hello, i'm sumi somaskanda. thank you forjoining us. the governor of brazil's sao paulo state 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 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. relatives of the victims gathered at the airport from where the plane departed, anxiously awaiting more information of their loved ones.

brazil's air force is investigating the crash and said at a news conference that, at this point, there was no indication from the aricraft that there was an emergency. sao paulo security officials say 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. earlier, we spoke to a former member of brazil's air force, flavio mendonca. first, we want to get your reaction to this. thanks for having me. i would like to start by expressing my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the 61 people who lost their lives

in this tragic accident. my thoughts and prayers are with you during this incredibly difficult time. so as a former brazilian accident information and prevention centre, i'm confident that brazil will have, you know, the expertise to investigate this tragic aircraft accident and to get to the factors, so that in future, brazil can present similar accidents in the future. if brazil can present similar accidents in the future. if we look at the _ accidents in the future. if we look at the investigation - look at the investigation taking place right now, we know that civil defence is on the ground, police investigators. can you give us an idea from your experience what is going on in that investigation right now? what they will be looking for? 50 now? what they will be looking for? , , for? so they will be looking for? so they will be looking for data. — for? so they will be looking for data, especially - for? so they will be looking for data, especially data . for? so they will be looking l for data, especially data that is highly perishable, for example some fuel samples and, of course i think you mentioned a very important piece for this investigation process will be

the flight data recorder and the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder, so that the accident investigators have a much better picture of the moments leading to the accident. ~ . . , the moments leading to the accident. ~ . ., , ., �* the moments leading to the accident. . ., , ~ ., accident. we clearly don't know an hinu accident. we clearly don't know anything at _ accident. we clearly don't know anything at this _ accident. we clearly don't know anything at this moment - accident. we clearly don't know anything at this moment about| anything at this moment about what caused this plane to crash and we don't want to speculate, but we've seen these horrific images on social media of the plane spiralling out of control before it crashes. what do you think when you see those images?— think when you see those imaues? , �* , ., ., images? yes, i've seen and a coule images? yes, i've seen and a coume of _ images? yes, i've seen and a couple of those _ images? yes, i've seen and a couple of those images - images? yes, i've seen and a couple of those images in - couple of those images in social media and also on tv. and i've also seen, like, preliminary investigation process some people have mentioned that the weather was poon mentioned that the weather was poor, so that could have been a factor leading to some kind of stall... perhaps stalling, you know maybe this was... you know, it's too early to determine the probable cause of this accident but that's something the investigators will be looking at and trying

to get more information so they can have the final input. {131 can have the final input. of course- _ can have the final input. of course. and _ can have the final input. of course. and the _ can have the final input. of course. and the most - can have the final input. of - course. and the most important thing would _ course. and the most important thing would be _ course. and the most important thing would be the _ thing would be the accommodation to prevent future similar accidents.— similar accidents. absolutely. flavio, similar accidents. absolutely. flavio. what _ similar accidents. absolutely. flavio, what can _ similar accidents. absolutely. flavio, what can you - similar accidents. absolutely. flavio, what can you tell - similar accidents. absolutely. flavio, what can you tell us . flavio, what can you tell us about the safety record of this airline? and also this aircraft, which was a twin—engine turbo prop. so aircraft, which was a twin-engine turbo prop. so i'm not familiar— twin-engine turbo prop. so i'm not familiar with _ twin-engine turbo prop. so i'm not familiar with this _ twin-engine turbo prop. so i'm not familiar with this airline. i not familiar with this airline. i'm out of this industry for 10 years now. but i know that's a very safe aircraft model. many airlines are flying this model across the world. again, it's too early to say anything about probable cause. i think we do have to do more data collection and the next step would be the data analysis, maybe during the data analysis, maybe during the data analysis, maybe during the data analysis process, this could go babb to data collection because some more may be necessary. i've seen on tv in brazil that the aircraft

accident investigators were able to find the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder and the flight data recorder — that's two very important pieces of, like, elements to this accident investigation process. absolutely. they're hoping those will provide further clues. 0ne those will provide further clues. one more question — for those not familiar with flying in brazil itself, how good is the safety record for airlines in brazil?— in brazil? it's a very safe airline industry. - in brazil? it's a very safe airline industry. brazil. in brazil? it's a very safe | airline industry. brazil is, you know, it's among the top safest nations all across the world, it's a safe country for flying. 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 sudzja, which is home to a nuclear plant. the un nuclear agency is urging 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.

and for more, i'm joined by elina beketova, democracy fellow at the center for european policy analysis. elina, very good to have you on bbc news tonight. it appears the ukrainians have seized the initiative in a way with this cross—border attack, this incursion into kursk. what impact do you think this is having on the conflict? thank ou so having on the conflict? thank you so much _ having on the conflict? thank you so much for— having on the conflict? thank you so much for having - having on the conflict? thank you so much for having me. i having on the conflict? thank. you so much for having me. at this time, we have more questions than answers, as the ukrainian government and the general staff of ukraine have not commented yet, so we don't know the aims or implications and we don't want to speculate. however, as you showed, various sources report that ukrainian troops have advanced up to 30km into russian territories, which is 6 to 18 miles. this could be a tactical move to distract russian forces and seize the initiative unexpectedly, while russian forces advance on the donetsk front, as we just saw

in the package, and well 1a people were killed and 43 injured, and yesterday the russian forces dropped a glide bomb a settlement there killing two people and injuring 11 others. ukrainian forces might have counter—attacked elsewhere. so attacking the occupied kherson region is very hard right now because of the significant russian troops over there and the need to cross the dnipro river. however, if it is confirmed, in terms of the kursk region, it may show us that ukrainians can have this tipping point again and it can give the optimistic spark that ukrainians can win this war and they can conduct counter—offensives. they can conduct counter-offensives. , ., counter-offensives. this would a - ear counter-offensives. this would appear to _ counter-offensives. this would appear to be — counter-offensives. this would appearto be a _ counter-offensives. this would appear to be a pretty _ counter-offensives. this would appear to be a pretty serious i appear to be a pretty serious escalation of an incursion into russian territory. what do you think the impact is at this point for towns and villages along the border, both in ukraine and in russia? well, thank you —

ukraine and in russia? well, thank you so _ ukraine and in russia? well, thank you so much _ ukraine and in russia? well, thank you so much for- ukraine and in russia? well, j thank you so much for asking ukraine and in russia? well, i thank you so much for asking it but according to ukrainian allies, we heard the deputy press secretary today who told that ukraine is taking action to protec themselves in the kursk region. we heard ukrainians are trying to fight and putting enormous pressure on russia and this allows ukraine to strike russia with american—made weapons. if it's related to cross—border attack from russian forces. also the same ukrainians heard from the german side. they basically stressed that ukraine has the right to self—defence and right now, we understand that every day russian forces attack ukraine and even before being on the air here, i checked the latest news and kherson is under attack again and again. ukrainian territory is being sheued ukrainian territory is being shelled extensively every day. so if it is true and it is confirmed by the general staff of ukraine afterwards, it may

say that ukrainians can take the initiative and can also potentially have the arguments in future negotiations if they ever happen. 50 in future negotiations if they ever happen-— ever happen. so it's a little bit strategic _ ever happen. so it's a little bit strategic as _ ever happen. so it's a little bit strategic as well - ever happen. so it's a little bit strategic as well when l ever happen. so it's a little i bit strategic as well when we talk about e ins. what happens if ukraine is not able to hold this line in russia? what is the strategy here? is it to launch this incursion and then pull back?— pull back? well, it's a good question — pull back? well, it's a good question but, _ pull back? well, it's a good question but, as _ pull back? well, it's a good question but, as i - pull back? well, it's a good question but, as i have - pull back? well, it's a good l question but, as i have said, we don't have the official general staff information at this point so we're waiting for it and all the analysts and journalists are checking official websites right now but i feel that it has a psychological effect because it has a destabilising effect on the kremlin leadership and in the kremlin leadership and in the coming days, if the ukrainian army remains in these positions or continues to advance, we will see more and more k0s and the general of the caucus in russia's strategy and it will give huge optimism to ukrainians but it's very hard

to predict what will happen in the next few days. {iii to predict what will happen in the next few days. of course, es. so the next few days. of course, yes- so i _ the next few days. of course, yes. so i think— the next few days. of course, yes. so i think we _ the next few days. of course, yes. so i think we have - the next few days. of course, yes. so i think we have to - the next few days. of course, | yes. so i think we have to wait for official _ yes. so i think we have to wait for official information. - yes. so i think we have to wait for official information. and i for official information. and one more — for official information. and one more question - for official information. and one more question before we have to go. what about the general state of the battlefield in ukraine? i mean what does this incursion into russia tell us about where things stand elsewhere? well, unfortunately, _ things stand elsewhere? well, unfortunately, as _ things stand elsewhere? well, unfortunately, as you - things stand elsewhere? well, unfortunately, as you have - things stand elsewhere? well, | unfortunately, as you havejust shown, the donetsk region is being shelled. there were similar events in march, in june, in august and we're not just talking tens of people. we're talking about thousands of people who have to get everything together and move somewhere else in ukranian—controlled territory. this is the reality for ukrainians today. this means that russian forces are unfortunately shelling on the donetsk front and even the suma region is under extensive fire every day! we have to leave it

there. thank you so much for joining us tonight on bbc news. thank you so much for having me. the israeli military confirmed on friday 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 (boxed tx) the attack and training' of hamas fighters. the attack comes amid heightened tension in the region after iran vowed a response agasint israel after the killing of hamas leader ismail haniyeh in tehran last week. israel has not commented on that attack. israel will 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 hasn't responded yet. 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. a california man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for repeatedly attacking police during the pro—trump riot on the us capitol injanuary 2021. the sentence handed down to david dempsey is the second longest for any of the nearly 1,500 people charged for participating in the storming of the capitol. the assault left five people dead and 140 police officers injured. prosecutors said dempsey used flag poles, pepper spray, broken pieces of furniture, and anything else he could get his hands on as weapons

against the police. 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. the presumptive democratic presidential nominee kamala harris held a rally in phoenix, where she wasjoined by her running mate tim walz. their campaign says more than 15,000 people attended the event. during her address, ms harris spoke about immigration policy, one of the biggest concerns for voters in arizona. arizona senator mark kelly spoke on stage. senator kelly was one of the finalists to be kamala harris's running mate, but he praised her choice, governor walz. vice—president harris is on a whistle—stop tour of some of the most closely contested states and is aiming to capitalise on a surge in the polls. further north, her republican rival donald trump is set to appear at an event in montana on friday night. his supporters gathered early for the event, which is taking place in bozeman. mr trump had to change planes in billings, after his aircraft had a mechanical issue. the former president is in montana to support

tim sheehy, who is running for a key us senate seat. here's some of what vice—president harris had to say at her rally. 0urcampaign, our 0ur campaign, our campaign, is about two different visions for our nation. 0ne — ours — focused on the future. the other focused on the past. and, arizona, we — we — fight for the future. cheering for more on where the presidential race stands, i spoke to susan platt, former chief of staff to presidentjoe biden when he was vp. and ron bonjean, former spokesman for then us house speaker dennis hastert as well as chief of staff to senate republican conference ron, iwant ron, i want to start with you, because we are still waiting for donald trump to take the stage in montana. this is very

much a red state. he's supporting a senate candidate in a pretty competitive race there. do you think we are going to soon see donald trump crisscrossing some of these battle ground states as well, just as his vice—presidential pick, jd vance, has done? i don't want to assume he will absolutely do that. i think please in montana to support the senate candidate there that's running against senator john tester who is, you know, it's a toss—up and he's in the race of his life, so that will help the senate get the senate majority, it but it would be very politically wise of donald trump to get back on the campaign trailand start campaign trail and start visiting these battle ground states, because the polling has him now tied even with kamala harris, when, you know, before he was leading againstjoe biden. so it would be very smart for him to get moving. we did see that press conference he held earlier in the week but that's different from the big rallies that kamala harris and tim walz have been holding.

sussan, coming to you, we saw a big crowd again for those two, this time in arizona. how optimistic are you that kamala harris and tim walz could win arizona? the biden team had essentially stopped talking about arizona as a possibility? well, thank you for having me. it's well, thank you for having me. it's been — well, thank you for having me. it's been a _ well, thank you for having me. it's been a tremendous week in democratic politics as well as with— democratic politics as well as with donald trump and his insane _ with donald trump and his insane press conference. but i'll insane press conference. but i'll tell— insane press conference. but i'll tell you the differences in the _ i'll tell you the differences in the two campaigns couldn't be more — in the two campaigns couldn't be more clear. nevada and arizona. _ be more clear. nevada and arizona, my understanding is, two new— arizona, my understanding is, two new polls came out showing harris _ two new polls came out showing harris and — two new polls came out showing harris and walz beating donald trump — harris and walz beating donald trump by two or three points. so trump by two or three points. 50 i _ trump by two or three points. 50 i think— trump by two or three points. so i think all these things are in play — so i think all these things are in play i_ so i think all these things are in play. i think what's happening here is you've got a campaign _ happening here is you've got a campaign that's full ofjoy and the future versus a campaign versus— the future versus a campaign versus the grumpy old man who is unravelling for 93 press minutes— is unravelling for 93 press minutes at a press conference at that— minutes at a press conference at that gaudy mausoleum called mar—a—lago and i think you have two people — one who my

that abc debate with two candidates on stage and we're going to finally hear at some point from kamala harris. we're going to hear unscripted words from her. we need more media interviews from here. with he need less teleprompter and that's what's galvanising everyone. she's talking in great sound bites at these rallies which are tremendous, they are tremendously attended. i'm not taking away from that but she's got to start showing she can be a leader without the teleprompter. that's whatjoe teleprompter. that's what joe biden teleprompter. that's whatjoe biden focused on was the teleprompter. we need to see her ex—temp rainously expressed her ex—temp rainously expressed her ideas and policies. she's also acting like a candidate as opposed to the vice—president and creating this as a choice instead of a referendum on the administration. she has a lot to answerfor and she administration. she has a lot to answer for and she does have to answer for and she does have to start answering those questions soon. to start answering those ruestions soon. ,, , ., ., questions soon. sussan, what do ou think questions soon. sussan, what do you think of _ questions soon. sussan, what do you think of that? _ questions soon. sussan, what do you think of that? because - you think of that? because there's been criticism of kamala harris not having done

the third arrest in connection with the attack plot — an 18—year—old iraqi citizen. authorities said the plot was inspired by the islamic state group and al-qaida. 0ur bethany bell has the reaction from vienna. austria's interior minister says a third person has been arrested in connection with the planned attacks on the taylor swift concerts in vienna. he's an 18—year—old iraqi citizen and he is understood to be an acquaintance of the main suspect in these planned attacks, the 19—year—old austrian citizen who was arrest in a town just south of vienna on wednesday, a 17—year—old austrian citizen has also been arrested. and there's widespread shock here in austria that an attack like this was being considered. meanwhile, the city of vienna is full of disappointed taylor swift fans and the city has been trying to lay on compensations for them — a number of museums in the city have offered them free entry,

including the mozart and strauss museums — of course, the superstars of their eras. as well as that, a number of restaurants and cafes are offering people with tickets discounts and in general people are saying to me that... fans i have met are saying they're very disappointed but they understand that security has to come first. 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 or 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.

voice-over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. hello! i'm katie razzall. this week — what role has online misinformation played in fuelling riots across parts of the uk? and an update on the ongoing saga of the netflix hit show

baby reindeer. it's all coming up on the media show. commotion parts of the uk have seen looting and race—based attacks, some centred around hotels housing asylum seekers — scenes the british prime minister condemned as "far—right thuggery". i guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online. what's it been like to cover these riots? i've been speaking to the editor of the liverpool echo newspaper, maria breslin. yeah, i mean shocking and shameful scenes, really. it's very difficult to understand how the deaths of three little girls can be hijacked and this is the end result.

we knew that there were protests in liverpool
