we are going to take a tube bordeaux very quickly. king charles and queen camilla are on board one of porto�*s trams, as part of the three—day state visit. they have just left hms iron duke. this is theirfinal day of their visit. hms iron duke has docked in bordeaux. they paid a visit to the french defence minister. they then made as short walk to the tramway, boarded the tram. you can see the crowds that have been creating them at every stop, every visit they have. it is a very short trip, about five minutes. but bordeaux's trams, it is an

electric tram, and they have been accompanied on the journey by the mayor of bordeaux. 130 trams in the city of bordeaux. very sleek, very modern, which is why the hope was for the royal couple to experience it. it is within the capital, and ancient capital. it has been at the forefront of transit technology and innovation for more than 135 years. there are four lines as part of this tramway service, around 77 kilometres of tracks and 130 stations, all forming the backbone of the transport network. i think this is why the royal couple have been on board the tram, bordeaux is

one of the world's only tram systems that doesn't have overhead cables. it uses an aps system, a ground—level power supply system. the connection with bordeaux goes back to charles�*s 12th century ancestor, and is still home to around 39,000 british expats. earlier in the day he had visited a vineyard, one of bordeaux's very famous, very exclusive vineyards. the reason was that this vineyard is organic, and with king charles�*s organic, and with king charles�*s organic credentials, it made it very obvious destination him. so once he has created some of the people, the

crowds and the families that have come out to meet him and the queen. i do apologise, the camera is swinging around. he will also, we understand, go on to visit one of france's unesco world heritage sites and he will also be visiting a forest site. this again just ties in very nicely with king charles, because they are testing climate change methodology. also speaking to some of the firefighters that have battled the wildfires in the region. you can't really see them in the crowd. let's move on.

as ukraine faces a second winter of war, it's suffering heavy losses on the battlefield. the military does not release figures for those killed and injured, but the bbc has been given access to one of the main hospitals receiving casualties from the frontlines. doctors there have treated more than 20,000 wounded soldiers since russia's full—scale invasion in february 2022 — many of them, amputees. from south—eastern ukraine, our international correspondent 0rla guerin reports. sirens wail under a blanket of darkness, the wounded are brought in. on arrival, each one is numbered. each one, a husband, a father or a son. this is the pain of a generation. staff here treat 50 to 100 new casualties every day. another badly wounded soldier has just been brought in. he's in his 20s, and one of his legs

has already been amputated. this is where you can see the cost of the war, the cost for soldiers, the cost for ukraine. and there's no let—up, the casualties keep coming. ukraine now has an army of amputees. in the first six months of this year alone, a staggering 15,000 have lost limbs. most are fighters, like patient 159, viacheslav, who has lost a leg. dr 0ksana and her colleagues have comforted many like him. translation: we talk- to them, we cheer them up, we hold their hands, we feed them. if it's a young man, i treat him like my son. 0urfrontline is right here in the hospital. we do our duty.

that means doing surgery around the clock, trying to repair bodies mangled by landmines and shells. they have 50 operating rooms here, but say it's not enough. for the hospital director, the wounded are more than patients. "you are a hero," says dr sergey. 0lexi is 38 and, days before, lost both of his legs. translation: the in'uries are very severe. h i'm very glad that 0lexi survived. this was caused by a mine explosion. unfortunately, his friends are no longer alive.

do you see many patients with severe injuries like this? "all," he says. "war is frightening," says 0lexi. "only a fool wouldn't be scared. what more can i say? bullets whistle. mines explode. sometimes, there's panic." and sometimes, there's trauma that cannot be put into words. horror that cannot be unseen. more than 20,000 injured soldiers have passed through these doors in europe's newest war — a conveyor belt of broken bodies — and 2,000 of them

have been amputees. even when the fighting is over, for many, the battle will last a lifetime. 0rla guerin, bbc news, south—eastern ukraine. canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau has urged india to cooperate with the investigation into the killing of a sikh activist in canada. hardeep singh nijjar was shot dead in british columbia injune. 0ur reporter yasmin khatun dewan has more from the newsroom on the deepending row between the two countries over the murder. on monday, canadian prime minister justin trudeau said canada was investigating credible allegations about potential involvement of indian government agents in the murder of hardeep singh nijjar, claims he's repeated on the sidelines of the un general assembly. india has responded to the allegations, calling them absurd. nijjar backed demands for a separate homeland for sikhs.

his supporters say he was a peaceful activist, though india designated nijjar a terrorist in 2020. he was shot dead outside a sikh temple in british columbia on 18th june, some three months ago. before prime minister trudeau made the allegations concerning nijjar�*s death, the two leaders met at the g12 in delhi, where they are thought to have had a tense meeting. india has now stopped issuing visas to canadian citizens hours after canada announced it was reducing its personnel in india. india's external affairs ministry said visas had been suspended because the diplomatic unit in canada had been receiving threats. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. friday has turned into a sunshine and showers day, with a noticeably cool feel. tonight is going to be a rather chilly one, but through the weekend it will turn warmer. wind and rain arriving for many

and the main driver of the weather over the weekend will be this swirl of cloud, which you can see on our earlier satellite picture. this is ex—hurricane nigel. it's going to feed into this deep area of low pressure. that's going to bring some pretty heavy rain across northern and western parts, some brisk winds, but with the winds coming up from the south temperatures will start to climb. for the time being, though, winds are coming down from the north, so that's why it feels quite cool out there. a mix of sunny spells and showers, although generally quite a lot of cloud across scotland this afternoon. temperatures north to south 12 to 18 degrees. through this evening and tonight, most of the showers will fade. we could just see this band of cloud and showery rain grazing the east coast, but elsewhere, under those clear skies, we will see a few mist and fog patches and it will turn into really quite a chilly night. many spots down into single digits. it could well get down below freezing in parts of the highlands. that means, though, quite a lot of sunshine to start tomorrow morning, but we will see more high clouds

streaming in from the west turning that sunshine hazy and then thicker cloud getting into northern ireland, west wales, the south—west of england, with some rain later in the afternoon. the winds starting to pick up. temperatures between 12 and 18 degrees north to south. during saturday night, we will see this frontal system moving its way in. it's going to become very slow moving across the western side of the uk, so that means some quite heavy bursts of rain as we head through the day on sunday. further south and east, actually parts of east anglia and the south—east of england likely to stay largely dry with some sunshine. with those southerly winds starting to develop, it will start to feel just a little bit warmer. however, those winds will really be strengthening, particularly around coasts and hills. in the west, we could see wind gusts of 50mph to 60mph and some very heavy rain through sunday evening, perhaps most especially across the western side of scotland, where there could be enough rain for some localised flooding and travel disruption. as we head into next week, it does look decidedly unsettled.

showers or longer spells of rain at times and it will often be pretty windy.
