a senior british cabinet minister says it time to move on. i think people, both in the conservative party and outside, don't miss the drama of it all. what we've got now with rishi sunak in downing street is a, getting on with the job. iam i am live in ukraine, the counter offensive has now begun, and fighting is intensifying in the east and south of the country. and — heading home with the cup — manchester city prepare to return to england — after winning the champions league. we start with breaking news from egypt, where three british tourists are missing after a dive boat burst into flames in the red sea. local authorities say 12 other britons have been rescued from the vessel, which is understood to have been on a six—day cruise.

the incident is reported to have happened around 25 kilometres — or 15 miles — from the egyptian resort of marsa alam. the foreign office says it's supporting the british nationals involved. our correspondent sally nabil is in cairo. this was supposed to be the end of the six day cruise. it was supposed to be coming home today, but tragedy struck. , ., , . ~ struck. yes. that is correct. after finishinu struck. yes. that is correct. after finishing the _ struck. yes. that is correct. after finishing the cruise, _ struck. yes. that is correct. after finishing the cruise, the - struck. yes. that is correct. after finishing the cruise, the boat - struck. yes. that is correct. after finishing the cruise, the boat wasi finishing the cruise, the boat was supposed to head back to the shores today. and the footage we have seen of the fire is really dramatic. you can possibly imagine the hard times those people on board have had after the fire broke out on board the boat. no one knows exactly what happened, what caused this huge fire to break. but initial reports are suggesting an electric fault.

investigations are still under way, but if there seems to be another dimension, another reason, including man—made factors like negligence or poor maintenance, i think that would have very serious repercussions on the tourist industry in this area, which is a very famous diving and snorkelling spot for many tourists, including british visitors, of course. so i think the priorities this time, they need to come out with clear results within a reasonable time frame, because there is a common belief here in egypt that investigations in this country, they take for ever. and it takes as an endless time to wait for the results or the outcome of any investigation whatsoever. but the good news is that 12 british tourists have been rescued, and they are in good shape, as well as the

egyptian crew on board. such operations are still under way, looking for the three missing british passengers. we don't know if they are still alive yet. but the british embassy as well so they are getting involved, providing the needed support for the british nationals. and the egyptian government is yet to announce what happened. find government is yet to announce what ha ened. �* ., ., ., , government is yet to announce what hauened. ., ., ., , ., , happened. and do we have any details of how this search _ happened. and do we have any details of how this search is _ happened. and do we have any details of how this search is being _ happened. and do we have any details of how this search is being carried - of how this search is being carried out? ~ ., �* ., . ., , of how this search is being carried out? ~ ., �* . . . , ., out? we don't have much details, to be honest- — out? we don't have much details, to be honest. the _ out? we don't have much details, to be honest. the information - out? we don't have much details, to be honest. the information is- be honest. the information is usually limited in this country. the government does not release much information to the public, or to journalists. and i can understand they are in a pretty critical situation at the moment. because tourism is a lifeline to the egyptian economy, which is already struggling. so, ithink egyptian economy, which is already struggling. so, i think they will be treading very carefully here with what you say and what's not to say. they don't want to spread fear, they

don't want to discourage tourists, but they also need, i think to provide a coherent story of what exactly happened, because the absence of information might be even more discouraging for tourists to head to this spot. so, i think the egyptian authorities might be just trying to think it over, what they are going to do. trying to think it over, what they are going to da— trying to think it over, what they are going to do— trying to think it over, what they are going to do. how unusual is this -e of are going to do. how unusual is this type of incident? — are going to do. how unusual is this type of incident? they _ are going to do. how unusual is this type of incident? they don't - are going to do. how unusual is this type of incident? they don't happenj type of incident? they don't happen re type of incident? they don't happen pretty much. _ type of incident? they don't happen pretty much. to _ type of incident? they don't happen pretty much. to be _ type of incident? they don't happen pretty much, to be honest. - type of incident? they don't happen pretty much, to be honest. the - pretty much, to be honest. the reason i am saying the government or the authorities are in a quite critical position, is because tourism in the past couple of years has started to get back on its feet. and the number of tourists has been going up, and the industry has been flourishing, and the government has been bragging about that and all the local media outlets. so, this is what makes this tragic incident

really bad news for everybody. and i think this is why the government is taking time to process exactly what happened, and think about how they are going to address local and international public opinion. the thing is, people here do not count very much on the official stories to explain any incident. there is some sort of lack of confidence between the egyptian public and official channels of information. so, we don't know yet if things are going to be different this time. the foota . e to be different this time. the footage is — to be different this time. the footage is pretty _ to be different this time. the footage is pretty horrific. the fire is large and we have just been looking at some of it, where you see somebody trying to jump off the boat to rescue was below. horrific incident for everyone involved. but just tell is about this particular resort. because this is a very popular area for diving excursions. absolutely. marsa alam is a very

famous resort for tourists and four egyptians. i have been there before. it is very famous for its very clear water, and marine life, and the fantastic coral reefs with great colours, and this is why it is a tourist attraction. it is a very important tourist attraction all the year long. so this tragic incident might have serious repercussions on the industry, and it might affect people's livelihoods in this area, who are totally dependent on tourism, as you said, the footage and the pictures are really horrific, and you could possibly imagine the hard times the people on board have been through. so when people start talking about what happened on board later on, that might discourage many tourists from heading there, because they never know that they might face a similar

incident at some point in the future. so, ithink incident at some point in the future. so, i think that puts more responsibility on the government's shoulders, to try to give a clear picture about exactly what happened, and try to send a message of reassurance for everyone. otherwise, they might have really hard times. all right sally, thank you. we will certainly be coming back to you if and when we have more on rescue mission. and also, more detail about what happened. joining us from cairo there. let's stay with the story. we can now speak to david normanton, who is the owner of club sub dive centre. thank you forjoining us. you are at the moment in stoke—on—trent here in england. you have been diving for a long time. and you are scuba diver instructor who has travelled all over the world. the first of all, your thoughts on seeing this horrific incident. i thoughts on seeing this horrific incident. ., ., , incident. i feel for the families and the people _ incident. i feel for the families and the people that _ incident. i feel for the families and the people that are - incident. i feel for the families and the people that are still. and the people that are still missing. ifeel for egypt

and the people that are still missing. i feel for egypt as well, because they are so reliant on the tourism that divers bring into egypt. tourism that divers bring into egypt- i tourism that divers bring into egypt. i think that with any sport or travel, there is a way is a chance of an incident. my experience is that well—known boats like the hurricane, and the one that we use, always take fire very seriously. it is the worst problem for a dive boat is the worst problem for a dive boat is fire. so when you get on the boats, they always take the fire seriously, there is a full briefing on what has got to be done, and what you mustn't do, you mustn't leave phones or anything charging in your room. i know the boats that are to be going on in four days' time, or the plug sockets are actually blocked off in the cabin, so you can't charge anything which could cause a spark in the cabin, that has

to be charged up on the main decks, where there is always people present. where there is always people resent. �* , ., where there is always people resent. �* ., ., present. and you have hinted at it there, present. and you have hinted at it there. but — present. and you have hinted at it there. but you _ present. and you have hinted at it there, but you are _ present. and you have hinted at it there, but you are due _ present. and you have hinted at it there, but you are due to - present. and you have hinted at it there, but you are due to go - present. and you have hinted at it there, but you are due to go out l present. and you have hinted at it| there, but you are due to go out to egypt this coming thursday for a week, i understand, of diving. on a boatjust week, i understand, of diving. on a boat just like week, i understand, of diving. on a boatjust like this. interesting what you are saying about the precautions that would normally be taken around fire on a boat like this. forthose taken around fire on a boat like this. for those that may not be familiar, with the procedures. just how could the scenes that we are seeing now have taken place. this is a massive fire we are looking at. i don't know whether spark has started. the reports that i have read, which isjust speculation, they say it is a sparking engine room. it is one of the worst places for it to start, because it is the back of the boat, so a lot of people will be coming up towards the back from the cabins. however, nearly all

the boats have escape hatches as the front as well, so if there is a fire, they can get out. but fire on a boat can spread very quickly. i believe this was a metal holder, a lot of the other ones have wood, so if a fire starts, and it is unattended at that time, it will spread very quickly.— spread very quickly. indeed. it certainly is _ spread very quickly. indeed. it certainly is a _ spread very quickly. indeed. it certainly is a big _ spread very quickly. indeed. it certainly is a big one. - spread very quickly. indeed. it certainly is a big one. just - certainly is a big one. just briefly, on the rescue mission, the free people still missing, how would you go about finding them? i free people still missing, how would you go about finding them?- you go about finding them? i would imarine, you go about finding them? i would imagine, unless, _ you go about finding them? i would imagine, unless, i— you go about finding them? i would imagine, unless, i don't— you go about finding them? i would imagine, unless, i don't know- you go about finding them? i would imagine, unless, i don't know if- imagine, unless, i don't know if there is any divers in the water at there is any divers in the water at the time or whether everyone is on board. if there are divers in the water, i'm guessing there will be boats out looking for the divers. in the area, because they may be swept away, or they may surface away from the boats. if all the divers are on board, i would the boats. if all the divers are on board, iwould imagine the boats. if all the divers are on board, i would imagine they would have to wait until they have controlled the fire, and got sacked

under control, and then they will be able to examine the boat, to see if there is anyone left on board, unfortunately. mil there is anyone left on board, unfortunately.— there is anyone left on board, unfortunately. there is anyone left on board, unfortunatel . �* ., ,, unfortunately. all right, thank you ve much unfortunately. all right, thank you very much for— unfortunately. all right, thank you very much for sharing _ unfortunately. all right, thank you very much for sharing your- unfortunately. all right, thank you l very much for sharing your expertise with us today. ukraine says its forces are making gains, as they try to recapture territory occupied by russian forces. this is footage from a ukrainian assault brigade said to show offensive operations near bakhmut. the unit claims to have killed two russian soldiers and hit an ammunition dump. there's no independent verification of the location or date of the video. russia says it's repelled an attack by six unmanned ukrainian boats on a russian naval ship in the southeastern black sea, where it was patrolling gas pipelines to turkey. there's been no word so far from kyiv. meanwhile, ukraine says the area covered by flooding

in the kherson region as a result of the catastrophic breach of the kakhovka dam has almost halved as the water recedes. the authorities in the city have introduced restrictions on the use of waterfrom the dnipro river, saying flooding of households and sewage facilities means the water is now highly polluted. my colleague yalda hakim is in kyiv and joins me now. yalda, just talk me through what this counter offensive involves. thank you nancy. after a week of much speculation about this counteroffensive, whether it has started or not, and what it will look like. we are starting to get more information, as we were reporting yesterday, president zelensky has confirmed that counter offensive has begun. to get more information on the developments, joining me now is the adviser to the ministry of defence. thank you joining us again. just bring us up to date, because we are hearing some developments in the east of the country. the 68th brigade has spoken about an area just north of bakhmut,

been rejected by a leading government minister. the energy secretary, grant shapps, says the country wants to "move on" from the political drama surrounding borisjohnson. the former prime minister resigned as an mp after getting an advance copy of a cross—party report that's expected to find that he misled parliament. meanwhile, the former conservative cabinet minister, sirjacob rees—mogg has warned the party's leadership not to try to block any future attempt by mrjohnson to return to parliament. he says "any attempt to do so could plunge the conservatives into civil war." the committee investigating lockdown parties in downing street is due to meet on monday to finalise its findings. more from our political correspondent leila nathoo. two different narratives. boris johnson says he is the victim of a witchhunt, and grant shapps says he chose to leave, and the country

wants to move on.— chose to leave, and the country wants to move on. yes, it was a very an: wants to move on. yes, it was a very angry statement — wants to move on. yes, it was a very angry statement that _ wants to move on. yes, it was a very angry statement that boris _ wants to move on. yes, it was a very angry statement that boris johnson | angry statement that boris johnson put out on friday evening. announcing that he was stepping down immediately from parliament. remember that he had been investigated by a commons committee who were looking at whether he misled parliament over what he knew about coded rule breaking in downing street during the pandemic. in the event, he decided tojump effectively before getting their final verdict, and in his words, the committee had behaved as a kangaroo court, basically coming to a judgment even before the process had got under way. he said that he was the target of a witchhunt and had been forced out undemocratically. very serious allegations there to a parliamentary committee. this is the first time today that we have heard the official government response if you like. the energy secretary grant shapps speaking this morning disputing borisjohnson's characterisation of the committee as a kangaroo court, saying he did not think he was a victim at all. he

said that look, the political drama that came along with borisjohnson's premiership is now over, and the country will be glad. so, i think there is a desire from government to really move on from this, because this has been a very destabilising couple of days for the conservative party, threatening to reopen divisions at rishi sunak, the prime minister now has tried very hard to heal. borisjohnson still has a loyal band of supporters in the conservative party, despite two of his key allies also resigning, so there will now be three by—elections, but there is also a row over borisjohnson's honours list, so these are titles and seats in the house of lords, the upper chamber here that borisjohnson wants to appoint people to. his allies are making the claim that downing street here, number ten, the prime minister's office interfered with that list and took names of it. that is something denied by number ten, but it is something that clearly has the potential to bubble on, and cause further acrimony in the conservative party.—

on, and cause further acrimony in the conservative party. thank you for aaivin the conservative party. thank you for giving us _ the conservative party. thank you for giving us that _ the conservative party. thank you for giving us that additional - for giving us that additional detail. now it's time for a look at today's sport. novak djokovic is one win away from a record breaking 23rd grand slam singles title. he's currently taking on norway's casper ruud in the french open final. ruud was runner up to rafael nadal last year and reached this year's final with an impressive staright sets win over alex zverev. djokovic — who last won the trophy in 2021 — in paris, has dropped just two sets all tournament. he only has one completed game so far. you can follow this one on the bbc sport website. manchester city's players and staff are flying home to the uk from istanbul, after completing a historic treble. they beat inter milan 1—0 in the champions league final in istanbul to add that trophy to the premier league and fa cup

which had both already been secured. it's a triumph that city manager pep guardiola said had been written in the stars. of course it is historic for many reasons, on a personal level pep guardiola would say, i won it with a team of my heart and then i won it with the team that had everything i needed to win. it was an obsession, i would say, for manchester city board. the demand to pep guardiola was to dominate domestic football, which he is doing, and now be in the semifinals of the champions league, but of course they can try to win it and that is what he has done. the fans of manchester city have enjoyed very good football and they read all the stories about pep guardiola being the greatest manager of his generation, and why they enjoy it so much and why it is special, we won the treble.

and that doesn't happen very often. i spoke to some players just after the game finished and i saw them tired, i saw them happy, i saw them relieved, a mixture of emotions. but certainly they all came up with the same thing, there is nobody better in the world of football than us. at football than us. and to have that sense of a debate that is finish right now plus having a manager that is winning but also, it must be a gratifying feeling. australia are world test champions. they've beaten india by 209 runs in the final at the oval. they needed seven wickets at the start of the day, at the start of the final day, with india wanting 280 more runs, and the match soon swung the aussies way when virat kohli went for 49. wickets tumbled after that, with only ajinke rahane sticking around. he made 46. spinner nathan lyon took four wickets, and scott boland three. australia now head into the ashes series against england which starts in just five days' time. america's teofimo lopez is the new wbo super—lightweight champion. he beat scotland'sjosh taylor on points on saturday to relieve

taylor of the last of his titles. taylor — who had already vacated three of his belts — started strongly, but lopez grew into the fight and ultimately had too much for taylor in a brutal contest. it's taylor's first defeat in 20 professional bouts. i got no excuses. i can pared to the best of my ability, so i have no excuses, he was better on the night to night. it is what it is. congratulations to him. i thought it was a close fight, but that 117, 111 was a close fight, but that 117, 111 was way too close. i'd love to do it again. and rory mcilroy is well placed to win a third successive canadian open when he tees off his final round in toronto later mcilroy made a six under par 66, including six birdies, to finish in a group of five players who are two shots off the lead. that's held by ct pan from chinese taipei. i'd love to win the canadian open

for the third time. i've never won a tournament three times in a row, and ifelt like tournament three times in a row, and i felt like last tournament three times in a row, and ifelt like last year, tournament three times in a row, and i felt like last year, the win wasn'tjust i felt like last year, the win wasn't just for i felt like last year, the win wasn'tjust for me. it was i felt like last year, the win wasn't just for me. it was for a i felt like last year, the win wasn'tjust for me. it was for a few other things. wasn'tjust for me. it was for a few otherthings. but wasn'tjust for me. it was for a few other things. but this one this year, if i'm able to get over the line, will be solely for me. and that's all the sport for now. we can end with some good news. the four children who survived more than five weeks alone in the colombian jungle following a plane crash have 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. stay with us on bbc news. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far, we had 32 degrees in

surrey. we are likely to see temperatures of a similar value today, and this time, perhaps a east angler. it has been glorious, but the temperature is perhaps not as widespread with that one. that is because we had outbreaks of rain across scotland, northern ireland, also some showers down across south—west england and south wales. one or two thunderstorms starting to break out now. so, just like yesterday, the responder stones perhaps becoming more widespread into the latter stages of the day, and some of them really quite heavy and some of them really quite heavy and thundery. in terms of the feel of the weather, widespread warmth and timidity still continues, but the highest temperatures through central and south—eastern england perhaps. as we go through the evening hours, we need to draw your attention to an area of rain that is pushing up across the south coast, affecting just south of dorset, drifting towards gloucestershire and into south wales. we could see a couple of inches of rain before this clears away. it will gradually do so overnight, staying quite misty and murky into the south—west. we keep some cloud into the north and west

as well. but generally, those temperatures are going to hold up. that will be the main talking point i suspect, first thing on monday morning. overnight, those 17 or 18 degrees into the london area. so, we will do it all again as we move into monday. it stays hot and humid for many. that low cloud may linger in the south—west, and in the far north—west, there will be a lot of sunshine, and as a result, with that humidity once again, we run the risk of some sharp boundary downpours. the bright yellows and greens denote the intensity of those downpours. perhaps one or two towards northern england, one or two heavier ones to the west of northern ireland, and drifting off, we will see a scattering of thunderstorms pushing into scotland as well. in terms of the feel of the weather, it is going to continue to stay hot and humid for many, we reach the criteria of heatwave conditions, where we have three consecutive days, with temperatures of mid—to high 20s in many places. not only will it stay warm on monday, but also into

tuesday, and it not only stays hot and humid by day, but it also stays pretty warmer overnight. we will gradually lose that humidity though, by wednesday. take care.

this is bbc news. the headlines: three british tourists are missing — and 12 others have been rescued — after a boat burst into flames in the red sea. the incident happened off the coast of the egyptian resort of marsa alam.
