the south coast where those temperatures are heading towards 30. great news for many of us, some health warnings for others. and coming up on bbc news — the scene is set in istanbul as the build—up begins to the champions league final between manchester city and inter milan. good afternoon. he's running for a return to the white house next year, but now donald trump has become the first former president to face federal criminal charges. he says he's been summoned to appear in court on tuesday — accused of mishandling classified documents. 0n social media, mr trump said "i am an innocent man" and called the indictment a "dark day for the united states". he's already facing separate charges over alleged hush money payments to a porn star. from washington, jessica parker.

american newsreader: former president donald trump's lawyersi have been told that he's the target of a federal criminal investigation. an american politician like no other — once again in hot legal waters. now, earlier this evening the news came from the defendant himself. donald trump told his millions of followers on truth social that he was going to be indicted. a sealed indictment as charged, the former president _ of the united states| in what is reportedly a seven—count indictment. breaking news tonight, the federal indictment of donald trump, the first time in american history that a former president has faced federal charges. donald trump declaring he'd been indicted over what he calls the boxes hoax. it was all a big hoax. you had two impeachments and they lost and we won and we had tremendous support, but that was a hoax and a scam, so i just want to tell you i'm an innocent man, i did nothing wrong.

donald trump's mar—a—lago resort in florida. this case is about the potential mishandling of classified files after he left office. thousands of documents were seized at his home last year, some of them were marked as classified. while an indictment hasn't been published, mr trump's lawyers believe the former president is facing obstruction, false statement and espionage act charges. he's due in court in miami on tuesday. i think there's some legitimate questions about the weaponisation of the criminaljustice system with regard to donald trump. i thought that in the united states when someone runs for president that it ought to be ultimately the people who decide about their leaders. and he really is running for president again. he has a base of fervent supporters. polls suggest he is currently leading the race to secure the republican nomination. that's after already being indicted in a separate case earlier this year

in which he also denies wrongdoing. wait, wait, wait. some republicans have accused the biden administration of overseeing a stitch up in the courts, something the current president strongly denies. i have never once, not one single time, suggested to the justice department what they should do or not do, whether to bring a charge not bring a charge. i'm honest. this is not politics as usual, but with donald trump it never is. and jessica joins me now. how much impact will this have on donald trump's campaign to get back into the white house? yeah, this is a man who not so long ago lived in the white house and now he is heading to a courthouse again, but if you think, surely this is kaput for his presidential ambitions, think again, this is not

ambitions, think again, this is not a man who does normal politics. when he was last in court in april rather than dent his ratings in the republican primary field it had the opposite effect, although there are some voters outside the loyal base he has who are worried about the legal baggage but what is this all mean? donald trump can and is already trying to use all of this to reinforce his claims that he is being subjected to a witchhunt. it may prove a logistical political drag on his campaign, but it's already becoming a focus of the wider presidential race. it's potentially awkward for some of his republican rivals within the primary field who are worried about alienating from supporters and it is all a reminder that donald trump �*s ability to dominate the news cycle and set out his political narrative. it is the trump show, but a new episode with its own dramatic twists and turns. g , , ..,

messages that hint at the outrage in france. local officials say all four children are now stable, though some are still thought to be in a very serious condition. translation: we often come to this park with our three-year-old. - it feels like we are in another world. you can feel this very heavy atmosphere, this tension. one of those in the park yesterday was 78—year—old youssouf, lightly injured in the attack. translation: l was sitting - on the bench when suddenly he came in front of me and tried to stab me with his knife. i made a movement with my left arm to avoid the blow. afterwards he attacked other people and i heard the shot when he was caught by the police. president macron is visiting the area today, to pay tribute to the victims and the emergency services. he's called the attack an act of utter cowardice. the focus is now on the reasons

behind this attack. prosecutors haven't yet come up with a clear motive, but there are growing questions about the suspect�*s mental state. a syrian man with refugee status in sweden, he'd been living homeless in annecy for months. his claim for asylum here in france had been rejected just a few days ago. he's due to have a psychiatric assessment today. the suspected attacker entered france legally last autumn, but it hasn't stopped the debate over immigration flaring up here again. the thorns of french politics poking through the tributes. lucy williamson, bbc news, annecy. there's a warning today that public trust in police forces is "hanging by a thread" and that substantial reform is needed. in his annual report, the chief inspector of constabulary for england and wales says police forces are experiencing what he called "one of their biggest crises in living memory".

i think we've seen a significant loss of trust and confidence in policing over the last few years. one reason being obviously the very high profile and scandalous issues that have happened involving serving police officers, but there's also an element of the public feeling that the police are ineffective at dealing with issues that really matter to them. more on this now from our home affairs correspondent, june kelly. and strong words there from the chief inspector of constabulary? yes, he is being very bold and i think he feels he needs to be because this really is a crunch time for the police. the scandal he was referring to there, we had the kidnap, rape and murder of sarah everard by a serving officer, wayne couzens, we had another met officer david carrick admitting to being a serial rapist, so these were both criminals and uniform, and andy cooke is saying trust is badly damaged notjust in the met police area but around the country as a result and other forces have had

scandals and failings as well, so he says now is the time for really decisive action and in order to restore public confidence he says what the police have to do is get back to basics and focus on neighbourhood policing, responding to calls, dealing with crimes like burglaries which might seem like obvious stuff, core policing, but he says this is what they need to focus on now because he thinks they are being pulled in too many directions for example mental health. he thinks police officers should not be dealing with mental health crises, only in very extreme circumstances where there is a matter of life and death. so very strong words from him. also what he is saying is that he wants greater powers, he wants to be able to police the police better and basically be able to go in if a force is having problems and instruct forces how to behave and also, and this is controversial, he wants his inspectorate to have a role in appointing chief constables. june kelly, thank you.

scientists have found evidence that there was an explosion in the area of the damaged dam in ukraine and that it happened at the same time water began pouring through. a team from norway found evidence of a blast early on tuesday morning within a radius of less than 20 miles around the dam by looking at seismic signals detected in romania. the labour party has rowed back on its pledge to spend £28 billion a year in green industries if it wins power, saying it needs to be "responsible" with the public finances. the shadow chancellor rachel reeves says it's important not to be reckless with public spending. let's get more on this now from our political correspondentjonathan blake, who is in westminster. just this amount to a u—turn by labour? just this amount to a u-turn by labour? �* . just this amount to a u-turn by labour? �* , ., just this amount to a u-turn by labour? fl ., ~' just this amount to a u-turn by labour? �*, ., ~ ., labour? it's more like a firm foot on the break. _ labour? it's more like a firm foot on the break, i _ labour? it's more like a firm foot on the break, i think. _ labour? it's more like a firm foot on the break, i think. two - labour? it's more like a firm foot on the break, i think. two years. labour? it's more like a firm foot i on the break, i think. two years ago rachel reeves promised to be britain's first green chancellor, promising to invest £28 billion a yearin promising to invest £28 billion a year in green projects, things like

hydrogen power, offshore wind farms and developing battery technology. since then though, while they hoped the plans would create jobs and future proof the uk economy, a lot has changed. it's become more expensive for governments as much as anyone to borrow money and prices have continued to rise, so labour's plans have come under scrutiny with some arguing that they would simply push up interest rates further and also make the problem of inflation worse. so in the face of that labour is scaling back its ambitions, saying now only that it would increase borrowing and investment in the environment, only reaching that £28 billion a year figure the environment, only reaching that £28 billion a yearfigure in the environment, only reaching that £28 billion a year figure in the second half of their first term in power. they say the tories have crashed the economy and financial stability is important. but the conservatives say this move isn't surprising and described labour's plans as a responsible.— plans as a responsible. jonathan blake, plans as a responsible. jonathan blake. thank _ plans as a responsible. jonathan blake, thank you, _ plans as a responsible. jonathan blake, thank you, our _ plans as a responsible. jonathan blake, thank you, our political. blake, thank you, our political correspondent.

the government has announced the windfall tax on oil and gas firms will be suspended if prices fall to normal levels for a sustained period. halting the windfall tax would cut the overall tax rate on energy firms from 75% to a0%. it was introduced last year to help fund a scheme to lower energy bills for households and businesses. the public inquiry into the government's handling of the covid pandemic will hold its first public hearing next week. bolton was one of the places which saw some of the highest infection rates. our health correspondent dominic hughes reported from there at the the time and he's been back to the town to find out what those affected want the inquiry to focus on. anastasia's parents hold the memory of their daughter close. the bright, healthy 11—year—old died in late 2021 following complications after contracting covid. now they want some answers. i'd like to know why the age limit for vaccines

was set at 12 years old. it has subsequently been changed to five years old. how many lives could have been saved if this was changed earlier? every day i reflect on whether anastasia had been vaccinated would the outcome have been different? we will never really know the answer to that but i think deep down we have a sense that the outcome may well have been different. anastasia and her parents lived in bolton. during the pandemic the town saw some of the highest covid rates in europe, leading to a huge push to get people vaccinated. as you can see, plenty of people are now queueing up to get their vaccinations here in bolton. over the weekend they managed to give the job to more than 6,200 people... almost exactly two years ago we came to bolton to report on a surge of covid cases in the town. this road was lined with people who were queueing up to get vaccinations being delivered in the car park of a schooljust down the bottom of the hill.

the head teacher of that school, two years on, has some questions he wants the covid inquiry to answer. i'd like to know what the impact of lockdown is is on the mental of lockdowns is on the mental health of young people. what we found is a lot of students have become addicted to gaming and mobile phones and have been very honest about that, which is clearly very tempting during lockdown. and again it's re—educating them that actually they can be learning tools but books and studying hard in school actually is the future for their educational success. what you see here is the first mosque in bolton. for ibrahim, one of the big issues in a town with a significant asian community is ensuring everyone got decent access to health care during the pandemic. did the government address the needs of the diverse communities that live in places like bolton? all we saw were the prime minister and the government giving national advice which didn't really resonate with what was happening

locally on the ground, which could have been very different to what was happening perhaps in london. even before the pandemic many towns were struggling with stark differences in the health of the rich and poor. people were on zero—hours contracts or factory workers, they were scared not to go to work. local gp helen, who oversaw the vaccine roll out in bolton, witnessed first hand how the pandemic amplified that effect. i want to know how we are going to use the lessons from covid to improve our health inequalities in our towns. every day we were finding different groups of people that perhaps were not getting access. there needs to be more focus on this and what can we do to make sure that those people are not lost again? because it is notjust about the covid vaccinations, there are real issues with people being invisible to many services. the often painful and difficult experience of the pandemic has left many of us with questions.

it is now up to the covid inquiry to try and provide some answers. dominic hughes, bbc news, bolton. our top story this afternoon... donald trump becomes the first former president of the united states to face federal criminal charges. and coming up, man city arrive in istanbul ahead of their champions league final with inter milan. coming up on bbc news — a huge match ahead in the french open as carlos alcaraz and novak djokovic go head—to—head for a place in the men's final at roland garros, with djokovic looking for a record 23rd grand slam. latest figures suggest food price inflation is still running at more than 19%. and with shoppers struggling with the soaring cost of living, we've been taking a look at how

the uk compares to other big european countries when it comes the price of some of the basics in our supermarkets. our business correspondent emma simpson is here with more — emma. comparing prices in different countries is tricky to do. we worked with consumer data analytics firm circana which looked across 23 different categories in germany, france, italy, the netherlands and spain. and we only included comparable products across brands and non—brands. we then came up with the average price and then converted it from euros into sterling. so what did we find for the month of march? well, it's a mixed bag. take loo roll. it was more expensive here than everywhere else. for instance, that's the price in italy. same with ketchup.

quite a big difference, if you compare it to france. but rice was the cheapest in the uk and spain. and frozen pizza was also a good deal cheaper here. the data didn't include aldi and lidl in the uk. there are a whole host of reasons why food prices differ between countries, as i heard from the company behind the figures. the first one is the entire issue around supply chain. you know, the shortages or potential shortages of ingredients, or the plain availability of these grocery items through the year. the second thing is about local cuisines. there are other things, such as the impact of weather, seasonality, the retail environment. you would expect a very competitive retail market would depress prices. there's also factors like tax, regulation and the amount of domestic food production.

when we added up all the items, france came out the most expensive, germany the cheapest and we were in the middle. this is just a snapshot. it's not definitive but itjust shows how prices can vary. of course rampant food price inflation is hitting every country. but circana says there should be potential for brands and retailers to do more for hard—pressed consumers in the uk as these inflationary pressures hopefully start to ease. we are already seeing that in some of these countries. now a look at some other stories making the news today. police searching for 21—year—old chloe mitchell who went missing last friday in ballymena are questioning a man they've arrested.

searches have been taking place along the town's river with part of a nearby housing block sealed off. officers say they are "increasingly concerned". rhun ap iorwerth is set to become the new plaid cymru leader. he's currently the party's joint deputy leader, and has been plaid health spokesman in recent years. plaid cymru has been looking for a new leader since adam price stood down in may following reports that a toxic culture of harassment, bullying and misogyny had become worse under his leadership. military veterans who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender and who were dismissed, interrogated, or even in some cases imprisoned for their sexuality, are calling on the government to release immediately the findings of an independent report into how they were treated and its recommendations to government. until the year 2000, anyone who was lgbt was banned from serving in britain's armed forces. 0ur lgbt and identity correspondent lauren moss reports. i was prepared to lay down my life for the democratic principles we are supposed to be

living by today. it was my dream to have a long, life career in the army. my father served 24 years. at the age ofjust17 both trevor and carol pledged their lives to the country like their families before them. if i'd have served 22 years, i would have contributed to the army to my utmost ability. i was robbed of the career i should have had. they robbed me of my life completely. trevor and carol's aspirations were destroyed and they are unable to claim their military pension. until 2000 anyone gay, lesbian or bisexual, or perceived to be, was banned from serving in the armed forces. those who were discovered were dishonourably discharged. some say they were interrogated, imprisoned, put through invasive medical procedures, or had their medals stripped until the ban was lifted. the letter i got back from the mod said in one single sentence, "your service has been terminated as per the date of this letter."

i was absolutely livid. the special investigation branch were actually in my room and they were ransacking it, asking me intimate questions about what me and my partner got up to and tried to get us to implicate other people. the government accepts the ban was wrong and commissioned a review into its impact which has now been completed by retired judge lord etherton. last night at a private event he met with veterans hoping to find out when the review would be published and what, if any, compensation may be recommended to try and put some of the wrongs right. caroline paige, who was the first openly transgender woman to serve in the military, was there. what they heard last night was not what they were expecting. they were expecting to hear progress with the independent report being published. it is really distressing their experiences, they have had to reach back, deep back into that, to provide the evidence so they can move forward. meeting others who went through what they did and bringing it to light has given carol and trevor a new purpose.

is like a therapy, you go back and you get involved with people of a like mind. the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and ijust feel really, really appreciated. i am proud now to turn round and say yes, i am a gay woman and i would have been prouder if i had continued in the army, i must admit. the government says it is proud and grateful to its lgbtq+ veterans and will consider the review and respond in due course. trevor and carol want lessons to be learned so the hopes and dreams of future generations are never taken away again. lauren moss, bbc news. football, and tens of thousands of manchester city fans are travelling to istanbul in the hope of watching their team complete an historic treble. city take on inter milan tomorrow in the champions league final. they've already won the fa cup and premier league titles. can they make it one more trophy?

that way back in 1999 and manchester city have been magnificent in europe this season, sweeping aside all comers. real madrid in the semifinal, the greatest team in the history of the competition, just simply blew away the 1a times champions which, despite so many thousands of city fans that have come here to istanbul, 20,000 is the official allocation, come here to istanbul, 20,000 is the officialallocation, but come here to istanbul, 20,000 is the official allocation, but there will be thousands more without tickets just looking to soak up the atmosphere and be part of something truly special. everything is pointing towards city getting their name on that trophy for the very first time. we name on that trophy for the very first time-— name on that trophy for the very first time. ~ , . , ., ~ i., first time. we shall see. thank you very much — first time. we shall see. thank you very much indeed. _ first time. we shall see. thank you very much indeed. ollie _ first time. we shall see. thank you very much indeed. ollie foster - very much indeed. 0llie foster reporting. now, parts of the uk are forecast to hit 30 degrees in the next few days — that's well above normal june temperatures. an amber heat health alert is in place across eastern and southern england, and the midlands. that means high temperatures could affect people of all ages and have an impact on the health service. duncan kennedy is at bognor regis.
