11:07 am
the date of the general election. so fresh questions for the conservatives today. james cleverly, who we just heard from on the rwanda policy, was pressed on this and askedif policy, was pressed on this and asked if he knew of any ministers who may have placed bets on the general election dates. he said not to his knowledge. but these allegations, and they are allegations, and they are allegations at this stage, the gambling commission is looking into this matter, does bring risks for the conservative party. rishi sunak has said he was very angry to learn about the allegations but he has really, and i was on the conservative party bus earlier this week, really did not want to go into it very much, saying there was an investigation going on and it would not be appropriate to comment much further, but he has talked previously about integrity and trying to build trust with the electorate, and allegations like that risk undermining that as we head towards polling day.- that risk undermining that as we head towards polling day. thank you ve much head towards polling day. thank you

11:09 am
several neighbourhoods of gaza city on saturday. 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. mohamed taha from bbc arabic gave us his analysis. the raids onjenin and the other cities in the west bank never stopped since this war started on the 7th of october. the israeli forces used to do incursions in all cities to try to hunt militants and wanted in these cities. in this particular incident, the israeli forces were trying to fight with a number of militants injenin. amongst them, this person, a suspect of being a member of hamas.
11:10 am
when this person got wounded and his family tried to call an ambulance, the israeli forces strapped him on a bonnet of a car, as we saw, and drove him away. he ended up in a hospital, being treated but we saw the image that we saw on the tv. the situation in the west bank is escalating all the time. there are 528 people died in the west bank since the 7th of october. 133 are children and the situation in the west bank is not better than the situation of gaza. and gaza, as the right—wing ministers in the israeli government are inviting the israeli forces
11:11 am
and israeli army to do a full invasion to the west bank, exactly as happened in gaza. russia launched an air attack on kyiv and its surrounding region on saturday night, forcing the engagement of air defence systems to repel the strikes. earlier president zelensky has called on international allies to stop the wave of russian glide bomb attacks after three people were killed in kharkiv. the authorities say nearly forty others have been injured in the attack, some of them critically. more than 2&00 of these russians bombs have been dropped on ukraine this month alone. the attack on the area continued into the night, with the air alert in the kharkiv region lasting for almost 17 hours. peter dickinson is ukraine editor at the atlantic council, a think tank. he updated us on what's happening on the front lines around kharkiv.
11:12 am
the russian offensive seems to have run out of steam. soldiers are being withdrawn in the north. what we're seeing now instead is a new emphasis, a shift in emphasis, or rather an intensification of the aerial war with russia bombing attacks on ukraine's civilian infrastructure, particularly the country's power grid, and also on civilian targets in key cities, particularly kharkiv. they seem to be aimed at undermining their ability to function, and in kharkiv, what we are seeing is a very steady attempt to de—populate 60, to force people to flee. yesterday's attack striking a residential building. the
11:13 am
death toll is three people, there are dozens injured, but also, significantly, that sends a very strong signal to all the people still living in kharkiv that nobody is safe and ukraine is unable to defend them against particularly at these glide bombs.— defend them against particularly at these glide bombs. thanks to peter dickinson for _ these glide bombs. thanks to peter dickinson for that. _ passengers flying out of manchester airport terminals have been told to stay away after a major power cut disrupted a significant number of flights in the early hours of this morning. large queues of people formed inside the airport, where a number of flights were cancelled, with further disruption expected, and some flights diverted to other airports. here's a clip sent from philip banfield, who is a passenger stranded at manchester airport. so i now have an update for you that we are now stuck airside. our aer lingus plane has taken off from manchester on time without any passengers able to get on the plane.
11:14 am
and of course, that leaves an enormous number of passengers now stranded at manchester airport wondering how they are going to continue their onward journeys. but we'll find a way. with more on this, we can hearfrom simonjones. so what is the latest? manchester is the uk's third _ so what is the latest? manchester is the uk's third busiest _ so what is the latest? manchester is the uk's third busiest airport - so what is the latest? manchester is the uk's third busiest airport and - so what is the latest? manchester is the uk's third busiest airport and i i the uk's third busiest airport and i think it is fair to say during the course of the morning, manchester has gone into meltdown. you see pictures of the cues that have been sneaking inside and outside terminals one and two. they have been very badly affected by this power outage. people have been complaining that they have been kept in the dark, literally at one point when the lights went out, but also complaining about a lack of communication and information about exactly what is going on. what we know is that about 1:30am there was
11:15 am
a power cut affecting large parts of manchester. that knocked out the baggage and security systems at the airport. eversince, even though baggage and security systems at the airport. ever since, even though the power has come back on, the airport has been grappling to get things back to normal. what they had is a huge backlog of passengers, thousands of people, building up inside terminals one and two, so they are trying to clear that backlog, but of the limited number of lights that are able to take off, they say passengers can only take cabin bags with them. they are having to leave their suitcases behind, in the hope they will be reunited with their swimming costumes and towels in the coming days. but many flights have been cancelled altogether as they try to clear the backlog from earlier, and those problems will likely continue for the rest of today. terminal three is not as badly affected by the power outage, so we are told flights are running from terminal three, but there are likely to be
11:16 am
some delays there too. the big question, how long is this going to last? there is not going to be any quick fix because of the numbers of people involved, so the idea is to check before even heading to the airport. check with your airline that your flight is definitely going to take off. otherwise you might be in for some bad news if you are trying tojet off in for some bad news if you are trying to jet off on holiday. trying to 'et off on holiday. simon, thank trying to jet off on holiday. simon, thank ou trying to jet off on holiday. simon, thank you for— trying to jet off on holiday. simon, thank you for that. _ now it's time for a look at today's sport. the fate of scotland's national team hangs in the balance today as they face hungary in a crucial group stage match in stuttgart. a victory could propel them past the group stages of a major competition for the very first time. among the sea of tartan army supporters are paul leonard and his son archie, a professional bagpiper. i think it would be huge because for

of this week. and the reason for the change, really, is a change in the position of the jet stream. early in the month when it was cold, the jet was to the south. it's now to the north of the uk or on the warmer side of the jet and temperatures will rise. but we have seen some cloud around. the cloud should break in northern england and perhaps wales. the cloud pushing its way into the midlands and the south east. so clouding over for these areas. cloud should break a bit in scotland and northern ireland. when the sun comes out it's going to feel very warm. temperatures a bit higher than yesterday, 21 degrees in eastern scotland and 2a or even 25 in the south east before the cloud arrives. many places will have some sunshine to end the day. there will be some cloud continuing, though, overnight across the midlands in particular and southern england that will keep temperatures a bit higher here. further north, though, temperatures could be down to eight or nine degrees in eastern scotland and northeast england. but at least here we'll have a sunny start. may well see the cloud increasing a little bit in scotland and also for northern ireland.
