hello, i'm anjana gadgil. we start with breaking news from india — and 288 people are now known to have died in a train crash that happened last night. prime minister narendra modi visited the site in the eastern state of odisha. mr modi visited the crash site and injured passenters being treated in hospital — and said noone responsible for the crash would be spared. more than a thousand people have been injured. it is already the country's worst train crash this century. three trains were involved in the collision — which all began when a passenger train derailed. our south asia correspondent, yogita limaye, reports. daylight revealed the scale of the disaster. this wreckage, now intertwined, belongs to three trains. on friday evening the coromandel express ferrying more than 1,000 passengers crashed into a freight train standing on the same track. its coaches overturned,

hitting another sleeper coming in from the opposite side, leaving a pile—up not seen in decades. through the night rescue teams had worked pulling out people. "give him oxygen," they shouted, carrying one of the survivors to an ambulance. it took hours to get through to those trapped inside. ritik kumar survived the crash but his friend was killed. "he was sitting in his seat and i was standing by the door. "when the collision happened i thought he would have "escaped but he got crushed. i pulled him out but he didn't survive," he said. many of the seriously injured were brought to this hospital in cuttack about three hours away. at the scb medical college we have admitted 150 people and still people are pouring in and there are people in the icu ward and also

in the casualty, so we are putting our best effort, but it's so unfortunate that so many people have lost their life. india's prime minister narendra modi visited the accident site. his government has promised an inquiry into what went wrong. there are many tough questions to answer. yogita limaye, bbc news, mumbai. amidst the tragic incident, hospitals in balasore are grappling with an influx of casualties, as bbc correspondent, archana shukla reports now from the scene. every 30 minutes an ambulance like this comes into this hospital here in cuttack, which is the state's biggest hospital, ferrying in critically injured passengers from the accident site. this is still three hours drive from the accident site where last night three trains, two passenger trains and a goods

train were involved in a crash that led to more than 1,000 passengers being injured and many hundreds and dozens dying. we are told since last night, nearly 200 critically injured passengers have been brought into this hospital. the staff, the medical teams here, ready to take on the injured and provide them with medical care as quickly as possible. the site here is one of despair, distress and of chaos. authorities are trying to organize the crowds so that the medical teams can reach to the injured as quickly as they are brought in. but there are people who are looking for their family members, some of them distressed, not knowing the conditions of those who are already here, reached and getting the care. many people we've met here are also looking for their family members, not knowing which hospital they have been brought to. some of them either critically ill have been brought in here, but they are still looking for their whereabouts. this is one of the deadliest train

accidents that india has seen in decades, and the numbers are only on the rise, both on the casualty side and of those injured. and a lot of questions that the government and the central ministry will have to answer. i spoke i spoke to i spoke to our i spoke to our correspond i spoke to our correspond on i spoke to our correspond on about i spoke to our correspond on about what happened. the prime minister is returning after making a visit to the disaster site and the hospital, visiting the injured, but when he spoke to the media he did not have information to offer in terms of the causes of the accident. he was accompanied by the railway minister but at the moment the most we have heard from the government is that there might be technical reasons which led to the accident and they could range from signalfailure to a communication failure between the drivers of the trains

when they collided. as night descends there is going to be a focus on helping relatives find their loved ones in the hospitals and we heard from our reporter who is in the biggest hospital in 0disha, and there is overcrowding, and we have heard from others in other areas where some of the rescued passengers have been taken, there is a huge rush at the airport and at stations as they try to find out whether their loved ones have arrived or are being treated in hospital or have met the worst fate. is the focus on the recovery or the causes of the accident? the rescue operation is complete according to the railway ministry so we are now focusing on the restoration of normal railway traffic on the tracks and the tracks of course need repairing and clearing. 17 coaches were derailed

in the collision and they were strewn on the tracks as the pictures showed. it will be a difficult and time—consuming task to clear the tracks and then restore the traffic. it is a very heavy route which links calcutta in the east to chennai in the south. 50 trains were cancelled since the collision yesterday and 50 have been diverted and those pile—ups are only expected to increase in the coming days as the restoration work goes on. clearly, the accident is particularly horrendous but how common are accidents on the indian railway network? we have one of the largest railway networks and it dates back even before india was independent and it is very extensive and it links different geographical terrains and crisscrosses the whole country, and accidents are not rare but big accidents are once in a decade,

and concerns around safety have been raised time and again because smaller accidents are quite frequent. there is an anti—collision mechanism the government has been talking about and working on in the past few years but it still has not been rolled out in most of the train network and has only been tried in small patches and was not in place on these trains. until that mechanism is in place and tried and implemented, train journeys continue to be risky in india. accidents on india's rail network are common. 0ur reporter naomi choy smith has more on the country's rail safety record. india has one of the largest rail networks in the world. it carries 12 million passengers per day, they are transporting people and also cargo, becoming a lifeline for the

country's economy but as the infrastructure continues to age and does not get the maintenance in many cases, the rail safety record has plunged. in 2021, we can see these statistics from the country, around 16,000 people were killed and around 18,000 train accidents, in a single year. before the accident on friday in 0disha state, india's worst rail disaster happened in 1981 when a train plunged and derailed into a river, killing more than 800 people. another major train disaster happened about 30 years ago where a couple of trains collided which killed more than 350 people. successive governments including the current one say they are making drastic improvements to the railway system including installing anti—collision measures and improving the tracks but critics of the government especially in the

past have said it is just not enough and it may be too little too late. police working on the epsom derby near london say they've arrested a total of 31 protesters. that includes 19 people who were arrested pre—emptively in connection with plans to dirupt the horse race. animal rights campaigners had been threatening to defy a court order, banning disruptive protests. earlier, i spoke to our correspondent charlotte gallagher who was at the racecourse at epsom. those large—scale protests organisers here had feared did not happen and it was pretty uneventful, apart from the racing. there was one person who made it onto the track and animal rising say it is one of their supporters, they got onto the track when the race was running so the horses were coming down the track, this person got onto the track but stewards bundled

them off before the horses could get there because obviously that would have been a complete catastrophe. the security has been really tight. i have never seen police lining the track for a horse race but police were dotted all around the course for the derby and there has been stewards everywhere and even men arriving in top hats have had to take them off, so people could check they were not hiding anything, but i'm sure organisers will be pleased it went off essentially without a hitch, a minor hitch with one person on the track. the race itself, the epsom derby, it is to flat racing what the grand national is to jump racing, a huge event. it was won by auguste rodin. trainer aidan 0'brien with his ninth win in the epsom derby, and the jockey ryan moore with his third win at the epsom derby. big celebrations for those two.

not much of a rest for ryan moore because he was actually racing in the following race. it was the last epsom derby for frankie dettori but sadly he did not make it but he looked pretty happy at the end after what has been an absolutely amazing career. and still more racing this afternoon. the police and stewards seem to be staying in case there are any more protests. the turkish leader, recep tayyip erdogan, has been sworn—in for his third term as president. the ceremony in parliament in ankara was held nearly a week after winning a historic run—off election. mr erdogan has dominated turkish politics for 20 years, first as prime minister, then as president. live now to berza simsek from our turkish service. we have got pictures of the ceremony at the presidential compound. so todayis at the presidential compound. so today is a day of ceremony and state events with the heads of state arriving for a lavish dinner tonight. president erdogan has a big job because it was a very

controversial election which he won on 50% of the vote and he has a lot of work to do? he on 5096 of the vote and he has a lot of work to do?— of work to do? he has a lot of work to do. of work to do? he has a lot of work to do- the — of work to do? he has a lot of work to do. the turkish _ of work to do? he has a lot of work to do. the turkish economy - of work to do? he has a lot of work to do. the turkish economy is - of work to do? he has a lot of work to do. the turkish economy is not. to do. the turkish economy is not doing well and the currency has lost so much value in the past couple of years. his biggest task is economically making turkey better again and lowering inflation and the cost of living, that will be his firstjob. the otherjob, in february, turkey has gone through an earthquake which killed more than 50,000 people and almost it created damage in 11 cities. three states especially have been almost ruined. turkey needs right now $100 billion to build those cities again so these are the most pressing issues that he

faces right now. we are the most pressing issues that he faces right now.— are the most pressing issues that he faces right now. we note the head of nato jens stoltenberg _ faces right now. we note the head of nato jens stoltenberg is _ faces right now. we note the head of nato jens stoltenberg is in _ faces right now. we note the head of nato jens stoltenberg is in turkey i natojens stoltenberg is in turkey right now along with other heads of state. will any work be done today or is it purely ceremonial?- or is it purely ceremonial? mostly ceremonial— or is it purely ceremonial? mostly ceremonial but _ or is it purely ceremonial? mostly ceremonial but it _ or is it purely ceremonial? mostly ceremonial but it has _ or is it purely ceremonial? mostly ceremonial but it has a _ or is it purely ceremonial? mostly. ceremonial but it has a significance because it shows that the nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg is trying to give an impression that nato still values turkey's membership. nato and turkey have been at odds recently regarding the membership of sweden and finland, and turkey did not support their membership bids because erdogan said they are providing safe haven to what he calls terrorist organisations, namely the pkk. in the meantime finland became a member

but there is a situation ongoing regarding sweden's membership so this will be on the table during those meetings today, obviously, but mainly to show support, that nato values turkey's membership. thanks for “oininr values turkey's membership. thanks forjoining us- _ it is estimated up to 60% of trains are not running. you walk out coincides with sporting and musical events including the fa cup final which is taking place at wembley in london —— the walk—out. we can have a look now at the fa cup situation with the sport bulletin.

championship side inverness, looking to cause a huge upset against ange postecoglu's side. you are talking about a final and everything that entails, so we are expecting a tough one. i watched the semifinal. it was a good game. good football played. at that time they were going well, unfortunately theyjust missed out on the play—offs but there is no doubt that we will be primed and very motivated to create something good and we will be at our best to make sure it happens. this competition is about miracles. there was a big result involving aberdeen— there was a big result involving aberdeen earlier. we hope to do the same _ aberdeen earlier. we hope to do the same again— aberdeen earlier. we hope to do the same again against celtic. the women's champions league final is also taking place today in eindhoven — last year's beaten finalists barcelona are taking on wolfsberg. it's the german club who took an early lead — ewa pajor

capitalising on an error from england defender lucy bronze after just four minutes. alexandra popp made it 2—0 after half an hour. barcelona have got back into it to make _ barcelona have got back into it to make it _ barcelona have got back into it to make it 2-2— barcelona have got back into it to make it 2—2 with just over 30 minutes_ make it 2—2 with just over 30 minutes remaining. england have named their squad for the ashes series against australia which starts later this month. no suprises as it's the same players who are currently playing ireland in a one—off four day test. and it's been a test debut to remember forjosh tongue who's taken five wickets in ireland's second innings. ireland started the day on 97—3, 255 runs behind, after england declared with a 352—run lead. ireland have moved on to 356—8 and they now_ ireland have moved on to 356—8 and they now lead by four. ryan moore won his third derby by guiding auguste rodin to victory at epsom. auguste rodin chased down outsider king of steel to win by a length and the two finished

well clear of white birch in third with spre—well in fourth. frankie dettori finished 10th on arrest in his last ride in the race. at the french open, defending champion iga swiantek has delivered the dreaded double bagel to wang xinyyu. the world number one thrashed the chinese player 6—0, 6—0, to soar into the fourth round at roland garros. she'll face either fellow us open winner bianca andreescu or ukraine's lesia tsurenko next. wimbledon champion elena rybakina pulled out of the tournament shortly before her third—round match because of illness. the 23 year old kazakh player was one of the favourites for the title at roland garros, and was due to play spaniard sara sorribes tormo on saturday. she'd recently won the italian 0pen, was seeded fourth and hadn't yet dropped a set.

i was not feeling good yesterday and the day before, so i did not sleep for a couple of nights and i had a fever. and then today i really tried in the warm up but i feel it is the right decision to withdraw because it is really tough to play with these conditions. and that's all the sport for now. thanks forjoining us. the israeli army has said that three of its soldiers were killed this morning in an incident near the southern border with egypt. the army says there was a further exchange of fire in the area several hours later in which the suspected gunman was killed. an israeli army spokesman has said the two soldiers — one male and one female — began a guard shift at an army post on the border late on friday night. after they could not be contacted, an officer went looking for them and found them dead at the scene. bbc arabic correspondent sally nabil has more from cairo.

first of all, this is a very rare incident over the past few decades, since egypt signed a peace treaty with israel in the late 19705, and things have been quite peaceful between the countries and the border area has been pretty quiet. this incident raises a lot of eyebrows actually, because it rarely happens. the version of the story we are getting from the egyptian army came after many hours, saying that three israeli soldiers were killed and two others were injured, and it put it in the context of a drug smuggling campaign that an egyptian security personnel was trying to chase and he crossed into the israeli side of the border and there was an exchange of fire that followed and an egyptian security personnel also lost his life as well as three israelis and two others were injured.

they put put it in the wider context of a chase between egyptian security personnel and a group of drug smugglers. but many people on social media say there might be other sides of the story we have not heard about yet. they accused the egyptian army of leaving the egyptian public in the dark for many hours and it came out with a statement that was vaguely worded. there have been reports this week that killer whales have been deliberately sinking boats off the coast of gibraltar — led by a dominant female known as white gladis. well, this video was taken by a man off the coast of gibraltar, who was in a small boat when a pod approached it and as we can see here seemed to work together to try and damage it. marine biologists are pursuing a couple of theories for the unusual whale behaviour. it could be play or sport — but there could be a darker

explanation, as the biologist and wildlife conservationist, jeff corwin, explained to our american partners cbs news. there are a number of examples where boats have hit wales in the mediterranean and off the coast of spain so it is likely why the whale had this dramatic experience, she associates them with part of her experience to survive in this part and she is looking at these boats as the enemy and she's basically taking that behaviour, learned, passing it and deflecting it to the ships and teaching that to the other whales. i spoke to the the man behind the video, ian hamilton.

i asked if he felt he was in danger. not at the time. i was just concerned about trying to keep a course. afterwards, you suddenly realise these are big old animals. and yeah, it was fairly terrifying. but at the moment you're just trying to make sure the crew is safe and the boat keeps floating. and this dominant female white gladys is she orca that you recognize? it fits the category when we explained to the coast guard because we have to call in the coast

guard because they broke off our rudder. and they knew that that was probably gladys because it's one dominant female with three or four calves and she's got them well trained. i mean, magnificent. the ability to do that sort ofjoined up attack on the boat. they weren't trying to sink the boat. they just seemed to want to eat the rudder. so the boat was getting pushed around? my boat, 21 tons, 50 feet, and they were pushing it about. it was a toy. it was quite scary. and the dangerous thing was trying to hold the wheel because the power they put back through the rudder could have easily brought a risk ora harm. incredible animals.

so what do you think their intention was? was itjust purely play or do you think they were on another mission? i think it's play. having been brought back to a local marina, there's another boat been hit today and there has been four other boats hit in the last week. so this has been whilst there's been stories of attacks, it's a higher number than we could ever anticipate. so we need to try and understand the motivation because at the moment there isn't a protocol. we drop the sails when stationary and quiet as possible. that seemed to calm them down. when i tried to run from them, that got them excited and they started hitting us harder. so switched off the engine and just sat quietly and they spun the boat around like a yo yo. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. good afternoon. for the vast majority of us, it's a beautiful day of weather with plenty of blue sky and sunshine around, such as here in denbighshire in wales. the photo sent in by our weather watcher. it's also brightened up across east anglia, where it's been cloudy and really quite cool for much of the week. this is beautiful.

this is diss in in norfolk. now it's all set to continue as we head through the rest of next week, too. the outlook is looking dry and settled. some dry and settled. of the wind could blow more areas some of the wind could blow more areas of cloud to eastern areas. a bit of missed developing tomorrow morning. a milder start to sunday morning and the cloud will burn back to the clouds. just a small chance of a shower or two popping up over northern ireland and the south west of scotland but even here temperatures will peak in the late 20s in celsius. the sunshine and the high—temperature is the further west you are. the sunshine is still strong at this time of year. the grass pollen levels are high and will remain so until next week.

into monday, similar. the cloud burning back to the coast as the sunshine gets to work, breezy to the north sea facing coast and the highest temperatures and the most sunshine the further west you are. the same is true on tuesday when it could be a cloudy start for many over the south of the uk. the area of high pressure keeping us dry and settled with that immigrant will drift the temperatures could start to climb and there is a depression out in the atlantic that could bring a few showers to the far south—west of england and maybe a bit more in the way of high cloud but this is the outlook for the capital cities. the vast majority, the sunshine continues and temperatures will start to rise.

this is bbc news. the headlines: officials in india say more than 280 people have died and over a thousand have been injured in a trash crash — the deadliest rail disaster in two decades. the indian prime minister, narendra modi, has visited the crash site and says he is distressed. turkish president recep erdogan has been sworn in for a third time at a ceremony at the parliament in ankara. mr erdogan won a run—off race last week amid allegations

that the election was neither free or fair due to his
