illegally in shops around the uk. trying to attack establish what happened in the cripple in or on the battlefield is enormously challenging. ukrainian authorities are naturally reluctant to give many details. any glimpse of what is happening on the front line is incredibly illuminated. i want to turn to an account that caught my eye this week. he filmed him carrying his men in a drone in the trenches. have a look. element 0k, through the battlefield now. going up through the battlefield now. going up to the front of the line of contact. the up to the front of the line of

the trance, and then use all run through the trench while shells were falling around us. i did that once. these guys did it almost every day. i think it's really important people see understand these soldiers are going through every single day. tell me more again about the commander in the unit, because they have done some of the heaviest fighting. the? some of the heaviest fighting. they really have- — some of the heaviest fighting. they really have. so, _ some of the heaviest fighting. they really have. so, the _ some of the heaviest fighting. they really have. so, the man _ some of the heaviest fighting. tue: really have. so, the man in some of the heaviest fighting. tte: really have. so, the man in the videos is my friend. he is in a battalion that is fighting on the eastern front. i first got to know these guys last year, so they really have been in the heaviest fighting throughout the last year and a half. they've moved along the front. what is interesting about what they're doing is in many ways, indicative of the way that war in ukraine has evolved. that basically revolves around drones. that box he's carrying is under a drone, because

especially for the ukrainians, you have limited supplies of ammunition. they are tight on the resources, but again, i must emphasise, i did it once and they did every single day. i want to play another quit before i asked the next question. just have a look at this. —— another clip. tt’s look at this. -- another clip. it's actually a _ look at this. -- another clip. it's actually a very — look at this. —— another clip. tt�*s actually a very beautiful day. explosion.— actually a very beautiful day. explosion. , , �* �* explosion. did you hear that one. that was a explosion. mo you hear that one. that was a huge — explosion. on) you hear that one. that was a huge one. _ explosion. mo you hear that one. that was a huge one. run, - explosion. did you hear that one. that was a huge one. run, run, i explosion. did you hear that one. i that was a huge one. run, run, run. that is happening _ that was a huge one. run, run, run. that is happening all— that was a huge one. run, run, run. that is happening all around _ that was a huge one. run, run, run. that is happening all around you. - that is happening all around you. that forest that you that is happening all around you. that forest tha— that is happening all around you. that forest that you were feeling it is called the _ that forest that you were feeling it is called the forest _ that forest that you were feeling it is called the forest of _ that forest that you were feeling it is called the forest of surprises. i is called the forest of surprises. apart from the obvious, how dangerous was that? t apart from the obvious, how dangerous was that? i mean, yeah,

drone overhead, it will calculate and call in the artillery strikes. he can't drive in an or orderly manner. there are multiple threats. what did the men say about weapons they are receiving, supplies from they are receiving, supplies from the west? because we know, weeks and months of frustration. did you get a sense of the same frustration on the ground amid the fighting? tote sense of the same frustration on the ground amid the fighting?— sense of the same frustration on the ground amid the fighting? we have to be clear, ground amid the fighting? we have to be clear. every _ ground amid the fighting? we have to be clear, every single _ ground amid the fighting? we have to be clear, every single ukrainian - be clear, every single ukrainian unit i speak to say we are very gratefulfor unit i speak to say we are very grateful for western weapons, especially britain. it's actually quite rare for me. they use to shy shout iraq at me, i now they'll thank you. it's quite nice. i remember the commander saying to me, "if you've given me in may what we got in september, we could have

finished this injune." but the point remains. there's also internal stop. this is a classic problem you always here. we know what the situation is, the people in the capital, whatever, don't know. there is some sort of disgruntlement that they believe they are not getting they believe they are not getting the best weapons they should. they're going to measurements that are less battle hardened. but they remain very grateful and they cannot continue without the weapons of. briefly, what about casualties, injuries, deaths that are happening day by day? injuries, deaths that are happening da b da ? ., injuries, deaths that are happening day by day?— day by day? look, that regiment, battalion, rather, _ day by day? look, that regiment, battalion, rather, are _ day by day? look, that regiment, battalion, rather, are fairly - day by day? look, that regiment, battalion, rather, are fairly highly| battalion, rather, are fairly highly trained. but they lost 17 in the last few months. there's an issue in ukraine because as the war goes on, more and more conscripts are called

out. these guys are all volunteers, which means they can be great soldiers as well, but they were the most motivated, most of them had spent time in the army before. so there is an issue with new people coming in. there's a lot of people injured and dying now. you go to lviv and you see a lot of injured soldiers everywhere. they are tired, but they have no choice. in soldiers everywhere. they are tired, but they have no choice.— but they have no choice. in your article, but they have no choice. in your article. you _ but they have no choice. in your article, you wrote _ but they have no choice. in your article, you wrote 90% - but they have no choice. in your article, you wrote 90% of- but they have no choice. in your article, you wrote 9096 of the i but they have no choice. in your. article, you wrote 9096 of the unit article, you wrote 90% of the unit had been injured once, 70% twice, 50% three times. that gives you a real sense of what is happening day today. —— day to day. what line net, i i was an apology to you. it was about the litter that was left lying around and that struck me as a little glimpse of normal life that has suddenly reentered all of this madness. ., �* , ., has suddenly reentered all of this madness. ., �*, ., ., madness. yeah, it's a sort of left over remnant _ madness. yeah, it's a sort of left over remnant before _ madness. yeah, it's a sort of left over remnant before the - madness. yeah, it's a sort of left over remnant before the world i madness. yeah, it's a sort of left i over remnant before the world went mad. so, there was a load of litter

suffering bleeding around his brain. the dutch club have made that announcement. ajax said that edwin van der sar had a bleed around the brain. he's currently in the hospital and is in stable condition. the 52—year—old is on the trimmer league four times at united as well as the champions league back in 2008, which he also lifted whilst he was at ajax. that news coming in from the club, saying that he is in hospital, news that he suffered this cerebral haemorrhage while he was away in croatia. he is back at the home club of ajax, but he resigned after 11 years on the club's board backin after 11 years on the club's board back in may. that news coming into us about edwin van der sar. if there is more, we'll obviously return to

it. there's been disruption at schools across england today as teachers from the national education union staged their second strike this week. they're calling for an improved pay offer from the government. ministers say teachers have received a reasonable offer and that any deal has to be "fair to the tax payer", "fair to the taxpayer", as well as to teachers. our education reporter vanessa clarke has more details. making their voices heard. across england, teachers have joined the picket lines for the second time this week. they are calling for a pay rise that's above inflation and doesn't come out of school budgets. we see that vacancies are going unfilled. we see our really good colleagues leaving the profession in their thousands. schools are systematically underfunded and we now have a point where we can't afford to teach any more. we know the reality on the ground. the government always says we've

given the school is the most - funding they've ever had, i they've had 2 billion extras. that doesn't transfer to what's happening in schools. - the government says strikes are causing more disruption for parents and children at the end of the year and schools are receiving an extra £2 billion over the next two years. an independent pay review body has advised the government on what the pay rise should be. unions want it published now, but the government says it will be published in the usual way, normally the end ofjuly. an unconfirmed source has said it will recommend 6.5%, something the union would consider. i think members would accept 6.5% with one major addition, which is that it would have to be funded. schools don't have the money to pay teachers 6.5% now, so we calculate there would need to be a 3% extra on average funding for schools in order to do that. i think the government has a very difficult choice. it may take the recommendations of the pay review body,

but it has a very difficult choice because as i said, we've got to spend billions of pounds helping people with the cost of living, getting their energy bills down. parents near reading have been balancing work and childcare today. i am very supportive of the strikes. everybody seems to think it's just that they need to pay, but it's not, it's teaching conditions, making sure they have resources. i don't see a solution at the end. i totally understand teachers i who want to speak up and say, "we're not paid well enough." the strikes this week are by members of one union, but three other unions are currently balloting members on action. any strikes in the autumn term would be coordinated, meaning more school closures and more picket lines.

let's talk climate change — and the battle to cut emissions. if there's been progress on fossil fuels, on the aviation industry — on renewables — one sector, shipping, has seen very little movement. 90% of international trade is shippedby sea via huge container ships — that accounts — for up to 3% of global carbon emissions. greenpeace has said — pollution from shipping isn't the elephant in the room, it's the whale in the bathtub. and so delegates from 175 countries at the international maritime organisation have thrashed out a deal — to make the shipping industry net zero by or around 2050. but it's only a minimum 20% reduction — by 2030. environmental campaigners say the agreement is far short of what is needed to be sure of keeping global heating below 1.5 degrees c. fieeeg ubbasov, a shipping programme director at the transport and environment campaign group, explained the significance of the agreement. i think it's a significant moment to the extent that this organisation, the international maritime organization, that's responsible for regulating international shipping, has been to expend procrastinating for three decades. and if we judge the success by that measure, it's a significant progress.

today, when they adopted by acclimation the new strategy to decarbonise international shipping, there was a bit of a sense in the room that it's a new plan, but it's not the plan that we needed to decarbonise the sector in line with the 1.5 degrees temperature goal of the paris agreement. how much resistance was there in the build—up to this agreement? there were basically two sides, two camps. on the one hand, we had the most climate vulnerable countries, like marshall islands, solomon islands, fiji, tuvalu and many others, but also most developed countries, like the united kingdom, united states, new zealand, canada and some european countries pushing for high ambition. and on the other side, we had latin american countries, china, russia, saudi arabia, india and many others who were resisting very strongly. and that tension was there throughout the two weeks

that we have been here negotiating. until the last moment, we were not very sure what we're going to get, if we're going to get anything. and it is good that there is this final deal, but it's very clear that this deal is not the right response for the climate urgency that we are facing. there's no carbon levy. there appear to be no particular sanctions. there are these indicative checkpoints. by the year 2030, they're supposed to have cut emissions by 20%. in terms of those criticisms we've heard from environmental campaigners, do you think they are valid? absolutely, because two major issues were on the table — setting the new targets and discussing the measures, regulatory tools, how to implement them. in terms of targets, three key dates are important — 2030 target, 2040 target, 2050 target. obviously, media and the outside world has vocalised on the 2050 target.

but from the environmental perspective, from the science perspective, that's too little, too late. climate change requires us to reduce emissions now in this decade, and that's why 2030 target was so important. really, two or three sentences, if you could. how do they actually cut emissions, whatever the timeline? how do they actually do it? there are three checkpoints, indicative checkpoints, that are on the table to achieve 20% emission reduction by 2030, 70% by 2040 and reaching net zero by 2050. these reduction targets are too slow, but, in general, to achieve those targets, the shipping industry will need at least three things. first, it needs to improve its operational efficiency, and the best way of doing it — slowing ships down. number two, we can use a lot of the wind out there, and the shipping industry is well suited to use sail technology. and number three, we need to shift the shipping industry towards cleaner fuels. green hydrogen and green hydrogen—based synthetic fuels are the ones that

have the biggest promise. before we move on, let's check in at wimbledon. andy murray, that match with stefan no tsitsipas has gone into the fifth set. the fifth seed also, his last match was at the 5—0, but it's about winning the tie—break in the four sets. it has now gone into five sets. andy murray having a remarkable run. in terms of his hip, he is still back and doing rather well. it is down to the fifth set. hospitals are looking at ways to ease the number of people going into a&e

who don't need to be there. one scheme that's been trialled in london has managed to do just that — by letting paramedics on the scene of a call—out speak directly to hospital doctors and nurses. it's thought more than 10,000 patients have been treated away from a&e who otherwise would have gone to hospital. our health editor hugh pym has more details. we're going to go with mummy. it's eight in the morning. we're going on to our ambulance. we're going on to our ambulance, ok, darling? four—year—old elizabeth is finding it hard to breathe. hello, elizabeth. i'm just like, you know, i've got a car on route seven. we're going. it's patients like this who need to be seen urgently. we're going to go to the hospital. we're going to see the nice doctors. is that 0k? yeah. in some local hospitals, they're already way over capacity. came on. it was full apartments, full recess. becky's being briefed by carolyn in a&e at the royal london. the problem is now we're getting i down to things people need to eat. people need to be washed. - people need to be looked after. they would be on a ward. - and this is not set up like that.

how long is the longest wait? people are being over 24 hours. there's pressure like this, day in, day out. we're in black status, which is the worst status from the patients that are in the a&e department. we have 40 that are on placed. at the same time, elizabeth is being seen in another hospital. they were blue—lighted in. so you've got a four—year—old that has been taken in. elizabeth was assessed and given the all clear to go home. the relentless pressure has led staff at the royal london to come up with a plan to try to ensure local hospitals only see the really sick. it's not about stopping patients that need to come into a&e, butjust helping the ones that don't necessarily need to be in a hospital access care elsewhere. i mean, looking at the notes and from what you've told me, i don't really see what we would need to do for this lady in hospital a team of senior staff are in direct contact with ambulance crews to give advice, order

medicines and organise treatment. this means ambulances can get back out on the road quicker. generally, ourfallback is if we don't understand the patient's problem well enough, then we need to speak to a professional. and if we still don't feel safe and we don't know what's going on, generally they'll go to hospital in a safe place. but if we can speak to a consultant who might be able to then speak to a specialist, we'll get the right advice. it's nearly ten o'clock. the crew has been called to an accident. suck it like a milkshake. tom's car was stationary when he was hit twice by another driver. to came, — no intrusion, no airbags deployed. the paramedics make contact with the medical team back at the hospital. the crew are on scene with a chap who's been rear rear—ended by another car. they can obviously bring him in if you've got any red flags that pop up. alex hands over to another doctor to speak to the patient. oh, there's your doctor.

together, they can decide what to do. so they've had a good examination of your back. but i think that if we give you some medication for the pain, we can hopefullyjust keep you at home. but staff are still seeing delays. but the project is now being extended and looked at by other hospital trusts. we're struggling to spend as much time with our patients as we need to and deliver the care they deserve. so something needs to change. that's what we're trying to instigate in our local area to to make sure we can have something sustainable for the future. we're going to go up to the ward now, not home just yet. there's pressure and an ageing population with more health needs. they know things can't carry on as they are now. the royal london scheme with london ambulance is at least making a start. hugh pym, bbc news. a quick update on the story brought you earlier. police in las vegas say there will be no starches after an alleged incident involving britney spears. —— no charges. she said she

was backhanded by a security guard protecting a french basketball player, describing it as dramatic. police say they have concluded the investigation and no charges will be filed against the person involved. a bbc investigation has found muscle building supplements which can cause liver problems, mood swings and erectile disfunction being sold across the uk. the products have become popular with gymgoers aiming to build bigger muscles and lose fat. but they are not approved for sale. kashjones has the story. i'v e —— i've been speaking to. i spoke to dan watson — a body—builder and fitness coach. he told me how he first became aware of the issue. the reason that i became aware of the sort of endemic that's going on with use, especially in teenagers, is through social media. i've had a massive influx of messages from young kids talking about sam's. i've got some messages up on my phone where i can say here that i got somebody said,

i'm 17 years old. been lifting for around two years. i was wondering if it's safe for me to take sam's. and a lot of people have come to me and asked, "can i take sam's?" or they're already taking sam's and asking about the dangers of it. i think it's because it's proliferated in social media and with the unrealistic body type expectations. body type expectations, people are looking for kind of a quicker weighted achieve —— quicker way to achieve the goals they want. and did it surprise you the fact that so many people actually even contacting you were were considering taking this stuff? yeah, definitely. i think, as somebody that knows the existing dangers of them, to me, it was a surprise that so many people were eager to take them. but i think there's a lot of misinformation out there, and they're sort of labelled as a safe steroid alternative when that's actually not true. so, people going into taking them and taking it quite lightly when actually it's a very big decision and quite a harmful substance. and what do you say to people

when they ask you about dangers? well, i list all of the realistic dangers of, you know, potentially permanently stopping your testosterone production, impacting yourfertility liver toxicity, kidney toxicity, impacting lipid profiles. you know, there is a long list of potential side effects that you could incurfrom using samples. so, all you have to do is be honest, really, and quite often, that is enough to shy people away from taking them. but unfortunately, a lot of people on social media label them as safe, ao not everybody is aware of those side effects. so not everybody is aware of those side effects. we'll be live on the custard musician stories —— munition. i'll see you next time. bye—bye. hello there.

we had quite a mixed weather picture for friday, certainly for scotland and northern ireland. we started the day with rather grey and cloudy skies, like these. and the rain that we had that started on thursday lasted into the first part of friday morning, bringing about a third of a month's worth of rain in places, so it was really quite a wet spell of weather. even as that cleared, there were just one or two showers that followed through through the afternoon. but, generally, the weather at least did turn brighter. further south across england, wales, different story — lots of sunshine, both morning and afternoon, and blue sunny skies like these in eastbourne were really commonplace. like these in eastbourne it was also a hot day across parts of eastern england. that's where we had the highest temperatures, with highs hitting the 30—degree mark in london's st james's park, but 28 there for hull and for cambridge as well. overnight tonight, we'll keep those dry weather conditions going for the vast majority of the uk. it's a night where, well, it's going to be quite warm, really, with temperatures for northern ireland, england and wales, about 18—20 degrees for our towns and cities. a bit fresher and more

comfortable in scotland. tomorrow, well, it should be a fine and sunny start to the day, but showers get going quickly for northern ireland, wales and western england. they'll turn thundery through the morning, and then, into the afternoon, those storms start to leap northwards into northern england and scotland as well, with some really torrential downpours possible. 50 millimetres of rain in the space ofjust a few hours. and that could bring some communities flash flooding, but there'll be others at the same time, they completely dodge the rain and stay dry, with sunny weather all day. now, the highest temperature is probably again across eastern england, upper 20s here, england, upper 20s here, but 27 or so for northern scotland, but 27 or so for northern scotland, where it's going to be a warmer day where it's going to be a warmer day overall compared with friday. overall compared with friday. at the wimbledon tennis championships, yes, you might well see a rain delay. there could be some showers around, but they could turn up just about any time. now, saturday, night—time

thunderstorms work across northern england and scotland. lots of thunder and lightning in these still with some hefty downpours, and those storms still around for the first part of sunday clearing northwards out of the way. we might also see some storms come up from france to clipper eastern england. otherwise, a dry and sunny morning with showers developing from the south and west into the afternoon with a few thunderstorms around. overall, temperatures a little bit lower, generally low—to—mid 20s, and a fresher feel to the weather as well. to send controversial cluster

live from london. this is bbc news the us is expected to announce plans
