three men are jailed for comments posted online we begin our program tonight with devastating scenes out of brazil's sao paulo state, where the governor has declared three days of mourning after a plane crash killed all 61 people on board. a warning — the following pictures leading up to the moment of the crash are distressing. footage on social media shows the aircraft spiralling out of control. 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 vinhedo. authorities report no—one on the ground was injured. ana lucia witnessed the fatal crash, here's what she said translation: i thought it would fall on our yard. _

translation: i thought it would fall on our yard. it _ translation: i thought it would fall on our yard. it was _ translation: i thought it would fall on our yard. it was scary, - fall on our yard. it was scary, but thank god there were no victims. it seems that 62 people in the plane were the real victims. people in the plane were the realvictims. by people in the plane were the real victims. by back brazil's air force has launched an investigation into the crash — and said at a news conference friday night that — at this point — there was no indication from the aricraft that there was an emergency. sao paulo security officials said they recovered the plane's black box — a device that could give investigators vital information of the moments leading up to the disaster. )meanwhile, firefighters, military police, and state civil defense are all deployed at the scene. following news of the crash, brazilian president luiz inacio lula da silva paid tribute to the victims with a moment of silence at an event where he was speaking. let's get the latest now with our south america correspondent ione wells...(i. what do we know about what happened? if anything? there is an investigation under way to try

and establish exactly that because there's still a lot of questions about what went wrong, what led this plane to notjust wrong, what led this plane to not just crash, wrong, what led this plane to notjust crash, but spiral out of the sky in such as dramatic and southern way. we know so far is that it was flying normal —— sudden way. minutes later, lost contact with air traffic control. but also kind of strange at the moment is that there is apparently no reports of any kind of emergency or trouble at the plane. it is very little information about what could have possibly gone wrong. what will be key to this is looking at the black box to establish any kind of lost communications. at the moment,

what we do know for defendant is that all 57 passengers and the four crew members on board have tragically been killed. nobody in the surrounding areas been reported injured or killed, but certainly many feel very lucky to be alive after the dramatic scenes that we saw of plane crashing into the ground in a big cloud of black smoke and flames into what is a very residential area. [30 smoke and flames into what is a very residential area.— very residential area. do we know anything _ very residential area. do we know anything more - very residential area. do we know anything more yet - very residential area. do we i know anything more yet about the victims, both those on board? . ., , board? the airline has published _ board? the airline has published a _ board? the airline has published a full - board? the airline has published a full list. board? the airline has published a full list of| board? the airline has - published a full list of names of those who were on order tragically killed. we know that two of them were medical students in the state of fire not cancer hospital. trainee doctors and among those killed, the hospital and friends'

relatives have paid tribute to these individuals. i think we can expect more coming in the coming days. the president, lula da silva, has paid tribute as well to the victims. he held as well to the victims. he held a minute's silence and said that his solidarity was with all the families and friends of those impacted. emergency services are still at the scene. there is very distressing feelings which we cannot broadcast of some of those bodies around the scene —— distressing footage. those bodies around the scene -- distressing footage.- -- distressing footage. lone, what happened _ -- distressing footage. lone, what happened at _ -- distressing footage. lone, what happened at the - -- distressing footage. lone, | what happened at the scene? -- distressing footage. lone, - what happened at the scene? we can see it's a very residential area. have people had to leave their homes? what's happening on the ground?— on the ground? well, sort of miraculously, _ on the ground? well, sort of miraculously, only _ on the ground? well, sort of miraculously, only one - on the ground? well, sort of| miraculously, only one home on the ground? well, sort of. miraculously, only one home is reported to have been damaged in this condominium complex area, where the plane went

down. so, emergency services are still responding of course to the scene. it's not yet clear if there is water damage that may emerge. at the moment, many residents say they are lucky to will be alive —— wider damage. also lucky no—one on the ground was armed. we heard moving testimony and, when askedif moving testimony and, when asked if something could ever happen in this area, a woman said she could imagine, and she feared because the fact this is an area over this flight path around sao paulo international airport, this is incredibly unprecedented. there are hundreds of flights going in and out of sao paulo. yet nothing quite like this has been seen in recent years. this is really unprecedented. indeed. ione wells, thank you. russia's war in ukraine is now much closer to home, after a major incursion

into russian territory, by ukrainian forces. a state of emergency is in effect in russia's western kursk region, with moscow saying up to a thousand ukrainian troops are involved.reports verified by the bbc, show a is—vehicle russian convoy, badly damaged and burned in the kursk region. the person who posted the video, has now been arrested. russia is striking back: ukrainian authorities say 14 people have been killed in a missile attack in the east of the country. more on that in a moment. but first, steve rosenberg, has the very latest from moscow. -- iooo. -- 1,000. 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 leaderfor 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's 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 nearfuture.

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. for more, i spoke to kurt volker, former us special envoy to ukraine and former us ambassador to nato. ukraine is continuing this invasion. how significant is this counteroffensive? i invasion. how significant is this counteroffensive? i get is significant — this counteroffensive? i get is significant. most _ this counteroffensive? i get is significant. most important i significant. most important thing is that interrupts putin's narrative. he is trying to sell his words been —— wore to sell his words been —— wore to the russian people. that is clearly not the case. ukraine is able to penetrate inside russia and seize territory. bringing more home to the russian people in a way that's

not been done before, that's significant. eye is also significant. eye is also significant for the west. —— i also think. it has the ability to fight. also think. it has the ability to fiuht. ,, also think. it has the ability to fiuht. ~ also think. it has the ability tofiuht. ~ , to fight. do you think this was the subject — to fight. do you think this was the subject of— to fight. do you think this was the subject of kersk_ to fight. do you think this was the subject of kersk in - the subject of kersk in particular?— the subject of kersk in particular? first of all, russian _ particular? first of all, russian forces - particular? first of all, russian forces had - particular? first of all, - russian forces had amassed there earlier. ukraine flipped that on its head by attacking them. they are now forcing russian forces to pull forces away from front lines in southern and eastern ukraine in order to reinforce inside russia. the ukrainians are turning that on its head. as you may remember, russia has occupied this power plant for a very long time. this is no

getting close to a russian grid power plant. there are several things that i think i should add to, take some of the pressure off the fighting around kharkiv, ukraine's second largest city.- second largest city. you mentioned _ second largest city. you mentioned that - second largest city. you mentioned that this - second largest city. you mentioned that this doesn't fit with the putin narrative of how the war in ukraine has been going so far within russia. what kind of response might we expect from president putin to this? i expect from president putin to this? ., _ expect from president putin to this? ., ., ., this? i would say more of the same. this? i would say more of the same- it's — this? i would say more of the same. it's not _ this? i would say more of the same. it's not as _ this? i would say more of the same. it's not as if _ this? i would say more of the same. it's not as if putin - this? i would say more of the same. it's not as if putin has| same. it's not as if putin has been holding him back for the last two years. he's mentoring everything he has at this war —— she's been throwing, and he hasn't been able to defeat ukraine. hitting ukrainian cities if they can, that's about all putin is able to do. from the ukrainian perspective, how sustainable is this

counteroffensive? obviously, the weapons ever arrive from nato and the us, but we hear president sillence keep talking about a shortage of troops. == about a shortage of troops. -- president _ about a shortage of troops. » president zelensky. it's going to be a difficult thing to sustain, and maybe that's not important as the symbol they were able to do this. he had a significant blow against russia. it has expose the lies putin has been telling his own population. putin has been telling his own imputation-— putin has been telling his own population. where you see the conflict going _ population. where you see the conflict going next? _ population. where you see the conflict going next? are - population. where you see the conflict going next? are we - conflict going next? are we still away off to the end of this war?— still away off to the end of this war? ~ . ~ �* this war? we are, i think we're auoin to this war? we are, i think we're going to see — this war? we are, i think we're going to see any _ this war? we are, i think we're going to see any promising - this war? we are, i think we're| going to see any promising end to the war until after the presidential election. putin wants to see how that goes and judge what the policies are. but i think you are seeing some things turned in ukraine's favour. the weapons and ammunition �*s have arrived and

they are hitting deeper into russian territory. they've hit a lot of air defence systems including crimea. they're doing a betterjob now of putting pressure on to the russian forces at a greater distance. i think that is also something that putin will have to take into account and will probably affect his calculations about how he sees this coming to a close sometime next year. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the bbc has asked the former presenter huw edwards to return the salary he was paid between his arrest last november and april, when he resigned from the corporation. he was paid more than £200,000 during the period. last month, edwards pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children. bbc chairman samir shah said

the former presenter had "betrayed the trust of staff and our audiences." the former model katie price has appeared in court in london after being arrested at heathrow airport, for failing to appear at bankruptcy proceedings. she was warned by the judge today that she must attend another hearing later this month — �*with no ifs or buts, no going abroad' and no holidays. the street artist, banksy, has confirmed he is behind a new painting of two pelicans above a fish—and—chip shop in north—east london. it's the fifth banksy artwork to pop up in the capital since monday. one has already been stolen. they're all animal themed and include a goat in kew and an image of two elephants in chelsea. you're live with bbc news. in gaza, israeli troops launched a new assault on khan younis in southern gaza on friday. medics at the city's nasser hospital said a wave of israeli airstrikes killed at least 21 palestinians. israeli evacuation orders triggered an exodus of palestinians from the eastern districts of khan younis, where manyjust returned less than two weeks ago.

the un agency for palestinian refugees said on friday that an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 people have been forced to flee khan younis towards al—mawasi since thursday. al—mawasi is designated as a humanitarian zone. but it is already overcrowded by displaced families from across gaza. al—mawasi has also been the target of israeli strikes — most recently in july, when at least 90 palestinians were killed in a displacement camp. israel said that raid targeted a hamas military chief behind the october 7th attacks. israel has agreed to send a delegation to a new round of talks next week on a possible ceasefire deal with hamas that would also see remaining hostages released. hamas has yet to respond. i spoke with experienced conflict mediator and director of forward thinking, oliver mcternan. we see this push from the us, egypt and qatar to israel and hamas for talks next week. are

we getting to a place where agreement might be research for the first phase of this piece deal? i the first phase of this piece deal? ., , . , deal? i would sincerely hope, but i'm afraid _ deal? i would sincerely hope, but i'm afraid i'm _ deal? i would sincerely hope, but i'm afraid i'm very - but i'm afraid i'm very sceptical indeed. right from the beginning of this conflict, i've never thought netanyahu i've never thought neta nyahu was i've never thought netanyahu was serious in reaching a negotiation. he's been pursuing his war, which has seen the total demise of... even if that is to make gaza uninhabitable. quite frankly, i'm not hopeful. i think the pressure from the us, egypt and qatar is to try and offset the risks of this war escalating into a regional war. iran has said it will respond to the killing of

hanieyah in tehran, and ifear if they do respond, it will lead to an escalation. i think this is more an attempt to prevent the escalation into a regional war.— regional war. and all the while, regional war. and all the while. air— regional war. and all the while, air strikes - regional war. and all the while, air strikes are - while, air strikes are continuing in gaza. the un said today that there had been israeli attacks on schools used for shelters in recent days. dozens have been killed, including children. does that make reaching a deal even more difficult, notwithstanding what you're saying about benjamin netanyahu's commitment? i you're saying about benjamin netanyahu's commitment? i think it's a necessity — netanyahu's commitment? i think it's a necessity to _ netanyahu's commitment? i think it's a necessity to see _ netanyahu's commitment? i think it's a necessity to see a _ netanyahu's commitment? i think it's a necessity to see a dead - it's a necessity to see a dead end to this madness. everything will day, i see numerous short videos from people i know in gaza. it'sjust her videos from people i know in gaza. it's just her indents.

videos from people i know in gaza. it'sjust her indents. —— horrendous. it's not the sort of things we see on our mainstream media. they're so horrible. this war must, must end, and i think sadly, the reception that netanyahu got in congress has emboldened him. when you have a reception like that, it's difficult to see why he should stop, because he really feels he's got the backing of america behind him. as long as america's apply the bombs and the fuel to prosecute this war and the way he has been, i see no reason for him to hold a end to it. he nevertheless - to hold a end to it. he nevertheless said - to hold a end to it. he nevertheless said he will cristache a team of representatives. —— dispatch. do you think hamas can do the same now that their chief negotiator has been killed? that's a very good question. it will be very difficult to see.

they will still question the seriousness. i think it was the qatari prime minister himself when haniyeh was killed, saying he can't really be serious about negotiation and mediation if you killed the chief negotiator. again, we've seen since the beginning of this war israeli negotiators being dispatched, but it's almost rather simply saying it's almost been distracted from the horror of the reality that's going every day in gaza. it pretends, 0k, we're looking for and to negotiation. nothing since november has come from these side shots. if since november has come from these side shots.— these side shots. if you're not optimistic. — these side shots. if you're not optimistic, oliver, _ these side shots. if you're not optimistic, oliver, what - these side shots. if you're not optimistic, oliver, what can . these side shots. if you're not| optimistic, oliver, what can be done? what can offer a solution to this conflict into those in

that they are humanitarian situation?— that they are humanitarian situation? ., ., ., ., situation? catriona, time and a . ain, situation? catriona, time and auain, i situation? catriona, time and again. i said _ situation? catriona, time and again, i said i _ situation? catriona, time and again, i said i think— situation? catriona, time and again, i said i think there - situation? catriona, time and again, i said i think there is l again, i said i think there is one person, and that isjoe biden. he must have the moral courage — forget the political concerns and interests — but have the moral courage to say enough, no more arms, no more political protection for america. untilwe political protection for america. until we hear that unequivocally said, i thinkjoe biden, i think netanyahu will continue. from the beginning, he has total intent on pursuing this in military terms. in doing that, he's prolonging his premiership. the minute we have a cease—fire, that is also for him the day of accountability — why did october the 7th start? somewhat said that will

possibly be the end of his premiership. latest figures show that there have been more than 740 arrests in connection with the recent violence disorder in england and northern ireland. more than 300 people have been charged so far. on friday three men were jailed for stirring up hatred on social media. the prime minister has again stressed police should remain on "high alert" this weekend. with more, here's dominic casciani. 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.

latest figures show that there have been more 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 hotel. jailing jordan parlour, thejudge said he had although you said you 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 let's turn to some other important news around the world. a third arrest has been made in connection with the planned attacks on the taylor swift concerts in vienna, according to austria's interior minister. gerhard karner said an 18—year—old was detained on thursday night. he said the teen, who is believed to have pledged allegiance to the islamic state group, was an acquaintance of the main suspect — a 19—year—old austrian citizen. japan's prime minister, fumio kishida, has cancelled a planned trip to central asia after scientists warned the country needed to prepare for a possible major earthquake. following a seven—point—one magnitude tremor off

following a 7.1 magnitude tremor off the southern coast on thursday, japan's meteorological agency has issued its first ever mega—earthquake warning. residents living in the heavily populated region that faces the seismically active nankai trough have been told to be on alert. huge earthquakes along the nankai trough onjapan's pacific coast occur between every 90 and 200 years and are normally accompanied by tsunamis. do stay with us here on bbc news. i'm catriona terry, thanks for watching. bye—bye. hello there. heat and humidity is set to build as we go through the weekend, 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. 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, 2a 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. 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.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. i'm reece parkinson and i'm on a journey across the caribbean. in this programme, i'm

heading to the bahamas. it's considered one of the most beautiful places in the world, with dazzling marine life, breathtaking coral reefs and stunning white sands. renowned as a magnet for billionaires, bankers and beach lovers, it attracted nearly ten million tourists to its shores last year. but it's also an island nation, on the front line of climate change. whoa! it was the beacon of hope that we needed when the lighthouse came on because everybody knew, at that point, that there is hope. rising sea levels and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns are affecting everyday life here, so i'm leaving the sunbeds behind to find out first—hand how the people who live here are trying to save this stunning paradise.
