and as a policeman i think, well, my therapists have said, it's made it 100 times harder. because that's what my unit did. investigate murders. so i'm used to postmortems, i know what go on in there. i see them. i relive the initial investigation over and over and over again, just going through what should have been done, just what should have been done. and it breaks me down. i'm not ashamed to say, i cry every day, a number of times a day. i'm half the man i was.
11:16 pm
i'm a wreck. and i'll never, ever get over it. i'm absolutely brokenhearted, because georgia shouldn't. .. she shouldn't have been murdered. reynolds could and should have been dealt with. simple to put him in front of a judge and a judge could have done everything that they needed to do with reynolds. i mean, it's absolutely heartbreaking to hear you speak like that and i'm so, so sorry for you. and the family, obviously. what do you want people to take away from this interview and from the book that you've written? ijust hope that people read it, they can pick up on certain things and it might help them out if ever they are in the horrible situation
11:17 pm
that we found ourselves in. steve and annette, thank you very much for talking to us. i really appreciate it, thank you. thanks for having us. yes, thanks for letting us explain what it's really like. west merica police who investgiated jamie reynolds told us that the force's handling of previous incidents by him was investigated by the independent police watchdog and internal misconduct proceeedings, which did not find a causal link between the officers�* actions in 2008 and georgia's murder. they went on to say "we are genuinely sorry about what happened, but we know that saying sorry is not enough. we keep looking at what we do, improving how we assess risk and intervening earlier. the force is investing heavily in improving investigations, especially in relation to tackling violence against women and girls." so let's take a look
11:18 pm
at some of the front pages. the daily telegraph has a photograph of the british billionaire said to be missing on the titanic tour, aviation tycoon among five people on board the submersible whilst on a 12,500 foot dive to the wreck. in the top of that paper, get ready for an epic ashes finale. and michael gove says mortgage is fixed for 25 years could ease the crisis. that is the main story on the ft, actually, mortgage squeeze piles the pressure on homeowners and raises the risk for rishi sunak. front page of the guardian, tories round onjohnson as mps vote to approve the partygate report. and finally, the daily mail, uk billionaire trapped inside titanic tourist submarine with air running out, and it talks about the frantic search for the vessel that could be 12,500 feet down. that is all from us tonight, i am back
11:19 pm
tomorrow. see you then. looks like a number of russian dead — at least two — still in there. they're taking ground to the south of bakhmut and to the north of bakhmut. the city itself still firmly under russian control. but it's very early days in this counteroffensive. they�* re making small gains. the big challenge for them is when they find a major breakthrough, and they haven't found that yet. and that could come anywhere along this 1000 kilometre frontline. it could come here, it could come in the south. and they're attacking in multiple places, just trying to stretch those russian resources, manpower and weaponry
11:20 pm
to breaking point. and then they can smash on through. we travelled 130 kilometres south—west from 3 storm's position the men fought russian marines for three days to take this village. here it's very difficult, very difficult, because this is the main area of activity for russian soldiers. we can see here it looks like it has been fighting house—to—house, room by room, very close? yeah. this is very difficult. every kilometre is very difficult. and everywhere we... i know how many people we lose, but i cannot tell you. 0k. more russian corpses over here. russian soldiers. one, two, three.
11:21 pm
there is still a lot of fighting here. still in range of the russian guns on the hills. russian guns on hills, but our next problem, this is approximately 1.5 kilometres from here. the russian position? i am at the russian positions. andrii is already giving orders for the next attack. it is imminent. translation: diesel, it's very important. - you need to listen to people. listen closely and do everything they tell you. and smile. why are you so serious? we are winning this war. with just hours to go they pack up everything and ready for the trenches.
11:22 pm
this specialised drone unit will play a vital part in the assault. while artillery sounds all around them, they have to move fast to get closer still to russian positions. the cost of this fight is everywhere to see. destroyed western—built armour litters the battlefield. but russia, too, has lost dozens of tanks and vehicles since this offensive began. on a hot day, east of blahodatne, the ukrainian attack begins. the air thickens with artillery and expectation. ukrainian guns pound the russian positions, and their enemy soon responds.
11:23 pm
but it's a miss. yuri of the drone unit can't delay until the shelling stops. the drones he's sending to enemy trenches carry grenades and smoke bombs. they lose as many as five of these a day. and there's more than just artillery to content with. there are some helicopters and russianjets, that fire every day, so every time... explosion. go to shelter. 0k. good luck. he just illustrated that point very well, that one of the big advantages that the russians have over the ukrainians is airpower. the ukrainians are attacking on the ground but the russians still have helicopters, still have war planes. it makes it much more difficult for them to advance. the battle won, the danger
11:24 pm
is far from over. as we make our way back from the trenches, more russian artillery fire targets andrii's convoy. we need to move fast. and the 49—year—old commander carries an extra burden — the memory of his son. this is the helmet of my son. a little bit smaller for me, but this is like... ican remember... he cries. this is like i remember. this was 21—year—old 0stap, filmed the day before his death. he fought on the same frontlines as his father. two days before the counteroffensive began, he was killed by a russian drone.
11:25 pm
it has cost a lot. it has been especially hard for you. you lost your son. can you tell us a bit about your son, please? translation: he wanted to be a hero for me. - he wanted to be a hero for me, and he succeeded. i wanted to protect him, but he wanted to be a hero. and he won. ukraine may yet win back its land, but there is much here that will never be recovered. quentin sommerville, bbc news, donetsk. that's all we have for you now. stay with bbc news. hello.
11:26 pm
once again, some of you, thundery downpours on the way for tuesday. not a wash—out of a day, there will be some brighter moments too, but especially for england and wales, that thundery rain comes from what was some of these clouds of the bay of biscay on monday edging their way northwards. and by the end of the night, into the start of the day, that rain will have set in across parts of wales and southern england. another humid start here in particular, tiny bit fresher further north, but temperatures in double figures. isolated shower for much of scotland, northern ireland, northern england. start the day dry with some sunshine, but spells of heavy, thundery rain work their way northwards and eastwards across much of england and wales. the worst of the overnight rain clearing the south west quite quickly, but some intense downpours in amonst that. but further east, east anglia, southeast, rainfall amounts will vary quite widely, some say not much at all. that heavy, thundery rain moves across northern england during the morning and early afternoon, affecting some eastern fringes of scotland as well.
11:27 pm
west of scotland, northern ireland, another day of sunny spells, but also some, well, scattered, heavy and thundery showers. and across england and wales, while skies will brighten into the afternoon, some slow moving thunderstorms possible here, not too many, but some of those could be close to edgbaston on what will be another reasonably warm day. the rain to the far east of scotland to finish the day clears northwards as we go into wednesday night. most will then have a dry night, a few isolated showers out into the far northwest, but temperatures 11—14 celsius with a little less humidity out there. it should feel a touch more comfortable for some of you for sleeping. but there is a change for wednesday in that whilst we've also got low pressure close by to the north, which will be prone to bringing showers northern half the country, the winds will be westerly. so showers will develop, but they'll move through across the skies quite quickly. so it'll be a chopping and changing day for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, some of the showers heavy and thundery. further south, though, fewer showers and more of you will be dry. and with some longer sunny spells, temperatures should lift a little bit across the south, up to 25—26 celsius. for the end of the week, brief ridge of high pressure tries to push its way into southern eastern areas. weather fronts always close
11:28 pm
by to the west, so it does look like we will still see some rain at times, especially across the western half of the country. but in the sunnier moments, it's going to turn increasingly humid. 29 celius possible this weekend in the london area, but not completely without the rain. and with lots of events going on through this week and weekend, check the latest details for where you're heading on the bbc weather app. take care.
