charged with attempted murder — authorities say the victims are no longer in a life—threatening condition. four children found alive, including a one—year—old, a0 days after a plane crashed in the amazon in colombia. temperatures in the uk could soar to 30 degrees celsius this weekend, a health alert in force in some parts of the country, while others brace for thunderstorms. and manchester city and inter milan fans pour into istanbul for club football's biggest night — the champions league final. 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, 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 intentionally misled parliament over covid lockdown parties at downing street. charlotte wright reports. he is rarely far from the he is rarely farfrom the headlines, and last night he made more. boris johnson bowing out with a blistering statement. criticising everyone from the privileges committee who were due to decide whether he lied to parliament over lockdown breaching apartments in downing street, to sue gray, who wrote the first report on those breaches, and the direction of his own party's government. boris johnson shown — his own party's government. boris johnson shown himself _ his own party's government. boris johnson shown himself to - his own party's government. pr?" 3 johnson shown himself to be a coward once more. he has not held his hands up once more. he has not held his hands up and take responsibility as he should do. the privileges committee, a well—respected committee that are made up of a majority of tory mps,

afternoon he was going to be taken to court and he will be presented, he will appear before the judge. the four children are still in hospital, and out of the four children, we have two french nationals, and the two others are a young boy who is in intensive care, because of two stabbings and abdominal injuries, and they had to operate on him. let's go live to france and get the latest from our correspondent hugh schofield. a lot of that was to be suspected, that the suspect was being preliminarily charged by a judge. yes. the question mark is completely

over his state of mind. experts didn't recommend that he be given psychiatric care before criminal proceedings were begun. that hasn't happened, but they have examined him and they have deemed that he is fit to go through this classic procedure, and so at the end of 48 hours, which is what the law states as the maximum you can spend in custody before being presented before a judge and charged in a known terrorist case, in accordance with that he has now been presented before the judge, and with that he has now been presented before thejudge, and is with that he has now been presented before the judge, and is about to be, will be informed that he is being formallyjudicially investigated for attempted murder, none of which comes as a surprise at all, northe none of which comes as a surprise at all, nor the fact he will be committed to custody and consigned either to imprison or potentially to a safe hospital or secure hospital if they think that, nonetheless, he needs psychiatric care. what is

becoming very clear is that the man is in a very troubled psychological state. he has not said a word or very little to any of the investigators, and he was told to come and leave his cell, in he was bundled out into the police vehicle. he is a man who is quite clearly in a very, very fragile psychological and psychiatric state. irate a very, very fragile psychological and psychiatric state.— and psychiatric state. we heard about how _ and psychiatric state. we heard about how he _ and psychiatric state. we heard about how he was _ and psychiatric state. we heard about how he was denied - and psychiatric state. we heard - about how he was denied reference refugee status, asylum —— french refugee status, asylum —— french refugee status, asylum status rather, because he already had swedish refugee status. there are questions about his journey to france. we also heard about victims and how they are not in a serious state at the moment, but they are still in intensive care, but thankfully have still been moved from that high alert which was the case when they were stabbed last week. ., . ., ,

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 40 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, nine, four and one. 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 fruits 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. 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, but their rescuers are calling this a magical day. simon jones, bbc news.

the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau is visiting kyiv as ukraine braces for a major counter—offensive against russian forces. he paid his respects at a memorial to ukrainian soldiers killed while fighting pro—russian forces since 2014. mr trudeau also spoke to soldiers during a visit to an exhibition of destroyed russian army vehicles. 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 0desa, killing three people. the emergency services said 27 people, including three children, were also 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, ispoke 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's 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 kakhovka dam, the humanitarian crisis around that. there have been 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 people to come and evacuate them. dinghies are being used, floating little boats are being used

to get people out from rooftops, from trees, so really devastating scenes in the south of the country. but when you think about what is going on here in kyiv, i arrived yesterday here after a 12—hourjourney from poland by car, and what we saw were people in cafes, 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 is quite a contrast, isn't it, to the scenes we were seeing in the week of the dam breaking, and also of the front line? do we know much about this counteroffensive? we have been hearing lots of different types of reports, and as we said, the ukrainians have been rather tight—lipped about it. we've been 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 past few months say the spring offensive isn't going to be some kind of blowing of 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 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 their mouths in this very slick video to say,

shush, keep it silenced, we don't want to 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. 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 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 ramjaun. hello there — one place to start, the build up in istanbul to the champions league final — manchester city against inter milan. city going into this one, as favourites, and with the chance to complete the treble, having already won the premier league and fa cup. let's get some more on the build up now, with 0lly foster, who's there for us. and 0lly, you've been in and amongst the city fans since arriving... there's a real sense of confidence in the team for this huge occasion? a huge sense of confidence,

especially for fans who have come here without tickets you just want to be part of something special. the hundreds, thousands who bought airline tickets to actually get over here months before they dispatched leipzig, bayern munich and real madrid in that statement semifinal win to get to their second final. a couple of years ago they blew it against chelsea, pep guardiola said he over thought it, he did something a little different with his team selection, but not this time. he has joked about that going forward. he has a very settled side, of course they have taken care of business on they have taken care of business on the home front first, reeling in arsenal, securing the double, beating manchester united in the fa cup last weekend, but now so much at stake here. the treble, looking to emulate manchester united's 99 treble winners, and there is so much expectation and confidence that they

will be able to do it. pep guardiola was speaking last night at the ataturk stadium, which has surely been his focus for weeks and months as well, knowing that they have an incredible chance of doing it for the first time. here is the manchester city manager. i the first time. here is the manchester city manager. i have a lan, manchester city manager. i have a ian, i manchester city manager. i have a plan. i have _ manchester city manager. i have a plan. i have an — manchester city manager. i have a plan, i have an idea, _ manchester city manager. i have a plan, i have an idea, i— manchester city manager. i have a i plan, i have an idea, i communicate to the _ plan, i have an idea, i communicate to the players, we are going to play to the players, we are going to play to our— to the players, we are going to play to our success, the ideas will be good, _ to our success, the ideas will be good, it— to our success, the ideas will be good, it is— to our success, the ideas will be good, it is wrong, the ideas will be bad _ good, it is wrong, the ideas will be bad we _ good, it is wrong, the ideas will be bad we are — good, it is wrong, the ideas will be bad. we are ready. i have the feeling — bad. we are ready. i have the feeling that we are ready, the players — feeling that we are ready, the players will give absolutely everything, knowing and respecting a lot of the _ everything, knowing and respecting a lot of the openings we have ahead of us. lot of the openings we have ahead of us it— lot of the openings we have ahead of us it could _ lot of the openings we have ahead of us. it could not be otherwise, so yeah. _ us. it could not be otherwise, so yeah. go— us. it could not be otherwise, so yeah. 90 for— us. it could not be otherwise, so yeah, go for it. us. it could not be otherwise, so yeah. so for it— yeah, go for it. the work ethic is very much _ yeah, go for it. the work ethic is very much up — yeah, go for it. the work ethic is very much up for— yeah, go for it. the work ethic is very much up for pep _ yeah, go for it. the work ethic is very much up for pep guardiola. yeah, go for it. the work ethic is i very much up for pep guardiola and his side, but for inter milan, this is a team and a manager were clinical in finals. they won the coppa italia domestically. will they relish their status going into this as underdogs? they know that manchester city are

the hot, hot favourites, it is hot in istanbul, but yes, simoni inzaghi, they finished back to back finalists, five out of six cup finals he has won as a player, seven out of seven as our manager. they are set up very defensively. they have a world cup winner in lautaro martinez, probably end in dzeko. romelu lukaku waiting on the bench, look at henrikh mkhitaryan, they have some very tricky and dangerous players. you cannot see them beating manchester city, but perhaps the key to manchester city winning will be not underestimating inter milan, who do have a greater european pedigree. they won their last european title backin they won their last european title back in 2010. that wasjose mourinho's treble winners. they

knocked out pep guardiola's barcelona on the way to winning the european crown stop you have to go back to 2011 with barcelona for the last time pep won this as a manager. a lot at stake as they say, but it is manchester city should seal the deal later tonight.— deal later tonight. thank you very much, ollie. _ the french open women's final takes place in around an hour's 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. earlier britain's alfie hewett missed out on a fourth wheelchair singles title and lost his world number one ranking to japanese teenager tokito 0da. 17—year—old 0da won in straight sets to clinch his first grand—slam title. australia are in control of their world test championship final against india. they've just resumed after lunch on day four at the oval and australia are 211 for 6 in their second innings —

a lead of 384. it's already looking like a tough target for india. and that's all the sport for now. you can go watch the football now. let's return now to our top story — the resignation of borisjohnson as an mp, blaming a "witchhunt against" him. live now to our uk political correspondent rob watson. it has been a busy 24 hours for you, all politicaljournalists have properly been glued to their phones. what have we been hearing from lots of people that we have been speaking to, it is that whether borisjohnson can make a comeback in the conservative party at some point. what do you think?— what do you think? well, i guess boris johnson _ what do you think? well, i guess boris johnson would _ what do you think? well, i guess boris johnson would say - what do you think? well, i guess boris johnson would say never i what do you think? well, i guess| boris johnson would say never say borisjohnson would say never say never. it is certainly the case that he hopes that is possible, and that is partly why he has resigned in the way that he has. although it has the resemblance in some ways of a rather

emotional rant, i think it is incredibly well thought through and calculated. he has turned defence into his attack on some of these accusations, and is hoping that somehow the party and the country will say goodness gracious we miss borisjohnson, please come back. there are certainly some of the conservative party who would wish that, and might hope that would happen one day. the problem that he faces, if you like, is that he has that most extraordinary things at the moment, and that is an unpopular populist. the opinion polls suggest he is not the great vote winner that he is not the great vote winner that he once was, and something else that counts against his making a return is that the polling suggests that the british people have never really soured on brexit, and he is incredibly closely associated with that policy. would he love to come back? yes. would some of the conservative party love him to come back? yes. is it likely? looks

problematic. he back? yes. is it likely? looks problematic.— back? yes. is it likely? looks problematic. he has triggered a toy-election. — problematic. he has triggered a by-election, which _ problematic. he has triggered a by-election, which means- problematic. he has triggered aj by-election, which means there problematic. he has triggered a - by-election, which means there will by—election, which means there will be an election in his constituency to replace him. that's because a lot of frustration amongst mps. tell us about why that is, because it is not the only by—election that has been triggered as of yesterday. there the only by-election that has been triggered as of yesterday.- triggered as of yesterday. there is auoin to triggered as of yesterday. there is going to be _ triggered as of yesterday. there is going to be two — triggered as of yesterday. there is going to be two by-elections, - going to be two by—elections, because another one of boris johnson's very close supporters, nadine dorries, decided to step down. i guess the words to describe the mood amongst britain's politicians is that, for the opposition parties, the liberal democrats and the labour party, they are rubbing their hands together, they think, yes, this is a chance to stick it to the governing conservative party. i think this is the absolute nightmare for the current prime minister and leader of the conservative party, rishi sunak, because boris johnson's the conservative party, rishi sunak, because borisjohnson's departure could spark an absolute all—out civil war inside the government and the conservative party. secondly, it's a problem because it says to the british people, hang on a minute, this party looks utterly

chaotic and divided. thirdly, this is also coming against a backdrop of falling living standards, and against all of that, goodness, two by—elections. eek. against all of that, goodness, two by-elections. eek.— against all of that, goodness, two by-elections. eek. thank you very much. an amber heat health alert has been issued across eastern and southern england, as well as in the midlands, with temperatures predicted to hit 30 degrees celsius this weekend — that's 5 to 10 degrees celsius above normaljune temperatures. a yellow warning for thunderstorms is also in place which could cause disruption to travel, power cuts and some localised flooding. among those most vulnerable to cope with the rising temperatures is the elderly. earlier, we spoke to care home manager. audrey chiduku, who told us how her residents are coping. just make sure that they are well hydrated and they are nicely in the shade. so if the rooms are facing the sun, just to make sure that you draw the curtains, there is no direct sunlight going through and directly affecting the patient at home.

and also just to make sure you monitor the intake, you encourage fluid intake, especially some that are bedbound with alzheimer's or dementia. they sometimes forget, they tend to forget to take their fluids to drink. so it'sjust to push, push fluids, ice lollies and to just make sure the bedding is lightweight. you don't use those heavy bedding. just make sure there is sheets. you just expose them and use a lot of fans if there are fans available. there are more tips on how to cope with the heat on our website. stay with us here on bbc news.

it is sunny, increasingly hot and humid start to the weekend, so there are positives and negatives to take away, but let's start with the positives. after weeks of low, grey cloud, look at lowestoft in suffolk, not a cloud in the sky. you have some warmth building as well. temperatures may peak at 30 degrees this afternoon. that won't suit all, and that is why the heat health warning has been issued, particularly with the increasing humidity. there is also some cloud around. parts of south—west england and wales are desperate for rain, and wales are desperate for rain, and they haven't seen it for about a month, but it is going to spoil your weekend, i'm afraid. showery outbreaks of rain across cornwall and devon, and eventually into parts of south—west wales as well. some of these showers could turn heavy and thundery as we go through the latter stages of the day. into the early evening, if you are out and about and planning a barbecue, there is a risk of a huge future sharp, thundery downpours. favourite spots for that at the moment are among parts of the south west midlands,

stretching up through wales and north—west england as well. they will be very hit and miss, but it is certainly worth bearing in mind. it'll be a pretty warm evening, leading into a warm, humid night for many of us. those showers will continue to drip their way northwards into the west coast of scotland and northern ireland. 0vernight lows generally around nine to 14 degrees, we might see 16 first thing in the morning, 61 fahrenheit in the london area. as you move on sunday, there will be a lot of dry weather for most of us. there will be outbreaks of rain just easing away from the far north of scotland, and a few scattered, thundery downpours could continue as we go through the day. one or two of those first thing in the morning and the london area. 0nce first thing in the morning and the london area. once again the temperature is perhaps into the high 20s, temperature is perhaps into the high 205, 30 temperature is perhaps into the high 20s, 30 degrees not out of the question. if you do know some elderly, vulnerable people, it is certainly worth keeping an eye on them. as we go into next week, there will be little change in the forecast. risk of thunderstorms at

the beginning of the week, but a lot of dry, settled weather. not only for the west, but also that low grey cloud thing of the past. we keep some blue sky and sunshine into eastern areas. that is it, enjoy your weekend.

this is bbc news. the headlines: in the uk, borisjohnson has quit as a member of parliament —

claiming he was forced out in a �*witch hunt�* after receiving
