as well, but we will do it in a proper way and make sure that the sums add up. israel says it's intercepted a missile launched from yemen after the israeli air force carried out a series of strikes in the country. bangladesh's top court scraps most of the quotas on governmentjobs, which triggered nationwide riots. and seconds away from victory — south sudan's basketball team just miss out on an upset win against the united states. hello, i'm martine croxall. we start here in the uk, where the chancellor rachel reeves says the government will "make sure the sums add up" before agreeing to fund a recommended 5.5% pay increase to teachers and nhs staff. the above—inflation rise has been recommended by the independent pay review bodies. here's our political correspondent tony bonsignore.

it's a decision that will affect millions of teachers and nhs workers — whether to accept the independent recommendation of pay review bodies and give them a pay rise of 5.5%, or offer a more modest increase and risk disappointing millions of labour voters, as well as potentially more industrial action. today, in herfirst big interview since the election, rachel reeves dropped a big hint that above—inflation rises for public sector workers are on the way. we also know that there is a cost to not settling, a cost of further industrial action, a cost in terms of the challenge that we face in recruiting and retaining doctors and nurses and teachers as well. but we'll do it in a proper way and make sure that the sums add up. but those sums, she said, had to take into account the economy the new government had inherited.

well, we've also seen just this week the government borrowing numbers, which are significantly higher than people had anticipated. and that goes to the real, true extent of the public finances and the public spending pressures. we also saw labour market data — unemployment up, economic inactivity up. so i really don't buy this idea that somehow we've been handed a golden inheritance. that claim has angered the conservatives, still reeling from their election defeat. they claim it's merely labour preparing the ground for future tax rises. what is absolute nonsense is this business of the worst economic inheritance since the second world wan _ i mean, you only need to look at the last time a government changed hands between parties in 2010. compared to then, inflation is nearly half what it was. we then we had markets collapsing now. we have the fastest growth in the g7. we have unemployment nearly half what it was then. it's a very transformed picture.

economists, though, say that higher pay for nhs workers and teachers will have an impact. 5.5% pay rises for millionsi of workers is above what's been budgeted for. it's above what's built - into existing spending plans. so it leaves the treasury having to find several billion pounds i from somewhere to make up the gap. now, that would probably mean some combination of high taxes _ or higher borrowing, _ or perhaps cuts to something else, but it wouldn't be an easy decision to make for the treasury. - rachel reeves has promised that decisions on public sector pay will be made before mps rise for the summer recess at the end of this month. but it's clear that even tougher decisions lie ahead in the autumn. tony bonsignore, bbc news. the houthi movement in yemen says it has targeted the israeli resort of eilat with multiple ballistic missiles. on saturday israel struck the yemeni port of hodeidah, which the houthis say killed six people and wounded dozens.

much harderfor the houthis to use hodeidah ports to import iranian supplies. it is around 1,700 kilometres — one of the longest air raids from israel on record. there is one attack earlier against iran in which israeli planes launched missiles from somewhere short of iran. got to go back to 1981, when the israelis attacked iraq. an attack on the headquarters in 1985. this is up there with some of the oldest israeli air raids of our times, designed to send a message to iran, the houthis' financial backer, to try and rein in the houthis, something that the americans the british have been trying to do for some time, some months, without obvious signs of success. the

houthis have carried on their operations, launching an attack against another vessel in the red sea. it was sorted, it seems, by the americans. yet another missile directed at eilat. only as far as the israelis are saying, only evidence of perhaps one or two ballistic missiles intercepted well off the coast. so, this isjust ballistic missiles intercepted well off the coast. so, this is just the latest in a long line of houthi attacks. . ., ., ., ~ attacks. paul, for the moment, thank ou ve attacks. paul, for the moment, thank you very much- _ attacks. paul, for the moment, thank you very much. paul— attacks. paul, for the moment, thank you very much. paul adams _ attacks. paul, for the moment, thank you very much. paul adams in - you very much. paul adams in jerusalem. bangladesh's supreme court has today scrapped most of the governmentjob quotas that had triggered student—led protests in which more than 150 people were killed over the past few days. a nationwide curfew is still in place and the military continues to be deployed to control the situation. our south asia correspondent yogita limaye gave us the latest update. at least one group of students that they won't stop protesting until

the government issues a notice that reflects their demand. a ministerfrom the bangladeshi government speaking to the police it's difficult to say at the moment. the government issues a notice that reflects their demands. bengali service a short while ago has said they will implement the ruling of the supreme court as early as tuesday. as you said, today and monday are holidays and monday are holidays in bangladesh, so the earliest they can do that is tuesday. but very little information is trickling in from bangladesh at the moment. there is a near communication blackout, an internet shutdown and even trying to make regular phone calls is extremely difficult, the line is patchy. texts are also not really going through. it's very difficult to understand what people are saying.

text messages are also not really going through. on the streets, there are armoured vehicles, soldiers, the military deployed to control the situation, there are helicopters surveilling the situation from the air. as far as we know today, they have not been any significant incidents of violence, but given all of that and the nationwide curfew, bangladesh is using all of its might to bring the situation under control. with me is our south asia editor ethirajan anbarasan. how significant is it that most of thesejob quotas how significant is it that most of these job quotas have now been scrapped? it these job quotas have now been scra ed? , , these job quotas have now been scraued? , , , scrapped? it is very significant in terms of the _ scrapped? it is very significant in terms of the perspective - scrapped? it is very significant in terms of the perspective of - scrapped? it is very significant in terms of the perspective of the l terms of the perspective of the student protesters, because they have been demanding this abolishment. it was reinstated by a code on the last month that trigger the protests. the argument has been it was favouring those who belong to the ruling families close to the current prime minister. they said it was discriminatory, and that led to

the protests. 90 seat —— 93% is open, but has gone beyond that. now the student leaders are saying they need justice for those who were killed in the protests. nearly 140 people, according to hospitals, died in the clashes, and there are also demanding a restoration of internet and cellular facilities. demanding a restoration of internet and cellularfacilities. as we speak, there is a company internet shut down in bangladesh. this would cut off from the rest of the world. what people saw in the last one week was violent clashes and police fighting, live rounds and tear gas. the protesters were throwing stones. it has brought in various societies into more of an antigovernment process. into more of an antigovernment rocess. ~ ., ., ~ , into more of an antigovernment rocess. ., ., ~ , ., into more of an antigovernment rocess. ~ ., ., ~ , ., , process. we are not likely to see this following _ process. we are not likely to see this following completely - process. we are not likely to see this following completely at? - process. we are not likely to see | this following completely at? the student this following completely at? tue: student leaders are now saying they

will not stop the protests until all demands are met. what this is done to the government is given a clear wake—up call to what is happening the past few years. the government of the prime minister is accused of killing, human rights abuses. there's a lot of pent—up anger on the people in bangladesh, and the student protests where the tip of the iceberg. the cost of living has been escalating and the government already went to the imf for a bailout loan last year. so people are angry with the government for number of reasons and the student protests gave an impetus for this, but the number of killings, that galvanise people posting a real challenge for ms hasina. ethira'an anbarasan. — challenge for ms hasina. ethira'an anbarasan, thankd challenge for ms hasina. ethira'an anbarasan, thank you i challenge for ms hasina. ethira'an anbarasan, thank you very �* challenge for ms hasina. ethirajan anbarasan, thank you very much. | russia says it has scrambled fighter jets to prevent two us strategic bomber planes from violating its border over the barents sea in the arctic.

it said that in response the americans adjusted their flight course, making a u—turn, and not crossing the frontier. the us military carry out routine flights over international waters, but correspondents say moscow has lately been responding more aggressively. patrick bury, a former nato analyst and senior associate professor at the university of bath, gave us this analysis. i think this is a more interesting one in terms of the route that these b—52 bombers have taken, b—52 bombers have taken. it's important to note that on flights like these, they're going to be much more likely to be reconnaissance, and testing the air defences and seeing the response times

of how the russians respond to not their intrusion, but their flight coming closer to their border, and less likely to be a nuclear capable. that's the way these flights often go. but they came in through norway, so if you think about the very tip of, coming towards the kola peninsula, they came in through norway and then into finnish, which is a new nato member state, so they can fly into their airspace now and came right up close to the russian border. to the russian border — close enough, we think, to even look in and see potentially some of where the russian keep some of their heavy bombers and reconnaissance, some of which have been bombing ukraine, by the way, and then turned back around out into the north, into the bering sea and then back west and home. so look, these flights go on.

the prominent senator, joe manchin has become the latest democrat to call forjoe biden to drop out of the presidential race. manchin said he wanted the president to focus only on his remaining time in office saying he would leave the oval office with an unmatched legacy. president biden�*s campaign team insist he will still run for re—election — he is due back on the campaign trail next week after being forced to isolate with covid. here'sjoe manchin speaking with abc news. he will go down with a legacy, unlike many people, as one of the finest and truly a patriot american. so, with that, i come with a heavy heart to think the time has come for him to pass the torch to a new generation. let the process... crosstalk a healthy competition is what it's all about. we'll speak to our correspondent in washington shortly. first though — donald trump has told a campaign rally in michigan that he is not a threat to democracy, saying he took a bullet for democracy — a reference to the failed assassination attempt against him last saturday. addressing thousands of republican supporters, mr trump said he was sure he'd win the presidential election in november. he repeatedly mocked joe biden,

saying the democratic party still did not know who its candidate would be in november due to concerns over the president's health. our correspondent jenny kumah reports. thousands turned out for this first rally since the shooting. security checks meant long waits, but many were determined to show their support. after what happened last week, i hadn't planned on attending a rally this year cos i've been to so many in the 2016 and 2020 election, but i'm here to show solidarity with trump — that we do stand behind him, and so long as he stays in the fight, we're going to stand behind him. oh, he's back. he's bigger and better than ever. no, no, we love him and i think he really, really, gelled the country, brought us together. # i know i'm free... a few days ago, after his near—death experience, donald trump called for unity in the country — yet, within minutes of speaking at the rally, he attacked his rival. but what they do is misinformation and disinformation, and they keep saying, "he's a threat to democracy." i'm saying, "what the hell did i do for democracy?

last week, i took a bullet for democracy." cheering. what did i do against democracy? it felt like a pop concert. the former president continued to sing the old songs — attacking the media, migrants, and joe biden. the crowd cheered. at this very moment, democrat party bosses are frantically trying to overthrow the results of their own party's primaries to dump crooked joe biden from the ballot. couldn't happen to a nicer guy. laughter. the republicans say their party is the most united it's been for decades, and they say that contrasts with the democrats as questions continue over the future ofjoe biden in the presidential race. nearly three dozen democrats have called for mr biden to withdraw. the president says he'll continue to campaign next week, after isolating with covid. he insists he's staying in the race to win it. jenny kumah, bbc news, michigan. ethirajan

for trump's security team. we are expecting the chief to be testifying on monday. as you say, trump seemed in the meantime very confident at that rally yesterday. i think this incident has really kind of galvanise his supporters with a new degree of fervor, particularly when you hear him compare as he did in that piece there, and his words, took a bullet for democracy while senior democrats are trying to overthrow their own leader. the challenge for the democrats is it's hard to argue with at the moment at a time when it is true when senior democrats are voicing concern about joe biden�*s candidacy. the democrats are voicing concern about joe biden's candidacy.— joe biden's candidacy. the week stick by and _ joe biden's candidacy. the week stick by and there _ joe biden's candidacy. the week stick by and there are _ joe biden's candidacy. the week stick by and there are a - joe biden's candidacy. the week stick by and there are a growing | stick by and there are a growing number of democrats saying this is a cop —— the weeks tick by —— this has to stop. cop -- the weeks tick by -- this has to sto -. ~ �* , cop -- the weeks tick by -- this has tosto. �* , . . to stop. we're seeing an increasing trickle of people _ to stop. we're seeing an increasing trickle of people coming _ to stop. we're seeing an increasing trickle of people coming out - trickle of people coming out publicly, more senators and senior

democrats saying he should step aside, pass the torch onto the next generation, but what's potentially more concerning an irritating for the president is the amount this is playing out privately. sources behind the scenes, whether that's aid to president himself, former speaker and former president nancy pelosi and barack obama. really trying to fight back out over the weekend, saying that he is still standing, that he is fighting on, so i think he is showing that he is digging in. he has been slightly out of the picture, isolating with covid in delaware, although his physicians say his conditions improved. he is hoping to get back on the trail next week and meet with the israeli prime minister. for now, he wants to show

he is really digging in.— he is really digging in. thank you very much- _ people on the spanish island of mallorca are to hold a protest this evening against the impact of record levels of tourism. locals say they're being priced out the housing market and that the environment is being damaged. spain has seen a number of demonstrations across different cities in recent weeks, with locals arguing they're being priced out of housing and that visitor numbers are damaging the local culture and environment. our europe correspondent, nick beake, sent this report from majorca. british tourists are throwing themselves into their summer spanish getaways, escaping the weather back home. the beaches of magaluf packed with record numbers. tourism is powering the national economy as the good times roll. down the road, the same sand... ..but a very different experience. sonia and son luca can't find anywhere to live. she says many homes are bought up

by foreign visitors or rented out to tourists at prices she can't afford. it's hard to get up every morning and start looking for a flat. the prices are higher every day. i stop people in the street and ask if they have anything, because the day is approaching when i will have to leave the apartment. i see me and my son homeless soon because there is absolutely nothing. as spain's tourist hotspots have grown and grown over the decades, the debate has raged as to weather the millions of visitors bring more problems than they do benefits. but this summer, it feels like something has changed. there's this new level of anger, with many locals saying that they've had enough. in barcelona a fortnight ago, locals squirted visitors with water pistols, one of a number of recent protests across spain. "get out of our streets" was the chant.

we can see the port and we can see how some days are arriving, like 12,000 of people at the same time to the city. back in mallorca, local activist perezjoan is organising a demonstration this weekend. he wants a limit on visitor numbers and rejects the claim that tourism brings great wealth for the locals. this is a fake argument because we see, like the last years is arriving more tourists than ever, more money than ever. but this money where it goes, is going to the people or is going only to some economic powers? and this is what we are seeing. yay! the green family from rotherham hope they're boosting the local economy. boost it and make the money to what it is for this sort of place. i it is, isn't it?

so, no, i don't see people travel around world don't they. - and that's what these places are for aren't they? - tourism, economy and all the rest. well, if no—one turned up, then there'd be no shops here. then no jobs will be. no wages will be no, no, so yeah. tourism has bounced back after covid, but record levels are creating new problems and provoking what could be an unprecedented backlash. nick beake, bbc news mallorca. nick beake, bbc news, mallorca. figures from the uk home office show more than 1,400 migrants crossed the channel to britain in the past week. 228 people were brought to dover yesterday, with more than 15,000 having arrived so far this year. the government says it is recruiting a �*highly—skilled' border security commander to deal with the situation. the welsh health secretary baroness morgan has said that she will seriously consider entering the race to become the next first minister.

eluned morgan said she was looking to run on a �*unity ticket�* with the climate change secretary, huw irranca—davies. welsh labour wants to appoint a new leader by mid—september. this follows the resignation of vaughan gething last week afterjust four months in the job. the suspected frontrunner for the job, jeremy miles, who resigned in protest at mr gething's leadership has ruled himself out of the race. next, the south sudan basketball team came painfully short of a historic upset— over the usa losing byjust of a historic upset — over the usa losing byjust one point in a thrilling friendly match in london. south sudan — ranked 33rd in the world — were leading for most of the game, before a basket by lebronjames in the dying seconds secured the win for the us by 101 points to 100. both teams are preparing to compete in the paris olympics, which get under way next week. isaac fanin from bbc sport was at yesterday's game. honestly, it was

a sensational match. i was there gathering for the bbc world service newsday programme, and i was speaking to south sudan fans before the game and there was sort of a lot of hope, but no real expectation, just pride that this country, that hadn't existed 13 years ago, was going to be playing at this tournament and playing against such a titan in the united states. and i think most people thought the us were going to absolutely roll over south sudan, but south sudan put in a sensational performance. they took a really early punch from the united states, who went 8—0 up. but then, from then on, south sudan found their scoring show stroke. but then, from then on, south sudan found their scoring stroke. carlikjones, their point guard, really just controlled everything, and they came so, so close. the fact that they were 14 points clear at half time was insane. clear at half—time was insane. and i think i was sat near the united states bench and you could see these superstars — lebronjames, steph curry — walking back to the locker room.

and there was a look of shock on their face that they were losing to this. and if south sudan had been able to carry on and get this win it would have been the greatest shot — notjust in basketball history, but i think in sport history. but lebronjames, one of the greatest players of all time, showed why he is the best. he was sensational — 25 points on the night, really led from the front, 39 years old. i said last night he is a marvel and he is the reason why south sudan were able to get... south sudan weren't able to get such a historic victory yesterday. isaac fanin reporting, but they do meet again on the 31st ofjuly. stay with us on bbc news. hello. for most of us, the weather's

pleasant enough today — a little cloudy in some areas, but wherever you are, the chances are that there will be at least some sunshine today. and so far, the best of the sun's been across northern and eastern parts of the country. if you look at the satellite picture earlier, clearer skies in eastern scotland, there is damp weather and the forecast, so let's have a look at that. a week weather front is approaching, so damp weather will reach northern ireland. temperatures are on the mid—teens in the south. mostly looks overcast, but then the skies clear. there will be few showers. also the winds quite noticeable. temperatures typically in the low 20s. that week low pressure, weather fronts clearing to the east, and in its place, a ridge of high pressure builds, so that means the weather will be settled, the winds will be later. could be a few showers in the morning, but as

this ridge builds for the course of the day, we'll see predominantly, temperatures around 41 in glasgow. warmest in the southeast. the ridge is still just about with us is stilljust about with us on wednesday. it'll stick around for most of the day. come the evening, we'll start to see a weather front moving in, but it will reach is properly until thursday. wednesday, if you have any plans been week, dry with scattered fair—weather clouds, light winds, pleasantly warm, low to mid 20s i think widely across the uk, but out towards the west, that weather front is waiting. thursday, weather front is waiting. thursday, we will need our brawley �*s, so what thursday to come. —— brollies. high pressure will start to build, so that means drier and brighter

weather, that is the trend into the weekend and next week. any plans, it's looking more reliable with prolonged spells dry and warm weather. bye—bye.

this is bbc news — the headlines... the uk's new chancellor has hinted at an above—inflation pay increase in the public sector. review bodies are understood to have recommended a 5.5% pay rise for teachers

and some nhs staff. rachel reeves told the bbc she would ensure "the sums add up" whatever happens. senatorjoe manchin becomes the latest prominent democrat to call on president biden to withdraw from the race for the white house. israel's military says its air defence system has intercepted a missile fired from yemen — before it could enter israeli airspace over the southern region of eilat. the attack comes after israeli fighterjets carried out air strikes on saturday on the houthi controlled port of hodeidah in yemen. let's bring you more now on the prominent senator joe manchin becoming the latest democrat to call forjoe biden to drop out of the presidential race. democrat to call forjoe biden to manchin said he wanted the president to focus only on his remaining time in office saying he would leave the oval office with an unmatched legacy. president biden�*s campaign team insist he will still run for relection —
