hello, i'm caitriona perry. you're very welcome. at least 30 people have been killed and more than 160 injured in ukraine after a wave of aerial attacks across the country on friday. ukrainian officials called it the largest missile bombardment of the war so far. ukraine's air force says it has "never seen so many locations targeted simultaneously." cities hit include kyiv, lviv in the west, odesa in the south, and dnipro, kharkiv and zaporizhzhia in eastern ukraine. a maternity hospital and shopping centre were also hit. poland has said an object entered the nato country's airspace overnight. a polish general says the object, which is likely to have been a russian missile, spent less than three minutes over polish territory. from kyiv, our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse reports. it is and always has been the whole

of ukraine which is under attack. kyiv is still moscow's biggest prize. air defences have improved here, but this attack proved too much. translation: i was woken up at 7:30 by a horrible sound. _ it was so frightening, the missile was flying and everything was buzzing, so noisy. you are left in no doubt that this was a direct missile strike, the scale of the damage, the size of the blast zone, the heat caused. you're more used to seeing damage caused by falling debris when a missile is intercepted, but this reflects the scale of this russian attack. and scenes like this are being replicated right across ukraine. a lucky escape in kharkiv in the north—east. this city is familiar with missile strikes, but not 20 in a single morning. a shopping centre in

dnipro in the east, as well as a maternity hospital, were hit. it didn't stop there. this is the port city of odesa in the south, where a residential block was struck. zaporizhzhia wasn't spared either, where at least eight were killed. even lviv in the west, which sometimes feels farfrom this invasion, wasn't immune this time. all military targets were hit, as far as russia's defence ministry was concerned. ukraine's air force says it had never seen so many missiles in one attack. in a war where moscow routinely strikes cities it can't occupy, that is saying something. these are the people who keep ukraine alive, he said. his air

force that it had never seen so many missiles in one attack. in a war where moscow routinely strikes cities it can't occupy, that is saying something. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. us president biden has responded to the attacks on ukraine, saying... and mr biden warned... the united nations says an estimated 150,000 palestinians are being forced to flee areas of central gaza, as israeli forces advance on refugee camps there. an israeli air strike is reported to have killed 20 already displaced people in rafah — a town that many people have fled to in recent days. meanwhile, a hamas delegation has arrived in cairo for talks about a possible truce. hamas is designated

a terror organisation by many western governments. 0ur correspondent shaimaa khalil sent this report from jerusalem. —— yolande knell. explosions. a massive israeli bombing in northern gaza turns an extensive network of hamas tunnels into dust. these idf pictures show a well—equipped infrastructure of long and branched out tunnels in which the army says senior hamas members moved and operated. in central gaza, more than 150,000 people were ordered to evacuate two of the area's biggest refugee camps. and this is where they were told to go for safety — the area of deir al—balah, itself reeling from the aftermath of strikes. translation: we were sitting in our homes peacefully - and all of a sudden, a missile hit and destroyed my house, my neighbour's house, the whole neighbourhood. my children are displaced now, we don't know where to go.

have mercy on us, help us. it is a devastating situation. people are sleeping on the streets. in rafah, now gaza's most densely populated town, according to the un, there's no let—up in the bombardment. children were killed here, 26 people were killed here. i'm terrified. i'm scared and the thought of me being killed or my other brother being killed. it's just crossing my mind repeatedly. i already lost my older brother, i can't lose my younger brother. and this is what egypt's ceasefire proposal is up against, an expanding military operation in gaza and a continuing barrage of hamas rockets into israel. a delegation of hamas members is in cairo now for further discussions, but there is no guarantee that either side is going to agree to this. and if they do, it will be a long, drawn—out process. for now, the displacement continues, and gazans are running

out of places to go. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, jerusalem. south africa has asked the international court ofjustice for an urgent order to halt israel's military campaign in gaza. the filing claims israel's war against hamas is in violation of the i948 genocide convention, which makes it a crime to attempt to destroy a people in whole or in part. on friday, south african officials said the measure was... israel's foreign ministry has called the suit "baseless," saying... no hearing date has been set by the court. israel says it launched

an extensive series of strikes against his brother targets in nearby lebanon. against targets in nearby lebanon. the attacks come in response to missiles fired over the border. these pictures released by the israeli defence forces show them striking what they describe as hezbollah infrastructure near wadi hamul in lebanon. israel says they hit a number of targets including launch sites and a military compound. the strikes impacted the iran—backed group's positioning near the border, though israel said it doesn't intend to open its border with lebanon. the two sides have traded strikes continuously since the hamas's october 7th attacks. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has warned that beirut would be turned "into gaza" if hezbollah started an all—out war. following the october 7th hamas attacks on israel, the number of anti—semitic hate crimes recorded by some of the uk's largest police forces rose sharply. data released by 31 uk police forces show incidents peaked in larger urban areas, though hate crimes overall appear to have fallen significantly

over the last decade. the bbc�*s home editor mark easton reports. in the weeks after the start of the israel hamas conflict, tensions spilt over into a spike in anti—semitic and islamophobic hate incidents in the uk. data obtained from freedom of information request show in england's more diverse areas, police saw a rise in anti—jewish incidents in the month following the hamas attacks of october the 7th. greater manchester police recorded 7a anti—semitic incidences. the ripples that sends out across

household ones either. perhaps the biggest among them is matthew elliott, who set up a think tank called the taxpayers' alliance. and then he became the leader of the vote leave campaign. a significant figure from the european union. some of the other names on their include allies on the conservative benches in the house of commons, who are getting knighthoods and damn hoods. then we have that have been good been names in the house of lords —— dame hoods. it has allowed to do this in the first place, the labour party have said it rishi sunak should have blocked this. that is probably unlikely, rishi sunak making it clear through his people in downing street that he was just simply following convention and all

bit of a run on the pound. an immediate overnight increasing in interest rates in the uk. there were international factors there, too. interest rates have gone up in the us, but labour using that as a stick to beat the current conservative administration. the thinking is the voters will look very dimly on this new set of honours. many of them are close allies involved in the ill—fated liz truss administration. she, though, has said these individuals are more than deserving of their owners. they go back some years. —— honours. before she got the topjob of years. —— honours. before she got the top job of prime minister, years. —— honours. before she got the topjob of prime minister, and she is saying there are individuals who are temp is eans —— champions of freedom and a proud and sovereign britain. . , , freedom and a proud and sovereign

fairly limited list. it certainly is compared to her predecessor boris johnson, but then again, he was prime ministerfor an johnson, but then again, he was prime minister for an awful lot longer. prime minister for an awful lot loner. ., longer. indeed. pete saull, thanks for all that- _ tributes have been paid to a man who died after a car hit a group of people in britain. police say christian marriott had stopped to help an unconscious woman after an argument between two groups of people in sheffield. his family honoured the 46—year—old saying the circumstances of his death "show the sort of man he was — going to help rather than to turn away." 0livia richwald reports. chris marriott spent his life helping others — at a food bank, for a debt advice charity, and volunteering to make life better for those less fortunate than himself. the father of two young boys had a strong christian faith. when he saw an unconscious woman while out on a walk with his family, he rushed to help her and give first aid. but while he was trying to save her life, he lost his own. his boss said the it manager would always help others. chris's sort of whole raison

d'etre was to help others. i mean, he would sort of see anybody and be prepared to go and help, and i think that he just had a heart for people. this is where chris marriott was hit and killed. a wedding party had been taking place in a house in this cul—de—sac. it descended into violence and disorder and that spilt out into the street. chris marriott was just an innocent passer—by. just be a good samaritan, which any good person, and he lost his life and, you know, it'sjust a big, big loss to the family and to the community as a whole. in a statement, chris marriott's family said... one man, aged 23, remains

in police custody. a 55—year—old man has been released on bail. a real good samaritan, chris marriott died trying to save a woman's life. she's in hospital in a life—threatening condition. 0livia richwald, bbc news, sheffield. in south africa, great white shark sightings are on the rise, along with fatal attacks. daniel de simone sent this report from cape town on the measures taken to keep people and sharks safely apart. protecting the public from sharks by scanning the waters of cape town. i'm checking for the movement in the water. from here, i have to see whatever is coming, be it fish, sharks, dolphins or whales. here, christmas is summertime and great white sharks have been seen this month for the first time in years. a sighting means an alert and the sea cleared of swimmers. men shout. each morning, the team seeks to create a safe bathing area off one beach.

there have been fatal shark attacks in this bay in the past, and that's what has led to this exclusion net being put in to keep sharks away. the team here are actually putting the net down to the sea bed and right across the bay to keep sharks away from swimmers. how close can the sharks come in in this bay we are in now? like, close. they come inshore, like waist deep already. they come in close. the nets are lifted each evening to avoid hurting or killing sea life. up the coast at plettenberg bay the shark spotters were called in up the coast at plettenberg bay, the shark spotters were called in after two fatal attacks last year. hi, i'm kimon. kimon bisogno ran a pizza restaurant with her partner, diego. she was very bright, | bright in personality, big smile on her face, playful and kind and l with a big, big heart. she was killed by a great white shark, the second person to die in months.

only then were shark spotting measures put in place. an action sometimes will make a difference and not action will never make a difference. if someone put up a sign and say, "beware of shark", and that isjust one action. a new kind of shark barrier is being built in cape town. it's recently been fitted on a private island in the bahamas. designed to mimic an underwater forest of kelp, which sharks which sharks dislike, it contains magnets intended to repel them. sharks have a very sensitive organ around their eye - land around their nose that allows| them to feel electric and magnetic fields in the water. we overwhelm that sense.

so it is very uncomfortable for them to come closer than one _ metre to this magnet. some places seek to tackle danger from sharks by killing them, but in cape town, the approach is different. to stay with us here on bbc news. take care. hello. well, new year's eve is just around the corner. obviously, a lot happening, but we've also got some bad weather on the way. and here's some advice for you this weekend — with the very heavy rain and the gale force winds, there could be some disruption, certainly some delays are likely. and on top of that, we've got snow on the way for the northern hills and mountains. and here's the area of low pressure, as it approaches us during the course of early saturday. now, ahead of it, the weather's actually not too bad. there'll be some clear spells and some chilly frosty weather in scotland. but elsewhere, you can see that milder weather already setting in. so here's the low pressure — lots of isobars here. obviously, the more isobars

there are, the stronger the winds. here's that weather front as it sweeps across ireland, towards the west of england, wales and scotland, some snow there, blizzards across the mountains. temperatures around 12 degrees in the south, ten in liverpool. further north, it will be colder. now, how about that really rough weather? well, it'll happen along this cold front here. very strong winds around coastal areas, exposed spots, 60, maybe even 70 miles an hour. very windy inland, too. notice how that weather front curls into the center of this low pressure. and that cold front actually doesn't reach eastern areas until very late — early hours of sunday, in fact. so, the low pressure barrels across the uk into new year's eve and actually, many of us find ourselves in the centre of that low. why is that important? well, actually, the winds are very light in the heart of the low here. that also means that any showers will linger for a long period of time. there's just a few sunny spells around. the stronger winds will be towards the south. and then, if we head towards midnight, this is roughly what it will look like. i mean, this forecast will still change the details

and the positions of these showers. but broadly speaking, notice this patchy nature of rain and also the clear spells at the stroke of midnight. so, further north, i think this is where the best of the weather will be — further south across the uk, we've got the strong winds and also those frequent showers. and then, new year's day, another area of low pressure heads our way. another set of weather fronts, a more prolonged spell of rain. so, really, the first week of 2024 is looking very unsettled, relatively mild with those temperatures typically around sort of 8—10 degrees, i think, for most of us. that's it from me. bye—bye.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. it's like something from a 60 spies movie it is incredible. with soviet influences... meet ancient traditions. this is amazing. i can't believe this. this is where archers

would have stood and fast landscapes hide impressive relics. pretty astonishing that i'm able to still walk around here. for the best part of a century, this country has been off—limits to many outsiders. but in recent years, that has been changing. and i am on a journey to see what we have been missing out on. this is is pakistan. -- is

this is uzbekistan.
