the leading cabinet minister. grant shapps is the country wants to move on from the political drama surrounding borisjohnson. the former prime minister resigned as an mp in advance of a cross—party report that is expected to find that he misled parliament. the former conservative cabinet ministerjacob rees—mogg has warned the party's leadership not to try to block any future attempt by borisjohnson to return to parliament. writing in the mail on sunday, sirjacob says he would "mostly strongly warn conservative party managers against any attempt to block boris if he seeks the party nomination in another seat." the committee investigating lockdown parties in downing street is due to meet on monday to finalise its findings. with more on this, i'm joined by our political correspondent, leila nathoo. take us through all the developments so far today on this story. goad so far today on this story. good morning- _ so far today on this story. good morning- yes. _ so far today on this story. good morning. yes, this _ so far today on this story. good morning. yes, this is _ so far today on this story. good morning. yes, this is the - so far today on this story. good morning. yes, this is the first l so far today on this story. (emf. morning. yes, this is the first time we have heard, competitively from a cabinet minister about their

response, the response of the government to boris johnson response, the response of the government to borisjohnson �*s explosive resignation letter. a lot of speculation about what boris johnson �*s next move is going to be. clearly, he left the door open in his resignation letter, saying he was leaving parliament for now. grant shapps this morning saying that it was a hypothetical situation and he didn't think that boris johnson was minded to stand again in another seat, johnson was minded to stand again in anotherseat, perhaps johnson was minded to stand again in another seat, perhaps in a safer seat with a bigger majority, as has been speculated, and he said it was a matterfor the party. but very much his overriding message on the resignation of borisjohnson was look, thanks for your time, boris, but it is time to move on. he was speaking this morning on the bbc. laura asked him if he agreed with many of the statements boris made in his resignation statement, including that he was the target of a witchhunt. i that he was the target of a witchhunt.— that he was the target of a witchhunt. ., �* ~ ., , witchhunt. i don't think that is true. i really _ witchhunt. i don't think that is true. i really like _ witchhunt. i don't think that is true. i really like boris- witchhunt. i don't think that is true. i really like boris and - witchhunt. i don't think that is true. i really like boris and i. witchhunt. i don't think that is i true. i really like boris and i work very— true. i really like boris and i work very closely — true. i really like boris and i work

been going on between borisjohnson and rishi sunak, about borisjohnson �*s honours list. grant shapps was clear that number ten had no involvement in removing any names from that list, but there are suggestions that number ten did not agree with giving peerages to some of the close allies of boris johnson. nadine dorries, for example. so a lot of intrigue going on here. for labour, they see this as another example of what they are calling tory chaos. keir starmer has written this morning that rishi sunak has failed to show leadership, and end the infighting in the conservative party. the shadow foreign secretary was also on this morning. foreign secretary was also on this morninu. ~ . ., foreign secretary was also on this mornin-.~ . . ,, foreign secretary was also on this mornin.. . ., .,, ., ,, ., morning. what has happened over the last 48 hours — morning. what has happened over the last 48 hours is _ morning. what has happened over the last 48 hours is unprecedented. - morning. what has happened over the last 48 hours is unprecedented. we i last 48 hours is unprecedented. we have a _ last 48 hours is unprecedented. we have a former pro minister crafting a letter, _ have a former pro minister crafting a letter, undermining the sitting pro minister, and we have got three by—elections brought about not in

electoral tests imminently for rishi sunak, not the thing he wanted at this point when his party is behind in the polls. certainly, this whole episode proves that borisjohnson still has the capacity to be a thorn in rishi sunak �*s side, and there is still the potentialfor in rishi sunak �*s side, and there is still the potential for those tory divisions which rishi sunak has so far managed to keep a lid on, to once again explode into the open. thank you. ukraine says the catastrophic flooding in the kherson region has almost halved. authorities in the city has introduced restrictions on the use of water and says the water is now highly polluted. bathing, fishing and drinking water from the river are prohibited, even giving it to animals. officials say more than 30 settlements are still flooded and almost 4000 residential buildings remain underwater on the right bank of the river.

meanwhile, president zelensky has confirmed that his country's counteroffensive against occupying russian forces is under way. let's go to kyiv and my colleague is there. let's start with the fallout from the hit on this dam and the increasing concerns about the humanitarian crisis that is unfolding there. yes, the situation in the south, in and around that damn area, the villages and the surrounding area is utterly devastating. the reports we are getting is at the coastline along the black sea has essentially turned into an animal cemetery. whole houses are floating down the river. people are still waiting on the rooftops, unaware and unsure of what is going on underneath where the water has not fully receded. so many people are waiting to be evacuated, but as you say, it is the

waterborne diseases and the lack of clean, fresh water that is of utmost concern now for the authorities. the world health organization, the un, the ukrainian emergency services, are working around the clock to try and assist as many people as possible. at least 700,000 people are still waiting for clean and fresh water, and other medical assistance. earlier, ispoke fresh water, and other medical assistance. earlier, i spoke to the representative of the world health organization here in ukraine and he gave me a picture of how his teams are operating and working on the ground. it are operating and working on the round. , . ., ., ground. it is a devastating situation _ ground. it is a devastating situation for _ ground. it is a devastating situation for civilians - ground. it is a devastating| situation for civilians living there. _ situation for civilians living there, and our role is to support and to— there, and our role is to support and to keep _ there, and our role is to support and to keep an eye on waterborne diseases — and to keep an eye on waterborne diseases. the sample collection goes on, diseases. the sample collection goes on. and _ diseases. the sample collection goes on. and also — diseases. the sample collection goes on, and also we have along discussion— on, and also we have along discussion with authorities and the minister— discussion with authorities and the minister of health yesterday, to make _ minister of health yesterday, to make sure that as we are a week

we need — electricity is not always there. so we need to— electricity is not always there. so we need to support civilians as much as possible — as possible. away from the humanitarian as possible. — away from the humanitarian crisis, the fighting very much continues and in the past few hours president zelensky has confirmed what many already expected, that the counteroffensive there is very much under way. counteroffensive there is very much under wa . , . , . counteroffensive there is very much underwa . , . ., counteroffensive there is very much underwa. , . . , ,, under way. yes. i was at that press conference — under way. yes. i was at that press conference yesterday _ under way. yes. i was at that press conference yesterday when - under way. yes. i was at that press l conference yesterday when president zelensky confirmed that the counteroffensive had begun. he was asked by a ukrainianjournalist counteroffensive had begun. he was asked by a ukrainian journalist that president putin had in fact said the counteroffensive had started, and what response did he have to do that. he sort of sniggered and dismissed that and said, why is putin talking about our counteroffensive? he must be really feeling it. but they are keeping their cards close to their chest. right now, military analysts are saying that it is in the shaping phase, where they are using reconnaissance techniques and probing russian forces, and just today the ukrainian authorities have

blamed russia for the dam breach and said that that explosion took place to distract and deter ukrainian forces from the counteroffensive and keep them preoccupied with the evacuation of civilians. russia, in turn, has obviously pointed the finger of blame back at the ukrainians, but as we have heard earlier in the week, norwegian seismologists have said that it was an explosion at the dam that took place that caused that breach. so really, we are hearing a lot of finger pointing on both sides, but the ukrainians have again reiterated today that it was the russians who did it to distract the ukrainian forces from the actual counteroffensive. having said that, president zelensky yesterday said that he is speaking to his daily and that he is speaking to his daily and that they are feeling positive. they are in good spirits, but he said he said he would not give any more information about the counteroffensive and that people should wait and see how it develops.

the epicentre of it is in the east of the country, and the south. but this will go on for some time. they have a window of about four or five months before the weather changes. even today, you can see how windy it is here, and so during this battle it is the colder periods, it is the rainy season that really changes the fighting and impacts the fighting, as well as tanks, for example. when tanks go off—road onto wet territory, they need dry land to operate effectively. so all that has slowed down the timing which this so—called spring offensive good to begin, is turn into a summer offensive, and now they have a short window before winter kicks in. thank ou. residents in annecy in france are gathering to honour people who helped stop the man who stabbed six people in thursday's knife attack. this is the scene live there right now. this is the mayor of the city

paying tribute to those who acted with courage and professionalism in confronting the attacker before police arrested him. they include two municipal agents who try to stop the attacker with a shovel. a young man renting out pedal boats, and also a maths teacher who tried to step in. a tourist also chased the attacker. a childminder and rushed in to rescue two windy children. on friday, the french president met the civilians being hailed as heroes for chasing the attacker from the playground where the stabbings took place. donald trump has lashed out at the us justice system in his first appearances since becoming the first former president in history to be indicted on federal charges. he's due to appear in court in miami on tuesday, but remains on the campaign trail. he spoke at a republican party convention in the us state of north carolina. and earlier in georgia he claimed that the federal charges he's facing have actually helped his bid for re—election. our north america correspondent jessica parker reports

from north carolina. # it's time we stand and say...# he may be due in court on tuesday, but donald trump's not huddled at home with his lawyers, he's out on the stump, insisting he's innocent. the ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the biden administration's weaponised department of injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country. his next stop, a republican convention in north carolina, where charlie is proud to show her support. i'm trump all the way. doesn't it worry you, though, the accusations? no, it's all manufactured, so they weaponised all of the agencies against him. it's terrible. but... it's like a banana republic. but there are photographs of boxes, allegedly containing classified documents in his mar—a—lago home, in the bathroom, next to the shower, in his ballroom.

wait a minute, this is america. we're not guilty tilli we're proven guilty. it's at his florida home where prosecutors allege donald trump kept classified files, including nuclear and military secrets, and tried to obstruct an inquiry into the missing documents. there are, of course, other candidates in this republican field. one of them is former vice president mike pence. he is one of those who has been reluctant to attack donald trump in this case. there is a fear, of course, of alienating the former president �*s very loyal base. he may be the clear frontrunner, but voters do have time to browse a growing list of options. do you think the legal baggage that he has is a problem? i legal baggage that he has is a roblem? ~' ,., legal baggage that he has is a roblem? ~ ~ . �* , problem? ithink so. again, i'm 'ust waitin: to problem? ithink so. again, i'm 'ust waiting to hear. �* problem? ithink so. again, i'm 'ust waiting to hear. it is i problem? ithink so. again, i'm 'ust waiting to hear. it is a i problem? ithink so. again, i'm 'ust waiting to hear. it is a problem.j- waiting to hear. it is a problem. i'm sure waiting to hear. it is a problem. l'm sure he _ waiting to hear. it is a problem. i'm sure he would _ waiting to hear. it is a problem. i'm sure he would prefer - waiting to hear. it is a problem. i'm sure he would prefer not. waiting to hear. it is a problem. - i'm sure he would prefer not having it with _

let us listen in. we can hear some fans chanting in the background. i'm not quite sure what they are saying. but definitely cheering and celebrations aplenty. we saw thousands of manchester city fans take to the streets in istanbul, and of course in manchester and around the world, to celebrate the historic wind. that treble. it was meant as united back in 99 who last achieved it, the archrivals of manchester city. they beat inter milan 1—0 in the final of the top european football in istanbul. it's only the second time that the treble has been achieved by an english club — the last being manchester united in 1999. the winning goal was scored by rodri.

this is how fans reacted to the final whistle back in manchester. cheering. let's hear what pep guardiola had to say about the club's first—ever champions league title. honestly, i'm not going to confuse the fact, today we could have lost the fact, today we could have lost the game. in the past we have lost the game. in the past we have lost the game, it was a fail or a disaster, then this kind of adjectives, so we are the same people. this year it was written in the stars. this year, manchester city must wind. and of course, bayern munich, maggie real madrid, interval and, bayern munich, maggie real madrid, intervaland, it bayern munich, maggie real madrid, interval and, it is because we deserve it. interval and, it is because we deserve it— interval and, it is because we deserve it. ~ ~ , . , ., deserve it. we will keep an eye on that revolving _ deserve it. we will keep an eye on that revolving door— deserve it. we will keep an eye on that revolving door of _ deserve it. we will keep an eye on that revolving door of the - deserve it. we will keep an eye on that revolving door of the hotel. deserve it. we will keep an eye on that revolving door of the hotel to| that revolving door of the hotel to see who comes out and what state

been reunited with their relatives. they're now recovering at a military hospital in bogota, where they've been visited by the president and defence minister. the man who led the rescue operation, general pedro sanchez has agreed to be godfather to the youngest child, who turned one during the ordeal. the siblings, aged between one and 13, are said to be happy but tired. new york times colombia reporter genevieve glatsky told us more about the children's state of health. they are in remarkably good condition considering the circumstances. as far as injuries, officials say they just have a few cuts and scrapes. they are not eating solid food yet because they haven't been eating well in those circumstances. so it takes a little while to reintroduce food back into their system, but they're being cared for. they're also receiving psychological help as well. but they are said to be in good health, in good spirits. they're asking to play, they're asking for books, they're chatting. and they're expected

to be discharged in about two or three weeks. relatives of the oldest child, a girl, leslie, 13 years old, said that she knew the jungle well. and certainly the area they come from is very rural, very remote. so they are certainly more in touch with nature and how to fend for themselves in an environment like that than your average kid from london or new york or bogota. and the government officials that have spoken so far attributed their survival to those factors. an amber heat health alert has been issued for many parts of the uk as temperatures hit 30 degrees. many countries are used to that kind of heat, but in london yesterday uk soldiers were struggling with the weather. the prince of wales paid tribute to those who were rehearsing in preparation for next weekend's trooping the colour ceremony after several troops fainted. prince william said they did a really good job in 'difficult conditions'. the uk health security agency has issued an amber hot weather

alert until tuesday morning for much of south england and the midlands. uk heat health alerts are a new system, focussed on health impacts of high temperatures. there are four levels, starting with green which means no alert but be prepared. yellow is response. this is issued when heat or cold are unlikely to impact most people, but could affect the most vulnerable. amber is enhanced response. this means weather impacts are likely to be felt across the health service. there may be some impacts across the whole population and non—health areas might be affected too. then red is emergency response. that's a significant risk to life to the entire population, with severe impacts across all sectors. joining me now for more is mike padgham, chair of the independent care group and managing director of the saint cecilia's care group.

thank you forjoining us. what does this weather present as far as challenges for you are concerned? qt challenges for you are concerned? of course, challenges for you are concerned? qt course, the people that my colleagues and myself look after are the most vulnerable group so it is another challenge, but we are well versed in dealing with this type of things. we often have severe temperatures, and on friday the health security agency issued fresh advice to us, to make sure that we are extra vigilant with our residents. making sure that they are well hydrated and moved into cooler rooms, that sort of thing. but we must remember those people living in their own homes, too. if they are not receiving any care, it is a good idea for neighbours to check on those older people to make sure that they are safe during these extreme temperatures. taste they are safe during these extreme temperatures-— temperatures. we had extreme temperatures — temperatures. we had extreme temperatures in _ temperatures. we had extreme temperatures in the _ temperatures. we had extreme temperatures in the uk - temperatures. we had extreme temperatures in the uk last - temperatures. we had extreme | temperatures in the uk last year temperatures. we had extreme - temperatures in the uk last year and what lessons did we learn from that? well, i think we learned that we were well prepared. i think the issueis were well prepared. i think the issue is that much of the accommodation in this country still doesn't have air conditioning, so it

is really tough when we have the red alert last year. we learnt to make sure that we try and have more equipment in the home is to reduce temperatures. of course we have to be careful with fans with chapters above 35 degrees. i don't think we are getting there this week, but we have to make sure lessons are learnt to put into practice. and also our staff, we learnt last time to make sure they have adequate breaks and are well hydrated, too. t sure they have adequate breaks and are well hydrated, too.— are well hydrated, too. i guess it is also important _ are well hydrated, too. i guess it is also important to _ are well hydrated, too. i guess it is also important to know - are well hydrated, too. i guess it is also important to know the - is also important to know the symptoms of heat exhaustion. what symptoms of heat exhaustion. what are the ? symptoms of heat exhaustion. what are they? yes. _ symptoms of heat exhaustion. what are they? yes, of _ symptoms of heat exhaustion. what are they? yes, of course _ symptoms of heat exhaustion. what are they? yes, of course in - symptoms of heat exhaustion. transit are they? yes, of course in its mild form, headaches, dizziness, loss of appetite, feeling sick and feeling thirsty. breathing fast or a fast pulse. so people should take action to move to a cooler room, to perhaps lie down with their feet above the head. a drink, of course. and if things don't improve within 30 minutes, also, they should be taking

more extreme action by perhaps dialling 999. the covenant have lots of eyes on the nhs website, but if anyone has any doubt ring 111 and take some advice. but do we cavil, especially the vulnerable. taste take some advice. but do we cavil, especially the vulnerable.- especially the vulnerable. we have had a long. — especially the vulnerable. we have had a long, cold _ especially the vulnerable. we have had a long, cold and _ especially the vulnerable. we have had a long, cold and horrible - especially the vulnerable. we have | had a long, cold and horrible winter here and many people might be tempted to actually go out in the sun to make the most of it while it is here. but i guess the advice would be try to stay out of it if you can, especially around midday. yes, of course we have had a long cold spell and it is tempting, but my understanding is to keep out of the sun as much as possible between 11am and 3pm. if you do go out, wear a hat and have some shade and drink plenty of fluids. a hat and have some shade and drink plenty of fluids-— plenty of fluids. thank you. this is bbc news- — it has been a largely fine and sunny start to your sunday but we will see some heavy and thundery showers

developing across many parts of the uk. this was the scene earlier on this morning in bolton. lovely blue skies here with plenty of sunshine, and the heat really building across england and way is at the moment. some showers across scotland drifting north, but as we go into lunchtime and this afternoon, the showers will start to get going across parts of wales, the midlands and full southern areas of england torrential downpours, and lightning and thunder. a maximum temperature today 23—30 c once again in the south—east of england. those showers this evening, they really will be torrential. look at the bright colours. the greens. very heavy downpours and some hail, gusty winds and the risk of localised flooding with those showers as well. they were drift west before further heavy showers move into parts of the west country, south wales, northern areas of devon and called wilful stop and it could well be another uncomfortable night for sleeping. chapters no lower than 11—15 c. 17

in the south—east. we start the new working week on a rather warm note with lots of blue skies and sunshine once again. the last of the rain clears way from south—west wales, but like today as we head into the afternoon, heavy and thundery showers once again developing, mainly across these central areas. a maximum temperature, remaining on the high side, so 23—27 c. not quite as hot in the south—east compared to today, but ten bridges remaining in the high 20s. again, those showers for the monday evening rush hour, torrential rain and tricky conditions across parts of the midlands. those thunderstorms moving north into greater manchester, merseyside and north wales during the evening. high pressure dominates as we go through next week. there will be one or two showers, particularly on monday, but it will get drier as we go through the week. and we keep that east or south easterly wind stop we keep the hot

weather, really. so heatwave criteria for many parts of the uk as we go through next week. maximum temperature is 24—27 c. the risk of one or two showers and thunderstorms. goodbye.
