with the investigation. a senior british government minister says the country has moved on from borisjohnson — and nobody wants to return to the drama surrounding his time in downing street. grant shapps said there was no chance his former boss would come back to westminster — as had been speculated. ukraine says its troops have recaptured a village from the russians close to the cirty of donetsk — it's the first from the russians close to the city of donetsk — it's the first liberated settlement to be claimed since kyiv launched its counter— offensive. moscow says its air defence systems have shot down a ukrainian missile near the port city of berd—yansk. just a reminder of that breaking news — in the last 10 minutes, novak djokovic made tennis history — he's become the first man to win 23 grand slam titles. djokovic beat norway's casper ruud in 3 straight sets in the men's singles final at the french open.

he's now clear of rafael nadal�*s total of 22 wins. the first man to win 23 grand slam titles. will have more for you later. well, let's turn our attention to other political news in the uk, and claims by the former prime minister borisjohnson that he's the victim of a witch hunt have 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." meanwhile, in the past hour, the house of lords appointments commission said it had not supported eight peerage nominees submitted in borisjohnson�*s resignation honours. it said it would not comment on individuals. more now from our political correspondent leila nathoo. has he run out of road? borisjohnson angrily resigned from parliament on friday, saying he was being forced out by the parliamentary committee investigating him over covid rule breaking in downing street. today, the government gave its verdict on his departure, with this cabinet minister saying mrjohnson had not been the target of a witch hunt and that the country wants to move on. boris has himself decided to step down, and that is his own decision. so, he's not a victim? ithink... i read what he said very carefully. he made that decision to step down. he would have been welcome to stay. as i say, you know, a man of many qualities. i think a calmer period

is what the country wants and what it's getting with rishi sunak in downing street as well. the prime minister certainly hopes for calm. i'm going now, so there's no point hanging around for the day. - but after two of borisjohnson�*s key allies, nadine dorries and nigel adams, also quit the commons, he now has three by—elections he didn't want on his plate. labour say the tories are in chaos and the country should go to the polls. we have a former prime minister crafting a letter undermining the sitting prime minister and we've got three by elections brought about not in the usual way, because an mp has passed away or there has been wrongdoing, but simply because these mps want to put pressure on the current government. in those circumstances, of course there should be a general election. there is clearly bad blood between rishi sunak

and his former boss, and borisjohnson still has his band of supporters in the tory party. when he left office, the tories were four or 5% behind in the opinion polls and it is now much bigger than that. and he was able to show that he was an election winner in 2019. if he were leader, different things would be happening. where does boris johnson head to next? to another parliamentary seat? to a career outside politics? rishi sunak knows the former prime minister and those loyal to him could still be a thorn in his side. turning our attention to egypt, where three british tourists are missing — after a dive boat burst into flames in the red sea. local authorities say twelve 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. earlier i spoke to our correspondent, sally nabil who is in cairo. she told me how events unfolded after finishing afterfinishing the after finishing the cruise, the book was supposed to head back to the shores today and the footage we have seen through the fire is really traumatic and you can possibly imagine the hard times those people on board have had after the fire broke out on board the boat and no one knows exactly what happened and this, but because this huge fire to break. initial reports suggesting electric fault and investigations are still under way. but if there seems to be another dimension, another reason, including man—made factors like negligence, poor maintenance, i think that would've

really serious repercussions on the tourist industry in area which is very famous spot for many tourists, including british visitors of course. and i think the need to come out with clear results within a reasonable timeframe because there is a common belief you're in egypt that investigations in this country, they take forever and it takes an endless time to wait for the results of 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. search operations are still under way and looking for the three missing british passengers we do not know yet if they're still alive. but the british embassy is getting involved in providing support for

the british nationals and the egyptian government is yet to announce what happened. find egyptian government is yet to announce what happened. and we have announce what happened. and we have an details announce what happened. and we have any details about _ announce what happened. and we have any details about how _ announce what happened. and we have any details about how this _ announce what happened. and we have any details about how this search - any details about how this search being carried out? we any details about how this search being carried out?— any details about how this search being carried out? we do not have much details. _ being carried out? we do not have much details, to _ being carried out? we do not have much details, to be _ being carried out? we do not have much details, to be honest. - much details, to be honest. information is usually limited in this country and they do 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 economy which is already struggling and i think we'll be treading very carefully here with what to say and what not to say. they do not want to spectate and discourage tourists, but they also need to provide a coherent story of what exactly happened because the absence of information might be even more discouraging for torres to the spot.

and i think, egyptian authorities mightjust be trying to think it over what they're going to do. how unusual is this _ over what they're going to do. how unusual is this type _ over what they're going to do. how unusual is this type of incident? they don't happen pretty much, to be honest. and the reason i'm saying the government or the authorities are in critical position is because, tourism in the past couple of years has started to get back on its feet and the number of tourists have been going up and industry has been flourishing in the government has been bragging about that on all the local media outlets and this is what makes this tragic incident that means for everybody and this is where the government is trying and taking times to process what happened and think about how they're going to address local and international public opinion and the

thing is, people here, they do not count very much unofficial stories to explain any incident. there is some sort of like of confidence between the egyptian public and official channels of information and so, i don't know yet if things are going to be different this time? the footaae is going to be different this time? the footage is pretty horrific and we've just been looking at some of it when you see someone trying to jump off the boat to rescuers below. horrific incidents for everyone involved but just tell us about this particular resort because this was a very popular area for diving excursions. absolutely, it is a very famous resort for torres and i've been there before. and it's very famous for its very clear water and magnificent marine life and the fantastic great colours this is why

the tourist attraction. it's very popular tourist attraction and so, this tragic incident might have serious repercussions on the industry and it might affect peoples livelihoods in this area where they are totally dependent on tourism and the pictures are really horrific and you can possibly imagine the hard times and people on board would have been through this when people start talking about what happened on the 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, that puts more responsibility on the government shoulders to try to give a clear picture about what exactly happened and try to send a message for your servants for everyone. otherwise,

they might have really hard times. —— reassurance. well, david normington is scuba diving instructor and owner of clubsub diving centre here in the uk. he told us exactly what safety proceedures and breifings are given to guests when they dive on boats like the hurriane. there will be a meet and greet. there will be a meet and greet. there will be having teddy mckinley over paperwork, signing liability releases, making sure you have insurance and keeping court for the passports because of the is an incident, all the passports come off the boat. then they will go through a briefing with the emergency exits are come the fire extinguishers are in which you can and cannot do the cabins. no smoking inside the boat and on one of the upper decks, well away from the dive deck and we have all the cylinders in the gas filled and will be no smoking in the saloon

halved as the water recedes. the authorities in the city have introduced restrictions on the use of waterfrom the nipro river, saying flooding of households and sewage facilities means the water is now highly polluted. alexandr tolokonnikov, is head of communications at the kherson regional military administration which manages the city — he spoke to the bbc�*s yalda hakim about the situation and the needs of the population in the region so, let's say there are two types of support that we need and one is support that we need and one is support for the citizens who must�*ve been be had from everything from bed sheets. in support is needed is equipment and the consequences of this tragedy that happened on the power plant and we will speak about

the ultimate big sister. she made camp for her brothers, providing what food she could, keeping them alive. she knew the jungle well and certainly, the area they come from is very rural, very remote. so they were certainly more in touch with nature and how to fend for themselves in that environment than your average kid from london or new york or bogota. the president also met with some of the relatives, family members who at one point feared they had lost everything. they have asked the general who led the search to be the youngest child's godfather. a hopeful end to a remarkable story of survival. tim allman, bbc news. the victorious manchester city football team touched down at manchester airport a short time ago — after winning their first european champions league title. city beat inter milan one—nil in a hard—fought game,

weekend with such a big gap between the other two arrests that we have seen so far in this investigation. nicola sturgeon is the third person to be arrested by police and questioned by police in connection with the scottish national party finances investigation and also her husband, the party chief executive, the parties from the treasurer or both? foraround the parties from the treasurer or both? for around 12 hours and then without charge pending further inquiries. there's been speculation ongoing since those arrests as to whether nicola sturgeon would be next, that it dampened down because the passage of time and it's fair to say that this is come out of the blue and caught many people off guard today. blue and caught many people off guard today-— blue and caught many people off uuard toda . ., , , ., , guard today. that seems to be the sentiment- — guard today. that seems to be the sentiment. we _ guard today. that seems to be the sentiment. we have _ guard today. that seems to be the sentiment. we have heard - guard today. that seems to be the sentiment. we have heard from i guard today. that seems to be the . sentiment. we have heard from some close to the party, including the

integrity of the investigation and has said everything has been done by the book but there is no doubt that there was anger in some parts of the snp in the way this is been handled by the police and now, we wait to see what, if any, for the action police will take for the rest of nicola sturgeon.— police will take for the rest of nicola sturreon. , ., nicola sturgeon. livingston defended the robes, nicola sturgeon. livingston defended the probes. saying — nicola sturgeon. livingston defended the probes, saying police _ nicola sturgeon. livingston defended the probes, saying police in - the probes, saying police in scotland rest to look at a bunch of accusations and that is our duty and we seek evidence to see if there's any substance in them. how unprecedented is this that a former first minister is placed under arrest in a case like this? it’s first minister is placed under arrest in a case like this? it's an incredible _ arrest in a case like this? it's an incredible development - arrest in a case like this? it's an incredible development and - arrest in a case like this? it's an incredible development and we | arrest in a case like this? it's an i incredible development and we are now in a situation where the last two first ministers had been arrested by police over very

the clouds are brewing and the heat has not been as and the heat has not been widespread, voicing son showers as widespread, voicing some sharper showers developing doubt into the southwest over the last euros to get to the first signs of those thunderstorms now starting to break out and i suspect over the next few hours, those thunderstorms are likely once again to become more widespread particularly across england and wales to close out a sunday evening and probablyjust in time for a family barbecue. we could also see more persistent rain moving out of dorset across gloucestershire and up into south wales and here, we can have a couple of inches of rain fall on top of those thunderstorms as well to look out for and may lead to some localised flooding in places. rain clearing away from sub wells and stays misty and murky to the southwest we keep some cloud in the southwest we keep some cloud in the northern scotland and elsewhere, once again, it is going be another

uncomfortable evening to get a good nights sleep with overnight lows in london in 17 or 18 degrees. southwest is cloudy and murky part of the exposed sunshine again and another hot and humid affair from most and that will have the humidity which will spark off some sharp potential thunder downpours into the afternoon. widespread showers across england and wales on monday. northern england should be largely fine with just a few isolated shops and a few isolated shelves to the west of northern ireland. and there will be some drifting and making their way across scotland as well. in terms of the feel of the weather, we went to quebec humidity for the early part of the week. so, mid to high 20s quite widely across the country and potentially into tuesday and that, as he that quiet weekend, the humid conditions going to stay pretty warm through the night and

indicationsjust a bit pretty warm through the night and indications just a bit more comfortable as we head into tuesday. if you're trying to plan your week ahead, i can tell you the beginning of the week starts hot and humid for the risk of thunderstorms. and a little less humid, sunny and staying dry.

this is bbc news. the former first minster of scotland, nicola sturgeon, has been released, without charge — pending further investigation — after she was arrested as part of a police investigation into the finances of the snp.
