been informed. they continue to be supported by specially trained officers. a significant development. we have been here since this morning and there was a sudden burst of activity around 11 o'clock this morning, just about 200 metres from where i'm standing, certainly of vehicles and officers and other teams arrived at a fairly small area of the river. we saw a boat with three officers in the boats with an underwater diver alongside it. there seem to be focus on the area of the river for around seem to be focus on the area of the riverfor around one hour. we saw forensic vehicles arrived during the time, and itappears forensic vehicles arrived during the time, and it appears that may have been what they found. we were told something was happening, there was a significant police operation taking place, and this appears to be the reason why that activity was taking

place. it has been a week today since gaynor lord went missing. she was working at a department store in the city, in the basements in the gym counter, and everything appeared to be normal, normal working day. she left early, finished her shift early on that day for some reason, and was seen on cctv walking hurriedly through the city centre. she was last seen in the park behind me by a member of the public, who said she appeared to be doing some kind of yoga pose. it was strange description and it seemed to be a strange series of events that afternoon, with friends saying it was unusual for gaynor lord to do something like this, and today a body has been found. it's been a

morning of activity in the last hour and a half. certainly there seem to be a large number of officers all focus on that particular area of the river. a small section of it where we saw that boat with divers around it. as i say, it is a significant development. a body has been found, formal identification yet to be taken place, but gaynor lord's family have been informed. we will be back with _ family have been informed. we will be back with you _ family have been informed. we will be back with you with _ family have been informed. we will. be back with you with developments. we will bring you up—to—date with the israel and gaza were. there's been further assaults, and children are reported to be those killed during the night. diplomatic efforts have stepped up, jake sullivan is in the region and is due to meet the palestinian authority president. live now to michael clarke, former

director—general, now a security analyst. always good to have you. can they ask you about jake sullivan's comments after he met with a security cabinet and benjamin netanyahu? he talks about the need for precision strikes in gaza, and what binder strikes have there been so far, and argues precision strikes possible in such a densely populated area? . , ., possible in such a densely populated area? .,., , «m possible in such a densely populated area? , ~ .,, possible in such a densely populated area? , ~ ., area? precision strikes are only a matter of degree _ area? precision strikes are only a matter of degree when _ area? precision strikes are only a matter of degree when you've . area? precision strikes are only a| matter of degree when you've got 2 million people crammed into an area that small. there is a worrying evidence the israelis have been using bombs, as much as they been using bombs, as much as they been using precision weapons. why they may be using them is a matter for them. �* , ., , ., may be using them is a matter for them. �* ,, , ., ., in them. and you explain that bomb? it is siml them. and you explain that bomb? it is simply drapped _ them. and you explain that bomb? it is simply dropped from _ them. and you explain that bomb? it is simply dropped from an _ them. and you explain that bomb? it is simply dropped from an aircraft, i is simply dropped from an aircraft, so the aircraft chooses a target, and drops the bomb, but it may be subject to wind drift or human

error. bombing small areas from fibre 10,000 feet above is not easy, whereas a precision weapon is located on its target, its nose before it is released where it is going. precision weapons buying large don't go wrong. when it is hit, it is normally an intelligence failure. these weapons don't go wrong often. dropping bombs is guaranteed to make more collateral damage and more civilian deaths than you would expect. that clearly has annoyed the americans, it has upset some of the things they have said. what jake sullivan is talking about, he wants to see more precision. the other phrase, he said they want to see some transitioning away from high—intensity operations. when the israelis have got some security, in khan younis, the urban areas, the americans want to see them dial down

the intensity in order to actually create a more secure arrangement for them, which doesn't require them to be so aggressive in the way they are attacking. when the israelis will decide they can do that is a matter of some dispute. i noticed lloyd austin will be in the region next week, so the message takes a loving is delivering will be reinforced next week when the secretary of state for defence get their next week. he will say the same thing. [30 week. he will say the same thing. do week. he will say the same thing. do we know how much israel's bombardment of the gaza strip has actually undermined hamas's capabilities? it actually undermined hamas's capabilities?— actually undermined hamas's caabilities? ., , ., capabilities? it has in the north, the israelis _ capabilities? it has in the north, the israelis are _ capabilities? it has in the north, the israelis are still— capabilities? it has in the north, the israelis are still around - capabilities? it has in the north, the israelis are still around the i the israelis are still around the big refugee camp in the north, which they say has been a centre for hamas operations and weapons development. there is a third of gaza city they

are moving into, the suburb there. there is more to do in the north from israel's point of view. they have actually destroyed the physical basis of hamas operations in the north, not because hamas people have moved to the south, mixing in with the syrian populations and hiding in the syrian populations and hiding in the tunnels which are extensive. what about those bunkers and panels? how much damage has been done? irate how much damage has been done? - don't know for certain, they have flooded the north. thejob is less than half done. they've only accounted for 5000, 7000 hamas fighters, terrorists, whatever word you want to use out of 20,000 trained. in addition, hamas can call on a lot of part—timers, people who will turn out at the weekend. if the israelis think they have to account for, capture or kill 30,000 hamas

people out of 600,000 men of appropriate age who exist in the population, then they've only accounted for five and 7000 of those 30,000, so thejob is not half done. the other half of the job in the southis the other half of the job in the south is much more difficult than in the north, which is why the israelis are still operating at high intensity, which is what worries the americans and upsets people in the world. m? americans and upsets people in the world. y americans and upsets people in the world. g ., world. my goal, good to get your thou~hts. world. my goal, good to get your thoughts. thank _ world. my goal, good to get your thoughts. thank you _ world. my goal, good to get your thoughts. thank you joining - world. my goal, good to get your thoughts. thank youjoining us. i hungary has blocked more than 50 billion dollars in eu aid for ukraine, hours after agreement was reached on starting membership talks with kyiv. after late night negotiations, the hungarian president victor 0rban posted on social media "summary of the night shift: veto for the extra money to ukraine." he then left for the night.

speaking to reporters, charles michel — the president of the european council — focused instead on what i don't want to go too much into the detail, because i want to work with the colleagues in the days to come, in the weeks to come, to prepare that summit that will take place next year, early next year. but i would like to send a positive and a reassuring signal because we have tools to guarantee that we are reliable and that the ukraines can count on our support. live now to katalin cseh — who was elected as a member of the european parliament in the 2019 parliamentary election, representing the opposition party momentum movement. very good to see you. what is the reaction of the opposition to the fact he has used his veto? honestly, i have fact he has used his veto? honestly, i have mixed — fact he has used his veto? honestly, i have mixed feelings _ fact he has used his veto? honestly, i have mixed feelings about - fact he has used his veto? honestly, i have mixed feelings about the - i have mixed feelings about the summit. it is historic that ukraine steps on

the path of succession to the european union. a deserved decision they fought hard for. but as a hungarian i can't help but wonder why victoria 0rban is putting it in jeopardy by vetoing an aid package to ukraine. i think this does not serve the interests, security interests of hungarian citizens, nor the interests of a strong european union that we should be working for. it is up for everyone to decide, but it is up for everyone to decide, but i think it is clearly correlating with the interests of vladimir putin. . , ., with the interests of vladimir putin. ., , ., , ., with the interests of vladimir putin. ., . ., ., putin. can you explain victoria 0rban's relationship _ putin. can you explain victoria 0rban's relationship with - putin. can you explain victoria . 0rban's relationship with vladimir putin and the kremlin?

he met with president putin after the onslaught against ukraine. he received a medal of friendship from sergey lavrov, and it is clear in the last year and a half, victor 0rban has been using his veto power as a trojan horse next to the negotiating tables. his own state media is overflowing with russian propaganda of the worst kinds. frankly, it is very hard for me to comprehend how can he can reconcile this with a security interest of hungary. we are bordering with ukraine and we need a strong and stable neighbour he was a member of our european community, and he's against it. our european community, and he's auainst it. . ., against it. the uc interference from russia in everyday _ against it. the uc interference from russia in everyday life _ against it. the uc interference from russia in everyday life in _ against it. the uc interference from russia in everyday life in hungary? | russia in everyday life in hungary? —— do you see. it russia in everyday life in hungary? -- do you see-— -- do you see. it is shocking when we turn on — -- do you see. it is shocking when we turn on the _ -- do you see. it is shocking when we turn on the television, - -- do you see. it is shocking when

information out of tech companies where a child has died in a way that might have been linked to the online world. but now the families believe the government is watering that down, with it only applying in cases where a child has taken their own life. breck bednar, murdered aged just 1a by a fellow gamer he met online who then posted photos of his crime on the internet. 0lly stephens, a 13—year—old, was murdered by two boys, with social media at the heart of the case. lorin and stuart were among ten parents who wrote a fortnight ago to michelle donelan, the secretary of state for science, saying they were devastated and bewildered by the government's callous change of position. i mean, we literally even celebrated, you know, as campaigners in a big group. and we felt so proud and pleased that the work that we had done had made these changes that were so important for other families.

so then to find out that that moment was all false or fake is quite hurtful. and we're angry. you know, as a group, as individuals, we're angry. and it's not right to backtrack. it's not right to have something taken away that was already agreed on. you need to understand. you need to know what happened. no matter how traumatic or how brutal it is to hear, you need to hear it, because that was your child. you raised that child, you loved that child and you thought you'd done a good job. but somebody else, through another medium, was able to step in and take your child. in a reply to the families, michelle donelan said she took the commitments the government had made incredibly seriously, but that she thought her proposals achieved their aims. cases of murder are not covered, she said, because an inquest would usually take place after criminal proceedings. she said the police have their own extensive powers to get

information from tech firms. she concluded... "i want to ensure that we work together to get this right." so now it's back to the house of lords, where the legislation in question arrives next week. there the ministers will face baroness kidron, a film director turned campaigner on online safety. i say this more in sadness than in anger that they have slipped up so catastrophically. the government's saying that it's only relevant to children who take their own lives because the police can investigate. i mean, first of all, how do you know what has happened to a child until you get the information? and indeed, the police can only ever investigate if they think there's a crime. lorin and stuart won't be the last parents to lose children this way. this government won't be the last to face these issues. henry zeffman, bbc news, westminster.

mexican president andres manuel lopez 0brador is unveiling a new multi—billion dollar rail network called the tren maya. it's forecast to bring an additional two million more people to the impoverished yucatan peninsula every year, but it's run massively overbudget and critics say it's an environmental catastrophe. will grant reports from southern mexico. to the ancient maya, the cenotes of the yucatan peninsula were sacred, portals to the underworld and one of the most un—spoilt freshwater ecosystems in the americas. but directly above them is this. the mexican president's pet infrastructure project, the tren maya, a 1,500 kilometre long rail link to bring tourism to the jungle. environmentlists are horrified. the deforestation alone has destroyed fragile habitats forjaguars and macaws. activists took us in to the labyrinth below to show another environmental cost — water pollution. once the water gets polluted,

no life will be able to be sustained in this area. is it no exaggeration to say essentially what is going on above the surface is killing what is going on beneath the surface? for sure, definitely. the team takes readings to say where water quality is getting worse. they say the stalactites, which naturally filtrate rain water, are being clogged by cement dust. so, putting something as huge and as destructive as the tren maya, a massive man—made construction, is obviously going to have a huge impact, but it is also all the other things that come with it, the arrival of millions of tourists, the movement of material and fuel, all of it will hurt this subterranean ecosystem. above ground, the tren maya has divided communities. this one, vida y experanza, has been bisected by a maintanance station. some were well compensated for their land but benjamin chim had his fields dynamited and turned into a quarry. he received nothing for them as,

like many maya farmers, he couldn't prove ownership. translation: we'd worked this land for 40 years. - i applied for the deeds but never received them. as he test drove the train, president lopez 0brador calls it the greatest construction in the world. but the line from cancun south changed mid—construction after pressure from luxury hotels. activists fear surveys were rushed and the elevated track could collapse. "nonsense", says its director. tren maya is a great, great infrastructure. every mexican, every tourist, international tourist, transporting themselves in our train, they will be safe. these cenotes are archaeological gems, burial sites of some of the first peoples of the americas. the tren maya will bring more tourists to the yucatan but the rush

to develop could also ruin the hidden treasures upon which the region was founded. will grant, bbc news, the yucatan peninsula. a state memorial service has taken place at the sydney opera house for the entertainer barry humphries, who died in april aged 89. hundreds gathered to celebrate the life of the man behind dame edna everage, with tributes from king charles and sir elton john. 0ur correspondent, phil mercer has more. one of australia's brightest stars has been remembered as a comic genius. hello, possums, yes, it's me, dame edna, and aren't i looking gorgeous?! barry humphries introduced the world to many brilliant. and unforgettable characters. the state memorial at the sydney opera brought together family, friends, and hundreds of fans. ah, well, it's in honour of edna, of course, and the extraordinary
