good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. this is the source of the river thames — no water visible, just a stone in a field in gloucestershire. but from a trickle it turns into a mighty river that flows through oxford, reading, london and out to the sea. and that river is used to supply up to 15 million people with water. london alone gets about 70% of its water from the thames and its tributries. but the company behind all that — thames water, that covers this whole area — is in trouble. there are reports that it could be on the brink of collapse. it is heavily indebted to the tune of about £14 billion. the government says it is ready to act in a worst case scenario. here's our economics editor, faisal islam. the british motor industry has bopped along in a stream of profits and easy money since privatisation

30 years ago —— at the british water industry. but something far murkier is emerging under the surface. the government, to merge, is on standby to take thames water back into effective government control as it struggles to find the funds it needs to stay afloat amid a surprise resignation from the chief executive. i resignation from the chief executive.— resignation from the chief executive. . , . ., resignation from the chief executive. . ., . executive. i was concerned to hear the ceo had _ executive. i was concerned to hear the ceo had resigned _ executive. i was concerned to hear the ceo had resigned abruptly - executive. i was concerned to hear the ceo had resigned abruptly but| executive. i was concerned to hear i the ceo had resigned abruptly but we need to make sure thames water as an entity survives. need to make sure thames water as an entity survives-— entity survives. thames has been runnina entity survives. thames has been running the _ entity survives. thames has been running the joint _ entity survives. thames has been running the joint worst _ entity survives. thames has been running the joint worst in - entity survives. thames has been running the joint worst in the - running the joint worst in the country and this comes amid rising multi—billion pound debts and pay outs, especially to the previous owners. fish outs, especially to the previous owners. ~ . , . . owners. an absolute scandal, what has happened- _ owners. an absolute scandal, what has happened. huge _ owners. an absolute scandal, what has happened. huge dividends - owners. an absolute scandal, what| has happened. huge dividends paid out, huge _ has happened. huge dividends paid out, huge debt taken on, customer bills rocketing, sewage dumped into rivers _ bills rocketing, sewage dumped into rivers the _ bills rocketing, sewage dumped into rivers. the government must come forward _ rivers. the government must come forward and — rivers. the government must come forward and explain what they are going _ forward and explain what they are going to _ forward and explain what they are going to do to sort this out. thames

more investment like this work on an 18 mile tunnel under the capital to replace victorian sewers, but that is now required at a time of high inflation and rising interest rates. in a statement, thames water said it notes recent press speculation and continues to maintain a strong liquidity position, including £4.4 billion of cash and committed funding, but this is what sarah bentley, the chief executive who resigned this week, told the bbc three months ago. we resigned this week, told the bbc three months ago.— resigned this week, told the bbc three months ago. we are trying to reverse decades _ three months ago. we are trying to reverse decades of _ three months ago. we are trying to | reverse decades of underinvestment where there was cost—cutting, the business was hollowed out, we are having to re—hire engineers, bring in talent, rebuild a broker business. in talent, rebuild a broker business-_ in talent, rebuild a broker business. . . ,, , ~ business. that takes time. an emerging _ business. that takes time. an emerging picture _ business. that takes time. an emerging picture of _ business. that takes time. an emerging picture of a - business. that takes time. an | emerging picture of a creaking system that when money is cheap sordet a pylon, mainly to the benefit of shareholders, and now when the public demands more

the word in nanterre last night was rage. the shooting of 17—year—old nahel yesterday setting alight the long cold war between french suburbs and french state. the police traffic check was caught on camera. a brief discussion at gunpoint. then, as nahel drives off, the officer shoots him through the windscreen at point—blank range. —— at the officer appears to shoot him. his mother said in an online video that they'd taken her baby away. translation: he was still a child. he needed his mother. he kissed me goodbye in the morning and said, "i love you, mum." an hour later, i was told that someone shot my son. what shall i do? he was my life. he was everything to me. the death of young people at the hands of police

here in the paris suburbs has sparked rage and riots against the state before. what's adding to the anger this time are initial claims by the police that nahel drove into officers before he was shot, a narrative that contradicted by the video that's emerged. president macron and his government have come out strongly against the police actions. translation: a teenager has been killed. _ this is inexplicable and inexcusable, and the first thing is to express affection, shared sorrow and support for his family and loved ones. france's star footballer killian mbappe was among those who are acting on social media, saying his france was hurting for the little angel, nahel, who left much too soon. france's national assembly held a minute's silenced today as the country held its breath. parliament and suburbs, the two sides of france marking the death of a teenager

in their own very different ways. lucy williamson, bbc news, nanterre. an estimated 700,000 children in england are being taught in unsafe or ageing school buildings — so much so that in some cases there is a real risk of a collapse causing injury or even death. a national audit office report says funding for maintenance and rebuilding is well short of what is actually needed. the national education union said the government is spending "nothing like enough" on school buildings. our education editor, branwenjeffreys, has more. flat roofs and portakabins, prefab buildings past their best — patching up these gateshead infant and junior schools is a struggle. 25 plus years old, and they need a lot of upkeep and they are in a state of quite a lot of disrepair. this is a staircase that we can only now use as an emergency exit, because it's just not safe because of all the corrosion. so everything in this corridor is glued on,

and the reason it's glued on is because of the asbestos. it is safe so long as we don't disturb it. these boilers are for our central heating and they are at the end of their life, and they will cost in excess of £60,000 to replace. 500 schools in a worse condition are getting funding, so their bid for £5 million was turned down. we are having to patch up all the time, so it's like putting sticking plasters over open heart surgery, you know? ultimately i believe that we are doing the best we can with the delegated funding that we have, but it'll probably cost the taxpayer more in the long run. around four in ten school buildings in england are like this. many were built cheaply in the 19605 and 70s. and while they wait for cash to repair or replace, their condition is getting worse every year. circle, table in the middle, bean bags around the outside. pupils say they'd love separate library and dining room, but what bothers them is how hot it gets in summer. well, it's harderto, like, focus when it gets hot. we have to put our feet in trays

of water to make us cooler. sometimes there's leaks. and it gets too hot _ because the walls are thicker. next year this old portakabin will have 30 pupils in it. you can see around the walls, the ceiling, it's starting to peel, there's holes in the walls. it's got windows all down one side of the south facing, so during the summer months it can become increasingly hot. this school is just dealing with ageing buildings, but 65 others in england have serious structural problems. hundreds are being investigated for dangerous concrete. here in gateshead, parents told me they want more investment. it's a lovely school, great teachers, lovely children, but they do need to invest a lot of money into a specific building like this. we need a purpose—built building and we need that kind of extra money, that extra injection of money into the buildings, because it would make a massive difference. spending on school buildings has fallen below what is needed. even so, ministers argue the investment in transforming schools is significant.

branwen jeffreys, bbc news, gateshead. the hollywood actor kevin spacey has appeared in court in london accused of a string of sexual offences. the oscar—winning actor is facing a dozen charges relating to four men over a 12—year period from 2001. he denies the claims and has already pleaded not guilty. the prosecution is due to get under way on friday. at least 11 people are known to have died at a pizza restaurant in ukraine yesterday when it was hit by a russian missile. three children were among the dead, including 14—year—old twin sisters, and dozens more were injured. andrew harding sent this report from kramatorsk. outside the ruins of the popular restaurant, anxious relatives and friends, still waiting for news late this afternoon here in eastern ukraine. another body, the 11th so far, is brought out, to the distress of those hoping for word

of more survivors. among those already confirmed dead, these twins, 14—year—olds yuliya and anna. this was the scene in the city of kramatorsk last night, moments after a russian missile hit the restaurant and a nearby hotel. untranslated speech. shock and panic amongst survivors. "my daughter is still inside, her name is irina," says this woman. later, we hear she has been rescued. but the death toll has continued to rise. the rear lounge was a favourite venue for young ukrainians, international journalists and ukrainian soldiers taking a break from the nearby front lines. rescue work continued through the night. it's become a grim routine now

in a big industrial city that's been repeatedly targeted by the kremlin's forces over the past year—and—a—half. and this time a new twist — ukrainian security services releasing this photo of a local man they've just arrested, describing him as a russian agent who allegedly sent video footage of the restaurant to the russian militaryjust hours before it was destroyed. did the kremlin deliberately target this particular restaurant? in a sense, it doesn't matter. russia sent two big, powerful missiles crashing into the centre of a crowded city at a busy time of day. civilian casualties were almost inevitable. another air raid siren, but the rescue work goes on regardless. andrew harding, bbc news, kramatorsk. the time is 18:20. our top story this evening...

the government is making plans to protect customers amid reports thames water may be on the brink of collapse. the teenage skateboard sensation breaking records and aiming for the olympics. coming up on bbc news: it's australia who are capitalising on the conditions at lord's. david warner getting his half—century and making england pay for careless fielding on the first day of the second test in the ashes. the uk is no longer a world leader on climate change — that's the verdict of the the government's own climate watchdog in a highly critical report. the climate change committee describes the recent approval

of a new coal mine as �*nonsense' and says it's "markedly" less three, two, one... king charles helped turn on a climate clock at a summit in london this afternoon. it triggers 150 similar clocks across the major cities of the uk, counting down the seconds to 2030, the estimated deadline for limiting climate change to 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels. but the uk's climate watchdog had a stern warning for the government today. the climate change committee said its confidence that the government would meet its own legally binding targets for cutting emissions by the end of the decade had fallen markedly. the anger and the impatience of the world will be uncontainable. at the un climate conference in glasgow two years ago, then prime minister boris johnson vowed the uk would cut emissions by 68% on 1990 levels by 2030. the climate change committee said it just doesn't see the government showing the pace or urgency that will get us there. take flying.

the government says it wants to cut emissions from aviation but it has no plan of how to persuade us all to fly less. and it's a similar story for emissions cuts elsewhere. it said the roll—out of renewables is too slow. industry needs to do more to decarbonise and many more trees need to be planted. and then there is the question of making our homes more energy—efficient. look how the uk lags the rest of europe on heat pump installations, a low carbon electric heating system. we are that little red bar right at the bottom. where is the plan to speed things up, today's report asks. well, the sad thing is that the government, having really lead the world, has now lost that leadership because it isn't delivering. and that's the issue, it's to deliver what it has committed itself to,

nationally and internationally. the committee chairman described approval for a new coal mine in cumbria is total nonsense and slammed plans to give the go—ahead to a major new oil field off the coast of the shetland islands. the government, however, denies it is off course. we've met all our carbon budgets to date, we are confident of doing so in future, but it is extremely ambitious and the committee is right, it is its job to challenge us on areas where we need to go further and faster. and challenge it has. it says there needs to be a major increase in pace and urgency if the government is to meet its legally binding climate commitments. justin rowlatt, bbc news, london's guildhall. the conservative daniel korski, who is facing a formal complaint over an allegation of groping, has pulled out of the race to be london mayor. the tv producer daisy goodwin accused him in a newspaper column of touching her inappropriately in downing street a decade ago. mr korski says he categorically denies the allegation.

it has been a cloudy and humid day across england and wales. the cool air will be across the country into tomorrow. there has been some thundery bursts as you can see, flashes of lightning in north wales and north—west england and it will reinvigorate as it continues to push its way eastwards during this evening and overnight. behind it, skies clearing nicely and the best of the sunshine across scotland and northern ireland. few showers rattling in and the weather front will be patting up as it reaches the midlands, east anglia and the south—east and may be some thundery bursts. still quite mild in the south—east overnight but cooler and fresher further north and west. temperatures in single digits. plenty of sunshine in the west from the word go, the weather front slow to clear and there could be the odd heavy burst but into the afternoon itjoins in with the rest of the country in seeing sunny spells. just a few scattered showers around scotland and northern ireland.

temperatures are much cooler, fresher as well and
