he took the momentum before fritz fought back to force a decider. ultimately musetti got the job done. 6-1 ultimately musetti got the job done. 6—1 in the fifth to reach his first grand slam semifinal. the other semifinal on friday will be between carlos alcaraz and medvedev for the walls in the women's draw the last four line—up is complete with a 2022 champion rybakina sealing her place with ending and inspired run for svitolina alina. her superiority showed as she won comfortably in straight sets. her opponent and thursday semifinal will be the check player who had all the answers for the big hitting 0stapenko. both this women former french champion but wimbledon is special to herformer coach who died on 2017 famously won this title in 1991. and so she is

and that's all the sport for now. for the second time since the start of the conflict, civilians in gaza city are being told to leave their homes and head south. the israeli army says it has been dropping thousands of leaflets telling more than a quarter of a million people that gaza city remains a dangerous combat zone and they should leave. in southern gaza, at least 29 palestinians have been killed and dozens more wounded in an israeli air strike on a camp for displaced people outside a school. gaza's hamas—run health ministry said the strike had hit next to the gate of a school east of the city of khan younis. a warning, fergal keane's report has distressing images. the women of the house of abu abed. they have lost a brother. mohammed was 27, trained to teach special needs children, and about to be married.

translation: he was going out to call his fiancee. _ next week, the borders will open and he could go see her. hejoked, "goodbye, gaza, goodbye. " they were playing football nearby when the missile struck. _ they ran to help. the israeli military says it was targeting a hamas member allegedly involved in the october 7th massacres. in the process, they killed 29 people, many of them women and children. dozens more were wounded. they've been bombed, displaced — from one fragile refuge to another. there are the wounds of war.

and there is what they have seen and what cannot be unremembered. they are connected by ties of family and of suffering. they lean in to stop the child struggling as shrapnel is removed from his head. pure chance the direction of the blast saved this infant. and this young man whose mother is pushed beyond endurance. "this is enough," she says. "this is enough. " the israel defence forces say they're reviewing the circumstances of the airstrike. in al—awda, the mortuaries are crowded, but not all of the dead here are named.

on this shroud, the words say simply "a woman". on a day when all paths seem to lead to the graves. fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. 0ur gaza correspondent rushdi abualouf is currently in istanbul — he told us more about this latest leaflet drop. yeah, i think this is the biggest sort of evacuation order to gaza city. gaza city is the biggest city, where about 900,000 or close to a million people live there, but back in october the 12th, most of the people were left to the south, and i was among those people who took this journey. it seems a quarter of a million people who city in the north, some of them, they said "we have learned a lesson and we're not going to repeat the same mistake because there is no such a place

called a safe zone". one person who i called this morning was displaced within gaza city five or six times and said, "what is the point of going to the south? "yesterday, they have killed 30 people in a school and what is called a safe zone". he said, "i would stay in his house, and i would prefer to die in dignity in my house rather than be displaced in a tent in a crowded area in the north". this is widely seen this order, as a pressure for hamas, and some of the people who i spoke to in gaza, they said it doesn't seem there is a clear target for this operation. tanks have been moving from one street to another, they have bombed some places that are being bombed five or six times before, and they believe that the whole issue about the operation in gaza city is related to the ongoing negotiation going on today in doha, but some localjournalists waiting

at the checkpoint since this morning, they monitor that some of the families, maybe ten or 15 families, they already left gaza city to the south, but the majority of the quarter of a million people, they are remaining in gaza city. let's now get the perspective of a country that has a central strategic role in this ongoing war, joining me is egypt's former assistant foreign minister and director of the israeli affairs department, hussein haridy. welcome to the context. in the past year country offered proposals to try and get a cease—fire agreed. what is the latest proposal that you would put forward and why do you think they continue to be stalled? as a matter fact, think they continue to be stalled? as a matterfact, it's not proposal its negotiation effort that they

have been going on now for the last almost two months for the egypt, qatar and america and have been doing their best to bring hamas and israel to accept a pause in the fighting, according to the plan that the united states presidentjoe biden outlined last may 31st. as you may recall this approach consists of three phases. and now i guess he talks are really focusing on starting to implement the first phase that theoretically is supposed to ask for six weeks for the and will see the release of some who israelis who have dual citizenship,

the release of them and then start of talks between hamas and israel on cease—fire. just to clarify what you said, you are saying that there are going to be some releases in the next few days according to your sources? well, cairo will host tomorrow further talks. let's hope that this round of talks will bear fruit for them in other words, that both warring parties hamas and israel will except to start implementing the first days, otherwise israeli operations would continue. and of course in gaza. the situation also in seven to eight

southern lebanon could turn into a major military confrontation between the israeli defence forces, the israeli army and egypt is trying really hard with the american administration and security counsel with the qatari authorities in order to prevent another war front in southern lebanon. let's wait until tomorrow. ., , southern lebanon. let's wait until tomorrow— southern lebanon. let's wait until tomorrow. ., , ., . , tomorrow. people watching this will sa well, tomorrow. people watching this will say well. we've _ tomorrow. people watching this will say well, we've heard _ tomorrow. people watching this will say well, we've heard countless - say well, we've heard countless people say that there's going to be a cease—fire, that might be a breakthrough. and yet we saw those distressing images, people continue to be killed in gaza. hostages are still being held. what makes you think that the talks urination is going to host are going to lead to a breakthrough? i5 going to host are going to lead to a

breakthrough? is a going to host are going to lead to a breakthrough?— breakthrough? is a matter fact, i don't believe _ breakthrough? is a matter fact, i don't believe that _ breakthrough? is a matter fact, i don't believe that the _ breakthrough? is a matter fact, i don't believe that the prospects. breakthrough? is a matter fact, i l don't believe that the prospects of reaching an agreement on a permanent cease—fire in gaza, deppe prospects have rise with him on the contrary, if there would be in agreement between hamas and israel, i guess it would be a partial agreement. that is to say that only the first stage on this three stage approach of president biden last may. i'm neither optimistic or pessimistic. i keep my fingers crossed. i'm not expecting a breakthrough in the talks anytime soon now. the prime minister netanyahu is heading for washington, is expected to address a joint session of the united states congress onjuly joint session of the united states congress on july 24. joint session of the united states congress onjuly 24. i guess this is his main concern. another important concern on his mind is the release

of the hostages. and no more. i’d of the hostages. and no more. i'd like to ask you one of the question before we let you go. won a lot of people have asked which is why boat egypt except palestinian refugees into their country? there are hundreds of thousands of palestinians who need care, who need food, who need aid for that one solution might be that your country lets them in. solution might be that your country lets them im— lets them in. well, we let in palestinians... _ lets them in. well, we let in palestinians... but - lets them in. well, we let in palestinians... but only - lets them in. well, we let in - palestinians... but only wounded palestinians _ palestinians. .. but only wounded palestinians for— palestinians... but only wounded palestinians for w _ palestinians... but only wounded palestinians for w not _ palestinians... but only wounded palestinians for w not letting - palestinians for w not letting people have refugee status. there are hundreds of thousands of people who are looking for shelter and many say, why boat egypt except them? because in this case we would be doing the work of israel. israel ultimately wants to push the palestinians not only out of gaza

but also out of the west bank. in other words, a repeat of where 750,000 palestinians left their homes and they never returned to their homes for does not want to repeat for the mr haridy, there are so many people who are living in the worst possible conditions and so there are people who will say yes, i take your point about the wider issues but for now, just so that people can survive, this would be a solution. it's not the responsibility of egypt. as a matter fact these people, the helpless civilian abyssinians are victims of the ongoing israeli war that has been going on for the last nine months. god only knows when the israelis will stop bombarding those helpless palestinian civilians.

egypt is working hard with the american administration, qatar, israeli government, with hamas in order to stop this war. and as quickly as possible. it's not the responsibility of egypt for them is the responsibility of israel. hussein haridy, thank you very much for sharing your perspective on the show. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

the world's most famous ogre is returning to the big screen. dreamworks animation announced on x that shrek 5 will be released onjuly 1, 2026 — that's 25 years after the original blockbuster film hit the cinemas. and it will feature the same all—star cast of mike myers, cameron diaz, and eddie murphy.

joining me with more on this is ammonne warmann, the contributing editor of british film magazine, empire. welcome to the context. shrek five, haven't we had enough? aha, welcome to the context. shrek five, haven't we had enough?— haven't we had enough? a couple of ears auo haven't we had enough? a couple of years ago i — haven't we had enough? a couple of years ago i would've _ haven't we had enough? a couple of years ago i would've said _ haven't we had enough? a couple of years ago i would've said yes. - haven't we had enough? a couple of years ago i would've said yes. but i years ago i would've said yes. but last year a really great movie called buzzer boots was released with obviously puts a booth is a from the tracks, dedicated on that character. it was one of my favourite films of last year. it was exceptional. it got nominated for an oscar. and all the actives that we 0scar. and all the actives that we carry that momentum and i am generally excited for shrek five. i would never say it as recently as a year ago. would never say it as recently as a ear auo. ., would never say it as recently as a ear ao. ., i. would never say it as recently as a earauo. ., . , , year ago. you lost your credibility alread . i year ago. you lost your credibility already- i saw _ year ago. you lost your credibility already. i saw the _ year ago. you lost your credibility already. i saw the first, _ year ago. you lost your credibility already. i saw the first, it - year ago. you lost your credibility already. i saw the first, it wasn'tl already. i saw the first, it wasn't bad. how many are those, other two?

degree. which is why puss in boots was able to venture into certain themes where it might not have been able to do that. it's ok to ptsd, talking about living your best life and living it well. it's getting into dark stuff by also giving you the fun stuff so that kids can still watch and enjoy. shrek five can replicate that creative energy than i think we're going to be in for a good time. i think we're going to be in for a good time-— i think we're going to be in for a aood time. ~ ., , ., , i., ~ good time. what plot lies you think mi . ht good time. what plot lies you think might come — good time. what plot lies you think might come uo _ good time. what plot lies you think might come up in — good time. what plot lies you think might come up in the _ good time. what plot lies you think might come up in the fifth - good time. what plot lies you think might come up in the fifth edition? | might come up in the fifth edition? we've not run out of all possible combinations and permutations? clearly not. if they're making a fifth one. i do know. a very excited at the possibilities. puss in boots, at the possibilities. puss in boots, at the possibilities. puss in boots, at the end of the last film he returns to where shrek lives and he has gone through inexperience. it would be interesting to see what this new version of puss in boots,

how he interacts with the team. i'm just really excited to see eddie murphy, mike myers, cameron deas, it's been 16 years since they've got together to make the trek film. i hope that creative team moves the characters along and proves that they have something interesting to say, more than itjust being a catch. say, more than it 'ust being a catch. ,, , , , say, more than it 'ust being a catch. ,, , ,, , catch. slightly puss n boots obsessed — catch. slightly puss n boots obsessed with _ catch. slightly puss n boots obsessed with up _ catch. slightly puss n boots obsessed with up thank - catch. slightly puss n boots obsessed with up thank you catch. slightly puss n boots - obsessed with up thank you very catch. slightly puss n boots _ obsessed with up thank you very much for joining forjoining us. in the euros, it's halftime in the semi final between netherlands and england in dortmund. the winner will play spain for the title in berlin on sunday and, it's been a bit of a belter. current score is 1—1 and joe inwood is watching the game in south london. let's cross now tojoe inwood who's at a fan zone in brixton. i'm sad that the match isn't happening while i speak to you. every time you are alive on air when the match is going on in england seem to score. i

only slowly easing down as we go through into thursday morning. a weak weather front across northern england, north midlands, north wales will sit in place by the morning, rain or drizzle here. some clear skies to the north, west and the south of the country, and a fresher start compared with what we saw on wednesday. now here's that weather front again that's across some central parts of england and wales for thursday. it's where the cloudiest conditions will be, the dampest weather. rain and drizzle coming and going, some heavier bursts of rain breaking out through the day. does mean, though, brighter day for scotland and northern ireland, drier for many, although still a stiff breeze and some outbreaks of rain close to eastern coasts. brightest of all, though, southern counties of england and wales. here, we'll see some sunshine throughout the day, lighter winds than on wednesday. it will feel warmer. we could see temperatures a bit more widely into the low 20s. but away from that, the midlands northwards, a chilly day, especially where the clouds in place. for some, barely getting into the mid—teens as we go through the afternoon. and that chillier air will be pushing its way southwards as we go through the night and into friday morning. with it, cloud, patchy rain pushes through wales,

the midlands, towards the south. at the same time, outbreaks of rain working into the english channel. so a slightly milder night here again, but temperatures in rural parts of scotland, northern ireland well down into mid—single figures. so here's the chart for friday. a ridge of high pressure trying to build in, that weatherfront working its way southwards. and around it, to the north of it, we're taking that chillier air further and further south. that weather front, though, could combine forces with a weather system in the near continent, bringing some persistent, heavy and thundery rain here. close call for southern counties of england and wales — could be a wet day for some here. but away from that, a few showers, varying amounts of cloud, a bit of sunshine at times, best of which in the west, a chilly wind down those eastern coasts, where temperatures will struggle to reach 14—15 celsius. highest of the temperatures, probably western scotland — glasgow up to around 20 celsius. as for the weekend, it stays cool to begin with — windy, potentially wet across some eastern coasts, brightest in the west. take care.
