and are in custody. and the vehicle has also been seized. and as we were hearing from the police there, a murder investigation has now been launched. the police commander superintendent mark runacres who we saw just then superintendent mark runacres who we sawjust then said officers are keen to speak to passengers who were on a bus around the time that the stabbings occurred. he said our collective thoughts are with families at what is undoubtedly a very difficult time. you can see there live pictures at the scene. that's the bus that i mention there. there is a police cordoned blocking off the street there as those investigations continue, and that gordon is in place on ilminster avenue between tavistock road and newquay road because there is a police presence on the scene, and we can see police there as forensic searches and other inquiries continue to be conducted. the

victims have yet to be identified. but those investigations continue. so just a reminder before we leave those pictures live in bristol that two boys aged 15 and 16 have died after they were stabbed in the south—west of england. we will leave the live pictures but we will stay on that story throughout the day on bbc news. the united nations has made a plea for governments not to withdraw funding from its main agency which delivers aid to palestinians in gaza — known as unwra. it comes as france becomes the latest country to pull money for the organisation — after israel alleged that 12 of its staff were involved in the deadly october 7th attacks by hamas. the agency, which employs 30,000 members of staff, 1,300 who work in gaza, says it is investigating and has already sacked nine employees.

mr guterres, says, "the tens of thousands of men and women who work for unrwa, many in some of the most dangerous situations for humanitarian workers, should not be penalised. the dire needs of the desperate populations they serve must be met." here's un spokesman, stephane dujarric speaking earlier. the secretary general is horrified by this news and asks mr lazzarini to investigate this matter swiftly and to ensure that any unrwa employees shown to have participated or abetted in what transpired on october 7th, or in any other criminal activity, be terminated immediately and referred for potential criminal prosecution. a total of ten countries have paused their funding for unrwa, including the us and the uk — although scotland has not changed its policy and is urging others to continue with the funding. the norwegian foreign minister, espen barth eide, said norway, which is one of unrwa's biggest

donors, would also continue its aid. nabil abu rudeineh, the spokesman for the palestinian president — and the local deputy prime minister — also criticised the countries' decision to halt aid. the step simultaneously taken during the war in gaza sends the wrong message. there is a war against the palestinian people. this decision is incorrect and should be stopped immediately. we urge all these all these countries to repay unrwa because it's a humanitarian issue. it has been taken in a wrong time. and we hope that they will come back soon to understand that the need of the people in gaza and everywhere is a necessity for continuing living on this earth. let's get some background and history on this agency, unrwa. the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees in the near east — known as unrwa was established in 19119 by the united

nations general assembly. its mandate is to help palestinians displaced by the 19118 palestinian war and subsequent conflicts. unwra operates in five key areas: jordan, lebanon, syria, the gaza strip, and the west bank — including eastjerusalem. it currently employs over 30,000 people, most of them palestinian refugees, and a small number of international staff. by 2019, more than 5.6 million palestinians were registered with unrwa as refugees. unrwa's mandate is subject to periodic renewal every three years — and it has consistently been extended since its founding, most recently until 30th june 2026. our middle east correspondent mark lowen outlined the latest fallout from israel's allegations against members of unrwa staff, working in gaza. looking at those allegations, the un says that it concerns

12 members of staff. nine of them have been immediately dismissed. two are currently being identified and one, says the un secretary—general, has died. the seriousness with which the un is taking these accusations shows that they were incredibly serious, that these members of unrwa were alleged to have taken part in those attacks on 7th october. i also think that there is some international politics going on here because western governments are seeing an opportunity here to show a sympathetic understanding ear to israel publicly by pausing theirfunding of unrwa, while at the same time keeping up that quite sustained pressure on the israeli government at the moment to try to rein in its offensive. as for the israeli authorities, they also see an opportunity here to prove what they have long alleged and long believed, which is that the agencies of the un

are biased or anti—semitic, they have long argued that unrwa encourages palestinians to, that the status of palestinians as refugees to be entrenched, longing to return to historic palestine, and therefore harbouring a hatred of israel. this is an opportunity for israelis to bolster their argument. mark lowen in jerusalem. meanwhile the israel military is pressing ahead with its operation against hamas in the south of the gaza strip. palestinians continue to stream out of khan younis, where the israeli army says it's involved in intense fighting. multiple israeli air strikes have been reported there. the hamas—run health ministry says 165 palestinians have been killed in the past 2a hours, taking the total number killed since the start of the war to more than 26,400. meanwhile, diplomatic efforts to free more than 130 hostages still held by hamas are gathering pace.

the head of the cia is expected to meet officials from israel, egypt and qatar at an undisclosed location in france, where they'll work to secure the release of the hostages held in gaza. many western governments consider hamas to be a terrorist organisation. we spoke earlier to nawaf al thani, who is qatar's former director of intelligence operations and formerly a defence attache to the united states. he told us qatar continues to push for the peaceful resolution of the conflict. qatar, for instance, as the lead negotiator in this has made it extremely clear multiple times that they will keep this very secretive because of the nature of negotiations. but what we can expect is that a lasting ceasefire should come about, a longer ceasefire than the last ones we had, obviously, and release of hostages and aid for the palestinian civilians. unfortunately, on the other side,

the political wrangling and games that are being played, whether globally or internally in israel, especially from the new conservative government of netanyahu is a bit confusing. for instance, criticising qatar on one side and then asking for its help on the other and sends mixed messages and isn't helpful. i think focusing on the mission at hand should be israel's main concern, releasing of the hostages, ceasefire, and a lasting peace. nawaf al thani. the uk government says it remains undaunted after houthis targeted a british warship in the red sea during the latest round of strikes. these pictures show the moment hms diamond repelled the attack by firing sea viper missiles at an incoming which was heading directly towards the ship. the warship is currently situated in the red sea to protect merchant ships from houthi attacks. the uk ministry of defence says there were no injuries or damage. this latest strike from the iran backed group comes days after an oil

tanker with british links was also hit — and went up in flames. the fire on the marlin luanda was extinguished with no crew injured after french, indian and us naval ships provided assistance to the vessel. responding to the recent attacks — uk defence secretary grant shapps wrote: our political correspondent harry farley has the latest. this is in the first time hms diamond, which is a british navy destroyer in the red sea, not the first time that hms diamond has been targeted by houthi drones. the statement from the ministry of defence in london saying that this was an intolerable and illegal attack, which is completely unacceptable and the ministry of defence says

it is our duty to protect freedom of navigation in international waters. and as you say the defence secretary grant shapps also condemning this attack. he says the uk remains undaunted. so what happened, we understand, yesterday afternoon, the houthi group in yemen launched a drone targeting hms diamond. the crew on hms diamond activated the ship's sea viper missile system, missile system that costs more than £1 million per missile command destroyed the drone. they say that there was no damage or injuries to anyone on board. but of course this isn't the first time that hms diamond has been attacked and it does raise questions about whether the uk will be drawn into future air of course the uk is already has already struck houthi targets in yemen oncejoining the us in doing that and it is raising the question of whether it will do that again. that is harry farley. more on that

story on the bbc news website. now it's time to look at today's sport with sarah who has the latest from the australian tennis. let's start with a captivating men's final at the australian open, where italianjannik sinner fought back from two sets down against daniil medvedev to win a first grand slam title. the russian, who was looking for his second grand slam title, dominated the first set taking it 6—3. and while the second set felt closer, medvedev also took that by the same score line. however, then sinner, who was playing in his first final recovered. and started to impose his game on medvedev. with the 22—year—old winning the next three sets 6—4, 6—4, 6—3 to take the title. it was another bitter experience for medvedev, who also blew a two—set lead against rafael nadal in the 2022 final. sinner becoming the first australian champion for a decade not to be named novak djokovic,

rafa nadal or roger federer. now to cricket where tourists england managed one of their best ever away wins, stunning india with a 28—run victory in a dramatic finish to the first test in hyderabad. india had lost only three of their previous 46 home tests and this england victory came despite a vastly inexperienced attack and with senior spinner jack leach hampered by injury. 7—62 from debutant spinner tom hartley helping england set india 231 to win. they managed to get the hosts out for 202 in the final over of the extra half—hour at the end of the fourth day. one of the all—time great innings too by ollie pope as he made 196 for england with the bat. i think since becoming captain this is definitely the number one when. we have been part of some amazing games over the last two years. we have had some incredible victories.

i think considering where we are, who we played against in the position we found ourselves going to in our second innings batting, to be able to sit now and say we are 1—0 up able to sit now and say we are 1—0 up it is a big reason to say why i feel this is our best victory since i have become captain. to another big cricketing win, as west indies have pulled off a shock victory in australia, their first test victory in the country since 1997. the home side went into day four in brisbane well on their way to reaching their target of 216. but shamarjoseph, despite an injured toe, took seven of the remaining eight wickets in just his second test match to take the windies to an eight—run win. the tourists finished the series level having taken an understrength side to australia. to the fa cup in england now, where play was suspended after trouble broke out in the stands during west brom's derby against wolves at the hawthorns. the stoppage came shortly after matheus cunha had struck to give wolves a 2—0 lead over their rivals in the 78th minute. police and security rushed to a corner of the ground supposedly

holding home fans as the disturbance developed, while the players were ushered off the pitch. there appeared to be a lot of pushing and shoving in the stand and there had been pockets of incidents earlier in the game. some west brom players were concerned for family members seated nearby and went into the stand to remove their children. play eventually resumed about a half hour later. it finished 2—0 there. there are four matches in the fourth round of the fa cup today. confirmation of the early score, liverpool in action right now against norwich. it is half time in that game. the first one since jurgen klopp announced he was leaving the club. liverpool leading 2-1. leaving the club. liverpool leading 2—1. watford leaving the club. liverpool leading 2—1.watford1—0 up against southampton and newport against manchester united kicks off later. newport of league 2.

australia set up a tasty asian cup quarterfinal clash against south korea or saudi arabia with a 4—0 win over a spirited but limited indonesia on sunday. two goals in the first half put graham arnold's side on their way. with indonesia struggling for pace towards the end of the game craig goodwin volleyed in a rebound on 89 minutes for 3—0. and defender harry souttar made it four in stoppage time. it was australia's third clean sheet in four matches and they have conceded only once. and that's all the sport for now. how to istanbul. one person has been killed and several injured in an attack by mastodon mel on a catholic church. the shooting happened at the church. the shooting happened at the church of santa maria at around 11:40am. this is the moment and masked gunmen were on their way to the church. turkey cosmic interior minister condemned the violent attack and said an investigation has begun. police are still searching

for the suspect�*s. —— attacked by masked gunmen. there is a real sense of shock here in the community about what has happened. turkey cosmic interior minister hasjust left happened. turkey cosmic interior minister has just left after visiting the church behind me and offered his condolences to the congregation and to the priest. as he was leaving, he said there were those who are trying to destroy the unity that exists between different religions in turkey and it would not succeed. local officials have been stressing to us that this is an area where christians and muslims have lived together in harmony. one local official who we met this morning was so distressed he was close to tears and could hardly speak. cctv footage has emerged which appears to show the moment of the attack. it is very chilling, two gunmen who are masked walk into the back of the church. they appear to be following a man in black. the congregation are already

on their feet facing the altar and they become aware of the shooting behind them. they start to dock and try to hide. but this appeared very much to be targeted killing. the gunmen went directly for this one man, they shot him and once that happened they moved quite calmly towards the back of the church and left. there is a large police presence here are still in the area. we have been hearing police helicopters. the search for the attackers is ongoing. there has been no claim of responsibility for this attack. we don't know what the motive may be. attacks like this on turkey's christian minority are rare. they have happened in the past but they are a rare occurrence. $5 but they are a rare occurrence. as ou but they are a rare occurrence. as you are saying, police continued to search for the suspects. do we know any more about the scale of that police operation? we any more about the scale of that police operation?— any more about the scale of that police operation? we know there is a heavy security _ police operation? we know there is a heavy security presence _ police operation? we know there is a heavy security presence here - police operation? we know there is a heavy security presence here in - police operation? we know there is a heavy security presence here in the l heavy security presence here in the streets around by the church and they are closed. i have to say on

they are closed. i have to say on the main road nearby traffic is moving freely. we have had some information provided by a relative of the dead man. he told turkish media that the victim was 52 years old and he was single. he also said that he was planning to become a member of the christian faith. he was planning to be baptised. but that hadn't actually happened yet. beyond that, we don't have information, much more information about the victim himself or about the attackers. but i should say that at the end of last year the authorities here in turkey arrested 29 people who they said were connected with the so—called islamic state and they said that these people had been planning to carry out attacks on places of worship here in istanbulfor both out attacks on places of worship here in istanbul for both christians and jews. but as i say, at this stage we have no information about whether or not this attack is connected with any particular group. senior international correspondent

in inverness to nine in southampton but today has been significantly milder, 15 degrees likely in the moray firth and around north wales. all due to a strengthening southerly wind which has been picking up ahead of this band of rain, still very gusty through the irish sea into the central belt of scotland. it's been windier in the north—west of scotland but this evening, those winds are beginning to ease and the winds will fall lighter elsewhere as that band of rain moves through scotland and northern ireland and comes to rest across northern england and wales. to the north it is going to be colder, north of the central belt there could be frost early on monday morning. south of our band of rain, it is much, much milder. that rain could be heavy over the hills particularly in the north—west of england, much of scotland and northern ireland could be dry with some sunshine, significantly colder, mind you, than it is today, temperatures taking quite a tumble. but across the midlands, east anglia and the south—east where it is still dry we still have some mild air, temperatures 1a or 15 degrees. wet weather in some places, and after dark we could see some snow falling over the southern uplands leaving some icy conditions by tuesday. by tuesday morning, that area of low pressure will have taken the wet weather out of the way, leaving a cloudy start for england

and wales but we will have sunshine for scotland and northern ireland and that will push its way south through the day and introduce colder air again. it may make 12 degrees for a while in the south—east but i think eight or nine nearer the mark on tuesday afternoon. we've got lighter winds in southern parts of the uk into wednesday but further north a different story, wet and windy weather driving in on that weather front there. and it's going to be particularly windy across the far north of scotland, but there'll be gales widely into scotland, northern ireland and the north of england, over the hills in the highlands there could be a couple of inches of rain on wednesday. that wet and windy weather sweeps into northern ireland, england and wales look dry, some sunshine and temperatures are still 10 or 11 degrees. as that weather front takes the rain southwards, after dark the rain just dies out, and then we will see a weather front returning to the north—west bringing back the milder air.
