12:01 am
thanking them for preventing a civil warfrom breaking out. in a speech, mr putin insisted his rule was not weakened during saturday's rebellion by the wagner mercenaries. he suggested russia's regular military showed restraint by not being drawn into any fighting. our moscow editor steve rosenberg reports. vladimir, vladimirovich putin. at the kremlin, it was pomp with a purpose... ..to remind russians he is still in charge around here. waiting for vladimir putin — 2,500 soldiers and guards, and the defence minister the wagner mutineers wanted sacked. having survived the rebellion, it was time to say thank you. translation: you defended the constitutional order, - the lives, security and the freedom of our citizens. you have saved our motherland from upheaval. in fact, you have
12:02 am
stopped a civil war. in fact, the reality was rather different. the wagner soldiers, who had been cheered on the streets of rostov, had only stopped their rebellion after the kremlin did a deal with them, promising not to press charges against them and their leader, yevgeny prigozhin. still, kremlin spin is presenting this as a triumph for the president. the mutiny by mercenaries was a major challenge to vladimir putin's authority. but, the uprising is over, and now the kremlin is trying to change the optics, to reframe what happened as a victory for the president and for russia. but where is yevgeny prigozhin? under his deal with the kremlin, he agreed to leave russia for belarus. today, the leader of belarus, alexander lukashenko, said, "yep, he's here." but in exile, could mr prigozhin still be a threat to the kremlin?
12:03 am
not if vladimir putin can help it. he's now suggesting that russian investigators might probe the wagner group's finances. a less than subtle hint to the wagner chief not to make trouble. the last few days have put him under huge pressure. now, president putin's determined to show he is in control. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. nato secretary general jens stoltenberg said the events in russia over the weekend meant nato would increase its commitment to supporting ukraine we all saw the events in russia over the last few days. these are internal russian matters but what is clear is that president putin pulse was illegal war in ukraine and
12:04 am
steeping divisions and created new tensions in russia. at the same time, we must not underestimate russia. it is even more important that we continue to provide ukraine with our support. and i expect that our summit in a couple weeks' time will send a clear message of our commitment. earlier, i spoke to melinda hehring, non—resident senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center. she told me why putin and lukashenko decided to send prigohzin to belarus? alexander lu kashenko is alexander lukashenko is the disgraced leader of belarus. his stock as really low. he is hanging on by a thread. the best way to describe it as a romance of vladimir putin, sometimes they and sometimes they are not. lukashenko saved putin's big enough for this we can. your spacing the biggest
12:05 am
threat and 23 years when prigozhin took 10,000 armed troops and marched to moscow. now, putin couldn't get a hold of prigozhin and lukashenko was able to get a hold of them and convince them, according to lukashenko's account to move to minsk, not a plausible explanation but look, idea is that prigozhin is now in minsk in the coup d'etat was over and lukashenko is in the catbird seat and lukashenko is in the catbird seatand vladimir lukashenko is in the catbird seat and vladimir putin is weak and mopping things up. fine and mopping things up. one thing that— and mopping things up. one thing that we've _ and mopping things up. one thing that we've already heard from a lot of neighbouring countries is that this may destabilise the continent. is that a bit too extreme for other real concerns about that? too extreme. the baltic states a single holy cow, we do not want prigozhin anywhere near us. itjust totally want prigozhin anywhere near us. it just totally fair but
12:06 am
they are also under the nato umbrella and prigozhin is not the leader of a nation. he has a militia. it is a powerful chris mayjust come he loud, yes, it's of noxious christmas gifts. but is not the threat that vladimir putin is to the security of europe and that's completely overstated. i understand why they do not want to be his neighbour, i do not want to be his neighbour either. , ., �* ., either. things don't tend to end well— either. things don't tend to end well for— either. things don't tend to end well for people - either. things don't tend to end well for people who - either. things don't tend to end well for people who go | end well for people who go against vladimir putin? what you think the future holds? the “oke is you think the future holds? the joke is that _ you think the future holds? tue: joke is that prigozhin you think the future holds? tte: joke is that prigozhin should not go near any windows and a lot of vladimir putin's enemies have been pushed to the windows, poison, we do not know the future holds for him. i do not think they would just push them out of the window there. prigozhin important reference for a long time and he is put in's erin boy and cadet aarons. he was his chef, he randall

wagner group troops and is very popular online in a good communicator. i think we have to see how this all plays out but prigozhin's forces are going to say they're going to stand down and offer choices make a go to minsk they could go home they could join the russian forces. with this put more pressure on putin who is trying to hold the line in ukraine? probably so and that's another space to watch. a coroner has concluded that nicola bulley�*s death was accidental and she did not have "any desire" to take her own life. the 45—year—old went missing on a dog walk in st michael's on wyre in lanca—shear injanuary. her disappearance had prompted a major search, which led to intense public interest and a social media frenzy of conspiracy theories. the coroner ruled she drowned after falling into cold water. 0ur correspondent danny savage has the details.
12:08 am
nicola bulley with her dog willow, a coroner was told that she cheated the spin on the third child and would never have willingly abandoned it on the river bank. willow's harness and nicola's phone were found one friday morning injanuary at this spot. the place where nikki bulley accidentally fell into the river wyre. her body wasn't found for three weeks. a period when herfriends desperately appealed for information and social media was filled with unfounded and often cruel speculation. what really happened was a tragic accident. but it's left her family damaged by unfiltered online comment. it is upsetting that we have continued to receive negative, targeted messages and still wildly inaccurate speculation being shared on numerous platforms. we encourage people to look at the facts, the evidence which has been heard during the inquest, and the conclusion reached by the coroner.
12:09 am
the coroner was told there was nothing in nicola bulley�*s medical records to say she was suicidal. yes, her family acknowledged, she did have a blip last christmas because of the side effects of hrt, and was drinking too much. but she wasn't talking about taking her life. her partner, paul ansell, seen here in february, tearfully told the inquest that when she went missing, she was back on her medication and wasn't drinking. everything was in a good place, he said. all of the evidence pointed to a dreadfully unfortunate event. i hope that his majesty's coroner's clear and definitive findings will put an end to ill—informed speculation and conspiracy theories which have been so damaging to nikki's family and the community of st michael's. this inquest should finally put to an end the speculation surrounding the death of nicola bulley. perhaps now the online voices who suggested anything more
12:10 am
sinister will be muted. her family nowjust want to focus on who they describe as the most amazing mum who had so many future plans. instead of things said by people who never knew her. danny savage, bbc news, preston. let's take you now to the us, where an audio recording has emerged of donald trump allegedly handling papers and saying they were �*highly classified' during a post—presidential interview. while speaking with an author working on a memoir of his former chief of staff mark meadows, mr trump is heard rifling through papers and saying �*this is highly confidential�*. earlier this month, he appeared at a federal court in miami charged with 37 counts of illegally retaining classified documents. and obstructing the government�*s efforts to get them back. he has denied the charges. well, former president donald trump has been lashing out at that recording. this is what he had
12:11 am
to say today: this is a continuation of the greatest witchhunt of all time, that�*s all it is. and its primary purpose is election interference and we are not going to let this election be stolen from us. this is a form of rigging the election. because they wrecked the presidential election in 2020 and we are not going to allow them to wreck the presidential election of 202a. 0ur north america correspondent anthony zurcher has been giving us the latest. well, it was supposedly about whether the republicans of that state could draw the lines of the congressional districts in the congressional districts in the way that gave republicans an advantage. the north carolina supreme court said they could not interpret the state constitution but that didn�*t really matter because conservatives took over that state supreme court and wind and changed in any way. the
12:12 am
supreme court, the us supreme court continued to look at us and consider the case because the republicans in north carolina had a defenseless idea of the independent state legislature theory and that is because state legislature have sweeping powers and cannot be changed by state supreme court and cannot be checked by the governor and federal courts and state constitution and people speculated particularly on the left of this could be taken by the trump supporters in 2020 dissidents state legislators could throughout election results and whatever they want or ignore state addicts to see how to run their elections and the majority ofjustices say they cannot do that and basically, nothing changes but there was a lot of fear that this could upend the way states when elections in the way legislatures could control elections.

thousands of hospital consultants in england have voted to strike over pay — in their longest industrial action since the 1970s. the senior doctors will walk out for two days next month — on the 20th and the 21st ofjuly — which means operations are likely to be cancelled. junior doctors — and that includes doctors who have spent up to 8 years working in hospitals — are already planning to strike from 13th to 17th ofjuly. but it has been announced that the current strike action by nurses won�*t continue. our health editor hugh pym reports. chanting: no ifs, no buts, no junior doctor cuts! - junior doctors have already been staging strikes over pay in england. they are planning the longest yet, five days, next month. now their senior colleagues, consultants, will walk out of some care, likejunior doctors, they rejected a 5% pay rise. might not for the pay is
12:14 am
following 30% in 15 years. so this has been the accumulation of lots of pay cuts over the last decade. and because inflation has been rising, it really has exacerbated the losses we�*ve actually had. it�*s really brought home just how much pay had fallen with the current rise in inflation. that, coupled with what�*s happened during covid, has really brought the focus on how much consultants do. bosses at this leading hospital say they support the right to strike, but are now having to face up to wider disruption and more cancellations. so it will be challenging, but the public should be absolutely assured that we throughout the nhs will keep patients safe, but a lot of routine activity will be lost on the back of the strikes and that's why it's really important more than ever it's really important that all parties get around the table and resolve this matter. the government said the strike vote was disappointing and consultants would benefit from pension tax changes. it�*s a different story for nurses in england. what do we want? pay rise!

how do we get it? strike! what began in december with the biggest set of strikes in the union�*s history has come to an end. in april, members rejected a pay offer accepted by most other health unions. we have listened as your royal college of nursing... but then in a new ballot, not enough of them voted to reach the legal strike threshold. i admire what our nursing staff have really done over this past year, taking industrial action is not easy. you recommended with other unions a 5% pay increase. your members rejected it. now there is not a mandate for further strike action. have you misread the mood? no, i don�*t think any of us have misread the mood. they�*re very tired. they�*re concerned about losing more pay during industrial action, but they�*re absolutely very clear that they will continue to campaign for what is right for nursing and what is right for their patients. ambulance unions, unison and the gmb, had already called off strike action. rcn members now won�*t be striking either. we reached a deal with the nhs staff council that the majority
12:16 am
of trade unions agreed to. i'm pleased that the rcn have now ended their industrial action. consultants in other parts of the uk are not in a pay dispute. junior doctors in scotland will stage a strike next month, so there and in england, patients will find many areas of care are affected. hugh pym, bbc news. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. climate change is a global problem but one way to tackle it could be found here. doctor guides me through a big field of barley in norfork. this guides me through a big field of barley in norfork.- of barley in norfork. this is the sensor _ of barley in norfork. this is the sensor stop _ of barley in norfork. this is the sensor stop what - of barley in norfork. this is the sensor stop what he i of barley in norfork. this is i the sensor stop what he wants to show me two sensors. tt is to show me two sensors. it is sniffin: to show me two sensors. it is sniffing the — to show me two sensors. it is sniffing the air? _ to show me two sensors. it is sniffing the air? it _ to show me two sensors. it is sniffing the air? it is - to show me two sensors. it is sniffing the air? it is indeed l sniffing the air? it is indeed in the gas _ sniffing the air? it is indeed in the gas is _ sniffing the air? it is indeed in the gas is going - sniffing the air? it is indeed in the gas is going through | in the gas is going through these tubes.— in the gas is going through these tubes. ., , , . ., these tubes. the gas is called sulphide. _ these tubes. the gas is called sulphide, the _ these tubes. the gas is called sulphide, the body _ these tubes. the gas is called sulphide, the body produces i these tubes. the gas is called | sulphide, the body produces a compound which is turned by

12:23 am
to the impact of tourette�*s and that on saturday, it had become obvious he needed to spend much more time getting his mental and physical health in order so he could keep doing what he loved. lewis capaldi is one of around 300,000 people in the uk with tourette�*s syndrome. it causes involuntary movements or tics and sometimes sounds, although contrary to popular belief, involuntary swearing is rare. in september, the singer spoke to bbc breakfast about tourette�*s and the challenge of living and performing with the condition. it depends, like, if i�*ve had enough sleep, what i�*ve been eating, what i�*ve been drinking. and it�*s one of those things where if you�*re really excited, it�*s kind of twitchy. if you�*re nervous, if you�*re happy, it�*s weird, if you feel any emotion at all, tourette�*s seems to come knocking. and campaign groups say he�*s done much to raise awareness of tourette�*s. when i saw him performing, i could feel his pain. you could just see that he felt
12:24 am
deflated from the performance. but what he didn't realise, that in that very moment he was making history. people were accepting him for who he was. regardless of his tics and his mental health difficulties, they were accepting him. and for the tourette's community, that's huge. lewis capaldi described the decision to take a break from touring as the most difficult of his life, and apologising to fans, said he�*d be backjust as soon as he was able. john donnison, bbc news. the rapper stormzy and the crystal palace forward wilfried zaha have agreed a deal to buy the non—league club afc croydon. the artist — who grew up in the south london borough is part of a three—man consortium, including palace s former head of player care, danny young. the club compete in the ninth tier of english football. before we go — a still—life fresco,
12:25 am
depicting a possible ancient ancestor of the pizza, has been found on the wall of a house in pompeii — the roman city wiped out by an eruption of volcano mount vesuvius two thousand years ago. the fresco was found in the atrium of a house with a bakery attached to it. however, it isn�*t pizza as we know it today, as two thousand years ago tomatoes and mozzarella, the basic ingredients of the pizza — were unknown. hello there. it looks like today will be the warmest day of the week, feeling quite humid, especially across england and wales, and it�*s across england and wales where we should tend to stay dry for much of the day. but there will be a band of rain pushing in across scotland and northern ireland that will continue its journey eastwards during tonight. so, we�*re in this wedge of warm and humid air, especially for england and wales. this cold front, though, will be pushing rain initially into northern ireland and then into scotland as we run through the day and behind it,
12:26 am
it�*ll turn brighter, but there�*ll be some cooler, fresher air here and the rain will tend to ease down as it pushes its way eastwards. but much of england and wales will stay rather cloudy, generally dry, bar the odd heavy shower and some glimmers of brightness here in there. but it will be warm and muggy, 22 to 25 degrees here. but the mid to high teens, further north and west where it brightens up behind the rain band. but through wednesday night, it looks like that rain band then starts to pepper up as it reaches the midlands, southern and eastern england. so send the rain may turn out to be heavy by the end of the night. and again, it�*ll be quite a warm, muggy night in the south east corner, much cooler and fresher further north and west. this is the pressure chart for thursday. there�*s that weather front, very slow to clear from the south east. so, it could be quite a wet day here. but elsewhere, it�*s brighter start to have sunshine around. one or two showers will develop as the cloud bubbles up mainly across the north and west of scotland. it�*ll be breezier, but it�*ll be wet across east anglia in the southeast, i think, for much of the day. in fact, some very welcome rain here. of course, temperatures are lower across the board,
12:27 am
away from the very far southeast. we�*re looking at 15 to 18 in the north and the west, 20 to 22 for much of england and wales. for friday, though, another set of weather fronts start to spread down across the country thanks to low pressure. so it�*ll tend to stay quite cloudy and damp, but more isobars on the charts, too. so a breezier day to come on friday, especially around irish sea coast across scotland and northern ireland. it�*s here where we�*ll see most of the rain, the heaviest of the rain. but we also some patchy rain pushing into western england and wales. further east that you are tending to stay dry with variable cloud, maybe some glimmers of brightness which could push temperatures up to 22 degrees. otherwise for most, it�*s the mid to high teens, so feeling fairly fresh for the time of year. into the weekend, low pressure continues to bring sunshine and showers mainly to the north and the west of the country. better chance of staying drier and a little bit warmer further south and east.
