world leaders gather in switzerland with ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky to discuss how to bring peace to the country. the princess of wales makes her first official appearance since being diagnosed with cancer at the king's official birthday. hello, i'm carl nasman. we start in the middle east, where the israeli army says eight of its soldiers have been killed in a blast during what it called "operational activity" in the city of rafah in southern gaza. it identified one captain and said the names of the others would be released later. israeli forces have been attacking rafah for weeks — saying hamas�*s last remaining battalions are based there. meanwhile, the hamas—run health ministry in gaza said 30 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces in the past 2a hours. and in tel aviv on saturday evening,

thousands gathered demanding a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages held by hamas since the october 7th attacks. our correspondent hugo bachega is injerusalem and gave us this update. this is the deadliest incident involving the israeli military since january and one of the deadliest in this war. so, the military gave some details about what happened earlier today. it said these soldiers were members of an engineering unit and their armoured vehicle was hit by a large explosion. and this explosion then triggered the detonation of explosive material, engineering material in the car. so, this is under investigation. apparently, this was in breach of the standard practice, and an investigation continues. but daniel hagari, a military spokesman, said that this initial explosion was most likely caused by an explosive device in the area or by an anti—tank missile.

and we know that earlier today, the armed wing of hamas claim to have carried out an attack on an israeli convoy with an anti—tank missile after setting up an ambush. so, a huge incident in gaza. as i said, this is where the israeli authorities say hamas�*s last—remaining battalions are active. this is also where hundreds of thousands of palestinians have been sheltering, many have fled other parts of gaza because of this constant military activity. so, one of the deadliest incidents for the israeli military in this war. meanwhile, tensions have also been escalating this week between lebanon's hezbollah movement and israel along israel's northern frontier. on wednesday, an israeli strike killed one of hezbollah�*s senior commanders. in retaliation, the group then fired multiple barrages of rockets into northern israel. at the g7 summit, leaders expressed concern about the prospect of a broader war in the middle east.

i spoke about this earlier with colin clarke. he is the director of research at the soufan group, a global intelligence and security consultancy. it's great to have year on bbc news. it's great to have year on bbc news. i want to start by getting your thoughts on the explosion today in rafah, which killed at least eight members of the idea. what do you think that now says about the state of this war and this battle and nausea? —— the —idf do feel though this is something i warned about in an essay,. this is something i warned about in an essa ,. , . this is something i warned about in an essa ,. y . , ., , ., an essay,. they want the israelis to net an essay,. they want the israelis to get bogged — an essay,. they want the israelis to get bogged down. _ an essay,. they want the israelis to get bogged down, they _ an essay,. they want the israelis to get bogged down, they want - an essay,. they want the israelis to get bogged down, they want them l an essay,. they want the israelis to | get bogged down, they want them to get bogged down, they want them to get stuck into this quagmire weathers no political end goal in sight, and israeli troops are still dying. fist

israelis know the stakes are high. international communities are trying to work or some sort of deal to roll back tensions and stuff like it did feel that this deal got a pretty lukewarm response from israel itself, especially from the defendant sir, do you think this is a plan that israel might be on board with or are lies on the northern border thinking that they might wa nt to want to do you think this is a plan that israel might be on board with or are lies on the northern border thinking that they might want to. they're looking for more short—term or tactical victories. they are back saying that's not going to get us

the war in ukraine. the leaders of italy and germany strongly rejected ceasefire terms laid out by russian president vladimir putin on thursday, in which he said kyiv would need to withdrawal its troops from four regions that russia partially occupies. 0n the front lines, ukrainian forces in the country's northeast are struggling to prevent russian troops from advancing towards kharkiv. in his first address at the summit, president zelensky was highly critical of russia's president. putin has taken the lives of thousands of our people. why? because he wants to take over a neighbouring country. i do not wish this to anyone. i sincerely wish that all of you, all the peoples of the world, every child, every family could simply live without war, and i want this for all ukrainians. ukraine have the right to peace, just like all of you. ladies and gentlemen,

we must stop this war, based on the un charter, respect for international law, the just interests of the ukrainian people and the idea of the undeniable value of human life. life, not war. us vice president kamala harris met with president zelensky. they discussed the delivery of us aid packages including 1.5 billion in aid for humanitarian services, restoring energy infrastructure, and civilian security. during the event, ms harris voiced her full support for mr zelensky. russia's aggression is not only an attack on the lives and the freedom of the people of ukraine. it is not only an attack on global food security and energy supplies. russia's aggression is also an attack on international rules and norms and the principles embodied in the un charter. 0ur correspondent sarah rainsford has been following the summit in burgenstock.

shattering the peace of the swiss mountainside for the cause of peace in ukraine. volodymyr zelensky came to meet delegations from all over the world, coming together here to begin seeking out a path towards ending the war waged by russia. talking peace is new territory for kyiv, but now, it's seizing the initiative, hoping for a broad global alliance that can help push for a settlement on ukraine's terms. 101 states and international organisations are now at this summit. this is a tremendous success, our success, the common success of all those who believe that a united world, united nations, are stronger than any aggressor. russia was not at the summit because ukraine believes scenes like this show vladimir putin's not interested in peace, just destruction and domination.

only this week, he called on kyiv to capitulate if it wants a ceasefire. do you think that the west has been too scared of vladimir putin to actually help ukraine defeat him? well, i'm pleased that the uk has played a leading role in providing support to ukraine, the first country to provide lethalaid, more recently, under my leadership, main battle tanks, long—range weapons, to train air force pilots. that demonstrates the strength of support for ukraine. ukraine's close allies will have to go on doing all that, even as they support the stirrings of a peace process that would have to involve russia, too, at some point. we are looking for the possibility, if thisjoint plan will be ready, - it will be possible to invite a representative of russia| and represent this plan. but this is very important, l together with all countries, maybe just more, and it will be open dialogue. l the gulf is huge. the chances of bridging it seem so remote. but far from the devastation

in ukraine, perhaps there's a faint glimmer of hope. sarah rainsford, bbc news, lake lucerne. politicians in south africa are hammering out the details of the country's next government — the first since the end of apartheid not to be exclusively run by the african national congress, the party once led by nelson mandela. last month's elections saw incumbent president cyril ramaphosa led the anc to its worst result since the end of white minority rule 30 years ago, the first time it's held less than half the seats in the national assembly. mr ramaphosa was re—elected by the legislature friday — but only thanks to the support of the democratic alliance, the anc�*s traditional opponent, alongside two smaller parties. negotiations are under way to decide the shape a new national unity government — in which cabinet posts will be shared among its four member parties. for more on this unprecedented moment in south africa's politics, i spoke to wilmotjames, former

chairman of the democratic alliance. these two parties really don't see i tie. the da has it sorely been the biggest critic of the anc. now that they'll be partners in the government, how do you think this is going to work? and these parties work together?— going to work? and these parties work together? yes, they certainly can. if work together? yes, they certainly can- if you — work together? yes, they certainly can. if you think _ work together? yes, they certainly can. if you think about _ work together? yes, they certainly can. if you think about the - work together? yes, they certainly i can. if you think about the national interest at this moment of time, and the fact that the da, the democratic alliance — which i know white well — is a centre party and the anc needs to move to the centre as well. i think there's grounds for combination and sharing interest of the country. i combination and sharing interest of the country-— the country. i know you've been -a to the country. i know you've been party to some — the country. i know you've been party to some of _ the country. i know you've been party to some of those - the country. i know you've been i party to some of those discussions behind the scenes. can you give us a sense of what those discussions have been like? 50.

critics of the democratic alliance have labelled the party as the one thatis have labelled the party as the one that is there to represent the white minority in south africa is that fair? ., . minority in south africa is that fair? .. . .. . . minority in south africa is that fair? , , fair? the fact fact is it is a party of minorities. _ fair? the fact fact is it is a party of minorities. it _ fair? the fact fact is it is a party of minorities. it represents i fair? the fact fact is it is a party of minorities. it represents the | of minorities. it represents the party in the centre that includes everybody. if you look at the diversity of its elected representative, is very diverse. certainly a lot of people of colour. so the more work and that respect, but major strengths, and those strengths are very important make this country a successful one of a polish and progressive.— polish and progressive. serial rental photos _ polish and progressive. serial rental photos i _ polish and progressive. serial rental photos i will— polish and progressive. serial rental photos i will continue l polish and progressive. seriall rental photos i will continue as polish and progressive. serial- rental photos i will continue as the

compromises have to do with how this candidate deals with good governance and corruption and to have a far more effective police system, a far more effective police system, a far more effective police system, a far more effective system of national prosecutions and to infect make sure that they able to reduce the insecurity that so many south africans face when it comes to their lives. former us president donald trump is in detroit michigan to seek support from black voters and conservatives in the state mr trump spoke at a round table held by an african—american church earlier saturday, and is now going to speak at turning point action conference, a convention attended by far right activists and several republican politicians. turning point usa describes itself as a "non—profit organisation whose mission is to identify, educate, train and organise students to promote freedom". but the group has been criticised for promoting conspiracy theories,

while using misogynistic and racist rhetoric in its campaign. mr trump is not the only high—profile republican attending the convention. krisiti noem, the governor of south dakota, vivek ramaswamy, who was running against mr trump for the republican presidential nomination, and donald trumpjr were among the right—wing political figures and activists who spoke at the event. joining me live is bbc reporter mike wendling. why is donald trump there at this event? give us the significance behind the conference? inaudible looks like we have an issue with mike's audio. let's see if we can get that fixed. we're going to work on that audio there with our reporter mike. looks like we have an issue with the line. we'll come back

to mike when we have a chance just after our next story. thousands of people lined the streets of london for the trooping the colour parade, where catherine made her first official public appearance since announcing she was being treated for cancer. the princess joined the rest of the royal family at the annual event to mark the king's official birthday. it's the first royal engagement catherine has carried out this year. the king — who is also having cancer treatment — travelled by carriage instead of riding on horseback as he has done in the past. charlotte gallagher reports. a much—anticipated moment — the princess of wales back in the public eye. all eyes on her for her first appearance since she announced her cancer diagnosis. she was a huge draw for the crowds in central london today. this is a day full of tradition and spectacle, but it's also about family. the king and queen in their carriage.

it's his first trooping the colour since his own cancer diagnosis and he chose not to travel on horseback. national anthem plays the troops taking part in this annual celebration of the king's official birthday have been rehearsing for months. every step, drumbeat and musical note has to be perfect. the irish guards led the event this year and their colour, or regimentalflag, was on full display. their royal colonel, the princess of wales, looked on with her children, as the king took the salute from the parade ground, next to his son and heir to the throne, prince william — himself, the royal colonel of the welsh guards. the princess of wales only announced

she was attending the parade yesterday, and it's a welcome sign about her progress. but this isn't a return to full public duties. although the weather wasn't ideal, the pageantry of trooping the colour was the same, with the king braving the elements outside buckingham palace. cheering and as if on cue, the torrential rain stopped just in time for the traditional end to the day — a balcony appearance and fly—past. the king and princess of wales stood next to each other as they took in the red arrows display. a family united, after what's been an incredibly difficult six months. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. let's see if we can go back to mike

wendling now. mike, i believe donald trump actually is speaking right now. what's he'd been saying and what's the significance there of that conference?— what's the significance there of that conference? well, i hope you can hear that conference? well, i hope you can henr me _ that conference? well, i hope you can hear me now. _ that conference? well, i hope you can hear me now. we _ that conference? well, i hope you can hear me now. we got - that conference? well, i hope you can hear me now. we got you. i that conference? well, i hope you i can hear me now. we got you. good! peole can hear me now. we got you. good! people here — can hear me now. we got you. good! people here are _ can hear me now. we got you. good! people here are hard-core _ people here are hard—core conservatives from the hard right, they're real trump fans and he's going to get a really good reception. turning point is a youth activist group. there probably the most influential on the right of us policies on college campuses. they would be doing organising and grassroots work. that's really important because there's been a lot of infighting within the republican party. michigan, where it's happening, is a classic example. it's been a vicious party battle. inaudible

things like students are being kept illiterate by schools because, i quote, they're trying to recreate slavery and coming up with ideas like a plot by the deep state in the us government to destroy the american family. the rhetoric that was coming from the american family. rhetoric is a wealth of getting very warm reception by the audience. it's a mix of more mainstream conservative talking points and very strange and conspiratorial thinking quite like the slipstream there as well, now speaking at this conference. priorto well, now speaking at this conference. prior to that without an african—american torch. mike wendling, thank you very much. we're just about out of time. stay tuned more. hello.

saturday brought more than our fair share of heavy thundery downpours. for some of us on sunday, there probably won't be quite as many showers, particularly across england and wales, whereas for scotland and northern ireland, we'll see cloud and outbreaks of rain sinking southwards. on the earlier satellite picture from saturday, you can see clumps of cloud all rotating around the centre of an area of low pressure. this low still with us for sunday, but loosening its grip a little bit — so the winds will be easing, especially down towards the south. some showery rain first thing across some central and eastern parts of england. that should clear. then we will see some spells of sunshine, a scattering of showers, but not as many as we had during the first half of the weekend. conversely, for scotland and northern ireland, cloud will sink its way southwards, with some outbreaks of showery rain. quite breezy across the western side of scotland, down into the north coast of northern ireland, lighter winds down towards the south. temperature—wise, well, 13, 1a degrees in the north of scotland, 19 or 20 in parts of south wales and southern england. now as we head through sunday nights, we'll see this band of increasingly light and patchy rain sinking into northern england, parts of north wales. a lot of cloud filtering into western scotland and northern ireland. that'll hold the temperatures up — 11 degrees there in belfast,

and northern ireland. that'll hold the temperatures up — 11 degrees there in belfast, a little bit chillier where we do see any lengthy, clear spells. we will see some spells of sunshine on monday, perhaps the best of those across parts of wales, the midlands, down towards the south of england, the channel islands could just see one or two showers, and then we will see some showers breaking out once again through the day, always with a fair amount of cloud across the western side of scotland and northern ireland. temperatures north to south, 13—21 degrees, so not far off out once again through the day, always with a fair amount of cloud across the western side of scotland and northern ireland. temperatures north to south, 13—21 degrees, so not far off the average for the time of year. this clump of showers likely to move across the channel islands, perhaps clipping into southeast england on tuesday. some showers popping up elsewhere. a decent amount of dry weather. temperatures still in that range between 12, 13 in the north — 21 degrees down towards the south of the uk. now, this ridge of high pressure is going to try to settle things down through the middle part

of the week, but there's still a bit of uncertainty about how long it will hold on. this frontal system trying to push in from the south, this one trying to push in from the west. either or both of those could bring the return of some rain later in the week. there are some tentative signs that things could turn a little bit warmer later next weekend.

this is a bbc news, we will have the headlines for you at the hour, which

is straight after this programme. hello, i'm katie razzall here with ros atkins, and this is the media show. in a year of elections around the world and one here in the uk, this week, we're talking about how to interview a prime minister. we're also going to get into the evolution of reality tv — both the formats being made for us to watch but also, where we're watching them. and we're looking at the latest developments, the latest controversies when it comes to the netflix hit baby reindeer. well, let's begin with the task of interviewing the uk prime minister, rishi sunak. we are weeks away from election day here in the uk and, of course, the prime minister's giving a number of interviews. we're going to hear from paul brand from itv news. now, last week, paul interviewed the prime minister on the day of the d—day commemorations, and you may have seen there was a big controversy around the fact that the prime minister left those commemorations early.

in fact, the next day, he apologised for doing that.
