12:30 pm
the destruction left behind after the kakhovka dam burst in southern ukraine — we'll bring you a special report. the arctic monkeys will play at the glastonbury festival tonight, despite front man alex turner contracting laryngitis. we've got that and much more with our music correspondent mark savage. more now on oceangate's titan submersible. search teams found debris from the sub thousands of metres below the surface.
12:31 pm
five men on board took a trip deep down into the ocean to view the remains of the titanic. fine down into the ocean to view the remains of the titanic.- down into the ocean to view the remains of the titanic. one of the interesting _ remains of the titanic. one of the interesting things _ remains of the titanic. one of the interesting things that _ remains of the titanic. one of the interesting things that has - remains of the titanic. one of the interesting things that has come l remains of the titanic. one of the i interesting things that has come out over the past few days is the fact that apparently the us navy heard some sort of implosion in the area in which the sub was lost, around about the time it lost all types of communication with the ship that was accompanying it. the question many now are asking is why didn't the us navy say anything about this sooner and why were they listening to what was happening in that area? our security correspondent gordon corera has more on this. what did the us navy here, and why was it listening in, so to speak? the us navy has a global system of
12:32 pm
sensors and this is an intelligence collection programme particularly to look for submarines from different nations. forat least look for submarines from different nations. for at least 60 or 70 years the us and its allies have been putting different types of sensors in place around the world in the oceans to look for submarines. clearly this is in case of war in the era where submarines could carry nuclear weapons, so people want to detect them. there is a huge amount of classified work that goes into trying to keep military submarine secret, then trying to detect them. there are planes flying overhead that can detect submarines, and sonar buoys on the surface, but there are also deep sea sensors on there are also deep sea sensors on the floor of the ocean which is to detect any kind of disturbances or signals, magnetic resonance as are any kinds of sounds. these operate
12:33 pm
to look for adversarial activity from another military, but they will also pick up other kinds of activity. it does appear in this case that very early on the us navy's intelligence arm did pick up some kind of implosion or detect some kind of implosion or detect some kind of anomaly in that area. they are suggesting that they did inform the coastguard and others and of course that does need to have suggestion did they realise that effectively the submarine was lost? clearly the decision was to keep looking in case there was a chance that something could happen. it does raise questions about the secrecy surrounding these kind of programmes and what can be said and when about what they might hear and see underneath the ocean.- what they might hear and see underneath the ocean. given the area we are talking — underneath the ocean. given the area we are talking about _ underneath the ocean. given the area we are talking about here, _ underneath the ocean. given the area we are talking about here, i - underneath the ocean. given the area we are talking about here, i supposel we are talking about here, i suppose it is understandable that there would be a bit of gorgeousness about being open about what is going on in
12:34 pm
that area. this being open about what is going on in that area. , , ~ ., ., ., that area. this is the kind of area where sorbate _ that area. this is the kind of area where sorbate and _ that area. this is the kind of area where sorbate and then - that area. this is the kind of area where sorbate and then russianl where sorbate and then russian submarines might operate, heading towards the coast of america so the us will be watching it fairly closely. 0f us will be watching it fairly closely. of course, one of the things about this, it is a cat and mouse game, so you do not necessarily want to reveal what kind of capabilities you have, how sensitive they are, what they are able to detect its. all of those are potentially sensitive from an intelligence point of view. if they have these capabilities, they may not want to reveal too much about what exactly they heard or saw and when they did that. that may be one reason why it is taken a few days for it to come out that this did happen. it did happen quite early on after the disappearance.— after the disappearance. gordon, thank ou after the disappearance. gordon, thank you very — after the disappearance. gordon, thank you very much. _ let's turn to ukraine
12:35 pm
and the destruction left after the kakhovka dam burst. ukraine blame russia for the attack, which has left communities struggling with what's become a humanitarian and enviornmental disaster. those above the dam are suffering chronic water shortages. satellite imagery shows how the dam's destruction has caused the kakhovka reservoir, upriver from the dam, to dramatically shrink and dry up, while those below it in the city of kherson are cleaning out their homes, after water levels that were once higher than their houses, now recede. more than 50 people have died, dozens more are missing, as russian forces continue to shell the region. andrew harding sent this report from southern ukraine. a boat beached on the roadside. plenty of puddles and, in places, more than puddles. "how can i live in this?" asks 72—year—old anna.
12:36 pm
but the worst of the flooding is now over here in kherson — a frontline city still targeted daily by russian artillery. somebody has helpfully marked the high water point on this building. and you can see over here on the garage door, the lines where the floodwaters have slowly receded from this area. but there's mud everywhere. retired teachers irina and yevgeny clear through the wreckage of their musty, waterlogged home. "we're like rats," says irina. "we've endured so many disasters, the shelling, the flood, it's as if we've become immune to it all." flood rescue workers suddenly race for cover as russian guns start up again. but many civilians here refuse to be
12:37 pm
driven out of kherson. it's a defiance, a resilience that only seems to have grown since the events of the 6th ofjune. that was the day suspected russian sabotage destroyed this nearby kakhovka dam, releasing a deluge of water downstream. but what about upstream? here that same dam's collapse has emptied out the largest body of fresh water in ukraine. this giant reservoir contained 18 cubic kilometres of water. if it helps, try picturing one giant paddling pool the size of england and all that water has abruptly vanished. and the impact on wildlife here and on humans has been catastrophic. the nearby towns have all run out of water.
12:38 pm
half a million people suddenly relying on emergency supplies. "what do you think it's like carrying water like a donkey?" asks yuliya. "it's scary," says nina. "and the future is even scarier." and yet life rumbles on here. many local men have left to fight the russians, but ivan and his uncle, also ivan, are still working the fields. "there are no polite words for what the russians have done here to our environment," both men agree. and there's something else troubling them. across the floor of the empty reservoir, russian troops are in control of europe's largest nuclear plant. it feels closer than ever now, its future uncertain, too. another worry on this muddy, unpredictable frontline.
12:39 pm
andrew harding, bbc news, ukraine. you might expect door supervisors at bars and clubs to come up against a rowdy customer or two, but what happens when a good night turns bad? 0ur reporter ashleyjohn—baptiste has been speaking to staff in the uk who have experienced everything from physical assault to racism and sexual harassment and are now demanding greater protection in law. i remember yourface. i took a picture already. you are bleep. for door supervisors, dealing with a rowdy customer or two is part of the job. my friend, step back. but what happens when people take things too far? gary has been a door supervisor for nearly four decades. a punch by a customer on shift left him hospitalised. he was diagnosed with post—concussion syndrome, a mild traumatic brain injury with symptoms
12:40 pm
including anxiety and memory loss. it's left him unable to work. what has the emotional and mental impact of this been? you look at yourself, how did this happen to me? why is it happening to me? um, but...again, itold you, my brain phases out here in there, so can you just ask me the question again? i can see that you are a bit emotional. yeah. it is emotional. you don't expect to be assaulted at work. i'm frightened that i might get punched again. and, you know, i don't... i don't want to die. i don't want to die at work. and gary's not alone. 20—year—old 0livia has worked at some of nottingham's busiest venues for almost a year and has faced sexual harassment from the onset. a lot of groping, people trying
12:41 pm
to put their hand down my trousers. they say things like, "i will find you," and they say, "i will kill you, like." and there have been times where they've told me that they will rape me. that's not unusual for that to happen. if it's been you, the target of the abuse, you've got it going through your head of, "are they going to come back for me?" door supervisors are employed by private agencies, but licensed and regulated by the security industry authority. part of our role, a bit more practically to help security officers, is the training that we set the standards for. what we want to see, in the same way as security officers and venues do, is an appropriate punishment for the offence that's been committed. industry bodies are calling for the security industry authority and the home office to introduce legislation to protect door supervisors like ronald from nottingham, who has faced racist abuse throughout his career.
12:42 pm
when there is a black person seen to be in a position of authority, if it's not like you get called the n—word, you get called a monkey. i replay things over and i think, "do i want to stay in this any longer and subject to this when it does happen?" i question. with summer in full swing, and more people flocking to festivals, events and nightclubs across the uk, many door supervisors are increasingly fearful about the levels of abuse they are forced to confront. i see us as the fourth emergency service. we are there before the ambulance service. the police service. we are the first persons on scene. we sign up for helping you when you're sick. when somebody's attacked, you and you need help, i don't go out of my way to kick you out of a club if you're having a good time. it's only if it's necessary. and i don't want it to be necessary. so be good people when
12:43 pm
you go to my club, 0k? we will be talking about this later on. and ashleyjohn—baptiste joins us now. it is absolutely shocking to watch some of that. i'm gobsmacked that people in the workplace are having to put up with that level of abuse. what needs to change here? the re ort what needs to change here? tue: report touched what needs to change here? tte: report touched on what needs to change here? tt2 report touched on it there. workers and leaders in the sector want the same protections and recognition as emergency workers, so tougher sentences and penalties for those who carry out these acts. there is the overarching body, the regulator for the sector, the security industry authority, but there is no body for supporting workers in these instances of abuse, that is something they want to see changed. this is bare the issues that are being faced by these people. what kind of support are they getting
12:44 pm
themselves from anywhere? hanan kind of support are they getting themselves from anywhere? how do sector works — themselves from anywhere? how do sector works are _ themselves from anywhere? how do sector works are quite _ themselves from anywhere? how do sector works are quite interesting. l sector works are quite interesting. i worker gets licensed by the body, then they are employed by a private agency. there are thousands of agencies across the country. the support you get depends on the agency you sign up to, so there is no consistent regulation when it comes to support, no consistent level of support. that is something that leaders in the sector want to see changed. that leaders in the sector want to see changed-— see changed. things like racism, sexual harassment, _ see changed. things like racism, sexual harassment, violence, . see changed. things like racism, i sexual harassment, violence, these are serious offences, so why don't the police get involved in this, or two people in this industryjust tend to brush it off? two people in this industry 'ust tend to brush it offli tend to brush it off? there is a sti . ma tend to brush it off? there is a stigma some _ tend to brush it off? there is a stigma some in _ tend to brush it off? there is a stigma some in the _ tend to brush it off? there is a stigma some in the sector- tend to brush it off? there is a stigma some in the sector say| tend to brush it off? there is a - stigma some in the sector say when it comes to the treatment they are subjected to. they say they are seen as bouncers and the abuse they are
12:45 pm
subject to is part of the territory, so as a result many workers don't feel emboldened or empowered to report those incidences to the police, but we know that it is really important that workers do, and that is something that the home office encourages. the rates of this 0ffice encourages. the rates of this abuse, based on research we have done, it happens often, some workers telling us they face abuse on a weekly basis.— telling us they face abuse on a weekl basis. ~ ., .. , weekly basis. what can the viewers watch and they _ weekly basis. what can the viewers watch and they watch _ weekly basis. what can the viewers watch and they watch it? _ weekly basis. what can the viewers watch and they watch it? are - weekly basis. what can the viewers watch and they watch it? are from, security abuse _ watch and they watch it? are from, security abuse on _ watch and they watch it? are from, security abuse on the _ watch and they watch it? are from, security abuse on the door, - watch and they watch it? are from, security abuse on the door, is - security abuse on the door, is available to watch on bbc iplayer. if they go to the new stream they can find that there. itruieiiii if they go to the new stream they can find that there.— can find that there. well done, thank you- _ around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. nara is showing me a laminated photo of her then two—year—old son from a set she had when she was on an isolation ward in bristol during her
12:46 pm
treatment 30 years ago. i was consciously aware that, if i died, he wouldn't remember me and i didn't want that. despite chemotherapy, nara's cancer came back aggressively and she says she was the first patient with hodgkin's lymphoma to be offered a stem cell transplant in bristol. i knew that it was very serious at that point. i'd been told that my cancer was very aggressive and aggressive treatment was needed. it has led to other health problems for nara throughout her life, but she says she's grateful to have survived longer than expected as a result of the doctor's pioneering work in the early �*90s. this and i increase the numbers every year, every year that i live, and without the unstinting support of the nhs, i certainly wouldn't be here today. you're live with bbc news.
12:47 pm

regarding the tragic incident with the tighten submerged —— submersible, which included on its way to see the titanic. we have received a message from the family, the dawood family, who lost a father and son in that incident. the message reads with profound sorrow we mourn the loss. they went to visit the titanic depths. we try to find solids in the enduring legacy that they left behind. more of course on that story on the bbc in a few minutes. hello. we've got some weather changes
12:56 pm
around at the moment and then we've got a bit of wet weather. but this weekend we have still got some heat and humidity to contend with, notjust by day but by night as well. and it will all culminate on sunday with some particularly potent and thundery downpours. 0ut there today, though, thunder is not really the risk but a rain or drizzle coming and going across parts of scotland, north—west england, north and west wales and indeed northern ireland for the rest of the day. the odd heavier burst. but while it will be particularly grey around these western areas, south and east and the channel islands the sun shines out, a hot day here. 27-28. and in shetland it will be another sunny day. highs here of around 16. but humidity levels are rising. they will rise further through tonight. southerly wind, plenty of cloud around, further rain at times in scotland, northern ireland — and quite misty and murky with some drizzle in the air across some western coasts and hills. but note the temperatures into tomorrow morning. not dropping lower than around 15 or 16 degrees. many will spend much of the night with temperatures in the high teens or low 20s. so a pretty warm start to saturday. a fair bit of cloud around, especially in the west. light rain or drizzle. scotland, the odd heavier shower to contend with, pushing their way north—eastwards. during saturday afternoon,
12:57 pm
the cloud brings up a bit more readily with more sunshine around. you really will feel the heat. with that humidity, it is going to be quite a stifling afternoon. temperatures — 26 around the moray firth, 29 or 30 towards the south—east of england. another very warm night will follow. still drawing air in from the south around this area of high pressure. fresher conditions trying to work in off the atlantic and a dividing line is this by the front which will bring some heavy thundery downpours late in the night and into the start of sunday across ireland. and through sunday, that will spread into many western parts of the uk. it could get close to glastonbury, and then later in the day very close to edgbaston, too. not too much rain across southern counties, and some eastern areas will stay dry throughout. here, the highest of the temperatures. the heat, humidity still in place. 30 degrees across the south—east compares to 18 or 19 in northern ireland.
12:58 pm
and that fresher air will push eastwards with those thundery and in the sunshine, we will see the temperatures lift up once again into the mid—20s. and that is how it is looking. goodbye for now.
