live from london. this is bbc news. there is a growing demand for f16 fighterjet training for ukrainian pilots as russia raises concerns over nato�*s role in the conflict. 16 years on, portuguese police are preparing to search a reservoir in connection with the disappearance of british girl, madeleine mccann. and meta, the owner of facebook and instagram appeals against a $1 billion fine for breaking european union regulations. hello, welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world.

the dutch foreign minister has said the training of ukrainian pilots on f—16 fighter pilots on f—16fighterjets should start sooner rather than later. the remark comes after the us president joe biden support for the joint ally training programme. you may remember, on friday president biden said he will support delivery of fighterjets to ukraine by allowing western allies to supply them. in the last few hours russia's ambassador to the us has responded. he questions how effective this will be. he said... �*there is no infrastructure for the operation of the f16 in ukraine and the needed number of pilots and maintenance personnel, is not there either.�* he also said... �*any ukrainian strike on crimea would be considered a strike on russia.�* �*it is important that the us be fully aware of the russian response�*. second important update to bring you. these conflicting claims about who controls what in the eastern city of bakhmut.

ukraine�*s deputy defence minister says, its troops are still advancing on the outskirts of the city. and have a small presence inside bakhmut itself. but in a video posted on saturday, we hear from the founder of the wagner group. the russian backed mercenery fighters. he claims his men were in full control. we�*re going to take a look now at the russian defences as it prepares for ukrainian counter attack. our brand new unit here bbc verify has been investigating. here�*s our analysis editor ros atkins. crane is expected to launch an offensive soon and beeps e—verify has been looking at its defences. here is the front line with rush —controlled territory marked in red. we have highlighted bakhmut because the city has hosted some of the fiercest fighting of this work and we know that around it both sides have used trenches. this is a ukrainian soldier. trenches are a part of how russia is fortifying the front line. as a process that has been mapped by the open source

analysts. everyone of these black marks is a new russian fortification. and we will focus on a couple of locations. all this city a couple of locations. all this city a small but strategic one. here it is on the south of the satellite image. with ukraine�*s positions further north. look with the russians have done. they put in a first offensive line, a second and then a third defensive line around then a third defensive line around the city itself. also in ukrainian media there are reports that rush is removing civilians from the city in order to further fortify. —— russians. we can understand fortifications looking at this sci—fi —— a satellite image. first you have artillery positions than a trench network then what are called dragon c. concrete obstacles designed to stop tanks in their tracks. also aimed at teens our ditches. dug out by vehicles like this. and you can see an anti—think that in this fortification is the very first line of defence. so that is one location. a second the bbc

verify has looked at is the crimean peninsula which is indexed by russia in 2014. this image comes from the west coast of crimea. you can see dragon�*s teeth began running up the coast of the black sea. he could see further north the bunker and also the strange, bbc verify estimates that rents for 15 miles along the coast also piles of wood to reinforce trenches. 0ngoing work of the russians and then this fortification here could be used by a tank or armoured vehicle that�*s missing out to see though we should emphasise it is far if ukraine has the capacity to attack hermia from the capacity to attack hermia from the sea. what is here —— is certain is the scale of fortification along the front line. now i ways to see if ukraine attacks i spoke to andriy zagorodiuk currently the adviser to ukraine minister of defence and formerly the defence minister himself and asked him what he thought of the scale of the russian fortifications...

we have been in position of war with russia for around nine years and clearly it does stop only if you are paying attention to some area and put some capabilities in the area. however if you�*re talking about the combined operations like a substantial offensive campaign most of those fortifications will be useless and of course in some cases it would make sense to surround that area or bypass the area. if you look at the crimean for example. clearly this is just a at the crimean for example. clearly this isjust a one part of at the crimean for example. clearly this is just a one part of the crimean bank which of course is fast and ukraine don�*t have any plans of operations in the area which means operations in the area which means operations from the land to the shore so clearly those people are getting ready to do something which ukraine does not currently even planning. and also if we start crimean operation like for the

future which we may, it certainly is not going to start from that particular location and that particular location and that particular part of the sea. it will start most likely from the shore and closer to the mainland to crane. so there is opinion that this fortification are mainly done to do something and to show to the upper leadership of the russian army that there is some operation happening. white back so in your view this is more of a show of russians doing to themselves and their own bosses. what about let�*s get onto the counter offensive something that will be absolutely crucial, these fighterjets. we have heard from european leaders support now for the training how significant you think that is? of course training as part of the capability formula so without training nothing can happen and we also should talk about training for because maintenance is extremely

challenging task for ukraine. but we will already discussion training with a number of countries and we were discussing logistical training and support maintenance and support training and also there is discussions on the actual planes and infrastructure support. so this is a serious endeavour. we are talking about months of time so it�*s not going to happen tomorrow. 0r about months of time so it�*s not going to happen tomorrow. or even for these next couple of months but certainly something we will see this year. 50 certainly something we will see this ear. , , , ., year. so we will see it this year it will take months. _ year. so we will see it this year it will take months. does _ year. so we will see it this year it will take months. does that - year. so we will see it this year it| will take months. does that mean year. so we will see it this year it i will take months. does that mean a large spring offensive it is basically, there is a chance of that now. will we wait until they have the right fighterjets and the right fighter jets and capability the right fighterjets and capability in the skies before anything is launched? i capability in the skies before anything is launched? i don't think so i think anything is launched? i don't think so i thinkwill_ anything is launched? i don't think so i think will launch _ anything is launched? i don't think so i think will launch it _ anything is launched? i don't think so i think will launch it without - so i think will launch it without because to wait for the fighter jets in the sky we will need to insult the basically the later this year. cannot lose that time so i believe our commanders will start this

so there are parts of the city suburbs in basically the sides of the city where ukraine maintains control. also, ukrainian forces maintain control surrounding certain areas. so even if the russians forces or wagner forces are present in the city, does not that can exercise full control. 50 in the city, does not that can exercise full control. so does that mean ou exercise full control. so does that mean you or _ exercise full control. so does that mean you or are _ exercise full control. so does that mean you or are planning - exercise full control. so does that mean you or are planning to - exercise full control. so does that l mean you or are planning to launch exercise full control. so does that i mean you or are planning to launch a counteroffensive relatively soon to recapture parts of bakhmut? i think it will beat imminent _ recapture parts of bakhmut? i think it will beat imminent but _ recapture parts of bakhmut? i think it will beat imminent but i - recapture parts of bakhmut? i think it will beat imminent but i cannot i it will beat imminent but i cannot comment on the timing, specific timing. this is of course something we are not disclosing that our specific plans for the near future. some interesting insights there into the decision—making and the battle on the ground. we do have a quick update on some of the fighting on the ground. russian officials say the ground. russian officials say the army is fighting a group of saboteurs have crossed the border

from ukraine. explosions, gunfire have been heard from the day in the region and the government says counterterrorism operations are under way and security has been tightened, civilians can be evacuated from the area. none of the report says the sabotage of your pets artillery tanks and had seen building. ukraine has denied any involvement in the intact and has blamed russian paramilitaries. 0ur blamed russian paramilitaries. our team at bbc verify her taking a look at some of the ditch coming out of there and once they have their assessments of course we will bring that to you. —— footage. police in portugal are investigating a new lead in the disappearnace of madeleine mccann the british three—year—old who disappeared while on a family holiday in southern portugal. specialist teams will carry out a search of a reservoir. around 50 km from the hotel where she was last known to be.

local media reported this area sealed off ahead of the search that is expected to start tomorrow morning. it will be the first major search in this case since 2014. madeleine mccann disappeared days before her fourth birthday. madeleine mccann disappeared days before herfourth birthday. despite her case being one of the most high—profile missing person cases ever known has been charged in connection with her disappearance. her parents have always maintained hope of finding her doctor but german police leading the investigation are treating it as a murder inquiry. madeleine mccann vanished for her room at the ocean club on the 3rd of may 2007 as her parents who were in a restaurant 100 yards away. despite months of extensive searching no trace was found. in 2008 at private search of the revs were are funded by a portuguese lawyer found a bag of small bones but they were not sent

to be of interest of the case. it is here police will search again tomorrow. the surrounding area of the dam is around 50 km away from where the family was staying. and it is a place that you have been visited by this man. he is being treated as a suspect by portuguese and german police. he is currently serving seven years in resin for the rape of a woman in portugal in 2005. he has never been charge of the disappearance of madeleine mccann and might any involvement but he will need lived nearfive and might any involvement but he will need lived near five when the family was on college bay. the last significant search in this inquiry was nine years ago. and was led by british police as part of an investigation that cost more than £10 million. madeleine mccann would have been 20 this month. the search for the little girl who disappeared 16 years ago continues. i spoke to our correspondent at the latest. , , .,

and the investigations have taken them all around the world looking for the answers and none have been forthcoming. and as a say, madeleine mccann would have been 20 this year and yet that iconic image, the image that everyone remembers is of the little girl looking into the camera who was just shortly before her fourth birthday when she disappears from that family apartment in portugal all those years ago. and as a say, no one has been charged in the connection with the disappearance of madeleine mccann. her parents as i say, continue to hope that they will find her but the german police very much are treating this as a murder inquiry. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. the train now approaching does not stop here yet. but it soon will. the first new station to be built within reading cosmic boundaries in it over

a century opens to the public a week on saturday, may 27. workers are putting the finishing touches to the new stop on the line between reading and basingstoke. it has been built with an eye towards future growth. what we have done here is police station which is fit for the future. so two and three carriage trains running now but in the future those could well expand two of 26 carriages beyond with automatic closing doors. carriages beyond with automatic closing doom-— carriages beyond with automatic closing doors. carriages beyond with automatic closin: doors. , ~ , ., ., closing doors. greenpark started out as a site for — closing doors. greenpark started out as a site for business _ closing doors. greenpark started out as a site for business but _ closing doors. greenpark started out as a site for business but it - closing doors. greenpark started out as a site for business but it is - closing doors. greenpark started out as a site for business but it is now i as a site for business but it is now as a site for business but it is now a sizeable spill over from writing itself. these the latest of more than 1179 homes being built here. it is all part of the explanation why this will be one of a handful of new stations open this year. you�*re live with bbc news. meta the owner of facebook and instagram says it will appeal against a one billion dollarfine

for breaking european union regulations. the social media company has been accused of breaching data protection rules by illegally transferring data from europe to the us. the rules were brought in because of concern that users�* information could be accessed by american intelligence agencies. meta has described the punishment as unjustified and unnecessary. i asked technology expert paul armstrong to explain just what was going on... the eu certainly doesn�*t think so at the moment they have actually, a landmark ruling. never been done before the size. the only other one that was three courses back was against amazon. it is a big dealfor both parties not only does meta have over 225 million users in the eu block as it were, that is a quarter of their business so a business a big dealfor them if they have of their business so a business a big deal for them if they have to do any change which is what the eu wants them to do. there is underlying legislation go through courts the moment. so that is why

strike action. they will go on strike action. they will go on strike injune. after in their words, the government fails to make credible pay offer. so some of the details that we have just a couple in now. 72 hour walk out is but the strike will be. it will take place on wednesday the 14th ofjune. and saturday the 17th ofjune. so the walk—out will take place between oh 700, 7am in the morning on the 14th and june and 700 the morning on the 17th ofjune. a little detail on why the distracted on the strike action a quote here from the bma which is the british medical association are saying, since april�*s strikes we have had three weeks of negotiations with the government seeking a deal that fully restores pay for junior doctors after a more than 26% drop of their known over the last 15 years. that clearly has not happened

and so the bma has announced these new strike dates. we will get more on that sp get it. now that we will stay in the uk. since 2006, uk prime ministers have been able to call on a specially appointed ethics adviser to advise the resident of number 10 downing street how to tackle those occasionally difficult issues which can arise in the business of government. most leaders hope the job will be very low profile but today, rishi sunak has had to consult the adviser in a very public way. at issue one of the most senior members of the cabinet the home secretary suella braverman seen here arriving to the questions no politician likes to have shouted at them, at downing street. why is she under pressure? it all starts with her being caught speeding while driving last year. that meant she had a choice of punishments either to go on a speed awareness course, which effectively avoids a conviction or to pay a fine, and have penalty points added to her driving licence. the bbc has been told that she asked officials if it was possible to arrange a private speed awareness course arguing that there were security concerns if she went on a group event. but when she learned this was not possible, she paid the fine instead. the issue is not to do with speeding that�*s been dealt with but rather,

whether she broke the ministerial code something which is taken very seriously at westminster. ms braverman went on the record today to insist that she was only asking for advice and therefore she did nothing wrong... last summer i was speeding i took the fine and took the points. did ou ask the fine and took the points. did you ask silver servants to put you in a one—on—one? in you ask silver servants to put you in a one-on-one?_ you ask silver servants to put you in a one-on-one? in relation to the rocess in a one-on-one? in relation to the process i am _ in a one-on-one? in relation to the process i am focused _ in a one-on-one? in relation to the process i am focused on _ in a one-on-one? in relation to the process i am focused on deliveringl process i am focused on delivering for the british people. what i will say is that in my view i am confident that nothing untoward has happened. you confident that nothing untoward has ha ened. ., . , , happened. you have broken rules before, happened. you have broken rules before. you've — happened. you have broken rules before, you've had _ happened. you have broken rules before, you've had to _ happened. you have broken rules before, you've had to resign - happened. you have broken rules before, you've had to resign over| before, you�*ve had to resign over breaking ministerial code you have admitted to having a speeding fine, you�*ve accused of breaking the code for a second time. how good a look is it for a senior politician one of the most senior in the country to be viewed as a constant rule breaker? i got a speeding ticket. i paid the fine into the points and my view nothing untoward has happened. it�*s now up to ms braverman�*s boss prime minister rishi sunak what to do. the leader of the opposition, labour�*s sir keir starmer, says doing nothing is not an option... the ministerial code is clear that if you _ the ministerial code is clear that if you break it you are supposed to

that is rules by which ministers have to work two and lived by. 0r she may not. and that is really what we are waiting to find out. but rishi sunak having returned from that gathering of world leaders, the g7 summit injapan, clearly in the future ready to rush to judgment or make a decision on this. meanwhile suella braverman singh as he saw just a couple of moments ago that as far she is concerned, nothing untoward has happened. and that is far she is concerned it should be the end of it but we might be surprised if it was. just the end of it but we might be surprised if it was. just remind us a bit of the _ surprised if it was. just remind us a bit of the background, - surprised if it was. just remind us a bit of the background, who - surprised if it was. just remind us a bit of the background, who is i a bit of the background, who is suella braverman? she a bit of the background, who is suella braverman?— a bit of the background, who is suella braverman? she is the home secretary at — suella braverman? she is the home secretary at the _ suella braverman? she is the home secretary at the moment, _ suella braverman? she is the home secretary at the moment, thereby l suella braverman? she is the home| secretary at the moment, thereby in charge of a huge briefing government, one of the most important and government, one of the most importantand i government, one of the most important and i think it fair to say difficultjobs given the sprawling nature of the home office and the wide variety of things that she has to take charge of. and be responsible for, immigration, law

and order and other topics. it is not unusualfor a home and order and other topics. it is not unusual for a home secretary to run into trouble, but this is not a matter of her policy brief for her actions in government. it is how she handled that speeding offence. that she was given last summer which she has accepted. that she ended up paying the fine and accepting the points on her licence. but it is all to do with how she handled that. whether or not she sought the advice of civil servants in order to arrange a private, one speed awareness training course rather than a group situation which she was said to be worried about because of the potential security risks. and whether that is appropriate, or was appropriate under the ministerial code. but she has an interesting role in the government. very much look to buy people on the part of the conservative party. members of parliament keen for the government to take a harder line on immigration and law in order. and it really is

of drizzle, but broadly speaking, it�*s a drier night with variable cloud, clear spells, temperatures typically 6—10 degrees. it mayjust get a little chillier than that briefly in one or two places. into tomorrow, high pressure�*s still with us, the high centred out in the atlantic, but extending its influence towards our shores. frontal systems, though, running across the top of the high, introducing more cloud into northern and northwestern parts of scotland, maybe northern ireland, too. could just be the odd spot of rain or drizzle. further south into england and wales, sunny spells, bit of patchy cloud bubbling up through the afternoon and a very small chance of catching a shower, but the vast majority staying dry. 11 degrees for lerwick, 20 for cardiff — it is going to be a slightly cooler day for some, but whatever the temperatures are doing, if there is sunshine overhead, uv levels are likely to be moderate or high — the sun is strong at this time of year. into wednesday, there will be more of that strong sunshine, particularly across england, wales. northern ireland and scotland seeing a band of cloud, maybe some patchy rain, but it is largely going to be dry. slightly warmer, actually — 21 for newcastle, cardiff, london,

18 in belfast and 17 in glasgow. later in the week, high pressure�*s still with us, but it is likely to shuffle its way eastwards and centre itself on top of us at least for a time. now, depending on exactly what this area of high pressure does and how it changes shape, we may, as we get into the weekend and next week, tap into some slightly warmer air from the near continent. there is some uncertainty about that, but it certainly looks like staying largely dry, feeling warm in any sunshine.
