georgia anti—racism protests across the uk. bell is so close and britain's georgia bell, who gave up running seven years ago, returns to clinch a sensational bronze in the 1500 metres. hello, i'm lucy gray. welcome to the programme. we start in the middle east, where dozens of palestinians have been killed in an israeli air strike 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 combatant". 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 chiefjosep 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 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. 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. nebal farsakh is a spokesperson for the palestine red crescent society,

who have been dealing with casualties at the school building in gaza city. the palestine red crescent ambulance teams responded to the attack on a 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, in terms of who the victims were? as our colleagues told us, there were a lot of children and women. many of the injuries were chaotically injured, with burns and amputated feet. 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 says over and over that there is no safe place in gaza.

for the past ten months, civilians in gaza have experienced terror, starvation and immeasurable losses. for even those civilians who managed to survive, they truly think that they might be killed at any minute. they feel abandoned. they feel that 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 or to alleviate this suffering. for the past ten months, civilians and the entire population in gaza, they live underan unimaginable situation 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 a place to another where some families truly 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 the israelis, trying to justify such attacks where the international community is clear civilians shou;d be protected. community is clear civilians should be protected. as our 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. and since the beginning of the war,

we have seen how, systematically, israel is targeting civilians in shelters, in unrwa schools, 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. nebal farsakh from the palestine red crescent society. 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've paid tribute to their younger daughter, describing her as full ofjoy and light. bebe was killed alongside seven—year—old elsie dot stancombe and nine—year—old alice da silva aguiar when a man with a knife attacked a holiday club event. 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... 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.

the 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. 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 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, i suppose, 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 what i see it last week is not nice. but nobody from round here. i know the uk and northern ireland is a country of tolerance _ between all of the religions, 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. 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're 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, you know, the hostile regime against, you know, brown and black people and immigrants is not on and we won't have it certainly in glasgow, you know, with its history of, like, socialism and inclusion. while thousands of antiracism protestors have been taking to the streets, there are far fewer riots compared with earlier in the week, as our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, explained. we've had two, three days now of no rioting, and it was quite marked, the change from there being trouble to there not being trouble. there are probably two reasons for that. partly, those protests on the other side — protests by anti—racist campaigners, people who are pro—immigration, filling up the streets with their own people —

perhaps putting off the other side from coming out. but i think also the government's very high—profile policy of making sure thatjustice is getting done quickly and it's being seen to be done... so quickly, isn't it? i mean, you know, arrested one day and in court the next day. well, the lucky thing for the government is a lot of these cases are cases that would not go to a crown court. they would only be heard in a magistrates' court. and if you look through the lists of people who've ended up in court, a lot of them are pleading guilty. so that is quick. and if magistrates can put people through a trial today, one day, then that is quick too. some people are going to go to a crown court. but that has the effect of telling people, "you could well be caught and prosecuted if you take part in this sort of thing." and i think 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're talking about here — violent disorder, arson, attacking people from the emergency services — what police are doing is they're simply looking at footage that they have gathered of these protests and then following up later raiding houses and arresting people.

and that is what they've always done, really, in policing public order in the past. they worry about the danger on the day, first of all. then they move in and make arrests later. and there's the facial recognition equipment that they're using as well. and you can even tell who people are when they've got the masks on, haven't they? i mean, you see some people with the mask on and very distinctive tattoos, which probably helps the police in that, but there's all sorts of tools that they've got at their disposal. and i suppose this country is full of cctv, isn't it? i mean, that's the big help. it is one of the most surveilled countries in the world. and of course, when these protests happen, all the cameras in the street — the council, the local authorities, the local government control — are turned on what's going on. there are police evidence gathering teams who are designed and trained to get out there and film everybody�*s faces so that somebody might be filmed half an hour before they then commit an offence. and of course, if you can see them clearly beforehand, you can arrest them for the thing that they did half an hour later.

so it is going to be a big operation. it's going to dominate the courts and it's going to dominate prisons, i think, for some time, because we're up to... what are the numbers at the moment? 779 arrests, 349 charges. well, the government already has a problem with full prisons, and they're going to get a lot fuller, i think. tom symonds there. a number of police officers have been injured in londonderry after coming under attack by a group of around a0 youths this evening. petrol bombs, fireworks and bricks have been thrown at police in the city centre. police say the disorder is presenting a "serious risk to the safety of residents in the area". a sinn fein councillor has also appealed for calm. earlier, a large protestant band parade, the annual apprentice boys march, passed off peacefully nearby. let's take a quick look at tomorrow's front page. a number of the papers — including the mirror— report that the sister of the southport stabbings victim bebe king witnessed the attack but managed to escape. in a statement, the parents

of bebe king paid tribute to their older daughter genie�*s "incredible strength and courage." the telegraph also features the same picture of bebe with her parents and older sister on its front page. in another story, the paper claims that some nhs x—ray operators have been told to ask men if they are pregnant before carrying out scans as part of inclusivity guidance. as the authorities wait to see if there is any more unrest over the weekend, the chief prosecutor has warned in the sunday times that hundreds more will go to court. the observer leads with a warning from thejustice secretary that the recent riots will set back efforts to rebuild the justice system. writing in the paper, shabana mahmood says "rising to the challenge has been made harder by the justice system inherited from the conservatives." the paper also says that the prime minister is facing calls to launch a review of the causes of the riots, which have so far led to more than 700 arrests. elsewhere, after a weekend of campaigning by the us presidential candidates, the observer reports that kamala harris is ahead of donald trump in three key

swing states — michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. that's according to a poll by the new york times and siena college. and the mail on sunday alleges that sir keir starmer�*s chief of staff is blocking access to vital security briefings. the papers says whitehall sources accuse sue gray of "thinking she runs the country." allies of ms gray told the paper that any "gatekeeping" would likely have been an attempt to help the pm cope with his workload. 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 sudzha. and speaking tonight, ukrainian president zelensky has acknowledged the attack that is pushing the war into russia. translation: today, i received i several reports regarding the front lines and our actions to push the war onto the aggressor�*s territory. i am grateful to every unit of the defence forces, ensuring that ukraine is proving that 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 distract 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, it's an 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, and i suppose the question is how long ukraine can carry on where it is before it's overstretched itself. in terms of, you said it's very hard because there's so little information coming, 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 the 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 the ukrainian army has taken this or that village. for example, one of these videos we can show now, it is the video of a ukrainian battalion taking the gazprom office in the town of sudzha. 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 sudzha, 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 got any inch of our land", and this is obviously not true. yeah. 0 ksa na 0ksana kundirenko, our reporter, talking to me a little earlier. 0n the penultimate day of the olympics, team gb have won six medals. half of them coming on the athletics track. natalie pirks was watching at the stade de france. britain's georgia bell woke up this morning feeling good. something special was coming. world record holder faith kipyegon had her eyes firmly fixed on history. there goes kipyegon! but if bell could just stay with her, the podium was possible. georgia bell trying to stay in touch! no athlete had ever won three 0lympic titles in the 1500 metres, before now. kipyegon kicks away! georgia bell gets the bronze. laura muir was fifth, but for bell, a sense of fate. paris was where she came into the world and where she announced herself to it

30 years later. i don't know if i've ever been this happy. i woke up really calm and in a really good mood and i just thought... i'm not the fastest person in that race, but i thought if i was brave and just got stuck in, then i could make something special happen. so, yeah, i'm overthe moon — olympic medallist! rapid heart rates continued in the relays — happy hunting grounds for britain. in the men's 400 metres, the reigning champions were the clear favourites. this is where you'd expect the usa to take control. but as botswana scared them into an olympic record, britain ran clear of the rest for bronze — in a european record time. wow, they worked hard for the bronze, but now what can the women do? with the us so dominant, the battle was for silver and bronze. and as femke bol streaked ahead for the netherlands, amber anning helped set another british record for another brilliant bronze. happy and glorious —

top guns who felt the need for speed, as the curtain came down at the track with british athletics' biggest medal haul in a0 years. natalie pirks, bbc news, paris. away from the track, great britain have won medals in diving and taekwondo today — as well as their first ever olympic medal in artistic swimming. katie gornall reports. please welcome great britain... their names are now part of british sporting history. team gb had never won a medal in artistic swimming. kate shortman and izzy thorpe were about to see to that. the lifelong friends, whose mothers also competed together, were in fourth ahead of their free routine. so fluid in their movements! their performance was inspired by a rising phoenix. after their struggles in tokyo, it felt fitting. when the scores came in, they could barely believe it — the highest of the night. they were guaranteed a medal, but what colour? 0nly china, the favourites, could deny them gold. a wonderful routine.

well, that result for china confirms that britain have won a silver medal. three years ago, they finished 14th in tokyo. now they've made the podium and made history. honestly, it feels like a dream. i can't believe... i can't believe it. we have worked so hard to get here. in the grand surroundings of the grand palais, caden cunningham — here in blue — already had a silver secured. he wanted more. he took the first round, but his iranian opponent arian salimi fought back in their heavyweight taekwondo final, taking it to a decider before snatching gold with a headshot in the dying seconds. still, the future looks bright for the 21—year—old. if i choose something else, i'll choose something else and i'll master it. if i stay in this, i'll be the king of taekwondo for the next four years, no problem. for a while, noah williams has been in tom daley�*s shadow. earlier, he seized the spotlight. he cannot believe it! in the men's ten metre platform

final, he looked out of contention until his last dive. yes! oh, wow! that is going to be it. it was nearly perfect and they knew it. a nervous wait followed, but as his rivals faltered, his place on the podium was confirmed — britain's only individual diving medal at these games. and just ten weeks after taking charge, emma hayes has made america great again. here's swanson! the former chelsea boss guided the usa to a 1—0 win in their final against brazil. katie gornall, bbc news, paris. a second competitor in the women's boxing events has now won gold after being embroiled in an eligibility row. the pair were disqualified from last year's world championships for failing gender eligibility tests. taiwan's lin yu—ting has won the women's featherweight boxing after defeating poland's julia szeremeta. and the algerian fighter imane khelif won gold in the welterweight category yesterday. khelif has filed a legal complaint with paris prosecutors

for online harassment. the boxer described some of the comments made online as immoral. a new banksy artwork in london — the sixth 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. hello. sunday promises to be a sunny day across many parts of the uk and turning really quite hot across the south of the country. the outlook into monday points to even hotter weather and the possibility of some big showers and thunderstorms in the north—west of the uk. so here's the morning, then, on sunday.

admittedly, it will be a little cloudy to start with in the south, perhaps some mist and murk and coastal fog, particularly in the south—west. a bit of drizzle too, but the rest of the uk, it's sunshine all round, right from the word go. now, we may have to wait a little bit across the south before that sun breaks through, but i think come the afternoon, it really will be that strong sunshine beating down on us nationwide. so how hot is it going to get on sunday? well, typically in the mid to high 20s across wales and england, but one or two spots could reach 30 in the south. more comfortable across northern ireland and scotland — low 20s here, but of course gloriously sunny. and then there will be some changes on the way come monday. a cold front is going to sweep off the atlantic. behind it, we've got cooler air. ahead of this weather front, hot air is spreading in from the south. look how hot it's going to be on monday across the north of france — high 30s. and that hot air is going to clip the uk. so let's see what's happening,

then, early on monday. we've got cool air spreading in off the atlantic, that very hot air spreading out of france. where it clashes, we'll see storms breaking out here in the north—west of the uk. very difficult to pinpoint where they're going to be, but they will be spreading towards the north—west. and the temperatures, around 20 or so in the north—west, but widely into the 30s across england and possibly the mid 30s around london and the south—east. so a very hot day to come for some of us on monday, and the humidity will increase as well. it really will feel quite uncomfortable. now, tuesday, these weatherfronts and low pressures basically win. they sweep across the uk, and all of that heat will be pushed towards more central and eastern parts of europe. now, there will be still some warmth left, i think, across eastern parts of the uk on tuesday — possibly the high 20s, 27, 28 celsius. but look at the values here, already dropping into the low 20s across wales and parts of western

england. this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines at the top of the hout, we'll have the headlines at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. hello. i'm katie razzall. this week: what role has online misinformation played in fuelling riots across parts of the uk? and an update on the ongoing saga of the netflix hit show baby reindeer. it's all coming up on the media show. commotion parts of the uk have seen looting and race—based attacks, some centred around hotels housing asylum seekers — scenes the british prime minister condemned as "far—right thuggery". i guarantee you will regret

taking part in this disorder,
