thank you forjoining us. the governor of brazil's sao paulo state is calling for 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. - it was scary, but thank god there were no victims. it seems that 62 people in the plane were the real victims. brazil's air force is investigating the crash and said at a news conference friday night that, at this point, there was no indication from the aircraft 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 defence 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. our south america correspondent tells me what we know so far. there is an investigation under way to try to establish what went wrong and what leather is plain to notjust crash but spiral out of the sky in such a dramatic and sudden way. what we know so far from officials is it was flying normally until about 1:20pm and then it minutes later it lost contact with air traffic control unit sao paulo where it was due to be landing in the international airport. what is also strange

at the moment is there was apparently no reports of any kind of emergency or trouble the plane was in, they had not reported going through bad weather conditions, so there is very little information that officials have at the moment about what could have gone wrong. as you mentioned, the key to this is looking at the black box to try to establish any life communications that might�*ve been hard on board or any kind of issues that may have been experienced by the crew and pilot before the plane that crashed. at the moment what we do know for definite is that all 57 passengers and the crew members who are on board have tragically been killed. nobody in the surrounding area has so far been reported injured or killed by certainly many feel lucky to be alive after the dramatic scenes we saw of the planet crashing into the ground in a big cloud of black smoke and flames into what is a residential area. the airline has published a full list of names of those who were

on board, all tragically killed in the accident. we know two of them were medical students at a cancer hospital, a trainee doctor there who are on board the flight and among those who were killed. the hospital and its friends and relatives have pay tribute to the individuals and certainly we can expect more tributes to poor min the coming days. the president has paid tribute as well to the victims, he held a minutes silence at a conference his breakout and also said his solidarity was with all the families and friends of those impacted. emergency services are still at the scene, some distressing footage which we cannot broadcast of some of those bodies around the scene of those who are impacted by this tragic accident. we of those who are impacted by this tragic accident.— this tragic accident. we will continue — this tragic accident. we will continue to _ this tragic accident. we will continue to update - this tragic accident. we will continue to update on - this tragic accident. we will continue to update on the l continue to update on the details of the story. russia's war in ukraine is now drawing 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 1,000 ukrainian troops are involved. reports suggest they could be operating up to 20 miles inside russia, with intense fighting, close to the town of suja, which is home to a nuclear plant. the un nuclear agency has urged russia and ukraine to exercise maximum restraint. these pictures, verified by the bbc, show a 15—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 1a 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. 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. meanwhile inside ukraine, emergency services say a russian missile strike on a supermarket in the eastern donetsk region killed 1a people and wounded at least a0 others. james waterhouse reports from kyiv. 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 - where it hits with its missiles. 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. joining me now is bill taylor, who served as us ambassador to ukraine from 2006 to 2010. always good to have you with us. i want to start with the ukrainian incursion into russian territory, the reports we see is they moved fairly deep into russian territory. what do you make of this incursion that is now in its fourth day?— incursion that is now in its fourth day? incursion that is now in its fourth da ? ., ._ ., fourth day? the fourth day and it was a big _ fourth day? the fourth day and it was a big surprise _ fourth day? the fourth day and it was a big surprise for - fourth day? the fourth day and it was a big surprise for the - it was a big surprise for the russians. how the ukrainians were able to achieve the surprise will be one of the big stories. you have reported they did not see it coming, they

scrambled, vladimir putin was shocked and calling his people together. the surprise the ukrainians achieved will help them with this assault, this counteroffensive against the russians. they could go deep into russia and make it clear that they can win this war. that would be my question, what do you think the aim of this incursion is? is there a strategic aim or resist to send a message? i strategic aim or resist to send a message?— a message? i think it is both. strateaic a message? i think it is both. strategic aim _ a message? i think it is both. strategic aim and _ a message? i think it is both. strategic aim and a _ a message? i think it is both. strategic aim and a message | strategic aim and a message being sent. the message is we can win this war, the ukrainians, we can attack into russia, we can reach their lines, we can counter them. what they try to send reinforcements, and the ukrainians attractors reinforcements on the way in there is a strong message there, the strategic message though is that the ukrainians will tell the russians with his

invasion, this cross—border operations, can win. they can win levels that they cannot wait out, they have to continue the fight. the europeans will continue support. the americans will continue to support. the messages vladimir putin will have to look for a way out. looking at what is happening on the ground in russia, the ukrainians are using donated us and german weapons. what do you think the reaction and retaliation will be from vladimir putin was clearly surprised by the attack? he will shoot — surprised by the attack? he: will shoot what he did today, shoot missiles at supermarkets, at schools and hospitals. vladimir putin attacks, the russian attack civilian targets, and that is what he will continue to do. he cannot win on the battlefield, that was made clear to him, all he can do is shoot at civilian targets. can do is shoot at civilian targete— can do is shoot at civilian tar: ets. :, :, targets. until now we have seen, despite _ targets. until now we have seen, despite the -

to have you — the ukrainians attacking. great to have you on _ the ukrainians attacking. great to have you on bbc— the ukrainians attacking. great to have you on bbc news, - the ukrainians attacking. great. to have you on bbc news, thank you forjoining us. with less than 90 days remaining until the us presidential election, the two rivals for the white house are on the campaign trail, drumming up support. crowds of kamala harris supporters are waiting for the presumptive democratic presidential nominee to appear at a rally in phoenix. vice president harris has been on a whistle—stop tour of some of the most closely—contested states and is aiming to capitalise on a surge in the polls. she's due to appear on stage shortly with her running—mate tim walz. further north, her republican rival donald trump is due to appear at an event in montana on friday night. his supporters gathered early for the event, which will go ahead in bozeman later on friday. in the last few hours mr trump's plane diverted to the city of billings, reportedly due to a mechanical issue. the former president is in montana to support tim sheehy, who is running for a key us senate seat. abc news confirmed it will moderate the first debate between the presidential candidates as agreed on september 10.

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. parlour encouraged his 1,500 followers to do it again.

staff and residents were terrified, managers had to lock down the site and please send in five teams to protect the hotel. jailing parlour for 20 years, thejudge said he had been motivated by his anger over immigration. ——20 months. 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. 0therwise, why post the 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'd 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.

today he signalled he may take action. this is not a law—free 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 seenjailings, among others. more than 40 people have been convicted. notjust racist extremists, counter protesters too. 0therjailers 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. taking you back to some of the images we write you. this is phoenix, arizona where you at a waltz on stage, a huge rally thatis waltz on stage, a huge rally that is being held for kamala harris and its him it was in arizona, a key battleground state that both democrats and republicans are keen to win in the presidential election and kamala harris and tim walz on a tour of battleground stays at the moment. they have been painting their campaign is a look to the future, donald trump is a look to the past and we will check in to bozeman to montana where supporters of

donald trump are waiting for him to take the stage. we will keep our eye on both of those rallies tonight and bring to there. now to some other news. the israeli military confirmed on friday that it killed a senior hamas official in the southern lebanese coastal city of sidon. military officials accused the official — samer al—hajj — of being "responsible for the recruitment and training" of hamas fighters. the attack comes amid heightened tension in the region after iran vowed a response against israel after the killing of hamas leader ismail haniyeh in tehran last week. israel has not commented on that attack. 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. the state department said antony blinken spoke to israel defence minister, reiterating the escalation of tensions in the escalation of tensions in the middle east was in no parties interest while stressing the need for a

ceasefire in gaza. 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 injuly, 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. earlier, my colleague caitriona perry spoke with the chief humanitarian affairs officer at care, deepmala mahla, who is in central gaza.

the situation is nothing what we have ever seen before as humanitarians. yesterday we were driving through the evacuation order when people in eastern part of khan younis were asked to evacuate at short notice one more time, and it was almost surreal, absolutely heartbreaking. hundreds of people walking with whatever they had with plastic bags, garbage bags and sometimes i looked at a family and i was like something is not quite right, why is this dad walking with three children, where is the month, is she here already gone? then you see the elderly, i remember seeing a two and a half —year—old girl, walking with a baby carrier, maybe it was her own, elderly and disabled people, mattresses, small children carrying much more than what their body weight. a lot had no issues. children are wearing adult

shoes. i learned today that shoes. i learned today that shoes are not in supply. the weather was so hot, everybody was sweating and i looked at the phrases of these children, they are not able to open their eyes because the sun is so strong. it was like a flower that we have left out in the open without any water to prevent — or protected from the sun. i kept thinking went to the last eat? where will they sleep tonight? how many times have we done this before? when they go to sleep, what will be their last image in front of their last image in front of their eyes? there was an absolute sense of exhaustion, fatigue and helplessness, we saw the humanitarian needs are hugely massive, and as a humanitarian this is not the first conflict sorry i have seen. but absolutely this is one of the most worst. speaking ofthe one of the most worst. speaking of the evacuation _ one of the most worst. speaking of the evacuation orders - one of the most worst. speaking of the evacuation orders they - of the evacuation orders they came for khan younis and many

other parts of gaza, where are people able to move to? where can we move? _ people able to move to? where can we move? absolutely, - people able to move to? where can we move? absolutely, this| can we move? absolutely, this is the question which was on everybody�*s lips. we ask us to evacuate, but you were? mostly we saw people setting up tents, informal temporary shelters, groups of people. we saw some of them today, one was what they call a fallout shelter where there was about 50 families, another one with 600 or 700 tents, it was hugely overcrowded. we drove around and walked around the course line and the entire coastal town maybe 10—15 kilometres, rows and rows of tents and plastic and on the beach by the sea the weather is not only hot but very humid. a lot of people said it is practically impossible to be in the tent

during the day. we heard of children hurting so much skin disease because of the heat and humidity in the sand and the ability to get treatment or even to wash properly. people are just in hugely crowded conditions and the incinerators are not working so garbage is a huge issue. the frequency and the diversity of the tide which people have is extremely limited. the white house says it shared intelligence with austria to prevent planned attacks on taylor swift's now—cancelled concerts in vienna. it comes as austria's interior minister confirmed the third arrest in connection with the attack plot: an 18—year—old iraqi citizen. authorities said the plot was inspired the islamic state group and al-qaida. 0ur bethany bell has the reaction from vienna. the interior minister of austria says a third person has now been arrested in connection with the planned attacks on the

taylor swift concert in vienna. he is an 18—year—old iraqi citizen and understood to be an acquaintance of the main suspect in these planned attacks, the 19—year—old austrian citizen who was arrested in the south of vienna on wednesday. a —year—old austrian citizen has also been arrested. there is widespread shock here in austria that an attack like this was being considered. meanwhile, the city of vienna is full of disappointment, taylor swift fans and the city has been trying to lay on the compensations for them was a number of museums and the city have offered them a free entry, including the mozart and strauss museums. the superstars of their areas. as well as that, a number of restaurants and cafe is offering people with tickets a discount and in

general people are saying to me that they are disappointed but they do understand that security has to come first. the street artist, banksy, unveiled yet another animal—themed artwork on friday the fifth to appear in london this week. he confirmed on social media he was behind the image of two pelicans in north—east london. one, of a wolf, has already been stolen. the others include an image of a goat in kew and an image of two elephants in chelsea. stay with us here on bbc news. 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. 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 northwest, but it will stay away during the daylight hours. 16—23 degrees likely in scotland. highest values, though, of 28 — 82 fahrenheit — in the southeast.

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 southeast, 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. 0ne 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.

v0|ce—0ver: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme.

this week we have a sustainability special as we revisit some of our favourite sustainable stories from the last few months. yes, we're up, up, up and away. this plane can stay up in the air almost indefinitely. we're under the ocean with a 3d printed sea wall. sustainable leather, anyone? lara's sniffed out a material that's made of beer. doesn't smell of much. a bit like a new car, maybe. and if you don't fancy driving, you could go by rail, where paul's tracking wildlife beside the tracks. love a train.
