the next presidential election — even though his legal troubles continue to mount. thousands expected on the streets of liverpool, as the city hosts pride on behalf of ukraine. and plastic fantastic — barbie�*s box office success story goes on — the film has now earned half—a—billion dollars. hello, welcome to the programme, i am rich preston. here in the uk, up to 20,000 rail workers in the rmt union are taking part in their latest strike today, in the long—running dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions. it's the second consecutive weekend of industrial action on the railways. just over half of the usual services are expected to run across the network. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin has this report. for the second saturday in a row, some of the 14 affected train
10:01 am
operators are running very limited services. after more than a year of industrial action, many people have got used to changing their plans or found other ways of travelling on strike days. but hospitality businesses say they're still feeling the impact. every time there is a strike day, we do see trade fall off a cliff in certain parts of the country, certainly towns and city centres. you know, the last week we've had sort of three strike days that affect the rail. we've had an overtime ban during the course of that week. we know that we've lost around £340 million worth of sales across the uk. now it's getting better. we are seeing more trade coming through and being sustained, but it's still down at least 30 to 40% each time we have a strike day and cumulatively over the course of the year, that's more than 5.5 billion of sales that the industry has lost. right now, there aren't any more full strikes in the diary, and unions have to give two weeks notice of action.
10:02 am
but further walkouts are very possible. and after today's strike by rail workers in the rmt, the train drivers�* union azlef has two more overtime bans coming up at 15 operators from this monday until saturday, the 5th of august, and again from monday, the 7th to saturday the 12th of august. those are likely to mean disruption in some places. the rmt and aslef rejected the train compa ny�*s latest offers back in the spring, which set out changes to ways of working in exchange for pay increases. government ministers and the industry continue to insist their proposals were fair and have given no indication they'll change them. there's going to be a wide variation of disruption that customers will face across the country, and there'll be in some areas no service at all. and another is only around half of the service that people would normally expect, with some trains starting later and finishing earlier than they would do normally. so i'd really encourage customers to check before they travel, before setting out tomorrow. clearly, we've been negotiating with the leadership of the rmt
10:03 am
for over a year now and it's real... it's a real shame that the offer that we made to them worth 13% in terms of an increase in pay for the lowest paid has not been put to their membership, which would have brought this industrial dispute to an end. when it comes to the disputes on the railway, it feels like we're still far from the end of the line. katy austin, bbc news. live now to louisa pilbeam, who's at the euston picket line. very quiet where you are, not the usual picture of euston station on a saturday morning?— saturday morning? absolutely. definitely not _ saturday morning? absolutely. definitely not the _ saturday morning? absolutely. definitely not the usual- saturday morning? absolutely. l definitely not the usual situation down here at london euston. there are people here, but it is definitely not as busy as it would normally be, and those who are here are welcome comic waiting for the few trains that are running. there are trains going on the board here,
10:04 am
people's eyes are fixed on that, because the trains are running to the main cities in the uk, manchester, birmingham, liverpool, glasgow, but they aren't running very frequently, and as you heard, around half the trains are cancelled. in terms of the unions and the government, they are not around the table talking, and the rmt's around the table talking, and the rmt�*s mick lynch has said that this isn'tjust rmt�*s mick lynch has said that this isn't just about pay, rmt�*s mick lynch has said that this isn'tjust about pay, but rmt�*s mick lynch has said that this isn't just about pay, but there rmt�*s mick lynch has said that this isn'tjust about pay, but there are other things to isn'tjust about pay, but there are other things t— isn'tjust about pay, but there are otherthinuust , ~ ., �* other things to considered. we don't know when it — other things to considered. we don't know when it is _ other things to considered. we don't know when it is going _ other things to considered. we don't know when it is going to _ other things to considered. we don't know when it is going to end, - other things to considered. we don't know when it is going to end, we - know when it is going to end, we have _ know when it is going to end, we have got— know when it is going to end, we have got a — know when it is going to end, we have got a government that will negotiate, we are available at any time to— negotiate, we are available at any time to negotiate, but the government is in control and when the train _ government is in control and when the train operating company speak to us, and _ the train operating company speak to us, and they are not allowing them to come _ us, and they are not allowing them to come back to the table with revisions — to come back to the table with revisions to the proposals. where available — revisions to the proposals. where available to do that, but at the moment— available to do that, but at the moment we have a situation where cuts are _ moment we have a situation where cuts are being imposed, 2300 drop cuts, _ cuts are being imposed, 2300 drop cuts, every— cuts are being imposed, 2300 drop cuts, every booking office —— job cuts _

10:06 am
really easy to get a spot, because she feels that from the people she's been speaking to them that they are just not making these big trips when they know that this action is taking place. it is affecting people's lives. i wouldn't say from the people we've spoken to today that there is anger here or growing anger about the fact that this has been going on for a year will stop it is actually the people are resigned to finding other ways to get around. thank you very much. meanwhile, the port of dover has warned that people travelling to continental europe are having to wait up to two hours to clear border controls. it's asking travellers to be patient and please check with their ferry operator for information on next sailings. wildfires have left a trail of destruction across parts of southern europe and the mediterranean. in greece, emergency services have tried to prevent new wildfires in the central area of magnesia. fires there triggered explosions at an air force ammunition depot on thursday.

to the us, and donald trump has been setting out why he thinks he should be the republican party candidate for next year's presidential election at a fund—raising event in the us state of iowa. mr trump has already insisted he will still run for office, even if he's convicted of any of the criminal charges he currently faces. 0ur north american editor sarah smith was at the event. there are about 1,200 republican supporters in this ballroom this evening, listening to all the different republican candidates trying to decide who they should support for the republican nomination. but of course, the night was dominated by one man. and, of course, that one man was donald trump. this is the first speech he's given since the new criminal charges were unveiled against him. he's a man whose legal problems just keep piling up and up and never seem to stop. but he won't let that deter him. and he didn't tonight. i mean, this was not the best speech he's ever given. he was rushing through his script, trying to stick to the ten—minute time limit. but nonetheless, he still grabbed everybody�*s attention and did what he always does best.
10:11 am
made it all about him. that's what all these other candidates are up against, what they're trying to compete with. one of the lesser known candidates, former congressman will hurd, well, he dared to say the only reason donald trump is running for president is to try and stay out of prison. well, he nearly got booed off the stage for that. ron desantis, well, he got a very enthusiastic reception, in fact, and he approached the whole issue rather differently. he didn't say donald trump's name, but he did say that if he's elected president, he would end the weaponization of the federal government and fire the director of the fbi. that's his way of saying to trump supporters, "look, iagree "with you that the charges against donald trump are politically "motivated, but i'm still the guy that you should elect to put "in charge of all of this." but, you know, when he's having to make that case, it still means this race is all about donald trump, who is still very clearly the front runner in the polls and very much the man that all the other

10:21 am
group d, they got three points in the bag against denmark, but it came at a price of a serious —looking injury to keira walsh in the first half. she left the mansion are straight back stretcher, and were seen later on crutches. england were not the same team without her. she is so integral to how they play, everything goes to her. she is one of the best holding midfielders in the world. they will be hoping now it is not as bad as it looked, but we still don't have an update yet on the extent of that injury. it is a shame, because i was much to be positive about england's performance against denmark, particularly around laurenjames. when that team sheet dropped in sydney, there was a lot of excitement to see her name in the starting line up in herfirst major tournament. it is a big call from sarina wiegman, and it paid off within six minutes, whenjames scored an incredible goal that proved to be the winner. not much was known about james outside of england in the build—up to this tournament, but she broke into the team after the euros. england knew they have something special there.
10:22 am
it is thought she could be hurt their secret weapon at this tournament. the secret is very much out of the bag now. england, two wins from two, in terms of results the perfect start, but it's not enough yet to get them through to the last 16. they still need to avoid defeat against china in their final group match. 0ne avoid defeat against china in their final group match. one other bit of news to bring you from australia, for the world cup, sam kerr announced again that she is available for selection for the matildas. she missed the opening two games of the calf injury that she sustained on the eve of the tournament. it was a massive blow to them at the time. she is the poster girl for this world cup. she is now backin girl for this world cup. she is now back in some capacity. it's not clear what part she was able to play, but she says she has done every thing in our power to be able to be fit. she is deftly fit and available for selection, and that will be a huge boost for australia, because it is a must win game against canada if they are able to keep their hopes for this tournament

10:26 am
of low pressure that's dominating at the moment. and around it, we have these showers coming in on that stronger breeze as well. mostly showers closer to the low. so scotland and northern ireland seeing heavier, more frequent showers with some thunder. some heavy showers could push into the far north of england. but further south, the showers will prove to be rather hit and miss. it will be quite breezy. so the showers will move through fairly quickly, but the temperatures will be limited to 18 or 19 in the west, up to around 21 or 22 in eastern areas. for the test match today, the greatest risk of showers will be early on through the morning session, perhaps around lunchtime. the weather should improve, the cloud breaking up, more and more sunshine coming through. and for many parts of england, wales late afternoon into the evening will be dry and sunny. but further north, those showers will continue. they'll still be around overnight, maybe even longer spells of rain for scotland, northern ireland increasing into northern parts of england. temperatures come the end of the night, first thing on sunday morning, typically 12 or 13 degrees. but we start with a lot of showers in scotland,
10:27 am
northern ireland and northern england. now through the day they should become fewer. there'll be some spells of sunshine for a while, but the cloud comes in from the atlantic, that brings patchy rain into wales, the south west through the morning, perhaps extending through parts of the midlands into south east england in the afternoon. so too across northern ireland. that of course will limit the temperatures and on the whole temperatures may be slightly lower even than what we are seeing today. now we're seeing this cooler, wetter weather because the jet stream is further south than it would normally be at this time of the year. and the jet stream is pushing in those areas of low pressure from the atlantic, bringing more wind and rain. now, eventually, the next area of low pressure will move away out into scandinavia and that will introduce a northerly breeze which will bring even cooler air. so as we head into the start of august, you'd expect it to be turning a bit warmer and a bit drier, but that is not going to be the case. temperatures, if anything, may be dropping a little bit further and we've got showers or longer spells of rain never too far away.
