— and some disagreement — in nato. when it comes to cluster ammunition, there's a difference between allies. more temperature records have been broken across the globe this week — we take a close look. and the shipping industry agrees a new deal to slash carbon emissions — but environmental groups say it do. hello, a warm welcome to the daily global where we bring the top stories around the world. welcome — we begin with

the war in ukraine — and differences emerging between nato allies over whether controversial cluster munitions should be sent to kyiv. an announcement by washington on a new package of weapons — including cluster munitions — is expected in the coming hours. kyiv has been pressing for the weapons for its counteroffensive. but cluster bombs are banned by many countries around the world because of the danger they pose to civilians — sometimes years after a conflict ends. germany has voiced opposition to such a move and humanitarian organisations have urged both russia and ukraine to avoid cluster munitions completely. let's hear from jens stoltenberg. it is for individual allies to make decisions on what type of weapons. all allies agree on the delivery of weapons and ammunition to ukraine and allies are delivering an unprecedented level of weapons to support ukraine. germany and many other allies are delivering different types of ammunition, weapons to ukraine.

but when it comes to cluster ammunition, there is a difference between allies because some allies have signed the convention on cluster munitions and they don't have cluster munitions so of course there is no cluster munitions to provide to ukraine. other allies have not signed the convention and many of them or some of them have cluster munitions. straight to washington — and our correspondent nomia iqbal. what are we expecting to hear from the white house? or do to give an announcement shortly. it’s the white house? or do to give an announcement shortly. it's expected that they will — announcement shortly. it's expected that they will announce _ announcement shortly. it's expected that they will announce they - announcement shortly. it's expected that they will announce they are - that they will announce they are exporting these controversial cluster munitions to ukraine. a reminder of why they are so controversial, these can be airdropped or grounded launched, ukrainians are likely to not sin from the ground because they have the artillery provided by the

americans to do that. once they are in the air, they break open and release lots of bonnets, which are effective against troops in large areas. we are talking about the size of several football fields, some of the bomblets are duds which mean they don't work and they are small and remain on the ground and get embedded, which means that civilians, as you mentioned before, years from now, can walk into them and they be detonated inflicting harms our debt. this is why over hundred and 20 countries, including its members and human rights groups are against them. it will be interesting, you already have germany coming out saying they are against them and send it could be concerning to president biden and we are seeing some cracks in the coalition he has built to support ukraine against the invasion. sort. ukraine against the invasion. sort, there are differing _ ukraine against the invasion. sort, there are differing opinions as to whether these munitions should actually be sent to ukraine. so why do you think president biden is

doing this and why now? ukraine has been asking — doing this and why now? ukraine has been asking for _ doing this and why now? ukraine has been asking for these _ doing this and why now? ukraine has been asking for these munitions - doing this and why now? ukraine has been asking for these munitions for i been asking for these munitions for about a year and the fact is that in america, amongst congress, there isn't a huge amount of division over this. generally speaking, you have lawmakers who do still back president biden and his support of ukraine, including republicans, a rare moment of bipartisanship, what is interesting when it comes to congressional republicans, they have been pushing biden to send these munitions to ukraine to help them in, what they have said, compensate for russia's, what it is scribe, quantitative advantage in personnel and artillery rounds. some senior democratic party members are quite warm to the idea of munitions going over, of course you have regresses in the party and lots of peace groups who don't want it to happen. generally speaking there is support for president biden to do this. of

course, we will find out more when the pentagon, as we expect them to, i noticed that these munitions are going over this afternoon. you touch on this earlier, _ going over this afternoon. you touch on this earlier, but _ going over this afternoon. you touch on this earlier, but i _ going over this afternoon. you touch on this earlier, but i was _ going over this afternoon. you touch on this earlier, but i was reading - on this earlier, but i was reading here it says us law prohibits the transfer of cluster munitions with a bomb that failure rates higher than i%, yet president biden is still going to be sending cluster munitions, so explain how that figures into this. it’s figures into this. it's contradictory, - figures into this. it's contradictory, isn't i figures into this. it's l contradictory, isn't it? figures into this. it�*s contradictory, isn't it? the us, the last time they use these weapons, was during the iraq war in 2003-2006, and a was during the iraq war in 2003—2006, and a phase them out in 2016 because of the concerns we mentioned before to civilians, noncombatants. they have these hold supply of them on the shelf that are ready to go out and essentially what has happened is that congress is restricted the export of these munitions but if it's under, as you

mentioned, underi%, president biden can bypass that. the problem is that we don't exactly know what the failure rate is. previously, it was thought to be 20% and then it was less i know we've been told the failure rate or dead rates is less than 2% but we haven't seen evidence of that. so i'm speculating that perhaps when we do get more information, we get this confirmation later on in this press conference, that we will get more detailed as to why the us it is confident these munitions can be transferred. confident these munitions can be transferred-— transferred. nomia iqbal in washington. _ let's talk to professor yanina dill — an expert in us foreign policy at oxford university. thank you forjoining us, you have probably been listening to what nomia iqbal was seenjust probably been listening to what nomia iqbal was seen just then, more than 100 countries banned the use of these munitions, what is your assessment of what you think the us

has decided, as is widely reported, that they will be sending them to ukraine? 50 that they will be sending them to ukraine? ' _, , ukraine? so in different countries that sunport _ ukraine? so in different countries that support ukraine _ ukraine? so in different countries that support ukraine materially i ukraine? so in different countries i that support ukraine materially and puts electrically, face different pressures at home against doing that. the united states, unlike some european countries, which face more pressures from peace groups, i think the united states face more pressure regarding the cost of providing support to ukraine. it's not easy to argue against that pressure that we need to support ukraine if there's good news militarily, and you can show that support does the trick. i think the decision to send these controversial weapons indicates a certain amount of worry about the cons by ukraine somewhat being behind expectations, not a lot of military against a report. so, it's harder to sustain the support for ukraine against domestic pressures. how useful it might these be in that conflict? we

how useful it might these be in that conflict? ~ ., ., , ., conflict? we have heard reports that russia has been _ conflict? we have heard reports that russia has been using _ conflict? we have heard reports that russia has been using these - conflict? we have heard reports that russia has been using these types i conflict? we have heard reports that| russia has been using these types of munitions and even some saint ukraine has been using them? hoar ukraine has been using them? how much of a danger _ ukraine has been using them? how much of a danger game changer could they be question mark i know there's a consolation on the part of ukraine. . a consolation on the part of ukraine-— a consolation on the part of ukraine. ., ., , ., , ukraine. that having these weapons aives them ukraine. that having these weapons gives them a — ukraine. that having these weapons gives them a military _ ukraine. that having these weapons gives them a military advantage. . ukraine. that having these weapons gives them a military advantage. i l gives them a military advantage. i imagine it's on it advantage in the somewhat stuck front where there any chances. even though there is a military advantage of this, although also serious costs to using these weapons. one already mentioned, even if you use them in the air with no civilians present, did leave unexploded ordinance which may give us a sometime down the line. it's like a landmine in some sense, which is why they are interested in the illegal in some countries. that is one serious cost because this mars

ukrainians territory and endangers its own civilian. the other thing is that because some countries that support ukraine like united and united kingdom and germany, it could undermine the support from these countries, particularly in germany. the pressure on the government has always been from forces that draw false moral equivalence between ukraine and russia, these actors in society, the argue meant that renewed attention for ukraine to use these munitions as part of its strategy, provides ammunition to put pressure on the government. i imagine ukraine's leadership has thought about whether the benefits could outweigh them. i was reading here that some _ could outweigh them. i was reading here that some human _ could outweigh them. i was reading here that some human rights - could outweigh them. i was reading | here that some human rights groups say that these bomblets can kill many people years later. you mentioned germany there, do you think there are cracks in the way that some of the western nations are

supporting ukraine's counteroffensive to mark i think we would have to see how this plays out? at would have to see how this plays out? �* , ,., would have to see how this plays out? �* , ., out? at there is some indication the german government _ out? at there is some indication the german government is _ out? at there is some indication the german government is disturbed - out? at there is some indication the german government is disturbed by| german government is disturbed by this. one thing we know from his history, states have just cause late in ukraine, they start off, as work goes on, these countries face the difficult decision of potentially compromising their principles for the purpose of fighting for the principles. to stand a fighting chance. these initial standards come under pressure. ukraine has done a good job of maintaining the legal high ground, moral high ground, and support that they do, but as it conflict drags on with military conflicts and stalemates, there are pressures on these standards. professor yanina dill from oxford university, thank you forjoining

us. injust over one hour we university, thank you forjoining us. in just over one hour we are expecting an announcement from the white house which is reported to be on this issue of cluster munitions. meanwhile, ukraine's counter offensive continues. currently, fighting is ongoing in the eastern donetsk and south—eastern zaporizhzhia regions. ukraine says its forces have continued their advances around the city of bakhmut — and have retaken nine settlements and 160 square kilometres of territory, since the start of the counter—offensive on fourjune. our correspondent andrew harding sent this report from the front line. explosion. ukrainian troops barely flinch as another russian shell hits the front lines close to bakhmut. for a month now, the counteroffensive has raged here. davai, davai! "come on, come on," the commander urges his men forwards. and they are making progress, but its slow work. too slow for some.

i step on the russian mine. this soldier lost his foot to a mine a while back and has now recovered and is fighting again. but he's worried. yes, we need help. we need more artillery systems. we need more, more, more weapons. and without that? without that i think probably, we have. we will lose this gain. you're going to lose? yes. the counteroffensive is certainly proving costly for ukraine. another casualty arrives at a field hospital on the southern front. oleh is just 19 years old. he was wounded in the back this morning by shrapnel from a mortar. despite the rising ukrainian casualty rate, despite scenes like this, it is important to remember that ukraine's counteroffensive is still in its very early stages. it's not appropriate yet to judge whether it's been a failure or a success.

drone footage of russian forces near the southern city of kherson. ukraine has launched a surprise attack here, forcing these troops to retreat, probing russia's defences, as you might in a long game of chess. because this is a slow process, notjust on the front lines. here, a huge russian ammunition store near donetsk is targeted. it's part of ukraine's plan to weaken the enemy before the counteroffensive moves up another gear. "everyone is waiting for that," says army doctor yevgen. "we wait and we believe that everything will be fine. "we just need to be patient." but that patience comes at a high price.

19—year—old oleh is taken away in a british ambulance, funded by private donors. he's stable, but his spine is damaged. he may never walk again. andrew harding, bbc news, ukraine. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some of the other stories making headlines across the uk caversham school in reading — whose head teacher ruth perry took her own life after inspectors downgraded it to �*inadequate' — has now beenjudged �*good' — following a further inspection. ofsted returned to the school injune and said areas including safeguarding had been improved. ruth perry's sister welcomed the new rating saying it proved that caversham had never been a failing school. the deaths of four boys, who fell into a frozen lake near solihull were accidental and "a devastating tragedy", a coroner has concluded. eight—year—old finlay butler, and his six—year—old

brother samuel — died, with their cousin, 11—year—old thomas — and another io—year—old boy, jackjohnson. they went on to the ice after they fed ducks and skimmed stones. house prices fell for the third month in a row injune according to the mortgage lender, the halifax, while mortgage rates continue to rise. it said the annual fall of 2.6% was equal to around £7,500 being wiped off the average uk house price. you're live with bbc news. next tonight, let's talk about rising global temperatures, because this week — once again — records have been shattered. the world's average temperature reached a new high for the third time in seven days, and now stands at 17.23 celsius, that's just over 63 fahrenheit. yesterday, the eu's climate monitoring service said june was the hottest on record atjust over 0.5 celsius above the 1991—2020 average, smashing the previous record ofjune 2019.

it's the latest in a series of records halfway through a year that has already seen a drought in spain and fierce heat waves in china as well the united states. scientists say the temperatures are being driven by human—induced climate change and the naturally—occurring weather pattern known as el nino. all this comes as other parts of the world have been experiencing heavy rains. at least 50 people have lost their lives in the latest floods and landslides in pakistan. eight of the dead are children. well, to talk about all of this, we've got our climate and science reporter georgina rannard now, who has been tracking worldwide temperatures for us. from new delhi, we have aditya valiathan, who is a fellow at the centre for policy research which tracks how climate change impacts people's lives in india and south asia — and we're alsojoined by alison bridger, who is lecturer in meterology and climate science

at sanjose university in the united states. good to have you all with us. lets start with you georgina, it was a picture of how things are when it comes to temperatures, first of all? these temperatures come from a group of scientists at the university and as you said it's remarkable because monday it broke the record and then tuesday and then again on thursday, and what we are seeing is this is being driven by climate change and the phenomenon you mentioned el nino, it's worth saying it's an unofficial record and it comes from reputed sources, the weather source in the us said they would look at this data and temperatures are unusually warm but they will wait for a longer period of time until they confirmed this regard. you mentioned _ they confirmed this regard. you mentioned the _ they confirmed this regard. you mentioned the us, lets bring alison bridger in, you are a major

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. 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. now, in the heaviest of those downpours, we could see around 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, but 27 or so for northern scotland, where it's going to be a warmer day 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.
