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. the bbc�*s political editor chris mason. earlierthis the bbc�*s political editor chris mason. earlier this chateau you tell me what it all means for the government. me what it all means for the government-—

government. having three by-elections _ government. having three by-elections on _ government. having three by-elections on their - government. having three | by-elections on their plate government. having three i by-elections on their plate is by—elections on their plate is destabilising. i have spoken to a lot of mps and tory sources in the wider tory community in the past day and last night, since borisjohnson went, and it is interesting, there is a lot of anger and resentment towards him in the parliamentary party. a lot of people seem to think he is creating mischief, one mp saying it is the last hurrah of a busted flush, another thing they wished he would just go, push off work that words come and spend more time with his family and lucrative speaking engagements. but there is concern about the by—elections and that if labour win two, possibly all three of them, it creates a sense of momentum for keir starmer. and could potentially unsettle the tory party at a time when the mood is already quite the braille following local elections. —— quite febrile point up

there was a sense that people are watching and waiting to see happy with it before passing judgment on rishi sunak�*s leadership but since the result at the beginning of may there is increasingly talk about what the party does if it is heading into a position at the next election and the risk is the more the party gives in to defeat and defeatism, the more it becomes a foregone conclusion. the more it becomes a foregone conclusion-— the more it becomes a foregone conclusion. �* ., . ., , ., conclusion. and how much do you think that ordinary _ conclusion. and how much do you think that ordinary people, - conclusion. and how much do you think that ordinary people, voters out there, actually feel about this? back when we were talking about the sewer grate report in the early days of pa rtygate, sewer grate report in the early days of partygate, a lot of people i was speaking to said that what matters to us is the cost of living, that sort of thing so what effect do you think yet more internal division is having on how people view notjust the conservative party but politics more generally? —— talking about sue

middle—class people who are trying to deal with remortgaging their housesis to deal with remortgaging their houses is given how present it as interest rate rises have been pondered there will be people who think this is very indulgent and the government should be focusing all its attention on trying to help people with the cost of living, with issues like the nhs which still faces huge backlogs. and indeed deal with immigration, which polls consistently show is the third most important issue to voters in the uk. lucy fisher, the ft�*s whitehall editor. ted kaczynski, better known as the unabomber, has been found deadin as the unabomber, has been found dead in his jail cell by prison officers but he pleaded guilty to killing three people and injuring 23 more the mass bombing spree between 1978 and i995. more the mass bombing spree between 1978 and 1995. he was sentenced to life without parole in 1996 after evading capture for nearly 20 years. the 81 yards spent the last three

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 counteroffensive 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 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.

0n 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 talked 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 millimetre 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 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 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. 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. 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. 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. that was the regional prosecutor. i

spoke to our paris corresponding hugh schofield with the latest. what often happens in these cases is that this is all coming out through off—the—record briefings to journalists, 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. that was our paris corresponding hugh schofield. 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. the colombian president visited the children and said the rescue was a joy children and said the rescue was a joy for the whole country. their mother, the pilot and co—pilot all died in the crash early last month. 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 40 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. incredible story. in the uk, what has been the hottest day of the year so far, at least three soldiers fainted in the scorching heat during a royal military parade. it happened the prince of wales led the colonel's review at horse guards parade. men were stretchered away while two others had to be helped off the parade ground. if you are familiar with the ballet scene you might have heard world renowned dancer carlos acosta who has spent decades centrestage but is now focused on getting young dancers ready for the spotlight. it is part

show you the seen live from a fan zonein show you the seen live from a fan zone in manchester where, as you can see, fans are watching, despite what it says on the screen, it's not georgia, i can promise you! it is manchester, a little closer to home because that is fans waiting for the second half of the champions league final. it is half—time at the moment, quite a big game of course because this is manchester city macro looking to complete the treble having already won the premier league and fa cup this season. they are hoping for the treble, looking to be the only —— only the second to achieve this after manchester united in 1999. that is the fan zone in milan where obviously the inter milan where obviously the inter milan fans milan where obviously the inter milanfans are milan where obviously the inter milan fans are waiting to see what the results are as well. we will keep you updated on the goals as they come but i like to bring you to georgia in fact where former president donald trump is speaking

live, addressing a republican convention in georgia. it is the first time that he has made a public appearance since being indicted on federal charges for his handling of classified documents that were found at his resort in mar—a—lago. he denies wrongdoing and reiterated his previous claims that it is a witch hunt, mentioning that again in his speech. he made be few more unsubstantiated claims about the election as well, that he has mentioned before. we will have more on that as he is continuing to speak, more on that and a lot more bbc news here so do stay with us. it has been the hottest day of the so far by a considerable margin with

temperatures up to 30 degrees in surrey, and plenty of other places not far behind. but with the heat, we have seen some showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and in fact a band of cloud and showery rain pushed in from the south—west and head of it, some intense thunderstorms across parts of the midlands, drifting into north—east wales, north—west england. this is where the met office has issued an amber weather warning for thunderstorms through part of the evening. the potential that some spots could see 50 to up to 100 millimetres of rain in localised locations put at the showers drift across northern ireland and scotland over night, a few more in central and southern england for a time and it will very warm and muggy with overnight lows for many between 12 and 16 degrees. some areas of low cloud as well to stop the morning. some showers and the odd thunderstorm to start off with, northern ireland, england and wales starting mainly fine, more very warm

sunshine but in the afternoon, a fresh clutch of thunderstorms cropping up across parts of southern england, into the midlands, east wales, temperatures again up to around 30 or 31 celsius. some spells of strong sunshine continuing. northern ireland seeing some showers but perhaps not too intense but some continue in scotland, especially up to the north—west. not quite as warm here as it was during today. looking further ahead, here as it was during today. looking furtherahead, on here as it was during today. looking further ahead, on sunday night it will be very warm and muggy again, some storms and thunderstorms rattling round with some areas of low cloud and mist and some fog patches but clear spells as well. on monday, more very warm sunshine, a scattering of showers and thunderstorms cropping up into the afternoon and it will be warm again, temperatures up to around 26 or 27 degrees and i would not be surprised at some places got a little warmer than that. through the week, high pressure at remaining just about in charge. the high pressure never quite strong enough to suppress all of the showers so there will still

be some showers and thunderstorms here and there but as we develop more of an easterly breeze, it might be that temperatures drop back for some of us a bit but broadly staying very warm through the week ahead.
