david lammy and the french foreign minister stephane sejourne are injerusalem, meeting their israeli counterpart, israel katz. the pair have also been visiting the occupied palestinian territories. all this as negotiations continued in qatar, with officials from the us, qatar and egypt meeting an israeli delegation to try to secure a ceasefire deal in the israel—gaza war. hamas representatives did not attend negotiations but were kept informed. well, in the past hour a joint statement was issued by the mediators that the us had presented a ceasefire proposal that �*closes the remaining gaps in a manner that allows for a swift implementation of the deal�*. the talks have been paused and will resume next week. and israel announced that the us secretary of state, antony blinken, and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu are expected to

meet in person on monday. meanwhile, the un has described a deadly attack by israeli settlers on a village in the occupied west bank as �*horrific�*. the settlers set cars and houses ablaze as they descended on the village ofjit, armed with batons, rocks and molotov cocktails. at least one palestinian was killed and others seriously injured. thousands gathered injit for the funeral of the man killed in the settler attack. david lammy condemned the violence as �*abhorrent�*. the scenes overnight, of the burning and the of the molotov cocktails thrown at cars, of the widespread rampage and chasing of people from their homes, is abhorrent. and i condemn it in the strongest of terms.

let's speak to our correspondent jenny hill who's in tel aviv. we have had that statement came ancient, a joint statement from those ceasefire talks in doha, can you tell us more about what was said and what we can beat into it? this statement was _ and what we can beat into it? this statement was very _ and what we can beat into it? ti 3 statement was very positive. the wording was rather complicated. i think we can draw two conclusions. the first is that getting a ceasefire and hotly return deal is going to take more time. negotiators said they would meet again in cairo before the end of next week in order to continue work on any potential agreement. we are told this is a us proposal which builds on earlier proposals. we also can conclude from this and other events that the us is continuing to push really hard to get this over the line. it is reported that the us secretary of state antony blinken will come to

the region over the weekend and hold talks with the israeli prime minister. benjamin netanyahu, on monday, presumably to convince him of the benefits of agreeing such a deal. in the meantime we have heard from a senior hamas leader who told the bbc that having had the leadership of the group informed of today's results, what they have been told is not, he said, include a commitment to implement what was agreed earlier injuly. you will remember that hamas had decided it didn't want to participate in these negotiations. arguing that it didn't want to renegotiate anything and accusing the israelis, who denied it, of bringing in new conditions to existing proposals. they are responsible be crucial. the negotiators know that time is really not on their site. iran and its proxies, including hezbollah, had promised to avenge the killing of

the political leader of hamas in tehran two weeks ago. by attacking israel. it is widely thought about the prospect of a ceasefire at hostage release deal is on the table and perhaps reached, those threats might not be carried through, and those negotiators know that apart from the human cost of the war in gaza, there is a chance that if they agree this deal, it could be stopped from spilling over into a much wider regional conflict.— the un has recorded hundreds of settler attacks since the hamas assault on israel last october. bbc verify�*s merlyn thomas has been looking at video posted on social media of this latest incident. this was the scene in the village ofjit, in the occupied west bank, after a group of israeli settlers reportedly attacked various properties and vehicles. the palestinian health ministry has said that at least one person has been killed. we've been investigating online footage of the attack and its aftermath to try to piece

together what happened. the village is located here, just west of nablus in the west bank, and cctv has emerged online showing a group of individuals setting a car on fire outside a house. and the time stamp on this footage shows 19.49, which appears to be consistent with what eyewitnesses told the bbc of the attack taking place just after sunset, which is around 19.20. note also these distinctive arches here, which we used to verify other footage, like this clip. here we see those same arches, and the arrangement of the nearby buildings and roads confirmed the location of this house to be on the southern edge of the village. now, on this cctv footage, take note of the pillar here and the empty baby walker, because this video shows two men setting fire to another building in the village. we've confirmed this by matching those details that ijust pointed out to you with verified images of the aftermath.

note again the baby walker here, and the pillar there. prime minister netanyahu's office has condemned the attack and said that those responsible for any criminal act will be caught and prosecuted. earlier we mistakenly ran a version of that quote from prime minister netanyahu that used an incorrect word. the version you just saw was the correct one. let's speak to amnon aran, professor of international politics of the middle east at city university. hello. i don't know if you heard that update, the joint statement that update, the joint statement that has come out of those talks in doha but basically they say they are bridging proposal that closes the gap, the remaining gaps any manner that allows for the rapid implementation of the agreement. what is your sense of what that could mean, where there are —— where

these talks are at? i could mean, where there are -- where these talks are at?— these talks are at? i think the statement — these talks are at? i think the statement wrote _ these talks are at? i think the statement wrote reflects - these talks are at? i think the statement wrote reflects the l these talks are at? i think the i statement wrote reflects the fact that the mediators are trying to create an exit ramp for the israeli prime minister but additionally for hezbollah and iran not to carry out their threat to avenge the killing of the hamas leader. the second thing involves some sort of persuasion mechanism whereby hamas could be persuaded either to accept the assurances of the mediators that a ceasefire would not include a resumption of war, which has been a hamas condition, and on the israeli side some sort of assurance that netanyahu could sell that medically. those are the levels we are looking at. uk those are the levels we are looking at. ., ,, . ., , , those are the levels we are looking at. ., ,, . , ., at. uk foreign secretary is in today and he said — at. uk foreign secretary is in today and he said that _ at. uk foreign secretary is in today and he said that israeli _ at. uk foreign secretary is in today and he said that israeli ministers i and he said that israeli ministers have told they hope they are on the cusp of a deal. yesterday i spoke to

israel's minister for the economy and he was saying that what they want is total surrender from hamas start in terms of how you square that, it doesn't seem compatible in terms of them looking for a total surrender from terms of them looking for a total surrenderfrom hamas terms of them looking for a total surrender from hamas while we have these ceasefire talks going on which i try to get people to make an agreement. i try to get people to make an agreement-— i try to get people to make an aareement. , ., , ~ ., agreement. yes, that is too. we have heard this terminology _ agreement. yes, that is too. we have heard this terminology from - agreement. yes, that is too. we have heard this terminology from the - heard this terminology from the israelis, netanyahu used the term total victory. at the same time, though, his defence minister criticised this term and rendering it meaningless. a total victory is an ambiguous term, so it depends on what the mediators can come up with. what are the pros and cons that netanyahu sees in the revised proposal, and assuming that he would agree for a ceasefire, he would need to fill this term, total victory,

with his content. this is where we are at at the moment and i think this is what the mediators are hoping to achieve, some sort of formula that will allow all sides to sail a deal to their respective audiences. sail a deal to their respective audiences-— sail a deal to their respective audiences. ., , ., ., ~' sail a deal to their respective audiences. . , ., ., ~ ., audiences. certainly more work to do. as audiences. certainly more work to d0- as we — audiences. certainly more work to do. as we heard _ audiences. certainly more work to do. as we heard a _ audiences. certainly more work to do. as we heard a moment - audiences. certainly more work to do. as we heard a moment ago, l do. as we heard a moment ago, talking to this reaction from hamas, having a quote come through, saying hamas rejects the new conditions in the proposed gaza deal. it is clearly, as you say, there is more work to be done on this. the question i suppose is, how much influence to other countries, the us, david lammy from the uk, and the french foreign minister in israel, how much pressure can be put on israel and indeed other countries putting pressure on all sides to actually get something? they need something concrete to come out of this because the concern is all—out war in the region.

this because the concern is all-out war in the region.— war in the region. yes, the crux of the matter— war in the region. yes, the crux of the matter is _ war in the region. yes, the crux of the matter is the _ war in the region. yes, the crux of the matter is the mutually - war in the region. yes, the crux of i the matter is the mutually exclusive positions at the moment by israel and her weight. qatar and positions at the moment by israel and herweight. qatarand iran and hezbollah, if they do decide to go for a deal, will have to dissuade hamas that even if they do enter into a first stage, there will be sufficient pressure on israel not to resume the war after that. conversely the americans will have to put insufficient pressure on the israelis that at this moment in time not agreeing to a deal would put israel any farmers position than agreeing for a deal. if the two sides can achieve that, possibly we can see significant developers —— far worse position. but there is a lot of work to be done and at the moment the distances very far between hamas and israel's positions. between hamas and israel's positions-— that statement regis had from hamas

and the wire saying that it rejects these new conditions in the proposed gaza deal, after we had thisjoint statement saying a bridging proposal had been put to both sides a little earlier at those talks in doha. they will be meeting again in cairo in the coming days, so i think that is before the end of next week was what the statement said. next to the global concern over the spread of a deadly new strain of mpox from parts of africa. china has announced heightened screening for goods and people coming from areas where the new highly contagious strain of the disease has been detected. the world health organization — which declared a global public health emergency on wednesday — says more cases of the dangerous variant are likely to be found in europe in the coming days, after sweden reported the continent's first infection, and has urged wealthy nations to share treatments and vaccines. simonjones reports. in the democratic republic of congo, the country hardest hit, public health campaigns are under way to warn people of the dangers of mpox.

originally known as monkeypox, it is transmitted through close contact such as sex, skin—to—skin contact or breathing close to another person. it causes flu—like symptoms and skin lesions. they often clear up within a few weeks but mpox can be fatal for people with weakened immune systems. translation: three of my children and i were infected. _ one was treated here and the other two were taken to a hospital. after two weeks they were discharged. a week later my wife was infected. now a case of a more dangerous case of mpox has been recorded in sweden. the authorities say the person became infected during a stay in an area of africa where there is currently a major outbreak. it is very probable that we will see more cases in europe in the near time. so it's important for all countries

to be aware that this can happen. there have been a50 deaths in the democratic republic of the congo following an outbreak of the new strain. it's also been detected in neighbouring countries including the central african republic, uganda, kenya, rwanda and burundi. doctor meera chan from the uk health security agency has said the risk to the uk population is currently considered low, however planning is under way to prepare for any cases that we might see in the uk — this includes ensuring clinicians are aware and able to recognise cases promptly. outbreaks can be controlled by preventing infections with vaccines. the uk government says it has stockpiles as part of its preparedness plans. the world health organization says a coordinated an international response is now vital. simon jones, bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

here in the uk, details of the compensation that'll be paid to victims of the infected blood scandal have been set out by the government. there'll be payouts both for people �*infected' by contaminated products, and those �*affected' — because it happened to a relative. around 30,000 people were given blood containing viruses like hepatitis and hiv over a period of more than twenty years. our health editor hugh pym reports. they'd called for years for truth and justice, and campaigners who gathered in may to mark the publication of the public inquiry report felt that had been delivered. it said the scale of the scandal was horrifying and that doctors, the nhs and government had repeatedly failed patients. today more details of the final compensation package have been published. payments to those infected will start by the end of this year, and to those affected, including families, some time next year.

existing support schemes will continue, as well as compensation. about 3,000 people so far have been in touch with the official body running the scheme, but it's not clear how many will claim. no amount of money can make up for those people who suffered so much during their lives, nor can it make up for a lost partner, lost child in some cases, lost parent, lost sibling. i do hope today will be seen as a step on the journey to justice. the plan has been broadly welcomed by campaigners but some groups are disappointed. pupils at the treloar school in hampshire, which had a unit to care for haemophiliacs, was subject to high—risk treatments for medical research. they'll receive £15,000 extra as well as compensation, but they say that's not nearly enough. i think the £15,000 proposed award is both derogatory and insulting, not only to the children that

are still alive, the young adults that died, but also theirfamilies. and those infected with hepatitis c, or who lost loved ones, are unhappy because their maximum compensation is about half that potentially available to hiv victims. infected is infected. dead is dead. we all had the same blood. some of us have got cirrhosis of the liver, and two hepatitis c victims are dying every week. ministers say they've taken the advice of experts and followed recommendations by the head of the compensation authority. but campaigners will continue to scrutinise and sometimes challenge the detail. lets talk more about mpox, it seems to spread more easily. we can speak

to spread more easily. we can speak to our correspondent. how are countries in africa dealing with this? fit, how are countries in africa dealing with this? �* , how are countries in africa dealing with this? �* . ., , ., how are countries in africa dealing with this? �* _, , ., _, with this? a few countries have come out to say they _ with this? a few countries have come out to say they are _ with this? a few countries have come out to say they are putting _ with this? a few countries have come out to say they are putting together l out to say they are putting together precautions and measures to deal with the outbreak. kenya and nigeria have said they are increasing surveillance along borders, health officials in nigeria are on high alert especially at airports. they have set up isolation centres to work alongside the hospitals and they are also increasing public health campaigns. the drc has said the same thing as well. they also said they are planning a vaccination roll—out. only two african countries have receive the emergency use authorisation to get the vaccines, thatis authorisation to get the vaccines, that is the drc and nigeria. nigeria has said they are expecting 10,000 doses. that is just a has said they are expecting 10,000 doses. that isjust a drop in the

also because of how long it takes for regulatory bodies to approve vaccine batches. the who has said they are stepping into speed up that process to ensure that the continent gets the vaccine doses that it needs. ., ~' , ., the duke and duchess of sussex have begun a four—day tour of colombia. prince harry and meghan were invited by the country's vice—president, francia marquez, for what's been dubbed a �*diy royal tour�*. our south america correspondent ione wells has more details. prince harry and meghan are no longer working royals. but, as their first visit to latin america shows, when on tour, they still get a majestic welcome. they're here in colombia as guests of the country's vice president, francia marquez, the first black woman to hold that role. for both parties, this visit is about sharing ideas to protect children from harm online. they met children at this school before discussing solutions with activists and experts too.

prince harry and meghan have spoken openly about attacks they've faced on social media. colombia's vice president said she, too, had faced discrimination since she was a child. for both parties, this is also about publicity with the couple and government only allowing their own personal videographers into some events. prince harry and meghan hope to promote their campaigns to make the internet a safer place and maintain their influence and visibility on the world stage. they still attract meetings with global leaders. for the government here, it's publicity too, ahead of elections next year. the sussexes have said they fear doing similar high—profile events back in the uk after suffering threats online and no longer receiving the government—funded security they did as working royals. this second overseas tour in just a few months leaves many wondering if international campaigning is where their focus is turning. ione wells, bbc news in bogota. let's speak to our south america

at this summit yesterday evening, he outlined how poor him one of the big concerns in this space is disinformation and life spent on social media, he said it is no longer the case that what happens online stays online but now, in his words, in a matter of minutes things discussed online can then be seen in the streets with people acting as a result of misinformation on social media. in terms of what the couple are planning next, most of their events here are still centring on this issue of online abuse, harassment, cyber bullying, they are visiting another school, but prince harry will be visiting the invictus games team of colombia, another project of his, so he is due to be meeting the national team at some point later today. $5 meeting the national team at some point later today.— point later today. as you mention, the are point later today. as you mention, they are not _ point later today. as you mention, they are not working _ point later today. as you mention, they are not working royals, - point later today. as you mention, they are not working royals, this i they are not working royals, this isn't a royal visit, what capacity our day they are in, are is itjust not being mentioned? is it a personal capacity?— not being mentioned? is it a personal capacity? that's right, for many peeple _ personal capacity? that's right, for many peeple on — personal capacity? that's right, for

have to leave it there, thank you. do go away. hello there. we're moving into a quieter couple of days of weather, which is good news because the weekend is just around the corner. there'll be one or two showers coming into northwestern areas, but on the whole it's going to be a dry weekend for us with some sunshine at times, and we're seeing more sunshine across the southern half of the uk today. and it's not as windy here as it was yesterday. we saw this weather front take cloud and rain southwards overnight. if we look to the north, more weather fronts arriving. the winds are picking up and this is where we're seeing more cloud and a few showers as well. and that's going to limit the temperatures in the north west of scotland. highest temperatures again reaching the mid 20s across southeastern parts of england. it's windy in the north west of scotland into the evening as well, but the winds do ease down a bit overnight and the showers that we've got here do become fewer, and for many places it's going to turn dry with some clearer skies.

quite a bit cooler than it was last night across southern parts of the uk. could be as low as 7 or 8 degrees here. it won't be as cold as last night, though, in the north east of scotland. starting tomorrow with some sunshine for many of us, we will tend to find the cloud building up a little bit like today, brings the risk of1 or 2 showers into northern and western scotland, northern ireland, perhaps into the northwest of england. the sunnier skies lingering in east anglia in the southeast. and that's where we'll get the highest temperatures again. but it could be quite warm in the sunshine in the northeast of scotland. now, through the weekend, we've got high pressure over towards the azores, low pressure up towards iceland. and it leaves us with this run of westerly winds. the winds could be a little bit stronger during the second half of the weekend, particularly for southern areas. but again we'll find, after a sunny start, clouds will build up a little bit. brings the risk of1 or 2 showers, mainly in the north west of scotland, and there'll be some spells of sunshine around as well. and those temperatures not changing too much, perhaps 18—19 at best for scotland and northern ireland. highs of the mid 20s again

in the southeast of england. as we head into monday, the weather starts to change a bit, particularly in western areas. pressure is going to be falling here. there are some weather fronts to come in from the atlantic, but we're going to start dry and sunny in most areas on monday morning. it's out to the west where the winds pick up, especially in the southwest and through the irish sea. the cloud moves in and we get some rain and it gets wet in northern ireland and western scotland during the afternoon. but ahead of that, the midlands and eastern england should have a dry and quite warm day with some sunshine.

this is bbc news with the headlines... the three countries trying to mediate a ceasefire and hostage release in gaza have presented a new proposal to israel and hamas. the world health organisation urges wealthy nations to share mpox vaccines with affected countries as global concerns grow over a new wave of the disease surging in africa. ukraine has told residents to evacuate the city of pokrovsk in the eastern donetsk region, as russian forces advance after heavy fighting there. and we find out how a group of scottish islands may hold the key to understanding "snowball earth" — the longest and deepest ice age in our planet's history. hello.

there have been many reports of violence against bangladesh's hindu minority community, since the fall of the sheikh hasina government more than a week ago. videos of homes being burned, temples vandalized and people being killed at the hands of anti—hindu extremists, have gone viral on social media. but some have disputed these claims. the bbc�*s south asia correspondent samira hussain went to investigate. go, go, go, go. social media. videos going viral. seen by millions. the claim. evidence of violence targeting the hindu minority. this one of a building engulfed in flames, captioned hindus in bangladesh are coming under attack. we crossed the country to see if it was true. we arrive in this small village in northern bangladesh and find what's left of the building. from the video, the charred remains of a two room school, remnants of textbooks littering what was a place

for students with disabilities.
