gold for ethiopia's tamirat tola as he wins the men's marathon on the final weekend of the paris olympics. team usa face france in the blockbuster men's basketball final shortly. hello, i'm nicky schiller. we start this hour with the latest on the israel—hamas war. dozens of palestinians are reported to have been killed in an israeli air strike on a school housing displaced families in gaza city — with the hamas—run gaza government saying 11 children are among 93 people killed. these are some of the latest images from the scene — many are too graphic for us to show. the israeli military says around 20 hamas and islamichhad militants were operating from the building.

but a hamas spokesperson says the dead do not include a "single combata nt". the israeli military has confirmed that it's hit 14 schools since the 6th ofjuly. qatar is demanding an urgent international investigation, involving independent un experts, to establish the facts regarding the israeli military�*s targeting of schools and shelters for displaced persons. the health ministry in gaza says the deaths bring the total number of palestinians killed since the war began to 39,790. we've heard from some gazans at the scene of the strike. take a listen... these are people who have been repeatedly displaced from one place to another. there isn't any safe place. no place is safe. i received the news about the strike on the school and came to see what happened. you can't even recognise bodies. there were scattered

remains everywhere. the ones who were struck are displaced people taking shelter in the school. was it their fault? what have they done wrong? this is a shelter school, i housing innocent civilians who are at no fault. they were doing morning prayers when the israeli. authorities struck them. what have they done wrong? they are just innocent pe0ple praying - where is the world? why is it remaining silent . in the face of these crimes? where are the muslim and arab countries? l jenny hill is our correspondent in tel aviv. she updated me on the situation in gaza. it is being described as a horrific massacre. the agency that is now hamas run, says that there were three israeli missile strikes on the school

building this morning. we are hearing reports that people inside the building were using it as a shelter for displaced persons. they were at morning prayers when the attack happened. the israeli military has confirmed the attack and that the school building was being used as a hamas command centre. in a statement on social media, a spokesperson for the israeli defence force said that they believed around 20 hamas and islamicjihad militants were operating out of the compound and using it as a base for terrorist attacks. all of this has drawn a furious response from hamas. they said that it is a horrific crime and that the israeli military are fabricating lies in order to deliberately target civilians. they also say that this represents a dangerous escalation in the war.

this strike comes just days after a highly unusual move from egypt and qatar. they have urged strongly that both parties in this conflict get to the negotiation table and hammer out a hostage return and ceasefire deal. we have had statements from egypt and jordan in response to this, condemning this strike and saying that this reveals that in israel there is a lack of commitment to that peace process. it is the second time in two days that a school had been targeted. benjamin netanyahu has also said that since october the 7th his aim was to get rid of hamas in gaza. we have seen the israelis say that their efforts to dismantle hamas and go after senior commanders are ongoing. but it is really

looking at what has happened here in gaza over the last few weeks. we have seen a pattern emerging. we have seen israeli forces repeatedly targeting school buildings. that is drawing condemnation from the un. each time we have a strike like this, israel insists that these are legitimate targets and saying that the schools are housing either hamas command centres or harbouring its operators. they also insist that when they condemned the strikes they go out of their way to minimise loss of civilian life, using intelligence or precision missiles. i know you have been talking to people on the scene of this incident. ,

everywhere and blood everywhere. people were screaming on the ground. they were waiting for the ambulance and the rescue team to arrive at the place. i managed to speak to the director of the only function hospital in gaza city. he said that they had managed to identify about 70 people. the number is higher, but the bodies are too damaged for their relatives to identify them. gaza city is now witnessing two or three or four funerals for those who were killed

and people are taking the bodies from the hospital. i know the hospital very well. it is exactly opposite the cemetery. people are starting to do quick funerals. they are taking them to the nearby cemetery. this hospital is struggling to cope with the situation. most of the casualties are in a very serious condition. the corridors of the hospital are full. there is nothing they can do because they do not have the proper equipment to deal with such serious injuries. the director was arguing that people could be transferred to a hospital in the south of gaza. but for now, there's very little they

can do for those who were injured in the strike. can do for those who were in'ured in the strike. ., ~ ., ., ., , the strike. you know the area very well. the strike. you know the area very well- how — the strike. you know the area very well. how many _ the strike. you know the area very well. how many people _ the strike. you know the area very well. how many people would - the strike. you know the area very| well. how many people would have beenin well. how many people would have been in those buildings when the israeli rocket attack happened? the area itself israeli rocket attack happened? tue: area itself is israeli rocket attack happened? tte: area itself is highly populated. it has received many people who are displaced as well. the israeli had just completed destroying another area. this is an area that has not witnessed a ground operation. so the schools are still there. people were talking about at least 350 to 400 families. we are talking about over

to the plant. clashes have been raging since ukraine's army launched its surprise incursion on tuesday. reports suggest they could be operating up to 30 kilometres inside russia, with intense fighting close to the town of sudzha. frances reed reports. filmed from a dashboard, then uploaded to social media, abandoned and burned russian troop carriers in the kursk region. the person who posted these pictures has since been arrested but the bbc has verified the footage. ukrainian assaults on russia started on tuesday and seem to have come as a surprise. several villages have been seized. this footage from the ukrainian military is purported to show russian soldiers surrendering. reports suggest the focus is happening just north of ukraine with fighting thought to be concentrated near the town of sudzha. moscow says up to 1000 ukrainian troops are involved in a region

which contains a nuclear plant. the un nuclear agency has urged restraint but the astonishing images of russianjets bombing russian territory seem to run counter to the kremlin's official narrative, that the war in ukraine has been going to plan. president putin holding a meeting with his security council. it is calling the ukrainian incursion terrorism. and russia is now bringing in reinforcements. but no act goes unpunished. a russian missile attack on a supermarket in the eastern donetsk region has proved fatal. although it is not clear whether it was a direct response to ukraine's cross—border assault. anya was there. translation: we started climbing out of the window, she says. _

this is where the country's supreme court is. but the protesters were determined to keep their march going and so they have actually gone through the barricades that the army have put up, and they are now roaming the premises of the supreme court. remember, their demand was to have the chiefjustice from the supreme court removed for what they believe was the supreme court's tacit approval of sheikh hasina's use of violence against the people. most aren't unexpected as we head through the weekend. there will be pressure the links by tuesday. we
