after a major incursion into russian territory, by ukrainian forces. a state of emergency has been declared in russia's western kursk region, with moscow saying up to a thousand ukrainian troops are involved. reports suggest they could be operating up to 20 miles inside russia, with intense fighting, close to the town of su—ja. to the town of suhajg. the kremlin's is sending reinforcements to the region which contains a nuclear plant. steve rosenberg, has the very latest from moscow. they assault on russia began on tuesday. suddenly, russia's or had come under control. several villages

had been seized. residents recorded this video to vladimir putin. it is an astonishing sight. russian jets scrambling to bomb russian territory. they are targeting ukrainian troops, who've attacked in large numbers across the border. it came out of nowhere. the ukrainian assaults on russia's kursk region began on tuesday and suddenly russia's war had come much closer to home. this drone footage from a ukrainian military unit is purported to show russian soldiers surrendering. several villages have been seized. in the border town of sudzha residents recorded this video appeal to vladimir putin, calling on the kremlin leader for help. the chief of the general staff told you that everything is under control, this man said. but there are big battles going on around here. president putin met his security chiefs to discuss the battle against terrorism. he has called the ukrainian attack a provocation but not an invasion, perhaps to downplay it. the kremlin trying to keep calm and carry on. for the last two and a half years the message from the kremlin has

been that the special military operation, russia's war in ukraine, has been going according to plan. this week's extraordinary events in southern russia suggest otherwise. even one of russia's most pro—kremlin newspapers admitted today that the ukrainian assault represented a strong move by president zelensky and that it was having painful consequences for russia. it is unclear how many ukrainian soldiers attacked and how they got through. so what happened, like what, there was no border patrol? how could these thousands, obviously thousands of troops, could get through? and so questions will be asked. but we also know that putin is very good at deflating attention from his mistakes or russia's mistakes into something else. and that is what i am going to see, i think we are going to see in the near future. now russia is bringing in reinforcements to the kursk region. russian military chiefs have promised their president that they will restore control. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. russian military chiefs have promised their president that they will restore control. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. emergency services of a missile strike on

supermarket skill ia in this part of ukraine, russia is advancing and with every mile they do, the more common strikes like this become. once again, a missile hits a hub of civilisation, a supermarket where people were doing a daily or weekly shop. "we're still searching the area," says pavlo, a police officer. "we're trying to find out if anyone else could still be under the rubble. anyone." translation: russia always knows i where it hits with its missiles. i and this is deliberate and targeted russian terror. scenes like this have been replicated before, but in times of a full scale invasion, it's not clear whether this is a response to ukraine's cross—border assault. here, it's hoped a counteroffensive like no other might bring respite. but optimism is hard to come by when this is a reality. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv.

a plane has crashed in sao paolo state in brazil, killing all 61 people on board. footage on social media shows the aircraft spiralling out of control. a warning — the following pictures show the moment leading up to the crash, which you may find distressing. the cause of the crash remains unclear. the airline, voepass, said the plane took off from cascavel, and was en—route to the main airport in sao paulo city when it came down in a residential area of vin—yay—do . authorities said no—one on the ground was injured. joining me live from sao paulo is our south american correspondent ione wells. such distressing images they're showing before the crash. bring us up—to—date on what dell. said. showing before the crash. bring us up-to-date on what dell.— showing before the crash. bring us up-to-date on what dell. said, it is incredibly distressing _

this isjordan parlour when he was arrested at home in leeds. one of three men jailed today, not for violence on the streets, but for violent words online that played a role in disorder that shocked the nation. last weekend, he was watching the riots across the country. today, leeds crown court heard he was angry about immigration and a local hotel housing asylum seekers. the hotel had been pelted by stones as disorder spread to leeds. jordan encouraged his 1500 followers to do it again. every man and his dog should be smashing britannia hotel, he said. staff and residents were terrified, managers had to shut down the site and please send in five teams to protect the in five teams to protect the hotel. jailing jordan parlour, thejudge said he had been motivated by his anger over immigration.

his anger over immiaaratioalthou had no intention of carrying out any act of violence, there could be no doubt that you are inciting others to do so. otherwise, why post a comment? richard williams from buckley in north wales, jailed for three months for sharing a menacing post about migrants while also encouraging rioters. in northampton, tyler kay was locked up for 38 months. he had called on the x social media platform for attacks on asylum seeker hotels. for days, the prime minister has faced calls for new laws to regulate social media companies. it is not a lawless zone, i agree we have to look more broadly at social media after this disorder. but the focus at the moment has to be on dealing with the disorder and making sure communities are safe and secure. notjust here in leeds but across the country, the wheels ofjustice are turning faster. courts in newcastle, sheffield, thanet and plymouth have all seenjailing is, among others. a0 people have been convicted. notjust racist extremists, counter protesters too. otherjailers include these men, sameer ali and adnan ghafoor.

they were part of a counter protest in leeds against far right activists. they punched a group of white men, saying they had been provoked by anti—muslim insults. the judge said that was no excuse and gave them 20 months, and 2.5 years respectively. arrests and charges are still continuing, including this former labour councillor, rickyjones, accused of encouraging others to act violently towards far right protesters. tonight, police chiefs hope that the torrent of violence last week will be replaced by the surge in prosecutions and railings. 740 arrests so far, 300 charged, and promises of more to come. arrest and charge are still continuing. you're in 740 or so far, 700 charge -- 700, you're in 740 or so far, 700 charge —— 700, promises more to come.

why not around 6,000 public. order traine- d officers will remain on duty across the uk in the coming days, ready for any further outbreaks of violence, while in belfast, over a hundred officers from police scotland have been drafted to boost numbers. this evening a small anti—immigration demonstration was swamped by around a thousand counter protestors, outside belfast city hall. chris page has been there. it's been far from a normal friday here in belfast city centre this afternoon. some shops and cafes shut, early, roads were closed and there was a major policing operation as two demonstrations were held, the anti—racism protest was by far the bigger one. well, over a thousand people attended it and they were separated by a row of armoured police land rovers from the anti—immigration demonstration. about 200 people were at that. the crowds dispersed peacefully after a couple of hours, and so far tonight, there have been no signs of the trouble that we saw in belfast last weekend and into this week over that period of time, ten police officers have been injured, 26 people

have been arrested in connection with street violence and suspected racially motivated hate crimes, and 21 of them have been charged. and now, although it does seem quiet at the moment, there are indications the police service of northern ireland believes there's the potential for more disturbances. it has asked for 120 extra officers, and those police officers are arriving from scotland in the coming days to provide back—up and more expected demonstrations and other big outdoor events. it has asked for 120 extra officers, and those police officers are arriving from scotland in the coming days to provide back—up and more expected demonstrations and other big outdoor events. the former bbc news presenter huw edwards has been asked by the corporation to return more than £200,000 in earnings paid after his arrest in november. he pleaded guilty last month to possessing images of children. the chair of the bbc, samir shah, in an email to staff, says edwards had behaved in bad faith, taking licence fee money when he knew what he'd done. katie razzall has more details.

around half £1 million a year, even after he was suspended last summer. but ever since his guilty plea, the bbc has been underfire because it knew back in november that he'd been arrested for these serious crimes. but it continued to pay him for five months to the tune of a total of around £200,000, until he resigned in april. now they've written to hugh edwards asking him to give it back, and the chair of the bbc board, samir shah, said this. he said let me be clear, the villain of this piece is hugh edwards. —— he was earning. the victims are those children for whose degradation hugh edwards provided a market for. and he went on, mr edwards behaved in bad faith throughout this time. mr edwards knew what he had done, but he still took licence fee money to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds. now the board has backed the decisions made by the director general back in november. i understand that at that time, the bbc did try to ascertain whether hugh edwards admitted that he had images of this serious nature, but they couldn't establish the facts. but obviously what's emerged since has really dented trust in the bbc, and recouping some of that money

would restore some of that. but how realistic is it they are making a moral argument to a man whose behaviour has been anything but. so if that fails, they will be considering legal action. but it is... there's no certainty around that. i mean, some contracts do have clauses, for example penalties if somebody is convicted of a crime. but from the contact i've had with employment lawyers, it's not clear on what legal basis the bbc could try to claw back the cash. so the statement today, i think, was as much about getting on the front foot after some very negative headlines. they've also announced an independent review of how the corporation deals with bad or inappropriate behaviour by people in a position of power. and that chair of the board, samir shah, described how to handle those people as a continuing problem. in that chair of the board described how to handle those people of

continuing problem. let's take a quick look at tomorrow's front pages.. king charles' comments in the wake of recent violence and unrest feature heavily in tomorrow's papers. the telegraph echoes the king's call for unity in its headline and repeats his hope that "shared values of mutual respect and understanding will continue to strengthen and unite the nation". king charles' praise for britain's community spirit in response to the riots that have followed the southport stabbings — is also the times' lead story. the king reportedly told the prime minister and senior police officers in a telephone call earlier, that he was encouraged by the "compassion" and "resilience shown by many"— and expressed his thanks to both the police and emergency services. also featured by the times on its front page, along with several papers, is britain's katarina johnson—thompson, who ended her long wait for an olympic heptathlon medal. the two—time world champion took silver but narrowly missed out the king reportedly told the prime minister and senior police officers in a telephone call earlier, that he was encouraged by the "compassion" and "resilience shown by many"— and expressed his thanks to both the police and emergency services.

also featured by the times on its front page, along with several papers, is britain's katarina johnson—thompson, who ended her long wait for an olympic heptathlon medal. the two—time world champion took silver but narrowly missed out on gold to belgian history—maker nafissatou thiam. elsewhere, papers including the mirror lead on the news that the bbc has asked former presenter huw edwards to hand back more than £200,000 that he earned after being arrested on child abuse image charges. in it's weekend edition, the i claims that chancellor rachel reeves is considering lifting the 13—year freeze on fuel duty in her october budget— in an attempt to plug a £22 billion hole in the nation's finances. meanwhile, the guardian warns in an exclusive that english universities are at a "tipping point" that could push some into fianancial crisis as money runs out. it's been a busy day at the olympics for team gb —

natalie pirks reports. it might not have been the colour she came for, but after winning the olympic medal that had eluded her, katarina johnson—thompson couldn't hide her delight. in the heptathlon, points mean prizes. in this case, it meant time. johnson—thompson needed to beat her rival by more than eight seconds in the 800m. she is faster, but not that fast. this is a great run from katarina johnson—thompson... she posted a lifetime best, but she couldn't shake the belgian off, who also ran herfastest time. a hug for the first woman to win the heptathlon olympic title three times. but with her silver tiara, pride forjohnson—thompson. i can't even describe the words that this weekend has, like, taken. i'm just so relieved, i'm so happy, i'm so, so happy that i've got an olympic medal to add to my collection, it was the only one that i didn't have. it's been so hard getting to this point, getting back to this point, so i'm just so, so relieved. from relief to mayhem, the sprint relays are always good value,

it's been so hard getting to this point _ it's been so hard getting to this point it's— it's been so hard getting to this point. it's why i'm just so relieved _ it's why i'm just so relieved. and they didn't disappoint. the european champions were matching the american favourites stride for stride but... no, it's a bad change! it left daryll neita with a lot to do, but she helped reel in the silver, an upgrade on tokyo's bronze, much to their delight. we've been such a solid and consistent and great squad for so many years, and coming in olympic bronze medallists, being able tojump a step to olympic silver medallists feels amazing. in the men's relay, there was unfinished business for britain, but the battle of the baton can often be brutal. oh, the usa have made a complete mess of it! stars and gripes for the favourites. butjoy for britain. zharnel hughes was rapid down the back straight to claim bronze behind south africa and the new champions. andre de grasse for canada! frenetic but fun, the flags were fluttering for british track success.

now, from practising in his dad's garden, to olympic gold, it's been quite the day for toby roberts. first olympic champion in boulder and lead climbing with a quite literally, gripping performance. there were also medals in the velodome as ben croucher reports. olympic champion. . .toby roberts! cheering and applause. great britain has a new rock star — teenager toby roberts, nicknamed the terminator, reaching the very summit of his sport. if you haven't got to grips with this yet, climbers tackle four boulders initially, followed by a very big wall that leans out at nearly 45 degrees. roberts, who became hooked when it was announced climbing

would be in the olympics, went high on the lead section. now the wait to cling on to gold. but when anraku sorato fell, that medal was his. no, really! it is a gold medal for toby roberts! itjust feels incredible, like years and years of work have into gone into this, and to stand on that podium just itjust fills me with, like, just pride. and it's just so great to be here with all my family support, and it still hasn't sunk in. his dad even built him a diy wall in the family garden during covid lockdown. so was this all part of the plan? everyone can have a good plan, but to implement it like he has and to show up every day and fight as hard as he has, that's what makes it happen. so this is suddenly a bit of, i don't know, a surprise. in track cycling, britain has a little more pedigree. in the chaos of the madison, elinor barker and neah evans were keen to stand out. dayglow helmets help — so do strong legs and a slick slingshot. and after 120 laps of all this... great britain haul themselves up from bronze into the silver medal position. if that left you a bit breathless, try being jack carlin. he won sprint bronze in tokyo and knows how

to get it over the line. jack carlin's got it, bronze for great britain! so if you're after medals, follow britain on the fast track. ben croucher, bbc news. in the past hour, the algerian boxer at the centre of a dispute about gender has won an olympic gold medal. imane khelif beat china's liu yang in a unanimous points decision in front of a crowd of 15,000 at the roland garros stadium. committee because i present describe

but we do need to caveat that with saturday, there is going to be quite a lot of cloud around for most of us. but it will turn increasingly very warm and very humid from sunday onwards. let's take a look at what's happening, then. this weather front will bring more cloud on saturday into south—west england and wales, and with isobars quite tightly packed together further north, that's going to feed in plenty of showers, particularly from west to east across scotland throughout the day. southern scotland, northern ireland keeping some sunshine. england and wales, quite a lot of cloud feeding in. at times, there'll be some light, drizzly rain and poor visibility through the irish sea coast there. top temperatures, though, 24 degrees. that's still 75 fahrenheit. but as we move out of saturday and into sunday, this area of low pressure is going to move in and allow the winds to change to a southerly direction. and that means we're going to tap into some very hot weather that's taking place across the mediterranean at the moment. so early morning cloud will break up quite quickly. a lot of dry, settled, sunny weather right across the country on sunday. increasingly hot, increasingly humid. this weather front threatening to the north—west, but it will stay away during the daylight hours. 16—23 degrees likely in scotland. highest values, though, of 28 — 82 fahrenheit — in the south—east. that will lead to a very humid night

to come, and on monday, the heat is likely to peak. we could see some record—breaking heat in bordeaux if we get temperatures in excess of 41 degrees. but for the south—east, we're likely to see temperatures peaking somewhere around 32—33 degrees. at the same time, further north, that weather front moves in, and with that heat and humidity coupled with that front, we are likely to see some sharp, thundery downpours. really quite torrential, heavy rain for a time. that will freshen the story up further north, but we've still got that heat and humidity clinging on in the south—east of england. one low eases away, another is likely to move in, again bringing some unsettled weather. not for all of us, but certainly a fresher feel as we go through the week ahead. there will continue to be some lengthy spells of sunshine, particularly across southern england. showers or longer spells of rain likely further north.
