live from london, this is bbc news. desperate familes search for loved ones after one of india's deadliest train crashes leaves at least 275 people dead. a fabulous young man — the family of 17—year—old boy who died off the coast of bournemouth pay tribute. petrol and diesel prices could rise as a group of oil producing nations extend cuts in output. hello and welcome, i'm samantha simmonds. we start in india, where relatives of the victims of friday's deadly train crash have been continuing their desperate efforts to find their loved ones. some have travelled for 30 hours

to the crash scene in odisha searching hospitals and morgues on the way. we know at least 275 people died in the accident involving three trains. these are some of the latest drone pictures from the scene, where work has been continuing to remove the wreckage. an investigation is ongoing but a signalling fault is emerging as the likely cause of the disaster — india's worst rail accident for decades. our correspondent, archana shukla sent this report from the scene. inconsolable and traumatised. himanshu can barely speak. his brother was on the train that crashed. "can i see my brother, just once?" he keeps repeating. a student himself, 22—year—old himanshu even sold his phone to come find his brother. he is just one of the many families in the desperate search to find those missing.

and at this makeshift morgue, every person is sifting through stacks of photos, hoping to find a familiar face. but not everyone yet has answers. ten members of mukul singh�*s family were on the train. eight found, one dead, and one still missing. his family spent £160, much beyond their means, to come here. "these photos are unrecognisable. "how could we find him in this? "i had never thought this would happen. "just a day before we had so much fun," he told me. many families arriving at the accident site only to find their relatives being moved elsewhere. with limited resources to manage

the dead, government has now shifted all the casualties to the capital city, five hours away from here. but over 180 bodies still remain unidentified. officials have started posting photos of dead bodies on government websites and have said they'll start resorting to dna identification. these tracks that tell the story of loss are still being cleared. rail services yet to be restored. and questions on what led to the disaster still unanswered. what we have found is that there is probability of some kind of signalling, i won't even call it a failure, of signalling interference. it's now on the government, whose flagship programme has been more high—speed trains, to deliver answers. archana shukla, bbc news, balasore, odisha.

earlier i spoke to the journalist anisha dutta, who's been reporting on the indian railways. she gave her assessment on what had gone wrong. firstly there was initial probe conducted by the senior supervisors. the assessment was a similar assessment the minister said also about a potential failure assessment the minister said also about a potentialfailure in assessment the minister said also about a potential failure in the signal system. what's more shocking however is that there were red flags that were raised months before. there was warnings issued by rail officials mentioning categorically and scathing letters there was a flaw in the system. there has do have some heads rolling wide maintenance wasn't up to the mark. officials also warned in these letters about a serious failure in even maintaining the technical

aspect of the signalling system. it aspect of the signalling system. it is a huge system, the world's fourth largest rail network, carrying 20 million people every single day. it seems in your research that there are many decades perhaps of failures for this system?— for this system? yes. the last such accident happened _ for this system? yes. the last such accident happened in _ for this system? yes. the last such accident happened in 2016. - for this system? yes. the last such accident happened in 2016. we - for this system? yes. the last such accident happened in 2016. we hadj accident happened in 2016. we had multiple casualties. in a similar case, there was an internal probe with the railways and the indian government also handed over the probe to the national investigative agency for a potential terror angle. afterfour agency for a potential terror angle. after four years, agency for a potential terror angle. afterfour years, india agency for a potential terror angle. after four years, india railways said there was actually an error of corrosion and building in the railway tracks. so again, as we can see in this case as well, the indian government has just announced it will hand over the probe to the central bureau of investigation,

which has traditionally always investigated the criminal angle in such cases. i investigated the criminal angle in such cam-— investigated the criminal angle in such cases-— investigated the criminal angle in such cases. ,, ., , ., such cases. i guess what people want to know is what _ such cases. i guess what people want to know is what difference _ such cases. i guess what people want to know is what difference will - such cases. i guess what people want to know is what difference will it - to know is what difference will it make? because one criticism has been that the network is so large and under such pressure, it is very difficult to actually maintain it when it is in in such constant use? of course, it is a mammoth network. it caters to over 20 million passengers a day. it requires a huge amount of manpower and as we have pointed out before, the indian railways is facing a shortage of manpower as well. it's very crucial in maintaining the infrastructure, you need station masters and gang men, they monitor the condition and safety of the tracks. another issue is of course at the same time, the government has been very bullish on modernising its fleet, on getting new trains. in fact the day of the accident, modi was going to flag up

accident, modi was going to flag up a new modern fleet of trains. the issueis a new modern fleet of trains. the issue is of course of maintaining the infrastructure but we also see another issue is of actually not adhering to these warnings that have been raised by railway officials in the past before.— been raised by railway officials in the past before. the family of the 17—year—old boy who died after getting into difficulty in the water off bournemouth beach this week say they are heartbroken and devastated at his death. joe abbess and a 12—year—old girl, named locally as sunnah khan, from high wycombe in buckinghamshire, died in the incident. it also affected eight other swimmers on wednesday. duncan kennedy reports. sunnah khan and joe abbess are known to each other in life, driven together by tragedy in death. they had been among ten swimmers involved in the incident by bournemouth pier last wednesday, and died. in their statement tonight, joe's parents from southampton said

he had been enjoying a day at the beach. they said... it's still not clear what happened, but the police say the swimmers were not hit by a boat orjet ski. the identity of sunnah khan was also confirmed today. she was 12 and lived in high wycombe. sunnah's funeral was held here at the central mosque in high wycombe yesterday and attracted more than 200 people. a close family member told me that she was a lovely girl and that everyone was deeply upset. eight other swimmers were injured in the incident. friends of sunnah and joe have been paying tributes online, capturing their lives

with messages of love, loss and the heartache of unfinished youth. duncan kennedy, bbc news. we could all be paying more for petrol and diesel soon. it's after oil exporting countries including saudi arabia and russia, that are part of a big group called opec plus, agreed to extend cuts in production. in a statement following talks in vienna, the group, which is facing flagging global oil prices, said it was committed to a stable oil market. together the cartel delivers about 40% of global oil production, meaning its decisions can have huge influence on the market and prices. earlier, i spoke to independent energy analyst cornelia meyer who's been following the meeting in vienna. the opec+ members, countries, are very concerned about the state of the global economy and they look

at rising interest rates and a look at the effect that will have on the demand. they've also seen deteriorating oil prices for some time now. they came slightly up as people started thinking that the cuts might be extended. so that's why they took the cuts. it's a preventative measure for what they see as a weak economy. yes, and they've also decided to move production, haven't they, from some countries to others? why, and who is going to impact? well, i think what they've done is two things. one, they have seen that there were some countries who are just not able for some time to fulfil the quotas. when you look at where the quota was and how much was actually produced, there was an underperformance of more than 2 million barrels a day. so they have shifted from the countries that could not produce to give a little bit more to some countries that could produce. they've done another thing. they've now taken three independent sources, such as platts,

such as wood mackenzie, to verify what the production is so there is more transparency. this is all intended to increase transparency in oil markets because they see that as actually quite important to determine what the right production level is. opec+ controls 40% of the oil's output. western nations have accused them of manipulating prices, undermining the global economy through high energy costs. howjustified are those accusations in your view? those accusations in my view are not justified because when you look at them, we have an energy transition going on. so we couldn't, we shouldn't think that oil prices that are too low and encourage people to use more oil is a good thing from that sense. also, when you look at this, there is not sufficient investment. there has not been sufficient

investment for about ten years in the oil and gas sector and if you look at what we think will be an increased demand over the next ten years or so, given that world population is growing, especially in emerging economies, they will need more oil. we need more production, we need more investment in order to meet the production. so in that sense, in terms of stability of the oil market, i think it's the right decision because also for consumers, when prices oscillate too much, it's very hard to make the right decisions let's say as an airline, in terms of what you want to do. things become, planning becomes very difficult. the immigration minister has claimed the uk's asylum system is "riddled with abuse" and that the country must reduce its reliance on hotels to house migrants. meanwhile, the number of people who have reached the uk in small boats so far this year has fallen to 7,610 compared with the same

period last year, which was nearly 10,000. here is immigration minister robert jenrick speaking to the bbc�*s laura kuensberg earlier. we cannot be reliant on hotels, we have to use things like barges or disused army bases. we also cannot allow the uk to be seen to be a soft touch and i have spent the last week visiting european countries, france, italy, those further upstream in north africa and other european countries are grappling with the same challenge, how to accommodate very large numbers of mostly economic migrants, how to deal with their cases in an efficient manner. the asylum system is riddled with abuse, we have be honest. you have been in charge of it for 13 years. - we have to be honest with the public and the way to tackle to tackle that is changing fundamentally the way we handle asylum and that is what we are

do with the illegal migration bill. our political correspondent helen catt joins me from westminster. the government facing a lot of criticism over its policies on these boats and people coming over in them. , . , , boats and people coming over in them. , ., , , ., ., them. yes, it has been. you heard robertjenrick_ them. yes, it has been. you heard robert jenrick are _ them. yes, it has been. you heard robert jenrick are set _ them. yes, it has been. you heard robert jenrick are set out - them. yes, it has been. you heard robert jenrick are set out the - robertjenrick are set out the reasons why the government is taking this stance but there has been a lot of criticism of the way that the government is taking action against the individuals who are crossing the channel. their plan to detain and remove anybody who arrives illegally and barred access to the asylum system in the uk. there has been a lot of criticism of that from some politicians and actually in the house of lords here, which this week will return to considering the government's proposal or to enable them to do this. there is another point around, real them to do this. there is another pointaround, realflashpoint them to do this. there is another point around, real flashpoint has been this issue of housing asylum seekers and hotels that you just heard robertjenrick talking about there. it is costly. it costs about £7 million a day, about £2.5 billion a year and you heard him their

reference some of the other solutions that the government is looking at. things like housing people on barges and in disused military bases but that will also, the cost. the bbc has learned of internal government projections which suggest the home office is estimating that have to spend between 3— £6 million over the next two years on that detention removal and ongoing accommodation costs. there is some concern among government insiders that the cost of this are escalating. but politically in the uk, it's very important for the government to be seen to be tackling this because the prime minister rishi sunak has made a personal pledge to stop the boats and we are expecting to hear more from him on this tomorrow. helen, for thank you- _ to ukraine next. the military there is claiming to have made small advances in two areas of the front line in the east of the country. it isn't yet clear whether this is part of a much—anticipated counter—offensive against russian forces. despite the danger in these areas, thousands of ukrainians

are returning to their homes close to the front line — even though officials are urging them to stay away. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse has been to the eastern town of pokrovsk, to find out why some are deciding to go home. the end of the line. we're on a journey, which people are being told not to take. a train notjust to the battlefield, but home. viktoria has had enough of being a refugee and is heading back with her precious cargo. her baby. translation: it was impossible to live like that. _ we travelled all around slovakia and ukraine but i have to settle our family. this is where we belong. after travelling across the country, she's welcomed by who she left behind. her husband, serhiy.

translation: i feel overwhelmed and very glad to see my beautiful i daughter and my wife. here, men typically stay behind to eitherfight or in serhiy�*s case, work. he and thousands of others chose to stay for this coalmine. it's a major employer which binds pokrovsk together. workers have to balance their safety with simple economics. "i had to continue working", this man tells us. "i also need to financially support my family who've come back." his employer is still hiring staff. despite the dangers, it's an enticing prospect for those thinking about returning. mining is, after all, part of the donetsk region's dna.

before the full scale invasion, pokrovsk�*s population was 65,000. it dropped to a third but is now rising. it's become a destination for those escaping occupied cities. residents have also been enticed back by power and water being restored, but the sharp end of this conflict is just 26 miles from here. it's why locals are being told to stay away. is it safe enough for people to return to pokrovsk? translation: no, even though j pokrovsk is not right at the front of the donetsk region, we cannot say it is a safe city. multiple rocket launchers can reach here. on the outskirts of the city, closer to that threat, is the last line of defence. amidst all of the talk of a ukrainian counteroffensive, there's always a risk of the russians breaking through the line.

there is a sympathy in the trenches for those wanting to come home. "if you have do die", he tells me, "it's better to die at home than somewhere abroad. it's the watchful eyes of soldiers like him which are allowing people to move back into harm's way. for serhiy and viktoria, it's a conscious decision. translation: who knows when it will become safe here? _ maybe a year, two or five. we don't want to wait even one year. overall, we are prepared. yes. in these times of turmoil, there is a hope and believe they won't last forever. futures depend on it. james waterhouse, bbc news, pokrovsk, in eastern ukraine. now to the southern russian region

of belgorod, that borders ukraine. the region has come under heavy fire in recent days — and last night saw more heavy shelling. in the latest development, a group of ukraine—based russian paramilitaries say they've crossed the border into russia, and captured two russian soldiers. in a video, the paramilitaries said they would hand the soldiers back if the governor came to meet them — something the governor says he would do. earlier, belgorod's governor urged all those still living along the ukrainian border to urgently move away in order to avoid the constant cross—border shelling. he said more than 4,000 people had already evacuated and been relocated to temporary accommodation. live now to our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse who is in kyiv. james, welcome to you. what do you make of these developments in belgorod? make of these developments in beluorod? ~ , ., belgorod? well, they are extraordinary, _ belgorod? well, they are extraordinary, aren't - belgorod? well, they are i extraordinary, aren't they? belgorod? well, they are - extraordinary, aren't they? but belgorod? well, they are _ extraordinary, aren't they? but they are also murky. we now know that

that meeting between the governor of belgorod and the paramilitary groups has not happened. the militants are saying he did not turn up and those are russian prisoners of war will be handed to the ukrainian authorities. but i think the signs of these groups crossing the border, claiming to have taken territory, with all of this violence and shelling taking place on russian territory, i think that will delight some privately and worry others. the official stance in kyiv is it is nothing to do with us, it says. these are in their words russian patriot choosing to take up this fight in their own country. but there are questions, there are potential ukrainian fingerprints on this. these volunteer groups are connected to the intelligence service, they crossed the border, that takes organisation. they used western armoured vehicles, for example. and there will be those in the west that are nervous because they have always wanted the world to remain in ukraine because they are

worried if it spreads outwards, that could start a world war. but there is a bit of common ground here, in the sense that both the west and ukraine are planning and hoping to execute a successful counteroffensive, soon, we are told. to do that, they need to draw and keep russian forces guessing and i think this instability inside russia is forcing russian troops to turn their back on the war in ukraine and ukraine will only see that as a good thing. ukraine will only see that as a good thin. , . . , ukraine will only see that as a good thin. , , ., ~ ukraine will only see that as a good thinu. �* ., , , ., 4' ,., ukraine will only see that as a good thin. , , ., ., thing. james in kyiv, thank you for now. now six women have set off today on an epic challenge — to row around the entire coast of great britain. if they complete it, the team will smash a couple of world records — while also carrying out scientific research. our environment correspondent jonah fisher has the story — and a warning his report contains some rapid flashing images. tower bridge in central london. both the start and — if all goes well — the finish line for a journey

of 2,000 miles around great britain. this is known as the world's toughest rowing race. for a reason. six! six knots! amy is the youngest crew member, but is the only one to have rowed across the atlantic ocean. this is so much tougher than the atlantic. navigating busy coastal waters can be more dangerous than following a course through the open sea. the land, the ships, you've got rocks, you've got islands... it's just so much more complicated. last year, all three boats that attempted to go round britain had to be rescued in the irish sea. the waves were huge — you know, like three stories high. oh, here we go... emma somehow kept on filming as her boat capsized. this year, she's the skipper, and if the six women make it back to tower bridge in under 51 days, they'll be record—breakers. this is a nonstop challenge which means the crew are going to be taking it in turns —

rowing for two hours, then having a breakfor two hours. let's just take a quick look at the living quarters down here. emma, talk me through what we've got here. this is where we are. this is our sleeping bags. we've got food that we keep under here. we get freeze—dried food, so it's nice and light. add boiling hot water there — that's our cooker. dare i ask you, emma, what about showers? what about toilets? the shower is a wet wipe and the toilet is a bucket. that's the loo?! there is also a scientific component to the trip. as they row, the boat will be sampling the sea water, recording aquatic sounds and looking for the presence of tiny plastic particles called microplastics. when they leave the thames, the crew will head west along the south coast, before starting the long and potentially treacherous row north towards scotland. jonah fisher, bbc news.

good luck to all the crew. a uk ticket—holder has come forward to claim the £111.7 million jackpot from friday's euromillions draw. lottery operator camelot said it had received a claim which would now go through a process of validation. if verified, this winner will become the 18th uk player to win more than £100 million in a euromillions jackpot. well, we would love to know who that person is, do let us know if it is you. although you won't operably be watching the news if you are. we wanted to end this half hour with some images of a so called strawberry moon that has been captured over england. the full moon, marking the start of meteorological summer, was seen glowing in the sky late on saturday night into the early hours of sunday. although, as you can see from these images, it appeared spectacular,

the strawberry moon was not considered a supermoon. the first supermoon of 2023 — when a full moon is also at its closest point to earth along this orbit — is expected in august. hello there. good evening. more blue sky and sunshine for the vast majority of us across the uk again today. always cooler and breezier towards the south coast. here's hastings in east sussex. the best of the sunshine and the highest temperatures, again, in the west county. down in northern ireland, seeing plenty of blue sky, and some lenticular clouds, as spotted by one of our weather watchers in the north—west of england over the higher ground of the lake district. now, next week, not a lot is set to change. it's dry and it's settled. there will be a lot more sunshine to come in the forecast. again, always best out in the west. there will be some more low cloud moving in from the north sea. plenty of moisture there overnight tonight. the cloud a little more extensive. it's got a head start, of course — it didn't clear for some spots all day, moving into parts of eastern wales and across the south of england, also the central belt,

but it's mild underneath that cloud. temperatures in high single figures, clear skies further west, perhaps a bit of mist forming into tomorrow morning, but it won't take too long to lift and clear. and, of course, that low cloud is set to burn its way back towards the coast, maybe a few spots of drizzle, but otherwise dry underneath that cloud. and the cloud could lingerfor some time, perhaps across the wash, perhaps parts of lincolnshire as well, where temperatures will be lower with that onshore breeze. high values out towards the west, south west of scotland, maybe parts of northern ireland, 23 or 2a degrees celsius. don't forget, the sun is strong at this time of year, and the uv levels will be high, will remain high. the grass pollen levels are also high. now, as we head through tuesday, we see the same thing all over again. perhaps that low cloud more extensive, though, through the morning. again, we are expecting to burn back towards the coast, perhaps producing a few spots of drizzle here and there. some of that cloud lingering again, cooler on the coast, warmer further west, which is where we'll see the best of the day's sunshine yet again — 22 to 2a degrees celsius, maybe for some spots. but things do start to change as the week wears on.

now we'll start to see our area of high pressure just gradually migrate its way further eastwards. this is storm oscar, as named by the spanish met service. it's moving its way northwards. it could produce one or two showers and probably throw some high cloud towards the south—west of england in particula. maybe a few showers across the south. we join a southeasterly wind across south—eastern areas of england, just bringing some much warmer air our way. so across london, for example, through the weekend, we could see highs of 28 degrees.
