they say her sister witnessed the attack and managed to escape. and on the penultimate day of the paris olympics — dozens of gold medals are up for grabs — with ethiopia setting a record—breaking win in the men's marathon. hello, i'm lucy grey. welcome to the programme. we start in the middle east after dozens of palestinians were killed in an israeli airstrike on a school housing displaced families in gaza city. the al—ahli baptist hospital says it's received 70 bodies so far. they have been identified. 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 hamas and islamichhad militants
6:01 pm
were operating from the building. but hamas says the dead do not include a "single combatant" and described it as a �*horrific crime�*. since earlyjuly, israel has struck at least 13 schools sheltering displaed people. here's 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 contains images you may find distressing. anguish, bewilderment — dawn prayers shattered by three israeli missiles. "there isn't any safe place," this woman cries. "no place is safe."
6:02 pm
"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.
6:03 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. graeme groom is an nhs orthopaedic surgeon from london who has recently returned to gaza. he spoke to us about the daily challenges faced by the medical team on the ground. a warning — some people may find his description of surgical proceedures disturbing. we have a narrow perspective. we see the folk who have made it to hospital. in other words, 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,
6:04 pm
60% have been under 17. and some of them... we mean tiny scraps. a one—year—old with burns to both 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, widely known as rosie, reconstructed two faces in two children. and she used a technique which even an orthopaedic surgeon hasn't heard of. she 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
6:05 pm
hundred years ago because cutting off the nose was used as a punishment. also the question i would ask, is what had this 14—year—old child done to deserve having his nose cut off? that is graeme groom, an nhs orthopaedic surgeon in gaza. palestinians protesters have marched in the west bank city of ramallah to condemn the killing of civilians in the israeli airstrike in gaza city. among those marching was the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative, mustafa barghouti, who said the attack was carried out to damage the ceasefire talks. israel committed this horrible massacre as part of its efforts to conduct terrible genocide against the whole population of gaza. but not only there was an additional goal, which was to undermine completely any possibility of ceasefire in gaza
6:06 pm
and to undermine even the talks that are supposed to start soon about ceasefire. the parents of one of the girls stabbed to death in southport say her sister witnessed the attack and managed to escape. six—year—old bebe king was the youngest of those killed. lauren and ben king shared this family photo. they said bebe�*s older sister, genie, 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 dot stancombe and nine—year—old alice da silva aguilar when a man with a knife attacked a taylor swift—themed holiday club event on 29thjuly.
6:07 pm
olivia richwald reports. this is the king family in happy times before their lives were ripped apart. little bebe, just six years old, was one of the victims of the knife attacks in southport less than two weeks ago. today, it's emerged that her big sister, nine—year—old genie, was also at the dance school but escaped. in a statement released by merseyside police, they paid tribute to genie, who witnessed the attack. they said she has shown such incredible strength and courage and we're so proud of her. 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. the funeral of nine—year—old alice dasilva aguilar will take place tomorrow at the same merseyside church where she had her first communion just three months ago. olivia richwald, bbc news, southport. well, the disinformation that the southport suspect was a muslim asylym seeker led to anti—immigrant and far—right riots in the following
6:08 pm
days after the attack. today thousands attended anti—racism rallies across the uk to counter any violent disorder. one of the protests was outside the headquarters of the reform uk party in central london. our correspondent emily unia was there earlier. there's a very heavy police presence here in central london today. but nearly a thousand, possibly more than a thousand protesters have gathered opposite reform party hq to express their opposition to the violence that has unfolded in recent days and weeks. now with me is one of the organisers of this protest. lewis neilson, he's from stand up to racism. lewis, how are you feeling about the turnout this afternoon? well, look, we're delighted so many people have come out. this is in london, outside reform ho. but across the country we think there's tens of thousands of people out today. and we're sending a clear message that we're not going to let the far right march through our streets, attacking muslims, attacking mosques, attacking refugees, and the size of this crowd, the size of the crowd in places like manchester, liverpool, wakefield, sheffield, shows
6:09 pm
that we're building a big movement here to stop the far right. has there been any sign of counter—protesters of any kind this afternoon? we haven't yet seen them here today, but obviously it was only a week ago that they were rampaging through cities in the north, in central london as well, and we think we've beaten them back. i'm not getting complacent. i think there's a long way to go and a lot of work to do, but the scale of this movement and all the protests around the country shows that if you have unity, you have solidarity, we can stop the far right in their tracks. and do you think that the impact you're having this afternoon is going to make a difference to to those people who have said they don't feel listened to, that they feel concerned, that aren't necessarily far right thugs, but, you know, feel that theyjust don't have a voice in this country anymore. well, look, one of the things... the reason why we're here at reform uk is because we're saying that nigel farage is fanning the flames and giving confidence to the far right. the language he uses about migrants, about muslims, about refugees, i think gives confidence to the thugs that you saw attacking the hotel in rotherham, the one in tamworth and so on. so we're saying that
6:10 pm
nigel farage is a fraud. he's a millionaire stockbroker. he went to one of the poshest private schools in britain and he's trying to say that the enemy of working class people are people from abroad. we're saying they're not. and that's why we're building a movement of unity here. well, thank you very much foryourtime, louis. the atmosphere here this afternoon has actually been very peaceful, very friendly and welcoming. people of all colours and religious backgrounds have been here to make their voices heard. i've seen young people, old people, people in wheelchairs. it has felt very inclusive and very safe as well. let's get more on the israeli air strike which has left 70 palestinians dead. we strike which has left 70 palestinians dead. ~ , , ., ~ strike which has left 70 palestinians dead. ~ , , n ., palestinians dead. we can speak to our gaza correspondent _ palestinians dead. we can speak to our gaza correspondent who - palestinians dead. we can speak to our gaza correspondent who is - our gaza correspondent who is in istanbul. we have been hearing some graphic descriptions of the injuries facing children who have been caught up facing children who have been caught up in this. bring is up—to—date on what we know about this attack. the

to the place. we understand that two or three... to the place. we understand that two orthree... i have to the place. we understand that two or three... i have been able to speak to some of the witnesses who live nearby who tried to help and save the lives of the people. he said there was very little they can do. the scene was very graphic to try to describe but he told me there was blood everywhere and body pieces everywhere and it was a big mess for about two or three hours. the rescue team were trying to collect the people and help them and get them to the hospital. gaza city itself is only one small functioning hospital and had to deal with a huge number of people and injuries. the director of people and injuries. the director of the hospital tweeted, saying in describing some of the scenes that he saw in the hospital today about the little kid who was killed and
6:13 pm
said they were struggling for hours to try to save his life but because of the lack of equipment and lack of medicine and the lack of doctors and nurses we couldn't save the people. a very angry mood in gaza city today and and the israeli says there were militants inside and hamas denied some of the people who are in the school and around it and said we haven't seen any military activity around school.— around school. that is the claim from israel. _ around school. that is the claim from israel, saying _ around school. that is the claim from israel, saying that - around school. that is the claim from israel, saying that hamasl from israel, saying that hamas fighters were using the building as a command post. what can you tell us about the school itself and the people were there? this about the school itself and the people were there?— people were there? this is a religious _ people were there? this is a religious school, _ people were there? this is a religious school, it - people were there? this is a religious school, it teaches i people were there? this is a - religious school, it teaches sharia law and it is a school that belongs to a wider organisation that owns about four or five schools and

different charity organisation in gaza. it is the organisation that hamas was trying to control and take overfour hamas was trying to control and take over four years. hamas was trying to control and take overfour years. they hamas was trying to control and take over four years. they have some sort of strict rules about their members involved in any military activity, any militant groups. it is a well—known organisation. they always felt so to be sheltering in their schools. we have seen many people sheltering in the schools in the past will and israel never in the past will and israel never in the past targeted any of the institutions. it was a bit of a shock and surprise for the people to see the school bombed. even when the israeli tanks were operating around this area the school has never been touched before or get any strike in it or close to that area. so most of the people who were there they must have felt safe to stay here. as you know it is verifying the information and investigating this so that's why
6:15 pm
no independentjournalists are allowed into gaza. it is always very difficult and we are trying to witness it as much as possible but i myself know this organisation. i have been to the school and to institutions before and for many of the neighbours who i spoke to it was a little bit shocking for them that the school was destroyed and targeted. the school was destroyed and tarueted. . ~ the school was destroyed and tarueted. ., ~ i. the school was destroyed and tarueted. . ~' . a the school was destroyed and tarueted. ., ~' . a ., targeted. thank you so much. as our gaza correspondent _ targeted. thank you so much. as our gaza correspondent who _ targeted. thank you so much. as our gaza correspondent who is _ targeted. thank you so much. as our gaza correspondent who is currentlyl gaza correspondent who is currently in istanbul. three days of mourning have been declared in the brazilian state of sao paolo, after a plane crash which killed all 62 people on board. a black box containing flight data has been recovered from the scene. the country's civil aviation agency said that the plane had been in good working condition. let's speak to our colleague thais carranca from bbc brazil. hello to you. has anything been said about what possibly might have caused this plane, it looks like it
