, men in the the most influential men in the history of italy. will have that and more for you in the programme. at first, let's go to sports. thousands of fans lined the streets of manchester city centre this evening — battling some pretty bad weather conditions — to watch man city's treble winning parade. it was delayed due to the rain, thunder and lightning. but eventually, the players and staff set off in their open—top bus. the champions league trophy in full view, after they arrived back on home soil following that win over inter milan in istanbul this weekend. they are, of course, only the second english club to win the treble after manchester united in 1998/99. they didn't let the weather affect

their celebrations, that's for sure. also celebrating today, is kate cross. she's been named in england's squad for the ashes test with australia after recovering from illness. the pace bowler needed multiple rounds of antibiotics to treat a parasite infection, but has been included in a is—player squad for the four—day test at trent bridge starting on 22nd june. she said on social media, "it's always so special". the test is followed by three t20s and three one—day internationals. full details of the squad are on the bbc sport website and app. it's a huge day for women's sport in england. last year was the baroness this morning euros. this summer at the ashes. the winners of the ashes in particular, for us, i think is much as we can we would encourage people to get out. and watch what we are hoping will be some really entertaining cricket.

meanwhile, the men's ashes starts in four days�* time and australia got the perfect warm up by beating india on sunday to become world test champions. they take on england at edgbaston on friday, in the first of five tests — captain pat cummins says winning the series would have a big impact on theirfutures. ashes time to find errors in teams. i think the great thing is we feel like we played awesome cricket for the last two years, and being there at the end, holding the trophy feels really well disturbed. that's great for our team. really well disturbed. that's great for ourteam. in really well disturbed. that's great for our team. in a way, ashes are hard to win. i think it's been 21 years. so it's not going to be easy, but that is legacy defined. so it's not going to be easy, but that is legacy defined. english football league club — wigan athletic have had a winding—up petition lodged against them by uk tax authorities. there's been huge financial turmoil at wigan, who have been relegated to league one from the championship, and it is understood money is outstanding

from last month's salaries. the latics, who won the fa cup ten years ago, will start next season on minus eight points for not paying their players on time. eri—trean cyclist biniam girmay has sprinted to victory at stage two of the tour of switzerland. girmay�*s continuing his return from a crash back in april when he suffered concussion. he's likely to feature in next month's tour de france. it's girmay�*s first win at world tour level since winning stage ten of the giro d'italia last year. and finally, to golf, where there was a very interesting end to the canadian open, won by nick taylor. taylor had just holed a stunning 72—foot eagle putt to become the first home player to win the canadian open in 69 years — sparking huge celebrations led by another canadian golfer and pga tour professional adam hadwin. he ran to spray champagne in the direction of his friend,

only to by mistaken for an intruder and was tackled to the ground by security! hadwin later apologised. and that's all the sport for now. now to some political drama here in the uk. �* ., , now to some political drama here in the uk. now to some political drama here in theuk. , the uk. boris johnson has accused rishi sunak _ the uk. boris johnson has accused rishi sunak of _ the uk. boris johnson has accused rishi sunak of talking _ the uk. boris johnson has accused rishi sunak of talking rubbish - the uk. boris johnson has accused| rishi sunak of talking rubbish after the prime minister claimed that his former boss had asked him to intervene in the process of appointing people to the house of lords. half the people mrjohnson put forward in his resignation honours list were excluded by the house of lords appointments commission. mr sunak said the former prime minister had asked him to "override" the recommendation, which he didn't think was the right thing to do. have a listen. when it comes to honours and boris johnson, borisjohnson asked me to do something that i wasn't prepared to do. because i didn't think it was right. that was either overruled the

holland committee or to make promises for the people. now, i wasn't prepared to do that. as i said, i don't think it was right. and if people don't like that, then tough. but i got thisjob. b’s and if people don't like that, then tough. but i got this job. tough. but i got this 'ob. a's when i not this tough. but i got this 'ob. a's when i got thisjob h tough. but i got this 'ob. a's when i got thisjob i h tough. but i got this job. a's when i got this job i said it _ tough. but i got this job. a's when i got this job i said it was - tough. but i got this job. a's when i got this job i said it was going . i got thisjob i said it was going to do things differently because i said i wanted to change politics and that's what i'm doing. after those comments borisjohnson said the prime minister was talking rubbish. let's go to westminster and our political correspondent jonathan blake. the press have been describing this as a blazing feud, trading of barbs. i think this is a very personal degree of rancour we have seen today between these two men. it degree of rancour we have seen today between these two men.— between these two men. it does feel like it's iot between these two men. it does feel like it's got to _ between these two men. it does feel like it's got to bit _ between these two men. it does feel like it's got to bit personal. - between these two men. it does feel like it's got to bit personal. and - like it's got to bit personal. and rishi sunak, since he took office, having taken overfrom rishi sunak, since he took office, having taken over from liz truss as prime minister, borisjohnson was of course in office before that, has made pines to try and demonstrate that he's going at a very different

way. he talks about integrity, professionalism, accountability and his government at every level. and he has held off making any direct criticism or courting confrontation with borisjohnson. but there has been a tension there, undoubtedly, now that are spelled out into the open with this tit—for—tat, this war of words between borisjohnson and rishi sunak. the detail of which is over the honours which borisjohnson is an outgoing prime minister and is entitled to draw up a list of people he wants to offer peerages, dame hurts, and other titles, as one of the perks of leaving office as prime minister. it seems that he was asking, at least as far as rishi sunak is concerned, for something that went over and above established protocol, the rules as they were understood, and so he didn't want to allow that. and that's why we have seen this counterclaim from rishi sunak, who is the predisaster boris

johnson, play out. this of course, all happening while borisjohnson, having announced his resignation as an mp, which has been formally confirmed today, is awaiting the formal outcome of that investigation by a committee of mps as to whether he deliberately lied to them about the partygate saga.— he deliberately lied to them about the partygate saga. jonathan blake there for the partygate saga. jonathan blake therefor us- _ the partygate saga. jonathan blake there for us. thank _ the partygate saga. jonathan blake there for us. thank you. _ rachel cunliffe is senior associate editor of the new statesman. thank you so much for making time to speak to us. yes, good evening to you as well. if we weighed a little pastor he said she said, we are seeing today, and look at what it all adds up to, is there a calculation here now by rishi sunak that there is no inherent risk in offending supporters of boris johnson by talking a little tougher with him's ?01ll johnson by talking a little tougher with him' ,, _, , johnson by talking a little tougher with him' ,, u, , ., with him's you could put it that wa . he with him's you could put it that way. he actually _ with him's you could put it that way. he actually said, - with him's you could put it that way. he actually said, well- with him's you could put it that. way. he actually said, well tough, the prime minister in his comments this morning, which from rishi sunak is interesting indeed. but i actually think it's paltry they are

to look at it than other way around. it's not necessarily that he has decided that there's nothing to fear by talking tough, he's realising the high liability borisjohnson will continue to be and therefore there is no point trying to duplicate him and play nice because borisjohnson is going to continue set fires again, shall we say, and cause more problems will stop the more distance at rishi sunak as a new prime minister can put between him and his predecessor, the better will be for him. ~ ., , , predecessor, the better will be for him. . , , ., ., him. what is his doing to the conce it him. what is his doing to the concept of unity _ him. what is his doing to the concept of unity within - him. what is his doing to the concept of unity within the i concept of unity within the conservative party's are people taking sides's conservative party's are people taking sides's— conservative party's are people takini sides' �* , ., ., taking sides's well, it's not great. but certainly. _ taking sides's well, it's not great. but certainly, boris _ taking sides's well, it's not great. but certainly, boris johnson - taking sides's well, it's not great. but certainly, boris johnson has, | taking sides's well, it's not great. | but certainly, boris johnson has, i but certainly, borisjohnson has, i think, and expanded view of his own importance within the conservative party. certainly, lots of his allies have come out and seconded his feelings that the privileges committee report is a witchhunt or a kangaroo court. it really, when we look at whether or not the more

conservative mps following over the weekend there might be a boris johnson exodus, that hasn't come to pass. it's likely that when the committee does publish a report it will contain mps that these continued trashing of the process is in their best interest and not in the best interest of democracy. so i think rishi sunak kind of a lid on it for now simply because boris johnson had multiple opportunities to make his case, he could have made his case afterwards after the privilege report came out, going to mps and saying vote with me, don't vote for the sanctions. he could have made his case to the people of uxbridge and by facing that by election. by quitting on saturday night, without facing any of those things, i think he has made it a lot harderfor some of his things, i think he has made it a lot harder for some of his supporters in parliament to back him because he has moved away from the fight. liiics has moved away from the fight. uk's labour party — has moved away from the fight. uk's labour party has _ has moved away from the fight. uk's labour party has been in a similar

position before if we look at the rift between suki or starmer and jimmy corbin. do you think this could go that far because mark could borisjohnson potentially be kicked out of the conservative party's i don't think anyone is suggesting he could be kicked out of the conservative party. the only scenario with that would be an option would be if he chose to stand as an independent candidate orjoin another party or start his own party, and there are some calls for him to do that. it was suggested that perhaps i could be a possibility. but i don't think seed that is particularly likely. i think borisjohnson is going to go away for a while, lick his wounds, make a lot of money on the speaking circuit, lucrative tv gigs, he's got a memoir coming out, and wait for an opportunity for the party to decide that actually he was the last person that actually he was the last person that won the big majority, and maybe they want him back. but the idea of rishi sunak sort of kicking him out,

that would cause a rift that i don't think many politicos want, not only because he sabotages borisjohnson's chance, to put a line to say that that was the past, this was the future, we all moved in forward. and borisjohnson, yesterday's news. rachel, thank you forjoining us. rachel, thank you forjoining us. rachel is a senior associate editor of the new statesman. next, we will go to italy. facing a string of legal battles throughout his career. he died in

the man himself, he was a great man for communications. so underneath, he didn't really budge much, but it was putting on a good show. it's interesting what you point out there. , , ., , interesting what you point out there. ,, ., , . there. his personality was so much larier, there. his personality was so much larger. perhaps. — there. his personality was so much larger, perhaps, than _ there. his personality was so much larger, perhaps, than his _ there. his personality was so much larger, perhaps, than his policy. i larger, perhaps, than his policy. part of his legacy of course was his children. he's got five children from two marriages. they all hold stakes in his holding company. what happens now to his business empire? you've been reporting on this. ii you've been reporting on this. if you want to compare this to the tv show succession, one question has kind of been answered already, which is who is going to take over, and it looks like it will be marina berlusconi, the oldest child. she has been running the company for a while already. next on the line is pure sylvia berlusconi, he has been running media set, the tv company. the other three children, who are

from berlusconi second marriage, don't have that kind of day—to—day role, and people have been telling me that actually they may be happy to just continue like that. they are not spring chickens any more. they are into their 30s, 405, not spring chickens any more. they are into their30s, 405, and not spring chickens any more. they are into their 305, 405, and they may be now keen to just sort of carry on with the lives they have built in the meantime, leave those two elder children to manage the company. the question i think is what's going to happen to berlusconi own state in his company, the way thatis own state in his company, the way that is going to be divided. we will learn about that when the will is published. it will go some way to explaining the dynamics between the children, so regardless of the roles they are going to take, how much clout they will actually have. it will perhaps give an indication of whether berlusconi went to his grave preferring to give his two eldest children from his first marriage the importance but they have had up until now. ., ., ,, importance but they have had up until now. ., ., ~' , ., importance but they have had up until now. ., ., ,, , ., ., until now. tom, thank you for “oinini until now. tom, thank you for joining us _ until now. tom, thank you for joining us from _ until now. tom, thank you for joining us from rome - until now. tom, thank you for joining us from rome with - until now. tom, thank you for i joining us from rome with those reflections. on the legacy of silvio

i don't really want to live my life in fear that now i've got a car, i i don't want to drive it anywhere. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. your live with bbc news. you are watching the contract. a us government official has accused china of using cuba as a secret base for its spying operations for years. the unnamed official told the wall streetjournal china had upgraded its intelligence collection facilities on the island — which is around 260 miles from miami — in 2019. however, us secretary of state antony blinken downplayed concerns about china's intelligence capability, saying the biden administration's diplomatic efforts since 2021 had slowed down beijing's attempts to expand overseas. we can speak now to ryan berg, the director of the americas programme at the centre for strategic and international

studies. thanks forjoining us. interesting, but how surprising is this? president trump, when he was president, and did that normalisation process. is it any surprise that there might be moving towards china?— towards china? well, thanks for havini towards china? well, thanks for having me _ towards china? well, thanks for having me on- _ towards china? well, thanks for having me on. look, _ towards china? well, thanks for having me on. look, i _ towards china? well, thanks for having me on. look, i don't - towards china? well, thanks forl having me on. look, i don't think it's any surprise that our strategic rival, china, is trying to find ways to cosy up to regimes in our hemisphere that don't share our values such as cuba. cuba in particular is such a deal strategically well—placed country to cosy up to in terms of the signals intelligence base that is the source of this major story that the wall streetjournal broke last week, but it's not a surprise because it is something that we have seen notjust in cuba, frankly, but across the hemisphere, as china has expanded dramatically its role in the americans shared neighbourhood. so, it's notjust cuba. it's venezuela, it's notjust cuba. it's venezuela, it's nicaragua, which other

countries they are getting quite close to, getting real tangible assets on the ground that serve as potential security concerns for the united states. fii potential security concerns for the united states.— united states. of course, the government _ united states. of course, the government is downplaying i united states. of course, the i government is downplaying the united states. of course, the - government is downplaying the scale and extent of theirs. but strategically, i mean, how useful is it to keep cuba out of the cold? a5 it to keep cuba out of the cold? as you have mentioned, it's of such strategic importance to america, being so close.— being so close. well, i would actually argue _ being so close. well, i would actually argue that _ being so close. well, i would actually argue that this - being so close. well, i would actually argue that this is - being so close. well, i would - actually argue that this is actually actually argue that this is actually a major challenge to the biden administration theory that we could have a thaw with cuba and somehow advance human rights and some of our security six earns better than the approach that has dominated for most of the time that we have dealt with the cuban communist party on the island. it is difficult to argue that we have managed to advance the situation with the current thought, because of this story that has broken, and quite frankly it's a

really important location for china to be. as you mentioned in your intro, it is a couple hundred miles away from florida, where south calm, the us strategic command, the southern command for all of latin america and the caribbean, has its headquarters in miami. so signals intelligence for cuba would be able to monitor the comings and goings of ships and naval and military operations from south calm and that is a significant concern for the security of united states. fii security of united states. of course, is not too long ago that we have that incident where chinese spying balloon was shot down over america. a basic but contextually important question. why is it so important question. why is it so important for china to be spying, especially from areas like cuba, close to the us?— especially from areas like cuba, close to the us? well, the last part of our close to the us? well, the last part of your question — close to the us? well, the last part of your question cut _ close to the us? well, the last part of your question cut off _ close to the us? well, the last part of your question cut off a _ close to the us? well, the last part of your question cut off a little - of your question cut off a little bit there, but i think you are asking about the geostrategic importance. and it's notjust the

location that cuba has two the united states, but if we are looking at this from a strategic competition lens, that china is here to stay in our shared neighbourhood, the closer it can get to us shores and build up real tangible assets in this long—term strategic competition with the united states, the better china may well be position. so as i mentioned before, it's notjust in cuba. i think we need to take a broader aperture here and say this isjust one example broader aperture here and say this is just one example of many that we have seen of china trying to build real, tangible assets. a chaplain in venezuela, nicaragua, and it's also happened in argentina, further to the south, where the peeling army runs a full scope space station in the middle of the patagonian desert thatis the middle of the patagonian desert that is described in the media as a black box. the argentines aren't allowed to go inside. so we have seen efforts in the past, five or ten years ago, to build out these kind of ardent assets that can serve

as intelligence gathering operations against the united states and its partners. against the united states and its iartners. , ., against the united states and its iartners. ,, ., ., against the united states and its iartners. i. ., «i i. against the united states and its iartners. ., «i . a novel british satellite is set to go into orbit later on monday, designed to map the heat signature of buildings. the idea is to highlight those dwellings that are wasting energy and could benefit from better insulation. this is the satellite — it's a relatively small spacecraft called, appropriately, hotsat—1,' and will be operated by the london—based start—up satellite vu. its infrared sensor has been developed with funds from the uk and european space agencies. it's due to launch on a spacex falcon—9 rocket from the vandenberg space force base in california injust under two hours' time. lets speak to doctor tina fossett from the environmental change institute in oxford. this is fascinating, but how useful is it? i don't think it will be really useful because we haven't had this sort of amount of heat mapping information

before. so before, we have used thermal imaging cameras at building level and we have used them in neighbourhoods to help people find out where the houses are leaking energy. but having this sort of national mapping, what we combine it with other data, it could be a really useful source of information. are there challenges with that, though? doesn't under heated home look very different from an insulated home? i look very different from an insulated home?— look very different from an insulated home? ,, , ., , , ., insulated home? i think you put your finier on it insulated home? i think you put your finger on it there. _ insulated home? i think you put your finger on it there. if _ insulated home? i think you put your finger on it there. if you've _ insulated home? i think you put your finger on it there. if you've got - finger on it there. if you've got information that are saying not much heat is coming out of this building, it could be for two main reasons. one is it's very well insulated, so it is keeping the heat you put into it is keeping the heat you put into it in. the other is that you are not heating it. and if that is because somebody can afford to heat and they are sort of cold home, that would give you quite a different interpretation of what the data means. so i think what you would be looking to do with this is combined this data with other things we already know about, for example, the efficiency of buildings, and then by bringing different data sources together, we get something we can

really work with.— really work with. study theory in the uk has some _ really work with. study theory in the uk has some of— really work with. study theory in the uk has some of the - really work with. study theory in the uk has some of the most. the uk has some of the most inefficient housing stock in europe. but there's help with that? i inefficient housing stock in europe. but there's help with that?- but there's help with that? i think an hini but there's help with that? i think anything that _ but there's help with that? i think anything that raises _ but there's help with that? i think anything that raises the _ but there's help with that? i think anything that raises the profile i but there's help with that? i think anything that raises the profile of| anything that raises the profile of the need to insulate your homes better is really helpful. this will inspire some people to act. it will help us use additional existing data better, perhaps. so i think that could be really helpful. we already have quite a lot of information through things like energy performance certificates, more than half of uk homes have these, which give information about efficiency and what measures homeowners or landlords can take. but of course, this will look at all buildings, and we don't have this information for all buildings, so it is part of building up what we need to know. all right. it's really interesting. thank you forjoining us, doctor tina foster, associate professor at the university of oxford. well don't forget, all of our top stories are

covered on the website. just search bbc news and you will find them all they are. of course, we are continuing to cover mr trumps court case that is happening in miami tomorrow. he hasjust arrived. we will have the details as they happen. stay with us on the context. hello there. perhaps not quite as hot as yesterday, but still a hot day today. the highest temperatures were around cumbria. a bit too warm for walking. lots of sunshine around here. we have seen, however, some thunderstorms breaking out across the london area, in actualfact, and drifting into buckinghamshire. and for a good few hours, it's going to be pretty nasty, i think, through the midlands. we've got some torrential thundery downpours this evening, and that could lead to some flooding. and there could be about an inch of rain or so falling in the space of an hour, some downpours heading into wales, parts of northern ireland

and northern areas of scotland. but overnight, it does actually become dry because those storms lose their energy, and we'll see skies tending to clear in most parts of the country. but it's going to be another uncomfortable night for sleeping. these are the minimum temperatures by the end of the night, so perhaps no lower than 15 or 16 degrees in some areas. but as we head into tomorrow, we're onto a generally dry and sunny start to the day. and for england and wales, the risk of storms tomorrow is going to be much, much lower. it looks generally dry for most areas. instead, the focus for the thundery downpours is across western parts of northern ireland and western scotland, and that could lead to some travel disruption as well. now, in terms of the numbers, they're looking very similar to what we had today, so another very warm or hot day. temperatures in wales and the south—west could be a bit higher than they were today. and we're peaking at around 27 or 28 degrees. through the next few days, the rest of the week looks drier with fewer storms, more in the way of sunshine. but it's going to become easier to sleep because it's not going to be as humid, it's not going to be

as hot at night. still very warm, though, by day. high pressure will be building in towards the uk, bringing with it the drier weather, pushing away most of the storms. whereas we had a south—easterly breeze that gave us the heat and humidity, it's more of an easterly breeze, so it's not going to be quite so hot. we've got a lot of sunshine, though, on wednesday, some mist and low cloud for a while along the east coast of scotland. and we could see some fog there developing in western parts of the english channel. it should be dry, sunny skies on the whole and those temperatures not budging too much — highs of 26 or 27 degrees. and, really, through the rest of the week, then, we're not seeing many showers. by the time we get to the weekend, we could see some wetter weather in some western parts of the uk, but otherwise it's dry and sunny and temperatures not changing very much.
