Great surprise. I dont think it is a deliberate attempt to the rescue. It is simply that kherson has been shelled all these months. The situation clearly in the city is critical, there are some parts of it which are a lot worse than the pictures that you are looking at now. I have seen scenes from an area where the dnipro and kakhovka rivers join, which are basically underwater, the water has reached rooftop levels, so there are neighbourhoods of kherson that are completely submerged. And that very much echoes the scene elsewhere along the dnipro, where, in these little communities on either side of the river, you are seeing similar scenes, with the river suddenly massively expanded as a result of this huge volume of water that is flooding down from what was a vast reservoir above the dam. That reservoir is emptying and sending colossal quantities of water down the dnipro river and into the black sea and causing devastation as it goes, notjust in those communities where people are livi ....
have the latest on that will come back to verify live. let s return straightaway to our story because both cad and moscow blame each other for the breach of that damn. meanwhile, people downstream of the dam are having to flee advancing floodwaters while those others have lost access to safe drinking water. let me just show you some of the latest pictures that we are getting from the region, because right throughout the day we have been seeing the rising waters. we have also seen in terms of the rescue efforts, multiple rescue efforts of people being plucked from rooftops. we heard that people are actually staying in trees overnight to try and escape all of that that you are seeing on the screen. let s speak to a climate and environmental policy expert from eco action ukraine, the civil society organisation that has been studying environmental impacts of the war in the country. thank you so much for being here on the programme. in terms of your assessment of the impact ....

Is not clear whether they will do that again over the summer. heathrow is saying they will do everything they can to limit disruption but it might take a bit longer to get through security if you are flying out of the uk on your summer holidays but it will depend, the extent of those queues could depend on how well heathrow is able to fill in those staffing gaps to provide contingency measures stop at the moment is not totally clear how big the impact could be but a busy time of the year over some of these big summer holiday getaway weekends. i think it s fair to say you could be looking at some queues to get through security at heathrow but at the moment are unclear and no airlines have said whether they will cancel any flights as a result. katie, thank you very much and katie is monitoring this carefully. this is monitoring this carefully. this is bbc news. and to remind you that one of the stories that has broken over the last hour or so, and major escalation in the dispute between ....
Talking about didn t actually have a huge impact because heathrow airport put some contingency measures in place such as getting agency workers send. at the start of the british airways which is the only airline that uses terminal five, cancelled some flights and advance as a precaution so we are not clear at the moment whether they will do that again over the summer. heathrow was saying today they will do everything they can to minimise disruption but i think the impact you might see is perhaps taking a little bit longer to get through security if you are flying out of the uk on holidays, for example. and the extent of that will depend on how well heathrow is able to fill in those staffing gaps to provide contingency members. so at the moment it s not totally clear how big the impact will be but a very busy time of year over some of these big summer holiday getaway weekend. i think it s fair to say that we could be looking at some cues to get through security of ....
