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 later today. welcome to the programme. we start this hour with the latest on the israel—gaza war after dozens of palestinians were killed in an israeli air strike on a school housing displaced families in gaza city. the al—ahli baptist hospital says it's received 70 bodies so far. the total number of those killed is expected to be higher. these are some of the latest images from the scene. many are too graphic for us to show. the israeli military says around 20
5:01 pm
hamas and islamichhad militants were operating from the building. but hamas says the dead do not include a "single combatant" and has described it as a "horrific crime". some international reaction — egypt and qatar, which have been mediating in the gaza ceasefire talks, have condemned the israeli strike. the eu's foreign affairs chief, josep borrell, says he's "horrified by the images from the school". he says there's no justification for these massacres. and the uk's foreign secretary david lammy says he's "appalled by the strike and the tragic loss of life," adding: "we need an immediate ceasefire "to protect civilians, "free all hostages, and end restrictions on aid." this report from jenny hill in tel aviv contains images you may find distressing. anguish, bewilderment — dawn prayers shattered by three israeli missiles. "there isn't any safe place," this woman cries.
5:02 pm
"no place is safe." "where is the world?" he says. "why does it stay silent in the face of these crimes?" the school served as a shelter for civilians, displaced many times over. but israel claims this was a hamas command centre, too. in a statement on social media, an israeli defence force spokesman said around 20 hamas and islamichhad militants were operating out of the compound. israel has repeatedly struck school buildings in recent weeks. each time they insist they conceal hamas bases and each time they insist they strive to minimise civilian casualties. the strike comes at a time of heightened tension in the middle east. international governments are urging hamas and israel to agree a ceasefire and hostage—return deal as soon as possible.
5:03 pm
and extensive diplomacy is ongoing to try to stop the conflict in gaza from spiralling into an all—out regional war. hard to see hope in the ruins of gaza — as they mourn their dead, try to find shelter, the world struggles to deliver than peace. jenny hill, bbc news, tel aviv. our middle east analyst sebastian usher had more on the international reaction to the attack, including the uk foreign secretary david lammy. 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
5:04 pm
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 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. now 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
5:05 pm
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. 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
5:06 pm
that hamas has set all along. let's speak to graeme groom an nhs orthopaedic surgeon from london who has recently returned to help in gaza. thank you for your time. given you know the area so well, could you explain to us what options, what care people have available to them when they are caught up in an attack like this? ., ~ , ., , . when they are caught up in an attack like this? ., ~ ,, , . ., like this? thank you very much for havin: like this? thank you very much for having me- _ like this? thank you very much for having me- it's — like this? thank you very much for having me. it's quite _ like this? thank you very much for having me. it's quite difficult - like this? thank you very much for having me. it's quite difficult for. having me. it's quite difficult for me to say what facilities people have when they are caught up in attacks like that, but what we do know, from our paramedics and the people we have been treating, is that one technique is called a double attack, so there is an attack, there is a pause while the emergency services... can you imagine the emergency services are still in action after ten months?
5:07 pm
while the emergency services arrive on the scene and then there is another attack. the hospitals, this time, we have been several times before, but on this visit we really just arrived but i have a colleague, a plastic surgeon. i am an orthopaedic surgeon, and we are here simply to contribute and to continue the work we have been doing for some time. we have a narrow perspective. we see the folk who have made it to hospital. we see the wounded. they always outnumber the dead and it's absolutely tragic. of the patients we have seen today, and operated on today, 60% have been under 17. a one—year—old with burns to both
5:08 pm
legs, a three—year—old with half a hand missing. a nine—year—old with terrible injuries. and yesterday my wonderful plastics colleague, victoria rose, reconstructed two faces. this was into children. and she used a technique which an orthopaedic surgeon hasn't heard of. used a technique where she took a flap from a forehead and moved it down the face to reconstruct the nose. it is not a new technique. it was developed in india several hundred years ago because cutting off the nose was used as a
5:09 pm
punishment. also the question i would ask, is what had this 14—year—old child done to deserve having his nose cut off? what having his nose cut off? what you are describing _ having his nose cut off? what you are describing there _ having his nose cut off? what you are describing there is _ having his nose cut off? what you are describing there is a - having his nose cut off? what you are describing there is a very - are describing there is a very painful reminder of the fact that children are being hurt, they are being hurt in this war. mothers, women, as well as all civilians in gaza who are at risk right now. i wonder, given the fact that you are going back and forth, how you are seeing things progress there? you're speaking to gazans there, what are they telling you?— they telling you? from our own observations, _ they telling you? from our own observations, and _ they telling you? from our own observations, and discussions | they telling you? from our own i observations, and discussions with our colleagues, we have been coming for a long time, principally for a training programme, and since the 7th of october, this war out reaches any of them for brutality, cruelty
5:10 pm
and cowardice. part of our training programme has been to bring palestinians to london. we have three surgeons, two nurses, two physiotherapists— all of them excellent people. one of our three surgeons was arrested before christmas and died in israeli custody on the 19th of april. one of our nurses i met again today. his family were all injured when their house was bombed and his 17—year—old daughter was killed. for us it is absolutely heartbreaking, especially the tiny children. for us they have a right to life. they have a right to bear arms and legs and they have a right to grow in liberty. i just a right to grow in liberty. i 'ust want to get�* a right to grow in liberty. i 'ust want to get your i a right to grow in liberty. i 'ust want to get your reaction h
5:11 pm
a right to grow in liberty. ijust want to get your reaction because, what the idf have said in relation to this attack, is that 20 militants were operating there, that this served as a command centre for hamas and islamichhad, and these attacks are essentially self defence for them. what is your response to that? i heard that many times. i think that it's been used to justify every attack on schools, mosques, churches, sites of great historic interest. hospitals, of course, and it seems to me that hamas must have a huge number of command centres. that is a political point of view and i have absolutely no personal knowledge. it's what we hear after every attack. knowledge. it's what we hear after every attack-— knowledge. it's what we hear after eve attack. ., ,, . ., every attack. thank you so much for our time every attack. thank you so much for your time and _ every attack. thank you so much for your time and for _ every attack. thank you so much for your time and for sharing _ every attack. thank you so much for your time and for sharing what - every attack. thank you so much for your time and for sharing what you i your time and for sharing what you have witnessed there.—

5:13 pm
kilometres inside russia, with intense fighting close to the town of sudzha. phillips o'brien is a professor of strategic studies at the university of st. andrews. he explained ukraine's military strategy. i'm talking to ukrainians over the last few days, and the ones that i have been speaking to have said that this operation has both, you would say, a military and political objective. the military objective — the basic one which your correspondentjust mentioned — is this can draw russian troops away from other theatres, perhaps away from kharkiv, even away from the donbas because the russians have very few troops in this area. i mean, the ukrainians were able to blow through the russian lines, make pretty fast advances. so the russians, if they're going to stop this and contain this, are going to have to send a lot of force relatively quickly, and that will be difficult for them. so it's going to try and make the russians redeploy forces, and that's a military task. another military task that the ukrainians seem to be operating on is they are trying to find a new way to integrate technologies to move forward.
5:14 pm
they've actually moved forward faster than any army have moved forward since the ukrainian liberation of kharkiv back in september, 2022. so the russians have not moved this fast in any of their offensives in the last nine months and the ukrainians are testing out different ways of using uavs, electronic warfare. they seem to be trying to use a new kind of combined arms operation, and that has been interesting. so these are the military objectives. the overall geopolitical strategic is it's very important for the ukrainians in their own mind to show to the world that russia isn't this sort of massive power or unstoppable force, which a lot of bad analysis has done over the last few months tended to overplay russian strengths. ukraine's saying, "look, russia's been fighting this war with huge advantage," and that is they haven't had to defend their own border. they can throw all their troops into ukraine. i mean, that's an extraordinary
5:15 pm
advantage that they've had, and it's been mostly because the us has kept the ukrainians from attacking into russia. but apologies, professor — knowing what you know about ukraine's military capacity, their capabilities, their weapons, their ammunitions, do you think they can sustain this kind of offensive? they certainly can't sustain it... it's not a question of going to moscow. if you think they're going to invade all the way and take the kremlin, no, they're not going to do this. i think the question is, how deep do they want to go and what they want to achieve strategically? they certainly can carve out a part of russia here now and occupy it and defend it. and that will be a real problem for the russians because the ukrainians have the forces there now, they can dig in. we have seen once you do dig in how difficult it is to be dislodged. so i think it's what you think — i mean, they're not going to take over russia, but they certainly can take a chunk here over the border,
5:16 pm
and they have that capability — and right now the russians don't have the ability to stop them. now it's time for a look at today's sport with chetan pathak. let's bring you up—to—date with what has been happening at the olympics. she'd previously won silver and bronze at the olympics — now new zealand's lydia ko has completed the set, winning gold in the women's golf in the last hour. the former world number one hit a final round 71, finishing two shots clear of germany's esther henseleit. switzerland's morgane metraux, who'd started the day level with ko, had a nightmare final round 79 which saw herfinish in a tie for 18th. the top of the medals table at the paris olympics has long been a two way battle between china and the usa. they entered the day on 33 gold medals each,
5:17 pm
but china have pulled clear so far on saturday, with four golds, including from a sport they've completely dominated — the diving. defending champion cao yuan providing a historic eighth gold of eight events for china in paris, with a dominant win in the ten metre platform final. he now has four golds in his career overall. rikuto tamai ofjapan took silver and britain's noah wlliams bronze. it's another gold medal for home nation france in the men's volleyball, defending their title from tokyo. they are the first back—to—back olympic champions in men's volleyball since the usa in 1988. their 15th gold of the games came after a 3—0 sets win over poland, who came into the tournament as the world's number one ranked team. meanwhile slovenia doubled their gold medal tally in paris thanks to climberjanja garnbret, who's won the women's boulder and lead title, three years after winning gold
5:18 pm
in climbing's speed discipline. great britain's erin mcneice finished fifth. all i can say is that, i don't know if many people can realise how hard it is to defend something over and over and over again, to deliver every single time i step on the stage. so today was no different. i just had that feeling when i woke up that i would climb my best, that todayis that i would climb my best, that today is my day and i could deliver. but yeah, it was not easy at all. i cried three times probably. first one was from pressure, second time because i was scared of my finger and the time ofjoy. i can say that it was a perfect day. the first gold on the penultimate day in paris went early on saturday, but in an event that might be the hardest work of the day. the men's marathon was won by tamirat tola. the ethiopian took gold with a time of two hours, six minutes and 26 seconds,
5:19 pm
setting a new olympic record and securing ethiopia's first gold of the games. great britain's emile cairess missed out on a medal, finishing in fourth place, while kenya's eliud kipchoge — regarded as the greatest marathon runner of all time — failed to finish. and, earlier new zealand's lisa carrington kept her cool to win the women's kayak single 500m race. she nowjoins the likes of usain bolt as a winner of eight olympic golds. this was her third victory at the paris games after winning in both the four and the double earlier in the week. manchester united and manchester city are back at wembley, just over two months after the fa cup final won by united over city — a result that set up today's community shield between the two. city have won it on penalties. manchester united were in front with eight minutes to go but bernardo
5:20 pm
silva equalised even later and on spot kicks city getting the job done. meanwhile, manchester united could be about to add to their ranks for the new premier league season, with bayern munich accepting a bid of around $50 million for matthijs de ligt. the centre—back was captain of ajax when current united boss erik ten hag was in charge for their run to the champions league semi final in 2019, and would help ease the club's defensive injury problems. and that's all the sport for now. us presidential candidates kamala harris and donald trump have been campaigning this weekend. kamala harris is continuing her tour of key battleground states after naming her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz. today, she arrives in nevada, after last night addressing a packed arena in arizona. in her speech she emphasised her experience fighting drug cartels as attorney general of a border state. donald trump has been in montana
5:21 pm
where he held a rally last night cartels as attorney general of a border state. we know our immigration system is broken and we know what it takes to fix it. comprehensive reform. that includes strong border security and and earn my own pathway to citizenship. donald trump has been in montana where he held a rally last night to support a republican candidate for senate. the former president told his supporters harris was part of the radical left which wanted to take away their guns. immigration was also central to his speech. she wants to allow millions of people — she wants to allow millions of people to pour into our border through— people to pour into our border through an invasion, using an invasion— through an invasion, using an invasion process. i don't think so! i invasion process. i don't think so! i don't _ invasion process. idon't think so! idon'i think— invasion process. i don't think so! i don't think that's for you and it's idon't think that's for you and it's not— idon't think that's for you and it's not for— i don't think that's for you and it's not for me. it's not for most people — it's not for me. it's not for most pennie in— it's not for me. it's not for most people in this country.
5:22 pm
let's find out more from two people who have been watchig how the two presidential hopefuls are being received. political reporter at the nevada independent, tabitha mueller, joins me now from nevada. as well as politics and investigations reporter at the montana free press, tom lutsey — who is in montana. tabatha, i ta batha, i would tabatha, i would love to start with you. nevada is a purple state. how competitive is it that the democrats, as far as you can tell right now? i democrats, as far as you can tell right now?— democrats, as far as you can tell right now? i think it's going to be very competitive. _ right now? i think it's going to be very competitive. it _ right now? i think it's going to be very competitive. it was - right now? i think it's going to be l very competitive. it was interesting because before kamala harris was announced as the presidential candidate for the democrats it was actually a lean red state. we were seeing on polling and polling in nevada is incredibly difficult to do, it is not always accurate. so keep that in mind. we were seeing polling that showed the state trending red for former president donald trump. now we are actually seeing the reverse and harris is leading in those polls. i think that's something we are watching and
5:23 pm
this is definitely a toss—up state this is definitely a toss—up state this year. this is definitely a toss-up state this ear. �* ., , ., this is definitely a toss-up state this ear. ., ., ., this year. again you are right to reminders _ this year. again you are right to reminders that _ this year. again you are right to reminders that the _ this year. again you are right to reminders that the only - this year. again you are right to reminders that the only poll - this year. again you are right to | reminders that the only poll that really matters is the one on election day. but if you look at the new york times latest poll with siena it looks like there has been some sort of reversal as far as they can tell, when it comes to some key states like michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. i wonder what you think the arrival of tim walt�*s, with kamala harris being on the ticket now, has done for the democrats?— ticket now, has done for the democrats? , ., , , democrats? this will actually be tim walt's second _ democrats? this will actually be tim walt's second visit _ democrats? this will actually be tim walt's second visit to _ democrats? this will actually be tim walt's second visit to nevada - democrats? this will actually be tim walt's second visit to nevada this i walt�*s second visit to nevada this year. it came as a surrogate for the biden come clean earlier. i think they are hoping to capture the rural voters in nevada. nevada has a third of voters who are democrats, 31 republican and a third who are nonpartisan. the democratic party is really going to have to do, what the republican party is good have to do, is capture as many votes as they
5:24 pm
possibly can. and so i think that what the democrats are hoping is that tim walz can speak to rural voters, especially with his speaking manner, and also he has shown that he knows how to use a gun. he is pro what he calls common—sense gun reform, but i think that is something that they are hoping can play out in nevada as well. let’s play out in nevada as well. let's cross to tom. _ play out in nevada as well. let's cross to tom. i _ play out in nevada as well. let's cross to tom. i want _ play out in nevada as well. let's cross to tom. i want to - play out in nevada as well. let's cross to tom. i want to bring - play out in nevada as well. let's cross to tom. i want to bring you in here. what is donald trump trying to achieve in montana right now? this isn'tjust about the achieve in montana right now? this isn't just about the presidential race, is it? isn'tjust about the presidential race. is it?— race, is it? no, it isn't. and donald trump _ race, is it? no, it isn't. and donald trump would - race, is it? no, it isn't. and donald trump would be - race, is it? no, it isn't. and donald trump would be the j race, is it? no, it isn't. and- donald trump would be the clear favourite — donald trump would be the clear favourite to win montana. he has won it twice _ favourite to win montana. he has won it twice before in the mid—505, in terms _ it twice before in the mid—505, in terms of— it twice before in the mid—505, in terms of what he took for the vote. we stated — terms of what he took for the vote. we stated last night that he was here because he needs a senate majority— here because he needs a senate majority if— here because he needs a senate majority if he is elected and he is here _ majority if he is elected and he is here to _ majority if he is elected and he is

hello there. it's been turning dryerfor england and wales, the cloud breaking up as well. further north though, we've had more sunshine, breezy conditions too — a few showers in scotland and temperatures today have been about average. but in the next couple of days we're going to get a heat spike. temperatures are going to rise rapidly. humidity too, not everywhere though. there will be some rain and thunderstorms in places as well. looking dry on the whole overnight. fewer showers across northern scotland. the winds becoming lighter as well. still got some cloud across the south of england, misty and murky along the south coast. that cloud will keep it warmer here, but further north, with clear skies and light winds, it's going to be quite cool. temperatures could be down to seven or eight degrees. it will warm up quickly though in the sunshine, and we'll lose those showers in northern scotland. further south there will be some of this patchy cloud around.
5:28 pm
southerly breeze picks up along the south. it will lift any of that mist and low cloud, mind you, and it will be a warmer day everywhere, but the higher widely into the mid 20s we could get close to 30 degrees in the south east of england. it's been very hot in spain. that heat is moving northwards into france and into the uk, particularly across south eastern parts of the uk. that heat and humidity building ahead of this weather front that's coming in from the atlantic — that will tend to change things in some areas. could get a few thunderstorms as early as sunday night in the west, but it's really on monday that we'll start to see this wetter weather with thunder and lightning pushing eastwards, mainly across the northern half of the uk. a few showers are possible in wales in the southwest, but towards the south east it will be dry and sunny and the heat and humidity will be particularly uncomfortable through the midlands, lincolnshire, east anglia and the south east.
5:29 pm
temperatures 30 degrees for many — could make 3a in the south east of england. the hottest day of the year. now that heat and humidity will get pushed away to a certain extent, and we will see some more weather fronts coming in from the atlantic on tuesday. these will bring some early rain into northern ireland, and then that rain will push into scotland and affect western parts of england and wales. still looking dry though through the midlands and more sunshine across east anglia and the south east, where it's going to be another very warm day on tuesday. just not as hot and as humid as monday.

and it was team gb�*s noah williams who took the bronze medal. that adds to his existing silver from these games that he won with tom daley in the men's synchronised 10m platform. an upset for france, as norway defeated the defending champions 29—21 in the women's handball final to win olympic gold. and athletics action concludes this evening with the men's 800m & 5,000m final, the women's 1,500m final and the men's and women's axlr00m relays. now, one of the great moments of these games was bryony page. remember her? she secured team gb�*s first ever gold medal in trampolining. for page, it completed a medal set, following a silver in rio and bronze in tokyo. but it's all the more incredible when you consider that for a period in her career she battled "lost move syndrome", that prevented her from jumping. we know that mentality is such a key part of elite sport, so it should come as no surprise that so many athletes work with coaches and pyschologists these days to manage the pressures
5:34 pm
and expectations that comes with competing at this level. joining me now is martin perry, sports psychologist for olympic champion bryony page. you helped bryony page through those tough times. talk me through what she was going through and what stopped herfrom being able tojump and how she got through it. thank ou for and how she got through it. thank you for having _ and how she got through it. thank you for having me _ and how she got through it. thank you for having me on. _ and how she got through it. thank you for having me on. bryony - and how she got through it. thank you for having me on. bryony page's coach, _ you for having me on. bryony page's coach, nigel— you for having me on. bryony page's coach, nigel blondel, contacted me around _ coach, nigel blondel, contacted me around about the 2008, 2009, explaining he had a very talented trampoline as he was working with that was— trampoline as he was working with that was experiencing what she called — that was experiencing what she called lost move syndrome and they were at _ called lost move syndrome and they were at last chance saloon because no one _ were at last chance saloon because no one was— were at last chance saloon because no one was able to help them and i was the _ no one was able to help them and i was the last— no one was able to help them and i was the last resort and i said to nigel. — was the last resort and i said to nigel, what is lost move syndrome? because _ nigel, what is lost move syndrome? because i_ nigel, what is lost move syndrome? because i had never worked with anyone _ because i had never worked with anyone in— because i had never worked with anyone in trampolining at that point — anyone in trampolining at that oint. �* , ., ., anyone in trampolining at that oint. �* , . ., point. and he explained and said that what bryony _

5:38 pm
the two men will face each other again injust under two hours' time, so it should be quite the final. and it was a thrilling women's high jump last sunday won by yaroslava mahuchikh of ukraine. australia's nicola olyslagers won silver, even though both she and mahuchikh cleared two metres, but olyslagers took three attempts to do it and the ukrainian went over the barfirst time. so that is why she won the gold. it was an unusual podium with four women on it. australia's eleanor patterson and ukraine's iryna gerashchenko took bronze after they both cleared 1.95m but failed to clear 1.98m after their three attempts. what a story for ukraine and australia, right? earlier i spoke to heike henkel, gold medallist in the women's high jump at the barcelona 1992 olympics. have a listen. this was not a surprise for me that mahuchikh will win the gold medal, because she was the best highjumper for years, which has made her very confident and mentally strong.
5:39 pm
and that's why, yeah, i think it was normally that she will win the gold medal. now, the world record is 2m 10cm. that's an incredible feat. what does it take to get that far? oh, it's... you have to be convinced that you can do it, tojump over such great height. you need self confidence, and you have already, you need mental health tojump over such heights. in my time, at least, that was the case for me. before ijumped 207, i already had the 210 in my head. so you have to focus on what you do. it means you have tojump over... how does it change your life, heike,
5:40 pm
to get the gold medal? oh, yes, it's a nice feeling. and you... yeah, it's fantastic. it's hard to describe. the medal on your neck and, yeah, it's for all your hard work, appreciation and commitment. that was heike henkel there, the olympic champion in the high jump and as i mentioned earlier, the men's highjump will be happening later so that is exciting. the olympics is made up of many nations — or national olympic committees — but one team that has made a big mark this year is the ioc olympic refugee team. made up of 37 athletes from 11 countries, the team debuted in rio in 2016 and has grown since then. the team, whose competitors hail from countries including syria, afghanistan, iran and south sudan — among others — hope to be a symbol of inclusion and equality for displaced people around the world.
5:41 pm
earlier i spoke to one of the olympic refugee countries' chief, the head of the refugee olympic council. for sure, it's really important that refugee athletes could access to the sport and to participate in the olympic games like other athletes. for example, for myself, when i forced to flee my country, i had still a dream to participate in the olympic games. but as a refugee, we couldn't any more represent our countries. the host countries or refugee olympic team allowed these athletes, professional athletes who forced to flee their country because of different reasons, to pursue in the olympic games, to participate in the olympic games, to send a message of hope for other refugees to inspire them, and to say to them that, "it's not the end of your life." "you have a right to have a dream, and if we did it, "you can also do it."
5:42 pm
and your dream was cycling, wasn't it? tell me a little bit about how you got into olympic cycling for the refugee team yourself. yeah, i started cycling in afghanistan, in a country that cycling was not normal for women. so my objective was to normalise cycling for women of afghanistan. and still, at the same time, i had a dream to participate in the olympic games, but unfortunately, because of the war in my country, i forced to flee my country, and i came to france in 2017. i continued cycling and i wanted to be a professional athlete, to participate in international competitions and olympic games. and fortunately, finally, i received a scholarship from ioc refugee olympic team in 2019, and in 2021, for the olympic games tokyo, i participated in cycling, in time trial. and cindy won a bronze medal for the olympic refugee team — the first medal for the team. how important was that for you? yeah, cindy made history for our team. she won the first ever medal for refugee olympic team. it's proud notjust for our team, for all the refugees around the world.
5:43 pm
so it's a big achievement for herand for ourteam and for all the refugees. we've mentioned small countries throughout these olympics and how significant their presence is. on the track, st lucia picked up their first ever medal from julien alfred, botswana achieved their first gold from letsile tebogo. and another small country i want to mention is brunei — they've only sent three athletes to these games — two swimmers and a sprinter. i caught up with one of their swimmers, 16 year old hayley wong a bit earlier. lam very i am very proud representing the country— i am very proud representing the country as— i am very proud representing the country as well as being a flag bearer— country as well as being a flag bearer and it country as well as being a flag bearerand it is country as well as being a flag bearer and it is an amazing opportunity. how did you get here? when _ opportunity. how did you get here? when did _ opportunity. how did you get here? when did you first start swimming? i started _ when did you first start swimming? i started swimming when i was about six and _ started swimming when i was about six and my— started swimming when i was about six and my parents enrolled me in a normal— six and my parents enrolled me in a normal swimming programme and when they recognised my skills they started — they recognised my skills they started taking it more seriously and then i_ started taking it more seriously and then i got— started taking it more seriously and then i got into the national team and i_ then i got into the national team and i have — then i got into the national team and i have been training for about ten years— and i have been training for about ten years now. and i have been training for about ten years now— and i have been training for about ten years now. that is a long time at onl 16

5:47 pm
lauren and ben king shared this photo of them with their older daughter, genie. they said bebe's older sister, who's nine, has shown incredible strength and courage, and they're so proud of her. they say her resilience is a testament to the love and bond she shared with her little sister, and they will continue to support her as they navigate this painful journey together as a family. bebe was killed alongside seven—year—old elsie and nine—year—old alice da silva aguiar when a man with a knife attacked a taylor swift—themed holiday club event on 29july. our correspondent nicky schiller has more on the family statement. this is the first time we've heard from the parents of six—year—old bebe king. now, she was the youngest victim of the stabbing attack in southport. and we should say that this statement has been issued through the merseyside police, and it comes from lauren and ben king — who say, as you can imagine, their world has
5:48 pm
been shattered by the loss of what they describe as their precious daughter. i want to read you what they wrote. they say, "our beloved bebe was full ofjoy, light and love, "and she will always remain in our hearts as the sweet, kind "and spirited girl that we adore." they go on to say, "our hearts are broken but we find some comfort "in knowing that bebe was so deeply loved by all who knew her." they also go on to say that they have got a lot of support and comfort from the outpouring in the community. they talk about how buildings were lit up pink. and they also, as we've seen from those pictures, the amount of tributes and flowers and cuddly toys and balloons that were left at the scene after the attack, they say that they have drawn a lot of comfort from that. they say, "the response from southport, the whole "of liverpool and even further afield has deeply touched our hearts "and we are so grateful to everyone who has reached out to us." so, azadeh, not only paying tribute to bebe, but also showing how they had got that support from the outpouring of grief amongst the community.
5:49 pm
and certainly, that was the feeling i got when i was there reporting just a day after the stabbing had happened — just how much the community was coming together. and nicky, we've learned that their older daughter, bebe's sister, witnessed the attack. what more can you tell us about that? yes, that's right. in this statement, we got new information from the parents of bebe, saying their older daughter, genie, had witnessed the attack and had managed to escape. this is what they wrote about her. they said that "she'd shown such incredible strength and courage "and we are so proud of her". they go on to say, "her resilience is a testament to the love and bond "she shared with her little sister, and we will continue "to support her as we navigate this painful journey together "as a family." azadeh. that was my colleague, nicky
5:50 pm
schiller. a 32—year—old man has appeared in court charged with four counts of attempted murder after a nine—year—old girl was shot in east london at the end of may. javon reily, from farnborough, appeared at westminster magistrates court and was remanded into custody. he is charged with an attack on a restaurant in the dalston area where the girl and three adults were injured. two children are among eight people killed after a mountain of waste collapsed at a landfill site in the ugandan capital, kampala. local media said several homes were engulfed in the landslide after heavy rainfall. the city authority said m others were rescued and taken to hospital and a rescue operation continues at the site. banksy has confirmed the fifth artwork in his new animal—themed collection across london. it's the silhouette of a cat on an empty, distressed billboard. let's speak to our colleague bhavani vadde, who is in cricklewood, in north london.
5:51 pm
i know there is some police presence behind you and there is a core done and we can see that. what have you witnessed this afternoon? yes. and we can see that. what have you witnessed this afternoon?— witnessed this afternoon? yes, this is the sixth — witnessed this afternoon? yes, this is the sixth and _ witnessed this afternoon? yes, this is the sixth and up _ witnessed this afternoon? yes, this is the sixth and up europe - witnessed this afternoon? yes, this is the sixth and up europe which - witnessed this afternoon? yes, this | is the sixth and up europe which has appeared in the capital this week at the same day it appeared, the alleged owners of the billboard seem to want to take it down. —— there is a cordon. this afternoon, a man who said he was a contractor on the authority of the owners came down here with a couple of ladders and he was initially going to try to take the billboards down but then the people who had come down to see the mural basically try to stop him and some of them sat on two of the ladders he had brought down so he couldn't climb up and then actually blocked the board by standing in front of it and shortly afterwards, two police cars arrived and that is when the chord and went out and then offices here spent quite a lot of time trying to verify the identity of this man and it seems his
5:52 pm
identify has been confirmed and he does have the authority to remove the mural and after the court and went up, some of the red edging of the disused billboard has been taken down but so far the actual artwork by banksy is still up. it has been confirmed by the elusive artist as his own work and he published a picture of it on his instagram earlier this afternoon and that is normally how he does confirm that it is his work. as i said, this is one of six artworks that has gone up in the capital and a couple of the other ones have also been removed or defaced. on tuesday, a mural of two elephants on the side of a house in chelsea popped up and it seemed that that was defaced. and a satellite dish with a howling wolf was apparently stolen from peckham also this week as well, so a lot of buzz and excitement from communities where these artworks have popped up but now disappointment here that this one is apparently coming down.
5:53 pm
