where celebrations are going on. hello and welcome. we're starting live in london , where king charles�* first trooping the colour parade is under way. he's at buckingham palace where he's taken the royal salute. the uk's various armed forces are taking part in the event. the king has already become the first monarch in more than 30 years to take part on horseback, his inaugural birthday parade. we can speak now to rl correspondent, and you were mentioning earlier about how lively the king's horse was, and how much skill it took for his majesty to remain in control. it is not an easy feat, is it? remain in control. it is not an easy feat. is it?— feat, is it? yes, i'm not quite sure i'd nut it feat, is it? yes, i'm not quite sure i'd put it quite _ feat, is it? yes, i'm not quite sure i'd put it quite like _ feat, is it? yes, i'm not quite sure i'd put it quite like that. _ feat, is it? yes, i'm not quite sure i'd put it quite like that. but - feat, is it? yes, i'm not quite sure i'd put it quite like that. but is - i'd put it quite like that. but is hosted seem rather on the lively

side. the important thing to tell you is that he hasn't off. the parade has been taking place over the last half hour, not here at buckingham palace where i am, but about half a mile away on horse guards parade. those familiar with london will recognise horse guards paradejust off london will recognise horse guards parade just off whitehall. the parade has been taking place for an hour now, though solute has been taken by king charles the bird on horseback as we mention. you can see there the mounted band of the household cavalryjust going past. as ever, it has been a display of military precision and marching skill. the king there accompanied by the prince of wales and duke of edinburgh. they are on horseback as you can see. also, the queen camilla, who is colonel of the grenadier guards in a rather

splendid to scarlet ensemble, with a had to be told is modelled on the bearskins of the put guards, and the princess of wales, who is now the kernel of the irish guards. at a large crowd, both down there at horse guards, leading politicians, diplomats and high commissioners of embassies here in london. you can see the mounted band of the household divisionjust see the mounted band of the household division just going see the mounted band of the household divisionjust going past. it has all gone very smoothly, although it is quite a bit warmer thanit although it is quite a bit warmer than it was when we last spoke. i have not seen any evidence of people suffering in the warmer conditions. last saturday, for the final dress rehearsal, several of the guardsman fainted quite unsurprisingly in the conditions, but everything seems to have gone according to plan. what will happen now, the parade will start to wind itself up, and then the king will make his way back to buckingham palace, and in about an hourfrom now, or rather less buckingham palace, and in about an hour from now, or rather less than

an hour from hour from now, or rather less than an hourfrom now, there will be hour from now, or rather less than an hour from now, there will be the traditional appearance by the senior members of the royal family, traditional appearance by the senior members of the royalfamily, on traditional appearance by the senior members of the royal family, on the balcony, just a royal salute taking place there. the colour of the welsh guards, which has been the colour which has been trooped today, but as i say, in an hour's time or less, the royalfamily will i say, in an hour's time or less, the royal family will be back at buckingham palace and the king will leave them out onto the balcony, and there will be a fly past. this is essentially an event which involves the british army, the household division of the british army and the royal air force. the royal air force comes in with a fly past, the full coronation fly past, which can take place on coronation day because of the wet weather, but more than 60 aircraft of the royal air force will get their chance today to pay their tribute on this first birthday parade of king charles iii. find parade of king charles iii. and nicholas. _ parade of king charles iii. and nicholas, when _ parade of king charles iii. and nicholas, when we _ parade of king charles iii. and nicholas, when we spoke a little earlier, you mention is that whereas previously we may have been used to

seeing her late majesty the queen, queen elizabeth ii along on her own to inspect the soldiers, earlier today, we sought notjust king charles doing it but he was accompanied by the other senior royals as well. accompanied by the other senior royals as well-— royals as well. yes, they have reverted to — royals as well. yes, they have reverted to the _ royals as well. yes, they have reverted to the format - royals as well. yes, they have l reverted to the format whereby royals as well. yes, they have - reverted to the format whereby the head of state, as it was, the late queen up until 1986 rode on horseback, then in a lit direct small carriage, then we have king charles iii that even at the age of 74 charles iii that even at the age of 7a as remained on horseback throughout parade, and inspected the line, the footguards, the detachment from the ripe regiments of the footguards, he inspected them on horseback. —— de five regiments. and his wife, queen camilla, in the carriage. it has, as i have mentioned, been a display of the

traditional customary military precision. it is something to put quys precision. it is something to put guysin precision. it is something to put guys in particular take great pride in and practice very carefully over a matter of weeks and months. to ensure the drill is as impeccable as it can be. —— at the footguards in particular. it used to be the case that the late queen elizabeth had a very sharp pair of eyes. she had been attending this parade since the years following the second world war, and nobody had a grasp of the intricacies of the drill and how it should be done perhaps then she did, other perhaps than the garrison sergeant major. but i have an unpractised, non—military eye, but i would say that on this warm day, as the detachments now start to leave horse guards to make their way back up horse guards to make their way back up the mall to buckingham palace, i would say that it would all appear to have gone smoothly and well. well, i too have an unpractised eye nicholas, but i would agree with you and defer to yourjudgment. that is

our royal correspondence there. as nicholas was saying, the display will close with a fly past over buckingham palace a little bit later. in fact, buckingham palace a little bit later. infact, injust buckingham palace a little bit later. in fact, injust under an hour. we will bring you those pictures live when it happens. but let's turn to the day's other news now. and ugandan police say militants linked to the islamic state group have killed at least a0 people at a school in the west of the country. adf rebels, a ugandan group based in eastern congo, attacked a secondary school in mpondwe, burning a dormitory. eight other people were injured and are in hospital. dozens are feared to have been abducted. police say the army is pursuing the fighters — who had crossed the border from the democratic republic of the congo. adf rebels have been operating from inside the drc for the past two decades. 0ur correspondent patience athuraire is in kampala and following developments.

what we've just learnt right now is that the death toll unfortunately has increased to about a0 students. the school is said to have had a population of over 60 students, most of them were boarding students, they lived at the school. and last night, the rebels are said to have shown up at around 11:30, and attacked the students. a ugandan army commander in the region has just told the media that they had intelligence that the rebels were within the border area on the congolese side, for about two days before this attack. so, we understand that they came in, they torched mattresses, most of the boys were unfortunately hacked to death or burned, and a good number of the girls, we understand, were taken alive by the fighters. that is a horrific increase in death toll up to a0. just tell us a little bit more about the background of these adf rebels.

what more do we know about them? these rebels were originally ugandan. in the 1990s, they fought against the yoweri museveni government, led by a man called jamil mukulu. at the time, they used to attack communities, attack buses, attack schools. and in 1998, they attacked a technical school, and burnt to death over 80 students, and took about a hundred others at the time. later, they were pushed out of uganda into drc. and they've been looting, killing and rampaging all these years in that area. and in 2021, they were blamed for a series of suicide bomb attacks in kampala. and at the time, the kinshasa government then invited uganda to go into eastern drc and pursue them. that operation is still going on. but they seem to be still able to carry out these horrific attacks.

that is our reporter in kampala, following developments. a search and rescue operation has found no new survivors nor recovered more bodies from the boat carrying hundreds of migrants which sank off the coast of greece on wednesday. 78 people are confirmed to have died but up to 500 remain unaccounted for, after the overloaded vessel sank in one of the deepest parts of the mediterranean sea. the greek authorities are facing mounting questions about whether more could have been done to prevent the disaster. nine suspected people smugglers have been arrested. louisa pilbeam reports. this new footage is said to show the boat in the hours before it sank. you can just make out how crowded it is on board. bbc verify has determined that this video was filmed this week and that the shape of the vessel and the weather match the known details of this tragedy.

hope is all but gone for the hundreds still missing. kassam is waiting for news of his 21—year—old wife, ezra, who risked the journey with people smugglers after she was denied a visa to travel to germany to live with him. she had been staying in a refugee camp injordan and was on board the boat with her 19—year—old brother. kassam's friend, mahmood, spoke to the bbc. there's no hope to find them alive. if the coastguard found them, they will find them dead. we are just waiting for the bodies. those who were rescued are being looked after here in the port of kalamata — just over 100 people were able to be saved. translation: there are no women here. |

all the women died, drowned, with their children in their arms. it's a tragedy. it is unbelievable. and questions continue about the response to the disaster. here, one survivor tells the opposition leader, alexis tsipras, that the vessel sank after the greek coastguard tried to tow it. another man rescued gave a similar story. so what do we now know about what happened? at 11am on tuesday, the greek authorities first made contact with the fishing vessel and say those on board didn't want their help. but a few hours later, according to this e—mail we have obtained, the coastguard are warned by an unofficial hotline for migrants in trouble that 750 people, including women and children, are on board and urgently asking for help. originally, the coastguard said that on tuesday evening it did travel towards the migrant boat, remained at a distance

and discreetly observed there was no problem in its navigation. but yesterday, a government spokesperson confirmed that coastguards had tried to get on board the boat. they used a rope to get closer and see if people wanted help. the spokesman denied any attempt had been made to tow the ship and that the coastguard didn't cause the boat to sink. as those who survived have been arriving at a migrant camp outside athens, greece's caretaker prime minister promised a thorough investigation into what caused the boat to sink and so many people to die. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. 0ur correspondent sofia bettiza is in greece's kalamata with the latest. a search operation continues today here in southern greece, because as you mention, up to 500 people could still be missing, many of them could be women and children.

but, you know, it is the third day that the authorities are looking for survivors. and so far, nobody has been found. it is a very complicated operation. and that is because the accident happened in one of the deepest parts of the mediterranean sea. now, a couple of days ago, nine people were arrested who were on board of the migrant ship. they were all from egypt, and will appear in court here in kalamata on monday. they will have to answer questions from a judge, and the hope is they will help us piece together what exactly happened on wednesday. because we keep getting conflicting reports about what happened, what the greek coastguard did and didn't do, how many people were on board, and the number of victims. are correspondence speaking to me earlier. president putin has confirmed some of russia's tactical nuclear weapons have left the country for the first time since the end of the soviet union

and are now stationed in neighbouring belarus. the us says it's watching developments closely but says there's no indication the kremlin plans to use them. here's our north america correspondent david willis. vladimir putin initially announced his intention to transfer tactical nuclear weapons to belarus back in march, and addressing an economic forum in st petersburg, he said the first such transfer had now taken place. and he expected all those tactical nuclear weapons to be in place in belarus by the end of the summer. following the collapse of the soviet union back in 1991, all such weapons were returned by member countries to moscow. so this represents the first time they've gone in the opposite direction in almost 30 years. belarus is of course a key ally of russia and served as a staging ground for russia's invasion of ukraine last year. but vladimir putin has also been

at pains to point out that these weapons would be used in self—defence if russia's territorial integrity or indeed its very existence is put at risk. and here in washington, dc, the us secretary of state antony blinken was also at pains to play down any possibility of a nuclear confrontation. with regard to the reports about belarus, we've seen comments that were made in the last few hours, we'll continue to monitor the situation very closely and very carefully. we have no reason to adjust our own nuclear posture. we don't see any indications that russia's preparing to use a nuclear weapon. the president said again this week that we remain committed to the defence of nato, every inch of its territory.

such short—range tactical nuclear weapons are generally intended for a limited strike and one that doesn't cause widespread radioactive fallout. but nonetheless, they can also be very powerful. and earlier this week, belarus' president alexander lukashenko said he had already received weapons that he claimed were three times more powerful than the atomic bombs that were dropped onjapan at the end of the second world war. that was our north america correspondent david willis there. let's now return to the events in london, where the tubing with colour parade is taking place. —— where the trooping of colour parade is taking place. charlotte is there to tell us a little bit more. i imagine there is an air of excitement now. people are really excited, _ is an air of excitement now. people are really excited, because - is an air of excitement now. people are really excited, because the - are really excited, because the royal family have left horse guards parade and are making their way down

here in ukraine. mr zelenskyi said that he appreciated these leaders coming over to see him but that he wouldn't negotiate with russia until it let go of any territories it seized in ukraine. and shingai, in terms of the impact of the war on global food prices, of course populations in africa have been particularly affected. so there is this urgent need for peace from their perspective as well. but how likely is their visit to have any effect on putin's approach? well, i think we saw yesterday, as soon as those leaders arrived in ukraine, there were explosions that were heard just outside of kyiv. and i think, for many people, that was an indication of what they think russia's attitude will be to this peace mission.

but what they say is that it is not in africa's interests to do nothing. so they are heading to meet with the russian president, putin, but they also wanted to stress on him the impact that this has had on african economies. president cyril ramaphosa spoke yesterday about the fact that 1.2 billion africans and their livelihoods have been affected by this war and that food prices have gone up by about ia%. so they really want to impress upon both leaders the impact that this war has had on africa. they say that while they're not directly impacted, they see africans as a collateral victim of this war. and staying with you, shingai, in terms of the leverage that the african leaders may have, what are putin's interests in africa and in the continent, and could that go some way towards giving them added

clout and added leverage? south africa, for example, which is leading this mission, has huge business trade with russia under the brics, which is the economic bloc of five nations. billions of dollars worth of trade between those two countries. but i think it also has to be remembered that america also has a huge volume of trade with south africa, going into the billions of dollars. so, on both sides, south africa has interests to protect. but what it has said, given the outcry over its pursuit of a neutral stance with russia, is that it won't be dictated to, even if those economic interests are threatened. and specifically, it's talking about the us trade relations. talking about the response

that the visit had had from president zelensky, but how has it been viewed by the international community? well, i think... you know, there were very low... continue, mayeni. continue, mayeni. i think there were very low i think there were very low expectations about this expectations about this visit to begin with. visit to begin with. many people didn't necessarily see many people didn't necessarily see a link between the conflict a link between the conflict in ukraine and africa. in ukraine and africa. i think the delegations made it i think the delegations made it clear that that link does exist, clear that that link does exist, that they have a vested interest that they have a vested interest there. there. i think it's also important to choose sides. i think it's also important to highlight that a lot to highlight that a lot of african countries of african countries prior to yesterday hadn't really taken a stance in this conflict, diplomatically. conflict, diplomatically. various countries know various countries know where they might lean, where they might lean, and they say that's because they see this as strictly business between ukraine and russia. mr zelenskiy was at pains to point out that that was not sustainable,

that african countries would have
