comments that were made today are really important for everyone to hear, to read the stories of what kind of tactics are being used at this very moment. it is an important piece. it breaks my heart to imagine that your kid has been taken, now they are coming back and trying to show you they are growing up from this experience, it is truly the human story in all of this but one that the world does need to pay attention to because these are the kinds of tactics that we are seeing now. and i don't see it slowing down the more and more ukraine hold their ground. the the more and more ukraine hold their round. ,, . . ., ground. the russian federation claims their _ ground. the russian federation claims their evacuations, - ground. the russian federation claims their evacuations, but . ground. the russian federation i claims their evacuations, but the ground. the russian federation - claims their evacuations, but the un has examined these cases and they cannot find evidence that they have been removed for safety or medical reasons. it is particularly dangerous if you are 17 years old and sent to a russian occupied area, because your than a of conscription. sure, that's true. and i think it underiines _ sure, that's true. and i think it underlines that a lot is happening

because they have drilled into those who they ultimately hold responsible, and of course there are implications for leadership, for vladimir putin and lukashenko. what about other people around them who are facilitating this?— are facilitating this? look, 'ust to re eat are facilitating this? look, 'ust to repeat what i are facilitating this? look, 'ust to repeat what was i are facilitating this? look, 'ust to repeat what was saying, h are facilitating this? look, just to repeat what was saying, the - repeat what was saying, the sanctions are against ia russians and what they say are their attempt to destroy ukrainian national identity. and these are the latest round of sanctions. ultimately they blame vladimir putin for all of this. and mr cleverley had said, to repeat, they could choose to end the word today if they wanted to. the other thing for mr cleverley as well, we are talking about the deportation of children, but the black sea grain initiative as well and the fact that that is going to expire tonight. that was in place for ukraine to carry on exporting

food to lots of different countries, and the point that he made and the un secretary—general made previously this morning was that it is going to affect so many countries around the world. and again, there are tough words, as we have seen by the uk and the un throughout, that they have accused russia of basically using food as a weapon. and the un general secretary did say that he had proposed a new deal to mr putin to keep it going, but he said today that he was deeply disappointed that mr putin ignored it. let’s that he was deeply disappointed that mr putin ignored it.— mr putin ignored it. let's get a little bit more _ mr putin ignored it. let's get a little bit more on _ mr putin ignored it. let's get a little bit more on that. - mr putin ignored it. let's get a little bit more on that. as - mr putin ignored it. let's get a little bit more on that. as you| mr putin ignored it. let's get a - little bit more on that. as you say, there were negotiations ongoing, right up until the final hours. earlier in the programme, we spoke to dr peter alexander, senior lecturer in global food security at the university of edinburgh.

i asked him if the hit to the global grain market will be same back in in 2022? but prices today are more akin to levels at the beginning of 2021. as you mentioned in the introduction, well off the peaks they were a year ago in the middle of last year when they were at their highest. and i think one of the reasons for that is that the energy market and fertiliser market have largely stabilised. so inorganic nitrogen fertiliser is produced using natural gas. obviously we all know about the very dramatic increases in natural gas obviously we all know about the very dramatic increases in natural gas prices, and that lead to very high fertiliser prices. and that is really come back to much more normal levels now. if farmers are then able to use fertilisers in the way they have done previously, we wouldn't expect to see any reduction in harvests and productivity. and therefore, with the supply

in that market, i don't think we will see anything like the resumption of the food prices that we saw last year. the future is today rose about 3.5%, one point on the chicago exchange. there might be a blip, that might not be. we have had warnings already about the cost of energy this winter, potentially this could further complicate the government's attempts to get inflation under control. i attempts to get inflation under control. ~' attempts to get inflation under control. ~ . attempts to get inflation under control. ~' . , control. i think so. and definitely what it does _ control. i think so. and definitely what it does is _ control. i think so. and definitely what it does is suggest _ control. i think so. and definitely what it does is suggest that - control. i think so. and definitely what it does is suggest that if. control. i think so. and definitely| what it does is suggest that if you are looking at where the pressures are looking at where the pressures are on prices, they are not down, pressures that are going to keep high prices, higherfor longer. i think what is interesting in ukraine, the response to this announcement today by the russians, that they are going to step out of this black sea grain agreement, is ukrainian brain association saying, "fine, we are already talking with shipowners and other means of transit, and we are going to look at how we can still get our grain

exported. it will cost more, it will be less efficient, but they are clearly determined to keep going whatever russia chooses to do. this whatever russia chooses to do. as professor alexander was hinting at, there is an interest here in trying to ease russian sanctions in this particular sector will stop because it is notjust the grain that is now missing from the market, it is now the fertiliser. and the reason it is not getting to market is because shippers cannot get the insurance to move it, and there is issues with swift payments in the banks. the complexity _ swift payments in the banks. the complexity is _ swift payments in the banks. the complexity is multidimensional. but ithink— complexity is multidimensional. but i think will— complexity is multidimensional. but i think will be helpful in this situation, people will come together and say— situation, people will come together and say how they are going to move this resource now. it really does force _ this resource now. it really does force everyone involved in this to say they— force everyone involved in this to say they are going to think of a new way to— say they are going to think of a new way to do— say they are going to think of a new way to do it. — say they are going to think of a new way to do it, and sometimes that can unlock— way to do it, and sometimes that can unlock other — way to do it, and sometimes that can unlock other barriers to moving what is needed _ unlock other barriers to moving what is needed to— unlock other barriers to moving what is needed to different places. but this is— is needed to different places. but this is becoming more and more complicated, and i am certain that

this is— complicated, and i am certain that this is not— complicated, and i am certain that this is not a — complicated, and i am certain that this is not a slowdown, we are going to see _ this is not a slowdown, we are going to see more — this is not a slowdown, we are going to see more of this happening as russia _ to see more of this happening as russia gets more pressure, as the aiiiances _ russia gets more pressure, as the alliances get stronger here. but that does— alliances get stronger here. but that does mean the alliances are going _ that does mean the alliances are going to — that does mean the alliances are going to have to come together to figure _ going to have to come together to figure out— going to have to come together to figure out how they make sure people are fed, _ figure out how they make sure people are fed, how they make sure that these _ are fed, how they make sure that these tactics are held accountable in a way— these tactics are held accountable in a way that we can reduce the harm to peopie _ in a way that we can reduce the harm to peopie ail— in a way that we can reduce the harm to people all around the world. just one issue on _ to people all around the world. just one issue on the kerch bridge which was hit in the early hours of this morning. there were discussions ongoing about grain, and the turkish president, president erdogan, that he was on the same page as president putin. is this linked to what happened overnight? justine? j putin. is this linked to what happened overnight? justine? i think in the end there _ happened overnight? justine? i think in the end there were _ happened overnight? justine? i think in the end there were three - happened overnight? justine? i think in the end there were three things i in the end there were three things happening today. one was the statement by the uk government and others in relation to russian children. the second was the announcement by the russians pulling out of this green deal. and the third was then this attack, which

ukraine has not taken responsibility for but it seems likely the ukrainian secret service is attacks the bridge linking crimea to russia, and what it underlines is that russia will make it steps but also the ukrainians will continue to hit russia where it is vulnerable. and that bridge is a very visible sign of how the ukrainians can take action against russia, irrespective of the counteroffensive and how well or badly it is going. and i think you are really starting to see both sides look at different ways in which they can leveraged pressure. the rest of the world, then, for the most part trying to help support ukraine. i was at an event in the uk parliament today, bringing together notjust parliament today, bringing together not just civil society and parliament today, bringing together notjust civil society and people working with ukrainian refugees but also the defence companies in the uk that are playing such a crucial role in supplying the arms that are enabling ukrainian army, military

we'll be speaking perhaps about that issue. universities in england will be forced to limit the number of students they recruit onto courses deemed as underperforming, as part of government plans announced today. the prime minister says he wants to crack down on what he calls "rip—off" degrees that don't lead to graduate jobs. labour has described the plan as "an attack on the aspirations of young people". you're live with bbc news. what also unsettles global food markets is extreme weather. and we have plenty of that at the moment. the us national weather service warned?us?yesterday that a "widespread and oppressive" heatwave?is in play?in southern and western states. it's expected to peak?today with more than 110?million people under excessive heat warnings or heat advisories. record temperatures, too, in canada, which is putting further pressure on the firefighters. canada surpassed injune a previous?the record set in 1989 for the total area burned in one

season —?7.6 million hectares. let's speak to doctorjodie sherman, an environmental health scientist at yale school of medicine. i get the sense that we focus when we have these extreme weather events on the short—term. we don't look at the longer term of effects. especially on health. but you do. what do you see looking into the future? ~ �* , , what do you see looking into the future? ~ �*, , , . what do you see looking into the future? �*, , ,. _ future? well, let's 'ust start by sa in: future? well, let's 'ust start by saying the h future? well, let's 'ust start by saying the future _ future? well, let'sjust start by saying the future is _ future? well, let'sjust start by saying the future is now. - future? well, let'sjust start by saying the future is now. we i future? well, let'sjust start by. saying the future is now. we are already— saying the future is now. we are already starting to see severe health — already starting to see severe health effects, both from things like acute heat related events as well as _ like acute heat related events as well as wildfire smoke. we are also seeing _ well as wildfire smoke. we are also seeing damages from floods and storms — seeing damages from floods and storms. not only is it increasing the heaith— storms. not only is it increasing the health burden, it is also damaging the health care infrastructure and the ability to provide — infrastructure and the ability to provide care. so we see decreased

administration policy, at the very end of his inflation reduction act, looks incredibly smart now. and you will be starting to see more investments come out. in fact, you're beginning to see this administration backed up "how do i get tax credits? how do i bring down energy costs with appliances?" no doubt it has been relate to the game, and you are beginning to see seniors ask the question, where can i go for help? how can i make sure i keep up with the changing environment? what do i do with my own health during this period of time? there are a lot of questions coming out this administration. it will be much more difficult for folks who are in congress he worked against climate policy, who worked against climate policy, who worked against health care policy, especially as you see these numbers reach unprecedented levels here in the united states.— the united states. justin, 'ust said that in context * the united states. justin, 'ust said that in context of h the united states. justin, 'ust said that in context of the _ the united states. justin, 'ust said that in context of the uk _ the united states. justin, just said i that in context of the uk government policy? that in context of the uk government toli ? ., , ., ., ., that in context of the uk government toli ? ., ., policy? lots of action on tackling climate change _ policy? lots of action on tackling climate change but _ policy? lots of action on tackling climate change but also -

quite a cool feel to the weather — and also quite a few showers, as you can see on our earlier satellite and radar picture. but those showers are now fading in many places. so, overnight, we're going to be largely dry with some clear spells, although you can see behind me, cloud getting back into northern ireland, parts of wales, maybe the south—west of england later in the night, ahead of some outbreaks of rain. a rather chilly night in north—east scotland, maybe down to four or five degrees. and for tomorrow, well, here's our weather maker — this weather system, an area of low pressure pushing its way in from the west. and this is going to bring some outbreaks of rain. in fact, some quite heavy rain in places to start the day across northern ireland, some of that rain getting into parts of north—west wales. it's going to turn very wet across northern england and also in southern scotland. i think south—west scotland may see some of the wettest weather of all. but to the south of that, some hazy sunshine, and with more of a southerly wind, actually a warmer feel — 23 to 2a degrees. stuck under the cloud and rain — maybejust 1a or 15, a slightly drier day than it has been today in the north of scotland.

and then, as we head through tuesday night, well, that rain could persist for a while in parts of southern scotland, north—east england, then tending to pull away into the north sea. some clear spells elsewhere. and these are the starting temperatures for wednesday, generally between 8 and 1a degrees. now, as we head deeper into the week, we'll see that weather system running away eastwards. high pressure trying to build from the west, but not making a lot of progress. and actually, later in the week, it could well be that low pressure starts to return. so what does that mean for our weather? well, it means it is going to stay quite changeable, quite showery and rather cool for the time of year as well. temperatures as we get into the weekend between 16 and 22 degrees. bye for now.
