mark lowen injerusalem. what can you tell us? we are still caettin what can you tell us? we are still getting the _ what can you tell us? we are still getting the details _ what can you tell us? we are still getting the details from _ what can you tell us? we are still getting the details from the - what can you tell us? we are still| getting the details from the israeli authorities that the are now saying at least nine people they believe were killed in this attack in the north of the golan heights, in the very north, right on the border with lebanon and syria. it was seized in 1967, by israel and formally annexed in 1981. that is still disputed by leben on. this attack appears to have been on the northern part of the golan heights in majdal shams. among those killed we understand there are young people between the ages of ten and 20. rockets are said to have fallen close to a football field and playground. hezbollah with him is real have been involved in a tit—for—tat strikes since the

october seven attacks in israel, hezbollah has denied being behind the strike. that is a comment from hezbollah to reuters and bbc arabic. they say they were not behind this rocket. the constant fear has been since the 7th of october by hamas that the situation in gaza could escalate into a much wider regional war, bringing in hezbollah from lebanon, backed by iran, that could escalate into a regional war. the fear is this attack which appears to be the deadliest attack in israel from across in lebanon since the 7th of october, could now spark something even more serious than we have seen since the 7th of october? we have seen some escalations, what

makes this effectively have potentially more repercussions? it potentially more repercussions? it potentially is the deadliest attack israel has suffered on its northern border with lebanon since the 7th of october. the exchanges of fire we have seen between israeli forces and hezbollah since the 7th of october have been kind of relatively limited in scope, more skirmishes. it appeared that both sides were trying to be involved in a low—level war of attrition without being drawn into a much more full—scale direct escalation because they are very aware of what that would involve. lebanon has disastrous memories of the war between itself and israel in 2006, which had catastrophic consequences for lebanon. the lebanese economy is in dire straits, the lebanese of all sects, sheer,

sunnl the lebanese of all sects, sheer, sunni, christian, there is no appetite or very little appetite for full—scale war. the constant fear during these exchanges of fire we have seen since the senedd of october are of a miscalculation and the question is whether this rocket fire, whether there was a mess fire, we don't know who was behind the rocket fire, how israel would retaliate and whether it could potentially be escalated to a much more serious regional war.- potentially be escalated to a much more serious regional war. thank you ve much more serious regional war. thank you very much for— more serious regional war. thank you very much for now. _ more serious regional war. thank you very much for now. the _ more serious regional war. thank you very much for now. the breaking - more serious regional war. thank you | very much for now. the breaking news we're hearing from the middle east that israel's defence forces, save it dozens of projections were fired towards northern israel, one saying it hit the town of majdal shams on the golan heights with several casualties including children. hezbollah has denied being behind

that deadly attack. gaza's health ministry says at least 30 people have been killed in an israeli strike on a school which was sheltering displaced people. israeli missiles hit the khadija school compound in deir al—balah in central gaza, it had been housing palestinians who'd been forced to flee their homes since the war began. the israeli army says the strike targeted a hamas command and control centre which was inside the school. ambulances brought those killed and injured, including children, to a nearby hospital in deir al—balah. let's hear from palestinians caught up in the strikes. translation: in an instant, rockets dropped on us - and we are already wounded. it's only been a couple of months since i came back from egypt with my daughter and now my daughter is wounded and was taken to the hospital. i was sitting in the tent at our neighbours'. i heard heavy strikes, i started running, my daughter was in one place and i was in another. i saw people running towards the place that was struck.

the people sheltering in khadijah school are all wounded and they are innocent and this should not have happened to them. meanwhile, further south in the gaza strip, the israeli army ordered an evacuation of southern parts of khan younis — previously designated a humanitarian zone. this map shows where palestinians have been ordered to move. the military says the evacuation was in response to rocket fire. gazans have been speaking about how the new evacuation order is affecting them. translation: we were surprised that israel dropped leaflets on large - residential areas and wanted people to leave. and they had previously announced that they were safe areas and people returned to the areas. we want a solution. our legs are tired from being displaced and we have become sick from being displaced. we are asking for a solution. now the war is 11 months, almost a —year—old and people are fleeing from gaza to rafah and from khan yunis to deir al—balah. enough is enough. unfortunately, this is the fifth

time i have been displaced. this time i fled with my wife and children and left my tent and belongings behind, almost three out of five times i leave all of my belongings and tent and run away. currently i am displaced on foot. i have no money and i am looking for a place to stay. the situation here is very catastrophic and people i do not know where to go. the mawasi area is very densely populated. - i currently, people are in the roadsi and cemeteries and people have no currently i am displaced on foot. i have no money and i am looking for a place to stay. the situation here is very catastrophic and people i do not know where to go. the mawasi area is very densely populated. - i currently, people are in the roadsi and cemeteries and people have no help for them and they hope for a solution today- before tomorrow. let's speak to our correspondent, mark lowen injerusalem. what is the latest on the incident in gaza? , , ., ,

what is the latest on the incident ingaza? , , ., ,, , in gaza? these is really missiles tarueted in gaza? these is really missiles targeted at _ in gaza? these is really missiles targeted at school _ in gaza? these is really missiles targeted at school in _ in gaza? these is really missiles targeted at school in central - in gaza? these is really missiles l targeted at school in central gaza. they killed 30 people according to the gas and health ministry. the people killed were gazans shalt at the school compound. this placed gazans. the israeli defense forces say they targeted the school because they were targeting a hamas commander and control centre. and it was being used to launch attacks against israel forces and stockpile weapons. they say they took specific measures to reduce civilian casualties but it is a sign once again of how while israel maintains it is targeting specific hamas centres, hamas sites, the displaced and ordinary civilians are being caught up tragically in these

attacks. the video you saw shows the aftermath of the attack and we have seen, i have watched a lot of footage about distressing scenes of children very bloodied being treated on the floor of one of the few still partially functioning hospitals in the area. it is a catastrophic situation on the ground. israel maintains it was a targeted strike braced on precise intelligence they had received.— let's go now to our other main story today and the olympic games in paris. for the latest on day one of the games, let's go straight to my colleague maryam moshiri in paris. the day after the night before and the city of paris is recovering after an amazing opening ceremony last night. the crowds around the river seine

and the millions of viewers around the world were treated to a wonderful spectacle, full of music, dance, culture and love. today, the rain is still here. today, the rain has finally stopped. in fact, organisers have said the rain is likely to impact the quality of the water in the river seine over the next couple of days. they say a training session in the river on sunday may be cancelled, but they say they are still confident that the triathlon on tuesday will take place as planned in the seine. but there is plenty of sport already happening. let me take you through some of the big news of the day so far. australia won its first gold of this olympics, grace brown taking out the win in the women's cycling time trials. great britain's anna henderson won silver. china won the first gold medal

of the olympics in the mixed team air rifle shooting. china also took out gold in the women's 3m synchronised diving. britain's yasmin harper and scarlett mewjensen has won team gb�*s first medal of paris 2024 with divingbronze in the women's synchronised 3m springboard final. the men's basketball is under way with australia securing a 92—80 victory over spain in the opening game at bercy arena. in the men's hockey — ireland have lost 2—0 to belgium in their opening game of pool a. the defending champions scored a goal in each half from tom boon and alexander hendrickx. and plenty happerning in the pool today as team gbs men qualifty for this evenings 4 by 100m freestyle relay. and in under an hour's time, it will be the final of the men's rugby sevens competition at the stade de france, in northern paris. it's france's first attempt at a medal in the games as they take on fiji who are the reigning champions from tokyo and from rio in 2016 when sevens first became an olympic event. huge pressure on antoine dupont�*s men and a match that all of france will no doubt be glued to. so those are just a few of the headlines coming out

of the sport, but let's look at some of the highlights of the opening ceremony. the olympic flame, which had been carried by a host of global sports superstars including rafael nadal, serena williams and zinedine zidane, was used to light a huge cauldron on a hot—air balloon that rose high into the paris sky. the culmination of the show included an emotional return of canadian icon celine dion — her first live performance for four years. she sang on a spectacularly illuminated eiffel tower for the first time since revealing a serious health condition. joining me now is one of the co—authors of the opening ceremony, leila slimani. it is an honour to have you in the programme and day after the event happened. how do you feel about it

began to write the ceremony we know it was one of the most important things for us to be really inclusive and show different bodies and skin colours and different types of french people with differentjobs, different ways of living and loving, so for us it was a really important to be as inclusive as possible and also give our space to women in history in france and that is why i was also very moved by the part when you see the statues of very important female figures of french history. i think it is something french people will remember for a long time. hat french people will remember for a lona time. ., ., , . , long time. not only french but --eole long time. not only french but peeple around _ long time. not only french but people around the _ long time. not only french but people around the world. - long time. not only french but people around the world. how| people around the world. how different is planning a ceremonial on the seine versus a stadium? igrailmen on the seine versus a stadium? when we bean

escalated, with donald trump calling ms harris the most far—left vice president in us history. she was a bum three weeks ago, she was a bum. applause a failed vice president in a failed administration with millions of people crossing and she was the borders are. and she was the borders czar. kamala“s spokesperson hit back, describing the speech as the "bizarre and backward—looking delusions of a criminal." joining me now is democratic strategist laura fink and republican strategist matt terrill, who was also former chief of staff to marco rubio“s presidential campaign. laura, what are your thoughts on the

campaign now that it seems support is growing for kamala harris? support is growing because we see a juggernaut of a campaign run. you see she is breaking records in virtually every measurable category of campaigning. fundraising, volunteer sign up, the number of people online who have created energetic means, she has taken over the internet, cornered the market on volunteers, and has been highly successful beginning to prosecute the case against donald trump. this is one the republicans were not counting on as they rested in their overconfidence at their own convention. overconfidence at their own convention-— overconfidence at their own convention. ~ . ., ., convention. what are your thoughts? are ou at convention. what are your thoughts? are you at all— convention. what are your thoughts? are you at all concerned _ convention. what are your thoughts? are you at all concerned about - are you at all concerned about trump's prospects? bike

obama. she has the signs of having the potential to do that but also capturing swing voters and i agree certainly the economy will be central to this campaign it is also about the future and not the past which donald trump represents. it is about looking forward and capitalising on that energy. he failed to mention reproductive choice and freedom and that is something central to the minds of many voters, a lot of apolitical voters see for the first time women having their rights taken away by donald trump's supreme court. i think this campaign will be waged tactically but also it will be a better vision for the future which i think makes donald trump worry because he likes to look back. it seems as though any sense of fostering the unity we were talking about after trump's shooting seems to have rather disappeared given his latest speech. we had a bit of it earlier. i latest speech. we had a bit of it earlier. ., , , latest speech. we had a bit of it earlier. ~' , , .,

is the challenge. a strong contender who is discipline. irate is the challenge. a strong contender who is discipline.— who is discipline. we have to leave it there. thank _ who is discipline. we have to leave it there. thank you _ who is discipline. we have to leave it there. thank you very _ who is discipline. we have to leave it there. thank you very much - who is discipline. we have to leave it there. thank you very much for. it there. thank you very much for your comments on bbc news. there is more on our stories on our website. for now, stay with us on bbc news. hello. hitand miss hit and miss sunshine today. sammy earlier on but a weather front approaching, if it has not reached you are ready and it does mean an overcast afternoon and some outbreaks of rain. here is the radar. that is where it has been raining. quite a few showers across parts of northern england, the lake district and

southern scotland but they do not last very long. that means for most others it should be a dry day. the best of the sunshine along the south coast of england. it should brighten up. temperatures fairly modest. mostly high teens elsewhere. this evening and overnight, the cloud will melt away and we will have a clear night, mist an fog forming by sunday, temperatures first thing, about ten or so in the lowlands of scotland. tomorrow a sunny day from the word go. sky on the hazy side across northern ireland and scotland but dry. temperatures widely into the 20s. the humidity will be rising notjust the 20s. the humidity will be rising not just tomorrow but the 20s. the humidity will be rising notjust tomorrow but gradually over the coming days. you can see that in
