3:30 pm
russia has imposed strict security measures in border areas. meanwhile, three people have been killed in separate russian missile strikes in the donetsk and kharkiv regions of ukraine. the family of bebe king — the six—year—old girl killed in the southport attack — pay tribute to their daughter. they said her sister witnessed the attack and managed to escape. and dozens of gold medals are up for grabs on the penultimate day of the paris olympics — with team usa facing france in the blockbuster men's basketball final. hello, i'm azadeh moshiri. welcome back. let's get more now on the dozens of deaths in an israeli air strike on a school housing displaced families in gaza city. the al—ahli baptist hospital says 70 bodies that it's received so far have been identified. the total number of those killed
3:31 pm
is expected to be higher. motasem a dalloul is an independentjournalist based in gaza associated with the middle east eye outlet. he described what he saw at the scene — and a warning that his description is graphic. when i went to the scene, it was four hours after the attack. i saw pools of blood. i saw parts of bodies. small body parts scattered everywhere in the area. people are looking for body parts in nearby homes and in the street. the smell of blood is very, very difficult and makes you vomit. i saw people screaming for the rest of their relatives. i saw a mother beating, slapping her face because of the
3:32 pm
loss of her eldest son. and she said that he left seven orphans — seven children who are still behind. when i went to the hospital, i saw wounded people from this incident, from this attack, lying on the ground. there's no beds, there's no doctors working on them. and then i saw people undergoing surgeries without anaesthesia because of the severe shortage of medical equipment and medicine. that was an eyewitness journalist in
3:33 pm
gaza. our middle east analyst, sebastian usher, had more on the international reaction to the attack. he says essentially that hamas must stop its activities and israel must act according to humanitarian law. but his main message, and this is the message that we'll hear from western countries, is that ceasefire talks must essentially take place and that a ceasefire and the release of hostages must happen as soon as possible. that's the only way to extricate israel and the palestinians from the situation. ithink, interestingly, talking with ceasefire talks, i mean, two of the main mediators, egypt and qatar, were very quick to react. egypt — the foreign ministry said that actions like this, as i say, this is what the foreign ministry says, "show that israel is not interested in ending the war in gaza," and qatar called for an urgent international investigation. now, we had a statement from qatar, egypt and us — the other
3:34 pm
main mediator in the talks — just a couple of days ago, an urgent message essentially saying that there's not a moment more to waste. and an incident like this will underline that, for the talks to resume and for israel and hamas to finally agree a deal. nowm those talks are meant to resume this coming thursday, august the 15th. israel has said that it will send a negotiating team. a hamas official has said that they're still looking at the latest offer. but we know for certain that there are still outstanding issues that they haven't been able to agree on all this time, all these months, and that some of those still remain. we have had moments. we had just a couple of weeks ago when the us was talking it up very strongly, saying they feel that this close to getting the deal. then we had israel going into action.
3:35 pm
there was the killing of a hezbollah—top commander in beirut. that was followed by the killing, of course, of a hamas political leader, ismail haniyeh, in iranjust the day after he was essentially leading the hamas negotiations. that was seen potentially as something that would make them even harder. and the man who's taken his place is yahya sinwar, who was seen, as, you know, the strongest figure in hamas, the one who still survived, the one who we believe is still hiding out in gaza, who was seen as the mastermind of october the 7th. far less of a pragmatic figure than haniyeh had been, so one would think far less likely to want to agree to any deal that goes back on the conditions that hamas has set all along. middle east analyst, sebastien asher. more now on the disorder that has played out in towns and cities across england and northern ireland this week. 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".
3:36 pm
a library that was set on fire during the violence in liverpool had served one of the most deprived communities in the city. 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, 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.
3:37 pm
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.
3:38 pm
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. several people have now been arrested after tiles, bottles and fireworks were thrown between two groups of rival protesters.
3:39 pm
but some business owners say it's 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, "0h, 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 —
3:40 pm
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 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
3:41 pm
come to pass. let's move on to brazil. investigations are beginning into the cause of a plane crash near sao paolo in brazil, which killed all 61 passengers and crew. a black box containing flight data has been recovered. the country's civil aviation agency said that the plane had been in good working condition. simonjones has the details — and a warning that you may find his report upsetting. 57 passengers, four crew members, no survivors. as the plane spiralled towards the ground, when if service could only look on in horror. but what caused this flight to come down?

3:54 pm
unbelievable! there we go, tim licata! i'm still wrapping my head around that. i'm not sure how i'm supposed to keep talking after that. absolutely brilliant. and i'm guessing that crowds have been loving these kind of performances? the crowds have been fantastic. i feel really blessed. the show�*s been full. there's a lot of audience participation. two peoplejoin me at the card table. they get some free whisky. we have a great time. i love working with the audience, and, yeah, it's been fantastic. i'm on all month, close up and personal. thank you very much. that's tim licata here at edinburgh festival fringe. the transport secretary has written to the bosses of the train operator cross country to express "serious concern" about its performance. the company has announced cuts to its services for the next three months, while it deals with a backlog of driver training. louise haigh said cancellations on crosscountry services had increased significantly in the past year, and it must agree an improvement plan. there are hopes one of england's most endangered birds can stage a comeback after being reintroduced to the fenlands of norfolk.

the corncrake is a small, secretive bird known for its distinctive call which it sings from dusk until dawn. conservationists say at least nine calling males were heard this year, up from only three in 2021. lucky us. now it's for the weather with darren. hello there. it has been quite breezy across northern areas today. further south we have seen much more cloud. a little bit of dampness in that as well. but through the rest of the weekend the temperatures are set to climb, they'll be more sunshine around and it will turn more humid as well. these are the temperatures though this afternoon. we are getting up to the mid 20s across some south—eastern areas, even though we are seeing more cloud around here. some dampness heading its way towards east anglia later in the afternoon. the cloud for many will
3:56 pm
tend to break up this evening and overnight. it stays a bit cloudy and warm towards the south, misty along the south coast, still some showers in the far north of scotland, although the winds are easing. but with clearer skies in the rest of scotland, northern ireland, northern england, down into wales, it is going to be a bit cooler than last night. temperatures could be as low as seven or 8 degrees. but it will warm up quickly in the sunshine tomorrow, there will be fewer showers in northern scotland. a southerly breeze will pick up, it will tend to lift that mist and low cloud. we'll see some sunshine coming through across southern areas, and with the wind is coming in from the south those temperatures are set to rise. so a warmer day on sunday, but it is particular warm across england and wales. temperatures towards 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 towards england and wales. it's going to be very hot for the closing ceremony of the olympics in paris. and that heat is coming in ahead of this weather front, an area of low pressure, and that's destabilising the air. it's beginning to bring some thunderstorms overnight into monday. some heavy rain. that wetter weather mainly for the northern half of the uk. further south, it's looking
3:57 pm
mostly dry, there will be more sunshine around — particular towards the south—east, across east anglia, the midlands, up to lincolnshire. and this is where we've got the heat and humidity. it's likely to be the hottest day of the year so far. it could make 3a degrees. but you can see it's not hot everywhere. we've the rain further north and west. that will clear to give us late sunshine in western scotland and northern ireland, and that weather front gets pushed away. another one comes in from the atlantic — this one is going to bring with it some outbreaks of rain into northern and western areas. but ahead of that, through the midlands and particular towards the south—east, east anglia, it's still dry. still very warm actually here. temperatures 26, 27 degrees — not quite as hot or as humid as monday is going to be.
