and coming up in spotsday later in the hour on bbc news — a blow for england ahead of the rugby world cup, billy vunipola is another of their players to be suspended after a dangerous tackle. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. india has successfully landed its first spacecraft on the moon. the chandrayaan—3 — which is uncrewed — is the first craft in history to land here at the lunar south pole. it has a rover on board which will be used to carry out experiments on this unexplored part of the lunar surface — where huge craters hold frozen water. the successful mission makes india only the fourth country in the world to have landed on the moon. our south asia correspondent samira hussain reports. soft landing on the moon. india is on the moon. it was a moment several decades in the making. and on its third attempt, india stuck the landing. as mission control celebrated, so too did an entire nation. as did these space enthusiasts. this is an incredible moment for india, and even for the people in this room. india is now in an elite class of space explorers, getting to the south pole of the moon, something that no other country in the world has managed to achieve. nearly 7 million people watched the live stream on youtube, and these space enthusiasts are feeling all the feelings, excitement, relief, even tears. it was only six weeks ago when the lander launched into orbit. along with it, the hopes of an entire country. speaking via video link from johannesburg, india's prime minister narendra modi said the landing was more than just a victory for his country. this success belongs to all of humanity, and it will help moon missions by other countries in the future. these grainy photographs were taken as the lander made its descent onto the surface of the moon. what was it like when you saw the lander make it to the moon? i cheered! it was a very proud - moment for me, in fact. i really felt the pride of being an indian. l india's ambitious space programme has delivered the country a win and has emerged as a major player in the global space race. samira hussain, bbc news. bengaluru. joining me now is our science editor rebecca morelle. space history, what will it mean for space exploration? it space history, what will it mean for space exploration?— space exploration? it really does bump india _ space exploration? it really

space exploration? it really does i bump india up the space to prepare this but i think for me the exciting thing is exactly where they have landed. only three other nations have made it down to the surface of the moon before, the us, the former soviet union and china, but they have all landed around the equator region. what's different is got all the way to the very bottom, the lunar south pole and they are the first to get a spacecraft safely down there. it's a region that attracting a great deal of interest and its beside a huge crater, some of which is apparently in shadow, and there is frozen water. and that is really an important thing for a given explosion, which is why nasa, with its artemis mission, is going to send astronauts down there, too, to send astronauts down there, too, to the lunar south pole to do exploration. but water isn'tjust for drinking, you can do different things with it. if you split it up into constituent parts of hydrogen and oxygen you can make rocket fuel, so the moon could become a staging post to get places like mars and even beyond. but before that you need to explore the place and that is why this mission from india is so important. is why

now, look at this — the cable car left dangling over a ravine for 15 hours in pakistan yesterday — a child's foot poking out as it hung around 1,000 feet above ground. this extraordinary footage was filmed by a drone and shows the full horror of their situation after a cable snapped. miraculously all eight of them survived. today some of the boys have been describing their ordeal as caroline davies reports from islamabad. hanging hundreds of metres above the ground. imagine being here for more than 15 hours. obtained by the bbc, this drone footage shows the precariousness of the rusting cable car. attached by only one cable. rescuers tried to figure out how to save them. below, crowds watch and wait. military helicopters made several attempts to try to reach the cable car. the wind made it difficult. it was at this point that many on board became desperate. pictured here on the phone gul faraz. today he spoke about the terrifying moment the rescue went wrong. translation: the helicopter's wire got stuck in the cable. _ at that point we lost all our hope. we were all praying. then by the grace of god, we were able to free it. then a rescue. one boy in white here, his legs dangling as he swung from the end of a rope. daylight lost, the helicopters could no longer operate. instead, rescue workers and locals used to zip wires to try to save those remaining. they worked late into the night. relief as person after person made it back. this afternoon police arrested the owner and operator of the cable car, investigated for endangering lives and not having a government permit to run the cable car. villagers still in shock. with no way across the valley, the only route hours by road, remote villages out of reach. the empty chassis still dangles. a reminder of how close disaster came. caroline davies, bbc news, pakistan. the bbc has seen graphic evidence compiled by romanian prosecutors alleging that the controversial online influencer andrew tate coerced women into sexual acts. the case file summary also includes allegations of sexual violence, and transcripts of what prosecutors say are audio messages from mr tate's brother tristan where he appears to talk about "slaving" women. both men face trial for human trafficking and forming an organised crime group, but deny all the charges. lucy williamson has this report which contains some offensive language. andrew tate and his brother, tristan, have always denied the charges they face. i believe in god and i believe in the justice system, and we're going to be ok. this rare glimpse into the prosecution file provides some detail on the case compiled against them. more than 300 pages of witness testimony and what prosecutors say are transcribed messages showing the defendants coercion, control and exploitation of women. the transcripts include what prosecutors claim are text messages sent by andrew tate in which he appears to coerce one woman into group sex using phrases such as, "shut up, you whore, you'll do as i say." his brother, tristan, is accused of sending an audio message to an associate saying that he will "slave these bitches." prosecutors claim the tates recruited women by pretending to love them, then housed them with others making content online under the scrutiny of their two romanian codefendants, who allegedly used threats and financial controls to exploit them. the defendants all vehemently denied the allegations against them. some of the transcribed conversations in this document appear to show the changing relationship between andrew tate and one of his alleged victims over many weeks. the transcripts begin with flirtation and expressions of love that are gradually replaced by what appears to be aggression, abuse and control. the transcribed responses suggest growing feelings of confusion and distress that are hard to read. the bbc can't verify that the transcripts are genuine because the original evidence wasn't included in the summary file we've seen. a spokeswoman for the tate brothers accused the bbc of lacking impartiality but didn't provide any detail or respond to the specific allegations we raised in connection with the prosecution file. in a bbc interview earlier this summer, andrew tate said his influence on young people was positive. evidence against me, and you haven't, i know the truth of what happened, and you don't. and i'm telling you absolutely, i've never hurt anybody, and the case that's put against me is completely and utterly fabricated, and i'm never going to be found guilty of anything. defence lawyers are expected to challenge the prosecution evidence in a pretrial hearing later this month. andrew tate's online persona has already divided the world into prosecution and defence. in this upcoming case, it's his real—life actions on trial. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. more information has emerged this evening about the ten—year—old girl sara sharif who was found dead at her home nearly two weeks ago in the early hours of the morning. our respondent howard wilkinson is outside the family home this morning, what can you tell us? debt someone someone whose child was in the same passive sara sharif was speaking to the bbc this evening, she said that sara was happy and confident —— whose child was in the same class. she said that sara came to school with visible injuries. just before the easter holiday she had come into school and she had cuts and bruises on herface and her neck. and my daughter had asked what had happened, and she said that she'd fallen off a bike and kind of walked away. and then the next day, the teacher announced that she had left school and she was being home—schooled. it was about that time that sara's family moved to this house here in woking, which is about 20 miles away from the school. the mother we had spoken to says she didn't see sara again at school after that. and neighbours here have told us as well that they understand that sara was being home—schooled here. last week detectives revealed that a postmortem examination had revealed that sara had multiple injuries sustained over an extended period of time, and surrey police are still looking for a sara's father, his partner and his brother, who left the uk for pakistan the day before sara's body was discovered here at the house behind me. helena, thank you. a 34—year—old woman has become the first in the uk to be given a transplanted womb. she was born without a uterus because of a rare medical condition. then her older sister — who already has children — offered to donate her womb for the transplant operation. it is a procedure has already been carried out successfully in other countries, as our medical editor fergus walsh reports. a remarkable gift from one sister to another, enabling surgeons here to transplant a womb into a 34—year—old woman, donated by her ao—year—old sibling. the surgery, in next door operating theatres at the churchill hospital in oxford in february, lasted around 17 hours. it was an amazing day. absolutely amazing. these two surgeons led a team of more than 30. they recalled the reaction of the younger sister when she came round. she was absolutely over the moon. there were a lot of tears, a lot of emotion. she was very, very happy and the donor probably was even happier, because she had some time to recover from the anaesthesia. so it was a veryjoyous moment for everybody. the recipient was born without a uterus but with functioning ovaries. with her husband, she already has eight embryos in storage, and could go on to have two pregnancies, after which her sister's womb will be removed so she can stop taking powerful drugs which prevent her body rejecting the transplant. so she is doing really, really well. she has started having menstrual periods and that means her prospects of having a baby are very high. she needs to stay on immunosuppressive therapy and to be closely monitored, and we hope to be doing an embryo transfer in the autumn. in 2014, a woman in sweden became the first to have a baby after a womb transplant. since then, around 100 transplants have been performed worldwide, with 50 babies born. the surgical team here is funded by a charity, womb transplant uk, and has permission to carry out the procedure with both live and deceased donors. there are a dozen women with embryos in storage or who are going through ivf who are hoping for a womb transplant. for now, the charity has funding forjust three more operations. i'm really excited, yeah. it's nice to feel that it's finally happening. and the demand here could be significant. around one in 5,000 women is born without a functioning womb but many more, like lydia, lose theirs due to cancer. she says a transplant would feel miraculous. since getting diagnosed with cancer and the hysterectomy, the infertility was such a huge part of that, and you grieve, you really do. hopefully being on the waiting list for a transplant would mean everything. being able to carry my own child and have that experience of feeling it, being able to breast—feed, and being able to have a newborn baby at least once. the charity paid £25,000 to cover the operating theatre costs and the women's stay in hospital. all the staff gave their time for free. but the team will need a big injection of funds if many more women are to benefit. and fergusjoins me now. in uk first but it's taken some time to get— in uk first but it's taken some time to get there — in uk first but it's taken some time to get there the— in uk first but it's taken some time to get there-— to get there. the transplant team have been ready _ to get there. the transplant team have been ready to _ to get there. the transplant team have been ready to go _ to get there. the transplant team have been ready to go for- to get there. the transplant team have been ready to go for nearly l to get there. the transplant team | have been ready to go for nearly a decade and watched other countries forge ahead while they encountered opposition. there is an ethical discussion to be had. the surgery carries risks, it's not life—saving but it does allow a woman to carry her own biological child, something which surrogacy and adoption don't, and that is a powerful motivation. it is never going to be a common procedure here, and it all depends on one charity that needs another £300,000 to pay for the 15 transplants it has been authorised to carry out. but this first transplant is a milestone, and the journey of the first recipient isn't over yet. the hope is she will deliver another uk first next year with a healthy baby.— deliver another uk first next year with a healthy baby. fergus walsh, thank ou. the time is 18:17. our top story this evening: india makes history with its first moon landing, the un—crewed spacecraft touched down at the lunar south poll which has never been explored, and coming up, hackney diamonds opening next month? why rolling

troops have been| prigozhin's troops have been fighting in eastern ukraine and as a result of the uprising, they chose to go and live in belarus and he said he would then concentrate on africa which is where his mercenary group wagner would be concentrating on, in africa. today the russian federal agency for transport has confirmed he was on the passenger list. we don't know if he was definitely on board but he was on the passenger list of an aircraft that has crashed in the tver region. it was flying from moscow to saint petersburg. we have seen pictures of the crash. the russian authorities have said nobody survived the crash, three crew members and all of the passengers have died. so if yevgeny prigozhin who was on the passenger list does turn out to be on board, it looks like it will have been killed in that crash, which would be a very significant moment as the man who has really challenged the russian authorities most directly this year and most directly since the start of the ukraine crisis. there has been huge confusion about his whereabouts since the uprising. yes, he was supposed to have gone to belarus, that was where he was based. we had videos recently of him saying he would be focused on africa. i'm off to go and do my work in africa was essentially his message. now it looks like it was at least on a passenger list of a flight from moscow to saint petersburg which has mysteriously crashed. if you look at the flight tracking systems, the plane effectively disappears off the flight tracking systems. daniel sandford with _ flight tracking systems. daniel

migrants have crossed the channel in small boats, meaning almost 19,000 have arrived this year. afghans are currently the largest group making the illegal crossing. the uk government did create legal routes after the allied withdrawal from afghanistan two years ago, putting two special home office visa schemes in place. more than 12,000 afghans have come through the afghan relocations and assistance policy for families of people who worked with uk forces. more than 9,000 are here now via the afghan citizens resettlement scheme for those who worked with the british in other capacities, but tens of thousands with close links to the uk are still thought to be stuck in afghanistan. our home editor mark easton has been talking to one afghan family in britain who are urging the government to open up more legal routes. phone rings from a living room in the safety of west london, a mother and her children are looking into another room — the room in kabul, where her son, his wife and four young children are in mortal danger, hiding from the taliban. they're saying, "granny, granny." javid worked with the allies during the war in afghanistan — americans, germans and british. photographs like this have seen him put on a taliban death list, and his family are targets too. how are the children? the children, they are very devastated because they cannot go out. i have two kids. i can get them easily to the park, but my niece inside one room all the time. since the allies left afghanistan and the taliban returned to power two years ago, javid and his family have been moving from hideout to hideout. but they're fast running out of options. with his brother ahmed acting as interpreter, javid told me he thinks people smugglers are his only means of escape. of course, if i had the money and i had someone who was trusted, then of course i wouldn't be here to die. your brother said that if he could find somebody and if he could find the money, he would come to the uk with his family illegally. perhaps on a small boat. i wouldn't blame him. if i were him, i would do the same. there are supposed to be legal routes for people like him who served with the allies. well, he has exhausted all the legal routes. in the chaos of the allies' retreat from afghanistan, the uk government opened up legal routes for afghans who'd assisted the british during the war, as well as women and girls at particular risk. now, to get one of the special visas, they need to present numerous documents to british authorities in a neighbouring country. most applications fail. all the time, you get reject visa because it's very difficult for us because in afghanistan there is no embassy. because of threats from the taliban, every member of this family in london has fled their homeland. some came to britain illegally back in the �*90s, hidden in the back of a lorry. some managed to find a legal route as a student or worker. mum only arrived last month after living under the radar in turkey for the two years it took to get a temporary family visa from the uk home office. javid told me if he thought there was a decent chance of getting swift and legal passage to the uk, then he'd attempt to take his wife and children out of the country to reach a british embassy. if there was a safe and legal route from a neighbouring country for refugees from afghanistan, that might be an option for him? of course. of course. the home office won't introduce any new, safe and legal routes until the small boats have been stopped. the uk, they say, has been generous to refugees from afghanistan and other countries. it is a position that offers no solace to a family in two rooms. mark easton, bbc news. greek firefighters are trying to contain wildfires threatening the suburbs of athens. the capital is covered in smoke as the flames advance in the foothills north of the city. in the last two days, 18 people believed to be migrants have been killed in forest fires near the turkish border. a greek government minister says more than 200 new wildfires have broken out across the country in the last 48 hours alone. in pakistan, 100,000 people have been evacuated following floods in punjab province. several hundred villages and thousands of acres of arable land are inundated. last year, more than 1,500 people died after devastating floods in pakistan — described as a "monsoon on steroids" by the un secretary—general. the rolling stones released their debut album almost 60 years ago, back in 1964. now it seems they could be preparing to release a new one — at least that's what fans are hoping after a mysterious advert in a local newspaper heralding a new glass repair store called "hackney diamonds". our music correspondent mark savage has been investigating. it's almost two decades since the rolling stones released an album of new material. # wild horses...# but now the wait might be over. last week, an advert for a glass replacement service was published in the hackney gazette, but eagle—eyed fans spotted it was riddled with references to songs like gimme shelter and satisfaction. and then, almost imperceptibly, a copy of the band's famous lips logo. did you spot satisfaction, gimme shelter, shattered? those are all rolling stones song titles. now that you say it, yeah. it seems to me it's quite a cryptic way of getting the news out. yeah, it's cool. i like it, it's a bit different. to me, itjust looks— like an opening of a record shop or a music venue or something. do you think that's exactly what it is, you think? - that's what fans are saying. oh, my god, they kept that quiet, haven't they? - # i can't get no satisfaction... the record label won't confirm it, but fans have deduced this is the announcement of a new album called hackney diamonds. do record labels usually book adverts on page three of the hackney gazette? not normally, no. it's normally like local businesses. when the album does come out, are you hoping to get the exclusive interview with mick and keith? yeah, i think so. i think we're owed it as we've publicised it for them. we already know that the stones started work on new material before the pandemic, and that includes the last—ever recordings of drummer charlie watts, who died two years ago at the age of 80, and the band have said any new material will be dedicated to watts' memory. mark savage, bbc news. let's go back to that breaking news that the russian authorities say the wagner mercenary boss yevgeny prigozhin was on the passenger list of a private jet that has crashed north of moscow. our russia editor steve rosenberg is here with me in the studio. no confirmation he was on board, but if he were, what would it mean? we on board, but if

day since yevgeny prigozhin and his wagner mercenary launched this mutiny which was a humiliation for vladimir putin, for the kremlin. he did something that peoplejust don't do, the kremlin. he did something that people just don't do, publicly humiliated the russian president. and we have been wondering since then how this would end. and, well, if he was on that plane, the story ends today. if

and securities, not only reaching the necessary slots, i think that they will try to find new leadership because they find it quite useful to use these mercenary private groups to have flexible arm to deploy in various locations of the worlds, but it is clear that if there is any loyalty to people like him around him, it will be very difficult because there is a personal relationship that was established between parts of... catering to their needs. it was also, let's remember, business and player that plays financing some of its military needs through mining in africa and other deals, including, you know, smuggling of weapons and crypto currency trading and other assets. we will leave it there. thank you very much. good to have your analysis there. this is bbc news, live from
