chris page, bbc news, belfast. plenty more on the website, just search for bbc news.cup. don't go away. hello there. well, the weekend certainly started off on a soggy note. plenty of rain around. not that it made much difference for these surfers enjoying the waves coming in at newquay. mind you, there weren't many sun worshippers on the beach. it was pretty dismal, wasn't it? not much sunshine around at all. most of us, you had extensive outbreaks of rain around, although it was a different story across northern scotland, poking out in the sunshine here. actually, we had temperatures as high as 22 degrees in achnagart in highland scotland, and this beach in tiree kind of looked caribbean—esque in the sunshine. now, back to the wet weather story. we've got more of that rain to come over the next few hours, particularly for northern ireland. across northern england, the rain heavy. the rain easing off for a time over the next few hours for the south of england, southern parts of wales but there'll still be some patches of drizzle around, a bit of mist and fog, too. fo

our ireland correspondent chris page has more.rn ireland last had a fully functioning devolved government. that's 1.5 years of delayed decisions, postponed plans and increasing frustration. go! in west belfast, youth workers say vital services are falling behind. in the absence of politicians, budget cuts are being made by unelected officials. staff have been laid off and summer programmes called off. the impacts of the cuts, chris, have been huge. to say to children and young people "we can't work with you today" is awful. it's the most hurtful part of the job is to turn children and young people away. the cuts to schools, cuts to youth service, the cuts to early education services, these cannot be reversed without — if we don't have political institutions or people making the right decisions, putting the funds and the access and support in the right places, it's not going to be good. so, how important do you feel it is that devolved government does come back? they have to get back in, for all of our sakes. notjust go back to wor

. >> chris, front page of the guardian mps hold buying shares or stakes in top uk firms.problem ? is the what is the problem? >> yeah actually and when you open up the inside pages, there's 3 or 4 pages more on this issue and the basic problem clearly is conflicts of interest that the public are in the dark, have what shares. you're our mps have what shares. you're our mps have got and there's a threshold. there's a £70,000 threshold. there's a £70,000 threshold where family members or the mp can have shares in companies , but clearly there's a companies, but clearly there's a conflict of interest. if i'm standing up and i'm making legislation , i'm speaking legislation, i'm speaking against agitation for, for example, energy crisis, are we going to add a superannuated tax upon the energy companies ? and upon the energy companies? and i've got money inside that i don't want to be taxed because shareholder value. i want to actually, you know , make my actually, you know, make my shares work for me. there's obviously a conflict of interest and there's a an unconscious bias,

>> well, collectively, you are seeing from chris christie, and nikki haley, and this general theme of turning the page from desantis and folks supporting desantis, a much more willingness to attack trump on the social issues to fall to the right of him, and collectively, if what this does is to take the gop rivals more will to go after donald trump, that is a real turning point. for the last several months it is going after each other, and criticizing desantis or trump and then walking away, but a real carefulness of going directly after trump, because the rivals didn't want to alienate the base. and also coming as all of the legal issues are heating up. and so he might want to go to talk about ethanol in iowa. they don't want to concentrate on ethanol but donald trump and anything that he says on the stump can be used against him by prosecutors, and he needs to be more careful. >> what about that? i find it so fascinating, because i have been looking for example of how trump talk, because prosecutors and the judge told him this is nowed a missable in the federal case against him. >> yes, and every re

. >> susan page, chris christie is basically running his campaign out of table tv studios.d trump had only become more popular among republicans as the legal peril increases. to be sure, the general election next year may be a very different story. are you seeing anything here as republicans look around and realize we're under a month until their first debate? do any of them see this as an attack to the front runner? >> chris christie has made the debate stage. you can understand why donald trump might not want to be on a debate stage with chris christie. he's quite ccombative. the former prosecutor is effective at doing that. in new hampshire, he's challenging desantis in one poll for a distant second place. but, no, there are no signs that donald trump has been significantly dented. even by being indicted in both new york and in federal court. it has, in fact, solidified his fundraising and his position among many republican voters, which i've got to say, is not something you might have predicted in the days when no former president had ever been indicted before, jonathan

that is what they have to do, and especially chris christie, and he has signaled that the stategy to get hymn to debate page attack him. and who is going to sign up for that? donald trump says is maybe it is not worth my time. >> and attacking the decisions. and i wanted to ask you about who is in second place, ron desantis basically putting out what kind of money he has the war chest, but he is burning through it. what is happening with him? he was the heir apparent, people thought. >> yes, that is right. there is some disillusionment, and he is spending 40 cents of every dollar that he is raising, and that a quick burn rate. they have announced to trim some staff and shake-up at the top of the leadership, and that is what you do. if you start out at 30% in the polls, and spend 30% of the dollars and you are lower in the polls, you can see the high profile donor talking to tim scott and other candidates. so he started out in a good position, and wobbling a little. by we will see if he can get back on his feet. >> we will be watching that. a lot of people are going to be watching that. >> let me ask you abo

chris the bank scandal continues . front page of scandal continues. front page of the telegraph.s with coutts etcetera. but he's not alone and today in the telegraph they revealed that there are three more banks up for scrutiny. you've got the metro, the yorkshire building society and american express, and at the same reason not liking the political views of, for example of richard tice and the reform party. um or in the case of the reverend richard fothergill , they didn't like the fothergill, they didn't like the idea that he was agitating against their views. on the pride marches and it's just, it's just worrying that that banks who i thought are there to either look after your money or lend you money or ensure that the circle economy is going around. can take the stance that they take the stance because of their their purpose as organisations they fall in line with the esg equity social and governance frameworks . but it's governance frameworks. but it's gone a little bit too far when all of a sudden they they are cancelling your bank account. i've had experience with my own

today" washington bureau chief susan page, co-anchor only far nawaz and former florida congressman carlos curbelo. this has gotten pushback from secretary buttigieg and chriss seems focused on making the culture wars a priority. boy, is he all in on that? >> he is indeed all in. it's important to point out that this ad came out at the end of pride month which mr. desantis says shouldn't be a federally recognized month of celebration. now this is a central part of his republican push for the presidency. remember we're now at a point where it's several months away from any of the earliest votes being cast. but mr. desantis has consistently trailed president trump, even as donald trump faces federal indictment charges. he's doing everything he can to break through, to try to close the gap, in a largely come together primary field. he's doing that by running the the right of former president trump, leaning in to some of the culture war issues and specifically anti lgbtq issues. don't forget this is the governor who signed the so-called don't say gay law into action. in florida he signed a bill targeting drag shows in florida. he had to have a federal judge ste

chris mason and faisal islam, thank you very much. i and you can get more information on today's inflation figures and what they mean for you on the tackling it together pagesshort lived mutiny against russia's military leaders. it's the first time yevgeny prigozhin, leader of the wagner mercenary group, has been seen since the uprising, and he's reported to be in neighbouring belarus. as our correspondent from bbc verify, nick beake, reports, in the clip posted on the messaging service, telegram, prigozhin is still critical of the russian armed forces. backin back in business in belarus. the former hot dog seller apparently reunited with his private army. cheering theirface hard to make cheering their face hard to make out but the voice certainly sounds like yevgeny prigozhin, the man who defied president putin and lived to tell the tale, for now. this was the last we had seen of prigozhin nearly a month ago, just after calling off his rebellion. hours earlier, his wagner forces his rebellion. hours earlier, his wagnerforces had been on the road to moscow, fuelled by their bus' discussed at the top russian generals running the war in ukraine. —— fuelled by

so chris, just the fact that the presidents of the united states, the prime minister of israel can't seem to get on the same pagecation of a meeting shows you that this is a strained moment in the history of the relationship. >> a critical moment and an important interview. raf sanchez, thank you for bringing it to us. so rick, let me ask you about one of the comments we just heard from the prime minister, that when all of this is over israel will be just as democratic as it was before and even more democratic. your take. >> well, chris, in israel and in the united states and in most western democracies the judiciary is the check on executive power. i think the millions of israelis that are protesting see the judiciary as one of the only antidotes and one of the only ways of preserving democracy in israel with the head of the executive branch who has autocratic tendencies and who is the defendant in a corruption trial that will eventually reach the supreme court. this is a guardrail that democracy shouldn't overwhelm, and that's what the people are afraid of. >> that "new york times" story i referenced earlier c

page. of course, we are heading into an election year and the rhetoric is going to ramp up. we had chrisormer governor of new jersey, he is a candidate on the republican stage. he was saying he would change his tone and come from a place of strength. but what does that mean? everyone knows once you get into the white house you have to navigate this relationship and also make sure you are not just being strategic about it but responsible. the rest of the world wants to see a responsible dialogue between beijing and washington. tom: you have massive credit on continental europe, putin, and this war. to me and the distractions, including the silliness over barbie and oppenheimer, we almost have a war unraveling this week. the new york times, bloomberg, and the washington post talking about the black sea. what is the navy doing about the tensions in the south of ukraine? annmarie: i think what everyone is trying to do is find a diplomatic way out. russia has complained about the black sea green deal in the past -- grain deal in the past. but they are trying to find a diplomatic way forward.

the bbc news website that has updated, the live page, we have the liberal democrats saying that they are calling on rishi sunak to vote to suspend chris think rishi sunak can spin this? will he simply declined to vote on this report as he has done with past reports? thinking for example of the report into boris johnson's thinking for example of the report into borisjohnson's behaviour. rishi sunak was happily absent from the vote when it took place. whether that will be possible to repeat the same trick, if he will be able to come i don't think it would be a good look. this is also very different because you are dealing with the behaviour of a previous prime minister and something that was more of a contentious issue within both the conservative parliamentary party and the wider party as a whole. whereas i think the behaviour of chris pincher, as the behaviour of chris pincher, as the report suggests, it is pretty appalling and rishi sunak is a man of high moral rectitude himself, and would surely want to vote against this and see another unfortunate by—election. brute this and see another unfortunate by-election-_ this and see anothe

so that was senator chris murphy on the comments made by supreme court justice samuel alito in an interview published by the "wall street journal" in its op-ed pageo role in setting ethical standards for the court. the justice saying, "i know this is a controversial view, but i'm willing to say it. no provision in the constitution gives them the authority to regulate the supreme court. period." alito's latest remarks actually opens him up to even more questions and scrutiny about supreme court ethics. one of the authors of the "wall street journal" piece last week, david rifkin, he is set to argue a case in front of the supreme court later this fall. let's bring in mark joseph stern, senior writer for slate. mara and paul are still with us. so mark, great to see you again. help us unpack justice alito's claims here, that congress has no role in setting rules for the ethics of the court. you speak to a lot more legal experts than i do. is that true or false? >> it is quite false and an extraordinary claim because in fact article 3 of the constitution expressly grants congress the power to regulate the supreme court and in fact uses the word "regul

an amazing cast who very much wanted to work with chris as a director, but i would imagine as an actor what you are deciding are the words on the pagen my opinion. i don't know if you've seen the book, but it's a weighty turn, and he managed to make an exciting script out of that. >> and there's a moment that really stands out to me and it's when the general and oppenheimer are going back and forth, and it somehow manages to encapsulate the relationship and sort of the pushing and the pulling where the general says, why haven't you won the nobel prize and oppenheimer says why aren't you a general? maybe i will be. there's this back and forth. but i just sit there thinking, okay, it has this extraordinarily complex relationship which he's able to write to, and explain to the audience very quickly in a way that pulls in the audience, who these two people are individually and together. >> when general gross selected oppenheimer to run the laboratory, nobody thought he was right, making the most unlikely choice. but there was something about that first meeting, you know, as i read about it in the book i'm adapting, incredible book about
