a trial heard his attackers, one of whom had just collected knives bought online, mistook him for his friend. pradjeet veadhasa will serve a minimum term of 18 years and sukhman shergill a minimum of16. the judge at wolverhampton crown court said he was lifting reporting restrictions on their names to send a strong message about knife crime. earlier phil mackie provided this development and spoke to the family of the victim. the two people who've now been jailed today are pradjeet veadhasa and sukhman shergill, who are both 16 at the time. cctv footage of the incident was shown during the trial. it's absolutely horrific. it shows ronan just walking along the street outside his house with headphones on and suddenly behind him the pair appear wielding a machete and a ninja sword. massive weapons which they used to kill him. and todayjustice chowdhury talked

again about the national scourge of knife crime. here we have another teenager killed by other teenagers carrying weapons which they thought were ok to carry. now i've got the family with me. so i've got puja, ronan's mum, chanda, the dad and nikita, ronan's sister. firstly, they've been sentenced to detention for life at his majesty's pleasure, which is something that you get if you're under 18 with minimum sentences of 18 and 16 years respectively. you were kind of expecting that. are you happy with it? we were expecting that, but we're not happy with it. we wish there was furthermore, he gave he so everything was on the cctv, it was in front of the judge and the jury. but we knew this was going to be the case. they will get 16 to 18 years. the judge said he wanted to send a message out by, first of all, allowing us reporters to name the defendants and talk about that scourge of knife crime. was he right to do so? i'm happy they have given the name

to the murderers and they needed to be told. they need to be told. the 16—year—old and i hope they can pass this message to the other 16—year—old, but your name would be released as well if you take such actions. and nikita all of you made very powerful victim personal statements there. but nikita, you directly address the defendants and their families. what did you say? so i told the families that they are also responsible for the actions of their children. and i very confidently can say that because i know that my brother would never have carried that out because of his upbringing, because of, you know, we would never let, you know, ronan would never do that. and also, ijust want to say the post office in which the public bodies have picked up the knives, i think they're also culpable for what has happened to my brother. so one of the things that we talked about here is greater regulation,

which is what you're campaigning for with yourjustice for and t—shirts on is that these were 16—year—olds who were able to buy online these weapons and pick them out weapons and pick them out without really adequate age checks. can ijust bring in your dad here, chanda, because you were obviously very emotional as well about this. you think that these weapons should be banned, don't you? do you think that enough is being done to stop teenagers getting these weapons? no, because it's just so easy for them to use aliases just to order them online. and the worst thing was when they picked up this weapon from the post office, they should have sent a message to the post office saying, listen, someone's going to pick this weapon up, make sure you check the id, make sure he's over 18 or 21, whatever age should be. and no id was checked. he was just allowed to go to the post office, pick his package, go home, you know, on rapid, you know, big swords. the latest from that distressing case in wolverhampton. i want to take you to wimbledon

because anza jabbar has got to her second successive ladies final. she is just beaten sabalenka and she will face markets of laundry soap in the at wimbledon and just enjoying every moment of that semifinal victory and signing as many moments as she can put up huge smiles from the fence because she's spending time with them and who smiles from her escort. so many people thinking of what happened last year but she has made it back to the final, so those of the pictures and that they just news from wimbledon. drivers are being urged to brace themselves for higher costs when dropping off friends and family at some of the uk's biggests airports this summer, as charges for short—stay visits rise by almost a third. operators have defended the hikes, saying the extra revenue is reinvested into services to help keep costs down for passengers. our transport correspondent katy austin reports.

if you drop someone off by car as close as possible to an airport terminal, chances are it'll cost you. and in some places, it'll cost you more than last year. for example, of the 21 airports analysed by motoring group the rac, two had put their charges up by £2. it's now £3 for ten minutes at belfast international, which said the money would go towards airport improvements and £6 for 20 minutes at southampton, which said its operational costs had gone up. they're not the highest, though. stansted didn't raise its prices this year, but remains at the top, charging £7 for 15 minutes at its express set down. leeds bradford is second — £6 for ten minutes. that's up by £1 compared to last year. belfast city has become the latest to introduce fees. it now charges £3 for ten minutes at its express drop off and pick up. it's surely hard for airports tojustify such high prices for dropping off forjust a few minutes, so we'd urge them to really play fair with drivers this summer.

13 airports the group looked at had frozen drop off charges since last summer, including six of the busiest in the uk. this was what people on the streets of manchester yesterday thought. when i go away, i do my best to get lifts. just because i find going through the drop off at stansted ludicrous in price nowadays. it's crazy. prices have gone through the roof. people just can't keep up with living like this any more and something needs to be done. but i don't personally know what the answer is. but that's what people are in power for to sort out. yeah. i do usually get dropped off. by my daughter at the airport, or son—in—law, one of them. so i may have to think. about the extra cost it's going to put on them or subsidise them in some way. _ maybe look at public transport as well. i the airport operators association pointed out many did offer free drop off and pick up alternatives, with good links to their terminals. it said charges were levied for a number of reasons, including managing congestion

and raising revenue to support their economic model. but, as the cost of living soars, it's another thing that will have many drivers reaching for their wallets this summer. katy austin, bbc news. president biden has said the russian leader, vladimir putin, has already lost the war in ukraine — and does not have the resources to sustain it. speaking after a summit with nordic leaders in finland, president biden also insisted that ukraine would one dayjoin the nato military alliance, but not while the country was still at war. it's not whether about they should or shouldn't join. it's not whether about they should or shouldn'tjoin. it's about when theyjoin. if this was be something that keep putin from continuing to fight, the answer is that putin has already lost the war. how does he go

from here? what does he do? the idea of there being what vehicle is going to be used? he could and the work tomorrow. he could say i am out. but what agreement is reached depends on putin and what he decides to do but there's no possibility of him winning the war in ukraine. he has already lost that war. imagine if, anyway. he has already lost that war. biden also stated he is �*serious' on a prisoner exchange to free the us reporter — jailed in russia. iam i am serious about prisoner exchange and do nothing we can set free americans held in russia or anyone else for that matter. that process is also under way.— is also under way. vladimir putin also said recently _

is also under way. vladimir putin also said recently that _ is also under way. vladimir putin also said recently that russia - is also under way. vladimir putin i also said recently that russia could withdraw from the back seat green deal unless on sites uphold their promises, but he has also threatened that previously, but we will keep an eye on that. let's turn to the fierce heatwave gripping parts of southern europe. temperatures are forecast to rise above a0 degrees celsius in parts of france, spain, greece, croatia and turkey. in italy — temperatures could reach nearly 49 degrees. red alert warnings — meaning there's a threat to life — have been issued for ten cities — including florence and rome. residents have been advised to drink at least two litres of water a day — and to avoid coffee and alcohol — which can cause dehydration. our reporter sofia bettiza sent this update from rome. the italian health ministry has issued a red alert warning for ten cities today, including rome, bologna and florence. now it is the middle ofjuly. there are lots of tourists here in italy and some of them have collapsed in the last few

days due to heatstroke. now, this heatwave could cause temperatures to reach 48.8 degrees celsius, and that would break the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded in europe. but this is notjust in italy. it's a heatwave that's affecting several european countries, such as greece, spain, germany and france. now, because of climate change, heatwaves like this one are becoming more frequent and more severe and they could be quite dangerous. last summer was the hottest summer on record, and more than 60,000 people across europe died because of the heat. so there are fears that this heatwave could cause many more deaths this summer. and that's why italian authorities are advising people here to avoid doing exercise during the day, to drink plenty of water, at least two litres a day, to avoid coffee and alcohol and to avoid going out during the day. and they're also asking people to check on their elderly neighbours if they live alone.

so they're urging people to take this extremely seriously because these extreme temperatures are expected to continue for the next ten days. the coronation robes worn by king charles and queen camilla, are to go on display from tomorrow at buckingham palace. the state rooms will be open to the public until september. jewellery and the throne chairs will also be on show as well , as our royal correspondent, sarah campbell reports. choral singing. millions watched the coronation on the television but the majesty of the two hour ceremony made the detail hard to pick out, and that's what this year's summer exhibition will allow visitors to see close—up. take the queen's coronation dress. painstakingly embroidered, look closely, and you'll see the names of her children and grandchildren, and pictures of her two jack russell terriers, bluebell and beth. queens throughout the 20th and now

in the 21st century have had a degree of choice about the embroidery which goes on all of their clothing for the coronation, and it's wonderful to see her majesty's interest in the natural world, and that acknowledgement of herfamily upon her dress and her robe. also on display, the coronation necklace worn by queen camilla. originally made for queen victoria, it's been worn at every coronation since 1902. and the glove and girdle, both worn by king charles's grandfather george vi at his coronation in 1937. there are very few rooms in london which are big enough to act as a stand—in for westminster abbey, but this is one of them. the ballroom at buckingham palace. so in the run—up to the coronation, this is where the king and queen rehearsed for their big day. teams of experts were employed to craft the outfits and upholstery in time for may the sixth, spending hundreds of hours either restoring or creating brand—new items, including the screen used

to shield the king from view during the most sacred part of the ceremony, the anointing. chorus: # long live the king #. it was the key moment in the coronation where we were able to acknowledge the commonwealth. so it's in the design of a tree, and every leaf on the tree has hand embroidered upon it the name of a commonwealth country. last seen protecting the king and queen from the inclement weather on their way to the abbey, the diamond jubilee state coach, now on display in the palace quadrant. with its electric windows and air conditioning, it again illustrates how history was brought up—to—date on coronation day. sarah campbell, bbc news, buckingham palace. here are the pictures from hollywood universal studios where actors are joining writers in strike action,

the first such notice or action since 1916. hello there. it's been a familiar story again today. cool, some sunshine and some showers. the next few days, though, could be turning wet and windy. this area of cloud is a developing area of low pressure that will bring the wind and the rain up from the southwest. and ahead of that, whilst the showers that we had today will fade away, we've got a bit of thicker cloud bringing some patchy rain northwards across wales, north west england, northern ireland and southern scotland. and they're probably going to be a lot of cloud around overnight. so a little bit warmer than last night away for northern scotland where we've got single figure temperatures. but let's focus on the southwest. this is where we've probably got the worst of the weather, i think, for friday. as well as the rain, we've got these strong, gusty winds, gusting 50 miles an hour perhaps, and some rough seas. and that rain is going to be with us for much of the day. before it does clear away later, it could turn heavy and thundery. that rain will push further north

and eastwards across more of england and wales, up into northern ireland, maybe eventually into the south of scotland. something a bit drier for the north of the country. could be muggy for a while in the southeast, but if anything, those temperatures are likely to be even lower than they were today in the wind and the rain. and it's all due to that area of low pressure deepening as it heads across the uk. it's going to be sitting around into saturday, lots of isobars on the chart, an indication it's going to be unusually windy, really, for this time of the year. and the rain when it comes could be heavy and thundery. of course, it's going to stay on the cool side as well. focus on the winds, though, for saturday, and the strongest winds will be across england and wales. it's in this area that we're more likely to have some impacts because of the strength of the wind, and the strongest winds could be along some southern coasts and over the hills, but particularly gusty when those showers arrive and it doesn't take long for them to set off. we've got a lot of downpours developing widely across england and wales where it's windy. not quite so windy for scotland and northern ireland, but again, some heavy and thundery rain is possible. all depressing the temperatures, of course. that area of low pressure that area of low pressure still with us, then on saturday

will continue to just drift still with us, then on saturday northwards, could take the worst of the weather away with it as well. of the weather away with it as well. but, if anything, it may be but, if anything, it may be a windier day for scotland a windier day for scotland to northern ireland, to northern ireland, perhaps the north of england, perhaps the north of england, not quite so windy on sunday further south. and there may well be some sunshine around, but still some heavy thundery showers, wetter weather in the north and the top temperatures 20—21 celsius. to the industrial action.

at 6:00 — a pay rise for around a million people. what do we want? fair pay! when do we want it? now! up to 7% for public sector workers in england and wales, including junior doctors — starting another five day strike today.
