point of the devastation of the use of nuclear weapons. it is one of the two cities that have suffered the direct consequences of nuclear weapons. especially in the midst of not only what is going on in ukraine but also what north korea has been up but also what north korea has been up to in recent times and for china to increase its proliferation of nuclear weapons, so those are the concerns that i am sure have played a role in the choice of hiroshima as a role in the choice of hiroshima as a host city. a role in the choice of hiroshima as a host city-— a role in the choice of hiroshima as ahostci . ., . ,., a host city. some of the concerns on the agenda — a host city. some of the concerns on the agenda as _ a host city. some of the concerns on the agenda as the _ a host city. some of the concerns on the agenda as the leaders _ a host city. some of the concerns on the agenda as the leaders meet - a host city. some of the concerns on the agenda as the leaders meet at i the agenda as the leaders meet at the agenda as the leaders meet at the g7. for the host nationjapan, the g7. for the host nationjapan, the growing influence of its neighbour china is a key concern. 0ur tokyo correspondence sent as this report from hiroshima. at the 0kinawa earpiece, these routine military exercises have become more

when they left that event. as they put it in a statement they were involved in... they went on to add... the new york police department says that, while numerous photographers made the transport of the duke and at a small challenging there were no reported injuries, collisions or arrests. the papers in the united states have had a rather mixed reaction to that statement from the duke and that. the new york daily news led with... that of course relates to the death of princess diana in 1997. the new york post called the cup of the duke and the episode as the harry and making drama show.

there was a more sober take on the story in the new york times, noting the frenzy that follows the duke and duchess�*s every move. harry and meghan have not spoken directly to the press — but we can hear now from someone who literally had a front row seat for what went on. sukhcharn singh — known to his friends as sonny — is the cab driver who was flagged down to pick up the couple, and a bodyguard, as they tried to switch vehicles as a way of avoiding the paparazzi. he's been talking to the media about what happened. i was going down e. 67th st and i see a car near me and he said are you empty, i go yes, he said are you looking for a fare? i said of course, so i pulled over to the right, and two minutes later i see three people hopping out of a black car, and right into my cab and it was prince harry and meghan and there was another woman with them as well. and as we drive straight, a

garbage truck was blocking us, it was picking up trash, and all of a sudden, paparazzi came out of nowhere and started flashing and taking pictures and they didn't stop until the security got out and said move, move, then the garbage truck got out of the way, and the paparazzi were following a car. of prince harry and his wife and another lady. they look nervous and scared. paparazzi came out of nowhere and started taking pictures. it was like a light show, all of a sudden with all the flashes. they never gave me a location where they were going, and the security guard told me, circle back and as we were, you can see the paparazzi car following my car. my feelings were normal, but i'm sure that there is were more intense, because of what, princess diana died in a car crashed running away from the paparazzi, so i think their emotions must have

been higher. i don't think there would have been an accident because there are laws not much traffic at that time but you never know, if one of the paparazzi decides to cut me off or something like that it is possible. i always tell people you don't know who you are going to pick up, so it proves my theory, you don't know who you are going to get in your car! let's get the view now of a paparazzi journalist — who was, we should stress, not involved in the incident in new york. nonetheless it is interesting to see how the aim i try to get those pictures. giles harrison's is based in los angeles — and he gave us the view from the other side of the lens. i think it is a bit of an exaggeration, a near catastrophic to our car— exaggeration, a near catastrophic to our car chase through the streets of new york, — our car chase through the streets of new york, it— our car chase through the streets of new york, it is probably not going to happen — new york, it is probably not going to happen. if you have ever been to new york, — to happen. if you have ever been to new york, you can barely get one mile _ new york, you can barely get one mile within— new york, you can barely get one mile within one hour. i'm sure that there _ mile within one hour. i'm sure that there was— mile within one hour. i'm sure that there was some kind of pursuit. i doubt _ there was some kind of pursuit. i doubt that— there was some kind of pursuit. i doubt that it was a high—speed james

longest reigning monarch, —— file past the coffin. it was followed very closely before the official state funeral itself on september 19. the british government publishing the cost of that, just shy of £162 million. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. we can bring you up—to—date for some other developing stories in the uk. a survey by citizens advice suggest more than 1 million the uk. a survey by citizens advice suggest more than1 million people cancelled broadband in the last year because of the cost of living. the charity said those struggling could have benefited from cheaper low—cost social tariffs. the watchdog 0fcom says 4.3 million eligible people are missing out on deals. a bbc investigation has revealed that britain has so far failed to fine thousands of foreign

companies for breaking a new transparency law. the legislation — introduced last year — required overseas companies with property in the uk to reveal their owners by the end of january. voters in northern ireland are going to the polls to decide who should represent them on 11 councils. a total of 807 candidates are competing for 462 seats in council chambers across the region. details of last week's year six sats reading test in england have been published, after some teachers and parents said it was so difficult, it left pupils in tears. you are alive with bbc news. water companies in england have apologised for failing to do enough to stop sewage from flowing into rivers and seas. last year there were 800 untreated discharges every day on average, causing mounting public anger. the water companies have promised to spend

£12 billion — or $12.5 billion — to put it right by modernising sewers — though it will mean higher bills for customers. our environment correspondent, jonah fisher, reports. for years, campaigners have complained about the amount of sewage that flows into our waterways and that profit has been put before the health of our rivers and beaches. england's water companies have always denied that. but today they came together to make an unprecedented apology. i am here on behalf of the water industry today to say sorry. we are sorry about the upset and the anger from the fact that there have been overspills of untreated sewage onto beaches and into rivers over the past few years. we are sorry that we did not act sooner. but we get it. they "get it" and propose spending £10 billion by 2030 — that's three times more than had been previously planned. if approved by the regulator, the money will go towards bigger pipes, upgraded sewage works, and huge tanks to stop sewage

overflowing when it rains. the money to fund these improvements, for places like this sewage treatment plant behind me, won't come out of the water companies' back pockets or the dividends they've paid out to their shareholders. ultimately, it will be paid for by you and i in the form of higher bills. welcome back to the today programme. who exactly is sorry? for campaigners in 0xfordshire listening to the apology, it was a sign they were at last making some progress. we will give ourselves a pat - on the back when the sewage stops wrecking our rivers and we start to see clean rivers again. - | in the meantime, we are not being| part of the greenwashing campaign, thank you very much. we want action. - you are somewhat sceptical of this apology then? sceptical, but enthused by the fact this - is starting to rattle government, i it's rattling the water industry. and it's rattling the regulators. the water companies will hope

this draws a line under their past failings and enables them to begin rebuilding, both the sewage network and the public�*s trust. here, the nurse lucy letby has accused hospital bosses of a "conspiracy" against her to cover up live now to 0ur north of england reporter, nick garnett. this trial started last october. by the time it competes injuly it will have gone through all four seasons. todayis have gone through all four seasons. today is the sixth day lucy letby has been in the witness box. up until now she has been giving her defence of her position and the allegations against her. today it has changed to the cross—examination. this is the prosecution talking to her, and going through the detail of what she

is alleged to have done, and her answering those questions. she faces 22 counts. they relate to 17 different children. she was charged with the murder of seven and the attempted murder of ten. she was accused of attacking the children with a variety of different means. she denies all charges. today under cross—examination, she said there was a conspiracy of medics who are trying to blame herfor what happened. she named four doctors, stephen murray, john gibbs and another doctor who cannot be named for legal reasons. she said there were any unit at the time of the deaths, between 20—5th —— 2015—16. she said that they might be doing it a try and cover up failings at hospital. johnson the chief prosecutor for the case asked why, what that conspiracy between the four was, and lucy letby said they have apportioned the blame on to me.

she was asked about two babies in the case, whom she is accused of poisoning with insulin. she agreed that both babies have been given insulin unlawfully, and said that it had not been given to them by her. she said i don't think anyone on the unit would have done it by mistake. she said if the cause of death of another baby was established as air embolism, by the injection of air into the stomach or into the bloodstream, it would have come from the person who had connected the fluid lines into that baby she said, and that wasn't me, she said that any nurse would know how dangerous that would be if air was injected but the has been told that earlier in the case, she was the only person present at the time of every one of these charges. her defence case is that she was single, she lived nearby, as she wasn't involved in a relationship which meant that she

could change shifts and be available to swap shifts at any time so she worked a lot of the time on a variety of shifts. the case is carrying on in the court behind me and is expected to continue until july. lucy letby will probably be in the witness box going into next week, as well.— the witness box going into next week, as well. ., week, as well. nick garnett, live at manchester — week, as well. nick garnett, live at manchester crown _ week, as well. nick garnett, live at manchester crown court, _ week, as well. nick garnett, live at manchester crown court, thank - week, as well. nick garnett, live at| manchester crown court, thank you. ukraine says there has been another wave of russian missile attacks overnight — targeting the capital, kyiv, and other cities. but — and we can't independently verify this — ukrainian officials say that of 30 missiles fired, 29 were shot down. russia says that all of its targets were destroyed. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale is kyiv. he spent the night listening to the sirens. another busy night over the capital. the ninth time the capital was targeted, we think, since the beginning of the month. we heard some explosions during the evening, we saw some smoke on the horizon.

and as you say, the army now says there were 30 missiles launched against kyiv and throughout the country, of which 29 were brought down by ukraine's air defences. 0ne managed to get through. here in the capital, as far as we know, nobody was injured. there was some damage to property in two eastern parts of the city as a result of debris from the incoming missile being hit by the intercepting missile and that was destroyed, but it creates debris that falls down and the damages property but if there is anybody underneath that can cause casualties. but we do know down in the south in 0desa one person was killed and two people were injured as part of these attacks. so another night, another set of attacks and a continuing theme, notjust targeting critical national infrastructure like power plants, but also really russia trying to focus on ukraine's air defences,

notjust to damaging them but also depleting them. ijust want i just want to show you some incredible pictures we have from bakhmut in the eastern donbas region. russian forces have spent months trying to capture it from its ukrainian defenders. there have been very few pictures that have emerged from the city but as you can see these drawing pictures, incredible, posted on social media by a ukrainian military team appearing to show as you —— artillery bombardment of quite clearly residential buildings on the outskirts of bakhmut. it is not known if anyone was inside them or if anyone was hurt or killed. most of the civilian population has left the city because of that intense fighting. both sides, as we have been reporting have suffered heavy casualties and, while the russian forces supported by the privately run wagon group have slowly been advancing, you get a sense from those pictures about just what is happening on the ground

in that city that is so intensely fought over. headlines coming up shortly. i will be back with world business report in a few minutes. stay with us here on bbc news. the food uk forecast in a minute. we will take a quick look at what is going on in italy where it looks like we'll see some further extreme rainfall across the north—west of the country world could see up to 300 millimetres of rain over the mountains, likely to lead some further severe flooding. weather—wise in the uk, quite a quiet picture with a strap of cloud coming in, running into an area of high pressure. just like spots of rain across northern ireland and into western scotland. some damp weather to come over the course of the afternoon across these areas. england and wales seeing hazy spells of sunshine but we will have a line of sunshine but we will have a line of showers developing across parts

of showers developing across parts of england stretching more or less from the wash, down to the area, driven by conversions, winds bashing together and shovelling moisture together and shovelling moisture together and shovelling moisture together and making showers. they will not be thundery but some of them could be quite sharp. temperatures in the high teens, should feel quite pleasant and tonight that with a friend continues tonight that with a friend continues to push southwards across scotland into northern england and north wales by the end of the night. temperatures railed about eight celsius for most of us so, not too cold start of the day on friday. —— roundabout. then some spots of rain across central and eastern england. some sharper showers around as well through the afternoon. scotland and northern ireland will have more in the way of sunshine so it should feel a bit warmer here. temperatures reaching around 18 in glasgow. still high teas for england and wales is not feeling too bad. into the weekend, that nasty area of low pressure looks like it is going to bring flooding to parts of italy.

then we will start to draw in easterly winds around its periphery so it has a distant effect on our shores because we will be dragging some slightly milder air in across england and wales mother should be some warm sunshine. scotland and northern ireland claudia with spots of rain. temperatures foremost in the high teas to the low 20s and whether sunshine comes out it will feel pretty pleasant. the second half of the weekend with the most cloudy weather across western areas, some spots of rain, nothing significant, england and wales, largely dry and feeling pleasant with hazy sunshine as temperatures can reach the high teens to low 20s.
