classified documents. and, four children surivive a month in colombia's amazon jungle after a plane crash — in an incredible story of suvival. hello i'm carl nasman, thanks forjoining me. manchester city have won the champions league for the first time in their history, completing a treble of domestic and european trophies. they've beaten inter milan 1—0 in the final in istanbul. it's only the second time that the treble has been accomplished by an english club, the last being manchester united in 1999. the winning goal was scored by rodri — and this is how fans reacted to the final whistle back in manchester...
11:01 pm
cheering and watching with them, if you can hear him over the celebrations, was our correspondent paul murphy. it's chaos, but happy chaos. take a look. extraordinary scenes. people in tears. people who have been through an emotional wringer over the last 90 minutes. when the goal went in, there was more fear in the air than it was behind the ball. when the inter goal nearly went in people were holding their stomachs. extraordinary, powerful occasion, one that will live long in the memory here. all the people here have been
11:02 pm
waiting for many decades. and there's a certain pride as well, because man united were the last team to win the treble in 1999. now city have done it and will hold their heads up as well. the party here is going to continue all the way through the night. so if you can hear me, we'll leave you with these things. here in the us, donald trump has made his first public appearance, since becoming the first former president in history to be indicted on federal charges. he's due in court in miami on tuesday — but remains on the campaign trail. here he is at a republican party convention in georgia earlier, where he claimed that the federal charges he's facing have helped his bid for reelection. the former president has been charged over his handling of classified documents, including some containing us nuclear secrets. he's accused of keeping them in a ballroom and a shower
11:03 pm
at his mar—a—lago estate in florida. donald trump told republican supporters in georgia that the investigation was ridiculous and baseless. only donald trump is indicted and they take one charge and they turn it into 36 charges. you saw that everybody was amazed. lawyers on television. yes. they're not usually the best lawyers, but some are very good. they're saying we've never seen anything like it. they took one charge and they made it 36 different times. and we have a thug who's in charge. this is a political mitjob. this is a political hitjob. republicans are treated far differently at the justice department than democrats. let's remind you of the charges that trump is facing. the indictment unsealed yesterday contains 37 counts involving classified documents. it alleges he kept the files at his florida estate and lied to investigatiors.
11:04 pm
trump is also accused of obstructing the investigation into the handling of the documents. he has denied any wrong doing. one of trump's personal aides, walt nauta, is also facing charges, accused of moving files to hide them from the fbi. the a9—page indictment says the classified documents contained information about us nuclear programmes, defence and weapons capabilities of the us and foreign countries, potential vulnerabilities of the us and its allies, and plans for possible retailation in response to a foreign attack. well, other republican candidates have also been reacting to those charges — but few have dared to critcise their rival. here's what former vice president mike pence had to say at at a republican convention in north carolina. we gather here in north carolina after a sad day for america. a former president of the united states facing an unprecedented indictment by a justice department
11:05 pm
run by the current president of the united states and a potential political rival. at that convention in north carolina is our north america correspondent, jess parker — we can bring her in now. > we can see people there behind you we are expecting former president trump of course addressing that cried very soon but i want to start first with what trump said earlier at a different convention in georgia tells more about will be heard today from the former president. in a tells more about will be heard today from the former president.- from the former president. in a way it was sort of _ from the former president. in a way it was sort of vintage _ from the former president. in a way it was sort of vintage trump, - from the former president. in a way it was sort of vintage trump, he - from the former president. in a way| it was sort of vintage trump, he was defiant, combative, he basically said that there were double standards at play. he obviously has said that he has done nothing wrong, he was highly critical of jack smith who has been the special counsel carrying out this the station. so it was really along the lines of what
11:06 pm
we have already been hearing from donald trump either via social media over the last few days but what is noticeable albeit maybe not surprising given what we know of the character of donald trump is that he looks completely relaxed, did little dance on the stage at the end as music played out. we'll see if he repeats that performance later on. this did not look like a man who headed to court on tuesday for some very serious federal criminal charges which of course he denied. and he even talked about, as you mentioned before, that he believes this is helping his poll numbers, helping his fundraising as well. you are there in — helping his fundraising as well. you are there in north carolina, another republican state convention. we could see lots of people behind you. do you have a sense yet of the president not yet taking the stage, but how he may be received by this convention? i but how he may be received by this convention?— convention? i have been talking to --eole all convention? i have been talking to peeple all day _ convention? i have been talking to people all day here. _ convention? i have been talking to people all day here. you _ convention? i have been talking to people all day here. you get - convention? i have been talking to people all day here. you get a - people all day here. you get a bit of a mix of views. i have spoken to
11:07 pm
people who are ardent to trump supporters and when you walk around the merchandise area which you typically get at these events there are a lot of trump is stuff you could buy whether it is caps or trinkets and talking to people here, a lot of them do buy into this narrative that he puts out that this is a witch hunt. that there have been other allegations against other politicians such asjoe biden and they have not been as huge in the same way. but, i have also spoke to a young man who was a desantis supporter, the florida governor here last night saying that he really felt that the legal issues surrounding donald trump, of course not his only legal battle, or a problem but he conceded that actually his was a slightly lonely was he had never been a supporter of trump but had stuck with the republican party. we will note that mike pence who is running in the
11:08 pm
republican race as well got the lunch event. trump is getting the dinner event, people sitting down and i could tell you they were getting a starter of salads but have not seen the main course yet but i've also seen little cups of ice cream wheeled around so i will get their dinner and cream wheeled around so i will get their dinnerand trump at cream wheeled around so i will get their dinner and trump at some point will turn up on the stage we will see how he is received. we will turn up on the stage we will see how he is received.- will turn up on the stage we will see how he is received. we will try to brina see how he is received. we will try to bring more _ see how he is received. we will try to bring more of— see how he is received. we will try to bring more of that _ see how he is received. we will try to bring more of that speech - see how he is received. we will try to bring more of that speech that i to bring more of that speech that happens later today. we heard a bit from pence today what about other public and lawmakers and where are they coming down and saying on the elevations we have seen on this indictment?— elevations we have seen on this indictment? . ., , ., , indictment? some are rallying to his su ort. i indictment? some are rallying to his sunport- i think— indictment? some are rallying to his support. i think among _ indictment? some are rallying to his support. i think among them - indictment? some are rallying to his support. i think among them off- indictment? some are rallying to his support. i think among them off and i support. i think among them off and some of the people that you would expect who have typically been very supportive of donald trump in the past as well. mike pence who we were just seeing a moment ago, he is clearly in a bit of an awkward position. donald trump his ex—boss. he was obviously his vice president but he has been more critical of the
11:09 pm
investigation that the allegations against donald trump saying that he finds the investigation against donald trump troubling. of course you have to bear in mind, donald trump is so far out ahead according to polling. you must think that some republican candidates in this race are going to be reluctant to attack theirformer are going to be reluctant to attack their former boss are going to be reluctant to attack theirformer boss on are going to be reluctant to attack their former boss on this basis. they will not want to alienate that core of supporters that really do back donald trump. so think like asa hutchinson who have been critical, he is a more isolated voice in terms that crowd. irate he is a more isolated voice in terms that crowd-— he is a more isolated voice in terms that crowd. we will be there and we will come back _ that crowd. we will be there and we will come back to _ that crowd. we will be there and we will come back to you _ that crowd. we will be there and we will come back to you later - that crowd. we will be there and we will come back to you later in - that crowd. we will be there and we will come back to you later in the i will come back to you later in the day after we hear from trump and will try to bring some of those remarks live, thank you very much. in the uk, 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
11:10 pm
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 "witchhunt". 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. the leader of the labour party calls the situation a �*farce' and has called for a general election. 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.
11:11 pm
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.
11:12 pm
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
11:13 pm
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. a look now at some other stories making headlines. visitng the uk is set
11:14 pm
to become slightly more expensive. people travelling to the uk without a visa will soon need to get an electronic travel authorization, which will cost 10 pounds per applicant. you will not however need an eta if you have a british or irish passport, permission to work, live or study in the uk or have a visa to enter the uk. ted kaczynski, better known as the unabomber, was found dead in his jail cell. kaczynski pleaded guilty to killing three people and injuring 23 more during a mass bombing spree in the us between 1978 and 1995. he was sentenced to life without parole in 1996. a harvard—trained mathematician, kaczynski was the focus of numerous tv documentaries. he was 81 years old. 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.
11:15 pm
on the hottest day of the year so far in the uk — at least three soldiers fainted in the scorching heat, during a royal military parade. it happened as the prince of wales led the colonel's review at horse guards parade. the men who fainted were stretchered away, while two others had to be helped off the parade ground. ukraine's president zelensky has confirmed that his country's counter—offensive against occupying russian forces, is under way. this week's escalation in fighting across the south and east of the country followed months of speculation as to when the counter attack might begin. the president was speaking after holding talks in kyiv with the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau. from the capital, our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, reports. anotherforeign leader, canada's justin trudeau, pauladams, bbc news, kyiv. in town, and bearing gifts —
11:16 pm
£400 million of military assistance. and finally from president zelensky, an admission that ukraine is now on the attack. translation: counter offensive and defensive actions _ are taking place in ukraine. what stage they are at, i won't say in detail, but i think will definitely feel a toll. it is hardly a revelation. all week images like these have flooded social media. ukrainian troops pushing forward, probing russian defences, looking for weak points. some of the fighting — here, south of zaporizhzhia — has been ferocious. but russia says it's repelled all ukrainian advances, destroying precious western supplied equipment in the process. claims it is hard to verify. translation: over the past 24 hours, | the ukrainian armed forces continue l unsuccessful attempts to conduct offensive operations.
11:17 pm
whether ukraine has had a successful week is hard to know, but this is not yet its big armoured push deep into russian occupied territory. that could still be some way off, if it happens at all. ukraine knows it has four or five months before autumn rains soften the ground once more, to change the entire course of the war. pauladams, bbc news, kyiv. it's an incredible story of survival. four children found alive after surviving a plane crash and spending more than a month fending for themselves in colombia's amazon jungle. their mother, the plane's pilot and co—pilot all died in the crash early last month. colombia's president says the rescue, is �*a joy for the whole country'. simon jones has more. 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.
11:18 pm
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 a0 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.
11:19 pm
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. joining me now to discuss the rescue is genevieve glatsky, a reporter—researcher with the new york times's andes bureau, who's normally based in bogota. really, a miraculous story first of all i think many people just would love to know what more details we have about how these children managed to survive for such a long time in thejungle? so
11:20 pm
managed to survive for such a long time in the jungle?— time in the “ungle? so the children “ust time in the “ungle? so the children just arrived— time in the jungle? so the children just arrived at _ time in the jungle? so the children just arrived at a _ time in the jungle? so the children just arrived at a military _ time in the jungle? so the children just arrived at a military hospital. bogota earlier this morning and we do not have exact details on how they survive. they are still recovering from the whole ordeal if they are a little bit nervous, unease and with all of the people surrounding them. so i think instead of prying them with questions on what happened i think it will probably be a few days or weeks until we get more details from them. we heard there in the package that these are children from a local indigenous group there, a community indigenous group there, a community in colombia and that there was some thought that maybe what they have learned about the jungle in terms of things you can eat there in ways you can survive might helped them. absolutely. relatives of the oldest child, a girl, 13 years old, said that she knew the jungle well. and certainly the area that they come from is very rural, remote so they are very certainly more in touch

11:25 pm
criticism as a result of this about inadequate conditions for flying in these remote areas that the planes are old and do not work well, that the technology is outdated and that there are not really adequate places to land. but official authorities deny these claims so we will see what happens going forward. aha, what happens going forward. a journalist with the new york times who has been following the story for us, thank you, genevieve.— who has been following the story for us, thank you, genevieve. thank you for havin: us, thank you, genevieve. thank you for having me- _ plenty more about our top story today donald trump expected to make another public appearance today in north carolina, the republican convention there and of course we follow in celebrations for manchester city as well. hello. there were two main parts to saturday's weather story, some heat and some thunderstorms. it was by quite some margin,
11:26 pm
the hottest day of the year so far, 32 degrees celsius in parts of surrey. lots of other places not too far behind. but for some, that heat through the afternoon, into the evening, spawned some thunderstorms. a dramatic view for this weather watcher in shropshire. this is how it looked on the radar picture through saturday evening across parts of the midlands, east wales, north—west england and also up into western scotland. some quite intense thunderstorms, a lot of rain falling in some locations. and for sunday, well, it's more of the same, more hot sunshine, but more scattered thunderstorms, in fact. a few showers and storms from the word go across parts of scotland, one or two, perhaps through the channel islands, central—southern england. and while there will be some spells of warm or even hot sunshine through the day, all that will do is intensify. those showers quite hit and miss some places avoiding them. but if you catch one across parts of southern england, the midlands, east wales it could give torrential rain, squally, gusty
11:27 pm
winds, thunder and lightning. 30 degrees in london somewhere could get to 31. northern england seeing spells of warm sunshine and the odd thunderstorm, scattered showers for northern ireland and some continuing across scotland. maybe not quite as warm here as it was during saturday. now for sunday night, it's another pretty humid affair. some showers and thunderstorms are set to continue. some areas of low cloud mist and fog, but some clear spells, too. but overnight lows, generally, 11 to 16 degrees. and bear in mind, we'll only get down to these temperatures very briefly because as soon as the sun comes up again on monday morning, those temperatures will start to climb. plenty of sunshine around, but again, some scattered showers and storms, perhaps a line of thunderstorms popping up from london through the midlands and into parts of mid wales. again, a very warm day widely temperatures between 20 and 27 degrees. some spots could getjust a little bit warmer than that and deeper into the week, while high pressure remains just about in charge, not quite strong enough to suppress all of the shower activity, there will be some showers, maybe the odd thunderstorm. and as more of an easterly
11:28 pm
breeze starts to develop, it could be that those temperatures drop backjust a little bit. but broadly speaking, lots of dry weather and sunshine and it is going to still feel very warm.
