hundreds of soldiers had been involved in the desperate hunt for the children age 13, nine, four and one. a recorded message was played from the air, instructing them if they heard it to stay still and wait for help. they had been missing since the start of may on the plane they were in crashed. the bodies of the children's mother, the pilot and co—pilot were found but there was hope the children were still alive after items left behind by them including a drinking bottle and half eaten fruit were found. the children belonged to an indigenous group. it is thought their knowledge of fruits and jungle survival skills help keep them alive. translation: ~ ., ., , ,, translation: we are happy because until _ translation: we are happy because until now _ translation: we are happy because until now we - translation: we are happy| because until now we couldn't sleep. couldn't be happy, couldn't talk. for us, the situation was like being in the dark, living for the sake of living because the hope of finding them kept us alive.

when we found the children, we feltjoy. we don't know what to do but we are grateful to god. children are now receiving medical attention before they can be reunited with her family. simon jones, bbc news. live now to colombia where we can speak to richard mccoll, a journalist based in the capital, bogota. richard, welcome to you. an extraordinary story. what more details that we have about how the children were found through mud yes, i mean, it is a really truly astonishing story of survival and endurance of these children, but also, the tenacity of the search and rescue team made up of members of the indigenous community and of the indigenous community and of course the colombian armed forces who, this friday afternoon, located and rescued the four children who had been lost in thejungle the four children who had been lost in the jungle for a0 days. they were found week, they had lost obviously a lot of weight, they were very dehydrated and

had been bitten by insects, but apparently in good health. they were being flown, they have just been airlifted out of the jungle, out of the impenetrable jungle, out of the impenetrable jungle where it is almost impossible to say 20 metres in any direction. having airlifted to the local apartment in the capital and if needed, they will then be moved to bogota. richard, we are thinking they survived because they knewjust what they were from an indigenous community that had knowledge of what was safe to eat. is there any more detail emerging about how these young children with a one—year—old survived a0 days in the jungle on their own? survived 40 days in the “ungle on their own?�* survived 40 days in the “ungle on their own? yes, there were traces that _ on their own? yes, there were traces that they _ on their own? yes, there were traces that they had _ on their own? yes, there were traces that they had been - traces that they had been eating fruit and the oldest children, 13 years old, had some knowledge, more knowledge and she knew how to look after her younger sibling as well, so this of course helped them. but last sunday, the military had been dropping aid packages,

food packages into thejungle in the hope that the children might find them. last sunday one of these packages was found opened as if by the children themselves and a lot of the contents eaten. so this was a greater hope for the military last sunday that, yes, they had been eating. last sunday that, yes, they had been eating-— been eating. what more do we know about — been eating. what more do we know about the _ been eating. what more do we know about the family? - been eating. what more do we i know about the family? because, sadly, for adults didn't survive this plane crash. the father himself _ survive this plane crash. the father himself was _ survive this plane crash. the father himself was in - survive this plane crash. tue: father himself was in part survive this plane crash. tte: father himself was in part of the search party along with the indigenous communities. the mother, sadly, died in the air crash, along with the pilot and other passengers. the grandmother lives in a nearby city, so i do believe they will be reunited soon.— city, so i do believe they will be reunited soon. and what kind of reaction _ be reunited soon. and what kind of reaction has _ be reunited soon. and what kind of reaction has there _ be reunited soon. and what kind of reaction has there been - of reaction has there been there to this story?- of reaction has there been there to this story? this story is a great _ there to this story? this story is a great news _ there to this story? this story is a great news story - there to this story? this story is a great news story for- there to this story? this story is a great news story for a - is a great news story for a government reeling from scandals recently, so it is kind of euphoric here in colombia. it is something that everyone has taken up the

rishi sunak�*s waking up to a headache caused by his predecessor, borisjohnson, standing down as an mp. mrjohnson's announcement came after he received advance copy of a report into him misleading parliament over parties held in downing street during lockdown. in a statement, he likened the inquiry to a kangaroo court and criticised the current direction of government. his resignation means the party will face a by—election for the seat he's vacated at a time when it's languishing in the polls. 0ur political correspondent ione wells reports from westminster. his own conduct made him resign as prime minister. it's his own conduct making him now resign as an mp. of the parliamentary conservative party... borisjohnson was being investigated by parliament's privileges committee into whether he misled mps about covid lockdown parties in downing street. he faced a possible suspension and even by—election if they found him guilty. in a bombshell statement tonight, he wrote:

he continues to maintain his innocence, saying: but he adds, he will stand down as an mp immediately and trigger a by—election in his seat, saying: i don't know all about this soap opera. what i do know about is that people are completely fed up about this roller—coaster of chaos and incompetence that they've been witnessing. they will get a chance in the near future to be able to express themselves, and i'm quite sure that they will be showing just how disgusted they are with all of this. his resignation a final punishment after a series of scandals. hours after releasing his resignation honours list, a final reward for many of those implicated. loyal defenders like his former ministers priti patel and jacob rees—mogg,

his spokesman past and present, jack doyle, who resigned amid �*partygate' fallout, gito harry, who resigned with borisjohnson, his current spokesman ross kempsell. some close aides — martin reynolds who resigned after inviting a host of people to drinks in the downing street garden during covid, david canzini, who he appointed to restore his battered reputation. all of the 38 people to receive honours and seven people to receive peerages are connected to borisjohnson. a notable absence, though, for one of his closest allies, nadine dories. the former culture secretary said she had been on the list, but believed her name was sent back to the committee that vets appointments. she also resigned tonight, triggering another by—election. i think one of the reasons i've hung on was i did think to myself wouldn't itjust be amazing because what it says to everybody from my background as you could do that too, you could be it, you could be a peer in the house of lords,

but i don't think it was to be. borisjohnson was a prime minister forced out by his own mps over his standards in public life. he was being investigated into whether he misled parliament. none of these things stopped him rewarding his friends, allies, cheerleaders and apologists, in one big, but i hesitate to say final, scandal. while it's boris johnson's leadership that is firmly under the spotlight tonight, today's events pose a tricky test for rishi sunak too. with two difficult by—elections now coming down the road. ione wells, bbc news, at westminster. state media in somalia say they have ended an attack by al—shabab militants on a beachside hotel in the capital mogadishu. they said security forces rescued a large number of civilians from the pearl beach hotel during the operation. seven people were injured. al—shabab said they were behind the attack on the hotel, which is popular with government officials. in the us, prosecutors have revealed the full list of criminal charges against donald trump, who has become

the first ever former president to face federal criminal prosecution. mr trump is accused of retaining top—secret documents when he left the white house two years ago, and of conspiring to obstructjustice. prosecutors say the documents contained details of the defence and weapons capabilities of the united states and other countries, including details of us nuclear programmes, along with information on the potential vulnerability of the united states and its allies to military attack. mr trump is accused of taking dozens of boxes of documents from the white house to his mar—a—lago resort in florida and storing them in a ballroom, a bathroom and even a shower. mr trump, who's due to appear in court on tuesday, insists he's innocent. here's our north america editor sarah smith. mar—a—lago, donald trump's private club and residence in florida, where he is alleged to have kept classified and top—secret documents

which could endanger the national security of the united states. the indictment against mr trump includes photographs of sensitive material being stored on stage in a ballroom, where public events were held. 0ther boxes were kept in a bathroom — you can see them stacked up by the shower. the documents were all removed from the white house when donald trump left office, and they included secrets about america's nuclear weapons, about the military capabilities of the us, as well as other countries, and of plans about how to retaliate in the face of a foreign attack. it was in mar—a—largo donald trump announced he's running for president again. it's also where he was accused of trying to obstructjustice. told to search for documents that had to be returned, he suggested to his lawyers: "wouldn't it be better if we told them "we don't have anything here?" and, "look, isn't it better if there are no documents?" an independent special counsel is running this highly sensitive case. we have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone.

applying those laws, collecting facts, that's what determines the outcome of an investigation. nothing more and nothing less. he is emphasising the national security risk. donald trump used to agree. in my administration, i am going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. cheering and applause no—one will be above the law. the fbi found hundreds of classified papers in mar—a—largo and prosecutors say on two occasions donald trump showed secret material to outsiders, including military plans, even saying he shouldn't be sharing it. president biden is trying to keep out of it, saying he has nothing to do with this investigation. president biden, have you spoken to the attorney—general merrick garland yet? i have not spoken to him at all,

i'm not going to speak to him. _ i have no comment on what happened. so, like a pack of rabid wolves, they attack... i donald trump already has campaign ads claiming he's a political target. he thinks this will be a vote winner for him. after appearing in court in new york in april, charged with making illegal hush money payments, he raised $12 million and his poll ratings increased. pictures from donald trump's bedminster golf resort in newjersey today appear to show him playing a round. he's said to be in a defiant mood, planning to go ahead with campaign appearances tomorrow, which aides say are likely to be "spicy". sarah smith, bbc news, washington. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal has the latest from miami, where mr trump will appear in court. prosecutors want donald trump to face a jury here in florida, where the alleged crimes took place. this is a republican—leaning state — remember, donald trump won it twice, in 2016 and 2020. when i went around speaking to people at a country club, there was quite a mixed reaction — there was one man who said to me there's no smoke without fire,

that donald trump should be prosecuted, anybody else would face the same. another man said to me that he was sceptical about the whole investigation — he felt it was a witch hunt, something donald trump constantly claims. now, mr trump will appear in the courthouse behind me next tuesday amid tight security, of course. he will enter the courtroom and he will hear a judge lay out the charges, and that he will enter a plea. we heard from the special counsel, jack smith, who has said he expects a trial to be held pretty quickly. live now to larry gerston, a political analyst at sanjose state university. welcome to you. thanks very much for being with us. it is quite extraordinary, this, isn't it? tt quite extraordinary, this, isn't it? , , . isn't it? it is unprecedented, as a matter _ isn't it? it is unprecedented, as a matter of _ isn't it? it is unprecedented, as a matter of fact. - isn't it? it is unprecedented, as a matter of fact. no - isn't it? it is unprecedented, i as a matter of fact. no present orformer president has as a matter of fact. no present or former president has ever

been indicted for a crime, much less one like this. it's breathtaking when you consider the scope of the charges, which really revolve mostly around national security and the extent to which this country could be quite vulnerable if any of these documents somehow got away shown to the wrong people. and we don't know whether that has actually happened. d0 whether that has actually happened-— whether that has actually hauened. ~ ., ., whether that has actually hauened. ~' ., ., , happened. do we know how this trial, if there _ happened. do we know how this trial, if there is _ happened. do we know how this trial, if there is going _ happened. do we know how this trial, if there is going to - happened. do we know how this trial, if there is going to be - trial, if there is going to be a trial, how it's going to play out, we know the donald trump appears in court on tuesday, we know what happens after that? will the judge will, a know what happens after that? will thejudge will, a couple of days after that on tuesday, a trial date will be set up. there will be several charges made by the trumpeter folks about the way the prosecution has been moving, the types of investigation, issues of

illegality and constitutionality, thejudge will have to rule on all of those, they may well be appealed. i think this list of the bigger question is to when exactly that trail will happen. as you know we have an elect year from as you know we have an elect yearfrom november, we have our primary is, a study of denominations as early as february. —— nominations. it doesn't take long for it to become quite scary in terms of the oh —— overlay between the campaign and the trials of eight hours is playing out politically, what reaction has there been in the republican party and with the nominees? the prospective nominee, remember, he is only living on the polls right now, although quite comfortably, no nominee yet so far, not until next year. but as far as the reactions go, pretty much the way we would have expected. this republican party right now is pretty much in line with donald trump and most republicans, not all, but most leaders have been very upset about it, accusing the fbi and

the department ofjustice, the attorney general of being hypocritical in the way they examined the trump versus others. this is the kind of stunning accusation or a collection of accusations that may well take a few days to percolate for people to really digested, it is a a9 page report and it is as damning as damning can be. the question is after considering this, after four or five days a week or two mccrow, will people, particular republicans, begin to think differently about mr trump this time around versus the others? —— a week or two. time around versus the others? -- a week or two.— -- a week or two. that is the perennial _ -- a week or two. that is the perennial question, - -- a week or two. that is the perennial question, what - -- a week or two. that is the perennial question, what willj perennial question, what will it take for his perennial supporters, those diehard trump supporters, those diehard trump supporters to actually change their mind and could this be it? , , , ,., their mind and could this be it? , , , ., it? this is the person donald trump who _ it? this is the person donald trump who has _ it? this is the person donald trump who has managed - it? this is the person donald trump who has managed to | it? this is the person donald - trump who has managed to escape two impeachment, which were unprecedented themselves, his company was convicted of tax

evasion recently, he has been accused and found guilty of being liable for sexual harassment and defamation of character, this all happened recently, now there is another judge coming forward as to hush money payments to an adult film star that recorded properly. so the hits keep coming in terms of charges, accusations, you wonder at what point is it one to many. and we have this upcoming nomination period several republicans now who have thrown their hat in the ring and you wonder if after all this this might be the time when some republicans begin to think twice and say "you know what, even if he isn't guilty, haven't we had enough of this some malts?" so we don't know if this is what will happen if you will escape again. good to net our you will escape again. good to get your thoughts, _ you will escape again. good to get your thoughts, larry - get your thoughts, larry gerston, thank you for being with us. staying in north america, and air quality across cities,

including new york, washington and philadelphia, has improved after days of thick smog caused by wildfires in canada. well, a huge effort from firefighters from as far afield as the european union has helped extinguish some of them such as here in northern quebec where a fire had been burning since the end of may. well, there's now a threat of wildfires here in the uk with temperatures this weekend expected to be the hottest of the year so far. last yea r�*s heatwaves saw thousands of wildfires with one destroying homes in east london. this year, scotland has seen one of the largest ever grassfires burning in the highlands for the past two weeks. our environment and rural affairs correspondent claire marshall has been to meet some of those charged with tackling the problem. wildfires in the highlands started burning almost two weeks ago. they were once even visible from space. at the opposite end of the country, this was filmed by firefighters on a common near farnborough in surrey last week.

it took them more than five days to bring it under control. this is what's left. and this weekend, there's a severe risk of more fires. we will be increasing our patrols across the sites, undertaking spot checks on regular known areas. but here, the damage has already been done. to come back and see a site like this and know i found this species over here, and we've had smooth snakes over there, it's. .. yeah, it does take a toll. this habitat has been almost entirely destroyed, but volunteers do their best to find creatures that may have survived. this has hidden itself away. fire's gone over the top. this is a sand lizard, which is one of the real rarities of the heath. so he's lucky. so whilst we can save some of these animals that have survived the fire, we lose an awful lot. we lose a lot of animals as well, and we lose all that

biodiversity. you can see where the fire was stopped by this little track and the impact. and remember, this is the very beginning of the summer. fire crews across the country are having to do what they can to adapt. this includes the rapid deployment of drones. this one has thermal imaging that can help reveal fires burning dangerously out of sight below ground. 0ur climate is changing. it's changing beyond recognition. what used to be a 9—12 year cycle, this is every year now. this means that their role now can be to fight fires one day and get footage for social media the next to get the message out — being careless with barbecues or cigarettes or broken glass can also cost lives. behind every uniform, there's a member of staff who goes home to a family. and these are dangerous places to be. there are more firefighters probably killed worldwide in wildfires than there are anywhere else.

the heating planet means it's all of our responsibility, because even the smallest wild space can now catch fire. claire marshall, bbc news, surrey. football now, and manchester city take on inter milan in the champions league final later in an attempt to win the title for the first time. if they do, they'll have "done the treble" after already winning the premier league and fa cup this season. the action takes place in turkey in istanbul from where natalie pirks sent this update. ina in a city of vast history, relics of past empires remain. in taksim square, talk of equalling, if not bettering manchester united's achievements are dominating the thoughts of these school friends. them lot always go on about it, don't they? how "you've never won the treble." so to do it, i can't put into words how good it's going to be, to be honest.

we'll go down as the best team in premier league history. we have been through the pain now we're _ we have been through the pain now we're going _ we have been through the pain now we're going to _ we have been through the pain now we're going to get - we have been through the pain now we're going to get the - now we're going to get the glory _ now we're going to get the alo . ., now we're going to get the i [0 _ ., ., glory. never thought we would have been _ glory. never thought we would have been here _ glory. never thought we would have been here years - glory. never thought we would have been here years and - glory. never thought we would l have been here years and years ago, but we are here and we will do it. tt ago, but we are here and we will do it— will do it. it is a crescendo, we are no _ will do it. it is a crescendo, we are no at _ will do it. it is a crescendo, we are up at the _ will do it. it is a crescendo, we are up at the top - will do it. it is a crescendo, we are up at the top now, i will do it. it is a crescendo, l we are up at the top now, we just— we are up at the top now, we just need — we are up at the top now, we just need to do it. around 20,000 city fans have got tickets for the final and the advice is to leave the centre and get to the stadium that is about an hour away, four hours before kick—off. officials are desperate to avoid any hint of the trouble that marred last year's final. liverpool fans narrowly avoided a disaster in paris, enduring heavy—handed policing and tear gas. they were then falsely blamed for the problems by the authorities. here, they say, they will not make the same mistakes. istanbul is very much accustomed to host all these very international events, not only in sports, in political arenas well. nothing is going to happen, everything is going to be safe, smooth. natalie pirks,

bbc news, istanbul. definitely an exciting game had a little later. while it will be pretty hot in istanbul it will be even hotter here in england. you can get all the details on our webpage on that with an amber heat health alert coming into force as part of the uk forecast to hit 30 degrees in the coming days. the amber warning indicates high temperatures could affect all ages and impact the health service and it is in place across eastern and southern england as well as in the midlands. do stay with us for all the latest on the weather and how to keep safe in it. i will be back very shortly. in the meantime you can get in touch with me on twitter. thanks for watching. hello. it's going to be a hot weekend for some of us as temperatures

are expected to reach 30 degrees celsius in some towns and cities — and we almost reached 30 degrees in northern parts of wales on friday — but it's not unusual to get these sort of temperatures injune. in fact, if you look at the past years, we've regularly approached the low to even mid 30s. so, where's this hot weather coming from? as you might expect from the southern climes. notjust quite hot air but also humid air, and we'll notice the humidity rising as we go through the course of the weekend — some really balmy nights on the way. so, the forecast for the early morning on saturday — some cloudier skies in the north—east, a few showers in the south—west but elsewhere, a lot of clear, sunny weather to start the day. temperatures around 15 degrees in plymouth. so, the forecast, then, for the morning shows lots of sunshine. perhaps those few showers lingering there in the south—west. but through the morning into the afternoon, shower clouds will start building across parts of wales and central england. here's a close—up of the midlands. here's birmingham. we could see some nasty downpours in places with hail and thunder and gusty winds but in between, large gaps of sunny weather, so it's going to be very difficult to forecast exactly where these showers are going to occur but we're

sure of the area, and this is the area here. but elsewhere, a lot of sunshine on the way and those temperatures rocketing to about 30 degrees, i think, in the hottest spots but around coastal areas, we're talking more like the low 20s. and that really balmy night's to come on saturday night — in fact, at 10pm, temperatures in some towns and cities will still be hovering around 20 degrees celsius. here's the forecast for sunday. again, a lot of sunshine around, very warm, very humid, but i think a greater chance of catching some showers and thunderstorms across many western parts of the uk. and remember — hail, thunder and gusty winds and then, it's back to sunshine again, so a bit ofa mixed bag in some areas. the temperatures should reach the high 20s but again, in some coastal areas, we're talking about the low 20s, so really quite fresh. and the outlook for the week ahead shows the warm weather continuing but a bit of a mixed bag at times with a few showers continuing into monday. wherever you are, have a good weekend.
