live from london. this is bbc news. rishi sunak vows to bring back mandatory national service for 18—year—olds if the conservatives win the general election. meanwhile, labour's been answering questions on its plan for the economy, and it promises not to increase income tax if it wins on polling day. sirens heard across tel aviv — as hamas say it launched a large missile attack on the city — the first in months. and i'm covering the rr hunger in how tearing and it is just days ahead of south africa's elections and it is all to play for with the ruling anc expected to lose its

majority in parliament. —— i'm catherine byaruhanga in gauteng. hello. i'm lewis vaughan jones. i'm lewis vaughanjones. welcome to the programme. we will start with the programme. we will start with the latest on the general election campaign. the home secretary james cleverly says the conservatives plan to bring back a form of compulsory national service if it wins the general election is about pushing young people out of their "comfort zone". the party says it would cost £2.5 billion a year and would see 18—year—olds join the military for a year or serve the community for a weekend a month for the same period. our political correspondent helen catt has more. the return of national service is certainly an eye—catching policy but it wouldn't be national service quite like these men experienced between 1949 and 1963. instead all 18—year—olds would have to choose between a year of military

service or volunteer work in public services. it's about addressing the fragmentation we have seen in society. too many young people living in their own bubble, whether a digital bubble or a social bubble, and we want to get back to the situation where people are mixing with young people from different areas, different economic groups, different religions. under the plans, 30,018 year olds would do one—year placements under the plans, 30,00018—year—olds would do one—year placements in the armed forces and would have to apply for selection. everyone else would have to volunteer for the equivalent of one weekend a month in places like the nhs, charities or police. the conservatives say they would start piloting the scheme from september 2025. other countries like norway already run selective military schemes. the detail of the proposed tory version will not come before the election. instead a special commission called the royal commission would work them out after — including any sanction

for refusing which the tories say would not be criminal. labour says it is desperate. this isjust a desperate gimmick from the conservative party, with no viable means of funding it. the liberal democrats said the conservatives had cut troop numbers. the snp said the armed forces needed proper investment. they're trying to put a sticking plaster on the future of young people and also a sticking plaster for the armed forces and it is not going to work. the conservatives believe their national service programme would put a modern spin on an old idea, for theirfirst policy announced in this campaign. we asked young people at bbc�*s big weekend fesitval to see what they thnk about the national service proposal.

i don't think it's a bad idea. obviously it depends, you know, if they're up to it, i think it should be your decision to do it or not. but there'll be more people that will be more inclined to do it and others don't. but obviously, if the government needs help, why not? i mean, it's about what you all learn from it, i think, in my opinion. anything that you do that is new, you get a learning experience out of it and it help you down the line. people will probably go for it. but again, i think it would kind of have a big backlash because you're being forced to do something that people to be positive. we live in a free country. i mean, ithink it'd be pretty good because the army isn't doing - itoo well with recruit training, i and the whole thing with russia llywydd but it does infringe on the whole _ llywydd but it does infringe on the whole thing — llywydd but it does infringe on the whole thing with _ llywydd but it does infringe on the whole thing with human _ llywydd but it does infringe on the whole thing with human rights - llywydd but it does infringe on the whole thing with human rights and llywydd but it does infringe on the. whole thing with human rights and i 'ust whole thing with human rights and i just think_ whole thing with human rights and i just think it — whole thing with human rights and i just think it would _ whole thing with human rights and i just think it would be _ whole thing with human rights and i just think it would be a _ whole thing with human rights and i just think it would be a large - just think it would be a large change — just think it would be a large change for— just think it would be a large change for a _ just think it would be a large change for a lot _

just think it would be a large change for a lot of— just think it would be a large change for a lot of people. l meanwhile, the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, has ruled out any increases in income tax or national insurance if labour wins the general election. she said all measures in the party's manifesto were fully costed — but didn't rule out spending cuts. let's listen to what she had to say. we're not going to be bringing back austerity, but we have got that immediate injection of cash into our front—line public services. that's a down payment on the changes that we want to make. but in the end, we have to grow the economy, we have to turn around this dire economic performance. and we will move on, but... with more on this, let's speak to our political correspondent rajdeep sandhu — who's in the newsroom. let's start with labour, that commitment there not to raise income tax. how significant do you think that is? , ~ , that is? yes, i think it is quite significant _ that is? yes, i think it is quite significant that _ that is? yes, i think it is quite significant that we _ that is? yes, i think it is quite significant that we have - that is? yes, i think it is quite significant that we have heard j that is? yes, i think it is quite - significant that we have heard that from rachel reeves today and she was pushed a number of times of what labour's spending plans would be and she has not made that commitment and labour will have to stick to that and i was quite struck in the interview byjust how carefully she was wording everything she has said today and i think that shows just how careful labour are going to be

around commitments and promises they make on the economy and that is because they want to be seen as trusted with people's money, with the uk's money, with the purse strings and you kind of shake of any reservations voters might have with labour given the kind of conservative narrative they have put out that you can't trust labour with the money. so, we heard there in that interview with shadow chancellor ridicule reeves that she would not raise income tax or national insurance —— rachel reeves. but she was also post there are quite a few times on the spending plans labour would have and would she cut spending in areas? because both the conservatives and labour party have set themselves quite strict rules on how they can spend money in order to get the national debt down, and on that point she was less forthcoming on what they might too and she talked about the pledges labour have already put out there in

terms of additional teachers, additional police officers and how they are funded, and she also said this would not be a return to austerity but she did not outright rule out any future spending cuts and i think that shows you the difficult nature, which add a person is the next chancellor, they face when they come into office. we have heard some reaction, as you heard there in head and capped's piece, but to elaborate on that we heard from the snp and they said labour are trying to fool voters into voting for them around this issue on spending cuts and were saying there was a kind of conspiracy of silence between the conservatives and the labour party, trying to say they are both acting in the same way in terms of spending because they both can't guarantee there won't be spending cuts in the future. —— helen catt�*s piece. cuts in the future. -- helen catt's iece. . ~' ,. cuts in the future. -- helen catt's iece. . ,, ., ., hamas says it's launched a large missile attack on the city of tel aviv. rocket sirens have sounded there as well as across other cities

in central israel. it's believed that the rockets were fired from the rafah area of southern gaza. northern israel has also come under attack from rockets fired from lebanon. 0ur correspondent in jerusalem, dan johnson, gave us this update. interceptions have been heard over the city by colleagues who are in tel aviv at the moment — at least six, possibly eight rockets that have been intercepted by israeli air defense systems, which are very secure, very effective. but it does look like some of these rockets that we believe have been fired from the south of gaza, from rafah, have got through. there are some videos emerging showing where rockets have landed on open ground. no word yet on whether any serious damage has been caused, whether there are any casualties. but this certainly does mark another moment in this conflict. it's the first time since, we think, january that tel aviv has actually come under rocket attack. these would be long—range rockets fired from the very south of gaza.

and the al-qassam brigade, the armed wing of hamas, says it is doing that in response to israel's massacre of its civilians. we know that the military operations around rafah have continued intensifying over the weekend with more air strikes and more ground military activity as well. this is despite israel having been told on friday by the international court ofjustice that its offensive there should end. now, whether this isjust hamas reacting to that offensive on the ground in rafah or whether this is some sort of last stand as israel's military actually moves further and further into rafah and reduces the operating space that hamas has left there, that's a question that will have to contemplate in the hours that follow when we assess how serious this attack was and how much damage it has caused. but certainly it's the first time that air raid sirens have sounded in tel aviv for some time. it's the first time that area has come under hamas attack for many months. and it does show that hamas still has weaponry, heavy artillery, and is prepared to use it to target

israeli civilians. there had been renewed hopes that peace talks could recommence on tuesday. this had been something that had been talked about by the americans and israelis. it would be the talks that have been mediated by the egyptians and the qataris. and there were hopes that a new deal may be put to hamas as early as this week for the possibility of returning more hostages, bringing about some sort of peaceful conclusion to this military operation. now, whether hamas has preempted that and is determined to show that it can still launch rockets and cause damage and destruction in israel, that could be one possible explanation for this attack. hamas itself is saying that this is in response tojust a massacre of its civilians. it's not clear whether that means the conflict more generally or specifically operations around rafah over this weekend. we know over the last two weeks, since israel's military first went into rafah, more than a million palestinians have been uprooted and displaced.

thank you to dan for that. political parties across south africa have been holding their final rallies before wednesday's elections. it's 30 years since the african national congress won the country's first democratic elections following the release of nelson mandela and the end of apartheid. now polls suggest that for the first time, the party may fail to get an overall majority. let's cross to my colleague catherine byaruhanga — who is at a rally for the main opposition party the democratic alliance, just outside johannesburg. hello, lewis, as you say, the final big campaigns are now done in south africa ahead of elections on wednesday and there is all to play for because the anc look set to lose its majority in parliament but the question is whether the opposition parties have done enough to seize this moment and we are joined parties have done enough to seize this moment and we arejoined by parties have done enough to seize this moment and we are joined by the leader of the democratic youth alliance which has just concluded its campaign here, nicholas nyati, and when you look at the polls, the

opposition parties don't seem to be gaining ground so why aren't you gaining ground so why aren't you gaining those voters who are disaffected with the anc? i gaining those voters who are disaffected with the anc? i believe eo - le will disaffected with the anc? i believe peeple will be _ disaffected with the anc? i believe people will be shocked _ disaffected with the anc? i believe people will be shocked with - disaffected with the anc? i believe people will be shocked with the - people will be shocked with the election— people will be shocked with the election results around the world and on _ election results around the world and on the — election results around the world and on the ground you can see the anc faiiing — and on the ground you can see the anc falling below 50% because people are disaffected but i strongly believe — are disaffected but i strongly believe that our two today's events and the _ believe that our two today's events and the events leading up to this we are stronger than in recent years and we _ are stronger than in recent years and we are — are stronger than in recent years and we are much more focused. if the anc loses its — and we are much more focused. if the anc loses its majority, _ and we are much more focused. if the: anc loses its majority, would it be open to a coalition with the anc? you fought against the party for two decades now. you fought against the party for two decades now-— decades now. when the anc loses their majority _ decades now. when the anc loses their majority we _ decades now. when the anc loses their majority we will— decades now. when the anc loses their majority we will look - decades now. when the anc loses their majority we will look at - decades now. when the anc loses their majority we will look at who l their majority we will look at who we can— their majority we will look at who we can form a coalition with but we won't _ we can form a coalition with but we won't go _ we can form a coalition with but we won't go into a coalitionjust we can form a coalition with but we won't go into a coalition just for the sake — won't go into a coalition just for the sake of— won't go into a coalition just for the sake of the governing, we will look for— the sake of the governing, we will look for parties that share the same principles— look for parties that share the same principles and have the same mission to rescue _ principles and have the same mission to rescue south africa and we can't be part— to rescue south africa and we can't be part of— to rescue south africa and we can't be part of a — to rescue south africa and we can't be part of a coalition that has

financially for both teams as well as for the ambitions of the fans as well to be back in the top—flight. how will they be peeling ahead of this big game later on? yes. how will they be peeling ahead of this big game later on? yes, such hiuh this big game later on? yes, such high stakes _ this big game later on? yes, such high stakes as _ this big game later on? yes, such high stakes as you _ this big game later on? yes, such high stakes as you mention, - this big game later on? yes, such | high stakes as you mention, cabin, and the last of the supporters making their way into wembley stadium with the kick off less than an hour away and it's a busy time of year here at the national stadium and we had the fa cup final here yesterday and the champions league final next weekend and wedged in between is this match with the prize is the premier league and both leeds and southampton came down from the top flight last season and both of them made this a fixture of such high quality and in the regular campaign leads 190 points and southampton 87 but for both it wasn't enough for automatic promotion and last year we saw luton town against coventry and back then it felt like a bonus for both of those teams to be in this match. —— leads had 90 points. not today, because with that huge revenue that

comes with winning promotion, for leeds and southampton winning today deals are essential. is leeds and southampton winning today deals are essential.— deals are essential. is there much to separate _ deals are essential. is there much to separate the _ deals are essential. is there much to separate the two _ deals are essential. is there much to separate the two teams? - deals are essential. is there much to separate the two teams? what| deals are essential. is there much i to separate the two teams? what is the news from both sides? for leeds there is no patrick _ the news from both sides? for leeds there is no patrick bamford - the news from both sides? for leeds there is no patrick bamford today - there is no patrick bamford today and he misses out through injury and they will instead look for goals through the championship player of the year this season, crysencio summerville, and joe will appear row, the striker who leads the line for them and the question for southampton would be whether the scotland international che adams will be with them but he is on the bench and instead they will look to david brooks, the former bournemouth midfielder you might remember spent 18 months away from the game recovering from cancer. as i say, there are already premier league quality players throughout these two teams and the team that misses out todayis teams and the team that misses out today is really at risk of some of those top—flight clubs that are in the premier league coming to poach

them so for leeds and southampton, this is a match that could really shape their future and kick off is now less than an hour away. i shape their future and kick off is now less than an hour away. i look forward to — now less than an hour away. i look forward to it- _ now less than an hour away. i look forward to it. joe _ now less than an hour away. i look forward to it. joe lynskey - now less than an hour away. i look forward to it. joe lynskey at - forward to it. joe lynskey at wembley there for us. thank you for that, joe. the french open is underway at roland garros. four—time grand slam winner naomi 0saka is through to the next round after beating lucia bronzetti in three sets. men's number three seed carlos alcaraz is chasing a first french open title, and he's currently taking on qualifier, americanjj wolf, in the first round. carlos alcatraz is a set up in that and won six games to one. follow that on the bbc sport website and app. england's women are awaiting the green light to get back going again at taunton. the rain has delayed matters against pakistan in the second of their one—day matches. pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first. they got past six overs before the weather turned. a pitch inspection took place not long ago. for a 20—over game, the teams will need to be back out by 4.30 at the latest.

it doesn't look too promising there, though, does it? world championship medallists jack laugher and anthony harding have continued their build—up to the paris 2024 olympic games with victory in the synchronised 3m springboard final at the aquatics gb championships in birmingham. laugher won olympic gold with previous partner chris mears at rio 2016 before claiming individual bronze at the tokyo games three years ago. he and harding have claimed world silver and bronze medals over the last 12 months and achieved a strong score of 421.11 points for their six routines. laugher also won the individual 3m event on friday. and if you want to stay across the monaco grand prix, head over to the bbc sport website, where the race has been stopped due a crash, so the red flags out. sergio perez of red bull and both haas drivers are out. see more of that at bbc.com/sport, but that's all the sport for now.

will be back with more later on and we will see you then. millions of people across south asia are facing a severe heatwave this week, with unusually hot weather threatening public health and closing schools and workplaces. pakistan is sizzling in a fierce heatwave. parts of the country are experiencing temperatures of 50 degrees celsius — even though it's not yet the height of summer. schools in punjab have closed a week early. people around the country are being advised to limit their outdoor activities. let's speak to journalist ahmed rashid in lahore. thank you very much for coming on the programme. just give us an idea of what is happening there. well. of what is happening there. well, the heat is _ of what is happening there. well, the heat is just _ of what is happening there. well, the heat isjust so _ of what is happening there. well, the heat isjust so oppressive - of what is happening there. -ii the heat isjust so oppressive it is the heat is just so oppressive it is like a cement wall has surrounded you and there is no escape and no breath of fresh air, no wind, it is an incredibly debilitating experience and we are certainly known for having hot summers but

nothing like this and when you talk to old—timers, they will tell you they have never experienced a heat like this, and of course the only thing that you see on the streets are people pouring water over their heads trying to whet their hair and try to use that to cool down. the other source of trying to cool down our fans and air conditioners, other source of trying to cool down ourfans and air conditioners, but the air—conditioners at least for those that can afford them, are not working at full capacity, and fans are just blowing hot air down from the roof into the room.— the roof into the room. sorry to 'um in the roof into the room. sorry to jump in there. _ the roof into the room. sorry to jump in there. i— the roof into the room. sorry to jump in there, ijust _ the roof into the room. sorry to jump in there, i just wanted - the roof into the room. sorry to jump in there, i just wanted to | the roof into the room. sorry to i jump in there, ijust wanted to ask about people who have to work outside. what is there option? weill. outside. what is there option? well, a lot of workers _ outside. what is there option? well, a lot of workers come _ outside. what is there option? well, a lot of workers come to _ outside. what is there option? well, a lot of workers come to a _ a lot of workers come to a standstill. —— work has come. the most affected are day labourers,

a scene of total devastation. in an area so remote and little land here still and stable, rescuers are struggling to do theirjob. more than two days after the landslide, villagers are into giving up in their hunt for survivors but the situation on the ground is difficult. the landslide struck in the early hours of friday morning. more than 100 houses were buried at a time when most of the villagers would have been asleep butjust a few bodies have been recovered so far. the debris from the landslide is up to eight metres deep in some places but getting machinery to this remote area is difficult. people are using whatever tools they can get their hands on, be it shovels or sticks, to help get victims out. to make matters worse, nearby tribal violence which is totally unrelated to the landslide is also complicating the delivery of relief materials. in the search for survivors,

some good news. there has been some glimmer of hope in the last 24 hours. a husband and wife that were buried were rescued and thankfully their three children were not at the scene when the landslip happened. understanding the true scale of this disaster and finding those buried under the rebel will take some time. —— buried under the rubble. police in dorset have appealed for witnesses to get in contact with them with any further information after a 17 year—old boy from lancashire is being held on suspicion of murder after a woman was stabbed to death on a beach in bournemouth. the 34—year—old woman died at the scene and another woman has been taken to hospital with serious injuries. it happened shortly before midnight on friday. police have closed the beach while they investigate and are appealing for witnesses. if you are in the area and have concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to an officer and i would also

like to use this opportunity to renew my appealfor like to use this opportunity to renew my appeal for anyone with information that has not yet spoken to officers to contact us. notwithstanding that we have arrested someone and inquiries are ongoing in that regard, we remain particularly keen to hear from anyone who was in the vicinity of the beach between 10pm on friday the 24th of may 2024 and midnight that same day he saw anything unusual. taste same day he saw anything unusual. we will now return to the general election campaign here in the uk. at the top of the show we heard from the top of the show we heard from the labour party and the conservatives and we will now get a flavour of what that lib dems are up to today. let's speak to francis reed, our correspondent who is in cambridgeshire where the lib dem leader ed davey is campaigning. key is expected to arrive soon. what is happening? taste key is expected to arrive soon. what is happening?— is happening? we are 'ust waiting for ed davey * is happening? we are 'ust waiting for ed davey at h is happening? we are 'ust waiting for ed davey at the _

is happening? we are just waiting for ed davey at the moment - is happening? we are just waiting for ed davey at the moment and i is happening? we are just waiting l for ed davey at the moment and we are told he is expected to arrive on quite a big battle bus, as they call it, as the lib dems launch their general election campaign this weekend and there will be a big push from the lib dems this weekend in the kind of blue wall seats, these traditional conservative seats the lib dems are going after, so here in south cambridgeshire put right across the south—west and southeast really, places like wimbledon, places like surrey heath as well, michael gove's seat, they were going to go for and really target that one even before he said he was standing down but they will certainly be going for it now i will certainly target other cabinet ministers�* seats, people likejeremy hunt�*s and thatis seats, people likejeremy hunt�*s and that is what the lib dems are really setting their sights on, places in the south—east and south—west and here in cambridgeshire, it is a key seat, one of the top five but lib dems want to go for and they will

have challenges here in labour and the conservatives but they have targeted this as a key seat they want to go for and there were some boundary changes here since the last general election so they are hoping that might go in their favour. the lib dems had some success in the local elections here as well so they are really hoping that this will be one of the key seats that they can gain it but of course this is just the start and that is six weeks to go yet so a long way to go yet. great stuff, francis reed, and we will await that arrival if and when it happens. thank you very much for that. donald trump has been heckled by audience members at the libertarian party�*s national convention as he tried to win the fringe group�*s support for his presidential campaign. as you can hear, many in the crowd repeatedly booed and jeered while mr trump was addressing the gathering in washington, while only a small section cheered in support. the largely hostile response to his speech marked a change from the adulation the former president usually receives

at rallies from his supporters. that is it. i am lewis vaughan jones. this is bbc news. hello there. compared with yesterday, for most of us, the weather has taken a turn for the worse today. there will still be some sunshine around at times through the rest of the day, but we are seeing more showers breaking out as well, some of them heavy and thundery. and those showers will continue well into the afternoon. some slow moving thundery downpours, particularly across southern scotland and a good part of england. temperatures as a result of more showers around will be lower than yesterday. noticeably so in scotland, but we still could make 21 in the south east of england if we miss most of those showers. but those heavy showers will continue into the evening. they�*ll fade away from much of england and wales overnight. but we�*ll see some further wet weather coming back into northern ireland and scotland later on in the night. clearer skies in the south could see temperatures dipping away to eight or nine degrees. but the promise of some early sunshine, at least, for central and eastern parts of england. however, scattered showers will build up through the day. this time, the focus of the heavier

downpours with some thunderstorms is more across northern and eastern parts of scotland, this time. there will be some sunshine around with those showers building up too, and it will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine, i suspect. but those temperatures are typically going to be 16 or 17 degrees on bank holiday monday afternoon. one area of low pressure that�*s bringing all the showers at the moment will be replaced by another one coming in from the atlantic for tuesday. and that will push cloud northwards and eastwards and bring with it this showery rain as well. could get a bit wetter through the day across northern ireland and later into northern england. the best of the dry weather this time, after all those heavy showers on monday, will be across north eastern parts of scotland. typical temperatures around about 17 degrees or so on tuesday. now, that area of low pressure continues to push across the uk on tuesday night into wednesday. and so we�*ll see some further rain or showers, some of which could be heavy and thundery.

so wetter weather across southern scotland, northern england, driving down across other parts of england and wales to be followed by some heavy, perhaps thundery showers in scotland. this time the driest weather looks like to be in northern ireland. and again, those temperatures around 16 or 17 degrees. those temperatures aren�*t really going to change much over the weekend. it�*s about what we�*d expect at this time of the year. quite a changeable week ahead, though, it has to be said, with some further heavy showers. signs, though, with high pressure around later, it could turn drier.

this is bbc news, the headlines. rishi sunak vows to bring back mandatory national service for 18—year—olds if the conservatives win the general election — labour describing the plan asa gimmick. sirens heard across tel aviv as hamas say it�*s launched a large missile attack on the city — the first in months. some missiles are said to have been intercepted. no direct hits or injuries have been reported. the united nations says almost 700 people are feared dead following a landslide in papua new guinea. the figure is an estimate based on the number of houses believed to have been buried. at least 12 people are confirmed dead after a russian attack on a busy diy store in the ukrainian city of kharkiv. president zelensky says over 200 people could have

been inside the store when it was attacked.
