day to repel a large—scale incursion by ukrainian forces. the kremlin is painting the fighting as an anti—terrorist operation. the king has called for unity and has offered a message of thanks to the police and emergency services, for restoring peace to areas affected by violent disorder across the uk. more than 740 people have been arrested since the outbreak of widespread disorder. and it was gold the olympic games continue today — with a and it whopping 39 gold medals up for grabs. and a welcome if you have joined us

that makes it the busiest day of olympics action since 2000. in yesterday's results, team gb picked up another six medals. there was a surprise gold for toby roberts in boulder and lead climbing, and katarina johnson—thompson picked up silver in the heptathlon — herfirst olympic medal. 0ur sports correspondent patrick geary reports. somewhere in between the elation and exhaustion, katarina johnson—thompson realised finally she was an olympic silver—medallist. she lay just a few seconds from gold, but a world away from the pain of previous games. i'm just so relieved, i'm so happy, i'm so, so happy that i've got an olympic medal to add to my collection, it's the only one i didn't have. it's been so hard getting to this point, getting back to this point, so i am so relieved. injuries have robbed her of these memories before, but this time her body wouldn't buckle. after the long jump and a season's

bestjavelin throw, she knew she would need to beat belgium's nafi thiam by more than eight seconds in the final event, the 800 metres. kjt threw everything at trying to run away from the greatest heptathlete of her generation. commentator: this is a great run | from katarina johnson-thompson, | it stops for her about 2.045. that was the fastest she had ever run it, but thiam was just too close behind. commentator: nafi thiam will take the gold medal, i she will take her third successive heptathlon gold. at one point katarina johnson—thompson didn't know if she would ever compete again. now her games has ended, if not quite in victory, then in her own personal glory. gold was within reach for the women's ax100m relay team as well, and they were hurtling towards it the way dina asher—smith started. but in the rain, the changeovers were messy. fortunately, the last leg was neita. commentator: it will be -

sha'carri richardson, usa win it, great britain the silver medal. that relay silver was followed a few minutes later by a bronze from the men, including zharnel hughes who missed the 200 metres through injury. staying on track, an astonishing late burst from elena barker earned a silverfor her and her teammate mia evans in the women's madison, while jack carlin�*s route to bronze took a strange detour into competitor harrie levreysen. no punishment for carlin, who came through in the deciding race to earn a medal. commentator: bronze for great britain. - but only one british athlete climbed to the very top of the mountain yesterday. toby roberts has spent much of his 19 years trying to work out how to get there. the boulder and lead final requires problem—solving, strength and skill. with this climb, roberts touched gold. but he would have to watch the attempt of the favourite,

sorato anraku, nicknamed the 0ctopus. at the crucial moment he lost suction. commentator: he's off! it is a gold medal to toby roberts! a moment of a lifetime, celebrated with his dad, who built him a climbing wall in his garden during lockdown. everyone can have a good plan but to implement it like he has and show up every day and fight as hard as he has, that's what makes it happen. he is so diligent and driven and, yeah, he has made this happen. toby roberts is britain's first 0lympic gold—medallist in sport climbing. he has shown a generation the rocky path to the top. toby roberts. the 19—year—old, nicknamed the terminator, has become britain's first olympic champion in boulder and lead climbing. he told our colleagues on bbc breakfast, naga munchetty and charlie stayt , how it felt to win gold. it still hasn't quite sunk in. it's the morning after and i'm still absolutely buzzing. now look, i want to know how you celebrated last night because these are the important things.

we'll talk about the sport in a moment, but what was last night like? i haven't actually fully celebrated yet. i had a nice glass of champagne afterwards, but it's been pretty hectic since since the competition. i'm excited to get up today and then watch the women's competition, actually. then i'm sure there'll be celebrations to come later today or tomorrow. that sounds very restrained. very sensible. when you're climbing, tell me... we saw your face when you were waiting to see sorato anraku's climb and he was ever so close, wasn't he? what was it like when you realised he'd failed? it was just absolute disbelief and shock. i'm not, like, everwishing someone to fall off the wall. it's more you want everyone to give their best in the competition. you want to win it on level terms. but absolutely, once he fell off and i realised that i won the gold, it was just a huge flood of emotions and it's like, wow, i've

just achieved my dream. i'm an olympic champion. amazing when. the women's has just ended we are told... team gb�*s has ended fifth. also yesterday, the algerian boxer imane khelif who has been embroiled in a gender eligibility row at the games, won gold in the women's welterweight category. the 25 year—old beat the chinese world champion yang liu after dominating the fight. at the games has proven controversial after both were disqualified from last year's world championships — by the international

boxing association — forfailing to meet gender eligibility criteria. the international olympic committee's president, thomas bach, has defended their participation and has described the row as a politically motivated culture war. i mention that there were 39 gold medals. the czech republic has just won gold in the men's kayak... the diving is currently on bbc one if you want to follow that. we have two tea m you want to follow that. we have two team gb competitors in that fingers crossed, that they might bring home medals. coverage... the final day tomorrow with a closing ceremony. let's get more on the disorder that has been playing out in towns and cities across england and northern ireland. king charles has praised the way "community spirit" and "compassion" have countered the "aggression and criminality".

he says he hopes "shared values of mutual respect and understanding, will continue to strengthen and unite the nation". a library that was set on fire during the violence in liverpool, had served one of the most deprived communities in the city. well now, hundreds of thousands of pounds have been raised to rebuild it, as phil mccann reports. this was the moment rioters tried to destroy the hub of this community. i seen it online, i seen flames on the inside of our amazing building, so i was just devastated. and this is the spellow hub today. normally, you'd come here to borrow a book, get help from the council, go tojob workshops, and there were classes like these for children. they've had to move down the road. such a loss... kelly runs the classes. it's their sense of community, it's somewhere where they can come and belong and just be children. we haven't got that much money in this community, so everything that we have we look after. so to see this is really shocking. well, the damage here might look devastating,

but it is much less severe in the rest of this facility. there is still a lot of smoke damage, though, and so it might take quite some time to get this place back online for this community. two online fundraising campaigns will help. together, they've raised nearly £250,000. and they've had donations from authors like nigella lawson, matt haig and the children's laureate frank cottrell—boyce. liam, who's a local school librarian, started one of them. i've been blown away by the response. i initially set a target for £500, aimed specifically at family and friends. donations have come from around the world, but also from this community in the streets around everton�*s goodison park. i think that just shows how close the community are in liverpool. when it actually matters, they are there for one another. thank you to everyone who's raised any money for it, and i hope it's put to good use and we get a bullet—proof library that no—one can get into.

the council here says the support is appreciated and humbling. phil mccann, bbc news, liverpool. since the unrest began almost two weeks ago, there have been more than 740 arrests, with more than 300 people charged in connection with the disorder. 118 people are now behind bars. yesterday, the first jail terms for encouraging unrest on social media were handed down to three men — tyler kay, richard williams and jordan parlour. 26—year—old kay was sentenced to three years and two months in prison for inciting racial hatred online. counter protesters also received sentences — sameer ali and adnan ghafoor said they had been provoked by anti—muslim insults in leeds before punching a group of men. the judge said that was no excuse. more sentences are expected to be handed down next week. katie barnfield has been to bolton to see how communities affected by the violence are trying to move on.

nearly a week on from the violence that gripped bolton, the town is still feeling the impact. that gripped bolton, the town several people have now been arrested after tiles, bottles and fireworks were thrown between two groups of rival protesters. but some business owners say its left people frightened to come here. rumours going through and my customer is scared, he don't come, and we very bad situation still. amran says the takings at his shoe shop are down 80% over the past week. how can i pay my rent and rates and, you know, business, everything? it's not i feel for personally, oh, he kills me, that's no problem. but the main thing, you kill my business. arif had to close his restaurant on sunday after rocks were thrown outside. it's been so quiet since, he's struggling to cover his rent. usually i have in the lunchtime over 200 customers and the breakfast

around 150 customers coming. but yesterday, before yesterday, three days ago, the market, the town centre, empty. the door is open, but no people. the week's disorder across the north west comes at a time when many business owners are already struggling. the federation of small businesses say for some it will be a difficult road to recovery. bear in mind some of these businesses are on really wafer thin margins. they've got high staff costs, they've got business rates to pay for, energy bills are still sky high, so this is just another cost to bear for them. for many it will be the final nail in the coffin, actually. greater manchester police are still looking for 12 people over the disorder that broke out here last sunday and say they want to reassure communities they have the resources in place to protect them from further disruption. i heard in the news now he takes a third cobra meeting. that's a good sign. it means the government is very seriously take this all concern.

i think in the market will come back quickly, like this, you know? so you feel hopeful? you feel positive? yes. local businesses here in bolton are just hoping that rumours of more protests this weekend don't come to pass. earlier, my bbc breakfast colleague, naga munchetty, spoke to the former chair of the criminal bar association, francis fitzgibbon kc for his assessment of the pace of the prosecutions. the speed with which the entire criminaljustice system has reacted has been extraordinary. you have to remember that there is currently a backlog of, i think, 76,000 cases waiting to get on in the crown court, at least. so they've had to push lots of other cases out of the way to make room for the emergency that the riots have generated in order to show people that this kind of behaviour will be dealt with very, very swiftly and very firmly. it's a tribute to all those

concerned in the system, from police to prosecutors to advocates to court staff to judges to probation officers, that they've been able to prioritise these cases very much against the odds, i think, because the system in general, as your viewers will probably know, is massively over capacity and has been starved of resources for a very long time. so how have the resources been able to be stretched for this? well, as far as the courts are concerned, they will have had to move other cases out of the way to make room for for these ones. so when they come back, one doesn't know, but they'll have to join the queue at some stage. but essentially, everyone has just gone that extra mile to make sure that these cases are dealt with at maximum speed. i suppose these are the ones, though, where people have pleaded guilty, so that makes it quicker. that's right.

those are the ones that really have been fast—tracked. i think people who are fighting their cases will have to wait. many of them have found themselves remanded in custody, so they're getting their first, possibly their first, or if not their first a taste of prison as a result of what they've been up to or what they've been charged with doing, i should say, in the course of these disturbances. the courts are currently listing cases in 2026, even in 2027. so there's no telling really when some of these people will be on trial. although i imagine that they'll want to again bump them up the list for the same reasons that they've been dealing with a guilty pleas very quickly. where do you sit on this? i mean, you will know, and you would have no doubt, as many of your colleagues have been being frustrated by seeing cases delayed for months, years, in terms of getting to course getting to courts. i'm thinking, you know,

we often speak about how long it takes for rape convictions to get through for rape trials to happen. how do we balance or how do you balance in your head looking at the urgency that has been made clear about setting an example and a zero tolerance approach to violence and thuggery, to actually people who are still waiting forjustice to be served? no one should think that the the usual slow pace of the process is due to idleness by anybody concerned. as i say, the system is working at or over capacity at present and this is a one off event being able to do things this quickly. if they wanted to speed the whole system up, it would require a massive amount of investment in people and resources. for example, the last

government sold off, i think, about half of the court buildings in the country. so at the very start of the process there's a squeeze on the amount of room that's available for cases to be heard. i think police numbers are now going up again, but a lot of people have left the profession of criminal law for one reason or another, partly because of burnout, because the workload has been so high, partly because the fees haven't really kept up with cost of living in lots of parts of the country. so there are all sorts of pressures that remain and that will continue to remain unless somebody realises that if you wantjustice to be done quickly and efficiently, you've got to put resources into it. if you've ever considered a career in nursing but are unable to move away to study, then our next story may be of interest to you. the nhs in torbay is teaming up with the open university, so that students in devon can study for a nursing degree

without the need to leave home. 0ur reporterjohn ayres has more. just relax your arm, my lovely. amanda michael is a mum of three and a student nurse studying for her nursing degree with the open university. she currently has a placement at torbay hospital, which means she can study and carry on with her normal life at the same time. my priority was my family. they come first. there's a of guilt when you are studying so i feel this is definitely manageable. it is a better balance. ifeel i can really, really embrace this experience but i am also there for my children. if they are poorly, i know i'm not too far from them, it is cost—effective. i am literally ten minutes away. i'm just going to take your blood pressure before you get out of bed. the nhs in torbay is now teaming up with the open university to provide a course where students can stay local. it means parents with children can take up the career without having

to go away to university or placements away from home which is currently the case. what we want to do is to be able to offer an opportunity for our local community, for people that live and work around torbay who may not be able to go to university because of, as i said, caring responsibilities or travel. this gives people the opportunity to work locally, to study locally, which hopefully, at the end of the three years, means they will want to stay in torbay and in our locality and it gives work to local people. the trust thinks this will appeal to those who previously thought nursing was not an option for them. studying through the open university has meant jessica 0sbourne could have a career change. something i always wanted to do for many, many years but i could not because i have family and my husband who's in the ambulance service works shifts as well so i needed somewhere that i could be local, did not have to travel too for placements and definitely was accessible as opposed to needing to go to a particular university, to a particular site.

the new courses start in september and are open to people who have a gcse in maths and english. john ayres, bbc news. we've just had a statement for the from the family of bebe king. they they go on to say that the outpouring of love and support for... has been... from the pink

lights illuminating and the pink balloons and flowers... we have been overwhelmed by the kindness and compassion shown to our family. the response from southport and even further afield has deeply touched the heart and we are so grateful to everyone who has reached out to us. we want to acknowledge our older daughter, who has witnessed the attack and managed to escape. she has shown such incredible courage and we are so proud of her. her resilience is testament to the loving bond she showed shared with her little sister. 0ur loving bond she showed shared with her little sister. our thoughts are also with everyone else involved in this tragedy and all those who were injured. we hope that they find strength and healing in the days ahead. and to the children who witness this terrible event, we send

our love and hope and we hope they can begin to heal surrounded by the love and compare —— care of those who love them. to the emergency services thank you. we will be forever grateful to the way you have helped us through this harrowing time. that statement from the family of bebe king. with the forecast for high temperatures over the weekend in many parts of the uk — many of us will be heading to the beach. but if you're a wheelchair user or have issues with your mobility, access to the seaside can often be frustratingly off—limits. however, a charity in fleetwood is helping to change that by offering specially adapted wheelchairs and facilities. well, at least the sun's trying to

poke out when i arrive in fleetwood. we're blessed with a fantastic and varied coastline here in the north—west, but all too often i'm limited in where i can go as a wheelchair—user. but i'm here in fleetwood today to meet a group of volunteers who are making the beach accessible and creating special memories. the charity was started in 2018. it aims to get everyone out and down the beach. so, mick, how are these different from normal wheelchair? this particular chair, it reclines. the legs go up as well so that we can put them in various different positions. the arms... mick dreamt up the idea when he saw a young wheelchair—user unable to get to the sea. the tyres themselves are very, very large. they're three pounds per square inch, which means that they can go across virtually all terrain. in you go. there are changing facilities as well, so it's easy to get ready and move across from one

wheelchair to another. we've got a sink that rises and falls, there's a privacy screen there and a complete shower unit as well, so that you can do everything you need to do in complete and utter privacy. over a thousand people so far have booked in and there's no age limit. what better way for irene to celebrate a century than a paddle in the sea? 0ne user has made a lasting impression. leighton. unfortunately, because of his lack of mobility and the fact that he was a wheelchair—user, he was never able to access the beach, so when i found here, it was a great thing to find and we were just able to transfer him from his own wheelchair into the wheelchairs that they provide here. then he was able to go onto the beach and into the water. and what was that water like? cold! but leighton really loved it and at one point we parked him in a stream that was running through and he just spent a long time in there, just looking down at the water.

he loved it. it meant so muchjust because the beach had never been accessible, so to be able to have those memories as a family and access to beach and the water, it wasjust really, really amazing memories. a month after his visit, leighton died. it is a very emotional place for me to visit. very, very special place for our family. what do you get from working with this service? tremendous satisfaction. just so lovely to see the smiles on people's faces, whether they be young or old. so many people have either never been on the beach before, or certainly haven't been on for the last 30, a0 years. we're all in tears sometimes, volunteers as well as the clients. it is lovely. and now it's time for me to get ready for the beach. joining me are matt and megan. it's just fantastic. we can get right up into the water.

we know that it's safe and it's comfortable and all these fantastic people help us and it's just brilliant. i don't know what i was thinking going shirtless into the sea, but... as a way of getting to enjoy the sea as a wheelchair—user, it's fantastic. if you're planning on coming down, make sure you book. mick and the team now hope to get everyone surfing. if that happens, i'm definitely coming back. now it's time for a look at the weather hello there it's been quite breezy further south we have much more cloud. through the rest of the weekend the temperatures are set to climb. a bit more sunshine around

and it will turn windy as well. these are the temperatures this afternoon. we're getting up to the mid 20s across southern areas. we are seeing more cloud here. the cloud for many will tend to break up overnight. it's about claire is cloudy and warm overnight... with clearer skies in the west of scotland and northern ireland down into wales it will be cooler than last night. temperatures as low as seven or 8 degrees. it will warm up in the sunshine. a southerly breeze will pick up and will tend to lift that mixed low cloud. with the wind is coming in from the south those temperatures are set to rise. a warmer day on sunday. but it is particularly warm across england and wales. the south—east could get close to 30 degrees later on in the day. it's been very hot in spain and that heat is pushing through france

and england and wales. it is going to be very hot for the closing ceremony of the olympics in paris. that heat is coming ahead of this area of low pressure which is destabilising the air. it's beginning to bring some thunderstorms overnight. it's beginning... that wetter weather mostly for the north. further south is looking dry this is where we have got the heat and humidity. it's likely to be the hottest day of the year so far could make 3a degrees. it's not hot everywhere. we have got the rain further north and west. that weather front gets pushed away and another one comes in from the atlantic. this one is going to bring some outbreaks of rain into western areas. ahead of that through the midlands and through the south it is still dry and still very warm.

temperatures 26 and 27 degrees just not quite as hot or humid as monday is going to be. well live from london, this is bbc news. israel strikes a school building sheltering displaced palestinians in gaza city, killing dozens. israel says the school contained a hamas command centre. king charles calls for unity after violent unrest in the uk over the past two weeks. the family of bebe king—— the six year old girl killed in the southport attack —
