israel announces an hour's pause in military activity in southern gaza. 100 world leaders meet at a peace conference in switzerland to rally around ukraine and agree on terms for a proposed end to russia's invasion. in the general election, a warning over nhs funding promises. and as spain and italy kick off the euros with wins, england prepares for their first match of the tournament later today. when you know, you know.

we start this hour with the latest on the israel gaza war. in the last few hours the israeli military has announced what it's calling a daily tactical pause in part of southern gaza, but not the city of rafah. that the city of rafah. is where the focus of the military that is where the focus of the military operation is. it says the halt in operations will be during daylight hours to facilitate the delivery of aid. aid organisations have repeatedly warned of a humanitarian crisis in gaza. israel has released the names of the eight soldiers killed by a hamas rocket in rafah on saturday, the deadliest incident for its troops in months. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu addressed and has vowed to continue the war against hamas.

here is the latest from our news correspondent in jerusalem jon donnison. well, to be honest, it's not really clear because initially we had a statement from one branch of the idf saying that indeed there was going to be a tactical military pause each day lasting from 8:00 in the morning till 7:00 at night around the kerem shalom crossing from israel into gaza, and then stretching over to the main coast road, which runs north to south in gaza. we've since then, though, had another statement from the idf saying that it wanted to bring clarity that there is no cessation in hostilities in rafah or in southern gaza and that the operation to get aid into gaza is continuing as normal. that followed a statement from israel's hardline national security minister, itamar ben—gvir, who said that whoever made the decision to introduce a tactical pause was both evil and a fool. how much aid is getting into gaza at the moment? well, according to aid agencies and the united nations, not enough.

there is no aid crossing in from rafah, from the egyptian side of the border. we've got thousands of trucks backed up there waiting to bring aid in. some is passing in every day through kerem shalom. but as i say, not enough according to aid agencies. the us—built pier off the coast of gaza has been dismantled this week because of rough seas, so there just isn't enough aid getting in. the un is saying that more than a million people in gaza are facing starvation within a matter of weeks. israel disputes that. they say there is no humanitarian crisis in gaza. meanwhile, the fighting continues and we had the deaths of those eight israeli soldiers on saturday. yep. eight israeli soldiers who've now been named, they were aged between 19 and 23. so pretty young. this was the heaviest loss of life

for the israelis since january. what apparently happened is they had been carrying out an operation against palestinian militants in the early hours of saturday morning. as they were retreating from rafah one of their armored vehicles was hit with some sort of missile. there was a large, large explosion and they all died immediately. hamas is saying it targeted that vehicle with some sort of anti—tank missile. a week ago or so, we were talking about the possibility of a ceasefire. and we've had more comments from the hamas leader based in qatar today. yes. this is coming from ismail haniyeh, the leader of hamas�*s political wing, who's in doha. and he has said that the counterproposals, i guess,

that hamas put forward to that american plan, american—israeli plan, were consistent with what the united states has been demanding, that it is contradicted by really what the state department is saying, they say, were some of the amendments that hamas had proposes were reasonable. others were just not consistent with the deal. and i don't think those talks are really going anywhere at the moment. antony blinken, the us secretary of state, has now left the region, his eighth visit to the region. and there is a feeling, i think on the ground that neither hamas, particularly their leaders in gaza or the israeli government led by prime minister benjamin netanyahu, i don't really think either of them are pushing for a deal at the moment. interestingly, the pentagon saying that the israeli defence minister will soon visit washington for talks with his us counterpart because washington still would like a ceasefire if they could get one, wouldn't they? they do want one. i mean, frankly, the whole world wants one. the united nations has pushed for it with that security resolution

backing a ceasefire plan last week. there's no doubt that the egyptians and the qataris who are mediating want it, but it all counts for nothing, really, if the two main figures who are calling the shots and that is yahya sinwar, the hamas leader in gaza, and prime minister benjamin netanyahu, don't want one. now, here in israel, there are elements of his government on the far right who have said they will quit the government, forcing fresh elections and bringing prime minister netanyahu's government down. if he does a deal.

the nuffield trust said plans laid out by both conservative and labour would save the nhs for the tightest spending period in a0 years and both parties talked about the changes they've made in cancer care. our fleet to be more transparent? ? yes, the nuffield trust said both labour and the conservatives are not been transparent enough about the funding challenges facing the nhs over the course of the next parliament. important to say spending is due to go important to say spending is due to 9° up important to say spending is due to go up but not due to go up by as much as it traditionally does and by as much is the nuffield trust says is needed to deliver on current plans in place. a big part of improving outcomes in the nhs is dealing with issues around social care and the shadow health secretary wes streeting was asked this morning

by bbc why his party had not come up with a clearer plan about how to reform social care. this is what he had to say. i make no bones about the fact, of course, on social care, i would have wanted the manifesto to be more ambitious, but to get policies in the manifesto, you had to run the gauntlet of answering two fundamental questions. can we keep this promise? can the country afford this promise? and if the answer to either of those questions was no, it's not in the manifesto. and that is why when people pick up labour's manifesto as they're deciding how to vote, they should know that they can trust every single policy in there that would offer real change for our country. and of course, once we get the economy growing, which is the central starting point of a labour government, if we win the next general election, we will have more available to either invest in our public services or put back into people's pockets. the conservatives jumped on that

admission that the labour party would like to do more to try to suggest they would spend more of taxpayers money. this was the response of the transport secretary. i thought you meant was very constructive. i think he has let the cat at the pike about the plans of labour. he admitted in your show and another one earlier that the manifesto was not the whole story, it was a document to get through the election campaign and is confirmed there are more spending promises to, and that can only mean more taxis and that can only mean more taxis and exactly what we've been saying all the way through. what and exactly what we've been saying all the way through.— and exactly what we've been saying all the way through. what he said as after a campaign _ all the way through. what he said as after a campaign we _ all the way through. what he said as after a campaign we would - all the way through. what he said as after a campaign we would hope - all the way through. what he said as after a campaign we would hope if . all the way through. what he said as| after a campaign we would hope if we want to then have a spending review in future budgets and nobody could say the conservative manifesto from 2019 something you stop to strictly. —— that you stop to strictly. ——

stock. ——stuck. the nuffield trust suggests neither party is being totally transparent about this and the calculation suggest the liberal democrats want to spend slightly more on health care but ed davey spoke about how his party of the most ambitious plans. improving care is riaht in most ambitious plans. improving care is right in its — most ambitious plans. improving care is right in its self. _ most ambitious plans. improving care is right in its self. i _ most ambitious plans. improving care is right in its self. ijust _ most ambitious plans. improving care is right in its self. ijust don't - is right in its self. ijust don't believe you can sort out health and leisure is sought out social care. it is partly because of my personal experience, i was a carer when my mother was terminally ill and then my grandmother looked after me when my grandmother looked after me when my mum died, i looked after her and then i have my disabled son so i have a lifetime of caring. and with my own experience and experience millions of people out there is that

the family carers are critical. what i want to see at this election is if you don't support the family carers as well as the care workers will not sort this out and i absolutely passionately will do that and we have come forward with probably the most ambitious agenda and i'm really excited about it because we talked about it without a really strong reaction from people.- about it without a really strong reaction from people. social care is an issue i think _ reaction from people. social care is an issue i think both _ reaction from people. social care is an issue i think both main - reaction from people. social care is an issue i think both main parties l an issue i think both main parties would admit indifferent parliaments they have not managed to get on top of and the way that willie might�*ve helped the nhs system. that nhs system really close to the hearts of voters so in any general election campaign i think the question going forward and this is which party voters will trust the most to deliver any kind of change to both the nhs and social care. we have just had a photo posted on

social media on the kensington road account, the account of the prince and princess of wales and there you can see a picture of prince william and the three children with we love you, papa, happy father's day and too little hearts gc and l, george, charlotte and louis. we think this is probably the first time the children have posted something. it is definitely the first time the children have posted anything on social media and i doubt they were physically posting it himself, there are a bit young still but this was a message from them to their father on father's day and is a picture taken on a beach in norfolk where they have one of their family homes and a place where they often go to in the school holidays and they get a lot of privacy and a lot of time there

to relax and it is also very special place for them. the photo was taken by the princess of wales, you can muster when she is taken it because she will sign it off at the bottom. there was a bit of controversy earlier this year with a photo that is essentially been edited and we all remember the controversy that erupted from that but this photo she's posted today as she says it has been taken by her. we've also had another photo of them on their account —— from them on their account —— from them on their account which is of king charles and william is a very young boy playing football together in 198a in royal garden and i think maybe the reason that was protected a is that england are playing their first game that was protected a is that england are playing theirfirst game in euro 202a. and of course prince william is part of the football association and he loves football. it is father's day of course in the uk that picture is very sweet and they

look very relaxed. i think they are really relaxed when you take those photos and it is really different when you look at the photo of the king and prince william is a very young boy, that king is wearing a suit and shoes in novelty in the garden playing football and that is so well photos used to be. but in the photo released today of the children there in casual clothes and shorts and volume has a baseball cap on and a hoodie and i don't think charles would have put out footage that 20 or 30 years ago, so are relaxed happy family photo to celebrate father's day. very different from what they were in yesterday trooping the colour. william probably wants to go home and put on ofjogging bottoms relax at home and not without very constricting uniform. catherine is still undergoing cancer treatment.

she is and she returned to the public eye yesterday at trooping the colour. but this is not full public duties and she will not be out and about all the time she was previously, she is still undergoing treatment and she issued a statement on friday since she is making good progress but not over which it and with as people with ongoing chemotherapy will know sunday's want to get out and about to make the most are feeling well but yours about these we need to listen to your body a rest and relax so i think the decisions of when she will make more public appearances will be done as and when she feels ready to done as and when she feels ready to do that. as we said, that rather sweet picture has been posted on the official account of the prince and princess of wales on father's day. if you are a father and celebrating, have a great day. let's take a look at the sport.

england play serbia today and denmark play slovenia. the netherlands face poland and their opener. it has been tournament so far full of opener. it has been tournament so farfull of goals and opener. it has been tournament so far full of goals and records were spain and italy among the big names celebrating victory. by by half—time, spain were out of sight. the three—time winners starting and style, unlike the

defending champions. just 23 seconds it took for albina to stun italy in dortmund and with another 60 minutes they were behind us bastoni and barella reminded us it is not how you start but how you finish. meanwhile mother next opponents scotland laid down an ominous marker, hitting hungary three goals to one. —— beating. it looked like scotland were heading through to the t20 with a shock win against australia who had already qualified. the historians were struggling having lost three wickets while still needing 121 off 70 balls but

they got their target of a81, so your winning by five wickets with two balls to spare out to maintain their unbeaten record in the tournament. i5 their unbeaten record in the tournament.— their unbeaten record in the tournament. ,. , ., ., tournament. is chilly as a world class cricket _ tournament. is chilly as a world class cricket team _ tournament. is chilly as a world class cricket team and - tournament. is chilly as a world class cricket team and they - tournament. is chilly as a world | class cricket team and they have been for many, many years. they always put up a good fight. —— australia. i'm glad it was a close game today and we shall be ten completed a high level against the best players in the world and the show tonight were not far away from literally the best in the world. earlier in antigua england got the win they needed to keep the hopes alive with hardy groups scoring a7 not out as england made hundred 22 for five wickets in their ten overs and england eventually won by a1 runs. the final round of the us open gets under way shortly. the american

leads the way seven under overall. he scored a superb three under par 67 and he will be last out today and rory mcavoy is after first major title. ——mcilroy. it tests your chipping, it tests your putting, it obviously tests your mental fortitude more than any other golf tournament. so, yeah, as i said at the start of the week, it's a style of golf that i've started to try and embrace over these last few years and it's the reason that my performances at the us open have been much improved over the last half a decade.

to the war in ukraine, and the final day of a peace conference in switzerland is expected to adopt a declaration reaffirming ukraine's territorial integrity in the face of russia's invasion. representatives from 100 countries are attending the meeting although russia was not invited and its ally, china, is not participating. late on saturday night local time, a draft communique was issued. it reaffirmed the territorial integrity of ukraine and stated unambiguously that any threat or use of nuclear weapons against it was inadmissable. it warned that food security must not be weaponised in any way. the draft also called for a complete exchange of prisoners of war and for the return of displaced ukrainian children and civilians. shattering the peace of a 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 the summit. and 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 wasn't 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 lethal aid. more recently, under my leadership, the first country to provide 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 this joint plan will be ready, it will be possible to invite a representative of russia and represent this plan. but this is very important. together with all countries, maybe just more. and it will be open dialogue. the gulf is huge. the chances of bridging it seem so remote. but far from the devastation in ukraine, perhaps there is a faint glimmer of hope. sarah rainsford, bbc news, lake lucerne.

the closing statements are being made today and that this the pictures you can see and there you can see slovenia and we have seen some comments from the prime minister of the netherlands who said those attending were united in their quest for peace in ukraine. we will keep and i crossed that closing statements and bring you statements from the leaders to speak. the home secretary has asked for an urgent expedition from surrey police after officers officers the home secretary has asked for an urgent explanation from surrey police after officers used their car to ram a cow that was on the loose. the force says it was acting to ensure public safety, and the animal is now being treated by a vet. this report from simon jones contains images you may find upsetting. friday night, and a cow is wandering down a busy road. police say they've been trying to capture it several hours after it had been running

at members of the public. what happened next has been described by the rspca as upsetting and distressing. we've decided not to show it in full. the cow is deliberately hit at speed by a police car. the animal is knocked onto its side and, as it attempts to get up, it's hit again by the vehicle. i'm thinking, why�*s that cow at the top of my road? as i came out, i've seen the police car come, he's rammed it and then it's got up and carried on running again, and he's rammed it again. i think it could have been handled better, i think it was quite extreme, the way the police dealt with it. i think it could have been dealt with a lot more humanely. i think it was quite distressing for everyone. in a statement, chief inspector sam adcock said... i think it's really difficult, because that police officer at that time, their number—one training priority is to protect the public around them. that poor animal was obviously

really psyched up because it had been... it had managed to get out of its field, it got lost, it was running around an urban environment, you can tell from the footage it was very stressed indeed. this is the street where the cow was rammed. it suffered a large cut to its leg and is being looked after by a vet. 0n social media, the home secretary, james cleverly, said... after being hit, the cow eventually gets up and runs off before being caught. surrey police say they will now refer what happened to the independent office for police conduct. simon jones, bbc news. hello. sunday brings an improved day

weather—wise for some of us, particularly across parts of england and wales where we had heavy showers around yesterday. there will be some sunshine, still a few showers on the cards. it will be cloudier with a bit of rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland at times, as well, because we're closer to the centre of low pressure here. we've got a couple of fronts just pushing their way south, so that is pushing that cloud and patchy rain across central and southern scotland into northern ireland through the latter part of the morning. elsewhere across england and wales, we're looking at some sunshine and a few showers. they will be most frequent for north—east england, the east midlands down towards the south—east. i think mostly dry out towards the west. lighter winds here than yesterday. still quite breezy for the western isles. that northerly breeze pushing down towards northern ireland, as well. we're looking at the mid—teens in the north, 13 to 16 degrees. 17 to 20 further south. we've got high levels of uv for some of us in between those showers, particularly for southern parts of england and wales. for some of us, some very high levels of pollen today. the pollen count is on the rise, in

fact, over the next couple of days. now, into this evening and tonight, then, we've still got quite a lot of cloud in the north. it pushes a little bit further south. this weak front overnight brings a little bit of patchy rain to wales, central parts of england. some clear skies to the south of that, so temperatures six or seven degrees here, but i think most of us about nine to 12 to start monday morning. so still quite a cloudy, reasonably mild start to the day. there will be some showers once again on monday bubbling up through the day across eastern scotland, parts of northern england, perhaps the midlands, as well. one or two for wales. southern england will be mostly dry with some sunshine, so an improved picture here. temperatures, in fact, up to about 22 towards the london region. a slightly less chilly day, so we're looking at temperatures back up to the seasonal norm, really, on monday. into tuesday, again, quite a bit of dry weather for central parts of the uk. some rain possible in the south—east. some showers building during the afternoon for northern england and eastern scotland. in between any of the showers, not a bad sort of day. lighter winds. temperatures about 21 in the warmest spots, but again,

a bit cooler across the northern half of scotland. high pressure tries to ridge in through the middle part of the week, but sandwiching that high pressure there is low pressure both to the north and to the south as well. so, yes, some drier weather on the cards. a lot of dry weather for cardiff, for instance, but still a chance of a few showers, but it's a touch warmer than it was last week. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the

israeli military is to observe an hours—long porcine military activity along a road in southern gaza to allow for the delivery of much—needed aid, though the military emphasised there is no ceasefire in combat would continue in rafah. 100 world leaders meet in switzerland to back ukraine's territorial integrity, in an effort to end russia's invasion of ukraine. there has been a focus on territory, nuclear power sites, exchanging... a warning from a leading health think tank over health commitments. the nuffield trust says all parties need to be more transparent. prince george, prince charlotte and prince george, prince charlotte and prince louis post a message to their father on father's day in the first social media post. you can see more of that photo on
