the kakhovka dam, supplies water to large tracts of agricultural land, including in crimea. and the reservoir behind it provides water to cool the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, further upriver. both areas are currently, under russian control. president zelensky is warning that hundreds of thousands of people, have been left without clean water, while the un says the dam collapse, will have "grave and far—reaching consequences". james waterhouse is in the flood hit city of kherson for us now. james. this is the chaotic scene in kherson, there is an amphibious vehiclejust over here kherson, there is an amphibious vehicle just over here and you can see the cycle of boats coming back from this huge expanse of water. i don't know if you can see all the way down behind me and what rescue teams are coming back with are either people, their pets or

belongings. they are loaded onto vans before heading off. the united nations talks about far—reaching consequences of the kakhovka damping destroyed. the effects in kherson are feeling incredibly immediate. in all the devastating dimensions of russia's invasion, kherson has experienced the most, a city submerged with fears the worst are still to come. the dnipro river has just got a whole lot wider. 0n kherson's under streets, people do they can. translation: ., , they can. translation: . translation: there was panic yesterday. _ translation: there was panic yesterday. we _ translation: there was panic yesterday, we had _ translation: there was panic yesterday, we had to _ translation: there was panic yesterday, we had to wrap - translation: there was panic- yesterday, we had to wrap everything quickly and take the five dogs with us. my brother is half paralysed and can barely walk. so that is what happened. we can barely walk. so that is what happened-— can barely walk. so that is what ha ened. ~ ., .,, happened. we all hope the flood wouldn't be _ happened. we all hope the flood wouldn't be this _ happened. we all hope the flood wouldn't be this severe. -

but there are constant presence. the kakhovka dam upstream has been leveraged by ukraine and russia for nine years. when russia first annexed crimea, the ukrainian authorities shut it down to cut the pin and chiller from water. authorities shut it down to cut the pin and chillerfrom water. last year they were accused of planting it with explosives, which the kremlin denied. 0ne it with explosives, which the kremlin denied. one side has played its full hand, with endless consequences. this is the continuing effort. 0fficials this is the continuing effort. officials are saying the dam could take up to five years to repair. what does that mean for a city like kherson, after everything it has gone through? it isn't clear, but people have become acclimatised for having to help out each other. we have just heard a shell landed close by. these are the conditions people are trying to both live and help in. james, thank you for that. james waterhouse in kherson, in southern

ukraine. the unite union, has announced 2000 security officers working at heathrow airport, will take part in 31 days of strike action over the summer, in what it calls "a major escalation" of its ongoing pay dispute. now that's pretty much every weekend, from june to august. heathrow says it'll do everything it can to minimise disruption for travellers. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin is with me. for anyone planning to get away the summer, this is terrible news? it could mean longer queues to get through security over the summer busy period. the exact impact is unclear, for example if there will be an impact on schedules? heathrow airport trying to reassure passengers. there have already been strikes in this dispute, that was over the easter holidays and the may bank holiday as well. they involve security officers at terminal five, only used by british airways. and those who check in staff and vehicles, who also have to go through their own security lane. some flights were cancelled in

advance, but contingency plans such as agency workers appear to be keeping the airport working very smoothly. at this fresh wave of strike action involves security officers at terminal three, which is used by virgin atlantic and emirates, among others. the first one of these is due to happen or to start on the 24th ofjune. there will then be further groups of strike action with every weekend in august being affected. this is all about pay. unite say the pay rise of about pay. unite say the pay rise of about 10% on the table is below the rpi measure of inflation. several rounds of talks and the offer of a lump sum have failed to resolve this dispute. unite says it could escalate further and heathrow says it is prepared to keep talking. katie austin, thank you. prince harry, is being cross—examined for a second day at the high court, in his claim against mirror group newspapers, for unlawful information gathering, over details of his private life. yesterday he faced nearly five hours of questioning. here's joe inwood.

as harry arrived, just the briefest of waves towards the waiting press. an institution in his evidence yesterday he said had affected every aspect of his childhood. how much more blood will stain their typing fingers before someone can put a stop to this madness, he told the court. he went on saying, journalists were responsible for causing a lot of pain, upset. prince harry alleges the mirror newspaper group used unlawful methods, including phone hacking to write stories about him, which mgn denies. he said thejournalist stories about him, which mgn denies. he said the journalist behind this piece was known to employ private investigators. the mgm barrister responded, he couldn't have had his mobile phone hacked at the time, because he didn't have one. this morning, prince harry argued this article from 2006 about a visit to a strip club contain details about the time and length of calls that were so specific, it must have been

gained unlawfully. it has been another eventful morning, in which harry's examples have, one by one, been challenged in court. what we are seeing is a real clash of approaches. we have a broad brush, broadside from prince harry against the media, versus a detailed approach from the mirror group newspaper. it is up to the judge to decide which one he believes on the balance of probabilities. the stakes are high for both sides. harry has made it clear taking on the tabloid press is now his life's work. the mirror group have more than their reputation on the line. joe inwood, bbc news, at the high court. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds was inside court this morning. 0ne suspects everyone in that court room, hanging on every word from the prince? ., . room, hanging on every word from the prince? . . . .,, , prince? clive, watching the cross examination _ prince? clive, watching the cross examination this _ prince? clive, watching the cross examination this morning, - prince? clive, watching the cross examination this morning, it - prince? clive, watching the cross examination this morning, it has| examination this morning, it has become clear there is a pattern in the questions that prince harry is

being asked by andrew green for the newspapers. each time it takes a story, and he says it could have been obtained legitimately, and not unlawfully. it could have come from other newspapers, from buckingham palace sources, or a wide variety of other sources, including eyewitnesses who might have seen prince harry out at a nightclub or with his girlfriend chelsy davy. the stories, a lot of them were about her. in response, prince harry says the information was so personal about him it must have come, for example, phone hacking. it was put to him there were convictions for phone hacking in 2007 and it would be highly risky hacking the phone of a senior member of the royal family. he said while the risk was worth the reward for the journalist and he said it would be an injustice if the court found that his phone had not been hacked, given the industrial scale to which phone hacking was put by the media, by the press during this period. no prince harry has not yet finished, he has taken a quick lunch break, he has a few more

minutes in court to finish his evidence, despite a lot of people waiting here, ithink evidence, despite a lot of people waiting here, i think he will be out later this afternoon.— a cyber crime gang thought to be based in russia, has issued an ultimatum to victims of a hack, that's hit a number of organisations, including the bbc, british airways and boots. the clop cyber gang of criminals, has published a notice online, warning they'll release the stolen data, unless they hear from the companies by mid—june. more than 100,000 staff at the targeted organisations, have been told their personal payroll data, is now compromised. gps in england could start offering weight loss drugs to patients, under government plans to expand access to treatment on the nhs. the two—year pilot scheme is aimed at tackling obesity, reducing pressure on hospitals. our medical editor, fergus walsh, is here. what more do we know about this? this is about this weekly weight

loss injection, it can be administered at home. in trials, people tend to lose at least 10% of their body weight, so very effective. the drug works by mimicking a hormone released after eating, so it makes you feel full and blunt the appetite. it was approved earlier this year in england, but access only via specialist weight loss clinics which would limited to about 35,000 obese patients per year. this new plan, a pilot study, £40 million, it would open up access to several thousand more but the direction of travel is clear. if that was successful, then it could open up to huge numbers of people, 12 million roughly obese adults in england. it comes with side effects, potentially nausea, diarrhoea, constipation. 0ne side effects, potentially nausea, diarrhoea, constipation. one of the concerns is that once you come off the drug people tend to start

putting the weight back on. but i think one of the clear things here is weight loss jabs like this and there are more coming down the track, are likely to be part of the plan to tackle obesity in future. fergus, thank you. fergus walsh. a man accused of murdering a metropolitan police officer by shooting him at a custody centre "pulled the trigger on purpose", his trial heard. louis de zoysa denies killing seregeant matt ratana by shooting him at the custody centre in croydon, south london, on 25th september 2020. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is outside northampton crown court. what else have we heard. we have been told louix _ what else have we heard. we have been told louix de _ what else have we heard. we have been told louix de zoysa _ what else have we heard. we have been told louix de zoysa has - what else have we heard. we have been told louix de zoysa has been| been told louix de zoysa has been sat in a wheelchair because he

on suspicion of possessing ammunition and he was taken to the police station in the back of the van, which was after a thorough search of the back. the jury were told by the prosecution, what the police had not discovered was louiz de zoysa was concealing a gun, probably under one of his armpits. daniel, thank you. our top story this afternoon... ukraine says tens of thousands of people are at risk from flooding, after the collapse of a major dam. coming up... west ham fans descend on prague ahead of their club's europa conference league final against fiorentina tonight. coming against fiorentina tonight. up on bbc news. moee comes coming up on bbc news. moeen ali comes out of test retirement to join the england squad for the first two tests of the ashes series against australia. mps are warning that a generation of disadvantaged children will fall

further behind with their education if the government doesn't do more to help them catch up after the pandemic. it comes as it emerged that 13% of schools failed to take up the department for education's national tutoring programme which offers subsidised tuition. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley has the details. could you draw that as a bar model for me and show me what that would look like? this is bellfield junior school in birmingham, a school at the heart of its community. it is in an area which has high levels of deprivation. how well children do at school is often linked to their home life. poverty has made catching up after the pandemic even more challenging. unfortunately some of our children, a small amount of our children, have a variety of safeguarding issues that you have to try and unpick. we've always had a small group of children that needed additional phonics work. but last year, for example, we had to change our whole reading curriculum for the first term because the whole year group, virtually the whole year

group, needed phonics. we've got huge classes, you know, 30 children. children came back with more complex needs than they'd ever had before. we've had a lot more emotional outbursts than we've ever had before, so, upset in the classroom, not wanting to take part in social activities. we had some children not wanting to come into school, fearing the start of a day, the start of a new term has always been difficult since the pandemic. a key part of the government's educational recovery plan is the national tutoring programme which promised subsidised one—to—one support and additional tutors to help with lost learning. as well as not being able to get tutors, this head said it's become too costly and complicated. this year they're only going to allow us to have 50% funding, and our budgets have dropped so dramatically, we can't afford that. these year 6 pupils havejust done their sats exams and say teachers here have worked hard on helping them stay positive and resilient.

they're really supportive about stuff that we don't understand and when we got back to school they always helped us with different stuff that we were confused about and didn't have that much help over covid. today a committee of mps are calling for a more targeted approach from the government to help the most disadvantaged children. we're really concerned that the progress made in closing the gap between disadvantaged and advantaged pupils before covid is going to take ten years to get back to now after covid — that's just too slow. the department for education says it is conscious of the effect the pandemic has had on pupils and has made £5 billion available for education recovery. school bell rings. for those in education, the pressures and financial challenges are alarming. schools need to have the correct funding, they need to have the funding that allows them to have the correct levels of staff for the need of the school. everybody i talk to including myself think it's becoming almost impossible. there is concern that if schools like this aren't given the right support with catch—up,

a generation of children could be left behind. elaine dunkley, bbc news. pope francis is to have surgery for an abdominal hernia in rome later today. the vatican says his medical team had decided surgery was required and it is expected he will be in hospital for the next few days. concerns are being raised about the treatment of vulnerable adults in care in northern ireland. the safeguarding system is meant to protect those at risk of abuse, exploitation or neglect, but northern ireland's public service watchdog says it is not fit for purpose. this comes as details have emerged of a dementia patient who hadn't showered for three months and was found wrapping a cord round his neck. niall mccracken has that story. # watch that scene, digging the dancing queen... stanley 0'neill was diagnosed with dementia when he was in his 70s. his family reluctantly placed him into care when he became unable to cope at home, and he would have a number

of different hospital and different care home stays, but his last would be bradley manor nursing home in belfast in january 2021. soon after, his family became aware of some concerning incidents. i had been keeping track of things that were going on in his room. i had noticed that his call bell had been removed, there was no information in regards to this, and it was only mentioned because i had highlighted, where is his call bell? and the nursing home said to me that he was seen wrapping the cord around his neck and they had removed it. this was almost like passed down weeks later. why didn't you inform me as a family member? mr 0'neill�*s case comes as bbc news ni can reveal that there has been an increase in adult safeguarding referrals since 2019, and northern ireland's public healthcare watchdog has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the system. when those cases come to me, we do tend to see very serious failings. staff are unclear about what those processes are and when they should use them and for what purpose.

and i have seen so many times in my complaints where it is the family members who have drawn the attention of staff to where their have been failings. 0ur adult safeguarding is not fit for purpose. over the course of the next year, stanley's health would go downhill and he would die in hospital in december 2021. since then, a belfast trust investigation uncovered a number of concerning incidents in the nursing home that were not reported properly and that mr 0'neill�*s family were not told about. my grandfather was seen placing a pillowcase over his head. that was really, really upsetting for me, really distressing, because why was that not being followed up? because that is alarming behaviour. the investigation found that in the last three months of his life, there were aspects of mr 0'neill�*s care in bradley manor that fell short of the expected standard. 0n hygiene, it found a failure by the care home to provide adequate oral care to mr o'neill and noted a lack of showering during the last

three months of his life. in a statement, bradley manor care home offered its condolences and apologised to mr 0'neill�*s family. it said the well—being of its residents was its main focus and that it had already implemented a number of changes to address the shortfalls identified by the report. i look at a grave now and this system really did let my grandfather down, so i feel we need to review this to make sure that nothing like this happens again to any other family out there. northern ireland is still the only part of the uk without specific adult safeguarding legislation. niall mccracken, bbc news. new figures show house prices have fallen by 1% compared to a year ago. it's the first drop since 2012. britain's biggest mortgage lender, the halifax, says rising borrowing costs are knocking confidence. 0ur cost of living correspondent kevin peachey is here. kevin, first fall in more than a decade, a big moment?-

mini budget and charged, it peaks there after the mini budgetand it charged, it peaks there after the mini budget and it fell away, but it has been rising again on the expectation of the bank of england putting up interest rates, that red line at the top there is a two—year fixed deal and the rate on that is getting quite close to 6%. so, that is a real concern for first—time buyers who are seeing mortgage rates rising and at the same time the cost of living is affecting their ability to save for a deposit, that is an unhappy mix for anyone trying to buy theirfirst home, even unhappy mix for anyone trying to buy their first home, even though you would think they would be happy to see house prices falling. keein see house prices falling. kevin peachey. _ see house prices falling. kevin peachey, thank _ see house prices falling. kevin peachey, thank you. _ west ham take on the italian side fiorentina in the europa conference league final in prague tonight and our correspondent andy swiss is there. andy, not the biggest of stadiums for a showpiece final, one suspects? no, that is white, but we certainly have plenty of west ham supporters

here. welcome to the main square here. welcome to the main square here in prague where as you can see west ham supporters are gathering in their thousands ahead of what could be an historic night. this is a club that hasn't won a major trophy since 1980, and hasn't won a major european trophy since the 1960s, but tonight, well, that mightjust change. # i'm forever blowing bubbles #. the prague party is under way. thousands of west ham fans flocking to the city, hoping their long wait for silverware could soon be over. i've never been able to really see any of the glory days of west ham, so the thought of being in a final and having the opportunity to actually win a trophy, a major trophy is massive. it's going to mean everything, the whole town's going to be buzzing. see, when we get back i'll party for a month, mate, trust me. . if we win, we get into the europa league next season

so we want more european tours and so do all these lot as well. and for hammers fan andy, it could be particularly special. don't mind me asking, what year were you born and why was it so significant? 1965, the last time west ham won a major european trophy. archive: bobby moore placed the kick well, i and sealey scored again. that's right, it is some 58 years since west ham did this. winners of the european cup winners cup. now the decades of disappointment since then could end on — guess what? andy's 58th birthday. it's a lifetime isn't it? a total lifetime, literally. west ham winning a european trophy, oh, it'd mean, everything man, absolutely massive. well, this is where the hammers will be hoping to make history. the fortuna arena is a pretty small venue, the capacity is just 20,000 and west ham were allocated a mere 5,000 tickets. but for the fans and for

the players, it'll be the biggest of occasions. west ham struggled in the premier league this season, finishing just 14th. but here in europe, well, it's been a different story. it's not easy to go through the season playing in the premier league and also having to be competitive in this competition. and we have been, so i think it's a great achievement for all the players to be sitting here or being here today. the next part is to see if we can go on and win it now. commentator: he can finish it all here... - and so after beating az alkmaar in the semifinals, the fans are ready for an even bigger celebration. after so many years of waiting, well, just maybe this time. andy swift, bbc news, prague. it was a low—budget, feel—good comedy about a group of former steel workers who decided to make a bob or two by stripping off. well, the full monty went on to become a global hit, making more than $250 million.

26 years on, the stars are back for a tv series about what happened after that revealing night in 1997. david sillito has been to meet them. # you can leave your hat on. the full monty — a little low—budget film about six blokes who needed to make a bit of extra cash and were convinced this was a way of doing it. it became a massive hit. and now after more than 25 years, the gang are back together. i know you lot from somewhere. strippers! are you still doing it? what do you think? give me strength. but rather than pick up where the film ended in 1997, the tv series catches up with the characters today. here, all meeting up again in the big baps cafe. so when you walk into big baps and everyone's there together, what was the feel like? i was so delighted to be back

working with wee steve and mark and paul and all the gang. the full monty, you know, it's followed me around through my entire career like a big, warm shadow, you know? and there's a bond between us guys through that, you know, only we understand what that was about. # looking for some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'. in the originalfilm, the story was about unemployment and what it did to people. this is thejob centre from 1997. and it's still there today, but as you can see, the city around it has been transformed. but the new series is all about the problems of britain in 2023. and this is probably the most important of all of the locations because this is, of course, where they did the full monty. however, as you can see, it's seen better days. and for peter price, who's represented this are for 50
