hello, i'm luxmy gopal. we start in the uk because there are calls for unity within the conservative party, after borisjohnson�*s decision to stand down as an mp. three tory mps have announced their resignations in the past 2a hours. they trigger a series of by—elections and raise questions about the future of rishi sunak�*s government. the latest to announce he's stepping down with immediate effect was nigel adams — a big supporter of former prime minister boris johnson. on friday another political ally of mrjohnson, nadine dorries, announced she was quitting, to be swiftly followed by the former prime minister himself, claiming he was the victim of a "witch—hunt". that's after he received an advance copy of a report into whether he deliberately misled parliament over covid lockdown parties at downing street. three by—elections will now be held at a time when rishi sunak�*s conservative party is languishing in the opinion polls.

our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, has the latest. is this the end of a political career? "a witch—hunt," borisjohnson says, forced him out. "a kangaroo court," he has called parliament's investigation. in truth, he saw its conclusions before we did, and decided to go. it was this, partygate, mps were probing — whether mrjohnson lied to parliament. he has gone before it's published. he feels he can't be held to account for what others did when he wasn't present. he didn't know? that is his version, that is his story. i am merely... laughter. ..i am merely acting as a reporter. so today, labour out campaigning in uxbridge. they smell a chance to snap up the seat borisjohnson once had a big majority in, but has abruptly vacated. borisjohnson has shown himself to be a coward once more. he has not held his hands up and taken responsibility as he should do.

the privileges committee, a well—respected committee made up of a majority of tory mps, and he hasjust tried to trash them and say, "i've got no responsibility, "i've done nothing wrong." all this means trouble for mrjohnson�*s successor here. that may have been part of his aim with this resignation. rishi sunak is blamed by some of borisjohnson�*s supporters for abetting his downfall. today, ministers were trying to keep out of things. the determination of whether or not he should stand down was purely a decision for the former prime minister, and that's where that rests. our focus is on delivering on the priorities of the british people. that is where the prime minister's focus is, that is the priority of all of government. that borisjohnson is divisive, for some a chaotic liability, for others an election—winner, was clear for those in uxbridge today. argh. taking the easy option out, isn't he? instead of standing there and defending himself and everyone else, he is doing the wrong thing. i don't like him in any case. i think it's the best thing that

could happen, get rid of him. i would vote for him tomorrow. great man, he has a huge amount . of support all over the country. and it has been a witch—hunt. he'll be back, i reckon. and more by—elections loom. nigel adams, a loyal supporter of borisjohnson, today said he was also standing down. nadine dorries quit yesterday. she thought she was in line for a seat in the lords in his resignation honours, but wasn't on the list released by downing street. what all this means for rishi sunak and the conservatives is that new tensions are swirling between factions in the party, and by—elections are coming, just when the conservatives are languishing in the polls. losing any of those could lead some tory mps to question, as borisjohnson did in his resignation letter, the direction of the party and rishi sunak�*s leadership. rishi sunak should above all, borisjohnson and his backers think, be offering tax cuts. what we want is reassurance from the prime minister, that that is very much his agenda

and then examples of how he is pursuing that agenda because clearly some of my colleagues don't feel they are very welcome on the journey, so that three of them have now decided to get off the bus altogether. and worse for rishi sunak, borisjohnson has hinted he might try a comeback. earlier, i spoke to our political editor about what this means for rishi sunak and the future of his government. parties call for unity when there isn't any unity, and that's precisely where the conservative party finds itself tonight. so it faces three by—elections atjust a point where it is really, really struggling in the opinion polls. so three people on their own side choosing to inflict upon the party, at a difficult time, the views of the electorate when they are miles and miles behind the labour party in the national opinion polls and in some places liberal democrats opinion polls, and in some places liberal democrats

performing very well, too. so, speaking to conservative mps and i've been making dozens and dozens of calls and zapping out loads and loads of whatsapp messages for the last 2a hours or so, there's a deep sense of frustration and anger at what many see as the selfish acts of those who have decided to resign. now, of course, it is their prerogative to be able to do that, and we haven't yet heard in any detail at all from any of them about precisely what has motivated that. yes, we had the statement from borisjohnson last night, but we're yet to track him down with a camera to ask him questions of our own, and the same applies as far as nadine dorries and nigel adams are concerned, to get that full account. but the consequence we are well aware of, and conservative mps are well aware of, and from rishi sunak�*s perspective, the prime minister, he needs this like a hole in the head. it's a nightmare, just the sort of thing he does not want to see, because the one thing he's managed to bring to government in the last six or seven months, he'd point to other achievements as well, of course, but the one thing that i think even his biggest critics would acknowledge is a sense of stability.

things don't seem quite so stable tonight. and how are the three by—elections that will now be happening adding to that nightmare? because i suppose it's notjust about the cost and the time that they take, is it? it's not, although those two factors are worth weighing up, cost and time and attention. so money that the party might otherwise think would be better spent in a general election campaign will be spent in by—elections. time that would be better spent thinking about governing or thinking about the general election will be spent on those by elections, too. spent on those by—elections, too. and attention means that cameras and interest and intrigue will point in the direction of the seat in west london that borisjohnson is vacating, mid—bedfordshire, where nadine dorries is leaving as the mp, and selby and ainsty in north yorkshire, where nigel adams is. and attention matters in politics because there's an opportunity cost attached to intrigue pointing in a particular direction —

it means it doesn't point somewhere else. so if the prime minister would rather be talking about other things, and my goodness he would, the attention is going to be in at least three corners of the country and i say at least of the country, and i say at least three, because seniorfigures in the conservative party are braced for the potential for further resignations. doesn't mean that there will be, but they are concerned that there might be. and so that sense of chaos uncorked remains tonight. there isn't the sense that we had, or you might have had, after an announcement like the one we heard from borisjohnson last night, where it happens and there isn't a huge tail to it, but with this, there has been something of a tail to it with the further resignation this afternoon, and therefore, the reasonable question posed byjournalists and indeed senior figures in the conservative party

that there might be more to come. some breaking news. ted kaczynski, better known as the unabomber has died in his jail cell he better known as the unabomber has died in his jail cel— died in his “ail cell he was sentenced — died in his jail cell he was sentenced to _ died in his jail cell he was sentenced to life - died in his jail cell he was sentenced to life without | died in his jail cell he was - sentenced to life without parole in 1996 after evading capture for nearly 20 years. the 81—year—old spent the past three decades held in prisons across the us. officials say he was found unresponsive at his cell in a prison in north carolina. in less than two hours' time manchester city take on inter milan in the final of the champions league in istanbul. thousands of fans are in the turkish city ahead of the final. man city are looking to complete the treble, having already won the premier league and fa cup this season. live now to istanbul, and our sports correspondent olly foster. live now to manchester, and our news reporter paul murphy, who is at a fanzone showing the game in the city. paul. good evening, if you can hear

it is nerve—racking, though. i'm not nervous. city is going to win the treble, all day. 3-1. i'm wellup for i'm well up for it. i have no nerves whatsoever. we are going to do it, i we will show the red side of manchester what manchester is always going to be, blue! - do you know, this is very much a shared experience, bringing fans together, bringing the community together, bringing the community together on what could be an historic day. it is a big day, not just for these fans and the club, but for this entire area of the city. there is talk of economic regeneration, and the confidence this could give this part of manchester in the years ahead. of course, there's the added spice of the fact that the last winners of the fact that the last winners of the treble, back in 1999, were manchester united. so, there is a lot of pride at stake here. this is

a very sturdy old victorian building, fans could well take the roof off it by the end of this evening. roof off it by the end of this evening-— roof off it by the end of this evenina. . . ~' ,, , ., , , evening. paul, thank you. obviously a very good — evening. paul, thank you. obviously a very good atmosphere _ evening. paul, thank you. obviously a very good atmosphere there. - evening. paul, thank you. obviously a very good atmosphere there. we i a very good atmosphere there. we could just about hear paul murphy, so that some of the build—up for the game in about an hour's time, and let's get some more of that from ollie foster, who is live in istanbul. ollie, i imagine the anticipation is building even more there than it was in the fan zone in manchester that we just saw. we there than it was in the fan zone in manchester that we just saw. manchester that we 'ust saw. we are almost there. _ manchester that we 'ust saw. we are almost there. the — manchester that we just saw. we are almost there. the final _ manchester that we just saw. we are almost there. the final destination . almost there. the final destination of the season at the ataturk stadium. you can hear the stadium announcer calling out the teams, that's what we've had in the last half an hour or so. the big news from manchester city is that one of their defenders, kyle walker, he misses out. he had a back strain in the fa cup final against manchester united last weekend. he thought he would be ok. he is on the bench,

that he misses out, huge personal blow for him. pep guardiola has had to fiddle about with things at the back. manuelakanji to fiddle about with things at the back. manuel akanji switches flanks, and nathan ake comes in on the left of that defence, a role he has excelled in. he isjust coming back from injury as well. that is the big point for city. inter milan, as expected, lautaro martinez and ed and dzeko getting the nod up front. he was part of that success when manchester city won their first premier league title, but now he will be leading the line for inter milan. brozovic comes into midfield, and former manchester united man, henrikh mkhitaryan makes the bench. kick off around 45 minutes away. thank you.

in ukraine, president volodymyrzelensky, has for the first time publically confirmed that his country's counter—offensive against occupying russian forces is under way. it follows a week of such speculation, following an escalation of fighting in the south and east of the country. his comments followed talks he'd held in kyiv with the visiting canadian prime minister, justin trudeau. the bbc�*s yalda hakim who's in kyiv and has been listening to zelensky speak. for the past week, we have heard a lot of speculation around this counter—offensive. has it started, and if so, what will it look like going forward? the world's media and military analysts have all been asking this question, and so today, at the press conference i was at with volodymyr zelensky, ukraine's president, alongside canada's premier, justin trudeau, president zelensky was asked the question that, in the last 2a hours, we have heard from russia's president, vladimir putin, who confirmed or said that the counteroffensive on the ukraine side had begun. just have a listen

to what he had to say. translation: the counter-offensive and defence actions _ are taking place in ukraine. i will not speak at what stage or phase they are, but i am sure that we will feel all of that definitely. i would not trust these or those telegram channels, and, in particular, putin. it seems to me we had lots of occasions and steps after which we understood that we could not trust this that we can not trust this kind of information. we need to trust, as it seems to me, our military, our soldiers, and i trust them. daily, i am in touch with our commanders of different spheres. on vladimir putin, he was very dismissive. he grinned and said, "why is he talking "about our counteroffensive?

"he must be feeling it. "he will continue to do so." as i said, again, he kept his cards very close to his chest. he would not give much information away, but did say that he speaks to his commanders daily, and that they were in good spirits. for his part, justin trudeau talked about the ongoing support that canada will continue to provide ukraine in terms of military support as well as aid. we have seen a massive humanitarian crisis in the south—east of the country after that dam was breached, so prime minister trudeau talks about the need for the ongoing support to ukraine. just have a listen. in addition, today i'm announcing that canada will be part - of the multinational efforts to train fighter pilots, - and to maintain and support - ukraine's fighterjet programme, leveraging canadian- expertise in these areas. we will also be contributing - to the multinational leopard tank maintenance initiative.

iwe will provide an additional 288| aim—7 missiles, which will support ukraine in its efforts to defend ukrainian skies. _ and from existing funds, _ we will provide 10,000 rounds of 105 millimetres ammunition- to the ukraine security forces. justin trudeau, canada's prime minister speaking there at that press conference with the volodymyr zelensky today. we don't know how long justin trudeau will be here, but he is part of this wave of western leaders making their way here to the ukrainian capital. it is about a 12—hourjourney from poland to hear, from poland to here, so they come to show their support, even though this country is in a state of war and conflict. you would not know it if you were

here in the capital, kyiv. restaurants, cafes are buzzing, they are full of people, they are really trying to get on with their daily lives. in the east and the south—east, that is where the epicentre of this counteroffensive will be, which will go on for many months. for now, we are not getting a lot of information. as this counter—offensive continues, no doubt the ukrainian side will want to give information about their progress in games, about their progress and gains, and of course we will hear about the setbacks as well. they have this very small window up to about october and november before the weather changes. we keep hearing about the importance of the spring and summer offensive, because once the winter kicks in, fighting becomes incredibly difficult, but we will continue our coverage here from the capital, kyiv, as the developments and updates continue. the bbc�*s yalda hakim, speaking to me earlier.

a french prosecutor says a man suspected of stabbing four young children in annecy is being held with attempted murder charges. the four children include a 3—year—old british girl. two adults were also injured in a park in annecy on thursday. the authorities say the victims are no longer in a life—threatening condition. lets hear from the lets hearfrom the regional prosecutor. translation: the prosecution service of annecy opened a judicial case - for attempted murder. the prosecution service put the assailant in provisional custody, and this afternoon he was going to be taken to court and 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 is a young boy who is in intensive care because of two stabbings and abdominal injuries, and they had to operate on him. the regional prosecutor speaking earlier. our regional correspondent spoke to us earlier.

what often happens in these cases is that this is all coming out through off—the—record briefings to journalists, and it requires then and it requires then a formal press conference like this to put it on record as established fact. you know, various details about the suspect, and also about the children. the children — obviously it is good news that they are all out of danger. the british girl, we are told, can probably leave hospital in the coming days. and about the suspect himself, it is confirming again what we knew about his background, but some detail also about how he is behaving in custody. clearly, he is not cooperating, he is remaining silent and not talking to his questioners. and in some moments, curled up in the corner of his cell, not willingly coming to the hearing with the judge and having to be bundled by officers into the car, and so on. he is clearly a man in a troubled psychological state. here in the uk, devon and cornwall police say that a 16—year—old boy has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of grievous bodily harm with intent

over a violent assault on two teenage boys and an adult at blundell�*s school in tiverton on friday. the two boys, who are students at the school, remain in hospital at this time. one of the boys is in a critical condition and the other boy remains in a stable, but serious, condition. their families are with them and are being supported by officers. now, it's an incredible story of suvival. four children found alive after surviving a plane crash and spending weeks fending for themselves in colombia's amazon jungle. their mother, the pilot and the co—pilot all died in the crash early last month, and colombia's president says the rescue, is "a joy for the whole country." simonjones has that story. airlifted to safety from the jungle, after a story of survival against the odds. 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 110 days. they were on their own. they are an example of survival that will go down in history.

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. 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. 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 prince of wales reviewed his troops on horseback today, as temperatures hit 30 celsius in the uk for the first time this year. thousands gathered at horse guards need to watch the kernel�*s review i had of trooping the colour next week, but at least three soldiers fainted in the heat, and were taken off on stretchers, while two more were helped off the parade grounds. the prince later thanked everyone involved on social media while acknowledging the difficult conditions. donald trump is due to speak at the georgia republican convention in columbus in georgia. it comes after the former us

hello it has been the hottest day of the year so far by quite a considerable margin. with that heat, we have seen some showers and thunderstorms popping up through the afternoon, in fact a band of cloud and showery rain pushing in from the south—west, and just ahead of that's in quite intense thunderstorms across parts of the midlands, drifting up into north—east wales, north—west england. this is where the met office has issued an amber weather warning for thunderstorms through parts of the evening. the potential that some spots are skewed to see 50 to maybe 100 millimetres of rain in some very localised locations. the showers continue to drift northwards into scotland through the night, could see some more in central and southern england for a time, more in central and southern england fora time, and it more in central and southern england for a time, and it is going to be very warm and very muggy. overnight lows between 12 and 16 degrees for many, some areas of low cloud around as well. we will have some showers and leave the thunderstorm to start off with. northern ireland, england and wales parting of the day mainly

fine, there will be some very warm sunshine, but into the afternoon fresh clutch of thunderstorms p°ppin9 fresh clutch of thunderstorms p°pping up fresh clutch of thunderstorms popping up across parts of southern england into the midlands, east wales, temperatures again up to 30 or maybe 31 celsius. some spells of strong suntanning continuing. northern ireland seeing some showers, but not too intense. some continue across scotland, especially up continue across scotland, especially up to the north—west. not quite as warm here as it was during today. as we look further ahead during sunday night it is going to be a very warm and muggy one. thunderstorms will continue to rattle around. there will be areas of low cloud, mist and fog patches, and then some very warm sunshine on monday, scattering of showers and thunderstorms popping up into the afternoon, don't be warm again. temperatures up to 26 or 27 degrees. i wouldn't be at all surprised if one or two places got a bit warmer than that. through the week, high pressure remainsjust about in charge. that high pressure

never quite strong enough to suppress all of the showers, so there will still be some showers and thunderstorms here and there, and as we develop more of an easterly breeze, you may be the temperatures drop back some of us just a little bit, but broadly speaking, staying very warm through the week ahead.

this is bbc news. the headlines...

in the uk, the conservative party face three by—elections,
