with armoured vehicles, have withdrawn from the presidential palace after what appeared to be an attempted military coup. heavily armed troops had taken over the city's main square, with one armoured car trying to ram the doors of the presidential palace. bolivia's president luis arce denounced what he called the "irregular mobilisation by some units "of the bolivian army", saying "democracy must be respected". he then addressed the nation, alongside his cabinet, calling on the bolivian people and social groups to mobilise against the attempted coup. the president and vice president have also greeted supporters in the plaza murillo after police retook control. the public prosecutor's office says it's to launch a criminal investigation against a top general — juanjose zuniga and others for leading the insurrection.

5:11 am
the u—turn helps restore calm in the country. the un's humanitarian chief has warned that an all—out war between israel and hezbollah in lebanon would be potentially apocalyptic. martin griffiths described lebanon as "the flashpoint beyond all flashpoints", as a conflict there could engulf the entire region. last week the israeli military said plans for a lebanon offensive were approved and validated, prompting warnings from hezbollah, which is backed by iran. i think it is the flashpoint beyond all flashpoint and the other lebanon in particular and talking to my colleagues in jerusalem and beirut about the prospects for what may happen there, it is beyond planning. it is potentially apocalyptic. mr griffith's comments came as the israeli defence minister, yoav gallant, continues his visit to washington. mr gallant has said that
5:12 am
the intense phase of fighting in gaza is over and israel is set to shift its forces towards the border with lebanon after increasing skirmishes with hezbollah militants. officials in washington hope that a ceasefire in gaza could lead to a reduction in tension over lebanon as well. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.
5:13 am
the us supreme court has confirmed that its opinion on a major abortion rights case has been accidentally posted online before it was due to be released. in the document, the court appears set to dismiss a case brought by the state of idaho which challenges whether pregnant women can get
5:14 am
an emergency abortion. the ruling seems to back president biden's administration which says idaho — where a near—total abortion ban is in place — is breaching federal law by not providing abortion care to women whose health is in danger. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal explains. it is astonishing first of all the business happened and that the business happened and that the supreme court posted this ruling before it is due to be published and they have confirmed to the bbc that it inadvertently posted this document online. we have not unable to see it yet, i stress, or verified, unable to see it yet, i stress, orverified, but unable to see it yet, i stress, or verified, but it was a obtained by bloomberg law before being removed from the website. but this case in a nutshell, it essentially asks the question, can pregnant women in a state of idaho get an emergency abortion, get stabilising treatment? idaho
5:15 am
currently has this new total abortion ban. president biden's administration says that idaho is ignoring a federal law which allows abortion as a form of healthcare for women who need them. this federal law is called emtla which is the case of the supreme court is looking at. the by administration says the federal law outdoes the state law and the way it should work. but in this document as i say we have not been able to verify it or see it, it appears that the supreme court is set to agree with president biden's administration that women should be able to receive an emergency abortion and medical care, but i want to stress that the ruling has not come, the metres is a general we are working waiting on before the supreme court finishes up this term and it would be a major
5:16 am
ruling, it would come two years since the same supreme court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion. nomia iqbal in washington. in less than 24 hours, president biden and former president donald trump will take to the stage in atlanta for the first presidential debate of the 2024 election. the highly—anticipated debate is a chance for both candidates to address issues that have plagued their campaigns so far. this will be the first debate since mr trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in his new york criminal trial. he is also awaiting trial in three other criminal cases, one of which is in the state of georgia where the debate is being held. president biden, under increasing scrutiny about his age and frustrations from the left flank of his party, is coming off the back of his son's recent gun trial conviction.
5:17 am
bloomberg's washington bureau chief peggy collins and senior axios contributor margaret talev, told us more about what we could expect from this debate. i think they are going to try to cut through with some policy issues, especially on the economy and border security as you were just mentioning. i think the danger is it devolves into a back and forth between don't pick him, pick me, don't pick him, pick me and that will as margaret was saying potentially not draw in more voters that might be on the fence, in terms of being able to sway at all. there are some potential to hear that offer the past. there are different rules to the debate, the mic is not supposed to be on for the person whose turn it is not to talk. you do not have the same audience dynamic, there is no studio audience of voters
5:18 am
there, it will come down to whether to some extent the moderators can manage the flow of these questions, control the candidates, that could be very important, there is also a lot of history, remember the debates are happening before — either one of these two gentlemen has formally become the nominee for their party. well that set a new precedent? is that how all presidential debates will be going forward, voters start voting earlier in the process, is thisjust a continuation of the permanent campaign? and these are two rivals who have a lot of questions that voters want them to answer about themselves, notjust attack the other and talk about the past. we will be across the television debate later on bbc news as well. junior doctors in england will begin a five—day strike injust underan hour in their long—running pay dispute with the government. it will be the 11th walkout since march last year. nhs england has warned of major disruption with the warmer weather leading to additional

and humid air back out to the near continent. this is the cold front — barely anything on it as it reaches southern and eastern england. but it will bring a change to the air temperature. plenty of sunshine here, but windy with showers or long spells of rain for north—west england, north wales, northern ireland and into scotland. so temperatures here much lower than of late. highs of 24 to 25 degrees across the southeast. but warmer along north sea coasts, as we've lost the onshore breeze. but it will be a very blustery end to the day for thursday. gales across the far west of scotland, far north of northern ireland, showers or longer spells of rain, whereas i think as we head through thursday nights across much of england and wales, it should be largely dry with some clear spells. lighter winds the further south that you are. but it will be a cooler night to come for all, with temperatures 10 to around 12 degrees. so as we head into friday, then, we see that area of low pressure pulling away from the north of the uk, but it will take its time. it stays quite windy, blustery, with outbreaks of rain across scotland, whereas for england and wales, closer to a ridge of high pressure. so the further north that you are, it will be windier with showers
