the royal family have been dropping in on some of the projects. charlotte gallagher reports. after the glitz and glamour of the coronation concert, today's celebrations come down to earth. scouts and their volunteer leaders are just some of the thousands of people taking part in the big help out. and a famous face is getting involved too. it makes us all a better person when we get involved. we extend our network and meet new people and develop new friendships. we feel like we are doing something positive. and i love that. members of the royal family are at some of the events, including the prince and princess of wales and their children.

they've been in slough, helping the scouts with a bit of building work, with prince louis keeping up with his older brother, getting behind the controls of a digger. members of the royal family are at some of the events. the duke and duchess of edinburgh have been meeting some guide dogs at a taster session for volunteers. while the princess royal is at gloucester cathedral for a service to thank people helping their communities. i think i'll help out with the strawberries. and the prime minister rishi sunak and his wife akshata murthy are being put to work in a kitchen in hertfordshire. the big help out is about bringing people together, something the prince of wales said it was incredibly important to his dad. my father has always understood that people of all faiths and all backgrounds and all communities deserve to be celebrated and supported.

today marks the end of the coronation spectacular. where royalty, world leaders, superstars and even kermit the frog came together to celebrate. the coronation has also drawn attention to policing in the capital. dozens of demonstrators were arrested — including members of republic, an anti—monarchy group. we know that the metropolitan police made 64 arrests on saturday. out of those, 4 have been charged — the rest have been bailed. scotland yard said their officers had acted proportionately. graham smith is the ceo of republic — he was one of those arrested on saturday. we intended to be in large numbers on trafalgar square near the procession route, as well as having smaller groups along the procession route and we were very clear about that with the metropolitan police, over the last four months and they repeatedly said, right up until friday that they had

no concerns about our protest plans, they were well aware of what we were going to do and they would engage with us and not obstruct us. they have repeatedly lied about their intentions and i believe they had every intention of arresting us prior to doing so. our correspondent sanchia berg has more on this. i spoke today to the metropolitan police. they said the commissioner wasn't able to respond today, but he might be able later in the week. meanwhile, a little bit more information about those people who have been charged. as you said, over 60 people, 64 people were arrested. of those, only four have been charged. two have not been charged with any kind of public order offence. they have been charged with possession of class a drugs. two others have been charged with a public offence, but this is a pre—existing part of the act, a pre—existing law, which allows people to be arrested for causing harassment, alarm or distress. what is interesting is that there

has been a huge amount of discussion about the new parts of the public order act that just came into force last week. people haven't yet been charged under those new provisions. as i said, they have been charged under the old provisions. it is likely there will be a growing conversation about these events over the next few days and weeks. the prime minister has today, as you said, defended the police, but questions will be raised by the london assembly, certainly. they have been talking about that today. and of course, mps have been expressing their views also. while the coronation fades, if you like, this is an issue that is likely to get more media interest over the next few days and weeks. to sudan now. fighting between the two sides continues. fighterjets have been heard flying over omdurman near khartoum and residents have heard anti—aircraft fire from rsf positions. at same time, talks in saudi arabia about a temporary

humanitarian ceasefire. humanitarian ceasefire are ongoing. the talks began in jeddah on saturday. both sides said they would take part so civilians can get supplies and humanitarian aid can be given out. but they have not yet committed to ending the war through dialogue. day and night, the mass movement of people out of sudan continues. a conflict now in its third week has left a trail of human suffering. kristina peters is desperate for medical attention. she travelled hundreds of kilometres while injured. an explosive device hit her home in sudan's capital, khartoum. like millions of other people, she was trapped in the urban warfare.

translation: i have shrapnel in my leg, four injuries - here in my back and three here in my arm. i went to hospital and we found the army there. the doctors said i should be taken for surgery, but the army refused. the doctorjust gave me antibiotics and put dressings on me. that's sudan, just over on the horizon. and this is another group of people coming in. every day, thousands of people crossing this no man's land between sudan and south sudan. this has been a long and dangerous journey, but for some of them, the challenges are onlyjust beginning. most of the people crossing into south sudan are south sudanese nationals. many had fled north because of the war in their own country, but have now been forced to return. the people at this temporary camp

have no one to take them in and the government says it cannot help. maria's baby, sunday, is malnourished. she's unable to breast—feed and without any money, she can't buy her formula milk. she doesn't know where help will come from to work. translation: when i reached the transit centre, _ they didn't give me anything. just water. and today morning, they give us a small amount of food. it is not enough. even now, i'm hungry. i'm worried about my children. the world food programme is providing basic meals to the new arrivals, but it was already supporting millions of people in south sudan and it has had to take food from them to help those newly displaced. we're already overstretched with the level of the resources for already existing programmes

supporting the south sudanese. so now with the incoming influx, it's overstraining the resources. the people living in this transit centre have to shelter in university buildings, abandoned because of a recent civil war here in south sudan. the people, the politics, the business interests in this region are so intertwined that a conflictjust across the border in sudan has the potential of further destabilising this country and so many others in this region. this is a part of the world where generations have faced war and displacement. hopes that a new chapter was being written are quickly fading. katherine byaruhanga, bbc news, on the border between south sudan and sudan. ukrainian officials say at least three civilians have been killed and more than 14 wounded in the last 2a hours, in the latest wave of

russian missile and drone attacks. the overnight attacks, across ten regions of ukraine, were the fourth such wave in just over a week. 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. here's our correspondent hugo bachega in kyiv. it was the fourth time in eight days that kyiv came under attack and authorities say this building was hit by debris that fell from a drone that was intercepted by air defence. we heard the air raid alert

here shortly before midnight and the all clear came only three and a half hours later. we spoke to a resident in one of the affected homes. what do you think is the russian goal with these attacks, targeting places like kyiv, away from the front line? their target is to terrorise our civilian people because they can't fight on the field, fight the field. and they try to terrorise. the ukrainian military said russia had fired 35 drones in this latest wave of attacks, those iranian made drones that russia has been using to attack ukrainian cities and towns. and that the ukrainian military intercepted all those drones. the region of odesa also came under attack. a warehouse was hit in the south of the country. and in recent weeks, russia has

intensified these air strikes, targeting places like kyiv, away from the front lines. this happens as the ukrainian authorities say they are finishing plans for a much anticipated counteroffensive to try to take back territory that is now under russian occupation. talking about the risks over the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the professor in nuclear engineering at the university of llublijana and president of the european nuclear society — leon cizelj told us more about his concerns. i am worried about the pressures on people working in the zaporizhzhia power plant and theirfamily, which is about more than one year. but i am not a very much worried about some serious nuclear consequences of a potential accident in the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plants right now. so you're not worried about a full scale problem,

but you mention the conditions of the workers there. what are your concerns there? on one side, the reactors are not operating now, since september, which is around eight months. so, the potential to spread a lot of radioactive material in the environment is actually very low. on the other hand, people are still working there, because it still needs to be cooled and operated in a way, operators must be there, and maintained and so on. so these people are really working in incredibly difficult conditions, as far as i understand. and you're not worried then, about a threat of what russia could do if and when a spring offensive occurs, and it leaves the area, and potentially malicious actions? even if that would happen, i don't really believe that will happen,

because it is a russian government. and russians are still the major constructors of nuclear reactors worldwide on the planet. so i don't think they will do this. even if they do it, the damage will be mostly limited to the immediate vicinity of the plant at this stage. that is the situation after eight months of the reactors being shut down. it is really calm already. and so quickly, i'm afraid, what would you like to see happen now to secure the safety of the plant? if there is an offensive going on or being prepared, i will probably be really stress for a while, but i will probably be most happy of both sides don't really touch the nuclear power plants now and in the future.

not to touch, in military terms, of course. live now to new york, where the civil trial continues for donald trump accused of rape. jean carrol, who is 79, has sued trump, alleging he sexually assaulted her in a changing room at the luxury bergdorf goodman department store in manhattan in the mid—1990s. she also claims that trump then defamed her when he called her "a complete con job" after she went public with the allegation in 2019. trump has repeatedly and strenuously denied the allegations. live now to our correspondent nada tawfik who is in new york. hi there. what has been happening? the lawyer has been laying out her file appear to jurors telling them that they must hold donald trump accountable for raping and defaming her client, jean carrol who was looking out throughout this closing

statement. she described her as brave and her testimony had incredible and consistent and powerful and she said that they had called ii powerful and she said that they had called 11 other witnesses who all back to her friends, called 11 other witnesses who all back to herfriends, two called 11 other witnesses who all back to her friends, two other called 11 other witnesses who all back to herfriends, two other women who alleged donald trump also sexually assaulted them in a similar fashion. so the lawyer appealed to thejury fashion. so the lawyer appealed to the jury saying it is our witnesses, jean carrol, versus donald trump, one person. pointing out that he never showed to court. saying the jury never showed to court. saying the jury would have to believe in a big lie, a conspiracy that all of these people were perjuring themselves and lying in order to take donald trump down. she said that was absurd, it was ridiculous and that in fact, while donald trump's case was so thin, they did not present any witnesses or evidence, that much of what he said during the deposition had actually helped their case. he said he showed himself as a habitual liar on things like the fact that he never shopped at bergdorf goodman as he claimed. that was proven wrong

during the trial. that he never met jean carrol. she had a photo showing that they had. she also brought up the incredibly embarrassing moment for donald trump when he confused jean carrol for his ex—wife also showing that his claim thatjean carrol was not his time will was also a lie. so there she was making that final appeal tojurors also a lie. so there she was making that final appeal to jurors saying that it was her client that was credible and given that it was a civil case, the burden of proof was lower than a criminal trial. she said all they had to find was that it was more likely than not that donald trump defamed and raped jean carrol. . ~' , ., , donald trump defamed and raped jean carrol. . ~ , ., , . donald trump defamed and raped jean carrol. ., ~ i. , . ., carrol. thank you very much for that. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. it all started in the mid fifties. i got picked out as a decent goalkeeper.

football has and always will be a big part of andrew killen�*s life. he's one of the oldest referees in the country. so when he was told he had a leaky heart valve that could affect his quality of life, he was more than willing to be the first person in the uk to undergo a new valve replacement procedure. make me feel a little bit special, really. i've got a new lease of life. i can go to the gym in a relaxed state and just meet my friends there. this procedure typically takes an hour to an hour and a half to do. the patient does not need to go to itu. they go home the following day or the day after that. andrew says he is now more determined than ever to keep fit and take care of his brand new valve. you're live with bbc news. the government in serbia has launched a gun amnesty.

people who hold weapons and ammunition without permits will be able to leave them at police stations with no questions asked. the move to take guns out of circulation follows two mass shootings in the past week. the amnesty lasts for 30 days. live now to our balkans correspondent, guy de launey, who is in ljubljana in slovenia. what is the thinking behind this amnesty? the what is the thinking behind this amnes ? ~ , ., amnesty? the thinking is that there are eiuht amnesty? the thinking is that there are eight awful _ amnesty? the thinking is that there are eight awful lot _ amnesty? the thinking is that there are eight awful lot of— amnesty? the thinking is that there are eight awful lot of illegally - are eight awful lot of illegally held weapons in serbia. if you look at the small arms survey from 2018 that suggests that serbia has the third largest number of guns held by its citizens. 39 weapons per 100 people in serbia. i think only about seven out of 100 are legally permitted. so the government led by aleksandar vucic saying that we somehow have to get these weapons out of circulation. amnesty his

latest way to do this. there have been previous ones but obviously this one has a greater sense of purpose and a greater sense of urgency. and aleksandar vucic says that those who don't comply at the end of the 30 day period will face harsh measures. just end of the 30 day period will face harsh measures.— end of the 30 day period will face harsh measures. just remind us of those two cases _ harsh measures. just remind us of those two cases that _ harsh measures. just remind us of those two cases that have led - those two cases that have led to this. ~ ., ., ~ , ., those two cases that have led to this. ., ., ~ , ., , this. we had on wednesday a shooting at a school in — this. we had on wednesday a shooting at a school in belgrade. _ this. we had on wednesday a shooting at a school in belgrade. the _ this. we had on wednesday a shooting at a school in belgrade. the suspect i at a school in belgrade. the suspect but that is a 13—year—old boy who was a student at the school. and he shot and killed eight of his classmates according to the authorities. as well as a member of school staff with multiple other people in hospital. some still being treated. less than 48 hours after that, late on thursday evening, around 50 km south of the capital there was another incident this time involving a young man and an automatic weapon and eight people were killed in that series of shooting. in several locations

around. there was a night long manhunt before he was apprehended. thank you very much for that. a day of national mourning is being held in the democratic republic of congo where more than 400 bodies have been recovered after floods and landslides. many people are still missing and are feared to be under mud that covered two villages close to the shore of lake kivu, in the country's eastern region. a government delegation from the capital kinshasa has been sent to the area — four days after the floods and landslides hit. the congolese doctor and nobel peace prize winner denis mukwege has criticised the fact that the victims were buried in mass graves. he has called for more dignified burials. gisa kohler, the head of operations for drc with medicins sans frontieres, told me about the scale of the devastation. according to the teams we have in place in the places that are most

touched by this natural catastrophe, it is quite catastrophic. as you already mentioned, there are now more than 400 dead people recorded, and every day, there are more coming up, because they are still looking for the dead people. we have 4,000 people missing, according to the government authorities. more than 100 wounded, of which, 56 were admitted at the hospital, and some have to be referred to be assisted with our teams. give us an idea the scale of that, what help and assistance are you able to provide?

give us an idea, before the flooding and landslides, what were the states of those medical facilities, infrastructure and supplies there? there, i cannot give you details, because we were not in place. i would not be able to give you very detailed information about this one. sure. what about what is needed next? according to our team, there is an urgent need for the population. i mentioned, there are three quarters of the population in one area that is not existing any more, it raised by the landslides. a big part of the population without any housing any more, and half of the village in another place. there are many people sleeping out in the open. we were not able to provide any kind of non—food item distribution, blankets, plastic sheeting, jerry cans. we could not do this. they need food because they lost everything. the floods and landslides took away the cattle, the crops. they lost everything. there is nothing. the population who still have houses are not able, because of the space, to provide, they can provide as much as they can, but they can't take care of three quarters of the village, for example. there is urgent need for assistance

for supply of non—food items, shelter and food. to my knowledge, there arrived today a team of the food programme, and the team of the who. i think that slow the other actors are coming to support. nasa has launched two satellites from new zealand —— designed to monitor tropical storms and improve its ability to predict weather disasters. the new storm trackers are able to fly over hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones every hour —— allowing researchers to see how they evolve. the satellites currently in use transmit such data every six hours. more timely information on rainfall, temperature and humidity could help scientists determine where a tropical storm will make landfall and how intense it will be. it's one of the last places you'd expect to see it — but there's been snow falling in parts of australia. these are pictures

from the town of oberon — about 120 kilometres west of sydney. it's located high up in the blue mountains, and usually receives a dusting once or twice a year. these falls have been caused by a cold front moving over parts of the east coast. the front has also led to massive surf conditions at the beach — this was the view from bondi beach on monday. 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". god save the chick queen. hip, hip, hooray! buffy beat 33 other chickens who'd applied for the role, in cinderford. an estimated one thousand people turned up to watch the crowning,

which took place immediately after the weekend's other coronation service, in westminster abbey. this is bbc news. some warm sunshine in the next couple of days but don't leave home without a umbrella because what the sunshine will do in the next few daysis sunshine will do in the next few days is inject energy into quite an unstable atmosphere and we will see clouds like these across our skies and some potentially heavy showers developing with hail and thunder at times. low pressure basically keeping the weather across the uk unsettled. as you go to the majority of this week we have a band of pretty heavy rain which will gradually pull clear of eastern england through the early part of tuesday. following on from the intense showers out of northern ireland into england overnight some heavier ones from the north east of

scotland. it is a very night mild night to come. temperatures largely in double figures. they are sitting in double figures. they are sitting in some pretty warm air but that is all part of the reason why things will become so thundery. you start the day without rain across eastern counties of england come out of the way i think a bit boring and then comes the stench of which to feel pleasantly warm just late —— light winds up by the afternoon we will start to see showers developing in some areas. they were clustered together into long spells of rain. some areas may stay dry altogether. weather downpours to develop they are likely to be pretty intense. 17-18 are likely to be pretty intense. 17—18 as high the cooler if you are caught in showers. low pressure sets the tone for our weather throughout the tone for our weather throughout the majority of the week ahead and occasionally we will see showers coming across in these more organised bands. with that will mean is some areas, spells of rain will be more relentless, more prolonged, some areas may well experience relatively dry story. but by wednesday afternoon, there is a chance of seeing a showerjust about anywhere and some pretty heavy rain

in the short space of time. doubly not to be ruled out. so i was the coming while lot to be ruled out. so i was becoming quite like the surface water in spray and a bit coolerfor surface water in spray and a bit cooler for wednesday. heights of 15-70 . cooler for wednesday. heights of 15—70 . low pressure still with us across the uk wednesday into thursday. it starts to become a slightly weaker affair but actually if anything, all later wednesday is mean the showers to move through quite so quickly. so if anything, perhaps on thursday if you do find yourself in a downpour you could be stuck with it for a slightly longer period of time. friday, it looks like we may see a ridge of high pressure heading our way and something drier to it and the week.

this is bbc news. the headlines... millions of people across the uk are taking part in community events to mark the final day of king charles' coronation. but there's been controversy too... london's metropolitan police faces growing criticism over its detention of dozens of anti—monarchy protesters. sudan's warring military factions are holding talks that many hope will bring about a ceasefire to allow aid in. the prime minister of the caribbean nation of st kitts and nevis has

told the bbc his country will not be totally free as long
