and on the penultimate day of the paris olympics — dozens of gold medals are up for grabs — ethiopia have set a record—breaking win in the men's marathon. we start in the middle east where dozens of palestinians have been killed in an israeli airstrike on a school housing displaced families in gaza city. on a school housing displaced the al—ahli baptist hospital says 70 of the bodies it's received so far have been identified. the total number of those killed is expected to rise. these are some of the latest images from the scene — many are too graphic for us to show. in the past hour, the israeli military has said it killed "at least 19" hamas and islamichhad members in the strike. that's disputed by hamas which has said the dead do not include

a "single combata nt". since earlyjuly, israel has struck at least 13 schools sheltering displaced people. there's been international condemnation — here's some of the reaction. egypt and qatar — which have been mediating in the gaza ceasefire talks — have condemned the israeli strike. the white house says far too many civilians continue to be killed in gaza — and the incident underscores the urgent need for a ceasefire. the eu's foreign affairs chief josep borrell 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." the bbc has asked the israel defense forces for an interview but it says there's no—one available. 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." "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. 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 them peace. jenny hill, bbc news, tel aviv. our gaza correspondent rushdi abualouf who's currently in istanbul told me more about the school itself. look, this is a religious school — it teaches sharia law, and it's a school that is belonging to a wider charity organisation that owns about 4—5 schools, and run different mosques and different charity organisations in gaza. it's the organisation that hamas was trying to control and take over for years.

they have some sort of strict rules about their members involving in any military activity or any militant group. it's a well—known organisation, people always felt safe to be sheltering in their schools. we have seen many people sheltering in their schools in the past war, and israel never, ever in the past, i think, targeted any of their institutions. so 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, this 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 inside it. and, as you know, it's verifying the information and investigating in these kind of incidents why no independentjournalists are allowed into gaza.

it's always very difficult, we are trying to talk to witnesses as much as possible — but i myself know this organisation, i have been to this school and to many of their institutions before. and, for many of the neighbours who i spoke to, it was a little bit of shocking news for them that the school was destroyed or was targeted, you know? palestinian 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 netanyahu has an additional goal, which was to undermine completely any possibility of ceasefire in gaza 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 stancome and nine—year—old alice da silva aguair when a man with a knife attacked a taylor swift—themed holiday club event on 29thjuly. 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 are 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 aguiar will take place tomorrow at the same merseyside church where she had her first communion just three months ago. olivia richwald, bbc news, southport. now to events in russia. russia's defence ministry says its forces are still trying to repel a ukrainian cross— border incursion which is now in its fifth day. russia says it's evacuated more than 76,000 people from the kursk region since tuesday — and strict securit measures have come into place there and in two other regions — bryansk and belgorod.

russia's nuclear agency has warned the incursion poses a direct threat to the kursk nuclear power plant. the un nuclear agency has urged both sides to exercise maximum restraint, as fighting moves closer to the plant. reports suggest ukraine's army could be operating up to 35 kilometres inside russia, with intense fighting close to the town of sue—jar. our reporter oksana kundirenko told me about the ukraine's military strategy behind this operation. disrupting the offensive is probably the main goal in eastern ukraine. disrupting the offensive is probably the main goal. in eastern ukraine, russia is slowly but surely gaining ukrainian territory. the russian army is facing many problems, one of which is manpower and obviously they want to destruct russian attention.

well, whether it is working or not, we yet have to see. it's day five of this incursion, but some respectful military analytics, and namely the institute for the study of war in the us, its american think tank, they say that russian commanders in the kremlin are so far resisting this urge to redeploy very experienced troops from the eastern ukraine to the kursk region. and those who are fighting there now, they are newly recruited fresh soldiers and those who were in russian prisons. right, i suppose the question is how long ukraine can carry on where it is before it's overstretched itself. and in terms of what you said, it's very hard because there's so little information coming about official information. so how on earth do you find out what's going on there? yeah, of course, we don't have any official information on ukrainian side, some official information on the russian side. but yet this war has been the most documented war in history

because of social media and because of various videos that we can see online. for example, ukrainian officials, some politicians have their own telegram channels, whatsapp channels where they post these videos saying that ukrainian army has taken this or that village. for example, one of these videos we can show now it is the video of ukrainian battalion taking the gazprom office in the town of suja. well, we as journalists on our part have to verify these videos and this video has been verified that it has indeed been filmed in soja, but whether it is indicating that ukrainian army has taken the control of entire town, we don't know. but we can for sure say that they control that part of the town. so it happens like this. we go bit by bit, photograph by photograph. on the russian side, we have russian military bloggers who report from the ground and russian state media who send their official reports. it's very interesting because their reports say that the enemy hasn't hasn't got any inch of our land, and this is obviously not true. yeah. and also suja is a key gas transport, um, a hub for the russian

gas that goes into ukraine and then to the rest of europe. um, in terms of the significance of that, what is it? well, if we were speaking with you a year ago, the entire europe would be panicking now, facing another cold winter and another energy crisis. but it is not the case now. even though suja is a key transport hub where russian gas is going to ukraine, despite the war to the european union, europe has managed to significantly reduce their dependency on russian gas, for example, before the war 45% of european gas was from russia. now it is only 15% and they do plan to get rid of russian gas whatsoever. another thing i could say that this war has been going on for the third year now, and none of the parties has been attacking gas infrastructure. so even though we have now reports that ukrainian army is controlling parts of this infrastructure, they don't probably plan to destroy it.

three days of mourning have been declared in the brazilian state of sao paulo, 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. simonjones has the details — a warning that you may find his report upsetting. 58 passengers, four crew members. no survivors. as the plane spiralled towards the ground, witnesses could only look on in horror. but what caused this flight to come down? translation: the plane passed over us. we thought it was going to fall on our home. it started to come down and down

and we said it's falling. it's falling. when we saw the plane again, it had crashed. the flames were very high. they burned everything. it was a horror scene. the flight came down in a residential area. one home was damaged, but nobody on the ground was hurt. anxious relatives gathered at the airport where the plane, which was on a short internal flight, had been due to land. two trainee doctors are known to be among the dead. investigations are now underway into the cause of the crash. the plane's black box, containing voice recordings and flight data has been recovered. brazil's civil aviation agency said the aircraft, which was built in 2010, had been in good working condition. one theory is a build up of ice could have contributed to what happened. brazil's president paid tribute to the victims at an event where he was speaking, and asked the audience to observe a minute's silence. sao paulo�*s state governor has declared three days of mourning. the authorities will now be determined to provide answers to the families of the 62 people who've lost their lives. simon jones, bbc news.

earlier thais carranca from bbc brazil, told me it was too early to know exactly what went wrong. the footage that is being circulated on social media shows the aeroplane spiralling, then falling abruptly to the floor. and what's been said that could cause this is freezing of the aeroplane. of course, this is an initial assumption, we don't know what happened, and experts are very cautious to say — we need perhaps weeks, even months to actually know the real cause. and its extraordinary, isn't it, that nobody was injured or killed, in fact, on the ground itself? because it's such a built—up area, isn't it? the crash site is surrounded by houses. yes — that is one good outcome of this whole event, of course, only one house on the ground was damaged, and that house was empty. so no persons were

killed on the floor. but it is considered to be a very important outcome, and something the pilot might have done, right? he might�*ve put the pilot on a direction that would that would not damage an area that so densely populated in the interior of sao paulo. now it's time for a look at today's sport. in the last few moments the united states have won the men's four by 400 metres relay. botswana pushed them all the way and took silver. it needed an american record time from the americans to seal another athletics gold medal. britain taking bronze. something else that has happened in the last hour, kenny has won a world record third consecutive gold medal in the women's 1500 metres. —— gold medal in the women's1500 metres. —— kenya. setting another record finishing in three minutes

munich have accepted a bid of around $50 million for the centre back of ajax. erik ten hag was in charge of their run to the champions league final. hopefully he is hoping it will help with the club's injury troubles. —— he is hoping it will help. that's all the sport. thanks very much. 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 14 others were rescued and taken to hospital and a rescue operation continues at the site. 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. the funeral has taken place forjay slater — the lancashire teenager who disappeared in tenerife injune, after attending a musical festival with his friends. hundreds of mourners attended the service in accrington. a post mortem found the 19 year old died of traumatic head injuries consistent with a fall from height. banksy has confirmed the sixth artwork in his new animal—themed collection across london. it's a silhouette of a cat on an empty, run down billboard. the contractor says they're taking it down early in case someone "rips it down and leaves it unsafe". the contractor said the artwork will be brought back to their yard to see if anyone collects it. the first piece of graffiti in banksy�*s new animal—themed series, which was spotted on monday, is near kew bridge in south—west london and shows a goat with rocks falling down below it, just above where a cctv

camera is pointed. on tuesday the artist added silhouettes of two elephants with their trunks stretched towards each other on the side of a building near chelsea, in west london. this was followed by three monkeys looking as though they were swinging underneath a bridge over brick lane, near a vintage clothing shop in the popular east london market street, not far from shoreditch high street. the fourth piece in peckham, that later appeared to be stolen, showed a black stencil of a wolf howling towards the sky, painted on a white satellite dish. the fifth piece features pelicans pinching fish from a sign outside an east london chip shop. our reporterst have been speeking to some cricklewood locals —— our reporterst have been speaking to some cricklewood locals about what they thought of the new banksy piece in their area. it's just amazing, he's such a seminal artist. and we saw him pop up on instagram, so we rushed down here before — hopefully — he's not nicked. but it's just been great seeing him locally nearby.

we just think they're just a nice thing to cheer everybody up, basically. yeah, we just like the fact that they're animals. yeah, we do. myself and my boyfriend have been on a banksy crawl today — - so we've gone to the pelicans - in the morning, then we've just been to the monkeys in brick lane, - then we saw that banksy had posted the cats over here now. we'll go to the elephants after. i live five minutes away, and it's so nice to see free art in cricklewood! yeah, it's lovely, and it such a nice breath of fresh air here on the busy edgware road. if you'd describe yourself as a chocoholic, you might want to keep an eye on the cost of your favourite treat. soaring cocoa prices are hitting manufacturers, which means some are using alternative ingredients to keep costs down — on the cheap may leave a nasty taste in your mouth!

would you rather pay more or eat less? that's a chocolate bar today. on the current cocoa prices, that would be your chocolate bar tomorrow if you were to take all that price increase that we are seeing and reflect it in material. the global price of cocoa has soared, hitting chocolate—makers everywhere and, although the price has fallen since april, it's still hitting production costs. my retails should not move. i'm taking a little bit of weight out. i'm looking at how i can take more cost out of my business and i'm taking absorption of that cost, as well. cutting the cocoa content is another option, increasing things like sugar or milk, which are cheaper. one way of reducing the cocoa content is to substitute cocoa butter with vegetable fat, which can be made from palm oil, shea nuts, illipe. if you substitute too much, you can no longer call the product chocolate. it has to be called 'chocolate flavoured'. two—thirds of the world's cocoa is grown in africa, where weather, disease and low yields

have hit supplies. starting his business in essex, mike simmonds moved to norfolk, where now he's having to diversify into coffee and ice creams so he doesn't have to bulk out his chocolate with cheaper ingredients. i don't think we could do it because it would impact the flavour and the quality of the products that we make. so, no, i wouldn't do that, any more than i would do the shrinkflation thing that a lot of companies do. so we maintain the size and the quality. we should be able to ride it unless it does another doubling or trebling as it's done already this year. well, you could put all sorts of things into chocolate, but look, chocolate is there to make you happy, right? so i don't want to put more things into my chocolate that don't make people happyjust because of cost. there are also chocolate substitutes on the market. have you tasted them? you don't get the endorphins come through that make you happy. you don't get the flavour, you do get the melt, but it'sjust brown stuff that melts in your mouth. it's not chocolate. so if you, like me,

are a chocoholic, keep your eye on the ingredients and pack size, as well as the price. andrew turner, bbc news, norfolk. stay with us here on bbc news. further north more sunshine, breezy conditions. _ further north more sunshine, breezy conditions. a — further north more sunshine, breezy conditions, a few— further north more sunshine, breezy conditions, a few showers _ further north more sunshine, breezy conditions, a few showers in - conditions, a few showers in scotland. _ conditions, a few showers in scotland, and _ conditions, a few showers in scotland, and temperaturesj conditions, a few showers in - scotland, and temperatures today have been— scotland, and temperatures today have been about _ scotland, and temperatures today have been about average. - scotland, and temperatures today have been about average. in - scotland, and temperatures today have been about average.- scotland, and temperatures today have been about average. in the next coule of have been about average. in the next counle of days _ have been about average. in the next counle of days we _ have been about average. in the next couple of days we are _ have been about average. in the next couple of days we are going - have been about average. in the next couple of days we are going to - have been about average. in the next couple of days we are going to get. have been about average. in the next couple of days we are going to get a l couple of days we are going to get a heat spike. temperatures will rise rapidly, humidity too but not everywhere because there will be
