custody. it is hoping he will be questioned today. the attack was not believed to be targeted or related to terrorism. believed to be targeted or related to terrorism-— to terrorism. officers ran towards dancer. you've got officers running towards someone who's waving a sword. i went to the hospital yesterday to see the officers and their families. i saw the inspector whose hand is badly damaged. i saw him before the operation, he was in good spirits. i think that was partly the morphine, to be honest! but he's got a lot of patching up to be done on his hand, really serious injuries there. and i was talking to the family and colleagues of the officer, the woman officer, whose really badly damaged arm, really seriously damaged. the surgeon spent many, many hours sort of basically putting her arm back together. it will be a long journey of recovery. one newspaper said of the female officer, it was actually close - to her losing her hand, - are you able to confirm that?

that's not a million miles away. really horrifically serious injuries. that is an update on those two officers. the 14—year—old boy daniel anjorin is a pupil at bancroft school in east london. it has been attempted terrible tragedy for the area. what is a school had to say? we tragedy for the area. what is a school had to say?— tragedy for the area. what is a school had to say? we are yet to hear an official _ school had to say? we are yet to hear an official statement - school had to say? we are yet to hear an official statement from | school had to say? we are yet to i hear an official statement from the school. but, in the last hour, the pupil's name has been confusion firms. it has been confirmed locally as daniel anjorin. firms. it has been confirmed locally as danielanjorin. he firms. it has been confirmed locally as daniel anjorin. he was in year nine at the school. he was on his way here yesterday morning just

before seven o'clock when he was attacked in nearby hainault. the location of the stabbing is around half an hour by public transport from the school, bancroft school. this is a gleefully, suburban area. it is a private, fee—paying school full stop it as a second time in less than a year that the school community here is having to come to terms with the impact of knife crime. grace o'malley—kumar was a former pupil here. she was one of three people killed in nottingham in the stabbing stay last year. this will clearly be a really difficult time for the school. the school staff are seeking to support the family of the victim, but also the other pupils who will clearly be very upset by this news at a very difficult time for them. separately this afternoon, we have had a

statement from a catholic school in the area, where the 13—year—old boy's mother works will stop they reported the death of of a child of one of their staff members. we are expecting the metropolitan police to make a further statement this afternoon. we may hear something formally from bancroft school. we have a mayor, karen bass has described the protest as apparent and inexcusable. they are working to

clear the area. we are getting reports of pepper sprays and other weapons. protesters were trying to pull down a pro—palestinian camp. our reporter regan morris is at ucla campus. the pro—palestinians are blocking access to the camp. they are trying to fortify the camp. it does feel

like something is imminent. the police around here are in riot gear. i can hear a little scuffle behind me, nothing too dramatic. overnight, there are people spraying. the university did up issue a statement yesterday, before the scuffles broke out, saying that they were increasing security around campus and trying to keep everyone safe. it is a public university, they have the right to protest. but they do not have the right to abstract students getting an education. they are not allowed to obstruct access to libraries. we will see what will happen here. it is definitely tense, although relatively quiet with a handful of students outside the gates, many inside although i don't know how many.

bottles were breaking on their bodies. i got here are 12 20 in the morning and the police arrived at 145. they did not step in and they did not intervene. they watched for another hour, for two hours that brawl went on. eventually the police did start moving in. they started to push people out of the way. mas did start moving in. they started to push people out of the way.- push people out of the way. was it clear who was _ push people out of the way. was it clear who was involved? _ push people out of the way. was it clear who was involved? were - push people out of the way. was it. clear who was involved? were there any outside agitators? the incumbent has been here — any outside agitators? the incumbent has been here since _ any outside agitators? the incumbent has been here since thursday. - any outside agitators? the incumbent has been here since thursday. the . has been here since thursday. the counter protesters were against the palestinian encampment. they are pro—israeli. there is a mix of

ideologies. they were definitely against the palestinians. they were all expressing themselves physically. they were pulling down the barricades and hitting people. there was pepper spray on both sides. they were using them for defence and attack. the pro—palestinians were not attacking people. the events on campus in los angeles are one of a number of gaza war—related demonstrations across the us. on tuesday, police in florida used tear gas to disperse pro—palestinian protesters at the university of south florida. hillsborough county sheriff's office said "tactical skills to evacuate agitators" were used after crowds ignored dispersal commands

at an "unsanctioned protest". this video was shot on tuesday in new york — it shows police and demonstrators clashing at the city college. until now, the site had not seen much in the way of protests. and overnight, the nypd also launched an operation to clear protesters from inside buildings at columbia university — the location of the first major pro—palestinian demonstrations on a us college campus. that show you what is happening in new york right now. efforts are being made to set up a press conference. we expect to hear from them shortly. we will take you to new york when that happens. firstly this report. figs new york when that happens. firstly this reort. a ., ~ ,, new york when that happens. firstly this reort. m ., ~' ,,

inside the campus, smashing windows and barricading themselves inside. for the university, it was a red line. dozens have been arrested in this police raid.— line. dozens have been arrested in this police raid. dozens and dozens of riot police _ this police raid. dozens and dozens of riot police are _ this police raid. dozens and dozens of riot police are behind _ this police raid. dozens and dozens of riot police are behind this - this police raid. dozens and dozens of riot police are behind this line. l of riot police are behind this line. this is the actual entrance to the camp went to my left. it is about a two minute walk. police have blocked it out entirely. just earlier we saw some students being arrested with their hands behind their backs being loaded onto nypd buses. further to the right, there are more student protesters and probe palestinian protesters and probe palestinian protesters on the other side of these barricades shouting, shame, shame, shame! students who didn't move on monday are now being

suspended. protesters told us they were hopeful the talks could still continue with the university, their demands included cutting of academic ties with israeli institutions. given this latest police action, reconciliation seems further away. we will keep across that press conference about to happen in new york. looking to the middle east now and the us secretary of state, antony blinken, says he's determined to secure a ceasefire deal in gaza and the only obstacle now is hamas. the group, considered a terror organisation by the uk and us, has until wednesday evening to respond to the proposal. a hamas official says mr blinken�*s comments are an attempt to apply pressure on the group. mr blinken has been meeting the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, in jerusalem. a us official said blinken reiterated us opposition to an israeli assault on the gaza city of rafah during the talks. while in tel aviv, mr blinken also met some of the families of the hostages

being held by hamas in gaza. before leaving, he took some time to speak to the people demonstrating outside of his meeting in support of those hostages... ijust had an opportunity to meet with some of the families of some of the hostages, as i have on every visit to israel, and of course president biden has done, many of my colleagues have done, and ijust want to share with you what i shared with them. bringing your loved ones home is at the heart of everything we are trying to do. while the talking about a ceasefire is taking place — the war inside gaza continues. (boxed palestinian officials say two children were killed in rafah, in an israeli air strike overnight. israel has said it plans a full assault on rafah — the city in gaza that nestles against the border with egypt, and where tens of thousands of people have taken refuge — but so far, that assault does not appear to have begun.

the government has launched rockets and drone attacks, not the government, his brother macro. israeli armed forces have retaliated. our correspondence brings us this report. 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 40 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. let's go back to new york where we are expecting the mayor of new york, eric adams to make a statement. he will bejoined by eric adams to make a statement. he will be joined by the eric adams to make a statement. he will bejoined by the nypd commissioner, edward cabannes. it is peaceful around columbia university at the moment after last night. we are waiting for the press conference to find out more details of what happened. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

63 people have been arrested in georgia — at a late night protest against plans to introduce legislation which the government says will counter "foreign influence." six police officers were injured, with journalists reporting that riot police used tear gas, rubber bullets, and water cannon against a people taking part in a peaceful rally in the capital tbilisi. journalists and a leading opposition politician were also attacked. the demonstrators in georgia say the new law copies one which is being used in russia to clamp down on freedom of the press and civil liberties. the eu's foreign affairs chief, josep borrell, has condemned violence by security forces. in a post on x, he said... "i strongly condemn the violence against protesters in georgia who were peacefully demonstrating against the law on foreign influence. georgia is an eu candidate country, i call on its authorities to ensure the right to peaceful assembly. use of force to suppress

it is unacceptable" earlier we heard from our correspondent in the georgian capital tbilisi, rayhan demytrie. she spoke about the determination of people to continue protesting. we saw people being sprayed with water cannons or tear gas. people came back — water cannons or tear gas. people came back with _ water cannons or tear gas. people came back with even _ water cannons or tear gas. people came back with even more - water cannons or tear gas. people came back with even more vigour| water cannons or tear gas. people . came back with even more vigour and more determination. they are not going to back off. the vast majority of these protesters are students, school children young adults and they believe they are fighting. this struggle is for georgia's european future. that speech by the political

leadership a couple of days ago, they stood outside parliament and addressed their own rally which they organised. those speeches were came in a way as a shock to the vast majority of the population because it was full of anti—western messaging camp. they were accusing the west of fomenting unrest in georgia through non—governmental organisations and right now in parliament, mps are debating this bill. that is the same messaging they have there.— bill. that is the same messaging they have there. three people were in'ured as they have there. three people were injured as a — they have there. three people were injured as a secondary _ they have there. three people were injured as a secondary school- they have there. three people were injured as a secondary school in - injured as a secondary school in south yorkshire.

officials in ukraine say three people have been killed in a russian missile attack on the port city of odesa. the mayor, who released this video on social media, said three other people had been injured, and civilian infrastructure was damaged. five people were killed by air strikes in odesa on monday. and in the eastern city of kharkiv — officials say two people died when their car was hit by a russian bomb. 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 just 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. the 65—year—old was considered to be the mastermind between the team's dominance of the sport will leave early in 2025. lewis hamilton is in pole position to sign. we will talk to our formula 1 commentator a little later this hour. most of the misty, low cloud has been lifting this morning, leaving more sunshine for most of the country. it will feel quite warm in the sunshine, temperatures in east anglia up to 20 degrees.

warm in the northwest of england and western scotland. some cloud heading our way producing the odd shower. rain in the wales and the southwest tends to fade away but a lot of cloud is coming from the near continent, over the channel, bringing rain across these areas in the afternoon. wetter across southern england, wales, the midlands, some rain and heading towards northern ireland. thundery downpours in the night in the south. but that cloud will not clear away from some areas and push insland overnight, keeping temperatures around 9 degrees. lively weather by the early hours across southern england and into wales, a lot of thunder and lightning, large hail, very heavy rain and gusty winds bringing destruction for a while. the worst of that moves away in the morning. a lot of cloud in south wales and the southwest of england. as that rain clears, sharp showers moving across to the midlands. elsewhere, sunshine develops more widely, the misty, low cloud retreating but with the strong wind off the north sea,

the east coasts could stay grey and cold all day. not particularly warm in the cloud across parts of southern england and south wales. high temperatures in northwest england, northern ireland and western scotland — could be 20 degrees here. some warmer air heading from the continent. moving over the cold north sea so a lot of mist and low cloud, but the warmer air moving northwards on friday and that will bring more showers and spells of rain further north across england and wales. a lot of cloud for northern ireland. more sunshine for scotland and southern counties of england but still temperatures only 14. in the rain, temperatures lower on friday. could make 20 again in western scotland for one more day. even the weather here will change in saturday, more cloud heading northwards bringing rain to northern ireland and also scotland. keeping cloudy for northern england for sunshine in the south. not a bad start to the weekend
