hello, i'm carl nasman. russian police have killed five gunmen who launched a deadly attack in the southern russian republic of dagestan. that's according to russian news agencies citing the national anti—terrorism committee. dagestan�*s governor said attackers killed at least 15 police officers and an orthodox priest during a series of attacks in the cities of derbent and makhachkala. two churches were targeted on the orthodox festival of pentecost, as well as a synagogue and a police checkpoint. 12 other police officers were wounded in the attacks. with me is daniel byman, senior fellow with the warfare, irregular threats, and terrorism programme at the centre for strategic and international studies. we are heeding now that

officials are calling this an act of terror. what do you make no just from the details act of terror. what do you make no just from the details we have and that these are taxpayer in russia? obviously there is a _ taxpayer in russia? obviously there is a lot _ taxpayer in russia? obviously there is a lot we _ taxpayer in russia? obviously there is a lot we do _ taxpayer in russia? obviously there is a lot we do not - taxpayer in russia? obviously there is a lot we do not know, but it fits a pattern of attacks we have seen, including last year by jihadists attacks we have seen, including last year byjihadists linked to the islamic state, which is probably the islamic state khorasan, which is in central asia, and has carried out attacks in moscow and this attacks in moscow and this attack is close to their home territory. attack is close to their home territo . ~ attack is close to their home territory-— territory. we know the sites that are targeted, _ territory. we know the sites that are targeted, two - that are targeted, two churches, one a synagogue, these are religious venues. can we make anything from that in terms of what was actually targeted? 50 terms of what was actually targeted?— terms of what was actually tarueted? . ,, ., targeted? so the islamic state and individual _ targeted? so the islamic state and individual set _ targeted? so the islamic state and individual set family - targeted? so the islamic state and individual set family to - and individual set family to see themselves as part of a religious struggle. they say western war on islam and they see a religious struggle. they say western war on islam and

the aca were done by christians and dues against muslims, so by striking religious targets, they believe they're defending their —— attacks done by christians and jews. figs their -- attacks done by christians and jews. as you said earlier, _ christians and jews. as you said earlier, we're - christians and jews. as you said earlier, we're still - said earlier, we're still working to confirm a lot of the facts here and figure out exactly who was behind this but in your assessment, do you think this has the hallmarks of an act by a group like isis oi’ or isis k? we have seen a scri -t or isis k? we have seen a script is — or isis k? we have seen a script is similar _ or isis k? we have seen a script is similar attacks, l or isis k? we have seen a i script is similar attacks, we know it is active in the region. we know that russia has failed to stop this group both from intelligence and law enforcement point of view. but this group has been active for

quite some time.— this group has been active for quite some time. you mention the region _ quite some time. you mention the region dagestan. - quite some time. you mention the region dagestan. what - quite some time. you mention l the region dagestan. what more can you tell us about this area of russia where these attacks happened?— happened? russia has been involved in _ happened? russia has been involved in fighting - happened? russia has beenj involved in fighting different jihadists orjihadi groups in this area for decades really. if we go back to the chechen conflict right next door in the late 90s, that was a conflict which started off as a nationalist conflict and became much morejihad is orientated. then we saw a lot of individuals from this region gunfight with the islamic state in iraq and syria. it's a continued balance in this religion, some of it trying to fuel many insurgencies, some terrorists, but this has been an ongoing problem. sometimes it has been quite active, sometimes less so, but it has never gone away.— never gone away. this is, of course. _ never gone away. this is, of course, happening - never gone away. this is, of course, happening just - never gone away. this is, of course, happening just a - never gone away. this is, of| course, happening just a few months after that deadly attack on a concert venue in moscow. that killed more than 140 people. that was claimed by the

terror group, in the end, isis—k. what do you think that says about the state of readiness, maybe, but russia, and the fact we have seen a couple know of very intense and deadly attacks within the country in just a matter of months? country in 'ust a matter of months?— country in 'ust a matter of months? , , ., . months? russian intelligence has clearly — months? russian intelligence has clearly failed _ months? russian intelligence has clearly failed to _ months? russian intelligence has clearly failed to get - months? russian intelligence has clearly failed to get a - has clearly failed to get a handle on these groups. they moscow attack was, of course, incredibly deadly and at the heart of the russian state, and well dagestan was less important to many russian officials, the scale of this attack, with multiple gunmen killing many policemen, targeting religious sites is an issue for the government. and it was a coordinated act, 70 people were involved, it was notjust people were involved, it was not just the few individuals acting on their own, —— so many people, which indicates russia's intelligence is not good enough to stop these

groups. good enough to stop these urou s. ., good enough to stop these a rou as. ., ., good enough to stop these u-rous. ., ., i. good enough to stop these ”mus, ., ., y” “ groups. how do you think vladimir _ groups. how do you think vladimir but _ groups. how do you think vladimir but it _ groups. how do you think vladimir but it will- groups. how do you think. vladimir but it will respond groups. how do you think - vladimir but it will respond to this attack? what you think the russian state will do no with what we have seen from the recent tax?— what we have seen from the recent tax? -- vladimir putin. it will recent tax? -- vladimir putin. it will begin — recent tax? -- vladimir putin. it will begin probably - recent tax? -- vladimir putin. it will begin probably by - it will begin probably by trying to implicate ukraine, the united states, european powers, sing somehow or another, they are involved, either directly or otherwise encouraging it. in addition to the propaganda, though, russia will often do large—scale arrests of individuals from central asia, arrests of individuals from centralasia, really arrests of individuals from central asia, really be willing to throw a lot of innocent people in the hope of finding if you're guilty ones, through the main dealer harass them, then there is much more repression in the region in general. this could be use of military force, assassinations, but russia usually uses a very heavy hand in the

circumstances. �*y ., senior fellow with the warfare, irregular threats, and terrorism programme at the centre for strategic and international studies. in his first interview with an israeli tv network since israel's war on hamas began in october, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the phase of intense fighting against the palestinian armed group is coming to an end. netanyahu said that would free up israeli forces to would free up israeli forces to be deployed to the northern border with lebanon, where fighting with the hezbollah armed group has escalated. more than 90,000 israeli residents have evacuated the area amid exchanges of cross—border fire between israeli forces and hezbollah. there are concerns of a wider conflict breaking out in the region.

israeli defence minister yoav gallant is here in washington to meet senior us officials. he is expected to discuss the next phase of the war in gaza and the hostilities between israel and hezbollah. mr netanyahu has meanwhile appear to chand on a us—backed deal that would end the war, and which was earlier approved by his war cabinet. he now says he's ready to accept �*a partial deal that will bring some of the hostages home' while the war continues. while a ceasefire in gaza would also help calm tensions with hezbollah, mr netanyahu has said hamas must be destroyed before the war concludes. translation: if there . is an agreement, it will be an agreement according to our terms, and our terms are not to end the war, to leave gaza and leave hamas as it is. i refuse to leave hamas as it is. we need to eliminate it. meanwhile in gaza, eight palestinians were killed sunday in an israeli air strike near gaza city. witnesses say the attack hit part of a college run by the un palestinian refugee agency which was providing aid to displaced families. in the occupied west bank, the israeli military has admitted its forces violated protocol by strapping a wounded palestinian man to a jeep during what it called a "counterterrorism operation" in the city ofjenin on saturday. a warning that viewers may find the video we're

about to show distressing. the man in the footage can be seen lying on the bonnet of a vehicle as it drives past two ambulances. we've decided to blur the image. his family said he was injured during the raid by israeli soldiers. the idf confirmed the incident, saying it "violated orders", adding that it would be investigated and dealt with accordingly. sebastian usher has more. the palestinians _ sebastian usher has more. the palestinians will _ sebastian usher has more. tie: palestinians will say what sebastian usher has more. ti2 palestinians will say what is going on in the west bank and has continued to do so any more intense level since war erupted between hamas and gather is very similar in the way the israeli army acts, they say that what these images show, these images that have shocked palestinians certainly and have gone viral is at best a lack of concern for palestinians have been injured. now, the man himself, a palestinian man and his family, have said he was shot and waiting for hospital

treatment. the family said they were waiting for ambulances to come. the man has spoken from hospital and said he was there for an hour or two hospital and said he was there foran hour ortwo and hospital and said he was there for an hour or two and also describe the pain that was because when he was strapped on the front of this vehicle, saying it was in the burning heat, so he had that. also the way he was put on it made his injuries all the worst. the extra accusation that this was some form of human shield, we do not have any clarification of that, but certainly this is an accusation that has been made on social media. we have had the un special rapporteur essentially accusing israel of doing this. russia says it holds the united states responsible, after a missile fired by ukraine killed at least five people in occupied crimea. according to moscow, more than 100 others were injured when missile fragments hit a crowded beach near sevastopol. the governor of crimea, which was annexed by russia in 2014, said four

us supplied—missiles had been intercepted by air defences but a fifth had detonated in the air. tv footage showed people running from a beach. 0ur security correspondent, gordon corera, has more on moscow's response. moscow is claiming that the us and ukraine are responsible for this. ukraine and the us haven't commented on that, but moscow's claim is that five ataka missiles were fired towards crimea. four of them were shot down by air defences, by russian air defences, but one, they say, detonated mid—air, raining shrapnel down on a local beach, and tv footage does show people running away, it appears, in panic from that beach. not likely to have been the target, probably a military target nearby was the intended place where those missiles were heading for. the russian authorities, saying a number of children were among those killed

and a large number wounded. significant, i think, that russia is trying to hold the us accountable for this and saying that it was us specialists, as they put it, who programme the co—ordinates for these missile strikes based on us satellite data. so suggesting that these are us—supplied weapons and the details of how they're used are also coming from washington and the us. even though it's a ukrainian attack, the russian authorities are saying they hold the us responsible and that they'll be raising this with the international community. but as i said, no word from ukraine or washington in response to those russian claims. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. manchester airport says flights have resumed after a power cut caused major disruption. people waited in long lines, and some airline passengers were held on runways

for several hours. some flights have been diverted to other airports. it comes at the start of the busy summer holiday season. the airport's managing director has apologised to passengers. search teams looking for a british teenager missing in tenerife have spent the day focusing on some small outbuildings near where his phone was last located. jay slater disappeared on monday while walking to his accommodation. the 19—year—old has not been heard from since he called a friend saying he was lost and needed water. scotland have crashed out of the euros, after losing 1—0 to hungary, who snatched a goal in the 100th minute of the match. the result means scotland finish bottom of the group. the hosts germany and switzerland have drawn 1—1 in their final group game. germany had already qualified for the last 16 and the result means switzerland willjoin them. you're live with bbc news the bbc understands that the gambling commission's inquiries into alleged bets

placed on the timing of the uk general election, involve more people than those publicly named so far. it comes as the labour party has written to the gambling regulator, urging it to release the names of everyone being investigated. recently it emerged a fourth senior conservative is being reviewed by the commission. the party's chief data officer, nick mason, denies any wrongdoing. here's helen catt. that is fantastic. what's been some of your highlights? rishi sunak�*s party has already tweaked its sales pitch at this election from being all about another term of conservative government to more warnings about labour winning big. but the focus is now being repeatedly pulled away from that message by fresh details about bets allegedly placed by tories on the election date. the home secretary this morning was the latest ministry to face questions about it. to your knowledge, home secretary, did any ministers put a bet on the time of the election? not to my knowledge at all.

i haveve been absolutely clear that from what i have read, lam not in any way going to defend the actions of these individuals. but i'm also conscious that i don't have the full details, the only organisation that does is the gambling commission and it is right that they take action, whatever the appropriate action, and they have been clear that we should not discuss this. the conservative party's chief data officer nick mason was earlier identified as the fourth conservative being investigated. he has denied wrongdoing and has taken a leave of absence. the bbc understands there are more people with links to the tories and the government being looked into. labour is making sure the questions keep coming. it's now written to the gambling commission, which hasn't named anyone it is investigating, calling on it to identify them all — it says in the public interest. the issue here is whether those people who had insider knowledge of what was going on used that information in placing a bet. people across the country will place bets but i think

there is genuine disgust. also in the sunday times today, the levelling up secretary explained why he thinks the investigation is damaging. he said it looked like "one rule for them and one rule for us, so if these allegations are true, it's very difficult to defend". a view echoed by the liberal democrats, who say rishi sunak needs to act. liberal democrats have already called on the prime minister to intervene personally to make sure that every single person who is being investigated is suspended immediately and that he launches a cabinet inquiry investigation. so, too, does this conservative, the former justice secretary. i am deeply, deeply hurt and rather angry that this has happened in the middle of a campaign that is tough enough without things like this to complicate it further. do you think the prime minister ought to suspend the people involved ? yes, i do. there's been a lot of criticism of rishi sunak�*s decision to call this election in the rain, but as it approaches the closing stages, it's the drip—drip of allegations that's doing more damage to

the tories' campaign. helen catt, bbc news. kenya's president william ruto has said he will engage with young protestors opposed to the government's plan to hike taxes. the demonstrations, largely led by young people, caught the government off guard. two people died and dozens were injured during thursday's protests in nairobi and several other cities across the country. the government plans to raise $2.6 billion to finance its budget and reduce its debt. more than 100 million americans remain under heat advisory alerts, as temperatures remain stubbornly high across much of the country. this is a heat map from the us national weather service — you can see areas with high temperatures coloured in orange and red spread from coast to coast. a recent analysis of us government data by the

associate press showed that 2300 people who died in the us last summer had excessive heat listed on their death certificate — the highest number ever recorded. the advice from authorities is to seek shelter, ideally with air conditioning. but for the hundreds of thousands of americans with no place to call home, that isn't always an option. i spoke earlier to donald whitehead junior, executive director of the national coalition for the homeless. he explained why heatwaves are so dangerous for people living on the streets. the population of unsheltered individuals is actually predominantly people over 55 years of age. and so people at that age level often suffer from respiratory issues, they suffer from insomnia, a number of really, really important and sometimes life—threatening issues, and so there is no protection from this heat. in urban communities,

you don't have vegetation or shade from trees or other other kinds of shade that would allow you to have a bit of a respite from those kinds of temperatures, we don't have outdoor drinking fountains so dehydration becomes an issue. let's turn to some other important news around the world. the government of saudi arabia has given the first official death toll for this year's muslim hajj pilgrimage to mecca, which took place during an extreme heatwave. the kingdom's health minister says that 1,301 pilgrims had lost their lives. 83% of them were not registered to join the hajj, he says. unregistered pilgrims oftens don't have access to amenities in saudi arabia, including air conditioned tents. health facilities treated nearly half a million pilgrims, and some are still in hospital for heat exhaustion. eight people in central china's hunan province have been killed after heavy rain caused part of a mountainside to give way, burying their homes. more heavy rain is

expected this week. china has been dealing with extreme weather for the last few months, with historic flooding in the south, and drought and extreme heat hitting the north. on friday, nasa and boeing postponed the return of the starliner spacecraft — with two astronauts on board — from the international space station. the launch earlier this month was delayed several times by technical issues and there were thruster problems and helium leaks during the flight. officials say the latest delay will allow engineers time to review the situation. a target date for starliner to return to earth is still undetermined, although the astronauts onboard are cleared to fly home in the event of a serious issue that requires a quick departure. joining me is the head of the kevin t crofton aerospace and ocean engineering department at the virgina polytechnic institute ella atkins. it is great to have you here. first of all, it sounds like there are a couple of different issues with the star liner spacecraft right now. can you help us understand what has

gone wrong and how common are the sorts of issues?— the sorts of issues? sure. this is the first _ the sorts of issues? sure. this is the first launch _ the sorts of issues? sure. this is the first launch of _ the sorts of issues? sure. this is the first launch of its - is the first launch of its kind. it is a new spacecraft and usually there are minor issues, in some cases more than minor. the first issue i have heard happened was when the spacecraft was first launch, there were some helium leak is detected. they were small, they did not compromise the mission, obviously it was successful in one day viewing and talking to the international space station. 0ne the international space station. one of the things that is done to actually dock with the space station is you fire what are called reaction control thrusters and they allow you to position yourself and orient yourself properly so you can execute a precision dock, which was successfully accomplished, but five of the 28 thrusters failed as they were approaching the space station. 28 is a lot extra. you did not need those five to be

safe. the spacecraft was able to dock and the astronauts are on board the iss.— on board the iss. with these issues and — on board the iss. with these issues and problems, - on board the iss. with these issues and problems, how i issues and problems, how concerning is this? are they just minor problems or could it be potentially something more dangerous?— be potentially something more dancerous? ~ , , , dangerous? well, they thrusters need to be _ dangerous? well, they thrusters need to be used _ dangerous? well, they thrusters need to be used on _ dangerous? well, they thrusters need to be used on the - dangerous? well, they thrusters need to be used on the way - need to be used on the way back, and so they need at the helium and they need to be able to use at the thrusters, but they have extra thrusters and they have extra thrusters and they do not have to do a precision landing. instead, they will be doing a parachute landing to the white sands desert, where airbags will soften the landing, and to my knowledge, this is the first time astronauts have actually done an airbag balance type landing. that means that while thrusters do have to adjust the return trajectory of the spacecraft, they do not have to do anything as precise as was

required for the international space station, so the return should be ok, even if the five thrusters do not work. my understanding is they have stopped using the faulty valve that they found during the lunch and eroding the system so that other valves are used. aha, that other valves are used. a bit of good news, at least. we heard that nasa has not given a date for a return yet. it could likely be next month even. we are talking aboutjuly here. what do you think the timeline looks like? how long can these are short stay at there? when you expect the night failed to make it back? the you expect the night failed to make it back?— make it back? the 155 is the best hotel — make it back? the 155 is the best hotel be _ make it back? the 155 is the best hotel be having - make it back? the 155 is the best hotel be having space | make it back? the 155 is the | best hotel be having space -- best hotel be having space —— when do you expect they might be able to make it back. i expect there comfortable now because they have joined other crew on the iss and comfortably enjoying the space environment for a little longer than they may have imagined. the spacecraft is docked. 0ne may have imagined. the spacecraft is docked. one of the reasons they are waiting is because of the two evas, extra

because of the two evas, extra be clear activities, one scheduled forjune 24. i'm assuming _ scheduled forjune 24. i'm assuming it _ scheduled forjune 24. i'm assuming it is _ scheduled forjune 24. i'm assuming it is a _ scheduled forjune 24. i'm assuming it is a space - scheduled forjune 24. i'm assuming it is a space walk? scheduled forjune 24. i'm - assuming it is a space walk? -- extra via _ assuming it is a space walk? -- extra via killer _ assuming it is a space walk? » extra via killer activities. any time they go outside the space station, they call it an extra vehicular activity, you have to have the space it to protect the human from the environment. they're having one tomorrow, and the other is planned forjuly two. they are a big deal because there are a lot of safety protocols which have to be followed and everyone is hands—on to make sure the astronaut is safe, so they are purposely not focusing attention on returning starliner until after they're over. �* , , ., starliner until after they're over. , , ., over. briefly before i let you io, over. briefly before i let you go. what — over. briefly before i let you go, what think _ over. briefly before i let you go, what think this - over. briefly before i let you go, what think this also - over. briefly before i let you go, what think this also has | go, what think this also has about boeing itself. 0bviously about boeing itself. obviously it has a confidence for the space programme, do you think it dents its ability to safely deliver rational to space? thea;r deliver rational to space? they were safely —

already quite humid across some southern and eastern areas, a little bit fresher — the north and west will see the best of the morning sunshine. more cloud into north and west scotland through the day. some low cloud around the coasts. and this here's the remnants of that old weather front. it caused a lot of cloud in the afternoon yesterday for parts of wales and the south—west especially. it's more across the midlands and drifting into parts of south and east yorkshire later. not going to have a massive impact on temperatures, widely in the mid 20s for many — scotland 26, northern ireland at 24—25 celsius, experiencing their hottest day of the week. now, as we go into monday night, we'll see thicker cloud bring a bit more in the way of patchy light rain and drizzle to scotland and the west of northern ireland. some low cloud drifting northwards into northern england, but notice where that cloud is in place. temperatures not dropping much lower than around 15—17 celsius. now, as we go into tuesday, we've got that weather front which brings rain at the end of the day in western scotland, pushes a bit further southwards, combines with the old weather front which is sitting here across northern england

to produce a bit more cloud for scotland, northern ireland, northern england on tuesday — the chance of a few showers breaking out later in the day. scotland, northern ireland, still warm where early sunshine gets through, but nowhere near as warm as monday. the heat continues to build further south and east, up to around 28 celsius in the london area by this stage. now, as you go through tuesday night into wednesday, that first weather front starts to push away, but still remnants of it across the northern half of the country, producing one or two showers, more especially across scotland. but away from that, some sunny spells across england and wales and the heat could build even further — could get to 28, 29 celsius by the time we hit the middle part of the week. some showers and heavy downpours in northern ireland later, and that's ahead of this area of low pressure between us and iceland, which will drive a cold front eastwards, sweeping away the humid air gradually as we go through thursday and into friday and introducing fresher conditions. but temperatures back closer to normal as we head towards the weekend and a few more showers around as well. take care.

the fortunes of companies like nvidia have been driving stock markets. but is it still full speed ahead? how one organisation in india is cooling the impact of the heatwave for women. hello and welcome to business today. i'm steve lai. technology stocks are in the spotlight as we close out the

first half of the year. the us benchmark s&p 500 index is up by more than 15%. the tech—heavy nasdaq is performing even better, up by almost 20%, with most gains coming from the frantic race in artificial intelligence and the chips that power them. but last week, shares of chip designer nvidia showed signs of slowing down. david kuo is the co—founder of the smart investor website. he says ai could continue to lead markets in the months ahead. there is no better word for it than mania. it's kind of different to saying it's in a bubble. i mean people have very high expectations of this new artificial intelligence. they don't quite know how it's going to pan out, but they know that there are certain companies in the centre of the artificial intelligence revolution and nvidia is one of them, and they are sort of putting their money behind nvidia and saying we think this company is going to drive the growth in al.

what do you think the main thing that investors
