take part in the annual cheesey contest in gloucestershire. good evening. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has said an airstrike which killed dozens of people in gaza was a "tragic mishap". the hamas—run health ministry said at least 45 people, including children, were killed when a strike hit a camp for displaced people in the tal al—sultan area of rafah. the united states said the killing of innocent palestinians was "heartbreaking", and warned that israel must take every precaution possible to protect civilians. the israeli army said it had been targeting two senior hamas leaders. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson is injerusalem tonight.

well, the scenes we have seen from the camp and hospitals around rafah in the last 2a hours have piled more pressure on israel but leaders, days after the un highest court ordered israel to immediately halt its military operation in rafah, but the israeli prime minister made the point forcefully to the israeli parliament today that he had stood up parliament today that he had stood up against that international pressure and pushed ahead with the war in gaza, but it's also clear that israel is increasingly keen to make the point to the world that it doesn't target civilians and it abides international law. a warning that our report to might contain some distressing images. morning didn't end the nightmare, but it brought the children, picking through the debris of the dead. the burned remains of shelters mark the place where israel says a top hamas commander was hiding among

thousands of displaced families fleeing the fighting in rafah to the south. translation: we were preparing our children's beds for the night _ and we heard a very loud noise and fire erupted all around us. all the children started screaming, the shelter was shaking and our room was full of shrapnel. the airstrike hit an area seen as outside israel's current military assault. shouting. israel says it used precise munitions, intelligence and aerial surveillance to reduce the risk to civilians but that the strike ignited fires across the camp. local reports suggest there was a fuelling station nearby. gaza's hamas—run government says dozens were killed and injured, many of them children. hospitals starved of

supplies now flooded with patients, the barely alive. the emotionally dead. shouting. israel's army says it has launched an investigation. last night the idf targeted two hamas commanders in rafah whose hands were drenched in israeli blood. civilian casualties are desperately sad, but this is the war hamas wanted and started. yesterday, hamas rockets were fired from rafah towards tel aviv and surrounding israeli towns. all those heading for urban areas were intercepted. gaza's civilians can't rely on their government's defences. a family car, today a makeshift hearse for his only sister.

where israel and hamas talk of victory, families count their losses until all that is left are the people and then even they are gone. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. the labour leader has pledged to "stop the chaos" and "rebuild the country", in his first major speech of the election campaign. sir keir starmer appealed to undecided voters, and urged people to trust him to deliver economic stability and protect national security. rishi sunak, also out campaigning today, dismissed the speech as "waffle", saying it contained "not a single plan for the future". we'll have more about the prime minister in a few minutes, but first here's our political editor, chris mason, on keir starmer�*s speech. a man waiting, waiting for his moment, waiting, he hopes, to be prime minister. if you've ever wondered what this man is all about, today was his attempt to give

you an answer. the leader of the labour party, keir starmer. applause. this, the village hall in lancing in west sussex, as sir keir spoke of his own background. if you're working class, you're scared of debt. you're scared, my mum and dad were scared of debt. so they would choose the bill that they wouldn't pay rather than go into debt. and they chose the phone bill. they would have the phone cut off rather than pay the bill because it was the easiest one to do without. the labour leader is also acknowledging he has plenty of persuading to do. whatever the polls say, i know there are countless people who haven't decided how they'll vote in this election. they still have questions about us. has labour changed enough? do i trust them with my money,

our borders, our security. my answer is, yes, you can! applause. the challenge for him is can he convert disillusionment from some with the conservatives into votes for him, even enthusiasm for him? do you accept that there is perhaps an enthusiasm deficit, a lack of enthusiasm for you? we have to ask why people are looking to labour, and i think they're looking to labour because they can see a changed labour party, which is absolutely country first, party second. they might be looking, but are they enthusiastic? are you concerned about a lack of enthusiasm for labour? i do think there's an underlying issue here, which is over the last 14 years, i think the government's probably beaten the hope out of many people. and i want to restore the idea that politics can be a force for good. would you describe yourself as a socialist? look, yes, i would describe myself as a socialist. i'd describe myself as a progressive. how would you describe

your socialism? because that word to some people might be scary off putting, but you're happy to answer that question directly, you just did. let me just explain exactly what i mean by that, because for me, this is about, politics is about putting the country in the service of working people. there are only two people who can be prime minister after this election. here is the verdict of his opponent. there's a clear contrast in choice at this election. it's another day, we've had another speech from keir starmer, who you just asked me about, another half hour speech — not a single new idea. he's taking the british public for granted. keir starmer talked today of this road in hurst green in surrey, where he grew up. he claims it's about as english as it gets. those who seek to govern us seek too to attempt to personify, however imperfectly, the country they seek to lead. biography, background, beliefs — it's all under scrutiny.

chris mason, bbc news. we'll hear more from chris in a while but, before that, dozens of business figures have tonight signed a letter endorsing the labour party's economic plans, saying it's time for a change. senior leaders from retail, manufacturing and financial services say they believe labour "wants to work with business�* on long—term growth." our economics editor, faisal islam, is with me. what is in this letter? the shadow chancellor. _ what is in this letter? the shadow chancellor, rachel— what is in this letter? the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, - what is in this letter? the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, made| what is in this letter? the shadow i chancellor, rachel reeves, made her first major speech of the campaign as you say, there are 120 business figures saying they broadly back labour plans, for we have had the full manifesto. when you step back, its not necessarily a it's not necessarily a representative sample of british business, nor is it a list of the elite ftse 100 business, nor is it a list of the elite ftse100 captains of industry, but it does in general show that

it's the sort of letter the conservatives would have tried to put out, particularly in the 2015 campaign, and one signatory signed up campaign, and one signatory signed up for david cameron profession of the letter in 2015 is now backing labour. when i ask other signatories of a toy letter in 2015 what they were doing, they say they wouldn't sign an equivalent in the future, and somebody in the cabinet has suggested they might be trying to get a letter equivalent for the conservatives the conservatives want the business community to come out and criticise labour but not her plans for industrial relations, for repealing some of the anti—trust laws. that hasn't happened yet. we wait to see what the shadow chancellor tells the business community tomorrow. meanwhile, rishi sunak had been defending the conservatives' plan for mandatory national service for 18—year—olds. the prime minister, visiting a football club in buckinghamshire, said it was a "bold" proposal

which would foster a culture of service and strengthen the country's security. the proposal would involve one week of volunteering a month or a year—long military placement. this modern form of national service will mean that young people get the skills and the opportunities they need, which is going to serve them very well in life. it is going to foster a culture of service, which is going to be incredibly powerful for making our society more cohesive, and in a more uncertain and dangerous world it is going to strengthen our country's security and resilience. one of rishi sunak�*s mps was suspended from the party this afternoon, after she endorsed the reform uk candidate standing in the seat she's vacating at the election. lucy allen won telford for the conservatives in 2017, with a majority of more than 10,000. but she's now said she's backing reform's alan adams, who she's known for many years, rather than see what she called "more of the same politics and more of the same politicians".

the snp leader has told voters that the quickest way to "rid scotland of the tories is to vote snp". speaking at a campaign event, john swinney said the party would challenge every conservative seat in scotland. the liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey, has told voters it's time for change. at the party's scottish launch, he said voters had been doubly let down, by the conservatives at westminster and the snp at holyrood. he said the liberal democrats would fight for a fair dealfor communities. so, as we head into the working week, let's assess where the campaigns are tonight with our political editor, chris mason. your thoughts at the end of a long weekend and then into a working week, chris? weekend and then into a working week. chris?— weekend and then into a working week, chris? ., ., ., , , week, chris? hello, from canterbury in kent, week, chris? hello, from canterbury in kent. as— week, chris? hello, from canterbury in kent. as we _ week, chris? hello, from canterbury in kent, as we had _ week, chris? hello, from canterbury in kent, as we had from _ week, chris? hello, from canterbury in kent, as we had from one - week, chris? hello, from canterbury. in kent, as we had from one campaign stop to the next. labour's campaign

so far, at least, seems pretty polished. born of a desperate need to avoid unforced errors and a desperation to win. and the endorsements from business leaders. i mentioned there had been a few bumps for the conservatives in the early few days. the bumps have kept on bumping for the conservatives. you brought us the news of lucy allen and we have also heard of a leaked memo from conservative headquarters that talks about mps who have gone on holiday and others not willing to knock on doors. that memo was sent by accident to some mps and then leaked to the times newspaper. rishi sunak says tonight he takes responsibility for the conservative campaign and he is enjoying campaigning around the country. you can see a stylistic difference between the two big parties at westminster and their

campaigns. labour being very careful, arguably cautious. the conservatives willing to try and make a splash. yes, they are the incumbents, but when you look at the opinion polls, the underdogs. they are trying to grab attention, the national service idea. 0ne are trying to grab attention, the national service idea. one of those, expect more to come in the next couple of days. expect more to come in the next coume of dam-— expect more to come in the next couple of days. chris, thanks very much for now. _ couple of days. chris, thanks very much for now. chris _ couple of days. chris, thanks very much for now. chris mason. - a woman who was stabbed to death on bournemouth beach on friday night has been named locally as amie gray, who was 34. she was a personal trainer and coached a local women's football team. another woman, who's 38, remains in hospital with serious injuries. a 17—year—old boy arrested in connection with the incident has been released without charge. police have issued these cctv images of another man they now want to question. the raf has grounded the battle of britain memorial flights following the death of one of its pilots in a spitfire crash on saturday. squadron leader mark long was flying

near raf coningsby in lincolnshire when the aircraft came down. a spokesman said the memorial flights were paused while a formal investigation is carried out. cases of melanoma skin cancer are at an all—time high in the uk, with more than 20,000 people expected to be diagnosed with it this year. the charity, cancer research uk, is warning people to do more to protect themselves from the sun, and say there's been a particularly big increase in cases among older people. chi chi izundu reports. going to take a locating photograph. these are just some of the examples of what melanoma skin cancer can look like and, according to cancer research uk, the number of cases of this serious and often most dangerous form of the disease is on the rise. rates of melanoma have increased by almost a third over a decade. it is more common in the elderly. among those aged over 80 there was a 57% rise,

while amongst those aged 25 to 49 there was a 7% increase. 17,000 melanoma cases every year are preventable. and one source of the uv radiation comes from the sun, damaging skin cells and causing cancer. we think there are a few different reasons for this record high of melanoma skin cancer cases. the main one being too much exposure to ultraviolet or uv radiation from the sun and sunbeds. but there are other factors at play as well. here in the uk we have an ageing population and age is a big risk factor for cancer. we also have a growing population, so when you have more people we are going to see more cases. another reason the figures are up is because people are getting better at spotting abnormalities and going to the gp. last month, experts revealed a game—changing jab is being

trialled on british patients which has dramatically reduced the risk of melanoma returning. but prevention is key. in order to stay safe apply generously high factor sunscreen often, cover up and avoid the sun between 11 and 3. chi chi izundu, bbc news. rafael nadal may have played his last match at the french open. the 14—time champion lost in the first round to fourth seed alexander zverev. at 37, nadal has said this will probably be his last season of professional tennis, though he's said he does want to return to roland garros for this summer's 0lympics. the king has been given the first seedling grown from the sycamore gap tree, which was illegally cut down. the seedling was first seen by the public at the chelsea flower show last week. once it's matured into a sapling, it will be planted

in windsor great park. the sycamore gap tree had stood next to hadrian's wall in northumberland for 200 years, before it was chopped down last year in an act of vandalism. 100 seedlings have been bred from the felled tree. bette nash, the world's longest—serving flight attendant, has died aged 88 after nearly 70 years of airborne service. she had never officially retired from her role with american airlines. the airline said she started with them in 1957 and held the guinness world record for longest—serving flight attendant. they said, "bette inspired generations of flight attendants. fly high, bette," just a taste for you now of gloucestershire's famous annual cheese rolling competition.

competitors from all over the world ignored warnings about potential dangers for this unofficial event. there were a number of injuries last year, but again today people willingly threw themselves down cooper's hill, in a tradition that began two centuries ago. the prize for the winners? appropriately, a large wheel of double gloucester. i'm buzzing, i'm buzzing. it's like you start and then the adrenaline takes over and then you just go, go, go. you just have to roll, you have to send it and then you'll get it. how do you feel? i mean, there's a little bit of pain. just a little bit of pain! there's lots of categories and you can watch every race on the iplayer. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker.

the weather was mixed, it wasn't ideal but we have had it worse, we had some showers and some sunshine. tomorrow is looking overcast and raining on the way. i don't think it will rain all day long and they will be glimmers of sunshine and that is because the weather front approaching isn't particularly wide, not carrying an awful lot of moisture so they will be some rain spreading away but you can see the band of rain as it moves across ireland and the south—west of england and wales. early in the morning it is clear across the bulk of eastern scotland and along the north sea coast. there will be some sunshine in norwich and newcastle. there is the area of low pressure, drags on all those layers of cloud, outbreaks of rain. but i think in the afternoon there will be some sunshine developing, certainly in northern ireland, across wales and into the midlands. temperatures about the same of what we had today.

on tuesday, that is tuesday evening, clear spells. wednesday's weather forecast, a day of sunny spells and showers. the showers across eastern scotland and along the eastern counties could be heavy and thundery at times. but i think the further west you are on wednesday, the brighter it will be. some fine weather in northern ireland and around the welsh coast. the rest of the week is a mixed bag, but eventually as we head towards friday, high—pressure roles in off the atlantic, anchors itselfjust to the atlantic, anchors itselfjust to the west of ireland. we have a northerly breeze, it's not going to be particularly warm compared to what we sometimes get this time of year, high teens and low 20s, but look at the symbols for saturday and sunday. beautiful weather in belfast, beautiful in cardiff. london... back to you. thank you very much. and that's bbc news at ten on monday 27th may. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our

2% target, which is why we are having the election. you are having a much more classic bank holiday than me because i'm in this air—conditioned studio with a laptop and you are in a pub beer garden, but you aren't stuck in, because the name rings a bell because it is where keir starmer grew up. yes. where keir starmer grew up. yes, that is right- _ where keir starmer grew up. yes, that is right. we _ where keir starmer grew up. yes, that is right. we are _ where keir starmer grew up. yes, that is right. we are here - where keir starmer grew up. ya: that is right. we are here because earlier on, keir starmer was that is right. we are here because earlier on, keir starmerwas in lansing in sussex on the south coast, another classic spot to spend a bank holiday monday in the sunshine. he was doing a speech basically the keir starmer the man, who are my, what are my all about? he brought followers of politics, as i know many of the viewers are exactly that, there was plenty pretty familiar. it is a classic of a political campaign that you perfectly, sensibly as a political

leader, you sort of recap and go back over stuff you might have said plenty of times before but people only starting to pay attention. there was quite a bit in the speech from keir starmer to date about him and where he grew up. you may be familiar with the line of a pebble —— so in surrey on the kent surrey border. that is where i am, and the pebble dash said is 400 yards from this very year garden. what pebble dash said is 400 yards from this very year garden.— this very year garden. what do --eole this very year garden. what do people think — this very year garden. what do people think of _ this very year garden. what do people think of you _ this very year garden. what do people think of you turning - this very year garden. what do | people think of you turning over this very year garden. what do - people think of you turning over to see the famous address that wasn't famous until recently? it is perfectly — famous until recently? it is perfectly reasonably - famous until recently? it is perfectly reasonably one i famous until recently? it 3 perfectly reasonably one or two people around here might be a little weary about the arrival of journalists like me poking about and waving a camera, because they've seen it all before. i'm gratefulfor the sort of forbearance of the

locals here, who are perhaps well used to seeing folk like meeting up. thank you for putting up with me and others who come in the next few weeks or months, because it's a must be tiresome. i've got a flavour of the sentiment and it is understandable, so thank you for putting up with us reporters. i thought the back story staff, the first 20% of the speech. it thought the back story staff, the first 20% of the speech.- thought the back story staff, the first 2096 of the speech. it was the first 2096 of the speech. it was the first 2096, but — first 2096 of the speech. it was the first 2096, but if _ first 2096 of the speech. it was the first 2096, but if you _ first 2096 of the speech. it was the first 2096, but if you did _ first 2096 of the speech. it was the first 2096, but if you did a - first 2096 of the speech. it was the first 2096, but if you did a check i first 2096 of the speech. it was the | first 2096, but if you did a check on first 20%, but if you did a check on a word document it wouldn't be that. the thing that struck me was they were having to do it again so they think the keir starmer back story hasn't sunk insufficiently to the consciousness yet. understandable because people don't probably is as closely as we do for ourjobs.

second of all, the injection of a real date of reality to it. i hand realise quite how countryside the place he grew up is. i knew about the pebble dash semi, the worry about the bills and as mum and dad not paying the phone bill one time because they could live without it. i didn't know about when he played football, they were showing the pitch with house.— pitch with house. yes, it's interesting. _ pitch with house. yes, it's interesting. i— pitch with house. yes, it's interesting. i was - pitch with house. yes, it's. interesting. i was rereading pitch with house. yes, it's - interesting. i was rereading today tom baldwin's biography of keir starmer, tom baldwin who used to work for the times and went to be director of given occasions for eight to miliband, and he's written a biography of keir starmer, which is broadly sympathetic. tom baldwin is broadly sympathetic. tom baldwin is a former employer of the labour

party and he describes, i don't have the exact phrase, so apologies if i'm not quoting word for word, but he describes around here as being almost as indistinct as some elements of how keir starmer is sometimes portrayed. in other words, not urban, but not real either. we are not far from the m25, from london, we are in surrey on the borders of kent. it is definitely far more rural than the kind of label and a caricature sometimes hung around keir starmer by his opponents when he is described as from north london. keir starmer today described this as he sees it as quintessentially english. it got me thinking that people who seek to govern, seek to represent us, seek

to somehow, however imperfectly, personified the country they want to lead. and we had a bit of it from keir starmer today, talking about this place, basically, and where he came from, trying to paint a picture of what he's all about and what made him as he sees it the man he is, as well as the north london thing, the constituency thing, where he now lives and represent in parliament, andindeed lives and represent in parliament, and indeed some of those labels that some of his opponents will seek to throw around his neck that might sort of lean into that kind of metropolitan detachment thing that goes with seeing to be from an representing north london. and that thing around landing being somewhere, it gives a sense of a

world city that happens to
