as the search enters its sixth day. greek police have arrested 13 people on suspicion of causing a wildfire which has been blamed on fireworks shot from a private yacht. and british and american royalty are pictured together at a concert in london. welcome to bbc news. the hamas government in the gaza strip says at least 38 people have been killed in israeli attacks in several neighbourhoods of gaza city. israel says its fighterjets struck hamas infrastructure. hamas says the attacks targeted civilians. separately, the international committee of the red cross says its field hospital is treating badly wounded people, including children, after explosions in a tent camp on friday, which also damaged its gaza office. here's our middle east correspondent, yolande knell.

there have been more deadly israeli strikes on different neighbourhoods of gaza city. in al—shati camp, large strikes there. you can see these dark plumes of smoke in social media videos. several homes flattened, shocked people rushing to help the casualties who are at the scene. there has been speculation on israeli media that a senior hamas commander was being targeted, but the official israeli military statement talks only about hamas infrastructure being targeted. the israeli military has also put out a statement saying that there was not a direct attack on an international committee of the red cross facility, in al—mawasi, in rafah a day ago. that was where at least 22 people were killed according to the red cross when there was shelling on a tent camp for displaced people, and the red cross office nearby was also damaged. to the north of here, on the israel—lebanon border, tensions

remain extremely high. there's been an intensification in cross—border violence with israeli forces and the lebanese armed group hezbollah. but the israeli military says today it killed a man there who was an operative of hamas and another allied group, saying that he was supplying these groups with weapons, and they have put out a video of the deadly drone strike they say was on his car. as we heard, there's growing unrest on israel's northern border with lebanon. the two sides have exchanged fire across the lebanon—israel borderfor months. our middle east correspondent, lucy williamson, has been to the israeli side of the border this week, and sent this report.( war empties neighbourhoods. here on israel's northern border, many say war is also the way to get residents back. were you hurt, did it hit you? yes, i was here, i stayed here.

david has refused to leave, even when rockets landed right in front of his house a few weeks ago. shrapnel slicing through the walls, missing him by inches. it's made him even more determined to stay. every day, every night, bomb — problem. and i born here. what do i say? look, hezbollah. kill hezbollah. rockets hit kiryat shmona every week. this slipped past israel's defences last friday, hitting a street outside the mayor's office. the us is pushing hard for a diplomatic solution here, but the mayor says full—scale war is the only way out. translation: sitting - here like lambs to slaughter, just waiting for the day they attack us, like we saw in the south. it's unacceptable, and everyone understands the choice is between war now or war later. israel has been striking back across the border and talking up preparations for a full—scale

offensive against hezbollah. hezbollah has vowed that nowhere in israel would be spared. tough talk is part of both sides�* strategy of deterrence, but it can also spotlight the path to war. looked like a missile. i don't know. it looks like they shot it to the middle... tom was out when a hezbollah rocket hit his house in kibbutz malkia, right on the border. look what one rocket can do to a house. it just. .. everything ruined. it's crazy, no? he says israel's leadership has failed. they lost it. they need to quit. all of them. yeah. the biggest failure of our army and our country was on the 7th of october, and they were the leaders. protests for a ceasefire in gaza that would also calm tensions in the north aren't working on israel's prime minister.

mortgaged by his promise to far right government allies to destroy hamas before ending the gaza war. playing for time is his specialty, but this, many say, is playing with fire. lucy williamson, bbc news, the israel—lebanon border. russia has hit a residential area of kharkiv city in northeastern ukraine with what local officials say were four glide bombs. the authorities say three people have been killed and nearly a0 others have been injured in the attack, some of them critically. rescuers are searching the debris for survivors. earlier, the governor of the neighbouring russian region of belgorod reported the death of a civilian in ukrainian shelling. on the uk election trail, nigel farage has insisted he will not apologise for remarks about president putin which have been condemned by the leaders of britain's biggest political parties. mr farage — the leader of reform uk — told the bbc that russia's invasion of ukraine was provoked by europe and nato.

the prime minister, rishi sunak, said the remarks were "completely wrong" and played "into putin's hands". but writing in the telegraph, mr farage said he was "telling the truth". with more, here's our political correspondent harry farley. vladimir putin this morning at a ceremony to mark the nazi invasion of russia in world war ii. his invasion of ukraine has largely united british politics. this is more like a police interview! but last night, the man who says he wants to be leader of the opposition, said it was a consequence of eu and nato expansion. we've provoked this war. you know, of course it's his fault. he's used... but we provoked the invasion of ukraine? yes, and very interestingly, once again, ten years ago when i predicted it... by the way, i'm the only person in british politics that predicted what would happen. and of course, everyone says i was a pariah for daring to suggest it. rishi sunak has so far been

reluctant to criticise mr farage, perhaps hoping to persuade those who tempted by reform to back the conservatives. no such hesitation this morning. what he said was completely wrong and only plays into putin's hands. this is a man who deployed nerve agents on the streets of britain, who's doing deals with countries like north korea, and this kind of appeasement is dangerous for britain's security, the security of our allies that rely on us, and only enboldens putin further. there has been wide—spread condemnation. farage's comments about russia and ukraine are disgraceful. i've always been clear that putin bears responsibility, sole responsibility, for the russian invasion of ukraine. ——aggression in ukraine. i think anybody who wants to stand to be a representative in our parliament should be really clear that whether it's russian aggression on the — battlefield or online,

we stand against that aggression. the liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey, on a chicken farm this morning said that only president putin was responsible for the death of civilians in ukraine. mr farage's political opponents are hoping his chances of winning here in clacton are dented by his views on the kremlin. harry farley, bbc news. our correspondent gary o'donoghue says this is a rare occasion of a direct criticism of the reform uk leader by the prime minister in this election campaign. it's true, he's been reluctant, i think, to go after nigel farage for fairly obvious electoral reasons. but on this kind of territory, if you like, on the ukraine war, he feels much more confident. and that's, i think, because there is large—scale unity, if you like, across the parties on what should be done about ukraine, about backing the ukraine war efforts, about, if you like, putting vladimir putin firmly in the kind of guilty camp on this one. and that's also, i think, why he went as far as to use the "appeasement" word,

which of course in britain has huge resonance back to the 1930s and european fascism and the rise of hitler. so i think this is an interesting moment. but, you know, one of the things and one of the consequences i think the parties will be thinking about after the election is, you know, if reform does win seats and if nigel farage himself were to end up in parliament in some kind of role, in some kind of opposition role, would that change the approach of the british government to ukraine? what we don't really know is what his attitude would be given his views on ukraine, about continuing the war funding. yeah, gary, meanwhile, the labour party leader has come under criticism on his stance on gender recognition, hasn't he? he has from the author, jk rowling — of course, the author of the harry potter books, an enormously successful and well—known figure and someone who has been critical, if you like, of some of the issues around trans

and gender identification. she used to be a labour party member. a labour party donor and she has said that she thinks that labour has abandoned women and she said that she would struggle to support the party this time around. now, labour has moved, or labour in london at least has moved on this, and sir keir starmer said the question time special earlier this week that, you know, he supported tony blair's view that, you know, biological women had vaginas and that men had penises. and that is seen as a bit of a move from his previous stance on that several years ago. but it doesn't seem to be enough to get the backing of this sort of well—known figure who has in the past been a staunch supporter of labour. greek police have arrested 13 people on suspicion of causing a wildfire on the island of hydra, south of athens. there's been uproar on social media after a private yacht was blamed

for setting off fireworks. local firefighters shared this photo on their facebook page, but it is unclear if this yacht was the one that launched the fireworks. our europe regional editor, danny aeberhard, explained where the anger is directed. it's definitely directed at the people who allegedly set off fireworks. we're not quite clear at this stage because there is an investigation ongoing at the moment, so there's some reports that it may have been fireworks, other reports it may have been flares, which obviously boats have on them to warn for emergencies, for example. and the fire itself is in this rather inaccessible part in the south—west of hydra. and overnight there was a massive operation, including boats, to try to get firefighters to this beach because there are no roads to this beach. helicopters have been used as well, and they have actually managed to contain the fire. but the anger is basically that it's very evident in greece that there's a very high fire risk.

greece last week experienced the earliest heat wave since records have begun — that's three days over 38 degrees consecutively. so warnings have been going out, basically take care with fire. this particular area was under a high fire risk as well. so people are saying this is stupid — you know, what on earth were they doing? let's get some of the day's other news now the leader of the independence movement in the french pacific territory of new caledonia has been formally charged following deadly protests in may. it's not clear exactly what christian tein has been charged with. prosecutors have said they're investigating complicity in homicide, arson and membership of a violent group. swiss police say at least three people are missing after severe flooding in the alpine town of zermatt. a combination of heavy rain and melting snow has led to rivers bursting their banks. trains in the area have been suspended. officials say the flooding

is expected to last throughout the weekend. three people have been killed and ten wounded in a shooting outside a grocery store in the us state of arkansas. two law enforcement officers were among those injured, but their conditions are not life—threatening. a suspect was injured and has been taken into custody. the authorities in paris have postponed a rehearsal for the olympics opening ceremony because of the high levels of the river seine. the rehearsal involving a fleet of boats was due to take place on monday, with the ceremony itself due in five weeks�* time. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre portugal are through to the last 16 at the european championship with a game to spare. they beat turkey 3—0 in dortmund. elsewhere in group f, georgia and czech republic

tournament today. —— 15. belgium are looking to get their tournament back on track. they lost their opening match to slovakia so have to take something from the game against romania in cologne. they have made a brilliant start, yuri tielemanns. one of the four changes to the belgium side, scoring inside the first couple of minutes. it remains a one had an egg zero to the belgians. —— 1—0. india are closing in on a place in the semi—finals at the t20 world cup. they beat bangladesh by 50 runs in antigua. india were put into bat first and made a rapid start and though they lost a few wickets, including both kohli and yadav in the same over, hardik pandya was unbeaten on 50 as india posted 196—5. bangladesh never got close in their chase. they reached 146 for 8. india top their super 8s group and face australia next on monday. lando norris is on pole for sunday's spanish grand prix at the circuit de catalunya. by 200ths of a second with a blistering lap

mr slater hasn't been seen since last sunday when he went to a music festival in the south of the island. he left by car with two men in the early hours of the next morning, telling friends he was staying at their apartment. the teenager was last heard from on monday morning when he rang a friend, saying he had missed a bus travelling south and was attempting to walk the ten—hourjourney back. the call then cut out. his last known location was at the rural teno national park. fiona trott is in playa de las americas where jay was visiting last weekend. it's hard to imagine that he was here one week ago enjoying a three—day music festival. i have spoken to a bar owner who said that he met him that night — he was relaxed, happy, having a good time with his friends, like thousands of other teenagers here. now, one week on, he has missing posters of jay on his walls. he says it's hard to understand how he disappeared. what we understand is he left here on the early hours of monday morning with two men,

they took a ao—minute car journey to a holiday home in the remote village of masca. it's understood that was the last place he was seen. we have spoken to a neighbour, who says he asked her about bus times and she told him he would have to wait two hours. he then headed off in the opposite direction, further into the mountains. his friend lucy told us that he then called her and said he was about to start a ten—hour walk back to his accommodation, and that's when the phone went dead. the police haven't told us what they think happened that night, they say they do not comment on current investigations, but have confirmed that nobody has been arrested. instead their searches have continued in that national park there today. they say that they are using sniffer dogs and drones. of course, this is the day when he is supposed to be back home in lancashire with his family, telling them about the holiday that he had. instead they are here anxiously waiting for news, hoping that tomorrow somebody, something will turn up and give

the police more information to help them find their son. thousands of people have joined protests across ireland after an off—duty soldier who assaulted a woman in the street was spared a prison sentence. natasha o'brien, pictured here hugging a supporter, was punched six times in limerick by cathal crotty after she told him to stop shouting homophic abuse. crotty, who's 22, later boasted about the incident on social media. ajudge gave him a three—year suspended sentence, saying he didn't want to end his army career. ms o'brien, whose injuries included a broken nose, has criticised the irish justice system. the irish defence forces says it has begun an investigation. for organising illegal hajj pilgrimages, and has stripped the companies of their licences. more than 650 egyptians were among about 1100 unregistered

pilgrims who died as temperatures around mecca rose above 50 degrees celsius last weekend. unregistered pilgrims don't have access to proper facilities such as air—conditioned tents and official transport. our world affairs correspondent caroline hawley reports. it's a sacred duty for muslims to perform the pilgrimage once in their lifetime — if physically and financially able. and it's a colossal logistics operation for the saudi authorities. they've been criticised in the past for the way they've handled the hajj, for deadly stampedes. but this year, the danger came from blistering heat. there was water on hand, large sprinklers and some air—conditioned areas for the more than 1.8 million pilgrims. but it was more than 50 degrees in the shade and the scorching temperature took a terrible toll. ather hussain is imam of leicester's central mosque. he'sjust returned home from saudi arabia,

scarred by what he saw. it was undoubtedly a traumatic experience. you would walk and you simply wouldn't know where to look because everywhere you turned, you would see someone struggling in some way or the other, people completely drowned in sweat. it's not just the frail and the elderly who were affected. i saw perfectly fit individuals who were struggling just to make 50 yards. in the village of menoufiya, in northern egypt, a family mourns. 70—year—old effendiya sold jewellery to pay for the pilgrimage. she had a tourist visa and, like many others, wasn't officially registered for the hajj. her children say she was left to walk for miles, taken advantage of by an unscrupulous tour operator. she called home as she was dying. translation: i screamed and couldn't believe it. - she phoned my brother and told him she felt her soul is leaving her body. i wish i was with her.

the casualties come from many countries and there are fears that climate change will, in the future, make the hajj even more dangerous. the charity islamic relief has called for urgent steps to inform pilgrims of the risks, and to ensure that their safety is paramount. caroline hawley, bbc news. now to bangaldesh — where all health centres and hospitals have been ordered to stock anti—venom after reports of a surge in snake bites across the country. hospitals in rural areas say bites, especially by the russell's viper, pictured here, are becoming more frequent. a recent study said around 7000 people in bangladesh die each year from snake bites. the russell's viper was declared extinct in bangladesh in 2002 but scientists say the species has now returned. taylor swift's record—breaking eras tour continues in london this weekend, with an estimated 700 thousand swifties heading to the capital

those showers have been moving away from the east coast. and the change that's coming in next is arriving in the north west of the uk where we're seeing more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland, that could bring one or two spots of rain. that damp weather, cloudy weather will push down overnight to northern england, wales and the south—west. these areas a bit misty, may well be some hill fog around as well, but either side of that band of cloud, we've got clearer skies and typical temperatures, ten or 11 celsius. it's going to warm up tomorrow. temperatures tomorrow are going to be higher than today. it's the first sign of things starting to heat up over the coming few days. still got that cloudy start, though, for northern england, wales and the south—west. any drizzle won't last long at all. cloud will tend to lift, but spread across to the midlands and eventually into the south—east of england. sunnier skies develop across other parts of england and wales and plenty of sunshine to come this time for scotland and northern ireland, with light winds. and it will be warmer, temperatures two or three degrees higher than today. we may make 25 celsius in the south east of england once again. and the pollen levels are still going to be very high for all of the uk but the far

north of scotland. and temperatures will continue to climb as we move into the beginning of next week underneath this area of high pressure, and that's going to keep those towards the north—west. we're going to find a bit of a misty start in the south—west of the uk, sunshine elsewhere. but i think as temperatures rise, so will bubble up the cloud, tend to spread it out a little bit into the afternoon as well. but it's continuing to warm up. temperatures higher again on monday, widely the mid—20s as that heat pushes into scotland and northern ireland, 27 celsius in the south—east of england. now, as we move into tuesday, this weather front will eventually bring a little rain to scotland and northern ireland, but still dry and very warm with some sunshine for england and wales. and the heat is going to continue to build. today, temperatures near normal. it's warmer on sunday, but into the early part of next week those temperatures really do climb and it could be that the heat lasts a little bit longer before the weather breaks and eventually we get some showers.
