spain's conservative popular party falls short of an all—out election victory. the outgoing socialists say that chances are slim for alberto nunez feijoo to form a government. and history could be made on day five at the women's world cup as a moroccan defender could become the first player to wear a hijab at the tournament. hello, i'm tadhg enright. corfu has become the latest greek island to issue evacuation orders as the country grapples with a series of devastating wildfires. boats have been despatched to take people to safety by sea. on the island of rhodes, 19,000 people have been forced from their homes and accommodation.

three hotels there have reportedly burned down, and many others are in the danger zone. this is the damage at one hotel in the town of kiotari. and some fires are still burning — these pictures are from the turkish ministry of agriculture, taken from one of their planes which is helping to fight the blazes. well, many people spent the night in temporary accommodation like this after being evacuated from hotels. others have been forced to stay in public buildings such as halls and schools. louisa pilbeam reports. fires have made rhodes a holiday held, flames turning sky is red overnight. british holidaymakers are among those fleeing for their lives. it literally felt like we were in some sort of apocalypse film because the sky behind the hotel was lit up bright orange and red, the hotel was

but now corfu, another popular holiday island, is on fire. a blaze broke out in the northern part of the island which is popular with british tourist and an evacuation order has been issued. with the greek fire brigade now forecasting fires will break out on other islands, including crete, the nightmare on the holiday islands rages on. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. thousands of tourists have already been evacuated from their accommodation but many are still waiting for information on what happens next. 0ur reporter courtney bembridge has more. let's get another perspective from some of the two companies and airlines that fly into rhodes macro, jet2 have said they will be sending no tourists there for at least the next week but they are sending empty planes there to help get people home. tui has also cancelled flights until at least wednesday. easyjet has said they are running as normal

but they are sending extra flights to tomorrow and won the next day to try to help get people home. they have cancelled package holidays so those ones including the hotels and flights all in one and british airways and ryanair have said now flying as normal, as have other like air france and condor so many airlines, again, are operating as normal as the tourism minister said there, expecting to continue their operations, and we know that the uk foreign office is sending a support team to help british nationals at the airport. some of the things they will be focusing on is getting people emergency documents, many of these people may have headed to the airport without the documents, not able to go back to the resorts and hotels where they were staying to pick up luggage and passports and things like that, that's also under way. this is an important thing to look at, these are where the fires are and these are the areas that, where people have been evacuated from and 19,000

people we know have so far had to leave, including tourists and locals as well. we've seen images of hotels that have been damaged in this area. this is rhodes market, you can see the aegean sea market here but i also want to show you some pictures from another island, this is corfu just off the coast of albania here and not far away from italy here. it's also experiencing fires. we've had these images shared on social media from people who are there. i can show you this video as well, where you can see smoke and fires burning in the distance. we know that there's been wildfires on the mainland as well but certainly, to islands tonight that i dealing with fires and many people trapped in the ensuing chaos as flights and hotels are closed and delayed. now, to today's other story. the leader of spain's conservative people's party has claimed victory in sunday's snap general election,

even though he does not have an overall majority in parliament. alberto nunez feijoo said the task fell to him to try to form a government and urged other parties not to stand in his way. the outgoing governing socialists fared better than had been predicted with the prime minister pedro sanchez claiming voters had emphatically rejected the idea of a regressive right—wing bloc. 0ur reporter sergi forcada has sent this update from madrid. this is a bittersweet victory for those who have been celebrating here at the headquarters of the popular party, the conservative party in spain. despite being the largest party and having won the election, they have fallen short of a majority. even if they got the votes of the far—right party vox, numbersjust don't really add up. the conservative leader alberto nunez feijoo has claimed victory and has said that as the largest party, he should be the new pm, but it's actually unlikely that he will be able to form a government. 0n the other hand, prime minister pedro sanchez

has also claimed victory for the whole of the left, not necessarily for his socialist party — that came second in these elections. mathematically, mr sanchez could still be elected as pm if he got all the votes from the left and also from the catalan and the basque nationalists. now, negotiations will start in the coming weeks but if no candidates have enough support in parliament to secure a majority, the country may end up going to new elections again. so, spain, which is the fourth—largest economy in the european union, has now a new parliament, but the country is still looking for their new prime minister. let's get some analysis from alana moceri — she's an international relations professor at ie university's school of politics, economics and global affairs.

thank you very much forjoining us today. what happens now? who could help feijoo achieve his goal of forming a government? well, it's difficult, right, because this election was mostly about who they would possibly partner with, which would be the very ultra right wing 1—party would be the very ultra right wing1—party but with the not having enough votes to get there, the two really key parties that have the votes are the independent parties from catalonia —— vox party. that's where it's especially difficult for the right—leaning parties because they are very adamant about keeping spain together and actually, as both the left and actually, as both the left and right are, and actually, as both the left and rightare, but and actually, as both the left and right are, but in this case very critical of these independent, separatist parties and so, it puts them in a really difficult position to actually form a government whereas it puts the left, the socialist party and the further

to the left party in a more interesting position because they have already partners with these parties, to some extent, but they have partnered with them in catalonia so the two main parties there, the right of centre party, separatist party, and the erc which is the left of centre also separatist party, the two have worked together in the past in coalition and they kinda moved apart the last year so it's all very difficult bedfellows? sure, talk to us about that potential pathway for pedro sanchez to get back into power. they talk about the pro separatist, pro—independence parties in those parts of spain that have a breakaway spirit. it must be just as difficult for him to do deals with them considering their ultimate objectives?— objectives? yeah, more difficult _ objectives? yeah, more difficult with _ objectives? yeah, more difficult with nisaki - objectives? yeah, more difficult with nisaki that j

objectives? yeah, more - difficult with nisaki that they don't want to partner with sanchez, has already worked with erc and made a lot of headway because during his last few years in the prime minister's office, he has opened up a lot of dialogue —— junts.. that's really low attentions and what's interesting about this result is that even though the pro separatist parties have lost votes and probably the least amount of votes have ever had, they are still in his king making position to work with the national parties to actually get someone into the prime minister's offers and so, really, it's perhaps the most interesting result that i can think of, it's been complicated since 2014 with now spain becoming, moving from being a 2—party system to a multi—party system like both parliamentary systems should be, but in this case it's really, it's really interesting because once again as over the years these parties from the regional areas, so

particularly catalonia and the basque country, have often been king making parties in the spanish parliament and now they are back in the driver's seat and it's going to be, it's going to be interesting to see. feijoo has his first shot and he says he gets to try to make government but he has no interest in partnering with either of those two parties and so we will see what happens. i think either way it will be a long process. it think either way it will be a long process.— think either way it will be a long process. it sure will, we will see what _ long process. it sure will, we will see what the _ long process. it sure will, we will see what the horse - long process. it sure will, we i will see what the horse trading brings. alana moceri. russia has accused ukraine of launching a drone attack against its capital moscow. the defence ministry says two drones hit non—residential buildings with one crashing close to its headquarters in the city centre. no casualties have been reported. the attack comes after ukraine said it would retaliate for a russian missile attack on the port city of 0desa on sunday which killed one person.

ukraine expects its grain exports to fall by a half after russia pulled out of an agreement to allow safe passage through the black sea. exports of grain from ukraine — one of its most important products — had already dropped by a third since the invasion began last year. moscow is demanding that restrictions are lifted on its own agricultural products and has targeted ukrainian ports with missile strikes since it withdrew from the deal. from the southern city of 0desa, our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse sent this report. a sunday ritual — a service in russian in southern ukraine. at a christian 0rthodox place of worship, 0desa's biggest cathedral, but no—one is inside. this is a place with links to moscow. this morning, it was hit by a russian missile. it's been a week since the kremlin pulled out of an agreement

which allowed ukraine to export grain through the black sea. in the time since, this port city has come under relentless attacks. teams have been working ferociously to try and clear up what they can. they say these are fragments from the missile which hit. 0desa is at the sharp end of russia's decision to pull out of this grain deal. it's a move which has far—reaching consequences. harvest in ukraine's central region. when you provide 10% of the world's grain, farming has an industrialfeel. wheat is taken to this plant, owned by one of the country's biggest producers. it has a rail line to 0desa. no point taking it there now. the company predicts ukraine will have fewer farmers. if there are fewer countries to sell grain to. samples of the wheat

are then taken for testing, for moisture and quality by technicians like yulia, who is frustrated it won't get to everyone who needs it. translation: these people probably - don't understand what hunger is. people are starving. there is a large supply but they are being denied it for no reason. this plant can hold 120,000 tonnes of grain. it is about a third full at the moment, but without the initiative it will just keep filling up. ukraine isn't going to just stop producing grain. and notjust that, sites like this have now become russian targets. it's why fears of a global food crisis have returned. it's true, not only ukrainian and farmers need it. probably every country around the world needs it. if you don't have ukrainian grain today or tomorrow, you pay more when you visit supermarkets.

a year ago russia wanted to be a solution to the problem it caused. frustrations with sanctions and its own progress on the battlefield have changed that stance. james waterhouse, bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing different stories from across the uk. time is ticking on the feminist apps pledged to inflation by the end of year to slip load answering average prices. when he made a promise inflation had been at over 10% so his target is to get it down to around five. richmond in north yorkshire is an historic market town and relies on tourism. with household budgets squeezed though the people cutting back on things like many breaks and eating out. on things like many breaks and eating out-— eating out. our occupancy levels between _ eating out. our occupancy levels between hundred i eating out. our occupancyj levels between hundred % eating out. our occupancy - levels between hundred % most nights include the weeknights

hello, good morning. greetings from adelaide. yes, i am thrilled to be here for the tournament. it is such a momentous kind of part of the women's football journey. momentous kind of part of the women's footballjourney. i am loving where football is right now. i have been a playerfor a very long time, so this is a real treat to be here and be part of this tournament. like you say, lots of firsts in the tournament. the atmosphere is amazing, the stadiums look fantastic. the crowds have been amazing and so far lots of really great, positive publicity around the sport. compare and contrast, if you will, this tournament with the last women's world cup. i wonder how you would describe the progress that's been made between the tournaments. i think certainly the lionesses winning the european championship last summer changed attitudes, raise the

profile and literally catapulted the women's game certainly in the uk to a whole new level. and of course the loinesses, to the tournament as european champions, so there is a lot of expectation around their performances and what they are going to do, but i think in comparison it isjust the crowds have got bigger, there is more scrutiny, more media interest, when you look at it compared to 2019. the question — at it compared to 2019. the question is _ at it compared to 2019. the question is how _ at it compared to 2019. the question is how you - at it compared to 2019. the question is how you keep up with momentum, how do you build on it between now and the next tournament, any thoughts and suggestions from your end? i think at some point it will plateau and level out, then my hope is that women's football just becomes normal and yes, it is great to be breaking all these records. i am super thrilled to be part of women's football in this present day when history is being made. what i look forward to is when

a football for women is just normal, just talked about, and the sport is celebrated and the quality and the skill of the players is the story. totally get that we are making history right now for the sport and of course that's going to be celebrated which i am told about but i also very much look forward to women's football being part of everyday life, everyday sport, and peoplejust accepting it for the skill and quality like they do for any other women's sport. hayley roach can — other women's sport. hayley roach can adelaide, - other women's sport. hayley roach can adelaide, founderj other women's sport. hayley i roach can adelaide, founder of rotherham united ladies fc. thanks forjoining us and sharing your excitement with us. stay with us here on bbc news. i'll be back with the top business stories in a few moments. bye—bye. hello there. the full uk forecast

in a moment — but first of all, the extreme heat continues to affect parts of the mediterranean. and later on monday, we might actually see one of europe's highest ever temperatures — 48 celsius possible to the southwest of catania. now, the significance of that is the all—time european record currently stands at 48.8, so we'll be very, very close to that. on sunday, though, here in the uk, it was a very wet day across central portions of the uk. we have 91 millimetres of rainfall in preston, 3.5 inches — that's about a month's worth. these figures only go up to saturday, but even at that stage, there were a number of places that were getting close to double thejuly average rainfall. our weather pattern, then, is a bit stuck at the moment, and it was this weather from the kind of rained off the cricket in greater manchester. the front itself is starting to push its way southwards, so the rain is going to eventually swing across wales, into the midlands and parts of east anglia, with the skies clearing behind. now for scotland, northern england, northern ireland, with those clearer skies, temperatures get down

into single figures, so it'll be quite chilly air. but underneath the front into the south, it's a relatively mild start to the day for monday. cloudy, though, with further rain — east anglia, south midlands selling hounds of england. the rain then pulls away to leave us with a day of sunny spells and showers. and, ok, the showers shouldn't last too long, there'll be large portions of the day that stay entirely dry. our temperatures a little bit below average for the time of year, but still feeling ok in thejuly sunshine. now, i think there should be a bit more of that sunshine to look forward to across england and wales, with not many showers here for tuesday. further north, though, for scotland and for northern ireland, there will be quite a few downpours developing through tuesday afternoon, so another fairly unsettled day. now, heading into wednesday and thursday, another area of low pressure will form in the atlantic and move towards our shores, so we have more rain on the cards. now wednesday, it might well be to the northeast of the uk that it stays largely dry with some sunshine. but certainly further west, the cloud will gather, outbreaks of rain will swing into northern ireland, and probably reach western parts of england, wales, and scotland.

certainly through wednesday night, it turns wet for most of us, with the rain still hanging around for thursday. might start to clear for western areas with, again, the weather brightening up. but on the whole, temperatures staying below average. the weather staying unsettled.
