8:30 pm
we start with cricket. england's batters have been criticised for "giving away" unneccessary wickets on day two of the second ashes test. after eventually bowling australia out for a16 before lunch, they'd made up good ground before a mini collapse left england 138 runs behind with four wickets gone. our correspondentjoe wilson was watching at lord's. first things first, let's deal with australia's first innings. the fact that steve smith was guided to get up that steve smith was guided to get up for 110, the fact that in then were really too, for 110, tells you having about smith's stature —— the fact that england were relieved to get him out. he looks the most impressive bowler. england set off chasing. ben duckett scored quickly, as did zak crawley. for australia, nathan lyon off the pitch with what looks like a serious calf injury. australia had to try something, so they pulled short, tempted england to hit the ball towards fielders, and that is what they did. some
8:31 pm
might say it is naive, england would say it is brave. they scored quickly again and have given themselves a chance to reclaim the initiative on the third day here at lord's. manchester united have agreed a deal to buy england international mason mount from chelsea. talks to try to resolve the impasse over a fee for the midfielder have been successful, with an initial £55 million agreed that could rise to 60. mount will sign a five—year deal at old trafford. ex—chelsea midfielder n'golo kante has bought a football club. the france international will become the chairman of the belgian third tier side royal excelsior virton on the same day he joins the saudi arabia pro league side al ittihad. the greatest cycle race in the world gets under way this weekend. the 110th tour de france will start in bilbao — that's spain, of course — on saturday. but the traditional grand depart always begins on the thursday night. tadej pogacar is one of two overwhelming favourites for the yellow jersey.
8:32 pm
he won it in 2020 and 2021. he'll be challenged by last year's winner, jonas vingegaard. and it'll be a farewell tour for an icon of both the race and british cycling, mark cavendish, who's hoping to become the outright record holder for the most stage wins in his final time in the race. this race gives me the most incredible emotions. unfortunately, you can't really analyse them and appreciate them until afterwards. it is the same every year, and i know it is my last one, but it is still the same. i have a job to do and... you cannot have those bits of sentiment at the time, but you definitely appreciate them later. pre—tournament favourite justin rose leads after the first round of the british masters golf.
8:33 pm
rose is a shot clear of the field on seven under par after carding eight birdies and a bogey in his round at the belfry. he'sjust ahead of his ryder cup team—mate jamie donaldson, who's hoping to finish high enough to earn a place at next month's open championship. now, they'll be trading blows in the ring on saturday night for the undisputed super middleweight world championship, but savannah marshall and franchon crews dezurn also traded insults in their pre—fight press conference in manchester. britain's marshall is bidding to become a two weight world champion. but she lost her last fight last october. the american crews dezurn accused marshall of talking too much in interviews and being complacent. afterwards, marshall spoke to kal sajad. iamjust i am just sick of these gobbi americans. i'm laid back about these things don't get at me, but... the difference is, she is lazy and she does not go out on the for opportunities.— does not go out on the for opportunities. does not go out on the for

8:35 pm
if you're the president and you faced mutiny, what you really want are public displays of adoration. "we are with you, we'll support you," she says, at this moscow event. vladimir putin liked that. and look what happened last night. putin mobbed in dagestan in the south of russia. very un—putin like, this, getting up close and personal with people. good timing, though. a few days ago, it was the wagner mercenaries being cheered, including their leader, yevgeny prigozhin, as they ended their rebellion. state tv went into overdrive about putin. "even rock stars don't get this treatment," she says. this is a turbo—charged putin we are seeing suddenly. he's here, he's there, he's everywhere trying to show he's
8:36 pm
super popular and in control. but, having survived this mutiny, russia's president faces another pressing task — trying to work out who he can trust. can he trust this senior commander? general surovikin was head of russia's invasion force in ukraine. he is thought to have been close to mr prigozhin. he hasn't been seen in public since saturday, fuelling speculation he may be under suspicion. for many here, the mutiny has added to the atmosphere of uncertainty as russia's war in ukraine grinds on. in reality, few russians are cheering about what's happening to russia. but some still have hope. when this story is finished, this way or the other way, then will be a new beginning. and it is necessary to be prepared. but would a new beginning be better or possibly worse? first, it would be worse.
8:37 pm
and then, if we survive, it would be a window of opportunity. and it would be necessary to use it. as for russia's immediate future, after the mutiny, that's unclear. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. what about ukraine's immediate future? let's look at the immediate situation on the ground there. with me is a guest who you will have seen on the programme many times over the past year and a half, andriy zagorodnyuk, former defence minister of ukraine. thank you very much forjoining us in the studio today. before we get to all those shocking events in russia, over the past couple of weeks, let's start with what is happening in ukraine. how is the counter offensive going? it is anoin. counter offensive going? it is going- we — counter offensive going? it is going. we have _ counter offensive going? it is going. we have a _ counter offensive going? it 3 going. we have a start. we are deploying the forces, we are
8:38 pm
careful. we are not rushing things forward. we have a very clear message from our commander—in—chief that we have initiative already. we have a cautious optimism about the next phase, and we believe that we have all forces to make this a success, but we are not going to do this according to some tight schedule, so to speak, and we'll take the time we need, but i'm absolutely certain it will be successful. 50 absolutely certain it will be successful.— absolutely certain it will be successful. ., successful. so there is a long road ahead? it is _ successful. so there is a long road ahead? it is some _ successful. so there is a long road ahead? it is some road _ successful. so there is a long road ahead? it is some road ahead, - successful. so there is a long road l ahead? it is some road ahead, yes. with something _ ahead? it is some road ahead, yes. with something like _ ahead? it is some road ahead, yes. with something like that, _ ahead? it is some road ahead, yes. with something like that, every - with something like that, every weakness of your enemies is a strength. when you heard about event in russia, was there some hope that there could be problems for russia there, that would then help with the war in ukraine? we there, that would then help with the war in ukraine?— war in ukraine? we certainly knew about the conflict _ war in ukraine? we certainly knew about the conflict before. - war in ukraine? we certainly knew about the conflict before. this - war in ukraine? we certainly knew about the conflict before. this hasj about the conflict before. this has not been new. we were surprised with the level of the conflict, the intensity of the conflict. we did not understand what was prigozhin�*s and game because he did not have the forces to change the regime, but clearly the publicpublic disloyalty
8:39 pm
has been a shock in russia and ukraine as well. we did not base our shared use in hopes. hopes cannot be part of your strategy. we are building our strategy in order to win. clearly the fact that one russian, was fighting as the other mission, no is something which was not gonna make them stronger —— one russian committal is fighting against another russian criminal. but we also happens to them later, because they are seen as a competitor to putin, a threat to putin, and at the same time, they had a very distinct of doctrine, a very distinctive way of fighting the war, so most likely, they will be trying to absorb it into the regular armed forces, which is not going to make them stronger as well. [30 armed forces, which is not going to make them stronger as well. do you exect to make them stronger as well. do you exaect to see _ make them stronger as well. do you expect to see wagner _ make them stronger as well. do you expect to see wagner back - expect to see wagner back fighting in ukraine, on the front line? even today we are hearing reports that wagner is continuing to recruit soldiers, even after this episode, this mutiny. the

8:41 pm

8:43 pm
the legal right to live in britain. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page reports. she came on the ship or boat, as it was. and there were other mothers on there. i was wrapped in a blue blanket. she must have loved me so much. maria cahill is recounting a journey which happened in 195a. she'd been born in london, a british citizen. her mother, philomena, was irish and wasn't married. this was their destination — an institution for unmarried women and girls in castlepollard in county westmeath. i should never have been in ireland — that's my take on that — because i was born in london. the mother and baby homes, as they were known, were seen as places of punishment. maria was eventually adopted. later, mother and daughter looked for each other. after philomena died,
8:44 pm
maria discovered they'd both lived in edinburgh at the same time. repatriations were organised by british and irish state agencies and religious charities until the 19705. research, so far, has revealed around 3,000 cases, but campaigners believe the real figure is higher. archives indicate welfare officials in britain regarded unmarried irish mothers as a burden on resources. the cost was something that theyjust kept coming back to, and this was part of the reason for the repatriation scheme. it was supposed to be an optional scheme for the woman. all of the women that i spoke to, they all said they did not know that. they felt like it was completely forced, that they did not have a choice. maria's daughter says the state authorities, such as councils and church organisations, should apologise. an acknowledgement that
8:45 pm
that happened and an apology for it would be enormously welcome. but as long as it stays silenced and under the carpet, you know, it's as if all of that happened and she's gone through all of this and we've struggled with all of this for no acknowledgement and no reason. the irish government said it recognised the deep hurt of many survivors who were repatriated and that comprehensive birth information services were now in place. several organisations in the uk who researchers have linked to repatriations didn't respond to a request for comments. maria has spent decades investigating the mystery of her own early life. my advice to women who have gone through this and are going through it is to keep strong. there's always a paper trail. it might have taken me a0 years, but, eventually, the bits and pieces were coming together. she hopes a bigger picture will become clear —
8:46 pm
the full truth about the lonely westward journeys across the irish sea. chris page, bbc news. well, i'm joined now by maria's daughter fiona cahill, who we heard from briefly in that piece. thanks so much for talking to us. you said in that piece we just watch that you don't want this to be swept under the carpet, you think that your mother's experience, what she went through, should be heard. just tell us if you can, reflect on your mother's experience. what did she go through? she mother's experience. what did she go throu~h? ,, , ' ., , ., ., through? she suffered a deep trauma, reall , through? she suffered a deep trauma, really. through — through? she suffered a deep trauma, really. through it _ through? she suffered a deep trauma, really, through it her _ through? she suffered a deep trauma, really, through it her whole _ through? she suffered a deep trauma, really, through it her whole life. - really, through it her whole life. she has felt this yearning for her mum. heradoption she has felt this yearning for her mum. her adoption was not a happy one, heradopted mum mum. her adoption was not a happy one, her adopted mum was abusive, so this has added very much to it, and the poem that she read their kind of expresses her feelings of and we have dealt with the upset and just

8:48 pm
did not, they kept people apart as a matter of course. the agency that organise my mum's adoption also was the man that was the registrar of the man that was the registrar of the adoption authority and was also on the board of directors and disassociation, and he went to the press in the 90s to say that they just shut up shop and throw away the key and thought they were doing the right thing then. they since realised they were not, but the irish legislation still did not allow for people to access any records or any information. indeed, it is only this year that people can access their birth certificates under irish law.— access their birth certificates under irish law. really difficult to find out the _ under irish law. really difficult to find out the truth _ under irish law. really difficult to find out the truth is, _ under irish law. really difficult to find out the truth is, but - under irish law. really difficult to find out the truth is, but now- under irish law. really difficult to| find out the truth is, but now that you have, at least bits of it, what would you like from the authorities, what would an apology for distance mean to you and your mother? it would mean so much. i mean, we just would mean so much. i mean, wejust learned some sad news last week that my mum has a very aggressive brain

cancer that cannot be treated, so she has not got very long, and she has found some comfort to this kind of platform and being able to listen to be listens to like this, have her voice heard, but the apology is something she specifically asked for, so that is so incredible important to us, especially right now. ., ., ., , y important to us, especially right now. ., ., ., , , ., now. fiona, i really too sorry to hear about _ now. fiona, i really too sorry to hear about your _ now. fiona, i really too sorry to hear about your mum's - now. fiona, i really too sorry to i hear about your mum's diagnosis. this really does bring an urgency to the situation, doesn't it? thank you so much for speaking to us, fiona cahill. thank you. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. nights out are supposed to be fun, but that's not always the experience of women and other vulnerable groups. in colchester, money from the home office safer streets fund has been used to try and make the night—time economy safer. businesses have been offering training for bar and security staff,
8:50 pm
to look out for those needing help. the county's police and crime commissioner hopes the new £4 million fund will mean other areas can now benefit. karen helped create chelmsford's women's safety charter. her research shows women — more than men — feel unsafe in public areas. we still need to focus on hardware, things like cctv and lighting, because people do report that those things make them feel safer. but i think we also need to really focus on prevention. the aim is notjust to reduce crime but to make sure women and other vulnerable groups feel safer. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. this is the context. if you have been planning a getaway, this might been planning a getaway, this might be concerning.

the costs of all—inclusive package holidays have soared for popular destinations in spain and greece according to the latest consumer data. the average price of a week with everything included in majorca in spain is up 21% on last year. prices for tenerife have risen more than 22%, the figures suggest, and crete in greece is 25% more expensive than last year. to discuss this further, i am joined by the chief executive of ice travel group, who put this data together, richard singer. richard, thanks forjoining us. first of all, why are prices going up first of all, why are prices going up like this?— first of all, why are prices going up like this? there are two clear reasons. up like this? there are two clear reasons- the — up like this? there are two clear reasons. the first _ up like this? there are two clear reasons. the first one _ up like this? there are two clear reasons. the first one is - up like this? there are two clear reasons. the first one is this - up like this? there are two clear reasons. the first one is this is l reasons. the first one is this is probably the first time they are following three years of travel restrictions through covid that people of been able to travel again. think about the quarantine hotels, the expense of pcr tests, even last year of winter chickens were still on at the early part, and gradually people sorted travelling last year, but this year has been the first to
8:52 pm
normalise —— winter... we can see some of our travel partners we work with sending more people on holiday then they have done even before 2020, so that demand has created an increased cost, and it is notjust britt's who want to go to that lovely hotel in majorca, give everyone in europe you can travel and ever and from south america and north america, —— you have everyone from europe wanting to travel. secondly, it is more expensive to fly a plane now, run a hotel now, plumbing costs have gone up, so all of those factors are quite relevant —— employment costs. i would also add, last year, to encourage people back into travelling again, you do have that... shill back into travelling again, you do have that- - -_ back into travelling again, you do have that... �* , , ., have that... all the pent up demand, lus have that... all the pent up demand, [us the have that... all the pent up demand, plus the inflation, _ have that... all the pent up demand, plus the inflation, but _ have that... all the pent up demand, plus the inflation, but is _ have that... all the pent up demand, plus the inflation, but is this - plus the inflation, but is this across the board? 0r

8:56 pm
before this, there'd only been seven millimetres falling. it has been very dry for parts of eastern england. 0vernight tonight, well, initially we've got clear spells and a fresh feel to the weather, so not a bad start to the night, but it will be turning progressively damper and more humid from the west as we go through the second part of the night. so eventually, it'll start to turn out to be quite muggy. along with that more humid air that will be pushing in as we go through friday, we will have some low cloud, some mist and fog patches around some of our western coasts and hills, and spots of drizzle falling pretty much anywhere, but particularly so in the west. a bit of heavy rain for a time into western areas of scotland. so completely different day today, sunshine certainly in short supply and a muggy feel to the weather. temperatures for the most part between 18—21 celsius. the weekend weather prospects — we start to lose that muggy air as a cold front works its way in through the night. and then, saturday and sunday, we're in this basically west—northwesterly airflow. so a fresher feel to the weather returns as we go through saturday morning.
8:57 pm
there will be quite a brisk wind with us throughout the whole of the weekend, and close to an area of low pressure to the north of scotland. here, we'll see showers or some longer spells of rain across the northwest. a few showers getting into the north west of england and northern ireland, but moving through with time, there'll be some sunshine — the driest and brightest weather through the afternoon across more southern parts of england and wales. it'll still feel quite warm where the sunshine pops out. and it's a similar story, really, on sunday — again, there'll be some longer spells of rain across the north west of scotland, else a few showers across the northern half of the uk. the driest, sunniest weather further south. still quite windy, temperatures for the most part between 17—23 celsius, but turning a bit cooler in the northwest of scotland. into next week, low pressure stays close to the north of the uk. so it's a case of quite unsettled weather with showers, or some longer spells of rain in the north.
8:58 pm
8:59 pm
hello, i'm nancy kacungira. you're watching the context on bbc news. there is a real risk that persons sent to rwanda will be returned to their home countries, where they faced persecution or other inhumane treatment, when in fact they have a good claim for asylum. in that sense, rwanda is not a safe third country. the government needs to seriously reconsider its policy. the court has said, look, it's not safe to send asylum—seekers to rwanda. you need to make sure it is safe before you try to send anyone there.

whilst of course we are disappointed with the decision today, _
