So lets take a look at some of the front pages. The daily mail leads with, ill which one crooked migration lawyers, and the lionesses are through to the last eight.

The mirror, clueless, 15 Asylum Seekers on barge but doesnt recede lee reprieved as lawyers argue the vessel is unsee. Thats it. The papers are not on my ipad matter. Thats all from us tonight. Ill be back again tomorrow. Until then, goodnight. Breaking news from around the world 2a hours a day, this is bbc news. Which must be pretty scary, right, for you . For sure, yeah. I could just hope that it will not break her. Alexander lukashenko crushed the protests to stay in power, but he didnt crush the spirits of everyone. In warsaw, in exile, these Granny Activists are filming skits for social media. Theyre sending up lukashenkos supporters, fighting a repressive regime by laughing at it. Annas home has been searched, her relatives threatened, but she told me she cant stay silent. Translation i think its a betrayal. If we dont speak out, who will . In belarus, everyone is silent because its impossible to say a thing there. So every week in warsaw, belarusians gather. Some are former prisoners themselves. Others have relatives behind bars. They all had to flee here for safety. Of course, in terms of scale, this is nothing like the kind of protests that we saw three years ago inside belarus itself. It is really hard to keep that protest spirit alive once youre in exile. But that is what these people are trying to do, and to send the message that the repression inside belarus hasnt stopped. Thats why inga now lives in a shelter in poland with her son. The police came for her two years after the mass protests, when they found a photo of her on a friends phone with an opposition flag. In custody, she says, they were treated like animals. But thats not what upsets her most. Translation all these amazing, educated people are all in prison. | thats so hard. Just for our words. Inga knows she cant go back to belarus or shed be arrested again. And opposition supporters arent just being locked up there now, theyre being kept in isolation. Sarah rainsford, bbc news, warsaw. Lets take a look at some other stories in the headlines. In india, the Senior Congress party leader, rahul gandhi, has entered parliament for the first time after being reinstated as an mp. Mr gandhi, who hails from indias most influential political dynasty, was disqualified as an mp after a court found him guilty in a Defamation Case in march and sentenced him to two years in jail. Indias Supreme Court last week suspended that ruling, opening the way for mr gandhis return. The uns childrens agency, unicef, says south asia has the highest percentage of children exposed to extreme high temperatures, compare to all other regions. Unicef estimates that around half a billion children in south asia are exposed to temperatures exceeding 35 celsius for approximately a quarter of the year. Among the most impacted are children in afghanistan, india, pakistan and bangladesh. Extreme weather continues across europe, with countries battling heavy rain, flooding and fires. Slovenias Prime Minister says flooding there has caused hundreds of millions of Dollars Worth of damage. Meanwhile, hundreds of people were evacuated from the east coast of sardinia as more than 50 wildfires tear through the island. Thousands of scouts at an International Event in south korea are being evacuated from a campsite due to an incoming tropical storm. The uk and several other countries had already left, citing extreme hot weather and poor facilities at the site. Je seung lee has more. First came the heatwave, now its a storm. A Contingency Plan has been put into action in south korea, with all scouts taking part in this years world Scout Jamboree being evacuated early from the campsite because of an incoming storm. The typhoon is expected to make landfall on thursday, bringing with it heavy rain and strong gusts. Now, its a massive operation thats expected to last a few hours. 36,000 people from over 150 countries are being moved out of the site in this countrys southwestern coast to the capital seoul. Some 1,000 buses are being mobilised. The government said it made the decision because it was no longer safe to hold events there. It said it also listened to the concerns of the World Organization for Scout Movements and national delegations. Now, the event isnt ending early. Instead, the participants will continue with other activities in seoul and the surrounding area, including cultural experiences. Now, its worth mentioning that theres growing criticism towards the organising committee, as its been revealed that most of the budget allocated for the event, which is around 76 million, was spent on the committee itself rather than setting up the campsite, which was heavily criticised for its poor conditions, leading to a lot of the scouts falling ill from high temperatures. The american film director William Friedkin has died at the age of 87. He won the Best Director Oscar for the 1971 thriller the French Connection, but he was perhaps most well known for directing the iconic and controversial horror film the exorcist. The film, about a young girl possessed by the devil, was infamously banned in many countries, but it became one of the most successful and influential films of all time. Here he is speaking about the exorcist in 2008. Its realistic. Theres no escape from it. It isnt like theres a lot of distance for the audience, like most of the films in the genre today, where you can laugh. I mean, there will be some laughs, but theyre nervous laughter based on tension. Im joined now by film critic siobhan synnot. Thank you so much forjoining us on newsday today.

Sending like the French Connection, a cop movie, could have been a potboiler, but in his hands it was something far more elevated than that and he got an amazing performance out ofjean hackman, despite the fact Thatjing Haipeng felt that his character, pop popeye doyle, was morally referenceable and had to be pushed by mackler to give his character its full weight, and the exorcist, he never regarded that as a horror movie despite the spinning heads and the peas soup gene hackman. He regarded it as a serious drama, a moral question, and when he felt the energy onset of was not quite as energetic as he would like he punched one of the characters, one of his actors come in the face of a noxious annual actor either, a priest.

It is a once In A Lifetime Adventure Few Of Us will ever experience. But for keisha and ana, their dream is on the edge of becoming a reality. They are about to become the first ever mum and daughter in space. They will be on board virgin galactic� s unity spacecraft. To just have the experience to actually go to space and look at our amazing planet from that high and to just breathe that in and to just be in that Energy Isjust super amazing. It brings out a lot of emotion in me because its something that ive wanted for so long and its happening. I know we will get to experience weightlessness and see the planet from out of space. I have no words to describe how i feel about experiencing that. Originally from antigua in the caribbean, ana is currently studying physics at Aberdeen University and hopes to eventually work for nasa. You and your mother are going to space. I we won her mum won their seats on the rocket after entering a competition she saw advertised on a flight as they travelled to get anas Student Visa Ana believes it was written in the stars. Had i not randomly chosen Aberdeen University and had we not had to take a massive detour to get my visa, we wouldnt be going to space. This is cool ana hopes her example will inspire promising young astronauts. Like some young people at this event in aberdeen. I think it is really cool that people from aberdeen can go up into space. Its really amazing. How does it make you feel seeing the rocket and everything . It is great because i see the earth and where im living, i can see my house on earth. You will be the first mother and daughter to ever go into space. How does that feel . It is so much more reassuring and so connecting to be able to do this with someone i love so much. The Virgin Space Flight takes off from new mexico on thursday. Thats it for the programme. Thank you so much for watching. Hello there. Theres a promise of something a little bit warmer for all of us towards the end of the week. But its going to be a short lived warm snap, as cooler, Wetter Conditions return for many northern and Western Areas over the weekend. For the next few days, its southern areas which will see the mist, the murk, the cloud, the rain. A bit brighter further north. This deep area of low pressure will bring all sorts of problems to scandinavia, with localised flooding, heavy rain and strong winds. But the Weather Front pushing in across the south of the uk for tuesday will be a much weaker affair, bringing increasing cloud to the southern half of the country, with some patchy rain and drizzle, low cloud, some sea fog around south Western Coasts and into wales. But for northern england, northern ireland, scotland, bright with some sunny spells, one or two showers in north east scotland, where it will be windier, especially in the Northern Isles gusts up to 50 miles an hour
