hello. to the uk now, and headteachers in england are in a race this weekend to find ways to reopen their schools after being told to shut buildings made with unsafe concrete. many from the 104 affected schools are busy rejigging timetables, seeking alternative classrooms and trying to rent temporary toilets. frances read reports. the crumbling of a concrete that simply wasn't made to last raac was a post—war solution, now causing a headache for 21st century britain. more than 100 schools in england have been told they need to close. labour has announced it will force the government to reveal a complete list of affected schools, and now calls for transparency on the scale of the problem and for fast solutions.

it's been known for a while. what we've also known for a while is that there's been a real squeeze on school funding. my committee again has highlighted that repeatedly. and when you don't invest in maintenance and improvements in schools, you get these problems arising. but with raac it's a systemic failure of the actual material used to build them. court buildings and hospitals, too, among those impacted. and internal nhs documents obtained by the sunday times suggest hospitals could be at risk of catastrophic collapse. the concerns about this have been swirling around for so long. truss had been trying to cope with the safety risks associated with raac for a long time and really to remedy the situation. action can't come too soon. the department for education said it was vital that schools are given time to inform parents and consider their next steps, and that it was grateful to school and college leaders for their work to make sure that disruption

is kept to a minimum. the department of health and social care also said that the nhs has a mitigation plan in place for hospital buildings with confirmed raac, and that it remained committed to eradicating raac from the nhs estate entirely by 2035. schools in scotland, wales and northern ireland are also being assessed. in scotland, raac has been detected in 35 schools, but first minister humza yousaf said he has no plans to close any schools in the short term. the problem is there's no exact record of where raac was used. it's this failure, some argue, that means some buildings remain unsound. francis read bbc news. with more on this, i'm joined by our political reporter, tony bonsignore. yes, nancy. this is obviously a deep

concern for millions of parents, wondering whether their children are going to go back to school this week. the government telling us this is only a minority of schools and pupils that were affected. but it is clear we don't have the full scale of this. there are big political questions for the government to answer. not least, given that this is a problem that has been known about for many many years, the immediate prompt for this was a problem at a school back in 2018. but given this has been known about for so long, why is it the key question now, this only changing guidance that means some schools are short, why did that only happened a few days ago, just days before pupils return? that was a question that we put to jeremy pupils return? that was a question that we put tojeremy hunt, the chancellor, who was on sunday with laura kuenssberg just about an hour ago. here is what he had to say.

what i also want to say, as chancellor, to parents is that we will spend what it takes to sort out this problem as quickly as possible. so do you commit to covering whatever costs are required to remove all of this dangerous concrete from schools around the country? we will spend what it takes to make sure that children can go to school safely, yes. and parents should know that. they should also know that we won't take any risks with their children's safety. so when new information comes to light, however awkward or difficult it is, we will act to make sure their children are safe. and this problem is currently affecting around 100 schools, but the majority of those are able to operate face—to—face. we will deal with them extremely quickly, i know this is what the education secretary is doing, but also, parents need to know we want to take risks, because this is too important. so the argument there is that as soon as he became aware of these particular problems, we acted, we

acted out of a utmost caution for people's safety. but as i say, this has been known about for a while. if you look at the houses of parliament website, you will see that this has been brought up dozens of times. there was a debate on it in just may on school building safety. and this issue of raac, this particular set of concrete in particular. now, labour going on the attack on this, they are saying this is the result of 13 years of underinvestment. and also, casting questions about the competence of this government. these were points made on the same programme. with the shadow education secretary, bridget phillipson, again, aboutan secretary, bridget phillipson, again, about an hour ago. first time callin: on again, about an hour ago. first time calling on the _ again, about an hour ago. first time calling on the government _ again, about an hour ago. first time calling on the government to - again, about an hour ago. first time| calling on the government to publish the full_ calling on the government to publish the full list of the schools that are affected. we don't fully know what _ are affected. we don't fully know what is _ are affected. we don't fully know what is going on under the covenant are prepared to do it, we will first the vote _

what are the evidence is. why they acted when they did. they have a series of attack ads already running today. this is becoming deeply political. it is an issue for children. many of whom will have been affected deeply by home schooling during covert. the government has said this isn't like covid at all. even though a small number of children are affected, they will only be home—school for a number of days. there clearly is frustration. have a listen to this. this is of the children's commissionerfor this is of the children's commissioner for england. we are in this mess and we need safety— we are in this mess and we need safety for— we are in this mess and we need safety for every child. i am concerned about children in special schools. _ concerned about children in special schools, children who are looked after. _ schools, children who are looked after, making sure they are communicated with. making sure they can start _ communicated with. making sure they can start school. we have learned from _ can start school. we have learned from their— can start school. we have learned from their covid pandemic, the worst thin- from their covid pandemic, the worst thing we _ from their covid pandemic, the worst thing we did — from their covid pandemic, the worst thing we did was keep children away from school. we need children to be

summer for them to actually publish the list that everyone is talking about that still isn't published. we were caught off—guard, we went expecting the announcement, it seems to be linked to yet another collapse ever building. this is a long—term problem. the government have known this for awhile. the for education said that it should be taking back £7 billion to do the necessary work to improve schools. we know that they eventually put in but the treasury didn't give them enough. less than half of the necessary money has been allocated to the department for education. 0n money has been allocated to the department for education. on that, you can see that it is going to be coming on the back of ten years of austerity which has meant it is really difficult for schools to catch up. we know that about 2a,000 school buildings are not up to standard. . , . school buildings are not up to standard. ., , ., , , ., standard. that is a big number. you reresent standard. that is a big number. you

that we need to do something similar for this. a real concern is potentially where we have asbestos and raac in the same place. because what it could mean is that if you do need to do work, at the moment, asbestos everlasting place, you leave it because you don't want to disturb it. if we now have to do extra building work that could mean that not only do you end up disturbing asbestos, but also it will cost considerably more because you are having to take asbestos into account. fix. you are having to take asbestos into account. . ., ., . account. a ma'or concern there. thank account. a ma'or concern there. thank you — account. a ma'or concern there. thank you for— account. a major concern there. thank you for talking _ account. a major concern there. thank you for talking to - account. a major concern there. thank you for talking to us. - president volodymyr zelensky has promised that those who have plundered ukraine will be held accountable after the ukrainian billionaire businessman, ihor kolomoisky, was held on suspicion of fraud and money laundering. a ukrainian court ruled on saturday that kolomoisky will be held in custody for two months. the businessman is alleged to have transfered14 million dollars abroad using banks he controlled. his lawyers say he will appeal

against the court order. mr zelensky made reference to the case in his regular evening address, although he did not name mr kolomoisky out right, and its understood that the tycoon was once a powerful backer of the president. translation: achieving democracy will no doubt be difficult, _ one of the greatest values in europe, but without a doubt, we will no longer tolerate what have been decades of business as usual for those who have plundered ukraine and put themselves above our laws. and i thank the law enforcement officers for their determination to bring cases, that have stalled for decades, to a just conclusion. the law must work. it is so. it must be so. glory to ukraine. in the us, more than 70—thousand people have been stranded at the famous burning man festival in the desert state of nevada, due to rare rainstorms that turned

the event into a mudbath. slippery conditions in nevada's black rock desert prompted a ban on people leaving the site due to dangerous driving conditions. they've have been warned to shelter in place. ashley smith, an investment bankerfrom london, managed to get out of the burning man festival by trapsing across the muddy desert, hejoins me now. good to talk to you. tells about your daring escape.— your daring escape. yes, so basically — your daring escape. yes, so basically it _ your daring escape. yes, so basically it has _ your daring escape. yes, so basically it has been - your daring escape. yes, so basically it has been raining j your daring escape. yes, so - basically it has been raining how don't know how long. last night it rained all night. today a bit more. i woke up this morning and the entire desert is probably two inches deep of water, and then below that, three inches of mud. no car can get out, the police are stopping everybody. but it is an open desert, so me and five friends we needed to get to work tomorrow and so we just

0nly lie silently staring at the people who still have some food. more than 100 people set out from this village on a wooden fishing boat aiming for the canary islands. but they got hopelessly lost. 63 died on the way, including adama's brother and his two cousins. translation: every time somebody i died, i thought i would be next. i at first we said a prayer for each dead person and put their body into the ocean. later, we just threw the bodies into the water because we didn't even have the energy to pray. we just needed to get rid of the corpses. back in the village, after a week with no news, relatives of the migrants began to panic. adama's mother feared something was terribly wrong. transltion: the whole

village was worried, - wondering if our family members were lost. everybody was becoming stressed. i got sick because of the situation and couldn't eat. other members of the family are in mourning. she lost her brother, adama's, cousin, to the sea. translation: when we learned that the boat had been found, i i thought my brother was coming home. but then they said he was among those who had died in the water. my brother always taught me that if i study hard, i will become successful. when i got married, the first thing he asked me was, "are you going to finish your studies?" i miss him so much. people here will tell you that two of every three boats that leaves is never heard from again. and yet it is clear that even a tragedy as grave as this one is not going to stop others from taking the same risk. translation: i'm - thinking about leaving.

right now it is all i'm thinking about. and this tragedy will not stop people here from going. we are trying to find solutions to support our families. almost everyone here is connected to someone who went on this boat. for adama and his mother, there is some relief, but so many others have joined a painful cycle of loss. joel gunter, bbc news in senegal. lets ta ke lets take you live in outer mongolia where pope francis is holding a holy mass. those are the live pictures of air. this is his first—ever visit to the country, now there is a very small community of catholics are there. less than 1500 catholics in there. less than 1500 catholics in the country. the vatican hopes that their country can play a strategic role in smoothing out its strained relations with mongolia's southern neighbour, china. this visit, of

willing to use violence to get the items that they need. i think retail stores have got a stand—off policy which means that if faced with violence, you must back off. shoplifters know this so they will act violently to get you out of the way. and rightly so. there is not a product that is worth getting hurt for. there is an organised crime element as well. they will do anything they need to get the products that they want. and then, to make it even more complex, recently we are seeing a real increase in youth gang violence when large amounts of youths are going into stores and rushing stores and committing crime, disrupting and violence. there is very little we can do about that. the violence. there is very little we can do about that.— violence. there is very little we can do about that. the boss of tesco is sa in: can do about that. the boss of tesco is saying that — can do about that. the boss of tesco is saying that there _ can do about that. the boss of tesco is saying that there needs _ can do about that. the boss of tesco is saying that there needs to - can do about that. the boss of tesco is saying that there needs to be - is saying that there needs to be tougher laws to combat this. do you think that will make a difference, especially given, as you say, the cost of living crisis, all of these things that are contributing to what we are seeing here? yes. things that are contributing to what we are seeing here?— we are seeing here? yes, i think it

this is the first tropical storm to hit taiwan in four years. typhoon haikui is expected to bring heavy rain and sustained wind speeds of more than 140 kilometres per hour. taiwan's in two main domestic airlines have cancelled all of their flights for sunday. stay with us here on bbc news. i will have the headlines for you injust here on bbc news. i will have the headlines for you in just a short while. hello there. it was a rather misty and murky start to the day. we had some quite dense fog patches first thing this morning, but much of that has tended to lift up and clear away. and for many of us, we've got some sunshine out there. this was the scene a bit earlier on in cheshire, some lovely blue skies, a bit of cloud over the hills in the distance. and its higher pressure which is going to keep things settled and drier today for most of us, just this weather front affecting the far north of scotland. some outbreaks of rain

at times and a rather brisk south—westerly wind here as well. the rain will continue on and off across the far north and north west of scotland into the afternoon. elsewhere, though, lots of blue skies and sunshine, just a bit of cloud around the irish sea there lapping into the coast there of cumbria, lancashire, a bit of cloud also around the english channel. but for most, dry, sunny and warm. temperatures, 23 to 26 celsius, a bit cooler further north and west, 16 to 18 degrees in north western scotland. and that's where the cloud will continue overnight tonight. elsewhere, though, with the clear skies, the light winds, we will once again see some dense fog patches developing across central and southern areas. temperatures, generally speaking, in double figures. but it could be a bit chilly, i think, to start off on monday morning across northern areas of england. but as we start the new working week, more dry, more sunny weather in the forecast. the mist and fog will clear away. lots of blue skies and sunshine. still, though, that cloud affecting the far north west of scotland, still a bit breezy here. a few spots of rain into the northern isles i think into the afternoon. a warmer day, though, temperatures 25 degrees in aberdeen, 25 to 28 celsius quite widely

across england and wales. tuesday, more of the same, but perhaps that cloud across northern scotland is reduced slightly. so there will be a bit more in the way of sunshine coming through here and it will be a drier day. lots of sunshine elsewhere and again, temperatures widely in the mid to high 20s, although with a change in wind direction across scotland, not quite as warm or hot across eastern scotland. but as we go into the middle part of next week, even warmer air will start to move its way in from the near continent, the humidity rising with that as well. so there will be some fairly uncomfortable nights going into next week. but widely across england and wales, temperatures mid to high 20s, perhaps 30 celsius in some parts, where scotland and northern ireland are still fine with some sunshine and temperatures in the low 20s. bye— bye.
