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 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 strike 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. israel struck before dawn, shattering the sanctity of morning prayer. thousands of displaced civilians

were sheltering here, a place of refuge suddenly a scene of carnage. "there isn't any safe place," this woman cries. "no place is safe." "where is the world," he asks, "why does it stay silent in the face of these crimes?" how many times have gaza's ravaged walls echoed to the sound of a mother's grief? umm says three of her sons were killed. "i'm 80," she sobs, "i've never seen anything like this before. the way they're bombing us is like an earthquake." but israel claims this was a legitimate target, that the school housed a hamas command centre. in a statement on social media, an israeli defence force spokesman said around 20 hamas and islamic jihad 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. and as palestinians mourn their dead and take shelter for another fearful night, it's hard to see hope in the ruins of gaza. jenny hill, bbc news, tel aviv. girls who died in a knife attack at a holiday dance class in southport, have revealed that her elder sister saw the attack — but managed to escape.

nebal farsakh is a spokesperson for the palestine red crescent society — who have been dealing with casualties at the school building in gaza city. what have your colleagues been telling you about 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 were talking to one surgeon earlier who said a disproportionate number of people affected in the attack were children. what did you find out in terms of who the victims were? as our colleagues told 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. 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. 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.

—— have been forced to flee at least 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. 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 reports. 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. 0ne 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 under way 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 caused engine failure. 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 have lost their lives. simon jones, bbc news. 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. 0livia 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. 0livia richwald, bbc news, southport. well disinformation that the southport suspect was a muslim asylum seeker led to anti—immigrant and far—right riots in the days after the attack. today thousands of people attended anti—racism rallies across the uk.

one of the protests today was outside the headquarters of the reform uk party in central london. 0rganisers said they had chosen the venue because of the party's stance on immigration. 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. people told us how they felt about the riots. 0n the one hand it's been really, really negative. people are seeing the elements in our society that really reject our newcomer communities and are really willing to take out all their frustrations on those below them rather than the people who are actually responsible. but on the other hand it's been a really popular uprising of people.

i mean, look at the numbers of people here today. last night, the negative side, isuppose, was outnumbered massively. the positive messages are starting to get through. i live here nearly about 23 years. first time i see it in my life. always have here so many friends, never having a problem, nothing, but when i see it last week it's not nice. but nobody from round here. i know the uk and northern ireland is a country of tolerance _ between all of the religions - for islam, christianity and judaism, but what i saw here in belfast, it's not good for the image - for the international image - of the uk and northern ireland but i am sure it will end very fast. 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. people there told us why they'd come out. we are here to show there are many, many more of us than the racist

people that are being violent and, yeah, to make people maybe feel more welcome and safer in scotland. we're just here to show solidarity with our hearts and our feet that, you know, fascists and the, you know, the hostile regime against, you know, brown and black people and immigrants is not on and we won't have it certainly glasgow, you know, with its history of, like, socialism and inclusion. there has been some limited disorder in londonderry, in northern ireland — where police have this evening been attacked with fireworks, petrol bombs and rocks. the attacks involved around 30 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. earlier a large protestant band parade, the annual apprentice boys march, passed off peacefully nearby. with me is tom symonds, another largely peaceful day. is this down to the sentencing we've seen? police will be relieved we have had

two, three days now of no rioting and it was quite mild the change from their being trouble and to their not being troubled. —— there not being troubled. there are people who are pro—immigration who were filling up the streets with their own people, perhaps they were putting off people coming from the other side. also the government's high profile thatjustice is getting done really quickly. so high profile thatjustice is getting done really quickly.— done really quickly. so quickly. arrested one _ done really quickly. so quickly. arrested one day _ done really quickly. so quickly. arrested one day and - done really quickly. so quickly. arrested one day and in - done really quickly. so quickly. arrested one day and in court l done really quickly. so quickly. i arrested one day and in court the next day. arrested one day and in court the next da . ., next day. the lucky thing for the government _ next day. the lucky thing for the government is _ next day. the lucky thing for the government is that _ next day. the lucky thing for the government is that these - next day. the lucky thing for the government is that these are . next day. the lucky thing for the i government is that these are cases that would only be heard in a magistrates�* court and if you look through the lists of people who have ended up in court a lot of them are pleading guilty so that�*s quick and if magistrates can put people through a trial today, one day, then thatis through a trial today, one day, then that is also quick. some people will go to a crown court. but that has the effect of telling people you could be prosecuted if you take part

in that sort of thing. probably people who did take part are realising that not being arrested on the day doesn�*t mean they won�*t be arrested down the line. the sorts of offences we are talking about are arson, violent disorder, attacking emergency service people. the police are looking at footage they�*ve gathered from these protests and they are following up afterwards, raiding houses and arresting people. they�*ve always done that in policing public order in the past. they worry about the danger on the day first of all and then they move in and make arrests later. all and then they move in and make arrests later-— arrests later. there is the facial recognition _ arrests later. there is the facial recognition equipment - arrests later. there is the facial recognition equipment they - arrests later. there is the facial recognition equipment they are | arrests later. there is the facial - recognition equipment they are using as well. you can even tell who people are when they have masks on. you see some people with a mask on and distinctive tattoos which probably helps the police. there are all sorts of tools they have at their disposal and i suppose this country is full of cctv, isn�*t it, and that�*s a big help? it is country is full of cctv, isn't it, and that's a big help?- country is full of cctv, isn't it, and that's a big help? it is one of the most surveilled _ and that's a big help? it is one of the most surveilled countries - and that's a big help? it is one of the most surveilled countries in l and that's a big help? it is one of i the most surveilled countries in the world. when these protests happen all of the cameras in the street,

the council and the local authorities turned them onto what is going on. there are evidence gathering teams at the police who are designed and trained to get out and film everybody�*s faces so somebody might be filled half an hour before they then commit an offence and if you can see them clearly beforehand you can arrest them for the thing they did half an hour later. it�*s going to be a big operation and it�*ll dominate the courts and it�*ll dominate prisons, i think, for some time. we are up to 779 arrests, 349 charges. the government already has a problem with full prisons and they are going to get a lot fuller, i think. fix, to get a lot fuller, i think. a quick word on londonderry, i mentioned it briefly, this limited protest we have seen there. can you tell us some more? i protest we have seen there. can you tell us some more?— tell us some more? i have seen a u-rou tell us some more? i have seen a a-rou of tell us some more? i have seen a grouo of about — tell us some more? i have seen a group of about 30 _ tell us some more? i have seen a group of about 30 youths - tell us some more? i have seen a group of about 30 youths moving | group of about 30 youths moving quite close to a line of police vehicles throwing petrol bombs at the front of them and flames erupting from the windscreens and the bonnets from those police vehicles. they are designed to take that sort of attack. these appear to

be around 30 nationalist youths involved in this. the police are trying to keep it under control. they want people to avoid the area. it may be a response to an earlier protestant band parade which takes place every year around this time in londonderry. not really linked to any of the protests we�*ve been talking about this week, just a separate type of violence, really. thanks very much. now to events in russia where the 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 security 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 suja. and speaking tonight ukrainian president zelensky has acknowledged the attakce that is pushing the war into russia. translation: today i received i several reports regarding the front lines in our actions to push the war onto the aggressor�*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. 0ur reporter 0ksana 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. 0n 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. a new banksy artwork in london — the 6th piece of animal themed work that�*s appeared in a week — has already been taken down. it was an image of a stretching cat on an old billboard — but hours after it went up, a number of men arrived and told the bbc they�*d been hired to remove the billboard for safety reasons. bhavani vadde reports. the meaning of this mural may be as elusive as the artist himself, but it didn�*t stay up for long. this cat silhouette is the sixth surprise that the bristol—based artist banksy sprung in london this week. this one in cricklewood in north—west london was taken down on the day that it appeared.

this man said he was a contractor for the billboard�*s owners. i�*ve just got a phone call to come and take it down. it�*s just... ..a bit of paint at the end of the day. we don�*t take banksys down every day obviously, but, yeah... we�*ll do our best to preserve it, if he wants to come and collect it. it's a shame really. but as you can see, there's quite a lot of people here today. it's quite nice for cricklewood. the street art must. remain in the street. it�*s going to be taken down, which is probably best for the safety because people want to take it or deface it. speculation continues about any deeper meaning to the animal artworks, as well as what banksy may reveal in coming days. bhavani vadde, bbc news. we can show you some of the other artworks by banksy that have turned up. that is the goat in kew, west

london, there is a cctv camera next to it. people have been walking around london today looking at them all. i think the elephants are in chelsea. there are some monkeys in brick lane in east london. and the wolf howling towards the sky which we think was taken down. stay with us. thanks for watching. hello there. it�*s been turning drier 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 34 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. 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 34 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
