serious hand injuries. the woman officer has a very badly damaged arm, really seriously damaged. and the surgeon spent many, many hours basically putting her arm back together. police storm a university in new york where students had been protesting about the war in gaza. a fall in uk house prices — for the second month in a row. and scientists try produce a new type of bread that looks and tastes like a white loaf — but is still good for you. on bbc london, we will have more on yesterday's attack in hainault, as police continue to investigate and a community comes to terms with what happened.

good afternoon. the police officers wounded in a sword attack in hainault yesterday suffered horrific injuries — according to the metropolitan police commissioner sir mark rowley. he says one of the officers came close to losing her hand and she's had several hours of surgery. a 1a —year—old boy was killed in the attack. one of the victims of the nottingham stabbings last year. graham satchell reports. devastation this morning at bancroft�*s school in east london and confirmation that one of their students, a 14—year—old boy, was killed in the sword attack yesterday. it's the second time in less than a year that bancroft�*s is in mourning for one of its own. former student grace o'malley kumar, who was killed in a knife attack in nottingham, was also a student here. the final moments of yesterday's terrible attack were captured on a doorbell camera.

the 36—year—old man still carrying a sword is cornered and met police officers move in. a taser is fired and then a female officer approaches and again uses a taser and the man falls to the ground. police were on the scene in 12 minutes and detained the suspect 22 minutes after that. the bravery of the emergency services was extraordinary. here an officer confronts the suspect just feet away. at this point, one person is already dead and a number of others injured. you've got officers running towards someone who's waving a sword. what they do is absolutely extraordinary and it's a privilege to to work with them and lead them. come here. drop the sword. two officers who tried to stop the man ended up with serious injuries. one nearly lost her hand. lock your doors!

i was talking to the family and colleagues of the officer, a woman officer who has a really badly damaged arm, really seriously damaged. and the surgeon spent sort of many, many hours sort of basically putting her arm back together. one eyewitness who didn't want to be filmed describe the moment of the attack. police were on their way because sirens, you could hear the sirens coming. and then he started shouting about god and whether you believe in god and things like that. i came at my house to go to help the boy as i know him and his family. as i came out, he literally was five feet away from me on the left. so when i saw him, i went straight back inside my house. i wasn't sure if he'd been detained or anything like that. the investigation into the events of yesterday morning will focus on the man now in hospital and under arrest. police have yet to interview him but have said this wasn't a targeted attack or terrorism—related. today, a school and a whole community is trying to understand why a 14—year—old boy lost his life in the most horrific way. graham satchell, bbc news.

a 17—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three people were injured at a secondary school in south yorkshire. a child was assaulted and two adults suffered minor injuries at the birley academy in sheffield this morning. our correspondent nick garnett is outside the school now. what more can you tell us? police were called after an incident at 8:50am. , _ ., police were called after an incident at 8:50am— police were called after an incident at 8:50am. , ,, ., ., ., at 8:50am. they say than involved a sharp object _ at 8:50am. they say than involved a sharp object. registration _ at 8:50am. they say than involved a sharp object. registration at - at 8:50am. they say than involved a sharp object. registration at this - sharp object. registration at this school_ sharp object. registration at this school starts at half past eight, the school for 11—16 —year—olds went into planned — the school for 11—16 —year—olds went into planned lockdown procedures. parents _ into planned lockdown procedures. parents were informed and children were allowed to go home and all of the children are now safe. a 17 year boy has— the children are now safe. a 17 year boy has been arrested, or an attempted murder, remains in police

from new york, nomia iqbal reports. as the darkness came, so did the violence. the tension between the pro—palestinian protesters encamped at ucla and the pro—israel demonstrators boiled over. screams ring out as fireworks are let off in the dense encampment. pieces of plywood turned into weapons. thankfully i am physically safe. a lot of my peers are not physically safe. it's not clear yet what sparked the fighting. the los angeles police were called to the scene at the request of the university. the vice chancellor has condemned the events as a horrific act of violence. on the other side of the country, at columbia university in new york, where the protests originally started, police entered the campus. it comes nearly two weeks

since they last went in, sparking huge controversy. and a day after some demonstrators seized a building inside campus, breaking the windows and barricading themselves in. for the university it was a red line. dozens have been arrested in this new police raid. dozens of riot police are behind us here. we are at columbia university, the actual entrance to the campus is just to my left. you cannot get anywhere near it. the police have blocked it off entirely. just earlier we saw some students being arrested. they had their hands behind her back, with white zip ties, being loaded onto buses and further to the right to have more student protesters, more pro—palestinian protesters on the other side of the barricade

shouting, "shame, shame, shame" at the police. university are set a deadline of monday to clear the captain. students who did not agree are now being suspended. protesters told us they were hopeful talks could still continue with the university. their demands included cutting off economic and academic ties with israeli institutions. but given this latest police action, hope for reconciliation seems even further away. well in a moment we'll be live with regan morris in los angeles, on the violence that's erupted there as we just saw — but first nomia, in new york. and nomia, these protests against the war in gaza have been spreading across college campuses for weeks now. they have. and i think it is worth mentioning that they haven'tjust come out of nowhere. just to let you know, it is pretty normal here in new york. a complete contrast to

last night when our team is here in the thick of it, new york police had carried out coordinated raids on several encampments and several universities here. but tensions have been bubbling up, ever since october the 7th, when there have been huge divisions among students on campus over how israel has responded to the hamas attacks, the rising death toll in gaza, american support for israel as well. president biden has been across all of this. he has said that free speech is allowed on campus, but he has criticised some of these protesters for being anti—semitic which has been denied by a lot of the pro—palestinian protesters, and they arejudging president the pro—palestinian protesters, and they are judging president biden the pro—palestinian protesters, and they arejudging president biden on his response, which is crucial in an election year when he will be relying on young people to get out and vote. and also, what it came down to for many of the universities, certainly here at columbia university, is that they

feel that is a distinction between protest and disruption. they have said that they want to get their campus back under control, especially considering we have got graduation dayjust round the corner, but how they have done it, how they have got the campus back under control, sending in armed police to arrest students, for many inside and outside the university, thatis inside and outside the university, that is deeply, deeply disturbing. over to regan morris in los angeles. bring us up to date on the violence we have seen at the university there. . , , , there. there were incredibly intense clashes here — there. there were incredibly intense clashes here overnight. _ there. there were incredibly intense clashes here overnight. i _ there. there were incredibly intense clashes here overnight. i have - clashes here overnight. i have spoken with students on both sides of that protest. both sides say that they were sprayed with pepper spray or mace or bear spray, they are not sure exactly what it was. we saw bottle rockets being fired by pro—israel students on protesters,

into the palestine solidarity camp, and some students told me that they came down with medical supplies when they heard the bottle rockets, and said that some people were hurt, mainly from pepper spray in their eyes. heavy police presence here now. university didn't comment, there is a lapd at our california highway control. it is relatively calm now, there are helicopters out, lots of police keeping both sides separate, but i have seen both sides fortifying the lines with protesters setting up barricades, as well as the police. setting up barricades, as well as the police-— setting up barricades, as well as the olice. . ~ ., , the police. thank you, regan morris re-rortin the police. thank you, regan morris reporting from _ the police. thank you, regan morris reporting from los _ the police. thank you, regan morris reporting from los angeles, - the police. thank you, regan morris reporting from los angeles, and - reporting from los angeles, and thank you to nomia iqbal, in new york. the first migrants to be deported to rwanda have been detained. the home office says a series of operations took place across the country this week, with more scheduled in the near future. the government wants the first

flights carrying migrants to rwanda to take off this summer. live now to westminster and our political correspondent, hannah miller. hannah, what more can you tell us? there are still lots of questions. we have no idea how many people have been detained. the home office has not given any details about their backgrounds. it will be at least nine weeks until the first flight to rwanda takes off and all of the individuals who have been detained still have the right to launch a legal challenge, if they believe that they should remain in the uk. so, why are we hearing about this now? the liberal democrats have suggested this announcement has been timed to coincide with the local elections, which are taking place tomorrow. rishi sunak, of course, has made stopping the boats are key campaign pledge and believe that sending people off to rwanda is a key part of that. there are questions also about the scale of the whole policy. official documents

showed that around 5700 people have been earmarked as the first group of people to be sent to rwanda, more than that, more than 7000 people, have a dry on small boats so far this year. —— have arrived on small boats. hannah miller, our political correspondent, thank you. the outgoing first minister of scotland has told the bbc that ending his power sharing deal with the scottish greens was the right thing to do, but that the way he did it meant he paid the price with hisjob. in his first interview since announcing his resignation, humza yousaf said �*it�*s on me.�* our scotland editorjames cook is in edinburgh. you've been talking to him, what did he have to say? i you've been talking to him, what did he have to say?— he have to say? i would say that the first minister _ he have to say? i would say that the first minister was _ he have to say? i would say that the first minister was reflective - he have to say? i would say that the first minister was reflective and - first minister was reflective and regretful in this, his first interview since announcing that he intends to resign as snp leader as ultimately as first minister of scotland. that had followed his

decision to chop the greens out of government, a decision that so angered the co—leaders of that party, patrick harvie and lorna slater and as he said, that was on him, that decision was accepting responsibility for it and it followed divisions between the snp and the greens and it should be said within the snp itself on economic and social policy including the issue of gender. well, for me, the bute house agreement was coming to an end anyway. it was coming to an end in a matter of days, possibly a matter of weeks. that process almost had started with the greens, for example, going to be putting that to its membership. it was votes of no confidence coming up. it was going to be a party over gender. patrick harvie, as you say, and therefore, in my mind, whichever way i looked at it, whether it was a matter of days or it was a matter of weeks,

the bute house agreement was going to come to an end. so that's why i see, as i have said from the beginning, the ending the bute house agreement to me was the right thing to do for the party in the country that i lead. but i accept fully the manner in which it was done clearly caused upset, and therefore i've paid the price of that. he also talked about his concern. he said that political debates were routinely descending into what he called a toxic cultural war, would he endorse any of the potential candidates to replace him, the former deputy leaderjohn swinney or former deputy leaderjohn swinney or former finance minister kate fords, but at the moment, neither of them have actually confirmed whether they are running. house prices fell for the second month in a row in april, according to the uk's biggest building society. nationwide said uk house prices were down by 0.4% compared with the previous month. it said the average home now cost nearly £262,000, around 4% below the all—time highs recorded in the summer of 2022. our cost of living correspondent

kevin peachey is with me. just talk us through some context behind this?— behind this? economists had redicted behind this? economists had predicted a _ behind this? economists had predicted a rise _ behind this? economists had predicted a rise in _ behind this? economists had predicted a rise in april - behind this? economists had predicted a rise in april and l predicted a rise in april and clearly these figures have defied expectations with a four albeit quite a small one. nationwide has based these figures on its own lending data and the picture will vary depending on where you are across the country. i think what it shows is this wider uncertainty for those thinking of buying a home as to what is going to be happening, if that demand is restricted in house prices will fall. and all this is down to mortgage rates, looking at those mortgage rates and lenders have been pushing them back up again in the past couple of weeks. probably unsure about what the bank of england is going to do. if we look at a fixed deal for two years that now is close to 6% interest

rate so moving back up. nationwide says that first—time buyers in particular are exposed to these borrowing costs and also they face higher house prices as you say, still close to those record highs. i spoke to quite a few potential first—time buyers and they have moved back in with their parents in their 30s with all the stress and strains that that brings as well and nationwide are saying around half of first—time buyers have been rethinking their plans over the next five years simply because it is difficult to afford to buy a first home. kevin peachey, thank you. 2a people have died in china after a highway collapsed in the province of guangdong. video footage shows a number of cars which had fallen into a large crater. 30 other people were taken to hospital. it follows weeks of heavy rain and flooding in the south of the country. our china correspondent laura bicker reports. it's collapsed.

it's a disaster, says this witness after watching part of the highway slide away into the darkness. a holejust opened up in front of us, said others on social media who filmed the aftermath in the early hours of the morning. in daylight from the air, almost a dozen blackened vehicles can be seen still smoldering, embedded in the muddy banks of what appears to be a landslide. the tarmac and metal rails, which once held up the highway, are now scattered across the slope. about 500 rescuers were sent to the site, taking dozens to hospital. this is a major may day holiday in china. this route to the coast will have been busy. a week of extreme weather has hit china's most populous province. this tornado swept through power lines and wiped out factories in the industrial

heartland of guangzhou. torrential rain and powerful storms have also struck guangdong. thousands of people were taken to safety in the wettest april since records began. laura bicker, bbc news, beijing. russia has put on display western military hardware its troops have captured in ukraine. it includes british army vehicles, as well as tanks from the united states and germany. our russia editor steve rosenberg has been to look at them. i'm in moscow's victory park, a world war two memorial complex. but this has got nothing at all to do with the second world war and everything to do with russia's war now in ukraine. this is western military hardware that russia has captured in ukraine. and today, the russian military is putting its war trophies on display and letting the russian public in to take a look.

so, for example, there is this, this british army husky tactical support vehicle. as you can see, its windscreen has been shot up, and across the way there are tanks as well. there's a german tank, a leopard tank and an american abrams. as you can see, the place is absolutely packed and all of this hardware clearly making an impression on the russian public. it's incredible, jaw—dropping. it's amazing to think our guys managed to get these trophies. so why has all of this been put on display? well, i think the authorities here have two main aims. the first is to reinforce the kremlin's narrative that in ukraine, nato and the west in general is waging a war against russia, even though in reality it was russia that launched a full—scale invasion of ukraine. but there is also a big element of gloating here. the russians are increasingly confident about the way the war is going in ukraine, and their main message is written on a sign over there. and it reads, "our victory is inevitable."

steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. now this week on the o'clock news we've been looking at the impact of knife crime and yesterday we heard from the family of mikey roynon, who was just 16 when he was stabbed to death at a party last summer. today, we hearfrom the neighbours and first responders who rushed to the scene when mikey was attacked. our west of england correspondent danjohnson reports, and a warning you may find some of the details distressing. this is the ambulance service. is the patient breathing? 11 pm on a summer's evening and a 16 year old is struggling for his life. he's been stabbed at a house party. a birthday party has been upturned by a knife attack. is the patient breathing? no, no. people living nearby are trying to save the boy. it was a scene of carnage, basically. when i got there, mikey was on the floor in the road.

we were trying to find the stab wound. we thought it might be on his leg. there was blood literally everywhere. you're confronted by people who are shocked, distressed. some people had blood on them. i was trying to say to mikey, you're not on your own. i'm trying to help. we're here. we're trying to help you. whether he'd already passed away, i don't, i honestly don't know. i remember saying, no, he's not dead. let's keep going. knowing in your heart of hearts that probably we're going to be unsuccessful. and... and that was really sad. you sort of, you don't expect it necessarily. and when it does happen, it'sjust shocking and grotesque. mikey roynon had been stabbed in the neck with a zombie knife after a confrontation erupted at the party. it was only when the other ambulance

teams arrived we were able to get more eyes to have a look, and we found the single extensive stab wound right up hidden in his hairline here behind his ear. and then itjust, it wasjust silent. everything went silent. and it was just, it was just eerie. you can't measure the level of impact it had for all of us, for our families, for our friends, for everybody. it's had a huge impact and it's changed all of our lives and it will do forever now. you feel the grief in every way, like the whole family are broken and there's nothing we can do to put their world right. it's just awful. we feel guilty all the time. you say guilty. you mean because... ? because i've still got my children. ..because she's lost her son and you've...? she's only got, she only had mikey, and he's gone. it's been nine months now. it's exhausting, because you're constantly on edge. you're constantly, you hear a helicopter and it's just, it triggers you. it was just dreadful.

just looking at his face and... yeah, and that is, unfortunately, his face at that point is now what i remember. mikey�*s death here underlines the devastation, not just for his family, but also for people here in this community and beyond as well. and then there are the three young men who did this. i'm not allowed to tell you their names. we don't know a huge amount about them. they may not deserve our sympathy, but they've upturned their own lives and those of their families, too, and their fates are to be decided by a judge when they are sentenced on friday. danjohnson, bbc news, in bath. while israel has been fighting its war against hamas in gaza, its northern border with lebanon has seen daily exchanges with hezbollah. like hamas, hezbollah is backed by iran and proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the uk government. hezbollah launched rocket and drones against israel after the hamas attacks

last october. well the israeli military have hit back hard, hitting thousands of targets in southern lebanon. our correspondent carine torbey has been on patrol there with the un's peacekeeping force. travelling to south of lebanon is a riskyjourney. accompanied by the lebanese army, we moved closer to the damaged towns dotted along this border area. israel lies on the other side of that concrete and metal barrier. empty villages, abandoned homes. peaceful life here has been erased. it feels like a no man's land. this mangled mound of cement and metal was a family home. it was hit by an israeli strike just a few days before our visit. little left of the home it had been. the family who lived

here left months ago. tens of thousands of people have fled in fear. israeli military strikes that were limited in scope have expanded, leaving towns across the south deserted and destroyed. this was a coffee shop. and next to it here was a two story building standing. now its reduced to this one massive hole in the ground. as we were leaving the area, it was hit by an israeli airstrike. israel says it hit a0 hezbollah targets on this day, mainly in the border town of aita shaab, just a few miles from our patrol. hussein is from the town, but he's now staying with his family in an apartment on the outskirts of beirut. they left with what they could carry on the very first day of the border hostilities.

we showed him footage of the town filmed by us back in october. he said many of the buildings are now totally destroyed. i told him that israel claims it is targeting hezbollah's fighters. translation: they are i targeting civilians' houses. it's systematic destruction. it's not true they are just responding to attacks. back on the road, despite the intense violence, the un peacekeeping forces still think they have a role to play. many people are tired of the situation and i can imagine people are tired also in the other side of the conflict. so i think it's time for peace. the next challenge for unifil will be to help and support the local population in returning back to their homes. since the beginning of the war in gaza, this front has been more of a sideshow.

fears are that at any moment it could take the centre stage. carine torbey, bbc news, southern lebanon. now, do you like white bread but worry that it's not good for you? well scientists at aberystwyth university are trying to produce what looks and tastes like a white loaf — but is actuallyjust as nutritious as wholemeal bread. here's our science correspondent, pallab ghosh. it's bread, only better. these are the first batch of nutrition—boosted loaves. the aim is to make them look and taste like the sliced white bread that most people prefer. i've really found about this project is that white bread is not good for you. i was always aware of that, but it's really reinforced it and it makes you realise just how much of the goodness is on the outside of that grain of wheat.

we want to know what are the actual minerals present and what are the vitamins and amino acids and so on that are being lost so that we can formulate a white flour that is enhanced compared to an existing white flour. the scientists are working with a flour—making firm in gloucestershire. they're making loaves with added cereal, pulses and fibre for the scientists to analyse. both these loaves are nutritionally enhanced. this one has bits of wheat, such as wheat germ and bran that are found in wholemeal loaves, but in smaller quantities. this one has all sorts of different grains, such as chickpeas, green peas, and quinoa, all mixed in together. both of them are much better for you. but how do they taste? chris hollister, whose idea it all is, offers me a slice or two. that's gorgeous. and it tastes like white bread as well.

that's the idea. yeah. we want to make sure that people are still receptive to it and it's not too different to what they're used to. around a fifth of the wheat grain is thrown away when making flour for white bread. and those are the bits that are better for you. chris thinks that there's a way of putting some of that back without making the bread taste like wholemeal, which a lot of people don't like. currently, white bread flour has to have essential minerals such as iron and calcium added to it by law. but the scientists say that mixing in natural cereals, peas and beans will be much better for you, and they'll collect the data to prove it. if the nutritional quality of that standard bread, that bog standard bread, is improved, their nutrition and their quality of life and their health and wellbeing will improve. nutrition boosted white bread should be available in the shops in a couple of years. the researchers say it'll be

the best thing since sliced bread! palab ghosh, bbc news.
