3:07 pm
piney margin disinterest. there was some friends in the sort of more middle offer own party. so m all this is under way and they want to really manage this until the summer vacations and parliament. thence down, we don't know whether it will work, but that is the aim, of course. what they do not want as far as johnson, clinging on and staying there in downing street over the summer vacations, creating a political vacuum. thank you for the analysis barbara visa in london. after winning a majority of resounding majority at last you k election and december 2019 bars johnson last a just 3 years as prime minister. back then he stood on a platform to get brakes done. but long before he became leader, he made no secret of the fact that he wanted to talk job in british politics. in hindsight, forest johnson's fate was predestined. as the maverick mayor of london, he relished chaos. getting stuck on
3:08 pm
a zip wire and barging his way around the world. this time, taking out a school boy in japan. it was all part of a carefully constructed image that he hoped would lead to beggar things. and when britain debated its membership of the european union, he seized his chance, flying the flag for the leave campaign at take back control of this country and our democracy and our economy. after that success downing street seemed inevitable. but he would have to wait another 3 years before ousting theresa. may i have just been to see her majesty the queen. however breton, were still fiercely debated over europe with
3:09 pm
what aiden johnson called an election and was back to his own stunts. the voters lapped it up, sending him back to downing street with an 80 seat majority. he promised to we make written one months later, hoover 19 struck. i've developed mild symptoms over the corona virus. that's to say he was hospitalized. and the pandemic forced him to get tough with the public. if you don't follow the rules, the police will have the powers to him at leech or a marriage. he had defied his own advice with allegations of numerous parties in his offices, including this garden get together. while the country was in locked down. the pressure on him grew by the weak. is he now go to do the decent thing
3:10 pm
and resign the name of god go. throughout his career, morris johnson played by his own rules. in the end, it was that which led to his downfall to the war in ukraine. now russia says, one of its warplanes struck ukraine. snake island in the black sea of a night ukrainian troops claim to have raised their flag over the outpost. after declaring full control of the once crushers began, stepping up its assault on the neighboring, done, yet screeching. the city of science has become a main target for russian shelling, but other towns across ukraine's east are also being bombarded missiles destroyed a university in ha, if ukrainian forces at digging in official se western supplied weapons and making a difference. he w cars on an expiring keith, explain to me the back and forth of a snake island and the russian offensive in the dumbass sherburne. well, stake island 1st off is strategically irrelevant and symbolically hugely important
3:11 pm
for the russians. it would appear. this is the island from which the beginning of the war, ukrainian soldiers told a russian warship to go do something to itself. ah, they were captured, the war ship was later sunk. it was the moscow. it was the flagship of the russian black c fleet. so this became very symbolic, that island, all of a sudden russian soldiers were deployed to it. they came under heavy ukrainian fire, and ultimately they left the island on the 30th of june and vladimir putin, the russian president said this was a symbolic gesture in order to facilitate the shipment of grain from the port of odessa. but it's one step of about 10 that need to be taken before that happens. it just looked like it was an indefensible island. it's close to bulgaria. so that messaging really from the kremlin is to suggest through only about 2 or 3 people allegedly killed. that, you know, russia is winning important symbolic victories, that strategically relevant the rest of the war as you just described, taking place in the east of the country where the ukrainians have repositioned
3:12 pm
themselves in order to defend the next province. pretty got giving up on the hads. avoiding getting caught in the cauldron, the russians were trying to capture them within, in order to capture soldiers to kill as many as possible. so taking up positions to defend the strategically important towns of soviets in particular. president lynch, he says heavy weapons from the west are now working at full capacity. let's listen in to body. had to say that is to be july efficient, usable. finally, we can feel that the western artillery, the weapons we received from our partners, have started working very effectively yet the accuracy is exactly what is needed. losing our defenders inflict very noticeable strikes on depots and other locations that are important for the occupy as logistics. and this significantly reduces the offensive potential of the russian army sport. their losses will only increase every week as will the difficulty of supplying them will stay. nick, how much of
3:13 pm
a difference will these western weapons make? i think the ukranian president can, can be believed in this instance because the new weapons that are coming in art, as many as you cranes have been asking for, but they're far more accurate to the weapons they've been using so far. at the american made high mars missile system is accurate to within one meter, the russians and ukrainians are using systems that are accurate within 500 meters. which is to say that if the ukrainians need to hit big stash of, you know, how it's or shells, which is what they're targeting, when they're talking about depos, they can take it out. and that's important because the russians have been pretty basically putting into practice stalins or victim quantity has a quality all of its own. so they've just been shelling and shelling and shelling indiscriminately. and that's how they've been able to advance if you take out those weapons supplies that it really puts the russians on the back foot, been exploited there and keep with an update on the war and ukraine. thank you. some other stories making use

3:18 pm
a ward take place or was it was it done? at amazon, he has had enough of war. he now only has one wish, and that is a safe home to return to more than 40 people were killed in one of italy's was transport disasters almost 4 years ago or on the bridge collapse in genoa in northern italy. now $59.00 people are facing charges. they're accused of negligence over inadequate inspections on the bridge. the trial in general was biggest court is likely to last more than a year. this is the moment the more andy bridge collapsed during a rainstorm in august 2018. most of the 43 people who were killed that day, plunged to their debts in trucks and cars, as the ground dropped beneath him. it was later found that poor maintenance was the reason the most away collapse. the tragedy sparked nationwide anger here in italy,
3:19 pm
and laid bare the die estate of the country's crumbling infrastructure. it cloudy and that idea, example city sister, claudia, her 2 children and new husband lost their lives in the accident. edler refused the compensation offered to victims. instead, she once accountability for you already kick with, i would like to see these people pay for what they did. if this is the decision of the court, i would like to see them go to jail. when i look into her, i would like this to be a sign that changes the course of what we're seeing, which is everybody acts like they want and it's fine. and the victims are the only ones who pay for the beta kazi, it keep faggots all for a lady to with a judge in genoa has ordered 59 people to stand trial over the collapse of the mirandi bridge. among them are senior executives of the company that overseas italy's roads, the trial is expected to last at least a year. and special arrangements have been made at the court to accommodate the
3:20 pm
large number of people in the public gallery. his subject units are you guys will be crystal de boer as far as i know, a case like this has never been seen initially, especially as far as the consequences. and the number of victims are concerned that a lot of the unity they called the prosecution is pursuing charges of manslaughter due to the collapse of the bridge. and also a series of violations regarding the maintenance of the bridge that led to the fall of the structural, blah, blah, blah, korean. so the mental dense you and i would have the board that the boil corolla, the lester, dora, it's not just the fan of the dead seeking justice in this trial. there are people who say they lost income because of the bridge is collapse. and they want to be compensated. this neighborhood board is the sides of way the bridge collapsed. and the local syrup told me it was a real nightmare getting in and around the area in the aftermath of that accident. as a result, some businesses were forced to close,
3:21 pm
many of them have never come back. ah, the more andy bridge was taken down and replaced by this new one, which was opened 2 years ago. while others have moved on a glare, percetti says she hopes she'll get some closure when the trial is over. and christina wise, in general, it follows the trial for us. i asked her what we can expect. then you're going to hear the prosecution go after specifically some of those directors who were working for the company that was in charge of looking after this bridge. the allegation, the prosecution is leveling against some of these directors as that they were aware of the risk of this bridge collapsing. that it was clear that this bridge required a specific maintenance because of how old the bridge is because of the increased traffic volumes. and of course, where the j a r patterns changing. this was a bridge that needed a lot of work and maintenance but that these directors didn't do the necessary in
3:22 pm
fest meant i in this maintenance opting for, for cheapest solutions rather than making the full commitment financially to actually do that. and the prosecution alleges the reason they did what that was, that they were thinking in the interest of preserving dividends for shareholders. so that's going to be one aspect of it. and then there are a private lawyers who are representing individuals and, and companies will say as result of that bridge, having come down the disruption because it was difficult to get in and around. they have lost income, they've lost business, and they are seeking compensation for the losses. they say they have incurred as a result of the 2 years at the bridge was not available. that will be our will business back story to all of this and tell me about the defendants of bay admitted to any of these charges. but some of the defense lawyers are positive about the fact that says these charges are going to go to fall away. for example, one of the defense lawyers was quoted in local media saying the charges against his
3:23 pm
client would fall away like an autumn leaf at no head. it no one has really has faced trial up until this point and, and it, we have to point out that the companies themselves because they've paid our compensation of and made agreements reached agreements with the prosecutor's office . some victims have been compensated. so the companies aunt on trial necessary, but the prosecution has gone for certain individuals, for example, the chief executive officer who was running the company who was in charge of the company that was looking after the bridges at the time. so he has since been removed from office and replaced that the wealthy italian family that had a big stake in that company was forced to sell it. but what the victims really want, especially the people who lost loved ones is justice. and it's unclear if this particular cry try it was going to deny that justice. but the fact that it has gone to trial that a judge ordered this trial, they say is a positive step forward. has anything changed since the bridge collapse? as far as infrastructure goes in italy, then i can tell you that this tragedy really opened
3:24 pm
a national conversation and of course it, it, it highlighted that the state of infrastructure notches here in the city. but i have to point out across europe as well. when you have bridges that all over the continent, effectively in, in very bad shape. but here in the country, there was a conversation, not just about that, the state of infrastructure and, but just how the public servants are not doing the work that they ought to be doing . and there was a lot of anger in the sense that there is nobody that's been held to account. italy has had about 15 bridge collapses. of course, the genoa bridge collapse was the most tragic among those oh collapses. but it did open, enforced a national conversation. there has been some work done after that, but certainly a lot more needs to be done here on their franklin dw corresponding. christina, we were thank you very much for your reporting, for gentle with around a 1000000 muslim pilgrim's visiting mecca in the 1st open hutch program in 2 years . authorities previously limited access to a few saudi residents because of the pandemic. according to the koran,
