now, if the reports are to be believed, even if they're half as serious as are alleged, then you would expect that the bbc to respond promptly. now, i don't know precisely what was said back on may 19th or whatever the date is that's being speculated, and what was said subsequently. what i do know is that as soon as the bbc was seized of the seriousness of the allegation, it is incumbent upon them to act promptly. as i say, that's not just for the victim, or the alleged victim, i should be clear at the heart of this, but also those who stand to be accused on social media and elsewhere. that's a point that i'm sure the bbc will want to reflect on very carefully in the fullness of time. the kremlin has met with the leader of the wagner grip on some of his military after the supposed it military after the supposed it
11:46 am
military coup. 35 people, including the leader of the wagner grip himself, met at the kremlin on the 29th ofjune. it lasted nearly three hours. the president gave an assessment of the fact company's actions at the front line as part of actions at the front line as part of a special military operation and also give an assessment of the 24th ofjune and preach and listen to the explanations and proposed options for their further employment and application. the wagner commander told president putin that they unconditionally supported him. for their part, the commanders outlined their part, the commanders outlined their version of what happens, referring to the mutiny, of course, stressing there were strong supporters and soldiers of the head of state and said they were ready to continue to fight for the
11:47 am
motherland. so, that confirmation from the kremlin that president putin met the head of the wagner mercenary group, yevgeny prigozhin, after that mutiny. police in china say six people have been killed in a stabbing attack at a kindergarten in the south—eastern province of guangdong. a spokeswoman for the local government in the city of lianjiang told reporters that three of the victims were children. a teacher and two parents were also killed. the main suspect in this attack is a 25—year—old local man who turned up at the kindergarten early this morning just as parents were taking their children to school and then it seems set about with a knife. and as you said there, we've just had confirmation just in the last hour that the victims are a teacher, two parents and three children. we have no word as yet as to what may be the possible motive for this attack.
11:48 am
the man, the main suspect, is now in police custody. this is a small town in southwestern guangdong province. and, you know, obviously a terrible, terrible story. but i mean, i wasjust looking back at some of the statistics over the last five years and these sort of attacks in china have been worryingly or disturbingly frequent in recent years. i was looking back over the data and there are many reports of attacks. i've got at least nine attacks on schools, kindergartens and universities over the last five years. but there is concern in these sort of situations of copycat attacks. and, of course, the news environment in china is very different. often the state media is not allowed to publish full details, so it's often quite difficult to find out exactly what has gone on and what action has been taken and indeed what the motive for these attacks is. but as you say, a lot of these in recent years have been by men, almost always men, often young men
11:49 am
with a grudge against society. so not dissimilar to mass attacks in other countries, in the united states, injapan, where i live for many years, where we've seen similar incidents of mass attacks, trying to cause outrage, showing a grudge against society. and that seems to be a similar pattern in china. but experts we've spoken to when previous attacks have taken place, have spoken to the bbc, have said there are particularfactors in china. it is a very high pressure society. there is very high expectations on young men. and if you don't have a job, if you haven't achieved social success, there are certain people who will feel this great resentment against society and go and carry out some sort of outrage like this. we don't know if that's the case in this particular incident, but it certainly has been in the past. let's get more on the recent news
11:50 am
that a teenage boy has been arrested after reports that the pupil stabbed after reports that the pupil stabbed a teacher in gloucestershire. the ambulance service said they were called at about 9:08am this morning at an incident in tewkesbury. they said they sent three double crewed land ambulances and to operations officer and conveyed one patient by land to gloucestershire royal to. that coincides with the news that we got from the police earlier saying an adult had been taken to hospital with a suspected stab wound following this incident at tewkesbury school. we can speak now from a bbc radio gloucestershire reporter. tell us what you know, edward. i reporter. tell us what you know, edward. . . , reporter. tell us what you know, edward. ., . , ., ., reporter. tell us what you know, edward. ., . ., ., edward. i am currently at a garden centre which _ edward. i am currently at a garden centre which is _ edward. i am currently at a garden centre which is ten _ edward. i am currently at a garden centre which is ten minutes - edward. i am currently at a garden centre which is ten minutes down | edward. i am currently at a garden i centre which is ten minutes down the road from the school. there are a lot of parents here. parents have

just be the logistical challenge of the sheer number of pupils there. thank you for that. let's return now to the meeting in downing street between president biden and prime minister, rishi sunak, ahead of nato's annual summit on tuesday. the us president told mr sunak that the relationship between the two countries was "rock solid". my colleague rajini vaidyanathan is in downing street. so they had a nice cup of tea in the garden and a very friendly conversation, it sounds like. friendly, and also quite a brief one. the meeting here lasted under an hour. we don't know yet what exactly they talked about in their discussions. we haven't had the readouts from downing street or the white house. i am joined now by our
11:53 am
political correspondent, rob watson. very quick meeting, president has gone. it was only about a0 minutes. and also wants to be careful about engaging in amateur body language analysis, but i was rather struck that when president biden got out of the car and made the ten metre walk to rishi sunak, they did seem as though they have a good rapport, the body language seemed good. we haven't yet had the official readout that we tend to get from downing street officials travelling with the president, but they seemed rather pleased to see each other. what you would say is this is probably not the most difficult meeting please to our ever want to have with each other when you consider the domestic political lives they are going to have to endure. the political lives they are going to have to endure.—

11:56 am
before the end of the day. what's happening is low pressure is in charge of our weather this week, so it's going to be cooler than last week. there will be showers or longer spells of rain, some heavy and thundery, and it's also going to be windy at times. we've got low pressure in the atlantic at the moment with this clutch of fronts. they're already bringing rain in across the south—west, pushing steadily north—eastwards through the course of the day. some of that rain is going to be heavy. it's moving out of the south—west of england, across wales into the midlands, northern england, clipping northern ireland and south—west scotland. in western parts of northern ireland, you can expect some showers. to the north of scotland, some showers. the driest conditions in the south—east, but then we've got some more rain coming in to the south—west. these white circles represent average wind speeds, so it's a breezy day, but we're looking at gusty winds developing across south—west england and west wales through the day, with highs 16 in the north to 2a in the south. as we head on through the evening and overnight, this first batch of rain moves northwards again, fragmenting in doing so, but we've got the trailing front behind it bringing some heavy rain in across parts of
11:57 am
england and also wales. it's going to feel quite muggy in the south with overnight lows here falling away to about 17 degrees, but widely we're looking at 11 to ia degrees. as we move through tuesday, you can see the low pressure continuing to drift north—eastward. this is the trailing front i was telling you about. it will take its time to clear. there's a clock there to give you a rough idea of timings. it may well affect wimbledon tomorrow in some shape or form because behind it we're looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. some of those showers will be heavy and potentially thundery, but we won't all catch one. temperatures 15 to about 22 degrees, so just down a notch or two. as we move from tuesday into wednesday, and thursday, for that matter, you can see the low pressure pushing up towards scandinavia. the wind around it will be coming more from a north or north—westerly direction. that's a cooler direction for us and it will bring in a lot of showers, particularly so to the north and the west. the other thing you will notice
