who volunteered to fight. a russian air strike destroyed his convoy last november. translation: honestly, it's still very hard - to accept that he is gone. it is only when i am here that it sinks in. i feel he is still somewhere. that he is still alive, and on a mission, doing hisjob. in marriage, oksana made a pact with her husband that she would join up if he was killed in action. she is still getting used to army life and the dangers that come with it. this road is regularly shelled. here, outside bakhmut, they head out and immediately take cover in nearby woods. this position is in range of russian guns. like thousands of other ukrainians, oksana had very little time to mourn. instead, she chose to fight. what we hear from a lot of soldiers on the front line is that the time to grieve will come when the war is over. more now from pakistan where the high court has granted former prime minister imran khan bail. mr khan has been in prison since he was sentenced to three years on august 5th — on charges of not declaring money gained from selling state gifts during his tenure as prime minister. as a result of the conviction, he was also barred for five years from contesting elections. the bail does not necessarily mean that khan will be free to walk out ofjail. now to islamabad — our bbc urdu correspondent farhat javed is there. what does this mean? outside high court imran khan supporters and a team of lawyers were gathered, cheering and chanting. the party is going through a dark phase, especially since imran khan was arrested for the first time on me the night. it is a short—lived celebration, the reason is another case from which imran khan is also under arrest, this is linked with a leaked diplomatic cable, an allegation that imran khan denies. but the investigation agency is probing into the matter. imran khan will be presented before the court tomorrow, the court will decide whether to grant him bail or extend his remand, if remand is extended he will once again end up injail, if bail is granted, he is facing multiple charges including terrorism, public order. it will be more clear tomorrow if he will be sent home or back to jail. even if imran khan is released today or tomorrow or in days to come, he will not be able to contest any election or hold a party position until his conviction is set aside. his conviction is set aside. his conviction still holds ground and he will not be able to actively participate in his political career in the way he had been doing in the past. his previous arrest sparked protests, some are violent, in certain parts of the country. is there a worry that this new development, if he is not given bail, could spark more unrest? there were massive protests, violent protest, across the country after a night when imran khan was arrested for the first time. thousands of supporters were arrested. his party leaders were arrested. his party was physically dismantled. when he was arrested on august five this month, we did not see any huge protests. the reason was that already many of his supporters and party leaders were insidejails. there is not a big chance that there will be countrywide protests, as happened backin countrywide protests, as happened back in may, but obvious that this is seen as a relief. while his party is seen as a relief. while his party is celebrating, we are getting strong reaction from other parties. there is a strong reaction from opposition parties. his own spokesperson, supporters, have said priority at the moment is to get imran khan back home safely, but opposition parties are saying, they are criticising the decision. but we understand that the parties that oppose imran khan enters politics... thank you. japan has urged china to provide its citizens with accurate information about the release of wastewater from the fukushima nuclear plant. beijing objects strongly to the practice, despite evidence that it's safe. japanese businesses say they've been harassed by abusive phone calls from china. china has been the loudest critic of japan's plan to release this water into the ocean, four weeks it has been stirring up outrage. it has accused japan of telling the pacific ocean into a sewer. almost immediately afterjapan started immediately after japan started releasing immediately afterjapan started releasing this water into the ocean on thursday, china announced it was banning alljapanese seafood. it is little wonder that some of this animosity has started to trickle down to the public. what the authorities in fukushima injapan have said is that over the past few days they at government offices, businesses, schools, have received hundreds of abusive phone calls from chinese callers. it has not been in fukushima, it has been in places like tokyo as well. evenjapanese businesses in china. japanese schools in china have been targeted with eggs and rocks. the japanese embassy in beijing has had a brick thrown at it. today japan's foreign minister said this reaction was extremely regrettable and worrying. he urged the chinese covenant to ask people to act calmly, to not escalate the situation. he asked the chinese government to make sure it was keeping japanese citizens say. but in the meantime the japanese government is so worried that it has asked them to keep a low profile. china at one of its regular press briefings has said that it does ensure the safety of foreigners in its country, but again has called on japan to stop the release of this water. but japan japan to stop the release of this water. butjapan has no intention of stopping this release. this plan has beenin stopping this release. this plan has been in the works for years, it has been in the works for years, it has been signed off by the un clear watchdog, which sits at sea. all the testing has been done on the water in the past few days, shows that radiation levels are safe limits. the biggest casualty of all of this is going to be japanese fishermen, who can no longer sell their produce to china. todayjapan has hinted that it might complain to the world trade organization about china's boycott of its fish. in march 1980, 123 people died when a floating oil platform capsized off the norwegian coast. 23 of the workers were british. more than a0 years later, the families of those involved still don't know exactly what happened that night — and this week they'll travel to norway in search of answers. mark mcalindon reports. the capsized oil platform alexander callon, adrift after the worst ever the north sea oil disaster. already, 38 bodies have been found and hope is fading for a hundred men still missing. bbc news on the day after the floating hotel keeled over and sank in dreadful weather. one of the men missing that night was cleator moor man keith hunter, whose body has never been found. fenced in beside the town hall is the only memorial to keith and four others, a poignant place for one of his sons, wayne. it's like a headstone that was — obviously we never retrieved our dad. so i go at least once a year. i definitely missed the father in my life. you have no—one to turn to. a troubled adolescence, wayne tried to bury the memories of what had happened. butjust last year, a meeting with norwegian relatives of victims kindled a sense that he had to try to find justice, however painful. many sleepless nights, and i'm still having sleepless nights now. it's just wrong in so many ways of how there was no follow up with with families. the sea king helicopterfrom raf boomer in northumberland was the first to be called just a0 minutes after the accident. despite a rescue operation, including the raf, only 89 men survived. it's a tragedy that has echoed down through the generations. that experience of trauma is all too familiar for the man who's organised families to come together to fight for the full truth. there was a study made in 2005 showing that 37% of the survivors still suffered from severe psychological damages. fighting for facts is a very important element in the healing process for these these traumas that people are experiencing. survivors and relatives dispute the findings of a 1980s inquiry into the disaster that was held behind closed doors. and the kielland network has invited british families to norway to increase the pressure. with activity and network in both places it will also be helpful in making british politicians and parliamentarians more aware of what has been happening and that the push for more answers will be stronger. if we connect that way. you're going to norway to meet otherfamilies. what do you hope that trip brings? hope to get out of that meeting with the norwegians? just answers so we can move on, move on in life. but until then, no—one can move on. the truth's massive. everyone deserves the truth. it will be part of closure. a date has been set for the trial of former us president donald trump on charges of trying to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election. it will be on the 4th of march — in washington. that's one day before super tuesday — when more than a dozen states vote in presidential primary polls — to pick candidates for the 2024 presidential election. mr trump has since said in a social media post that he'll appeal the trial start date — though legal experts say such appeals are not usually successful. our correspondent in washington — sean dilley — sent this update. trump's legal team had hoped to push this trial back until april 2026. whereas the prosecution said that they were ready to start in january next year. both dates were unacceptable to the judge who said that seven months would be the appropriate time. the defendant was entitled for a reasonable time to prepare but that is not unlimited. the trial has been set for the 4th of march. it's always possible that with any trial that could slip for some reason but for the moment, that will be set for the day before super tuesday when various huge states, including california, go to the polls to vote for their favourite candidate for the republican party and democratic party nominees. in other words, the candidates that are going to face off for the white house next year. donald trump hit back pretty quickly on his own social media platform truth social. he said that he would be appealing the decision and he called the judge trump hating and suggested that she and first date of arraignment is set for the 6th of september next week. that's an opportunity where ultimately, a guilty or not guilty plea can be entered. we do know that donald trump has denied all of the charges against him saying that they are all designed to keep him out of the white house. around the world and across the uk this is bbc news. let's move now to australia, where scientists say that an eight centimetres worm has been found alive in the brain of an australian woman — that is a world first. we've been speaking to a member of the medical team who treated the woman. he described what happened. our laboratory in the hospital, our microbiology laboratory got a call from the surgeon saying we've just discovered a live wriggling worm in this patient�*s brain. it's something we've never seen before. help us out. and as the on call infectious diseases physician at the time, my laboratory colleague involved me and we got to work trying to determine what this worm actually was so we could treat this patient. and we look through all the possibilities and realized it might be outside the realms of normal human parasites and canberra being a small place, we were able to send it up the road to the csiro, where an animal parasitologist confidently made the diagnosis. and what we believe has happened is this — so normally this parasite lives in carpet pythons, which is found which are found all over australia. the eggs of the parasite get into the python. faeces, which small mammals or marsupials normally or accidentally consuming their eating foliage, etc. the parasite develops in them until another snake comes along and kills the marsupial or small mammal, and then the life cycle completes itself in the python. what we think has happened here is that our patient collected some native grasses called warrigal greens for consumption, and we think the python faeces and parasite eggs have contaminated that. and by touching that and eating that, she's unfortunately inadvertently become infected. so she's an accidental host. look, i think everyone's grabbed on to the fact of the live worm being removed from the brain. but look, even if you remove that, there is an important a couple of important take home messages here. even though they've been there's been 100 years between true pandemics. new infections are appearing in the world all the time. there have been 30 in the last 30 years. three quarters of those are animal infections which have been have infected human beings. and as our burgeoning human population encroaches on animal habitat habitats, that interaction between humans, domestic animals, wild animals and flora will lead to more of these infections appearing. so that's really important. also, this parasite is found in snakes in other parts of the world. so raising awareness of this case may lead to the identification and treatment of other cases around the world. there's been a lot of debate around plans to introduce a tourism tax in wales — with measures set to come into force within the next two years. the system is already in place in cities across europe. our reporter liam evans has been to spain to see how it works there. fresh food. busy streets. and beaches that stretch for miles. it mightjust be the perfect holiday. but how much extra would you be willing to pay to the local community to enjoy it? valencia's beauty brings more than 2 million people here every year, but maintaining and improving infrastructure to cope with those numbers is expensive. it's notjust in wales where the idea of a tax on tourism is a contentious issue. here in valencia, the government earlier on in the year wanted to bring in a tax on tourism. but since then there have been regional elections and the party now in power, the conservatives, say they want to bring that legislation to an end. the tourism sector is vincenzo's bread and butter. it's been a busy summer, but for how long will that last? maybe not. not in this moment. not because all the people these arrive for the two or three years with the pandemia. no. and then now it's the tourists they want to go around of the the world is with relax and and then they don't want to spend a lot of money. if you increase introducing the tax, maybe in this moment not. at times this city feels a long way from the streets of wales, but the debate has crossed borders. i think it's incumbent on welsh government and others interested in social policy to learn lessons from elsewhere where there certainly there are similar problems and as you say, different approaches have been taken and we need to learn what works, but we also need to learn what hasn't work. but when it comes to a visitor, tourist tax, whatever you want to call it, i think the evidence is overwhelming that we certainly need to generate the income to mitigate the impact. and it is a matter of fairness. well, on this street, on the ramblas, more than likely, these are tourist apartments. barcelona is used to attracting millions of visitors. but whilst there are plenty of regulations to tackle over—tourism, including a tourism tax, housing is still a real issue here. it's very difficult to find an apartment at the moment that's affordable. the salaries basically are left over from 2000. theyjust haven't gone up and the prices have just gone up and up and up. catalonia is already responding and the welsh government says it has already met with representatives to learn lessons. it plans on bringing in legislation by the end of the senate term, with the funds raised by local authorities to be reinvested into communities. wales, like europe's beauty, brings its visitors from all over. how to ensure everyone benefits from that — there's no simple answer. the biggest redheads festival in the world has been taking place in the netherlands. there was no sign of famous redheads like prince harry and ed sheeran — but thousands of other redheads travelled from around the world to be part of the annual gathering. our correspondent in the netherlands anna holligan reports. there is a chance you've never encountered a redhead. people with this rare redhead gene make up less than 2% of the global population. obviously, it is a mutation, and just so punchy. you only see it maybe... see a group of people walking down the street and one of them will be ginger. and that's if you're in scotland or ireland. many redheads have celtic ancestry. a big motivation was just to see more people like us and have a sense of community as a redhead, because it can feel isolating when you don't see a lot of people like you. and here, it'sjust so exciting to see everyone with red hair — no matter the shade of colour — come together and celebrate what has made us _ unique in our own homes and countries. when you're used to being the odd one out... every time i come here, ifeel a bit better about myself. you know that a lot of gingers do get bullied for having red hair, and it's a shame. it's a real shame. this event is designed to shift that narrative and empower people like liam, who's found lifelong friends and a sense of belonging. everybody has a similar experience. lots of people were either bullied or people just have confidence issues. there's a lot of things that actually bring people together here, that we have so much in common, even though we're not even from the same country, same continent. it's a feeling that resonates among the 5,000 redheads gathered in tilburg. ijust wanted to be - around a lot of redheads. my family is like, not that many redheads. | my parents, they don't have red hair, my sister doesn't - have red hair — just me only. it's just incredible cos i don't feel alone any more. i feel together, i feel a part or something, something that i felt like i was missing my whole life. hello again. for the next couple of days, we're looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunny spells and some showers. worth pointing out, though, today, pollen levels across much of england are going to be high. now, what we have today is low pressure in charge of our weather. this front wrapped all the way around it is producing some showers, heaviest across the north of scotland, closest to the centre of the low pressure and it's all slowly slipping southwards as we go through the course of today. so our first weather front continuing to slip south, rejuvenating, producing some heavier rain in the afternoon across parts of wales, the midlands, the home counties and east anglia and the weather front across scotland also slipping south. now, in between for northern england, northern ireland, there'll be some sunny spells and fewer showers and in light winds, our temperatures ia in the north to 21 as we push down towards the south. now through this evening and overnight, ourfirst front continues to head south eastwards before clearing. our second one pushes into northern england, north wales, northern ireland, bringing some showers, but follow the curl round, we're going to see some more showers across the north of scotland. but there will also be a fair bit of clear sky tonight, so it's going to be a cooler night than last night, particularly so in the countryside. so tomorrow, a ridge of high pressure builds across us, so things are quite quiet in terms of the weather. there will be areas of cloud bubbling up through the day, producing some showers. you might hear the odd rumble of thunder, for example, in the afternoon in east anglia and the odd sharp shower here. temperatures, 15 to about 20 degrees north to south. so just down a degree or so. then into thursday, we've got this area of low pressure with its fronts coming in from the atlantic. now, the northern extent of this is still open to a bit of question, but this is what we think at the moment. so across scotland and eastern england, it will start off dry with some sunny spells, but our fronts coming in from the west will push northwards and eastwards introducing thicker cloud and some rain. the heaviest rain will be across southern england. and you could hear the odd rumble of thunder in southern coastal counties. temperatures 1a to 19 degrees, so, again, slipping just that little bit more. and then as we move on into friday, there'll be low cloud, mist and fog to clear from the south and also the far north of scotland. in between, there'll be sunshine and showers and temperatures climbing a little bit at the weekend. today at 1pm: airline passengers are warned of days of disruption because of a glitch in the uk's air traffic control system. the problem was fixed within hours yesterday but it caused hundreds of flight cancellations — with many people still facing knock on delays this week. we've now arranged three trains and a bus, via brussels and the channel, to arrive back in the uk at 10am on wednesday morning, a 17 hourjourney. also this lunchtime — the government claims more than 100,000 new homes could be built because of changes in water pollution laws. from today, london's controversial ultra low emission zone expands to include almost the entire city. here we go. cheers. and every music fan's fantasy — how this 16—year—old was invited onto the stage to play drums with the killers. and coming up on bbc news: novak djokovic will replace carlos alcaraz as the men's world number one following his victory over frenchman alexandre muller in the first round of the us open.
