11:00 am
a0 days after a plane crashed in the amazon in colombia. details and pictures released — as donald trump faces 37 criminal charges for allegedly mishandling classified documents at his estate. and manchester city and inter milan fans pour into istanbulfor club football's biggest night — the champions league final. hello. we start here in the uk, where borisjohnson has resigned as an mp, blaming a "witchhunt against" him. in an explosive statement he likened the inquiry to a "kangaroo court" and criticised the current direction of the uk government. it's a political headache for prime minister rishi sunak,
11:01 am
who now faces a by—election in mrjohnson�*s constituency at a time when his conservative party is languishing in the polls. the resignation came after borisjohnson received an advance copy of a report into whether he misled parliament over parties held in downing street during the covid pandemic when lockdown rules were in place. opposition labour mp chris bryant gave us his thoughts on what might have led mrjohnson to resign. in all the breathlessness of all of this, we sometimes forget quite how significant a moment that is. i presume he has resigned because he, being the only person who has seen the draft copy of the report from the draft copy of the report from the privilege committee, knows that the privilege committee, knows that the house is going to decide that he has lied to parliament, and that thatis has lied to parliament, and that that is a serious contempt of parliament and therefore he should be suspended from the house. that has never ever happened to a prime minister, so he was not only ousted as prime minister, but then thrown out of the house of commons for a period, orwas out of the house of commons for a period, or was going to be thrown
11:02 am
out by a committee that had a conservative majority, and probably buy a house that has a significant majority of 66. he is leaving as a disgraced prime minister. that was 0- osition disgraced prime minister. that was opposition labour _ disgraced prime minister. that was opposition labour mp _ disgraced prime minister. that was opposition labour mp chris - disgraced prime minister. that was opposition labour mp chris bryant. j live now to david campbell bannerman, who's the chairman of the conservative democratic organisation. thank you very much forjoining us. what are your thoughts? is it a good thing that he has resigned if he is found to be lying to parliamentmight be, if he hasn't been found to have lied to parliament. they made up their own criteria. we lied to parliament. they made up their own criteria.— lied to parliament. they made up their own criteria. no court of law would have _ their own criteria. no court of law would have been _ their own criteria. no court of law would have been able _ their own criteria. no court of law would have been able to - their own criteria. no court of law would have been able to get - their own criteria. no court of law| would have been able to get away with this, it was like the judge tweeting that the defendant was guilty, which harriet harman did with the privileges committee. it has been a total disgrace, a total stitch up... has been a total disgrace, a total stitch upw— has been a total disgrace, a total stitch up. . ._ i'm - has been a total disgrace, a total stitch up..._ i'm not i stitch up... hang on... i'm not finished- _ stitch up... hang on... i'm not finished. why _ stitch up... hang on... i'm not finished. why is _ stitch up... hang on... i'm not finished. why is this _ stitch up... hang on... i'm not finished. why is this a - stitch up... hang on... i'm not finished. why is this a total. stitch up... hang on... i'm not i finished. why is this a total stitch u - ? the finished. why is this a total stitch up? they have — finished. why is this a total stitch up? they have investigated - finished. why is this a total stitch up? they have investigated boris| up? they have investigated boris johnson and handed him the report,

11:04 am
you feel the party will perform? probably terribly. let's look at the facts. after partygate, boris johnson, the conservatives are about 2% to 4% behind in the polls. we went down to 30% minus under rishi sunak, i know we are levelling off about 15 or i6%. we will lose huge numbers of mps. they have to get their heads out of the sand. soon act as a disaster for us. if the conservatives have any chance of winning the next election, we have to get boris back in some capacity and rally around him, not to do him down. i think this issue is more about him leaving brexit, and people, including a lot of those in parliament, not representing the public properly. they are actually anti—brexit, and they want to bring him down and breaks it down. so anti-brexit, and they want to bring him down and breaks it down. so you think this is — him down and breaks it down. so you think this is all _ him down and breaks it down. so you think this is all about _ him down and breaks it down. so you think this is all about boris _ think this is all about boris johnson, and actually rishi sunak is

11:07 am
the children survived, apparently on their own, in an area with snakes, jaguars and other predators. simonjones has this report. airlifted to safety from the jungle after a story of survival against the odds. these pictures released by the colombian president were the first confirmation that the four rescued children wrapped in foil blankets were alive. they were found by the military after a huge and long search. the children forced to fend for themselves for more than five weeks. translation: together, the military forces and the indigenous _ communities that helped with the search efforts found the children after li0 days. they were on their own. they are an example of survival that will go down in history. today, those children are the children of peace and the children of colombia. hundreds of soldiers had been involved in the desperate hunt for the children aged 13,
11:08 am
9, 4 and i. message plays. 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 when the plane they were in crashed. the bodies of the children's mother, the pilot and the 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 belong to the huitoto indigenous group. it's thought their knowledge of fruit and jungle survival skills helped keep them safe. their family can scarcely believe this moment has come. 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.
11:09 am
when we found the children, we feltjoy. we don't know what to do, but we are grateful to god. the children have been flown to the capital bogota for a full medical assessment. they are weak, they are tired. their rescuers are calling this a magical day. simon jones, bbc news. the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau has arrived in kyiv as ukraine braces for a major counter—offensive against russian forces. he paid his respects at a memorial site to ukrainian soldiers who have been killed fighting pro—russian forces since 2014. concrete information about ukraine's long—expected offensive has been hard to come by, as kyiv attempts to take back sections of territory from russian forces. in the latest overnight attack, debris from a downed russian drone set fire to a residential block in the ukrainian city of odesa, killing three people. the emergency services said 27
11:10 am
people, including three children, were wounded, but that the fire was rapidly put out and 12 people were rescued from the building. these are the latest pictures we've received of ukrainian soldiers in the region of bakhmut. so, is this ukraine's long awaited counter offensive? president putin says it has started and says it is failing. ukrainian officials are being tight lipped. well earlier i spoke to our chief presenter yalda hakim who is in kyiv. i began by asking her about the mood amongst residents of the capital. people here are going about their daily lives as normal. children are floating around here, and it is hard to imagine that this is a city and a country at war. but it is at war. if you think about what is going on in the east of the country, in the south of the country, the fighting does continue. of course, you will know and you have been reporting on the nova kakhovka dam and the crisis around that. there have been
11:11 am
discussions around whether that was used as a distraction tactic on the ukrainian forces, who are now very focused on the humanitarian efforts there. people are on their rooftops, for example. they are trying to wait for example. they are trying to wait for people to come and evacuate them. thingies are being used, floating little boats are being used to get people out from rooftops, from trees, it's a really devastating scenes in the south of the country. when you think about what is going on here in kyiv, i arrived yesterday here after a 12 hourjourney arrived yesterday here after a 12 hour journey from arrived yesterday here after a 12 hourjourney from poland by car, and what we saw were people in cafe is, the restaurants were buzzing, people were out and about, and trying to get back to some kind of normalcy, but of course it is a country at war. it but of course it is a country at war. , ., _, .,, but of course it is a country at war. , ,�* war. it is quite a contrast, isn't it, to the _ war. it is quite a contrast, isn't it, to the scenes _ war. it is quite a contrast, isn't it, to the scenes we _ war. it is quite a contrast, isn't it, to the scenes we were - war. it is quite a contrast, isn't i it, to the scenes we were seeing war. it is quite a contrast, isn't - it, to the scenes we were seeing in the week of the dam breaking, and also at the front line? what do we know about this counteroffensive? we
11:12 am
have been hearing lots of different types of reports, and as we said, the ukrainians have been rather tight—lipped about it. the ukrainians have been rather tight-lipped about it.— the ukrainians have been rather tight-lipped about it. we've been talkini tight-lipped about it. we've been talking about _ tight-lipped about it. we've been talking about this _ tight-lipped about it. we've been talking about this long-awaited i talking about this long—awaited counteroffensive for many months now, but the ukrainians have been tight—lipped, they have kept their cards close to their chest. the officials i've spoken to over the last few months either spring offensive isn't going to be some kind of blowing up a whistle, some kind of blowing up a whistle, some kind of blowing up a whistle, some kind of announcement that it is started, it is going to be part of a complex operation. what we are seeing at the moment from what military analysts are saying is that this is the very early stages, the shaping stages is what you refer to when you describe this particular start of this operation, that they are using reconnaissance and trying to distract the russians as much as possible. we are being drip fed this information. eventually i do think we will have more information that comes through, but at this stage the
11:13 am
ukrainians are trying to keep as much information as close to them as possible. there was some material that came out in the last week or so where you saw ukrainian soldiers put their fingers to where you saw ukrainian soldiers put theirfingers to their where you saw ukrainian soldiers put their fingers to their mouths in this very site video to say, sheesh, keep it silenced, we don't want to talk about what is going on. while thatis talk about what is going on. while that is going on, you will see around me here, people are getting about their daily lives, and into saturday morning, they are riding bikes of theirfamilies. saturday morning, they are riding bikes of their families. they know there is a conflict going on, and they know they have to be on high alert. even last night, we had an air raid siren that went off, and thatis air raid siren that went off, and that isjust a air raid siren that went off, and that is just a reminder of the state that is just a reminder of the state that this country is in. now it's time for a look at today's sport with gavin. the countdown is on to the champions league final in istanbul.
11:14 am
manchester city are bidding to win the trophy for the first time and complete a domestic treble following their league title and fa cup wins. inter milan are looking to claim europe's premier cup competiton for a fourth time. our sports editor dan roan reports one last "pep" talk before a date with destiny. manchester city's final training session at the ataturk stadium, where tonight they could finally claim club football's greatest prize. actually a dream. and, you know, to achieve things always have to have the, you know, the correct portion of obsession, you know, the desire to want it. obsession is a positive word for the fact that we desire and willing, you know, to try to do it. commentator: manchester city, double winners. - now one more. even for a club now so used to success, manchester city have reached new heights of domination. and now here in istanbul, they have the chance to finally conquer europe and secure a first treble for a generation. we've been competing in this competition, i but we've not been able to win it yet. i and this is probably the only little remark that people - can give us.
11:15 am
but i feel we've been consistent, - we've been good in this competition. and yeah, we just need to find a way to win the first one. _ despite city's abu dhabi owners spending £1.5 billion on players since their 2008 takeover, defeat in the final against chelsea two years ago is the closest they've come to the champions league. but having reached istanbul by sweeping aside serial winners and holders real madrid, they are firm favourites. city come into this momentous game amid concern, especially among rival fans, over how they've achieved their success and whether it's good for the competitive balance of the sport. but there's also huge admiration for the way they play and the way they've invested their wealth. what's certain is that victory here would signify a shift in the balance of power in european club football. opponents inter milan are bidding to be champions of europe for the fourth time, but not since 2010 have they managed that. the italians seen a surprise finalists. as surprise finalists.
11:16 am
i hope we win the game and to make score is not so important. important is more to win the game. but of course i will try and give my best. the last english club to win the treble was manchester united back in 1999. now, for the first time in a generation, their arch rivals can emulate them and confirm their status as a true footballing superpower. the french open women's final takes place in around three hours' time. world number one and defending champion iga swiatek is chasing herfourth major and a third at roland garros. she's taking on the unseeded czech player karolina muchova, who stunned aryna sabalenka in the semis. a player who can do anything. she can scrape touch, she can also speed up can scrape touch, she can also speed up the game. she plays with that kind of freedom in her movements, and she had seen a great technique. i watched matches, and ifeel like i
11:17 am
know her game pretty well, but on match as it is a little bit different, but i'll be ready no matter what. denver nuggets are one win away from their first nba championship after beating the miami heat 108 — 95 in game four. aaron gordon scored 27 points and nikola jokic added 23 for the nuggets. the teams now head to denver for game 5 on monday. just understand that we have not done anything. i told the guys, we are not celebrating. it is a good job we have done, but we are not celebrating anything we have done yet. we know we have to go home and turn off the tv, the radio, don't read the papers, don't listen to everybody telling you how great you are. we haven't done anything yet. we have to win a game to be world champions, and we will do that one quarter at a time, stay true to our identity, give ourselves a great chance to do that. just identity, give ourselves a great chance to do that.— identity, give ourselves a great chance to do that. just to tell you that -la chance to do that. just to tell you that play has _ chance to do that. just to tell you that play has resumed _ chance to do that. just to tell you

11:19 am
other 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.
11:20 am

11:21 am
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 appeared 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". sara smith, bbc news, washington. local police in somalia say six people have been killed and ten others wounded in an attack by al—shabab militants on a beach—side hotel in the capital mogadishu. according to state media reports, security forces rescued a large number of civilians. al—shabab have claimed responsibility for the attack on the pearl beach hotel, which is popular with government officials. an amber heat health alert has been issued across eastern and southern england, as well as in the midlands, as temperatures are predicted to hit

11:26 am
some of us, as temperatures are expected to reach 30 celsius in some towns and cities, and we almost reached 30 degrees in some parts of wales on friday. it is not unusual to get these temperatures in parts ofjune. if you look at the past years, we have regularly approached the load to even mid 30s. where is this hot weather coming from? as you might expect from the southern climes, notjust hot air, but also humid air, and we will notice the humidity rising as we go through the course of the weekend, some really balmy nights on the way. the forecast through the early morning on saturday, some cloudy 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. the forecast for the morning shows lots of sunshine, perhaps those few showers lingering in the south—west, but through the morning into the afternoon shower clouds will start building across parts of wales and central england.
