sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. hello from the bbc sport centre england manager sarina wiegman has announced her squad for the women's world cup and there's no place for the european championships player of the tournament. beth mead hasn't been risked, she's been recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury picked up last november. however, millie bright and lucy bronze who've also had injury problems are both included. bright will captain the squad in australia and new zealand. and striker beth england has earned herself a call—up after scoring 12 goals in 12 games for tottenham the approach is always, like we want to be at your best and that is what we are going for now, you talk a bit in transition now, so some changes in transition now, so some changes in the team but i still think we are really good and talented players, and we are going to make sure we can be at our best and then we see how far we be at our best and then

we see how far we get. full details of the squad are on the bbc sport website. there's a big cloud hanging over the world cup though. as yet, fans in many countries, including the uk, don't know where they'll be able to watch the matches. the british government, along with those in france, germany, italy and spain, have released a statement urging fifa and broadcasters to settle the matter, for the good of the women's game. jose mourinho has taken another swipe at his old club tottenham, ahead of the europa league final later. his side roma take on sevilla — and mourinho was eager to point out he's won all five european finals he's been involved in. he says he just needs to be given the time to succeed. in roma, they didn't sack me before the final, in tottenham they sack me before the final at wembley. roma gave me the chance to win the final, and at tot family i had to chance. england captain ben stokes says

the only way he won't take a full part in the ashes this summer is if he "can't walk". he's had problems with a persistent knee injury, and only played two games for chennai super kings in the indian premier league because of issues with his foot. but the all—rounder says he used his time in india to work on his fitness to improve his chances of bowling this summer. i worked incredibly hard with the medical team, who were liaising with the ecb guys, and, yeah, i got myself into a place where i sort of feel like i'm back at 2019, 2020 space, in terms of my own body and fitness, so i have definitely given myself the best opportunity, but, the mind and the body sort of a different thing but i have given myself the given myself the best chance. it's day four at the french open — world number one carlos alcaraz will be in action shortly, while number two seed already through to round three is stefanos tsitsipas,

tsitsipas, the fifth seed, reached the final at roland garros two years ago but the home favourite, caroline garcia of france is out. the number five seed won the first set against the world number 56, anna blink—ova, but the russian came through, 4—6, 6—3, 7—5. usain bolt has been in talks with world athletics about playing a role in reviving the sport that made him a global superstar. the jamaican dominated men's sprinting for nearly a decade from the 2008 beijing olympics, but he says that the sport has been in something of a slump since he retired. after me it kind of went down because of how i was, as a person, and my personality, and how big my personality was, but, i think over time it will get better i think young are coming up, i have seen a few personalities that is the sport. and that's all the sport for now.

we start in ukraine with an exclusive bbc report.0ur eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford has met a mother whose son was taken by russian forces — and relocated hundreds of miles away. ukraine claims around 19,000 children have been taken by russia. here is sarah's investigation. tetya na makes the most of every minute with sasha, now her son is safe with her in germany. because last year, he was taken from his school in ukraine by russian soldiers. his mother had to travel deep into enemy territory to rescue him. forced separation would be upsetting for any child, but sasha has special needs — and for someone so vulnerable, it was deeply unsettling. he tells me how armed russian soldiers in balaclavas came to his school that day, loaded him and 12 other children onto buses,

and drove off with them. translation: to be honest, it was pretty scary. _ i didn't know where they were taking us. sasha then had no contact at all with his mum for six weeks. i ask how hard that was. translation: yes. to be honest, it's too distressing to even remember. ukraine believes more than 19,000 children have been moved to russia since this war began. russia claims it's just protecting the children. but russia's president is now a wanted man. the international criminal court has accused him of the illegal deportation of ukrainian children. i asked tetyana what she made of that charge.

translation: it's not only putin who should be put on trial. - it's all the main people — the commanders, all of them — for what they did to the children. what right did they have? they knew it was impossible for us to get them back, and they didn't care. and tetyana showed me new evidence of how those children are treated. tetyana just showed me this photograph, and these kids here are classmates of sasha, of her son. and look at them here in this russian—run school — they've got military uniforms and they've got these zs on their sleeves. these are the symbols of russia's war on their country. line rings. so i called the woman in charge of that school. i wanted to know about the z mark. "the ukrainian children dressed

as russian soldiers." "so what if they were?" the school director shot back at me. "what kind of question is that?" moments later, the line cut out. line beeps. sasha has told me five children taken with him still haven't been returned to their families. because russia doesn't make it easy — even when vladimir putin has been indicted for their removal as a suspected war criminal. sarah rainsford, bbc news. we can go live now to nathaniel raymond, who is the executive director of humanitarian research lab at yale university and a member of their conflict 0bservatory group which was one of the first groups to highlight the abduction of ukrainian children. thank you for coming on the programme it thank you for coming on the programme— thank you for coming on the programme thank you for coming on the rouramme ,. , ., , programme it is a pleasure to be here. we listened _ programme it is a pleasure to be here. we listened to _ programme it is a pleasure to be here. we listened to the - programme it is a pleasure to be here. we listened to the awful i

really clearly explained for - an end of the war itself. that is really clearly explained for us, | really clearly explained for us, what about the facility, the types of places these children end up? we have of places these children end up? - have identified as humanitarian research at least 43 facilities where the children are being held. 41 of them are re—education camp, many of those facilities were pioneer camps, during the soviet union during the stalin days and years used for political re—education during the cold war, these stretch, it is important for viewers to know over 3500 miles from the black sea in crimea, all the way to the pacific coast in a place called mogadon which is closer to alaska and japan than it is to moscow, let alone ukraine. these facilities serve a variety of purposes, in at least two cases which have identified instance of military training, like what you showed in terms of the wearing of

russian military uniforms, in those camps we have identified engage in military train, including the chechen republic and another military training facility in crimea. in other cases, these camps were names that seemed benign, like teddy bear serve as reg case cams where they learn patriotic song, are not allowed to speak ukrainian and are forced into basically russian political re—education. are forced into basically russian political re-education._ are forced into basically russian political re-education. what is the route to get _ political re-education. what is the route to get these _ political re-education. what is the route to get these children - political re-education. what is the route to get these children out? i route to get these children out? that is a critical question, as we saw with the story of tatiana and sasha, that story is being repeated over and over again by mothers and i want to stress it is mother, because males can not travel from ukraine safely into russia, so the mothers in the family are forced to sometimes in the case of ukraine, do

a 70 hourjourney to go round the front line of the fighting, in many cases for those held in siberia, the journey can take day a it is financially expensive, and it is also important to note, that many of these mothers have multiple children, and so, those who are able to make thisjourney, need children, and so, those who are able to make this journey, need to children, and so, those who are able to make thisjourney, need to have someone watching the other kids, in many cases and with the men at war, it is often very hard for women to be able to make this journey, while taking care of multiple children. just before we end this, one very quick question. all these allegations, added up to indictments in the icc, vladimir putin, what are the chances that anyone is ever properly prosecuted and held accountable for this?- accountable for this? well, regardless _ accountable for this? well, regardless of _ accountable for this? well, regardless of whether - accountable for this? well, - regardless of whether vladimir putin see his day in court, in the hague, what these indictment have done is

you are live north korea says it tried — and failed — to send its first military spy satellite into space. the rocket fell harmlessly into the sea. but millions of people injapan and south korea were warned to prepare to take shelter. sirens. this was the moment the sirens sounded in the south

korean capital seoul. there was confusion when an early morning phone alert was sent out, telling people to prepare for an evacuation. that message was retracted 20 minutes later. according to the south korean military — which released these images of what it says was wreckage of the missile — the projectile disappeared from radar and might have crashed or exploded. north korea was unusually quick to comment on what had happened, confirming on its website that the rocket crashed into the sea after problems with a new engine system and fuel. but it does crucially say it'll be continuing such launches. the us hasjoined south korea and japan in condemning the launch, saying it involved ballistic missile technology in breach of un sanctions. live now to washington dc to speak to mark fitzpatrick, associate fellow at the international institute for strategic studies — a think—tank. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the rouramme. . , _ ., , thank you for coming on the rouramme. ., , mm programme. happy to be here. what to ou make programme. happy to be here. what to you make of — programme. happy to be here. what to you make of this _ programme. happy to be here. what to you make of this failed _ programme. happy to be here. what to you make of this failed launch - programme. happy to be here. what to you make of this failed launch then? i

there is a distinction, and i think it is worth considering the differences and the purpose. and the differences and the purpose. and the difference is visible in the way that north korea quickly acknowledged the, what was wrong with this launch. they probably wouldn't have done that with a military programme, but with what they call a civilian programme, it is not civilian because it was for a military reconnaissance, but any way, they did, they were more open about it and that speaks to the difference. about it and that speaks to the difference-— about it and that speaks to the difference. �* ., . ., difference. and grouched the on it there, tell difference. and grouched the on it there. tell us _ difference. and grouched the on it there, tell us why _ difference. and grouched the on it there, tell us why they _ difference. and grouched the on it there, tell us why they are - difference. and grouched the on it there, tell us why they are doing i there, tell us why they are doing these space satellite launches, what are they aiming to get out of it? well, they there said in the past they wanted for agricultural purpose p they wanted for agricultural purpose p inmean satellites can be helpful for such civilian purpose, this particular one this is military reconnaissance, that is pont for their military programme, they want to be able to see what south korea forces are up to and what their

by claims of racism in recent years. but now the very plan set up to tackle this is at the centre of fresh claims of racism. ijoined the programme to share my lived and professional experience, as well as my knowledge and working in the police. the police race action plan, published last year, aims to build trust with black communities. one person who worked on the programme told us they had this experience... they want to remain anonymous because of their current role. i was treated differently to my white colleagues, by a lack of support being offered when the workload increased. it was openly questioned if black people were even needed to work on the plan. i increasingly felt my voice, and at times my lived and professional experience, were being ignored. they're just one of several people of colour who've raised serious concerns about discrimination at the unit, with some saying that their experiences

were belittled and ignored. we've also seen documentation outlining other complaints from people of colour, with some raising serious questions about the credibility and the true intentions of the programme. the members that we've supported have outlined areas where they have been marginalised within the plan. they've been sidelined, at times they've almost been gaslit as well around some of the issues and almost saying that black people are sometimes the problem and that they are loud and challenging. the national police chief council's chair told us, "we will be issuing a refreshed plan that i am confident will deliver the change our workforce and the communities we serve, need and deserve. i'm not aware of any official complaints or allegations relating to racism. however, i'm deeply saddened to hear of the experiences expressed in this report. anyone who carries toxic attitudes, be that racist, misogynist, homophobic or discriminatory, does not belong in policing."

these latest allegations paint a picture of a body beset by problems, at a time when trust in policing amongst people of colour is a critical issue. the entire process left me completely disillusioned. black staff, in my opinion, were seen as troublemakers or difficult for providing a perspective from black people. sima kotecha, bbc news. with more on this, sima kotecha joins me now from the newsroom. so where do thrives lacings now leave this whole plan? that so where do thrives lacings now leave this whole plan?— leave this whole plan? that is a very good _ leave this whole plan? that is a very good question, _ leave this whole plan? that is a very good question, hello, - leave this whole plan? that is a very good question, hello, we | leave this whole plan? that is a - very good question, hello, we don't really know, what we do know is that the former head of this plan, very recently, retired from his position, following unrelated allegations of bullying, so there is a new leader now in charge, who has told newsnight that he is going to refresh the programme and that he is going to make sure those experiences of black people are represented and

reflected in what the plan goes on to do next, but remember, this comes at a time when policing has been mired in criticism, racist criticism, we have seen scandal after scandal, criticism, we have seen scandal afterscandal, hitting criticism, we have seen scandal after scandal, hitting forcing across england, wales even police scotland saying last week, its chief constable saying it was institutionally racist, and this will not help convince those communities who feel as if they have had a tough ride from police officers, to now trust them going forward and that was at the heart of this plan, was to build that trust, between black community, and the police, so it will be very interesting to see, what happens next, and how long it will take for that trust to be rebuilt. talk to me a bit about pulling this investigation together, some of the challenges and how you manage to get to this? ~ ., , challenges and how you manage to get tothis? ., , challenges and how you manage to get tothis?: ., , , ., to this? well, actually somebody who worked on the — to this? well, actually somebody who worked on the plan _ to this? well, actually somebody who worked on the plan got _ to this? well, actually somebody who worked on the plan got in _ to this? well, actually somebody who worked on the plan got in touch, - to this? well, actually somebody who worked on the plan got in touch, and| worked on the plan got in touch, and said there were others who felt similar to them, you heard some of

that anecdotal evidence any that report, just there, a quote from a black person who i have been speaking to, they said that people of colour were being ignored, their real life experiences were being belittled, and that they were made to feel inferier by being treated differently in terms of the support they received is. they introduced me to other, the bbc has seen documentation which conveys complaints from other former members of staff who have made similar complaints about the way they felt they were treated, so suddenly, we had several people coming forward, and also documentation showing their complaints and than gave us kind of a breadth of evidence to go to the national police chiefs' council with, that is the council that the body that runs this plan, and to say to them, well, look, we are seeing a pattern here, what is your response to that? i mean, if you have one person, you might argue that that

person, you might argue that that person is disgruntled, perhaps they didn't get a promotion but when you have several people saying very similar things you start to think, hang on a minute, is there something significantly wrong here, that all these people who are of colour are saying similar things and also citing similar experiences at the plan, which is supposed to, as i say build better relationships with diverse communities.- build better relationships with diverse communities. thank you for talkin: us diverse communities. thank you for talking us through _ now to the us where ron de santis has taken his campaign to iowa, it is a key state because of the early timing of its vote in the nomination process, his first big rally since confirming he was running for the white house, he took aim at president biden's record on crime and the economy. ilil" president biden's record on crime and the economy.— and the economy. our country is auoin in and the economy. our country is going in the _ and the economy. our country is going in the wrong _ and the economy. our country is going in the wrong direction. - and the economy. our country is going in the wrong direction. we and the economy. our country is - going in the wrong direction. we can see it, and we can feel it. our

southern border has collapsed. look at the economy. the biden administration is doing all it can to make it harderfor the average family to make ends meet and attain and maintain a middle class lifestyle. and that was ron desanity. this is bbc news. bye. —— that was ron we have two types of weather and a tale of two beaches, here in northern ireland, barely a cloud in the sky, beautiful sunshine and feeling warm but it is not like that further east. this is hornsey in east yorkshire, a lot of low cloud and fielding chilly. the satellite picture shows exactly where the cloud is at the moment, and i'm going to show you the winds 700 metres up in the atmosphere, blowing this cloud to you, you can see a lot

more cloud still upstream in the north sea. the other thing is the cloud is three times thicker than it was yesterday, that is important because it is much more likely to hang around. when you have sunshine heading into the afternoon, you will keep it in day, but the computers might be optimistic in breaking this thick cloud elsewhere across england, even parts of east wales might hang onto it all day, and in the midlands, 13—14, feeling chilly, but warm spots in the west of northern ireland, western scotland, 25 degrees, warm in the sunshine. heading into the night time, the cloud comes back in from the north sea, thickening as temperatures drop below 10 degrees, starting to get a drizzle falling from the clouds, so again looking at a damp start to the day, probably quite extensive drizzle first thing in the morning. try as we head through the morning and into the afternoon, most places will be dry, but keeping probably quite a bit of cloud across eastern coastal counties, a better chance of seeing the sunshine pop out further

west, particularly for wales in the west midlands. into friday, generally less cloud around, so more in the way of sunshine, and in thejune sunshine, that is a big impact on how the weather feels, looking at temperatures widely into the high teens or low 20s. what about the weekend weather prospects? high pressure is still there to the north—west of the uk, where it has been now for a large number of days, but feeding a lot of cloud from the north atlantic in the north sea, so something of an east—west split with western parts of the uk having the best of the sunshine, the highest temperatures, low to mid 20s in some spots, whereas further east you could see more cloud at times, and temperatures are more likely to stay generally into the teens. that is your latest weather, bye for now.

live from london, this is bbc news. as russia's invasion of ukraine rages on, we get the latest on kyiv�*s anticipated counteroffensive from a former us army general. i believe it is going to be very impressive, i think we will see for the first time the achievement of true combined arms effect. to the south—east of ukraine, where security around its power plant is extremely fragile — we'll hear from the global nuclear watchdog. rail passengers across britain
