6:00 pm
we will examine the shocking claims against the greek coastguard. also tonight, i'm in carmarthen, assessing the political landscape here in wales, and hearing about some of the issues that matter to people in the run—up to the general election. it comes as reform uk launch their election pledges, including on tax and immigration. and — we've been hearing about controversial plans for a huge wind and pylon project, and what people here make of it. cheering and after yesterday's victory at the euros, england and scotland prepare for their next matches. on bbc london: on bbc news who have the latest on today's matches and the euros, including the stunning win over ukraine and munich.
6:01 pm
including the stunning win over ukraine in munich. good evening. we start the programme with a bbc investigation that has uncovered shocking claims that the greek coastguard has caused the deaths of dozens of migrants in the mediterranean over a three—year period — including nine people who were deliberately thrown into the water. more than a0 people are alleged to have died as a result of being forced out of greek territorial waters, or taken back out to sea after reaching greek islands. with more on this, here's paul adams. for more than ten years, migrants escaping war, persecution or poverty have used a number of routes to reach europe. some travel from north africa to italy. others cross from turkey to the nearby greek islands. for many greece is seen as the best way into europe. last year, just over 41,000 people
6:02 pm
arrived using that route. human rights groups say thousands of people seeking asylum have been forced back, illegally, from greece to turkey. denied the right to seek asylum, something enshrined in international and eu law. tonight's documentary, made for the bbc looks into the role of the greek coastguard in trying to stem the flow. it raises some serious questions. for years, the greek authorities have been accused of taking a sometimes uncompromising attitude towards asylum seekers attempting to reach the islands. the bbc has documented some of these episodes, and heard stories of other practices which appear to breach international law. and now, video of one such episode. on the island of lesbos, a group of migrants — including women and children — are taken back to the shore and escorted by masked men to a waiting coastguard ship. the boat heads out to sea,
6:03 pm
out of greek waters. the migrants are put into a tiny life raft and set adrift, found later by the turkish authorities. greece says it's investigating. doesn't seem like it's forceful. the footage is shown to the former head of the coastguard's special operations. he says he sees nothing wrong with the video, but during a break, he takes a different line. the documentary contains other shocking allegations. ibrahim says he was shot at after coming ashore on the island of samos, taken back out to sea with two companions, and thrown overboard. the two others drowned.
6:04 pm
the greek coastguard says that it "strongly rejects all accusations of illegal activities" and works "tirelessly with the utmost professionalism, a strong sense of responsibility and respect for human life and fundamental rights", adding that they were "in full compliance with the country's international obligations". for nine years, greece has been on the front line of an issue that resonates right across europe. in this year of elections, stopping the boats remains as politically charged as it was when the refugee and migrant crisis erupted almost a decade ago. thanks, paul. and you can watch dead calm: killing in the med? tonight at 9pm on bbc two, or now on bbc iplayer. tim tojoinjane again who's in camarthen. who's in carmarthen.
6:05 pm
hello from carmarthen in south wales. we're on the road across the uk throughout this election, and tonight we're looking at the political landscape here in wales, and how it may change at the election. we've been also been asking you to get in touch and tell us about the issues you want the bbc to cover through your voice, your vote. here in wales we've been looking at green energy infrastructure and its possible impact on the rural landscape. we will hear more on that in a moment. before that, reform uk launched its manifesto today, or contract as the party calls it — the launch took place, by chance, in south wales. as well as policies on immigration, nigel farage outlined pledges on tax and the nhs. with more on that, here's our political correspondent alex forsyth.

6:09 pm
reform says it would "slash government waste" including by stopping the bank of england paying commercial banks interest — saving £35 billion per year, scrapping net—zero environmental targets — saving £30 billion per year. halving the foreign aid budget — saving £6 billion a year. economists, including those at the independent institute for fiscal studies, are doubtful about many of these claims. for instance on banking — this is complex but what you need to know is that this would effectively be a tax on the commercial banks and experts estimate it would be likely to raise less than £10 billion a year, not £35 billion. and most economists judge that the costs of the uk failing to pursue net zero will ultimately be greater than the costs of achieving it. and what about immigration? reform say they would "freeze non—essential migration" within the first 100 days. economists say this could take some
6:10 pm
pressure off housing but that it also raises the question of precisely how "non—essential" would be defined for immigration. and they caution that, interpreted strictly, this could have a negative economic impact, including on staffing public services. finally, let's put the reform manifesto in context. here's the rough size of the lib dem, labour and tory manifestos in tax and spending terms — between £7 billion and £27 billion per year. here's the greens' — £172 billion. and here's reform, £141 billion. as you can see, reform and the greens really tower over the other parties. and public finance experts feel that while individual elements of the latter two parties' plans might be coherent, they feel that overall there is a lack of credibility. jane. then, thank you. ben chu. in the upcoming election, labour will be hoping to expand their dominance in wales, while the conservatives
6:11 pm
are defending the ground they won last time. in 2019, welsh labour won 22 seats, making them the largest party despite the performance of the conservatives, who won their largest number of seats since the thatcher years with 1a. plaid cymru won four seats. but this election will be the first since a major boundary review — and that has cut the number of mps in wales from a0 to 32. our wales correspondent hywel griffith has been looking the political landscape in the run up to july 4th. at the whitland livestock market, they know all about making decisions under pressure. but when it comes to choosing who to vote for, there seems to be reticence, resentment even. you know, what government is going to help the farmers at the minute because we feel unsupported a bit. none of them are for farming, are they, really. so do you feel forgotten or marginalised?
6:12 pm
well, yeah, that's why we don't vote. brexit has changed the landscape for welsh farmers and the subsidies they receive, leaving some here angry with both the uk conservative government and the labour administration in wales. labour has been the dominant force in welsh politics for over a century. for the last 25 years, it's been the party of government in wales, responsible for health, education and agriculture. in this election, its record in power has come under real scrutiny. so has its new leader in wales, vaughan gething, who lost a vote of no confidence in the senedd, but insists he can lead labour to success. i'm confident that i can regain the trust of the senedd. i'm confident that i can do the job i've been elected to do just a few short weeks ago. and people will see the difference that we can
6:13 pm
make with two labour governments working together. yes, we're here and we're ready to start. if change is coming, the parents here in ammanford want to feel it in their pockets. the cost of living and childcare in particular can feel punishing. people are skint and my classes certainly, i've got parents on maternity leave so they are looking for ways to cut corners. what's important i to me is that we can provide for the family, and at the minute, i by the time i go back to work, it's all going on childcare. the offerforfamilies in wales is different to england, less generous, say the conservatives. we've got a labour government in wales for 25 years. they haven't done much about the cost of living standards. we've handed money over to the welsh government for things like childcare, the 30 hours of free childcare every week. that hasn't been passed on. what we have seen is millions of pounds being spent on things like the extra senedd members. take a photo from here if we can. for plaid cymru, this election is all about being seen and cutting through, trying to convince voters they can be a force in westminster.
6:14 pm
to me it's about maximising wales' voice always. we're in politics because we don't think this is as good as it gets for wales and we are in politics fighting for westminster because we need somebody to be speaking up for wales. plaid cymru will always do that. for voters here in carmarthenshire, it's almost time to pick a winner and decide who they want their voice to be. hywel griffith, bbc news, carmarthen. there's a full list of the candidates standing in the general election is available on the bbc news website. throughout this election campaign we have been asking you to contact us thorugh your voice, your vote. and tell us about the stories that matter to you. things that you feel we should be covering during this campaign. one of our viewers got in touch about a plan to build a huge wind
6:15 pm
farm in radnor forest, 60 miles north east of here, and a corridor of pylons down the tywi valley — to connect into the national grid near here in carmarthen. our correspondent colletta smith has been to speak to some of the people affected. if you come up here and look over this gate, where the fir trees are it'll run all the way through this valley. dina's been so shocked by big plans for turbines and pylons here that she got in touch with us here at the bbc. my father was brought up just over the hill. so it means a lot to us all. but i don't want my grandchildren turning round to my daughter and saying, "what did you and nana do about it?" at least i've said something. this project would take energy produced in giant turbines on a 60 mile pylon pathway spanning almost the width of wales cutting across this landscape.
6:16 pm
people come here to the upper tywi valley for the rural delights, peace and quiet, the dark skies. you use electricity, we all do, we are using more of it, we are needing more of it, it needs to come from somewhere, doesn't it? it does. carpeting the counties of rural wales with turbines is effectively curing the disease by killing the patient. wherever energy is produced, whether it's on a hill here in powys, or up in perthshire, it's connecting in to the same national energy grid in britain. that means whoever is in charge in westminster is responsible for working out the decisions about that mix of energy supply and how many points there are to connect it into the grid. industry groups say offshore energy won't be enough for wales or the uk to meet net zero targets. onshore wind is the cheapest, it's the quickest to build and it's the most readily deployable technology we have for renewable energy and we desperately need to upscale the amount of renewable
6:17 pm
energy we are producing if we are going to be anywhere near meeting our targets in the next decade. but many of those impacted don't agree. dyffryn and carys are fighting plans for two pylons in theirfields. they want the wires to go underground instead. we're stood under these oak trees that have been here hundreds of years and these plans could just destroy that. so you would be happy to have cables running under your land right through the farm? sure. they've taken a short—sighted view| and bearing in mind that the rest of us will be living with these pylons for generations to come. - this part of the world now feels suspended between britain's green energy priorities and its untouched natural beauty. and colletta's here, along with bbc wales's political editor gareth lewis.
6:18 pm
colletta, all the parties have something to say about onshore wind. they do. affording energy prices is still a huge struggle for millions of households across the uk, so energy policy is a big hot potato for whoever holds the key for number ten downing street, the 5th ofjuly. in terms of the specifics about onshore wind, the labour party say they want to work with the private sector to double the amount of onshore wind by 2030. the conservatives say that they are considering energy price cuts for people who live close to a wind farm, while the liberal democrats want to remove restrictions on the planning system for those unsure wind farms. plaid cymru and the snp both say that underdevelopment need to be balanced carefully with the environment. reform uk say it's pushing up energy bills, while the green party say unsure needs to be a significant part of that renewable targets that we have. there is no

6:21 pm
miles away, because they cannot access nhs dental care here. politically the conservatives are in power here, they have been since 2010, increasing their vote share over the past three general elections. this seat has been labour before, that was between 1997 and 2010. however, the tories today held a majority of around 70,000 or so. but could the tide here be turning? labour took control of this district council behind me in 2023, the first time since 2014.— council behind me in 2023, the first time since 2014. george, thank you. now to laura — time since 2014. george, thank you. now to laura in _ time since 2014. george, thank you. now to laura in wellingborough. i now to laura in wellingborough. good evenin: now to laura in wellingborough. good evening from — now to laura in wellingborough. good evening from northamptonshire. i am next to— evening from northamptonshire. i am next to the _ evening from northamptonshire. i am next to the river men, which weaves through— next to the river men, which weaves through the — next to the river men, which weaves through the wellingborough and rushden constituency. this town grew off the _ rushden constituency. this town grew off the back_ rushden constituency. this town grew off the back of the shoe and boot industry— off the back of the shoe and boot industry and like many market towns across _ industry and like many market towns across the _ industry and like many market towns across the country, it's struggling to attract— across the country, it's struggling to attract shoppers and businesses. until recently this county was a

6:26 pm
was the only goal of the match and it puts england at the top of their group. meanwhile scotland have been training ahead of their match against switzerland on wednesday. andy swiss reports. he isjust 20, but he is england's talisman. jude bellingham is already the fans' favourite here in germany, and you can see why. commentator: the cross, - and it's headed in by bellingham! his dazzling display brought a winning start and his very own tribute song. crowd sings. "heyjude," they chanted, to his obvious delight. i like the beatles, i listen to the beatles a lot. my style of music is a bit old, so that's right up my street. but, yeah, i really enjoy playing in front of the england fans, you know, obviously they give me a lot of appreciation, a lot of love, and i try and give that back with my performances and my energy on the pitch. this morning those who didn't play yesterday were training at england's base in blankenhain, while who did recovered from an often nervy experience. serbia made them sweat. oh, great save, jordan pickford!
6:27 pm
and the travelling fans know they will need to improve. especially when you look at all the teams and how they've come into the tournament and how they've started, it wasn't quite reassuring to see how we've started. but, look, a win's a win. and that's the most important thing. i think it was always going to be a tough game, as well. so, yeah, that's. .. we're top of the group and in a good position. well, for england supporters here it was a tricky night off the pitch too. many of them struggled to leave the stadium after the game because of transport problems. they'll be hoping their next match against denmark on thursday is an altogether more comfortable experience. scotland, meanwhile, are preparing to face switzerland and they're hoping to forget this. after that 5—1 thumping by germany, can they rediscover their feel—good factor? certainly for scotland supporters, you know, we feel that _ disappointment as well. but, you know, i think they can see it's a real genuine side here, - with lads that want to give their

|all for their country, and that's| what they will continue today. and that's what they will continue to do. - one game gone, then, but for scotland and england, two very different results as their euros hopes now face a pivotal week. andy swiss, bbc news, gelsenkirchen. time for a look at the weather. here's sarah keith—lucas. we have had a few showers around today but actually warm sunshine in the south has lifted the temperatures as high as 23, so the weather has been improving a bit out there today, fairly dry and settled weather over the next few days but not everywhere, an area of low pressure around the bay of biscay is going to edge its way in close to the south—east of england for a time through the day tomorrow. this evening and tonight, still a few showers for the parts of eastern england and scotland, they clear away fairly quickly, still cloudy with one or two spots of light rain across northern scotland but clear skies elsewhere, temperatures about eight to 12 for most of us to start the day tomorrow. a lot of dry weather i think through tuesday morning, but rain initially down
6:29 pm
towards the channel isles will push its way through the english channel to the far south—east, so likely to affect perhaps east sussex and kent, could be a bit further north or south, most other places looking right across southern england, a few showers for northern england, perhaps one or two for antrim and down, and some cropping up through central scotland as well. further north, chilly across the north of scotland, breeze coming from the north, bringing cloud and one or two spots of rain in the far north. the bulk of the showers will be down the spine of the country, from highland through the pennines, most other places looking largely dry. top temperatures looking 15 to 21, again a bit colder across the north of scotland. heading to the middle of the week, this ridge of high pressure builds its way in from the atlantic, so it will squeeze away most of the weather fronts and most of the showers for wednesday. so a fair amount of sunshine on offer. a bit more cloud working in from the north—west, where it will turn breeze with a few spots of rain later in the day, but in the sunshine elsewhere, warmer than it has been, top temperatures in the
