10:33 am
address those fears people have for their safety?— their safety? i think if they can address three _ their safety? i think if they can address three things _ their safety? i think if they can address three things for - their safety? i think if they can address three things for us, i their safety? i think if they can - address three things for us, looking at our legislation, how we can improve that in northern ireland, especially making sure everyone is covered, and a better understanding of all of us with our differences, thatis of all of us with our differences, that is really key. a second thing to take into account is language. what type of language is being used as far as describing individuals, describing what is happening around us and our understanding? we are all ina us and our understanding? we are all in a vulnerable place and it is understandable there is a lot of people who potentially could be frustrated for numerous reasons but the most important thing is language and how we talk to each other about resolving this. ultimately, those two things that everyone's daily life, going to work, right now, our families, what everyone should be doing in the summer, children are off school, really important they can come up with solutions that will be positive for the community across the board, that would just reinforced that everyone's humanity

and people being the centre of decisions and talking to communities, especially in crucial decision—making how to go forward. when you talk to people, have people said they are too afraid to live there any more, what is your sense of how much an impact it has had? that of how much an impact it has had? git the moment? everyone feels vulnerable. this is something no one would have anticipated could have escalated to where it is right now. across the board, everywhere is a wonderful place to live, but i think it is how we can appreciate the differences of each other and understand what is involved in everyone's everyday life. the listening to understand everyone's vulnerability, we are different, we look at things differently, we have different things we are doing, to send us embracing that. looking at how we can be inclusive in our language and how we interact. at the

tojewish property. russia's defence ministry says operations are continuing to try to drive out ukrainian forces involved in the cross—border incursion into the kursk region, adjoining sumy in ukraine. president putin accused ukraine of a major provocation by sending 1,000 soldiers into the town about 640 kilometres south—west of moscow. the government in kyiv has not officially commented. dr anna matveeva is a senior visiting research fellow at king's college london. she told us that all indications are this was an attack from ukrainian armed forces. all indications are that it is actually an attack by the ukrainian armed forces because the number of troops and the kind of weapons which have been used point to that. there was an quite an organised and well prepared attack, which actually managed to cross the border into russian federation and engage with the russian troops on the russian territory. this is a truly unprecedented event. the ukrainian side have
10:37 am
been barraging russian territory with missiles, has been shelling and of course a lot of drone attacks. but in terms of sending ground assault troops into a major russian region, which also hosts one of the oldest nuclear power stations, that is truly an escalatory move. two months after blasting off on a test mission to the international space station, two american astronauts are still unable to return home after problems with a boeing starliner spacecraft means they can't be brought back to earth. barry wilmore and sunita williams may now end up spending more than eight months — rather than eight days — on board the iss. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes reports. three, two, one, ignition. and lift—off of- starliner and atlas 5. it was expected to be a short stay at the international space station for butch wilmore and sunita williams.
10:38 am
but the test pilots for boeing's new starliner are in for a longer trip than they bargained for. eight days could turn into eight months because their capsule has been deemed unsafe to return to earth. problems with its propulsion system emerged during starliner�*s initial approach to the space station injune, and it still hasn't been fixed. no decision has been made yet, but it looks like the capsule will eventually return to earth, but to be on the safe side, without the astronauts. they may have to hitch a lift with rival company spacex. the capsule crew dragon is due to head to the space station later this year and talks are under way with nasa to leave two empty seats so the stranded astronauts can get home on the return trip. they've already been stuck in space for two months, but the pair could be in for quite a wait, since the crew dragon won't be heading back to earth until next february. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles.

you might remember the willy wonka—themed experience in glasgow which went viral earlier this year. the event was promoted as a family day out, but customers were disappointed to find a sparsely decorated warehouse. well, now there's a musical based on it, which is being performed at this year's edinburgh fringe. david sillito has been behind the scenes to meet the team involved. edinburgh, and welcome to the fringe. my show, attention seeker, is a character comedy sketch show. biscuit barrel — not another 69 sketch show. my show is called little beasts. and this is willy wonka and the doctor factory. there's also a wonka magic show and two wonka musicals. there's a lot of willy wonka here. i think it's sort of a glasgow situation. have you heard about that? glasgow. you may remember it. the gloriously disappointing wonka chocolate experience. the images went round the world, especially this one of a very sad

0ompa loompa, which inspired an american producer, richard kraft. so, what is this show you're doing? ok, so what it is, myself and the entire universe saw an image on social media of a really sad looking 0ompa loompa. the sad 0ompa loompa, in a way, became a symbol around the world of "what the hell happened to my life?" and so since i kept asking the question, "what's going on in that girl's head?" i thought, there's only one way to answer what's going on in someone's head. it's a musical. a musical, of course! what else would it be? a musical! are you mad? i'm worried for you. willy's grand opening! but he's done it. and the star of the show... ..yes, it's the sad 0ompa loompa herself, kirsty paterson. it was a disaster. it's as bad as what they say it was, how it ended. -
10:41 am
but i was the last one standing, giving out the jelly beans. - and the exact time when they took the picture, to be fair, _ was when i was seriously- contemplating my life, being like, "maybe i should just gol and do something else." number one tourist attraction in glasgow! it feels like a dream come true. i mean, i don't think. a lot of people can say they have a musical| written about them. veruca has haunted me, in a good way. you know, i wasn't quite the sad 0ompa loompa meme, but i have been a meme for many, many women. i want it now! so, how many days rehearsal have you had? so far, one. 0ne? 0ne. but back to the star of the moment, kirsty. and a little 0ompa loompa masterclass. could you do meme 0ompa loompa for me? of course i can. i've practised it many, many times. so, you need your hips hip—width apart, nice l and sturdy on the ground. look into the bottom left corner and you're just going to do... i david sillito, bbc news, edinburgh.

northern ireland the moment. it has been recalled, the assembly, to discuss violence. the first minister and deputy first minister have said the top priority is to face down racism and intimidation. a tax on businesses in the city and anti—immigration protests turn violent. the police came under attack in the east of the city in belfast last night, objects were thrown. there will be a news conference at stormont shortly, we will bring you that as soon as it happens. the world health organization says it's sending more than a million polio vaccines to gaza for an urgent campaign to immunise children following the complete collapse of the sanitation system. traces of the polio virus were found last month in sewage in gaza — a sign that the virus is circulating. the un agency says there's a very high risk of diseases spreading and polio vaccination rates in gaza have fallen sharply
10:50 am
since the israeli attacks in the territory began. the agency's chief, dr tedros adhanom ghebreyesus, outlined plans for two rounds of vaccination but warned that it would require absolute freedom of movement for health workers to carry out the operation. yolande knell is injerusalem with more.
10:51 am
there has been this routine screening that has gone on because the world health organization, in particular, has been so alert to the threat here of public health disasters, with the very poor living conditions that are in gaza at the moment. and so, last month, there was this screening of the sewage water in two locations in gaza — in deir al—balah and also in khan younis, in the south — where they found traces of the polio virus in the sewage water samples that they collected. that really got alarm bells ringing. quickly, the israeli military said that it was going to start a vaccination programme for its soldiers serving in gaza, and the world health organization began to look for ways to to bring in polio vaccines and to have this kind of mass vaccination programme. i mean, we have a situation where, with ten months of war, the regular childhood vaccination programmes have been extremely badly disrupted, and children make up nearly half of the population of gaza, so they are very vulnerable. there's been other screening that's gone on by medics, where they're trying to see if they've found any cases already

of the paralysis that can come about from polio, which is usually spread through faecal matter. and at the moment we're not hearing about confirmed cases, but there is a big worry here. now, the future success of a racehorse can be predicted when it isjust one month old by looking at its gut health. veterinary scientists at the university of surrey in england have discovered that by testing bacteria in the digestive system of very young racehorses, they can see how well they are likely to perform on the track. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill explains. atjust a few months old, these thoroughbred foals are neverfarfrom mum, although they're very curious about the world. and at this stables in surrey, young racehorses have been involved in a scientific study that's revealed clues about whether they'll be a future winner. this little nibbly one is just four months old, but she's basically an athlete in training. and what this research has shown is that even at one month old, her future success can actually be seen inside her body, in her gut. the scientists just need a small sample from the stable. it's as simple as that.
10:53 am
all we need for the tests that we're going to do are a faecal sample from the foal. in this container are all the microbes or bacteria that live in a young racehorse's gut. the researchers used a dna test to reveal all the different kinds of bacteria. they regularly took and tested faecal samples from 52 horses over the first three years of the animals' lives. the diversity of gut bacteria in foals at four weeks old, so really young, that predicts their future health and theirfuture racing performance. so the more different types of bacteria in the foal�*s gut, the healthier... correct. ..the more successful? correct, yes. what does this show us about how important the gut is forjust overall physical health? absolutely critical. there is a growing understanding that what happens in human guts, in animal guts, in horses, has a profound influence on many aspects of health and disease.
10:54 am
researchers are now investigating which helpful bacteria they could give to very young foals as an early boost for their future health. we're always looking to find out ways in which we can produce as healthy a horse as possible, and one that's going to perform well on the track. so anything that we can investigate further into how we can get them to be in the best shape they can be is a really good opportunity for us. the research shows that, like so many animals, these elite athletes of the equine world are driven by the trillions of bacteria that live inside their bodies. victoria gill, bbc news. we are keeping an eye on northern ireland, stormont, the executive has been having a meeting ahead of the northern ireland assembly being recalled from summer recess following violent disorder in northern ireland. we understand the meeting has also been attended by
