how the past two days have gone. we have heard from colleagues following proceedings in the courtroom that prince _ proceedings in the courtroom that prince harry yesterday when he appeared — prince harry yesterday when he appeared was a bit nervous to start off with _ appeared was a bit nervous to start off with he — appeared was a bit nervous to start off with. he gained confidence as the game — off with. he gained confidence as the game went on. we talked about how he _ the game went on. we talked about how he had — the game went on. we talked about how he had flown in from america on monday overnight and perhaps he was feeling _ monday overnight and perhaps he was feeling a _ monday overnight and perhaps he was feeling a bitjet—lagged yesterday and as— feeling a bitjet—lagged yesterday and as the afternoon went on he appeared — and as the afternoon went on he appeared a little weary. today, colleagues who have been following court proceedings have told us that prince _ court proceedings have told us that prince harry has appeared much more confident— prince harry has appeared much more confident in— prince harry has appeared much more confident in the witness box when he has been _ confident in the witness box when he has been facing this very tough cross—examination by the barrister for the _ cross—examination by the barrister for the publisher, cross—examination by the barrister forthe publisher, he has cross—examination by the barrister for the publisher, he has been trying — for the publisher, he has been trying to— for the publisher, he has been trying to pick holes in prince harry's— trying to pick holes in prince harry's case. trying to pick holes in prince harry's case-— trying to pick holes in prince har 's case. ., . ,, harry's case. helena wilkinson, thank you _ harry's case. helena wilkinson, thank you we _ harry's case. helena wilkinson, thank you. we are _ harry's case. helena wilkinson, thank you. we are still- harry's case. helena wilkinson, thank you. we are still here - harry's case. helena wilkinson, thank you. we are still here at. harry's case. helena wilkinson, i thank you. we are still here at the high court in london, expecting to hear a little more from prince harry and his own barrister as this case continues. for now we will go back to the studio.

nancy and helena dipping across what is happening inside court. we are keeping across what is happening in washington. we can take you to arlington cemetery in washington. the minute we get there we lose the picture. typical. there it is. the prime minister rishi sunak is in washington. this is his visit to arlington cemetery, the famous cemetery where there is the tomb of the unknown soldier as well as many

soldiers from world war i, world war ii and other us wars around the world. he is expected to meet us presidentjoe biden later where they will discuss a number of things, including a flagship package of investment in green industries. he has been talking about trying very hard to talk about subsidy races, which are not a solution, he says, to hitting climate goals. he is expected to talk about boosting green technology with the united states president, he is expected to talk about the war in ukraine, specifically of course the damp, and also the regulation of artificial intelligence. we can take a moment to watch what the prime minister is doing.

present arms! we do have a few issues there with people working those cameras at the arlington cemetery. just to bring you up—to—date, prime minister rishi sunak is in washington, visiting the cemetery where he has paid his respects to the tomb of the unknown

soldier. later on he will meet president biden at the white house where the two men will discuss green technology, green subsidies, and i'm sure they will also talk about the war in ukraine and according to the prime minister's spokesman they will also be talking about artificial intelligence and the regulation of ai. we will try to bring you pictures of arlington. i think the camera has stabilised and we can look at the prime minister. i think the camera... ok, we have another angle now.

i think potentially maybe it's a good time to move on. we are going to go back to our top story this hour and talk about harry. prince harry still in court, his second day of cross—examination. he is being cross—examined by the mirror group newspapers kc. it has been an intense day for the prince as he trawled through newspaper articles from his past in an effort to try and prove that stories on him were obtained by illegal methods. we can speak now to a legal commentator and partner at a solicitors which has successfully represented people in claims of phone hacking against mirror group newspapers. i can't think of anyone better to talk me through today. i don't know if you have been keeping across what is happening in terms of

the cross—examination. have you seen anything that has surprised you, have you seen anything that suggests prince harry is on the back foot or has he been coping well? i prince harry is on the back foot or has he been coping well?- prince harry is on the back foot or has he been coping well? i think he is coin: has he been coping well? i think he is ceping very _ has he been coping well? i think he is ceping very well _ has he been coping well? i think he is coping very well indeed. - has he been coping well? i think he is coping very well indeed. given i is coping very well indeed. given the intensity of this, almost seven hours of cross—examination, five hours of cross—examination, five hours yesterday, two more today and a bit this afternoon, he has been very calm and cool. he has been very polite and courteous in the way he has dealt with matters. i think it must have been difficult for him because it is going over a period of his life when his relationship with chelsy davy was in huge strain and sadly for them didn't work out. i think you can look back and feel well pleased with himself. one of the things people don't realise is when a witness is in the box this way they are not allowed to talk to anybody about the case so in a sense

he has been on his own and has no real idea of how he is performing. nobody will be speaking to him saying you have done well or whatever. so far, so good, and i think if anything if i was the daily mirror i think i would be rather concerned because i don't think they have landed a solid punch against him. , ., ., ., him. dos they need to land a solid -unch him. dos they need to land a solid punch against _ him. dos they need to land a solid punch against prince _ him. dos they need to land a solid punch against prince harry, - him. dos they need to land a solid punch against prince harry, or- him. dos they need to land a solid | punch against prince harry, or resit up punch against prince harry, or resit up to prince harry to prove his case is correct and what is saying is correct because there was a moment earlier where the kc asked him about something, about how many times he thinks his phone may have been hacked and i think he replied by saying, i don't know, that's why i am here. that does sound a little bit wishy—washy. i am here. that does sound a little bit wishy-washy._ am here. that does sound a little bit wishy-washy. i understand that, but the problem _ bit wishy-washy. i understand that, but the problem is, _ bit wishy-washy. i understand that, but the problem is, there _ bit wishy-washy. i understand that, but the problem is, there is - bit wishy-washy. i understand that, but the problem is, there is a - bit wishy-washy. i understand that, but the problem is, there is a huge| but the problem is, there is a huge number of phone calls and call data available to him and it will be in terms of the submissions finally

made at the end of the trial as to the impact on him and actually the number of times he was hacked. and although he can't be absolutely certain when he was because some telephone calls, some interceptions will be longer than others, but as far as i am concerned i think he has done very well. there will obviously be, and this is why he has come over well, because he has admitted what he doesn't know, but i think he is well on the way to proving his case. and remember, this only has to be on the civil standard, the balance of probabilities, not the criminal standard where you have to be absolutely sure. it's the balance of probabilities and if he does that, then his kc will win. it probabilities and if he does that, then his kc will win.— then his kc will win. it doesn't mean he _ then his kc will win. it doesn't mean he has _ then his kc will win. it doesn't mean he has to _ then his kc will win. it doesn't mean he has to unequivocally| then his kc will win. it doesn't - mean he has to unequivocally prove it has happened. what does it mean, then, what does he have to prove in then, what does he have to prove in the balance of probabilities? fin then, what does he have to prove in the balance of probabilities?- the balance of probabilities? on the balance of probability _ the balance of probabilities? on the balance of probability he _ the balance of probabilities? on the balance of probability he has - the balance of probabilities? on the balance of probability he has to - balance of probability he has to show that they misused his private information either by intercepting his phone calls or those of his friends, but particularly his, and the case is made out. you link that to the articles, you link that to

the private investigator invoices. so you have a scenario where you have a private investigator paid for doing something and it coincides with the time of the call data and it all links together, you put it together and that will come in the final submissions and indeed is referred to in some cases in his witness statement.— referred to in some cases in his witness statement. ., ., witness statement. taught me through what the continuing _ witness statement. taught me through what the continuing process _ witness statement. taught me through what the continuing process is - witness statement. taught me through what the continuing process is after- what the continuing process is after this cross—examination because it's not over for prince harry after this. ., �* , ., , this. no, it's not. he will be finally re-examined, - this. no, it's not. he will be finally re-examined, as - this. no, it's not. he will be finally re-examined, as the | this. no, it's not. he will be - finally re-examined, as the council finally re—examined, as the council in court was made aware this afternoon, for another ten or 15 minutes. i understand the next witness is somebody being called by the mirror, one of the rare journalists involved in this being produced by the defendants, i think her name isjudith kerr. we will then work through other witnesses in relation to those directly related to prince harry, and then we move on to prince harry, and then we move on to the next claimant, who i think is

sanderson, perhaps two more to go after her. they again will be cross—examined by the kc for the mirror group and then we'll get to the end and we will have what is known as closing commissions. that will happen in about a week and a half time. both parties will have their final speeches and then it will be for thejudge their final speeches and then it will be for the judge to take the vast amount of material away and make a judgment which i would imagine wouldn't be the autumn. gerald shamash, i appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. thank you for asking me. we can go back to the high court in london and we can bring back in my colleague nancy kacungira, who is outside the high court. there is no car there, outside the high court. there is no carthere, no outside the high court. there is no car there, no readiness, outside the high court. there is no carthere, no readiness, it outside the high court. there is no car there, no readiness, it doesn't look like the end of prince harry

pot �*s cross—examination is imminent. he has made it clear how these stories have impacted him and his mental health. that's one of the most fascinating aspects of the whole thing. most fascinating aspects of the whole thing-— most fascinating aspects of the whole thin. , ,, ., whole thing. yes, i think one thing that peeple _ whole thing. yes, i think one thing that peeple are — whole thing. yes, i think one thing that people are really _ whole thing. yes, i think one thing that people are really responding i whole thing. yes, i think one thing l that people are really responding to is just the scale, and the impact of the scale that this has had on his life. he has talked about how he felt, from a child being targeted. i want to bring you a really strong line that is coming out off the court right now. we do have one of our correspondence inside the courtroom and this is a line that is being fed to us out here. he says prince harry has told the court that he once found a tracking device on the car belonging to his ex—girlfriend chelsy davy. at the time the newspapers were interested in a make or break holiday harry had

had with chelsy davy. prince harry has said this was placed by a private investigator and he has actually named somebody, who the prince has also accused in other cases of targeting him. the prince also says a friend of his, mark dyer, had also found a tracking device on his car. this is pretty big because we have seen him do something he hasn't done much of, naming a specific incident where he is making a big claim, that there was a tracking device place not only on his car, or rather on his ex—girlfriend's car, but also on his friends car. one of the things that friend's car. one of the things that has been happening in the pattern of this case is that a lot of it has been about leading the judge to infer how information could have been gotten but this is a very specific case where he says, my ex girlfriend's car was being tracked. that's one of the lines coming out of the newsroom, out of the courtroom, i should say. i should remind you that what we are

listening into now is the prince's own barrister, david sherborne, doing a re—examination of the prince. the cross examination from the lawyer on the other side, the publisher's lawyer, ended before lunch, but this is now the prince's own lawyer asking him questions and this is where we have got this rather shocking revelation from. nancy, thank you. we will bring you the latest from the high court as soon as we see harry leaving, and we will bring that moment. for now, let's go on a short break for some viewers. i have some developing stories from the uk now. security officers at heathrow airport will take part in a fresh wave of strikes this summer that could affect travellers at the uk's busiest airport. around 2000 officers who are members of the unite union will walk out on 31 days

in inundated by floodwaters after the destruction of a dam on the dnipro river. water levels are not yet thought to have peaked and rescue teams are scrambling to help people trapped amid fears of a humanitarian disaster. we can hear sirens there, that's a scene from kherson where water levels have risen by five metres, 16 feet. some of those waiting to be rescued have been forced to spend the night on rooftops or even in trees. the floods have now reached 80 towns on both sides of the dnipro river. the ukrainian authorities say more than 1500 people have been evacuated but there is no information on dead or injured. president zelensky has warned the destruction of the dam at nova kakhovka could leave hundreds of thousands of people without normal access to drinking water. moscow and kyiv both blame each other for the breach. moscow and kyiv both blame each otherfor the breach. here is our correspondence in kherson, james

waterhouse. even standing here it is hard to comprehends the volume of water flowing down the streets of this city. you can see emergency amphibious vehicles moving away now. this would otherwise be an innocuous street but there is a flow of people coming back with their belongings and themselves, being rescued and handed a bottle of water, being helped through the water. it is thought it will take five years to fix the kakhovka dam further upstream. united nations talks about further far—reaching consequences but the effects hearing kherson of 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 hasjust got a whole lot wider.

0n kherson's underwater streets, people do they can. translation: there was panic- yesterday, we had to wrap everything yesterday, we had to grab everything quickly and take the five dogs with us. my brother is half paralysed and can barely walk. so that's what happened. we all hope the flood wouldn't be this severe. there is someone living alone on the third floor alone on the third floor with their pets. we are not sure if the emergency services can enter the building, but they need to know there are more people there. please help. 40,000 people need evacuating, according to the authorities. police have only been able to get 1300 out so far. that's only ukrainians on the river bank kyiv controls. as you try and get closer to the river, you are met with this, it has come to you, effectively.

you can see individual rooftops, we have seen rescue boats go past, trying to pick up people who are trapped. but you can tell by the atmosphere that people have had enough. this is a city that has been both occupied, then liberated. it comes underfrequent shelling, and now this. russia may have retreated from here, but they're 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 peninsular off from water. last year they were accused of planting it with explosives, which the kremlin denied. one side has played its full hand, with endless consequences. what we are seeing is a humanitarian relief effort taking place in an active war zone.—

relief effort taking place in an active war zone. g ., , . ., ., , active war zone. james waterhouse there. we can bring you some breaking news from the last few minutes regarding the dam. there has been a phone call apparently between president erdogan of turkey and president putin of russia. it looks like the turkish president has proposed setting up an international commission to investigate the destruction of the dam. his officials and office say he is happy to do this. he said a commission could be established with participation of experts from the warring parties, the un and the international community including turkey for a detailed investigation of the explosion. we will have more on that as and when we get it. we can quickly go to the high court. we would like to take you where the story is there. prince harry still being cross examined inside the high court. his hacking case is continuing. 0ur correspondence nancy is there and as soon as it is over and he comes out we will take you live is always on the bbc. don't go anywhere.

hello. the sunshine has been a little hit and miss over the last few days but it has been very dry indeed. that is about to change. temperatures are expected to rise, as is the humidity and also we are expecting one or two storms towards the end of the week. on that dry weather it really has been incredibly dry. in fact, the last time it rained across parts of england was the 11th of may. the reason for it is this persistent area of high pressure, sinking air blocking the atmosphere stopping weather fronts from coming blocking the atmosphere stopping weatherfronts from coming in. look at the wind arrows coming off the north sea. that has allowed that low grain north sea cloud to spread across parts of the country. it doesn't always burn off. that's why we have most of the sunshine across western parts of wales. in northern ireland and wales we have really enjoyed some glorious sunshine but we do need the rainfall on gardens,

they are desperate for it. here is they are desperate for it. here is the forecast for wednesday, lots of sunshine around. the high temp just will be whether sunnier skies are come out towards the west. 0n the north sea coast, hull, only around 15 celsius. the further east you are the cloudier it will be forced up something many of us are noticing, the pollen levels are very high across parts of england and wales. tonight that north sea wind once again pushes in the cloud inland, quite far west, meaning it will be a cloudy morning for many of us. not particularly cold, around seven or 8 degrees and then that strong june sunshine will work its magic, burning the cloud away towards the east. notice how the cloud melts away by the time we get to midday and it is probablyjust a very coast itself that will be shrouded with cloud. lower temperatures here, 15 degrees, whereas pushing the mid 20s in cardiff. that's the thursday weather forecast. in cardiff. that's the thursday weatherforecast. let's in cardiff. that's the thursday weather forecast. let's look at friday. we are starting to see the

first signs of both showers building and the humidity increasing across the southwest. again, really warm in the southwest. again, really warm in the south—west with temperatures typically in the low to mid 20s, still on the fresh side closer to the north sea coast all the way from hull to aberdeen. temperatures will continue to creep up and by the weekend we could be talking about high 20s in some spots and also the risk of showers and thunderstorms, which we do need. goodbye.
