its driver, a 46—year—old woman who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, has been released on bail. she was taken to hospital yesterday but her condition wasn't life—threatening. the number of flowers here continues to grow. some people stand in silence. others share their disbelief. obviously still a lot of things to understand but yeah, it was a tough couple of hours when the story was breaking and there wasn't a lot of information. yeah, nowjust hearts go out to everyone who's been most affected by this. the police investigation may take some time. how families, a school and a community come to terms with what happened at a tea party on the last day of term will no doubt take longer. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. president zelensky has thanked the united states after washington agreed to supply cluster bombs to ukraine. it's a weapon that has been banned by more than 100 countries around the world. but ukraine has been pressing for the artillery shells which drop

multiple explosives to help with their counter offensive against russian forces. russia has been using the weapons since the start of the war. human rights groups say cluster bombs kill indiscriminately and unexploded devices can pose a danger to civilians for many years. our correspondent gordon corera reports from kyiv. ukraine's counter—offensive has been under way for a month, with heavy fighting in places like bakhmut, but progress has been slower than hoped. ukraine is short of ammunition and facing entrenched russian defensive positions. that's why the pressure has been growing for its western allies to provide more weapons, including cluster munitions and today, washington gave the green light. russia has been using cluster munitions since the start of this war to attack ukraine. in this environment, ukraine has been requesting cluster munitions in order to defend its own sovereign territory. explosions

these are the type of cluster munitions the us will supply, they scatter tiny bomblets but they are highly controversial. the munitions scatter indiscriminately over a wide area. some so—called duds do not explode, leaving a threat to civilians often for years into the future. very disappointed with the news today and we condemn it in the strongest sense. the transfer of cluster munitions is contrary to international law and will lead to civilian harm. there is already evidence that russia has been using cluster bombs inside ukraine, like here in kharkiv. more than 120 countries have signed a convention banning their use but the us, ukraine and russia have not signed up to the ban. more than 50 civilians were killed in this russian attack last year on a railway station in kramatorsk.

many of them were women and children trying to flee the conflict. there is strong evidence that this was a cluster munition attack. here in ukraine, defence officials say cluster munitions could make a significant difference on the battlefield, helping them break through russian defences. kyiv argues that russia has been using the weapons in ukraine, so ukraine should have the right to use them on its own territory, for its own self—defence. but providing these cluster munitions has been divisive, both within washington and among allies who have been providing weapons to ukraine. nato's secretary—general today had to tread carefully. is there not a risk that we could see first cracks in nato's unity? when it comes to cluster munitions, 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. president zelensky has been on the move today in slovakia, the czech republic and turkey,

drumming up support ahead of next week's crucial nato summit in lithuania, calling for membership and more weapons. explosions all through this war, western weapons have been vital for ukraine but there is sometimes frustration that they've not come as quickly as kyiv wants. cluster bombs have now been promised but their arrival could prove controversial. gordon corera, bbc news, kyiv. let's go to washington now and speak to our correspondent gary o'donoghue. gary, president zelensky is very pleased that the us has agreed to supply cluster bombs, but they are not without controversy, are they? no, sophie, and the us has been thinking about this for a very long time. i think many of its salads, two thirds of the nato members, have banned their use, so they know this is going to be a difficult one for the coalition members to go along with so they have been putting a lot of effort into persuading other

countries that this is the right decision. they have come to this decision. they have come to this decision mainly because producing enough of the standard shells is taking time, they have hundreds of thousands of these cluster bombs in reserve here in the united states, and they believed that the ukrainians have given them sufficient assurances that they won't be used in urban areas and they will help them to clean them up after the war. all those assurances will go on i think stony ground in terms of the campaigners out there, but for the allies it does seem to have done the trick because while there has been some criticism from places like germany, you can understand that some countries will have to say something for domestic consumption, but cracks in the coalition do not seem to be appearing, and any resistance from congress here seems have been overcome as well, republicans welcoming it and only a handful of democrats expressing their opposition to it. so, this has been a long diplomatic process but the us does seem to have got to a position where it can supply these without

ruining the unity of the coalition thatis ruining the unity of the coalition that is facing russia.— ruining the unity of the coalition that is facing russia. gary, thank ou. if you want to read more about what's happening in ukraine, there's a special report from our correspondent andrew harding on the latest situation on the front line in the east of the country which you can find on the bbc website. there's still no sign of the boss of the russian wagner mercenaries yevgeny prigozhin. his whereabouts remain a mystery after he led a short—lived rebellion in russia last month. under the deal to end the stand—off, charges against him were dropped and he was offered a move to belarus. his fighters were told they could either sign up to the russian army or move to belarus as well. but yesterday, the belarusian leader?said yevgeny prigozhin was in russia after all. so what about the wagner fighters involved in the rebellion? last week, these satellite images appeared to show activity at a disused military base around 60 miles from the belarusian capital. fuelling speculation that work was under way there to accommodate wagner fighters. well, our russian editor

steve rosenberg has visited that site today and sent this report. we're looking for answers. where is wagner? where's their chief, yevgeny prigozhin? no—one seems to know. but could the russian mercenaries end up here, an abandoned base in belarus? the country's leader, alexander lukashenko, is offering to host wagner fighters on this site. we're among a group ofjournalists allowed in for a tour. there's plenty of space here for a private army. lots of tents that have only recently been put up — enough for 5,000 people. "come on in," the major general says. no wagnerfighters here — not yet. we're told these are belarusian soldiers, off—shift. there's something a bit strange about this. belarus says that this camp could be

for wagner if they want to come here but we're told that all these new tents that have appeared in the last couple of weeks have got nothing to do with getting ready for wagner, they're for a territorial defence exercise... ..in september. so forward planning by the belarusians. yesterday, mr lukashenko told us that there are dozens of ex—soviet military bases in his country that could accommodate wagner, but he admitted the group's expected move to belarus wasn't a done deal. if the russian mercenaries do move in, what will the belarusian army make of it? "we don't see any reason for danger," major general kosinsky says. "private military companies exist in many countries." true, but not all of them mutiny and march on the capital as wagner did in russia. and what of the time we've spent in belarus and all of those

questions we came here with — about the wagner mercenaries, about their leader, their future? well, we're still searching for answers. steve rosenberg, bbc news, in the village of tsel, belarus. the man convicted of murdering elle edwards outside a pub on christmas eve has been sentenced to a minimum of 48 years in prison. the 26—year—old beautician was an innocent bystander caught up in a gangland shooting carried out by connor chapman. jayne mccubbin, who has spent time with elle's family over recent months, sent this report. she was young and beautiful, with her whole life ahead. her 23—year—old killer, connor chapman, will be 71 before being considered for parole. thanks a lot, thank you. there were hugs outside court for elle's father tim as chapman was jailed. he crept up to the door of a busy pub on christmas eve and opened fire. shots fire.

elle was hit twice in the head. she was not his intended target. in this trial we have all watched the cctv and sound recording of that shooting. it's utterly shocking. you carefully planned a revenge attack in gang rivalry. you had no thought at all for anyone else. when me and the girls came here, i took a photograph of the two of them... just a year ago, elle had been here in greece with her dad tim and sister lucy, a place he revisited just before the trial to try and focus on the joy they once shared, not the rage he now feels. remember that picture of you and elle? i was going to say, i can recognise already that you're there. that's it there. it was right there, wasn't it? if you've not had any counselling, how do you come back to a place like this? i suppose this is like therapy, you know. it would be easierjust to lose

yourself in the bottom of a bottle of whiskey, i guess. i've done that. bottle of whiskey would be dead. and that just. .. that... that adds its own problems. two weeks before the trial, tim revisits the places they went to, the restaurants they ate in, a reminder of life as it was. give me a minute, just let me... and as we float in the med, a text arrives from merseyside police. that text message from the police, that was to ask you to watch cctv footage of elle's murder. should never ask to do that. who wants to watch the video of your daughter getting murdered? once you've seen it, you're never going to unsee it, are you? how do you deal with that? the grieving process, what i'm learning, is that it comes in waves, and it... itjust hits you.

it can come to the point where it will break most people. but it won't break me. today, tim told the court they all now faced a life sentence, their only crime, loving an amazing person. you would give her a little bit of your love and you'd get two or three times back off her. and i'll miss that. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. almost all goods and cargo traded around the world travels by ship. but global shipping emits huge amounts of carbon dioxide each year. to give you an idea, it's as much as germany emits annually. well, now, 175 countries have agreed to make the global shipping industry net zero in carbon emissions "by or around 2050". our climate editorjustin rowlatt has the story. man shouts challenge

he's not a protester. this is a fijian ceremonial war challenge. performed at a conference today in defence of the world's climate. shipping was left out of the global agreement to cut emissions made at the un climate summit in paris in 2015. after two weeks of talks at a global conference in london, a deal on shipping was finally agreed today. applause but it came in the face of fierce resistance from countries including china, brazil and saudi arabia. instead of hard targets, delegates agreed to try and achieve indicative checkpoints, countries agreed to strive to cut emissions by as much as 30% by 2030, at least 70% by 20110,

and the aim is the shipping industry will be net zero by 2050. that means on balance it will add no greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. how is it going to do that? well, ships will be powered by improved, cleanerfuels, including zero carbon fuels produced using renewable power. some ships may use sails to reduce fuel consumption and ships could go more slowly, which also cuts fuel use. the deal was welcomed by small island states. we came with very high levels of ambition that we wanted to see reflected in the document. we didn't get that level of ambition. but we did manage to get a target that we feel keeps the 1.5 degrees celsius increase in temperature within reach. earlier in the week, the meeting was interrupted by protesters dressed as the sea god poseidon accompanied by some sickly mermaids. today, many climate activists said

the deal was good enough. —— said the deal was not good enough. there's nothing binding on this, so it's all going to come down to what we agree in subsequent meetings with the measures. so, how are we practically going to meet this vision? but overall, the vision itself is weak. though at least there is now a commitment to drive down emissions from global shipping. but as temperature records continue to fall, scientists warn the world must do much more to tackle greenhouse gases from all sectors of the economy. justin rowlatt, bbc news. the scottish government has called for the decrimalisation of all drugs for personal use, saying it would mean that people using drugs would be treated and supported rather than criminalised and excluded. but the government in westminster would need to approve the move and downing street has already said the prime minister has no plans to change it. here's our scotland correspondent, james shaw.

harmful drug use has been a problem in scotland for decades. combined with unemployment and substandard housing, it's blighted communities across the country. deacon richer has lived around drugs for most of his life. both his parents were users. i think the decriminalisation of possession in scotland is a good thing, because the war on drugs has failed. if there was any progress made in the past 50 years, we would see a difference. and if any other policy in government had the same statistics, it would be scrapped. going forward... new approaches to dealing with the harms caused by drugs have been discussed today at an international conference in edinburgh. this was the forum where the scottish government announced its plan on decriminalisation. if we actually want to reduce harms, we need to make sure that people are able to be empowered to make decisions so that they can consume drugs in a safe area. they can actually have drug checking facilities that allows them to know

what it is that they're taking. but the scottish conservatives see it as a dangerous move. scotland's record drugs death - problem does not need more drugs flooding the streets. we can't open the door to organised crime. - we can't run up a white flag of surrender. - this is going to cause more drugs and more drugs deaths. - the issue for the scottish government is that drug law is controlled in london. the home office said it had no plans to decriminalise personal possession because of the associated risks, including those posed by criminal gangs. this is one more area where animosity between the scottish and uk governments means that compromise is highly unlikely. james shaw, bbc news. with the nhs under intense pressue, 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 callout 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 come in. now, other hospitals are thinking of doing the same. our health editor hugh pym reports. it's ok, we're going to go with mummy. it's 8.00 in the morning. we're going to go into our ambulance, ok, darling? four—year—old elizabeth is finding it hard to breathe. how far? about seven minutes away. ok, forget it. we'll go. it's patients like this who need to be seen urgently. is her seat belt on? siren wails yeah? stay awake for me, darling. in some local hospitals, they're already way over capacity. department's full, resus is full... becky's being briefed by carolyn in a&e at the royal london. 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 a0 that are unplaced. 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, four—year—old female to newham... 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. in a small bunker—like room, 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 as 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. yeah. it's nearly 10.00. the crew has been called to an accident. tom's car was stationary when he was hit twice by another driver. no intrusion, no airbags deployed. the paramedics make contact with the medical team back at the hospital. the crew are on scenel with a chap who's been 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. 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. i so something needs to change. that's what we're trying - to instigate in our local area, to make sure we can have something sustainable for the future. _ not homejust 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. in the last hour, allegations have emerged in a newspaper about a bbc presenter. our culture editor katie razzall is here with more. this is a report in the sun and contains allegations against what the newspaper says is a top bbc staff who the paper hasn't named. but we do understand the bbc is looking into the allegations and they are certainly very serious. it claims a well—known presenter is

accused of giving a 17—year—old boy more than £35,000 in return sexually explicit images. the boy's family complained to the bbc are made on 19th this year and begged them to stop the man sending the cash which they claim is feeding a drug habit. the mother claims her son, who is now 20, has done from a happy—go—lucky youngster to a ghostlike crack addict as she puts it in just three years. in a statement, the bbc said, we treat any allegations very seriously and we have processes in place to proactively deal with them and asa as part of that, if we receive information that requires further investigation or examination we will take steps to do that, and that is including speaking to those involved to understand the situation. the sun reports the mail presenter has been taken off airand reports the mail presenter has been taken off air and we understand he is not scheduled to appear in the coming days. is not scheduled to appear in the coming dam-— cricket, and the third ashes test is again delicately poised

at the end of the second day's play. ben stokes provided more heroics with the bat earlier, before england's bowlers took some late wickets as they seek to keep the series alive. joe wilson reports from headingley. skim the details in cricket's summer, it all comes back to ben stokes. after the others had fallen, his job was to rescue the innings — to keep england close to australia's score, to keep england in the ashes. but he's carrying injuries. he knew that was going to a fielder but something about his batting intimidates even the australians. missed it. australia picked a young spin bowler. this was todd murphy's headingley education. ben stokes to 50. england passed 200 and spectators to their feet. that's what stokes does. he hit five sixes and made 80, and when england were all out, they were just 26 runs behind. the game was still alive. so australia in their second innings set out to just bat normally, sensibly, to build their lead.

but the ashes does funny things to even the best players. why would marnus labuschagne on 33 hit this directly to harry brook waiting by the boundary? he didn't know. why would steve smith place this shot into the hands of ben duckett? england missed some chances, took this. smith out for two. between him and jonny bairstow, a certain conversation, along the lines of "see you later", we gather. big moment before the close. the excellent usman khawaja was dismissed for a3. australia are 142 runs ahead but england have four wickets and they have stokes, and they have hope. joe wilson, bbc news, headingley. it has not been a good day for the british men at wimbledon. they are all out — including andy murray who lost a 2—1 lead as he resumed last night's game on centre court this afternoon. andy swiss was watching. so was this his wimbledon farewell? andy murray heading for the exit, not knowing if he'll be back.

earlier, he'd resumed 2—1 sets up against stefanos tsitsipas and he began brightly. cheering no signs of yesterday's injury scare. the fans were up for it but then so was tsitsipas, as he took a fourth set tie—break. and so to a deciding set. who would seize the moment? well, it was tsitsipas. murray's face said it all, as the world number five sealed victory. game, set and match — tsitsipas. another gutsy performance from murray but another early exit. so would he be back next year? well, his emotion was obvious. um... i don't know right now. you know, i put a lot into this year in preparing for wimbledon and right now, i don't know. yeah, i'm just unbelievably disappointed and upsetjust now and maybe i'll feel differently in a few days but right now...
