9:04 pm
thousands, we will be there tomorrow on bbc news giving you all the build—up. i spoke to the chief of the uk policing here in the german capital in the last couple of hours, chief constable mark roberts. a few days ago, he said, maybe 20 30,000 they were expecting. but looking at these carjourneys, the extra flights that have been put on, he says it could be close to 50,000. that is going to challenge them in a different way because the other cities england have been playing in, they have had their supporters in vast numbers and they have been fairly small and contained. they know where the fans have been heading. but berlin is a much bigger place. a few very minor flashpoints over the last 24 hours. nothing serious, nothing the german police have been getting too worried about. but british police and of course german police, they have upped their numbers for this final tomorrow
9:05 pm
evening here in berlin. and everybody is keeping fingers crossed thatjust everybody is keeping fingers crossed that just as everybody is keeping fingers crossed thatjust as it has been passing peacefully and good—naturedly over the past couple of days, they hope that continues and they hope everybody enjoys the match no matter what the result. filling everybody enjoys the match no matter what the result.— what the result. olly foster in berlin. what the result. olly foster in berlin- many _ what the result. olly foster in berlin. many england - what the result. olly foster in berlin. many england fans - what the result. olly foster in berlin. many england fans are what the result. olly foster in i berlin. many england fans are on epic road trips to get to germany to be part of the celebrations. our reporter harry lowe is amongst them. we have arrived in the small german town of beckham, no relation to the former england captain david. you can probably see the autobahn behind me and the sun is about to set, 13.5 hours after i let my flat in north—west london this morning and 12.5 hours after we set off from south london. we have had a very long journey, south london. we have had a very longjourney, it south london. we have had a very long journey, it has been won with some delays, politically around the folkestone area when we took the eurotunnel from folkestone to calais late this morning. we were held up, there were delays between the english border control and french border control. we understand the reason for that is because the
9:06 pm
french border forces have reason for that is because the french borderforces have introduced a new passport checking system and that held people up. there is no question there are loads and loads of fans. you just heard the head of the german policing in berlin thinks as many as 50,000 could make their way there. let me tell you, many of the people travelling along with us so far today are travelling without tickets, so we are lucky enough we have tickets in our group, but many more fans are travelling without a ticket. we have seen some very interesting scenes along the autobahn already. we saw a remaster bus travelling alongside the inside lane earlier. i suspect it has gone a bit awry. we also saw a minibus with english number plates broken down. we saw a number of broken down vehicles on ourjourney here. we have not succumbed to that fate so far. but it is clear when you drive along the road and you stop off quite how many people are also making this journey and the reason they are doing it is because the
9:07 pm
flights are just so incredibly expensive. there have not been direct flights to berlin since england won that game against the netherlands in the semifinal on wednesday night and people have tried to find any means possible to get across. that might be buses, flying to destinations in poland, in some of the other neighbouring countries. the netherlands is another option. some of the flights i saw involve changing in places like torquay —— turkey and majorca and people will not want to do that with the high cost involved. that is harry on his road trip and the view from england's point of view. now to spain. our reporter is in barcelona. i can say it is pretty quiet where i am now come in the city centre at barcelona, but that will change in the next few hours. for those who have not been as lucky as our previous guest, there are plenty of watching party is being organised across the country. one of them is here in barcelona. we cannot see the screen yet, but we are promised by
9:08 pm
local authorities the screen will be here tomorrow afternoon. so everyone, the thousands of people expected here will be able to watch that game together. people here are excited, they are hopeful as well. spain has had a tough competition, but in a good way, people praising their football. but in a good way, people praising theirfootball. so but in a good way, people praising their football. so they got rid of italy, france, germany. so they say, england is next, we can make it happen. england is next, we can make it ha en, , england is next, we can make it ha..en_ y england is next, we can make it hauen. y. england is next, we can make it hauen. , happen. maybe they are pinning their ho es on happen. maybe they are pinning their hepes on their _ happen. maybe they are pinning their hopes on their teenage _ happen. maybe they are pinning their hopes on their teenage superstar - hopes on their teenage superstar lamine yamal who is celebrating his 70th birthday today. he is quite an amazing footballer for his age. yes. amazing footballer for his age. yes, definitel . amazing footballer for his age. yes, definitely. many _ amazing footballer for his age. yes, definitely. many here _ amazing footballer for his age. yes, definitely. many here in barcelona are already familiar with him because he plays for barcelona, he has had a very successful season with barcelona. but for many, he was the first, it was the first time they saw him win this week he scored that amazing goal against france. so
9:09 pm
he's kind of like the icon of the team right now. as you say today, turning 17, he is making headlines with that. a lot of newspapers today are showing pictures of lamine yamal from when he was a kid here alongside another football star lionel messi. he is the one everyone is talking about, hoping he will do a good performance tomorrow. and everyone kind of like likes his story, being very young, coming from kind of like a poor background, a poor neighbourhood outside barcelona. so he's kind of like the icon of this euro cup. here in barcelona and across spain and across europe right now. that report from barcelona. let's stay in spain and head to benidorm, which is rather popular with british tourists. our report is there. it is a bit weird because you are in spain, but there are probably a lot of england supporters around you. it
9:10 pm
certainly is a bit of a strange one. so as you say, we are in spain, in benidorm. about 500 kilometres south of barcelona. but i must say, we haven't heard much spanish since we got here. if you can see behind me, this is the hotel california, but they are a british pub. the crown. an entire strip full british tourists and british establishments. and now this time tomorrow, you can only imagine how packed it is going to be. so this streetjust he is going to closed off to traffic and all pubs, all clubs will need to serve everything in plastic glasses. so they are anticipating it might get a little bit rowdy. but it is all a bit exciting, isn't it? it does look fun with you. have you had the chance to talk to many of the english fans and are they optimistic? i english fans and are they optimistic?— english fans and are they optimistic? english fans and are they 0 timistic? ~' , ., , optimistic? i think there is a bit of a quiet _

9:13 pm
are expecting another 10 million pints to be sold tomorrow as people head to the clubs and bars to watch on big screens across the country. and certainly, as i was coming into work this morning, there were a lot of shops selling england merchandise, including england doughnuts and of course, all of the england shirts. i think similar things are happening in spain. we will of course have full coverage of the euro 2024 final tomorrow and bbc news. let's get that and the rest of the sport from the sports centre. let me guess, you are starting with football? strangely enough, yes! i kept you waiting, didn't i question about not long to go until the final of euro 2024, as we have heard plenty about. in less than 24 hours' time, it will be under way in berlin as spain and england aim to become champions. both teams have arrived

9:18 pm
completely neutral, as a newsreader. but i think it will go to penalties. classic answerfor a but i think it will go to penalties. classic answer for a newsreader! studio: thank you very much. it is of course the euro 2024 final tomorrow and we will have full coverage across bbc news. join us for that tomorrow. now we will focus on the other big news story today from the middle east. the hamas—run health ministry says at least 90 people were killed in an israeli air strike. the attack happened near the southern city of khan younis — in the al—masawi area of the city. almost 300 people were injured. these pictures show the moment of the blast. israel had designated this area a safe zone, urging palestinians to seek shelter there. bbc verify has analysed video of the attack aftermath and has confirmed it happened in an area marked on the israel defense forces' website as a humanitarian zone. israel said the target had been the hamas military chief, mohammed deif, and another of the group's commanders,
9:19 pm
describing them as two of the "masterminds" of the seventh of october attack. at a news conference a short time ago, israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says he's not sure whether the hamas leaders have been killed. translation: the state of israel, throu . h translation: the state of israel, through the _ translation: the state of israel, through the idf _ translation: the state of israel, through the idf and _ translation: the state of israel, through the idf and the _ translation: the state of israel, through the idf and the general i through the idf and the general forces, attacked gaza in order to target mohammed deif and his right—hand man, rafa salama. there is no proof as yet that they have been assassinated. whatever happens, we will reach the entire top level of hamas. we are talking about number two in the troops. they led the massacre of october the 7th and many other terrorist attacks. they have blood on their hands of many israelis. before benjamin netanyahu spoke, fergal keane sent this report from jerusalem. his report contains some disturbing
9:20 pm
details from the start. the israelis told them they would be safe here. today, they bombed al—mawasi, killing scores, wounding hundreds, saying they targeted senior hamas leaders hiding among civilians. we were sitting in the tent. nothing was happening. suddenly, a rocket fell. children were in pieces. look at us, world, have some feelings. at al—nasser hospital, the dead taken out, as the wounded keep arriving here. the evidence of how powerful bombs ripped through tents, through human beings. this is the man israel says was its main target. hamas military chief mohammed deif,
9:21 pm
accused of masterminding the october 7th attacks, which killed nearly 1,200 israelis and saw hundreds more taken hostage. his fate is still unclear. but israel's military leadership — here, meeting after the strike — would see killing a man responsible for so many israeli deaths as a significant victory. 0sama ahmad's father was one of those killed today. a rescue worker. "i only saw you this morning," he says. but no peace. and what faith here now in israel's promise of a safe zone? fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. hamas has denied its leaders were targeted in the attack, as our correspondent injerusalem, nick beake, explains. they are also saying the hamas run health ministry, that of these 90
9:22 pm
people, half were women and children. so if that is accurate, clearly, that paints a very different picture from what the israeli military were certainly briefing in the hours after this attack. we were hearing that this was a very specific strike. and the phrase being used was that it was only terrorists who were hit. and we heard from military sources here in israel earlier on saying there were bodyguards around the top hamas targets. but in terms of this being an operation that took place in what was described as an open space. however, there is that claim tonight from the hamas run health ministry that half of the 90 people they say who died were women and children. so thatis who died were women and children. so that is something i'm sure a lot of people will be looking at in great detail. we have seen lots of video today and within that, there were videos of certainly one video of a lifeless body, it would seem, a child, a desperate attempt to
9:23 pm
perform cpr. hard to say whether that was successful. you have the doctor also who told the bbc earlier today that of many of the casualties he had treated, women and children were among them. gaza's hamas—run civil defence agency says that in a separate incident, 17 people were killed in an israeli strike west of gaza city. the attack is said to have targeted a prayer hall in a camp for displaced people. the israeli military has not yet commented on the claim. the american broadcaster and sex—therapist doctor ruth has died at her home in manhattan. at the age of 96. ruth westheimer was born in germany. but as a girl, was sent abroad for safety. herjewish parents later died in the holocaust. starting in the 1980s, her ability to talk with good—natured candour about intimate sexual matters that had long been considered taboo made her a big hit on american radio and tv. five years ago, she spoke to the bbc�*s woman's hour programme on radio 4.
9:24 pm
she shared five tips for a healthy sex life. i'm doctor ruth westheimer. five tips for a happy, healthy sex life. first of all, make sure that you are not tired. older people, make sure that you have sex in the morning, when the testosterone level is highest. when she had a good night of sleep. make sure that you caress enough. that you hug enough. that you kiss enough. don't rush it. make sure that either before or after sex, you talk to each other. you tell each other how fortunate you are that you have each other in your lives. never, ever to retire, but to rewire. so there is no question that people's sex life is one of the most important aspects of their lives. good luck.
9:25 pm
doctor ruth, who has died at the age of 96. you can read more about her and get the rest of the day's news on the bbc news website or app. stay with us here on bbc news. the weather is on the way. hello. it's been a pretty cloudy start to the weekend for most parts of the uk. the thickest cloud running thin off the north sea, affecting east scotland and eastern england, where we've also seen some outbreaks of rain. but across the south and west of the country, that's where we've seen the best of breaks in the cloud, although we did have some very heavy downpours across some southern coastal counties. with the sunshine coming out across parts of southern england, we saw temperatures in the warmest spots reach the low 20s, which felt, i'm sure, quite nice. now, overnight tonight, the low pressure in the north sea stays put. it will continue to feed in these northerly winds,
9:26 pm
with further outbreaks of rain at times affecting eastern areas of both scotland and england. temperatures, for the most part, staying into double figures. and for sunday, i think, overall, with that area of low pressure continuing to feed in the cloud across the eastern side of the country, it's here where we'll see damp weather to start off the day. probably quite a lot of cloud elsewhere as well, but i suspect there will be some sunny spells for western scotland and the southern half of both england and wales. where the sunshine comes out, temperatures will push on into the low 20s. it will feel quite nice. but for eastern areas of scotland, eastern england, particularly around those north sea coasts, those temperatures still very disappointing for this time of the year. and heading through monday and tuesday, the next area of low pressure slowly tracks across the uk from the atlantic. now, on monday, the rain really is limited to the south—west, so parts of wales and south—west england could have some heavy rain, maybe some thunderstorms mixed in with this, maybe some localised surface water flooding to watch out for. but away from that, there should be
9:27 pm
a fair amount of dry weather and those temperatures are a bit higher than they have been over recent days. we're up to 21 in glasgow. central and eastern england quite widely seeing temperatures into the low 20s. make the most of that relatively dry day because through tuesday, as the low pressure works into the north sea, the heaviest rain will be across the eastern side of the uk. probably the driest weather, through the afternoon, will start to move into northern ireland, wales and south—west england. temperatures — high teens to low 20s. quite close really to thejuly average for quite a few places. beyond that, it stays quite unsettled across the north—west of the uk, but further south, high pressure might give us a run of 3 or 4 days of dry and relatively pleasant weather before unsettled conditions return.
9:28 pm
9:29 pm

the uk national lead first football policing amongst some rather loud fans at the famous brandenburg gate in berlin. i think when we look over the past few tournaments, the behaviour of england fans has generally been pretty good, but this one we anticipate so many more fans to come, but on the whole i think the fan behaviour has been really good and we have not had the problems we might have had in tournaments gone by. we go back almost 20 years and the world cup in germany, hundreds of arrests, but a more central approach now and working with german counterparts? we had to say the fans have been behaving really well, they have been behaving really well, they have engaged, and there has been a competence security operation. we have an awful lot of english police officers working with federal police and the local police and they are
9:32 pm
very keen and happy for us to engage to try and de—escalate things. there is a big event to get out of the way, we have had a couple of minor incidents but really happy with the way it has gone. with 200,000 plus fans travelling and drinking a lot, there are few problems. i think you have to bear in mind there are different powers of arrest here, what we sometimes see here are ministers of arrest where someone is to take something relatively minor. in terms of serious offences we have not seen many sought to be concerned about. we have looked at the uefa league tables, but when you look at issues in stadiums, is england are right that the bottom. i think it is a positive picture which we should

9:35 pm
the bbc�*s louisa pilbeam says this is the first timejohn hunt, who is a bbc racing commentator, and his daughter amy have publicly addressed the tragedy. this was a shocking incident and this is the first time that we have heard from the family, from john hunt, from his daughter, amy. a reminder that this happened on tuesday evening and sparked a huge manhunt for the suspect and at a house in bushey in hertfordshire, three members of the family were found dead in their home. a shocking and unimaginable attack and this statement really does say how devastated the family are but as they say, they cannot even put into words their devastation. they have spoken of their grief and also of
9:36 pm
the fact they feel the kindness and the fact they feel the kindness and the support from the public and people who have been going to the home and to a local church to give that support and give their warm wishes. they have said that this has provided great comfort to us and we are very grateful. kyle clifford, a man who is 26, has been arrested. he has been arrested on three counts of murder, he is in police custody and actually in hospital at the moment, and this was such a shocking incident that the uk prime minister afterwards has said he will be looking into the laws governing crossbows as it is suspected that a crossbows as it is suspected that a crossbow was used in this attack. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the discovery of human remains in two suitcases at the clifton suspension bridge in bristol. the 34—year—old was detained by avon and somerset armed officers in the early hours of saturday morning. our correspondent simon jones has more. well, in the early hours of this morning, a manhunt which has lasted more than two days and brought
9:37 pm
police officers here to west london and also to bristol, came to an end. that's when officers arrested a 34—year—old man on suspicion of murder at bristol temple meads station. armed officers were involved in his detention. police say this is a fast—moving investigation. it began on wednesday and that's when the police received a call from a member of the public saying that a man was acting suspiciously on clifton suspension bridge in bristol. now the police arrived on the scene, they say within ten minutes, but the man by that stage had gone. but there were two suitcases that were found. and inside, the grim discovery of the human remains of two men. now the police say they believe they have identified those two men, but they are still trying to trace the members of their family to inform them. the investigation then shifted here to west london in shepherd's bush, where yesterday police made the discovery of further human remains in a flat
9:38 pm
in the area behind me. now the police say their investigations are continuing, but they believe the human remains from here are linked to those found in bristol. now, throughout the course of the day, we've seen a lot of police activity. in fact, this afternoon the police cordon has been extended. officers are carrying out searches of bins. they've also been searching some bushes near the flat where the human remains were discovered. so officers still trying to piece together what happened. they've also been speaking to members of the local community who remain in a state of shock. one woman told me she felt vulnerable. she didn't feel safe here any more, so that's partly to try to reassure people, and also partly for the police to make sure they're getting all the information they can from the public about what people may have seen over the past few days. so the search is very much continuing here. i understand now arrangements are being made to bring the suspect from bristol, where he was arrested here,
9:39 pm
to london for questioning. the police will have some time to carry out that question, but they will obviously want to provide answers for this local community, very much disbelieving what has happened on their doorstep. simonjones reporting. five more bodies have been found at a dumpsite in the kenyan capital, nairobi, a day after at least nine other mutilated bodies were discovered less than a hundred metres from a police station. the remains are reported to have been wrapped in bags, secured by nylon ropes and had visible marks of torture. the police watchdog is looking into police involvement in the deaths and has called for an immediate investigation to identify them. on friday, the authority said it was also investigating claims of abductions and unlawful arrests of demonstrators who disappeared after widespread anti—government protests last month. ajudge in the us has dismissed the manslaughter case against hollywood actor alec baldwin
9:40 pm
involving a fatal shooting on a film set in 2021. the judge ruled that the state withheld a key piece of evidence related to the ammunition that killed the cinematographer, halyna hutchins. the actor wept when the case was thrown out and he cannot be tried again. but he still faces civil lawsuits. gloria allred, the lawyer representing ms hutchins' family, criticised the decision to dismiss the case — and said alec baldwin should have the decency to say sorry. she held a news conference outside court. what's happened is cruel. by the way, i do hope that the district attorney's office in santa fe decides to appeal from the ruling yesterday to dismiss the case. i will say that even if they do decide to do that and are successful, it might be a right without a remedy because of double jeopardy applying.
9:41 pm
but i do think that it will be some vindication of the fact that this is not a case that should have been dismissed yesterday, that there were, as i said, perhaps less draconian options. for example, how about what if she wanted to declare a mistrial and set a new trial date, if the district attorney wanted to pursue it? or continue with this, but have sanctions in reference to what the prosecutors could present. but in any event, that didn't happen yesterday. and so the state never was able to obtain a full day in court. and that's the decision. and we need to respect it,

although we may not agree with it. the hamas—run health ministry says at least 90 people were killed in an israeli air strike. the attack happened near the southern city of khan younis — in the al—masawi area of the city. almost 300 people were injured. these pictures show the moment of the blast. israel had designated this area a safe zone, urging palestinians to seek shelter there. bbc verify has analysed video of the attack aftermath and has confirmed it happened in an area marked on the israel defense forces' website as a humanitarian zone. israel said the target had been the hamas military chief, mohammed deif, and another of the group's commanders, describing them as two of the "masterminds" of the seventh of october attack. early i spoke to the director of affairs in gaza, from unrwa and i

9:50 pm
following claims of gross misconduct towards former dance partner zara mcdermott. in a statement on instagram, graziano said he "deeply regrets" the events leading up to his departure and acknowledged that his "intense passion and determination to win might have affected my training regime". we had confirmation from the bbc a little earlier today that he would no longer be a part of the show. shortly after that, he released that statement on instagram. it is quite long. i'll bring you a few more snippets. as you said, he said he deeply regrets the events that led up to his departure, adding that his intense passion and determination to win may have affected his training routine. he says he felt it's best for the show if he steps away. he then goes on to say that while there are aspects of the story involving what he calls external influences that he can't talk about at the moment. "i remain committed," he says, "to being strong for my
9:51 pm
family and friends." he's been part of the show. he's been a professional dancer on the show since 2018, he's been partnered with the likes ofjudi love and then back in 2022 with kym marsh, he reached the quarter final. and then, as you mentioned last year in the competition, he was partnered with the broadcaster and documentary maker zara mcdermott. so what have the bbc had to say? i know as you mentioned, they did release a statement. they did. yeah. so they have said, "we can confirm that graziano di prima is no longer a part of the line—up of professional dancers for the upcoming series of strictly come dancing." the corporation says, "while we would never comment on individual cases, it is well known that the bbc has established and robust duty of care procedures" and it says that if issues are raised, we will always take them seriously and act swiftly as appropriate. nickjohnson reporting there. in

reliance industries chairman, mukesh ambani, is tying the knot with radhika merchant, the daughter of pharmaceutical tycoons. it is the combination of a string of pre—wedding parties that the family have hosted since march. it featured performances by pop stars including rihanna and justin bieber. the fact it is still not yet over, you still have festivities today and tomorrow, it is going to be cut finely tomorrow. the ceremony lasts per friday, saturday and sunday and yesterday was the pre—wedding bash and today is the actual ceremony which will happen and you will have a galaxy of stars, international
9:54 pm
attendees, the cream of the crop he will be in attendance, notjust today but tomorrow as well, and these three days will finally cap pre—wedding festivities which started in march which began with a huge number of attendees in a refinery town which was followed by a luxury cruise in italy and clearly this is a celebration which many call the mother of all weddings and it has certainly left its mark and more important than anything else is the sure display of money and wealth. he is aged's richest person, possibly six richest person in the world and his personal wealth is apparently 122 billion and they have
9:55 pm
done a fair bit of charity work. and before this wedding actually happened, earlierthis before this wedding actually happened, earlier this month they conducted weddings for 54 couples by itself. you can get more on those wedding celebrations, along with the rest of the news on the bbc news website or app. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. it's been a pretty cloudy start to the weekend for most parts of the uk. the thickest cloud running in off the north sea, affecting east scotland and eastern england, where we've also seen some outbreaks of rain. but across the south and west of the country, that's where we've seen the best of breaks in the cloud, although we did have some very heavy downpours across some southern coastal counties with the sunshine coming out across parts of southern england.
9:56 pm
we saw temperatures in the warmest spots reach the low 20s, which felt, i'm sure, quite nice. now, overnight tonight, the low pressure in the north sea stays put. it will continue to feed in these northerly winds, with further outbreaks of rain at times affecting eastern areas of both scotland and england. temperatures for the most part staying into double figures. and for sunday, i think, overall, with that area of low pressure continuing to feed in the cloud across the eastern side of the country, it's here where we'll see damp weather to start off the day. probably quite a lot of cloud elsewhere as well, but i suspect there will be some sunny spells for western scotland and the southern half of both england and wales. where the sunshine comes out, temperatures will push on into the low 20s. it will feel quite nice, but for eastern areas of scotland, eastern england, particularly around those north sea coasts, those temperatures still very disappointing for this time of the year. and heading through monday and tuesday, the next area of low pressure slowly tracks across the uk from the atlantic. now, on monday, the rain really is limited to the southwest,
9:57 pm
so parts of wales and southwest england could have some heavy rain, maybe some thunderstorms mixed in with this, maybe some localised surface water flooding to watch out for. but away from that there should be a fair amount of dry weather and those temperatures are a bit higher than they have been over recent days. we're up to 21 in glasgow, central and eastern england quite widely, seeing temperatures into the low 20s. make the most of that relatively dry day because through tuesday, as the low pressure works into the north sea, the heaviest rain will be across the eastern side of the uk. probably the driest weather through the afternoon will start to move into northern ireland, wales and southwest england. temperatures high, teens to low 20s. quite close really to thejuly average for quite a few places. beyond that, it stays quite unsettled across the northwest of the uk, but further south, high pressure might give us a run of three or four days of dry and relatively pleasant weather before unsettled conditions return.
