were being killed in gaza. 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 defense forces spokesman said around 20 hamas and islamichhad militants were operating out of the compound. israel's 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.

the us vice president and democratic presidential nominee kamala harris also echoed the white house's condemnation of the loss of civilian life in saturday's deadly israeli air strike on a school compound in gaza. take a listen. you know, yet again, far too many civilians have been killed. i mean, israel has a right to go after the terrorists of her masts but as i have said many, many times, they also have, i believe, an important responsibility to avoid civilian casualties ——of hamas. mohamed taha from bbc arabic is with me in the studio. good to see you. 2a hours, over 24 good to see you. 2a hours, over 2a hours now on from this air strike. what are we learning? lots of international condemnation for the amount of

civilian deaths in this strike. an arab country is requesting an urgent meeting for the un council to discuss the matter, algeria. and, of course, calling for israel to constrain. israel however continues hitting some parts of rafah, khan younis and lots of parts in the eastern khan younis to evacuate and we are expecting more strikes in the coming hours. this is what is happening normally when they ask people to evacuate. hamas denies completely that there were fighters of them in the compound or in the prayer area. israel issued a statement, named the 20 people or so who is well are saying belong to hamas and they were in the compound and hamas said these fighters were killed previously

in previous occasions and there are clear instructions for their fighters not to are clear instructions for theirfighters not to mix are clear instructions for their fighters not to mix with their fighters not to mix with the civilians and even if there were fighters in this area, they wouldn't be praying with they wouldn't be praying with the people in the school. you mentioned — the people in the school. you mentioned the _ the people in the school. you mentioned the international condemnation from the likes of algeria, also the white house and vice president kamala harris, saying too many civilians have been killed in this conflict. the possibility of a un security council meeting. is it likely to exert any pressure? {iii meeting. is it likely to exert any pressure?— meeting. is it likely to exert an ressure? , , , any pressure? of course because now, any pressure? of course because now. there _ any pressure? of course because now. there is _ any pressure? of course because now, there is mounting - any pressure? of course because now, there is mounting pressure| now, there is mounting pressure on israel to return back to the negotiating table. 0n on israel to return back to the negotiating table. on thursday, as suggested by the united states. if the un council would come and have a statement that is calling on both parties to return back to the negotiating table, that would be a positive. it could also place

pressure on israel to avoid such targeting to shelter places because it became a systematic practice from the israeli army that they would target schools, hospitals and places that they are taking shelter and even though places that the israel army would suggest that they are safe places but they return back and strike these places. find places but they return back and strike these places.— strike these places. and also re orts strike these places. and also reports today _ strike these places. and also reports today amid _ strike these places. and also reports today amid concerns | strike these places. and also l reports today amid concerns of a broader regional war, exchange of fire between hezbollah and israel. what more can you tell us?— can you tell us? this is another _ can you tell us? this is another front - can you tell us? this is another front but - can you tell us? this is another front but is - can you tell us? this is l another front but is open can you tell us? this is - another front but is open now in this war. we saw that hezbollah struck new places in northern israel and wide areas

boost the morale inside the country as well and we hope it shows to the world that we can fight back and the world should be supporting us.— be supporting us. inna, you talk about— be supporting us. inna, you talk about that _ be supporting us. inna, you talk about that boost - be supporting us. inna, you talk about that boost of - be supporting us. inna, you| talk about that boost of birol but i'm wondering if ukrainians are at all about the potential of an escalation russia has been claiming to have used a thermobaric bomb in response, capable of vaporising when it comes into contact with —— boost of morale. talk to us about any concerns for escalation from the kremlin. truth be told, its very difficult for us to imagine what escalation looks like. we're not talking nuclear option is there but other than that, we have seen it all. we have seen missiles hitting the city centre, we have seen results in the children's hospital, we have seen thermobaric bomb is being used on the front lines in the ukrainian territories so it's not news for us. we've witnessed this night, yet

another attack, a missile attack into cave and other cities in ukraine but that is something that we've been experiencing for 2.5 years —— into kyiv. so that's nothing new happening. will there be a response? yes, there will be some sort of response. we'll be worse than what we have been living through for the last 2.5 years? i living through for the last 2.5 ears? ., , living through for the last 2.5 ears? . , ., �* ~' living through for the last 2.5 ears? ., , ., �* ,, years? i really don't think so. briefl , years? i really don't think so. briefly. if— years? i really don't think so. briefly. if you _ years? i really don't think so. briefly, if you don't _ years? i really don't think so. briefly, if you don't mind, - briefly, if you don't mind, what do you think the aim here is from the ukrainian military? is it to send a message all the potential for this to fan out further, to try to take territory in russia? truth be told, of course, _ territory in russia? truth be told, of course, we - territory in russia? truth be told, of course, we don't . territory in russia? truth be i told, of course, we don't need any territory in russia but we need the russian people to see what war means, the reality of war, what does it mean? we need to distract the russian military from the front lines on the ukrainian territory and then we will see how slowly they respond with that. i don't want to move out their brigades from the front one in ukraine or the east or the south so i think the military goals here

are most important. we need to distract them from other front lines so we can proceed there and take back our territory. that's our only goal, after all. everyone, an mp in the ukrainian parliamentjoining us ukrainian parliament joining us from ukrainian parliamentjoining us from berlin, we should say. thank you as always for sharing your thoughts. emergency teams in brazil have retrieved all the bodies from the site of a plane crash near the city of sao paulo. all 62 people on board were killed. among the victims are a group of doctors, university students and three members of a venezuelan family who were returning to their country. an investigation is underway to establish the cause of the disaster. simonjones has the details — a warning that you may find his report upsetting. 58 passengers, four crew members, no survivors. as the plane spiralled towards the ground, witnesses could only look on in horror. but what caused this flight to come down? translation: the plane passed over us. - we thought it was going

all eyes have been on paris in the last couple of weeks as the olympic games have been taking place but another major sporting event happened this weekend that you may have missed — the wife—carrying championship was staged in central hungary. the bbc�*s tim allman followed the action. in many ways, a successful sporting double act is a bit like a marriage. there must be trust, partnership, commitment and in this case, a lot of mud. these days, competitors don't actually have to be husband and wife. women can carry men, men can carry women— as long as someone can carry women— as long as someone is carrying someone. translation: it someone is carrying someone. translation:— translation: it was really nood, translation: it was really good, exciting. _ translation: it was really good, exciting. although i translation: it was really good, exciting. although it| translation: it was really - good, exciting. although it was a little difficult. well, not for me. �* ,, �* a little difficult. well, not. for me._ for a little difficult. well, not - for me._ for me, it for me. translation: for me, it was difficult- _

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 northwest of the uk. very difficult to pinpoint where they're going to be but they will be spreading towards the northwest. and the temperatures — around 20 or so in the northwest but widely into the 30s across england and possibly the mid 30s around london and the southeast. 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 weather fronts 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. the headlines: us vice president kamala harris has echoed the white house's condemnation of the loss of civilian life in saturday's israeli air strike on a school compound in gaza. thousands of displaced palestinians had been sheltering in the building. the hospital's head told the bbc at least 70 people had been killed. the first of three funerals for the young girls killed at a taylor swift
