and at the paris olympics — great britain clinches its first ever artistic swimming medal. and kenya takes gold in the women's fifteen hundred metres — for the third time in a row. hello. 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. 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. 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? let's speak to nebal farsakh from the palestine red crescent society — she is in ramallah. they have been helping taking those injured from the israeli strike on the school to the hospitals. what have your colleagues been telling you about what they found at the school? ,., ., ., telling you about what they found at the school? ,., ., . ., ~ the school? good evening and thank ou for the school? good evening and thank you for having _ the school? good evening and thank you for having me. _ the school? good evening and thank you for having me. the _ the school? good evening and thank you for having me. the palestine - you for having me. the palestine ambulance teams responded to the attack on the school housing hundreds of displaced families in gaza city. i spoke to colleagues who described to me what it was like to

arrive on scene. these paramedics who have been working during the past ten months and dealing with such attacks, they were shocked and horrified by what they saw. they told me that they saw a lot of dead bodies to the extent it was really difficult to know where to begin. they had to walk between the bodies and pieces of the victims trying to locate injuries and any survivors and usually after any attack those survivors are being taken to hospitals that are already overcapacity, where doctors and nurses are exhausted, and there is not enough medications or medical equipment to provide medical care to all of these injuries. we equipment to provide medical care to all of these injuries.— all of these in'uries. we worth talkin: all of these in'uries. we worth talking to — all of these injuries. we worth talking to one _ all of these injuries. we worth talking to one surgeon - all of these injuries. we worth talking to one surgeon earlier| all of these injuries. we worth - talking to one surgeon earlier who said a disproportionate number of people affected in the attack were

children. —— we were talking. what did you find out in terms of who the victims were? figs did you find out in terms of who the victims were?— did you find out in terms of who the victims were? as our colleagues told us there were _ victims were? as our colleagues told us there were a _ victims were? as our colleagues told us there were a lot _ victims were? as our colleagues told us there were a lot of— victims were? as our colleagues told us there were a lot of children - victims were? as our colleagues told us there were a lot of children and i us there were a lot of children and women victims. many of the injuries included amputations. it was absolutely one of the most horrific attacks we have dealt with since the beginning of the war on gaza. the palestine red crescent has said over and over there is no safe place in gaza. forthe and over there is no safe place in gaza. for the past ten months civilians in gaza have experienced terror, starvation and immeasurable losses. even for those civilians who managed to survive they truly think that they might be killed at any minute. they feel abandoned. they feel no matter what happened to them, no matter what happened in gaza, nothing will change because

the international community isn't taking serious measures to protect civilians order to alleviate this suffering. forthe civilians order to alleviate this suffering. for the past ten months civilians in gaza live under unimaginable situations where in every aspect of life they are being targeted everywhere to the extent that all of the people there are just asking who could be next with no places for them left, no more safety places, and they are just living under continuous displacement from one place to another where some families have been targeted at least ten times. , ., families have been targeted at least ten times. , . , , ., ten times. israel says this was a hamas command _ ten times. israel says this was a hamas command centre, - ten times. israel says this was a hamas command centre, the . ten times. israel says this was a - hamas command centre, the school was a hamas command centre, and they have killed 19 fighters in their attack. what do you say to that? i think these are justifications from

israel trying to justify such attacks where the international community has said that civilians need to be protected. as first responders work on the ground they have evacuated dozens of people who were killed or injured, including children and women. none of them were fighters. since the beginning of the war we have seen how systematically israel is targeting civilians in shelters and schools and hospitals and everywhere. more than 39,000 have been killed since the beginning of the war on gaza including children, women, humanitarians, doctors, nurses, paramedics, journalists, and still more lives are lost because of the continuous attack day and night which has turned the life of people in gaza to a continuous nightmare.

thank you so much for talking to us. thank you so much for talking to us. thank you so much for talking to us. thank you for your time. 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 it's time for a look at today's sport. there has been so much going on at

the olympics today, hasn't the? there really has and it's been a very busy final hour or so in paris. it's the penultimate day. taiwanese boxer lin yu—ting — one of the fighters involved in the gender eligibility row at the olympics — has won gold in the featherweight category. lin and imane khelif — who won gold yesterday — are competing despite being disqualified from last year's world championships because the international boxing association says both fighters failed gender eligibility tests. it's been a golden couple of hours for team usa at the olympics — with victory in both the men's and women's 4 by 400 metres relay. the women did it in style too winning gold by nearly 100m from the rest of the field. they came within a whisker of breaking one of the longest standing olympic records — missing out on the ussr's winning time in 1988 by 0.1 seconds. netherlands took silver while team gb won bronze with a new british record.

and the usa needed an olympic record time to win the men's event. botswana pushed them all the way and took silver. britain again taking bronze. kenya's faith kipyegon has won a world record third consecutive gold medal in the women's i,500m. she broke away from the field on the final bend to win with ease. setting another record — fininshing in 3 minutes 51.29 seconds — a new olympic best. she's the first woman to win this event three times, and has done it in successive olympic years — 16, 20 and 24. jessica hull took silver for australia, and what a race by britian�*s georgia bell, who stuck to the leaders and found extra reserves in the final 50m to power into third place and take bronze. meanwhile in the men's 5,000 metres — redemption forjakob ingebrigtsen. after missing out on a medal in the 1500 metres medals, the norwegian has returned to the track to blow away the competition and win gold. ronald kwemoi of kenya took silver, with bronze going to usa and grent fisher.

china's incredible domination of diving continues. defending champion cao yuan has provided an historic 8th gold in eight events for team china in paris with an impressive win in the 10 metre platform final. he now has four golds in his career overall. rikuto tamai ofjapan took silver and britain's noah williams bronze. 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 on saturday. ko carded a one—under 71 in herfinal round, with germany's esther henseleit taking silver at 8—under overall and china's lin xiyu collecting bronze, a further stroke adrift. switzerland's morgane metraux, who'd started the day level with ko, signed for a final round seven—over 79 — leaving herself in a tie for 18th. 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 city have avenged their fa cup final defeat to manchester united — with pep guardiola's side winning the community shield at wembley. this is the season open. —— this is the season opener. garnacho had the lead with eight minutes to go but then bernardo silva equalised on 89 minutes, manchester city winning on penalties. 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. they've also agreed a fee for another bayern defender. morocco international noussair mazraoui. much more reaction to that and all

of the olympics on the bbc sport website but that's all from me for now. thanks very much. 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 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? 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 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.

—— with intense fighting close to the town of suja. and speaking tonight ukrainian president zelensky has acknowledged the attakce that is pushing the war into russia. translation: today i received several reports _ translation: today i received several reports regarding - translation: today i received several reports regarding the i translation: today i received i several reports regarding the front lines in our actions to push the water the aggressive's territory. i'm grateful to every unit of the defence forces ensuring ukraine is proving it can indeed restore justice and ensure the necessary pressure on the aggressor. our reporter oksana kundirenko has been telling me about the ukraine's military strategy behind this operation. 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 suja, 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, a hub for the russian gas that goes into ukraine and then

to the rest of europe. 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. 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. a contractor has removed it in case someone "rips it down and leaves it unsafe". the contractor said the artwork will be taken 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. stay with us here on bbc news. it has been turning drierfor england and wales. the code breaking up england and wales. the code breaking up as well. further north we have had more sunshine, breezy conditions, a few showers in scotland and temperatures today have been about average. in the next couple of days we will get a heat spike with temperatures riding rapidly and humidity too. but not everywhere, rain and thunderstorms

in some places. looking dry on the whole overnight, fewer showers across northern scotland, winds becoming lighter as well. still some cloud for the south—west of england and misty across the south coast. that cloud will keep it warm here. further north with clearer skies and light winds it'll be cool, temperatures down to 8 degrees. it'll warm up quickly in the sunshine and we will lose those showers in northern scotland. further south more of this patchy cloud around, the southerly breeze picks up along the south and it'll lift any of that mist and low cloud. it'll be a warmer day everywhere. the higher temperatures will be for england and wales. 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. the 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 is really on monday we will start to see this wet weather with thunder and lightning pushing eastwards mainly across the northern half of the uk. a few showers are possible in wales and the south—west but towards the south—east it'll be dry and sunny. the heat and humidity will be particularly uncomfortable through the midlands, lincolnshire, east anglia and the south—east, temperature could be 30 for money, and it could make 3a in the south—east, the hottest day of the year. —— 30 for many. more weather fronts coming in from the atlantic on tuesday. these will bring early rain into northern ireland. that rain into northern ireland. that rain will push into scotland and affect western parts of england and wales. still looking dry through the midlands and more sunshine across east anglia and the south—east where it'll be another very warm day on tuesday, just not as hot and as monday. —— not as hot and humid as

monday.

this is bbc news. the headlines... israel strikes a school building sheltering displaced palestinians in gaza city. the director of a local hospital says at least seventy people were killed. the israeli military says it killed 19 hamas and islamichhad members. bodies are recovered from the site of a plane crash in the brazilian state of sao paulo. all sixty two people on board were killed.

a spokesperson said the rescue effort was being complicated by rain, and could take days. the parents of bebe king — the six year old girl killed in the southport attack — pay tribute to their daughter. they say her sister — who's nine — witnessed the attack and managed to escape. and at the paris olympics — taiwan's lin yu—ting takes gold amid an ongoing row over her gender eligibility. and kenya makes history — winning the women's fifteen hundred metres for the third time in a row. welcome. more now on the israeli airstrike on a school housing displaced families in gaza city, which has left at least 70 palestinians dead. 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 procedures 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, 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's not a new technique — it was developed in india several 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? 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. let's look at the race for the white house 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. tonight, she arrives in las vegas, nevada, after addressing a packed arena in arizona last night. in her speech she emphasised how her experience fighting drug cartels as the attorney general of a border state, made her the best candidate to deal with immigration.

of a bounce for the democrats since joe biden stood down.— of a bounce for the democrats since joe biden stood down. a couple weeks aro joe biden stood down. a couple weeks auo i joe biden stood down. a couple weeks ago i would've — joe biden stood down. a couple weeks ago i would've told _ joe biden stood down. a couple weeks ago i would've told you _ joe biden stood down. a couple weeks ago i would've told you that _ joe biden stood down. a couple weeks ago i would've told you that i - joe biden stood down. a couple weeks ago i would've told you that i think - ago i would've told you that i think ago i would've told you that i think a majority— ago i would've told you that i think a majority of nevadans felt that they were doing better four years a-o they were doing better four years ago and _ they were doing better four years ago and that president trump was looking _ ago and that president trump was looking like he might be able to sail through the election here. that has absolutely changed. vice president harris has been the nominee _ president harris has been the nominee. she was elected unanimously about the _ nominee. she was elected unanimously about the nevada democratic delegates. she's gotten very strong support— delegates. she's gotten very strong support here. so far she has been to this date _ support here. so far she has been to this date already half a dozen times before _ this date already half a dozen times before she — this date already half a dozen times before she became the nominee. so she has— before she became the nominee. so she has already been fairly well received — she has already been fairly well received here. and it looks like she is going _ received here. and it looks like she is going to — received here. and it looks like she is going to fill in another arena. right _ is going to fill in another arena. right. what about in montana? have you seen the similar balance for the democrats they are in the polling? so far it's hard to say. we've had recent polling come out this week. we have had one of the most contested senate races in the country happening. montana has

primarily republican leadership. it isjon tester, a lone democrat and a top office. he is up for election this year in polling that came out this year in polling that came out this week shows he's in a dead heat with the republican challenger who trump came to montana to support and urged people to vote for him over tester. not only do we need to send donald trump to the white house we need to send republicans like tim with him to flip the senate so trump's policies can get done. what trump's policies can get done. what about this framing _ trump's policies can get done. what about this framing from _ trump's policies can get done. what about this framing from donald trump and his team from the harris ticket as being one of the radical left and these other sides coming and calling trump and his team weird. is that sticking as people —— are people buying into that, what do you think? in montana it's hard to say. last

night at his relic in president trump certainly discussed both of those things. he spent quite a bit of time. talking about vice president, harris framing them as a liberal ticket, a dangerous communist ticket is the language he would use. how that would impact people in montana, how it will impact the race againstjohn tester. it will remain to be seen. but he certainly was talking about harris and how she could impact her ticket could impact montana. aha, and how she could impact her ticket could impact montana.— and how she could impact her ticket could impact montana. a question for the democrats _ could impact montana. a question for the democrats having _ could impact montana. a question for the democrats having seen _ could impact montana. a question for the democrats having seen this - could impact montana. a question for the democrats having seen this sort l the democrats having seen this sort of recent improvements, whether this is a kind of honeymoon. that could run out. it is still a way to go until election day. we've still got the tv debate to come. do you think that it's particularly where you are the democrats could hold onto this slight improvement? that

the democrats could hold onto this slight improvement?— the democrats could hold onto this slight improvement? that is a really aood oint. slight improvement? that is a really good point. that's _ slight improvement? that is a really good point. that's something - slight improvement? that is a really good point. that's something i've i good point. that's something i've been _ good point. that's something i've been wondering myself. when does the enthusiasm _ been wondering myself. when does the enthusiasm wear out? we've got about 90 days— enthusiasm wear out? we've got about 90 days until the election. and she has got _ 90 days until the election. and she has got a _ 90 days until the election. and she has got a lot of ground to make up. just a _ has got a lot of ground to make up. just a few— has got a lot of ground to make up. just a few weeks ago it looked like donald _ just a few weeks ago it looked like donald trump was up by about double di-its donald trump was up by about double digits here _ donald trump was up by about double digits here. that of course has narrowed _ digits here. that of course has narrowed. now she may be up according _ narrowed. now she may be up according to some polling we have seen _ according to some polling we have seen it— according to some polling we have seen. it looks like maybe she can. of course — seen. it looks like maybe she can. of course nevada is an incredibly purple _ of course nevada is an incredibly purple state. and i say that because while _ purple state. and i say that because while democrats have won the presidential race here for the last several— presidential race here for the last several cycles, that wasn't always the case — several cycles, that wasn't always the case. this used to be a republican stronghold. we see on state—level elections, republicans still win_ state—level elections, republicans still win elections. we have a republican governor, republican auditor~ — republican governor, republican auditor. we have republicans in congress — auditor. we have republicans in congress here in the northern part of the _ congress here in the northern part of the state. so there are opportunities for republicans to win, especially if this is a low turnout — win, especially if this is a low turnout election for democrats. and ithink— turnout election for democrats. and i think that's going to be the big

question— i think that's going to be the big question in november is how galvanised are democrats at that point? _ galvanised are democrats at that oint? . , galvanised are democrats at that oint? ., , ., ., ,, ., point? 0k, really good to talk to ou both. point? 0k, really good to talk to you both. thank— point? 0k, really good to talk to you both. thank you _ point? 0k, really good to talk to you both. thank you so - point? 0k, really good to talk toj you both. thank you so much for point? 0k, really good to talk to - you both. thank you so much for your time. today thousands of people have attended anti—racism rallies across the uk in the wake ofanti—immigrant and far—right riots. this was the scene in belfast where anti—racism protesters gathered in the city centre after a week of disorder and racist attacks. the rally was organised by a collective of organisations, including the trade union movement, united against racism and end deportations belfast. and this is glasgow where hundreds of demonstrators gathered. scotland has so far not experienced any far—right riots with the majority of the disorder in england and northern ireland. one of the protests today was outside the headquarters of the reform uk party in central london. organisers said they had chosen the venue because of the party's

stance on immigration. nigel farage has distanced himself from the riots. our correspondent emily unia was at the protest. there's a very heavy police presence here in central london today. but nearly 1,000, possibly more than 1,000 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, we're delighted so many people have come out. this is in london, outside reform's hq - 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 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 will 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 they just don't have a voice in this country any more. well, look, 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 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 for your time. 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. we are getting reports that police in londonderry have been attacked with fireworks, petrol bombs and rocks this evening. the sporadic disorder involved around thirty nationalist youths in the city centre. police say they are trying to bring the situation under control and have urged people to avoid the area. let's turn to the latest in bangladesh following the violent unrest that led to the country's prime minister fleeing the country. well now, bangladesh's chief justice has resigned, under pressure for being seen as sympathetic to the previous government.

the annoucement came after thousands of people marched on the grounds of the bangladesh supreme court, ignoring requests by the military to vacate the premises. our south asia correspondent samira hussein is at the protests. you can hear the sounds of protesters chanting. there are thousands of people just a few hundred feet away from me. and they are here to protest because of the violence that is being inflicted on many of the minority communities here in bangladesh. now, hindus make up here in bangladesh. now, hindus make up about 8% of the population and we have heard reports of their homes and businesses being vandalized, even temples too, some have even been burnt. and it's notjust the hindu minorities that are being impacted here. we are also curing of reports of other minority communities in bangladesh that are victim to this kind of vigilante is

on. this is not the first protest i've actually attended today. there was a whole other protest happening at the supreme court and i mentioned thatjust to give you a sense of what it is like on the streets of the capital, there is all this concern about lawlessness, there is no police force, in fact, you look around here, there is no one that's actually managing any of these crowds. itjust shows you just actually managing any of these crowds. it just shows you just what kind of an absence there is in terms of any kind of law and order. yes, these protests are peaceful. the protests earlier today were peaceful. but there is growing concern among the people in this city about what is going to happen in the next couple of days in this country. a man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder, after a shooting in east london in may which left a 9 year old seriously injured. the girl was eating dinner with her family at a restaurant in dalston, when a motorcyclist fired shots

towards the building. the girl is still in hospital and last month her parents said she may never speak or move properly again. 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. we're into the second week of edinburgh festival fringe — billed as "one of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture on the planet". thousands of artists from all over the world are in the scottish capital for the event. and there to meet some of them is our reporter, courtney bembridge. i've got tim licata here with me. he's bringing a theatrical magic show to fringe this year. tell me about it, tim. it's called close up and personal, and it's actually the story about how i became a magician,

which not many people know. as usual, for many magicians, it was a magic set at christmas. but for me, there were some also more unusual influences that i talk about in the show. i have a new york italian family, and it was actually my italian uncle, sal — my father's brother — who taught me my first magic tricks. and legend has it, sal had some possible mafia connections. so there's a bit of mafia lore that i talk about. so a bit of mafia, a bit of magic. something for everyone, then. can you show us a little bit about what's going to be in the show? i would love to. i'm usually a close—up magician. this is a stage show, so i do some classic stage magic tricks, but i usually do close—up magic and i love to work with the imagination. so, will you help me out? of course. excellent. we're going to need someone else in a moment. so, er, courtney, yes? yes. i want you to... as we know, the imagination

is a very important, very powerful thing. i'd like you to imagine on the little table here. oh, we have to do this first. sorry. forgot about that. very important. claire, would you come put a hand on top of my hand, please? just make sure i don't move that hand, ok? so, courtney, on the little table, i want you to imagine four coins, there's a 10p, 20p, 50p and £1. yeah. 10p, 20p, 50p and £1. really try to visualise them. you can all do that. but it's courtney's choices that count. 0k. so, we're not going to use all four coins. courtney, we need to get rid of a couple of coins. so without thinking too much about it, first instinct, i want you to reach out, pick up two of those coins now. excellent. what did you choose? what did you leave on the table? what did you choose? i took the two lowest coins —10p, 20p. so you left the 50 and the £1? yes. happy with that? yes. you can swap if you like? no, happy with that. 50p, £1. once again, don't think too much. i want you to put one of those coins in my hand now. no, one of these that you left. oh, one of these. 0k.

uh... excellent. and you take the other. what did you choose? what did you put in my hand? i've got 50, you've got £1. you chose the 50? yeah. you happy with that? you can swap if you like? i'm happy with that. 50p. toss it in the air and catch it. did it land heads or tails? er, it landed heads. wonderful. didn't even have to look at it. wonderful imagination. open your hand up, let us see. excellent. courtney, you made all the choices. you got rid of a couple of coins, chose the 50p. i asked you if you wanted to swap, you said no, tossed it in the air and you said it landed heads facing up? before anything becomes reality, it starts in the imagination. claire, have i moved my hand? not at all. you can let go now, because i have a coin as well. it's a 50p that landed there. wow! 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 austrian public broadcasting corporation, orf says it will show the film of the "taylor swift: the eras tour" concert recorded in la as a worldwide exclusive free tv premiere on saturday night. it follows the cancellation of the three taylor swift vienna concerts, after police said they had uncovered plans for attacks at the venue. a number of events are being organised for disappointed swift fans across vienna. 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 — but as our reporter andrew turner's been finding out, chocolate 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. really need a hot chocolate now after that. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. it's been turning dryer for 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 clearer skies and light winds, it's going to be quite cool. temperatures could be down to 7—8 celsius. 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. a 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 temperatures will be for england and wales — widely into the mid—20s. we could get close to 30 celsius in the southeast of england. it's been very hot in spain — that heat is moving northwards into france and into the uk, particularly across southeastern 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 and the southwest, but towards the southeast, it will be dry and sunny. and the heat and humidity will be particularly uncomfortable through the midlands, lincolnshire, east anglia, and the southeast. temperatures 30 celsius for many — could make 3a in the southeast 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 southeast, where it's going to be another very warm day on tuesday. just not as hot and as humid as monday.

live from london. this is bbc news. israel strikes a school building sheltering displaced palestinians in gaza city, killing at least 70 people. israel says it killed 19 hamas and islamichhad members. bodies are recovered from the site of a plane crash in the brazilian state of sao paulo. all 62 people on board were killed. the parents of bebe king, the six—year—old girl killed in the southport attack —

pay tribute to their daughter. they say her sister witnessed the attack and managed to escape. and at the paris olympics — taiwan's lin yu—ting takes gold amid an ongoing row over her gender eligibility. 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. 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 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
