i'm sumi somaskanda, good to have you with us. we start with unfolding tragedy in india. reuters is reporting at least 233 people have died and hundreds more were injured in a multi— train collision. official said several coaches of the coromandel express came off the track and fell on the opposite rails and eastern state. here is our asia regional editor. it was supposed to be an overnight trainjourney, but ended up in a disaster in the middle of the countryside. carriages were toppled, due to the powerful impact. they smashed up in the compartments. rescue teams and residents climbed up the mountain of wreckage to find survivors. distraught relatives were praying for the safe recovery of their loved ones.

translation: 1015 people fell on me, when the accident happened and everything was haywire. i hurt my hand and also the back of my neck. emergency teams are working through the night to try to rescue those trapped inside the carriages. the government has dispatched more than 60 ambulances to take the injured to various hospitals. it's not immediately clear what led to the derailment and subsequent collision. india has one of the largest train networks in the world and accidents are common, despite successive governments investing hundreds of millions of pounds to improve the infrastructure.— infrastructure. that is of course a _ infrastructure. that is of course a developing - infrastructure. that is of. course a developing story infrastructure. that is of- course a developing story there in india, we will be bringing you updates on that story as they come to us. the us defence secretary lloyd austin has addressed asia's biggest annual security summit in a speech

focused on tensions between china and the us. it comes as the relationship between the two countries is at its lowest point in decades. beijing refused an offer of direct talks in singapore between the general and his chinese counterpart on the sidelines of the summit in singapore. this is what the prime minister of australia had to say about repairing the relationship. australia strongly supports the renewed efforts from president joe biden�*s administration to establish reliable and open channels. establish reliable and open channele— establish reliable and open channels. looks like we are havin: channels. looks like we are having trouble _ channels. looks like we are having trouble with - channels. looks like we are having trouble with the - channels. looks like we are l having trouble with the sound on that sound bite from the australian prime minister but again, that soundbite from the summer taking place in singapore at the moment, let's go right to singapore where our correspondence is standing by. as we said, the defence secretary lloyd austin has been speaking. tell us about what he has had to say. he speaking. tell us about what he has had to say.— has had to say. he has been speaking — has had to say. he has been speaking for _ has had to say. he has been speaking for about - has had to say. he has been - speaking for about half-an-hour speaking for about half—an—hour and one thing he did addresses

we have ukraine's minister of defence who has been buzzing around this hotel all weekend trying to meet as many people as he can and he said he had respected the remainder of what's happening between uk — ukraine and russia as we can never take piece for security —— for granted. he talked about the principle that america holds for the indo pacific region, transparency, human rights, free flow of commerce and we will continue to hear the plans and the different bilateral, trilateral, multilateral agreements they had. this is a wide cast that the us sees over here, from north korea down to australia but as you mentioned tensions between the us and china are incredibly fraught and there is a lot that can happen in that large span in terms of their own security and many countries us quite vulnerable because of this tension. we us quite vulnerable because of this tension.— this tension. we mention that bei'ina this tension. we mention that beijing refused _ this tension. we mention that beijing refused direct - this tension. we mention that beijing refused direct talks . beijing refused direct talks between general austin and his chinese counterpart. do we know

why that is and what impact that has having on the summit? the chinese saying the us is not playing a fair game and say that they are bullying china in some ways, and that you have to remember, during the time that president trump was in power a lot of these alliances went silent, and so china field in the gap during that period, but when president biden came into power, that was one of the first things he did, trying to rebuild some of the relationships that went dormant during those four years and it's been a tough road, but nevertheless this is something that has been of great importance, certainly for the us defence department. this is the seventh time the secretary has been in this region trying to make these alliances happen, but i do have to say, one thing did happen behind closed doors, there was a handshake and they sat at the same table for

dinner, and it's unbeknownst what they actually talked about and this may seem like a small gesture but a lot of the geopolitical hawks say that this may be a small sign they are open to discussion.- this may be a small sign they are open to discussion. even a handshake _ are open to discussion. even a handshake is _ are open to discussion. even a handshake is important - are open to discussion. even a handshake is important that i handshake is important that what outcomes are we expecting to see from the summit? in, what outcomes are we expecting to see from the summit? a, lot to see from the summit? a lot of peeple _ to see from the summit? a lot of peeple are _ to see from the summit? a lot of people are not _ to see from the summit? a lot of people are not feeling - of people are not feeling particularly positive that they will be one, especially since they won't be any sort of public meeting between the two ministers of defence, however what has happened here, and we have seen a lot of this, there are people having meetings on the sidelines, a place where they can speak freely, we have seen a lot of soldiers from the pla in the us state department and defence department shaking hands, patting each other on the back, last night maybe they had a drink coffee and were able to talk about things in the real hope is that maybe later in the year we may see president biden actually have a meeting together, and that might be at the g20 or maybe in

san francisco at the apex summit in november. something to watch out _ summit in november. something to watch out for. _ summit in november. something to watch out for. great _ summit in november. something to watch out for. great to - summit in november. something to watch out for. great to talk - to watch out for. great to talk to watch out for. great to talk to you. in its first televised address on the oval office, us presidentjoe biden told americans that the debt ceiling bells save the come back country from economic collapse. if the debt ceiling was not met by monday, the us would have defaulted, which would have been catastrophic. after both chambers of congress finally passed, it was possible to reach bipartisan agreement on president biden also said he will sign the bill into law on saturday authorising the government to extend the debt ceiling and a new borrowing. passing this budget agreement was critical. the stakes could not have been higher. if was critical. the stakes could not have been higher.- was critical. the stakes could not have been higher. if we had failed to reach _ not have been higher. if we had failed to reach an _ not have been higher. if we had failed to reach an agreement i not have been higher. if we hadj failed to reach an agreement on the budget, there were extreme voices threatening to take australia for the first time in 247 australia for the first time in 2117 year history into default.

on our national debt. nothing would have been more irresponsible. i want to commend speaker mccarthy, he and i and our teams were able to get along and get things done and were straightforward with one another, completely honest and respectful with one another. both sides operated in good faith, both sides kept their word.— good faith, both sides kept their word. . . , , ., their word. that address from president _ their word. that address from president biden _ their word. that address from president biden a _ their word. that address from president biden a little - president biden a little earlier in the evening in with me now isjessica parker our north american corresponded to lizard into that address. resorts prime—time talk from the president about signing this agreement which he will do over the weekend. what was this about? fin over the weekend. what was this about? ., . ., ., about? on the face of it, what he was saying _ about? on the face of it, what he was saying is _ about? on the face of it, what he was saying is you _ about? on the face of it, what he was saying is you may - about? on the face of it, what he was saying is you may be i he was saying is you may be thought this was all the political game and it was definitely going to get resolved, this debt ceiling crisis but i'm here to tell you that we got very close to what would have been an economic catastrophe, and i think that is part of his effort to say i got the deal done, i'm a safe steward of the economy and then

he used this address to branch out and talk about all of the things that he has protected as part of this deal which basically boils down to his legacy as he sees it from his time in office, whether that is investment in clean energy or job creation so we have to look at this address as a moment where we wanted to say here is a reality check of what nearly happened but also a moment for him to say look at what i have achieved so far in office, because of course he wants to get re—elected in 202a. he get re-elected in 2024. he underlines _ get re—elected in 2024. he underlines time and time again bipartisanship. what was that about? to paint himself as the antithesis of republicans on the other side of the aisle? it might be as a way of painting himself as the antithesis to certain republican. he has always talked about a man who can make deals across the aisle, something he has long been proud of and he was told when he came to office that bipartisanship was dead, but i think he was certainly trying

to say look, i can calmly make deals with people who are in a different party to me and no doubt there was an element of him trying to say, we need to lower the temperature. i think the property were some hence there are tao his style is so very different to that of donald trump, who of course is different winnerfor donald trump, who of course is different winner for the different winnerfor the republican nomination, again, needs to be sent to the 2024 prism. needs to be sent to the 2024 rism. ~ . , , needs to be sent to the 2024 rism. ~ , ,, ._ needs to be sent to the 2024 prism. was this essentially a campaign — prism. was this essentially a campaign speech _ prism. was this essentially a campaign speech from - prism. was this essentially a - campaign speech from president biden? , . , campaign speech from president biden? , .,, ., campaign speech from president biden? , ., ., ., biden? this was a moment for him to turn — biden? this was a moment for him to turn the _ biden? this was a moment for him to turn the page - biden? this was a moment for him to turn the page on - biden? this was a moment for him to turn the page on what l him to turn the page on what has been a chaotic a few weeks. we have talked consistently about will american oak default on its debt for the first time in its history, and no doubt that would have landed at president biden's door as the man in charge so he wanted to marked out but certainly looks like a campaign speech and it would not be the first president to use the advantages of office to be able to get his message out, and we will have to see how many people he managed to reach.- to see how many people he managed to reach. was there a real threat _ managed to reach. was there a real threat of _ managed to reach. was there a real threat of the _ managed to reach. was there a

2024 republican nomination. european football's governing body says it has charged jose mourinho your with using abusive language against the referee of the europa league final. he was seen confronting anthony taylor in the stadium car park in budapest after wednesday's match which they lost on penalties to the spanish team severe. return to the war in ukraine now and president zielinski has threatened potential prosecutions of local officials if there is any repeat of the failure to open bomb shelters which contributed to the deaths of three people in cowes on wednesday. a nine—year—old girl, her mother and another woman died after trying to use a shelter during a russian metal strike, only to find it was closed. mr zelensky said shelter should be accessible 24 hours per day and this was the scene in a subway station as fresh russian airstrikes triggered countrywide alerts overnight, the ukrainian government sang 36 drones in

vessels were shot down in and around the capital. are corresponded as more. there seems to _ corresponded as more. there seems to be _ corresponded as more. there seems to be quite _ corresponded as more. there seems to be quite a - corresponded as more. there seems to be quite a bit - corresponded as more. there seems to be quite a bit of- corresponded as more. there l seems to be quite a bit of ugly fallout from yesterday's strikes which left three people dead. they were unable to get into an air raid shelter which was locked, it was a public air raid shelter and today president zielinski is hardly held back, he has described the city's meier as an enemy, he said i thought it was russia but it turns out we have internal enemies as well. the mayor has responded in short saying yes i am partly responsible, but it was the president to install the officials who were responsible for that shelter. it really is ugly but i think this has been a relentless, continuation of russian airstrikes, there were two waves of attacks last night, yet another night and

morning where people heard sirens and explosions, they were not able to get a good night of sleep and had to take cover. the skies were filled with air defence systems, where missiles were going up into the air, lighting the area and rns at times, it looked like a bizarre set of fireworks, and this is the daily reality, and there are no signs to suggest that russia is going to let up with its tactic of targeting ukrainian cities, despite the military significance of such a move continuing to be debatable although attacks in kyiv have intensified recently the war has dominated lives in ukraine for more than a year now. have also been a number of drone strikes in russia which authorities blame on ukraine. our russia editor steve rosenberg has been there to gauge the public mood and the

music you will hear is played and composed by steve himself. this is yaroslavl, about 150 miles from moscow. legend has it that 1000 years ago here, a prince killed a bear that had been unleashed on him by his enemies and he celebrated by sounding this town. a lot has changed in 1000 years. today vladimir putin portrays russia as a bear, that is under attack. he has claimed that the west is trying to put shane around russia, to pull out russia's thing and clause but do russians actually believe that narrative? this is a good opportunity to gauge the mood. it is city day, it is yaroslavl�*s annual street party and they have gone ahead with it despite russia's war on

ukraine. it feels kind of strange because on the one hand it is a celebration but mixed in our reminders of the so—called special military operation. for example they have just seen some volunteers who are demonstrating how they make battlefield camouflage for russian troops in ukraine. they even so in orthodox icons to the clothes they are making and they make socks for soldiers too and one of the volunteers they spoke to, a teacher, had this message for the west. translation:— this message for the west. translation: , , ., , ., translation: the russian bear won't hurt you — translation: the russian bear won't hurt you if— translation: the russian bear won't hurt you if you _ translation: the russian bear won't hurt you if you don't - won't hurt you if you don't frighten him. that is the golden rule.— frighten him. that is the golden rule. frighten him. that is the olden rule. ., ., , golden rule. now look at this, this is the _ golden rule. now look at this, this is the so-called _ golden rule. now look at this, this is the so-called rock - golden rule. now look at this, this is the so-called rock of i this is the so—called rock of friendship. it features the names of towns and cities twinned with yaroslavl, for example there is exeter in return, burlington in america, although some of these places

accurate enough for public usage. scientists believe we are edging ever closer to a blood test which can reliably detect and rule out cancer stopping this one developed by californian company. so how does it work? the ground test looks for fragments of cancer dna which have broken off from the tumour and dna which have broken off from the tumourand are dna which have broken off from the tumour and are circulating in the bloodstream. in the biggest trail of its kind a team at oxford university monitored over 5000 people who went to their gp in england and wales with cancer symptoms stopping a blood test correctly identified two out of three cancer cases. what that means for patients is that 75% of those with a positive blood test did have cancer which was confirmed by conventional methods like scans. at 2.5% who had a negative test also had cancer which is why researchers

described it as a work in progress, not accurate enough to be used in daily prayer. what is exciting researchers is that where cancer was identified in 85% of cases, the blood test was able to pinpoint the original site of the cancer stopping this is crucial as often people go to their doctor with only vague symptoms like weight loss and abdominal pain. a major trial called nhs gallery is under way with 140,000 healthy volunteers to see if the blood test can detect early signs of cancer stopping the first results are due next year and if successful the nhs in england plans to extend the rollout to a further one illien people. football fans may face some disruptions as they head to the fa cup final in wembley. passengers are experiencing a second day

of magistrates is 20,000 members of the rmt union walked out in a dispute over pay. the story of this strike is written in the departure boards here at manchester piccadilly, there's a number of blank spaces where you would normally expect to see departures listed on the platform concourse here is also noticeably quieter than you expected to be for a friday afternoon. the disruption that we have seen today is expected to continue into tomorrow and the rail drivers union stages its own strike in its dispute over pay. that is going to cause significant disruption over the country though that impact will vary depending on where you are stopping the one place it will be significant as here in chester because the company that normally runs services between manchester and london won't be putting on any services. that is significant because tomorrow is the fa cup final between manchester city and manchester united which means tens of thousands of fans having to find an alternative way of making their way down to

the capital. at the same time you have got other events taking place. we are expecting 100,000 people to make their way to epsom for the derby, there is a beyonce concert in london, eltonjohn is playing on saturday night and is test cricket at lord's, all of which are being forced off the rails and onto the roads to find another way of getting to where they want to be. that means the roads are expected to be extremely busy. the aa has taken the step of advising drivers to actually avoid service stations if they can en route and instead go to local towns and cities if they want a break stopping the strike itself, both the train drivers union and the rmt have both said they would be open to more talks but there are none planned at the moment and that means this strike which has already rumbled on for months may ramble on for months further yet. you might have seen there is a new national spelling bee champion here in the us. dev scharfrom florida

largely dry, fine and settled, with some spells of sunshine. that sun is strong at this time of year, with high uv levels. most starting on a sunny note on saturday. a little bit of patchy cloud here and there in parts of england and wales, tending to retreat back to the east coast. a bit more cloud around northern scotland, particularly for orkney and shetland. there's the small chance of a shower over high ground in scotland and northern ireland, but really only a small chance. a slightly warmer day, 16 or 17 on the east coast, and 23 further west. the fa cup final at wembley, the weather is set fair with quite a lot of sunshine in the afternoon. at hampden park for the scottish fa cup final, very similarforecast, sunshine and 22 or 23. as we head to saturday evening, fine with looks of sunshine and clear skies overnight. that will mean a rather chilly light but low cloud in the northeast of scotland and may be some patches of low cloud across eastern parts of england as well. temperatures generally seven to 10 degrees but it may be

a little chillier in some spots in this countryside. on sunday, a bit more low cloud in northern and eastern scotland, threatening to roll onto the east of england. further west, spells of sunshine and temperatures up to 22 or 23 degrees. as we look ahead to the coming week, little, ifany, rain in the forecast. it's going to stay dry and, if anything, it's set to turn warmer later in the week.
