rules. those are the damning findings from a committee of mps. research continues —— the search continues for hundreds of migrants after a crowded boat sank off the southern coast of greece. officials say 100 children were on board. nato defence ministers announced new funding and support for ukraine. and elusive graffiti artist banksy has announced he will be opening his first solo exhibition for 1h years. we will be live in ukraine here in a moment or two, back in kyiv with yalda hakim, but first let's cross to the bbc sport centre and find out the latest there. then croucher is there for us. thank you very much, matthew. england midfielderjude bellingham has described being presented as real madrid player as the proudest day of his life. the 19—year—old has signed a six year deal at the bernabeau
4:31 pm
following his move from borussia dortmund for an initial $111 million. he's been meeting the world's media in the spanish capital on thursday, including john watson. when he was told by his dad 15 months ago that real madrid were interested, he said it gave him goosebumps and that set in process this big move to real madrid. and he will wear the number five shirt and it won't be lost on many football fans, that is the shirt that was worn by zinedine zidane, one of the all—time club legends here when he was at the club here, so big shoes to fill forjude bellingham, but he is clearly excited by the prospect and says this move moves him out of his comfort zone, but is a challenge he is ready to embrace. he is a great player, he was the best, but for me i am trying to have my own path and maybe extend the legacy of the number, instead of trying to reach his, so yes, i will use everything that i have got around me to try to do good by the number and by the player. now we know, very different from his experiences at busio dortmund to
4:32 pm
making the move to here at real madrid, where the demands are so high, they expect a silver and trophies here. he is very aware of that and says he is aware that from the pressure he puts on himself, but it is interesting when you consider the players who have moved here in the players who have moved here in the past, the collector goes, the ready made football stars of world football. this offers a slight change in that approach, clearly now real madrid looking to buy those stars of the future, those players they can build a team around and they can build a team around and they will do so next season with jude bellingham here, but you feel that with the maturity he has to offer and the skills he has as a footballer, i don't feel those expectations and that price tag will be too much of a burden on his ever so young shoulders. john watson there. tributes have been paid to the former scotland and manchester united defender gordon mcqueen, who has died aged 70, two years after being diagnosed with dementia. mcqueen picked up an fa cup winner's medal with united during a seven—year spell at old trafford. teammate and friend bryan robson said he was a "brilliant person
4:33 pm
with a huge heart." he lit up any room he walked into and his family added, "we hope that, as well as creating many great football "memories, he'll be remembered most for his character." to cricket and the ashes gets underway in birmingham on friday, with england skipper ben stokes confirming he will be fit to play some part with the ball. australia skipper pat cummins declined to name his 11 for edgbaston, in contrast to england, who named their team on wednesday. questions remain over the fitness of ben stokes who bowled one over competitively since february due to a knee injury, but he insists he'll be ready when needed. the last 3 days have been really good for my confidence. i have bowled every day so far and been able to run with more intensity day by day, so i have got myself into a real good place to be able to bowl. but david saker has obviously come in and he mentioned to me last week, if you are still bullied by the fourth or fifth test, then we have
4:34 pm
done something right. justin thomas, justin rose and jon rahm are among those teeing off at the us open in the next hour, the third men's golf major of the year. already tommy fleetwood and others are all in on the course, in the early stages, but 3 tee offs there so far, including the american qualifierjacob solomon. francesco qualifier jacob solomon. francesco molinari, qualifierjacob solomon. francesco molinari, former open champion, on one under par. can keep up—to—date with that early leaderboard on the bbc sport website. and that's all the sport for now. thanks very much. as we have been reporting, nato defence ministers have been meeting in brussels to bolster support for ukraine. ahead of that meeting, ukraine's defence minister announced that nato countries begin training ukrainian military on f—16 fighter countries begin training ukrainian military on f—16fighterjets. let's go live now to my colleague, yalda
4:35 pm

4:36 pm
the team. now, the images you are looking at are of the various different drones that are being used in this conflict. notjust in the conflict, though, for the purposes of reconstruction as well, to get a better sense of the destruction in those areas that have been badly hit, places like bakhmut, for example. i was being shown images that they had taken, aerial shots, using those drones, to get a better sense of what had happened in the area as well. they used it for surveillance purposes as well, so thatis surveillance purposes as well, so that is also what they are used for, and what they were describing as kamikaze drones, which is of course used to eliminate either the weapons or the enemy. so various different uses of those drones. they were on display and also they were giving me a bit of a demo, showing me how they actually use them, so really, if there is one thing that i have better understood being here in kyiv
4:37 pm
over the last week also, it is the need for drones, drones and drones. that is what the ukrainians are saying they need. it is also what the russians are saying they are short of and we have seen the russians use those iran iranian made sure he'd drones, that is what they are called, to attack ukrainian infrastructure here, targeting military infrastructure here and really it is though smaller things that the ukrainians and the russians are all saying they need. to take you back to the defence minister's gathering in brussels, i have with me now the deputy defence minister of ukraine, during may. thank you so much forjoining me here of the programme. your defence ministers in brussels talking about what ukraine needs. what messages are taking there? , ., ., ., ., there? first of all, we have to take care of our— there? first of all, we have to take care of our people, _ there? first of all, we have to take care of our people, of _ there? first of all, we have to take care of our people, of course. - there? first of all, we have to take care of our people, of course. we i care of our people, of course. we have _ care of our people, of course. we have to _ care of our people, of course. we have to protect our infrastructure. it means — have to protect our infrastructure. it means our defence and air force.

4:42 pm
how dpr underground, these metros get used as bunkers, as you say, when the air strikes start to happen and then the air raid sirens, many people take shelter in any of the metro stops operating, so it is used for double purposes. but i was saying, at the beginning of the conflict, this matter was not operational and many people had brought their mattresses, duvets, pillows into this metro and apparently the whole space on the platform was being used for people to sleep because they were not sure what was going on overhead. with russia air strikes and the tanks, the column of tanks, you will remember, making its way into kyiv. they had petrified the local communities here, so many people had brought pets, their children, families, really spending a lot of time underground here. and you see the hallmarks of this conflict deep in this metro as well. if we can just pan over, you can probably see
4:43 pm
some of these posters, where they are talking about, you know, the work of the military, trying to keep the community safe. there are images of teachers working in the whole idea and concept of this is that the rest of the community wouldn't be able to operate if it didn't come down to the military supporting them in this conflict. so all of this city, there is a constant reminder of this war, even though, as you can see, people here are trying to get on with their daily lives. they say, look, we know what is going on, but we're not going to allow it impact us. matthew, so many contrasts in this city and across this country. but we will continue to provide our coverage, to bring you up—to—date on the counter offensive, the humanitarian crisis that develops year and also to give you a better picture of how people are trying to

4:46 pm
pushing the cost of borrowing up is one of the main ways the central bank can tackle inflation, which remains stubbornly high at 7% — three and a half times the target. it is a mixed picture for the world as a whole. china's central bank has cut a key interest rate by 0.1% to 2.65%. that's the first cut in ten months and a reflection that the world's second biggest economy is still struggling to recover from the impact of covid. but on wednesday, the us federal reserve held its main lending rate at a range of 5% to 5.25% and warned there may be more increases later this year. so what's the european central bank's thinking behind its increase? here's what the president, christine lagarde, had to say earlier. indicators of underlying price pressures remain strong. although some show tentative signs of softening. staff have resigned
4:47 pm
revised up their projections for inflation, excluding energy and food, especially for this year and next, owing to past upward surprises and the implications of the robust labour market for the speed of this inflation. they now see it reaching 5.1% in 2023, before it declines to 3% in 2024. christine lagarde. ralf preusser is global head of rates research at bank of america. i asked him for his assessment of the ecb decision. we are at an interesting turning point and you or a gear already highlighted contrasting decisions this week. no real surprise from these 3, i would say. ecb told us 3 months back that they were likely to raise rates by 3 consecutive 3 month steps, this is the second one of those, pretty much committed to raising rates again injuly, in line
4:48 pm
with inflation data we have seen, and in light of that data, there is no real surprise there. but we are obviously and nearing the end of thatjourney in europe as well and what some market participants were hoping for today is some signal as to whether the ecb would stop after the next hike injuly, or whether they were likely to still keep going in september and for that, we had not yet learned anything new. it not yet learned anything new. it would the ecb has to do, it has a unique challenge and has to try to harmonise all those economies that use the euro. that is no easy task, given that we know that germany are either in or teaching close to a recession, depending on what numbers you look at, and other economy is faring quite differently and recently they have to find common ground and that is getting increasingly difficult. i’m ground and that is getting increasingly difficult. i'm not sure if that is getting _ increasingly difficult. i'm not sure if that is getting increasingly - if that is getting increasingly difficult, but it is a construction, it is a challenge that needs to be answered by construction. i am not sure it is any more difficult than some of the challenges that the bank of england faces or the federal reserve faces, you know, different
4:49 pm
regions across the us also fared differently at different times. but what is increasingly true is that we are reaching a level of rates in the europe that is already becoming quite restrictive and we already have some economies responding to that, as well as obviously the consequences of the energy price shock that has been quite persistent. 50 shock that has been quite persistent-— shock that has been quite ersistent. :, persistent. so the view there on interest rates _ persistent. so the view there on interest rates that _ persistent. so the view there on interest rates that are _ persistent. so the view there on interest rates that are rising - persistent. so the view there on | interest rates that are rising right round the world, except, though, as we said, in china. he was a question, are you fed up with now here's a question — are you fed up with all the added extras that you find yourself being asked to pay when you buy stuff online? perhaps it's a booking fee or a delivery charge for a concert, a sporting event or some accomodation. well its a problem in many countries around the world and it seems president biden has had enough of it in the us and so some of the world's biggest companies are putting an end to the practice. samira hussain is our north america business correspondent president biden says enough is enough? president biden says enough is enou~h? ~,,. , ., president biden says enough is enou~h? ~ , :, president biden says enough is enou~h? : , :, g; enough? absolutely, he has got 3 companies _ enough? absolutely, he has got 3 companies coming _ enough? absolutely, he has got 3 companies coming into _ enough? absolutely, he has got 3 companies coming into the - enough? absolutely, he has got 3 companies coming into the white | companies coming into the white house to speak to him about this,
4:50 pm
one of which is of course airbnb, and the other companies have to do concert ticket master here in the united states. and this is an initiative that actually the president had announced in his state of the union address. he really wants to show that the government is here for everyday americans, whether it be a big policy decisions or even issues that some might think are minor, like these kinds of invisible fees that people have to pay. now, there are some companies that have already said they are going to do something about it, but really it is a question about how much they are doing to actually make those feeds are more visible.— are more visible. yes, absolutely. samira hussain, _ are more visible. yes, absolutely. samira hussain, good _ are more visible. yes, absolutely. samira hussain, good to - are more visible. yes, absolutely. samira hussain, good to talk - are more visible. yes, absolutely. samira hussain, good to talk to i are more visible. yes, absolutely. i samira hussain, good to talk to you, thank you. that is your business news, you're watching bbc news. thank you very much, thank you. now, let's move to banksy because his works sell for millions around the world. those are done by the street artist banksy, who has never real
4:51 pm
deal his identity, but has announced its first official solo exhibition for 14 years. it will open to the public in glasgow on sunday. he was our entertainment correspondence, colin patterson. banksy�*s first solo show for 14 years was shrouded in secrecy — not surprising for someone who has never revealed their true identity. only two of the staff at glasgow's gallery of modern art even knew it was happening. my wife will be very surprised this morning and obviously all colleagues were as well, but it will be worth it. they'll understand when they realise it's a banksy exhibition. the show is pretty much a career retrospective and we were the first to be given a look around. many of the stencils used to create banksy�*s most famous works have been included in the show, including this one from the barbican in 2017. but they've been painted and given a new lease of life. there was a time when banksy couldn't get his work in major galleries. his solution? wear a disguise, go in and put them up himself. and there is a real behind—the—scenes element to this show.
4:52 pm
how his works were made, including the famous shredder hidden in the frame that went off at sotheby�*s as soon as the girl with the balloon was sold. and as for why banksy chose glasgow — this is the reason. right outside the venue, for more than 40 years, glaswegians have been putting road cones on top of a statue of the first duke of wellington. banksy has declared it his favourite work of art in the uk. this is something, the cone on the head, that's been going on in glasgow since the mid—1980s. and local tour guides approve of his choice. fantastic, i go along with that, that sounds pretty cool to me. banksy�*s last glasgow show was in 2001, before he was famous. as soon as it finished the venue painted over his works. this show could tour the world. colin paterson, bbc news, glasgow.
4:53 pm
great stuff. we will be live in westminster and all the latest after that damning report by the committee of mps. so we will be live on that, live in ukraine and all the other headline stories we have coming up in the next hour or so, a really busy hour coming up, but first let's have a peek at the whether with ben rich. hello. some of us have seen thunderstorms this week, but for others it has remained stubbornly dry. so what chance of rain over the next few days? actually the chance will be increasing, thanks to what is currently just a swirl of cloud a long way to the west of us, a developing area of low pressure. in the short term, this afternoon most places fine, dry and sunny, chance of one or two showers, particularly in the west and where they do occur, they could be heavy and possibly thundery, temperatures getting up to 26 or 27 degrees, some likely to get to 28 or 29. through this evening and overnight we will see largely clear skies overhead, some low cloud rolling into the far north—west of scotland at times and also by the end of the night some cloud and a chance for some thunderstorms
4:54 pm
