from the start of its offensive ii days ago, an attack on a russian border checkpoint. two men who took part in riots in england receive the longest sentences yet, one gets nearly five years — the other six. victims of the infected blood scandal will get compensation payments by the end of the year — more than two million pounds for some. hello, i'm kylie pentelow, welcome to the program. we begin in russia where ukraine has destroyed a strategic bridge in the kursk region — cutting a supply route — as it continues its incursion into russian territory. kyiv says the aim of its offensive is to force moscow to start what it calls "fair peace talks". meanwhile, russia has summoned italy's ambassador in moscow over a team of italian journalists who reported from ukrainian—held parts of russia this week — calling it an �*illegal border crossing'.

our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse has the story. ukraine isn'tjust targeting russian troops, but their supply lines too. a missile makes light work of a major bridge in russia's kursk region. it was a counteroffensive which surprised just about everyone. apart from the ukrainian paratroopers who've released this footage. complete with dramatic music and muscular armour from when they first overwhelmed a russian border crossing and the soldier manning it. after a blistering land grab in the kursk region, ukraine's gains are starting to slow. russia is diverting resources, like these artillery units, to stem the tide. nevertheless, ukraine is bringing in more troops to consolidate what it's taken. this is the main route from ukraine's sumy region

into russia itself. you have to imagine it as an artery. and as advances start to slow, the question becomes, what next? kyiv took this territory relatively easily, with the element of surprise and elite forces. but keeping hold of it, as russia turns its head and redeploys thousands of troops, that will be very different. arnie signed up to defend ukraine with the full—scale invasion. translation: no-one likes war, we want to finish it. _ i am not keen to fight. but for our ukraine, for our people, we'll stand till the end. anatoly has just returned from russian soil and has noticed a difference in progress. translation: we are still advancing. it's slowed down a bit, but we are moving forward. as long as we have orders and instructions, we'll keep on moving. anatoly hopes his effort will relieve pressure on other

parts of the front line. as of yet, that's not happening. regardless, ukraine's goal seems to be shifting from liberation to producing bargaining chips for a future peace deal, whenever that might be. let's speak to professor robert english. he's director of central european studies at the university of southern california. thank you for your time. from your assessment so far do you think this was a good idea for ukraine to occupy russian territory? irate was a good idea for ukraine to occupy russian territory? we won't know if it is — occupy russian territory? we won't know if it is a _ occupy russian territory? we won't know if it is a good _ occupy russian territory? we won't know if it is a good idea _ occupy russian territory? we won't know if it is a good idea for- know if it is a good idea for another couple of weeks, maybe a month. it was a risky idea, it was in audacious and bold plan, but we don't know if it will pay off because, let's be frank about this. even though it was superbly executed and has gained this enormous amount

of territory, more territory in a week then rush again in nearly a year, it was a move driven by desperation because the ukrainians were being pushed steadily back and they still are in the central donetsk region they are on the verge of losing a strategically vital town which will dominate communications for that region in exchange for a lot of territory that they don't even want to keep and which significance is merely a bargaining chip. who putin bargain? will this push him into that deal or will he simply methodically moving on both fronts and the desperate gamble, not pay off? we won't know for quite some time, but there is a long slog of violence and death of us. what some time, but there is a long slog of violence and death of us. what is our of violence and death of us. what is your estimation _ of violence and death of us. what is your estimation on _ of violence and death of us. what is your estimation on that _ of violence and death of us. what is your estimation on that of - of violence and death of us. what is your estimation on that of what - your estimation on that of what putin could potentially do? buti your estimation on that of what

putin could potentially do? but i am afraid of is that _ putin could potentially do? but i am afraid of is that we _ putin could potentially do? but i am afraid of is that we in _ putin could potentially do? but i am afraid of is that we in the _ putin could potentially do? but i am afraid of is that we in the west, - afraid of is that we in the west, the ukrainians, nato, british continually make the mistake that hoping or expecting that putin would reason or react in the way we would. he has been humiliated and there is a lot of public asherah and anger and criticism. he has lost all of this territory and we assume that the military —— humiliation and loss territory would do to do something quickly. we forget he is an autocratic and impervious to public pressure and can take the enormous losses and that manpower and material and slowly and methodically regroup and achieve his ends. if ukrainians are hoping for a quick result, putin's resilience and result, putin's resilience and result may disappoint us. i suspect it will be something of a draw. the ukrainians will gain some strategic benefit and horse trading, but not the kind of quick exchange some people seem to expect. irate

the kind of quick exchange some people seem to expect. we heard earlier in the _ people seem to expect. we heard earlier in the report _ people seem to expect. we heard earlier in the report about - people seem to expect. we heard earlier in the report about the - earlier in the report about the destruction of that strategically important bridge, do you think this indicates there is a real strategic focus from ukraine here? ha. indicates there is a real strategic focus from ukraine here? no. this is more of a tactical— focus from ukraine here? no. this is more of a tactical move. _ focus from ukraine here? no. this is more of a tactical move. they - focus from ukraine here? no. this is more of a tactical move. they are . more of a tactical move. they are simply obstructing rush of positive reinforcements and making it more difficult. russian will rebuild bridges and bring more troops. the ukrainians have fewer trips to throw into the fight than the prussians so the longer it drags on it favours the longer it drags on it favours the russians. i would turn reviewers such as to a small—scale version that occurred late last year in early 2024 when the ukrainians crossed the river in a particular region where they surprise the russians and took a bridgehead and to crusade some big ukrainian advance, the russians waited, slowly regrouped and crushed the ukrainians. i hope we do not see that here. the difference of course is that now, this is on russian

territory, not russian held parts of ukraine. but there is a precedent for putin taking his time, observing heavy losses and then methodically regrouping and at high cost, pushing back. so ukrainians to consolidate those gains quickly and make it harderfor russia. and those gains quickly and make it harder for russia. and the west needs to keep applying financial pressure, upping the cost of the sanctions, some of the other news in your reports show the financial screws are tightening on moscow, perhaps that combination will bring putin to the bargaining table, not protest from his people, not a military mutiny, nothing of that sort that we might encounter in the west. irate sort that we might encounter in the west. ~ ., ., ., west. we will have to leave it there. thank _ west. we will have to leave it there. thank you _ west. we will have to leave it there. thank you very - west. we will have to leave it there. thank you very much. | two men have received the longest jail sentences yet for their roles in the riots that swept parts of england and northern ireland after the southport stabbings. one was jailed for six years — the other for almost 5 years

after riots in hull. will vernon reports. "12 hours of racist, hate fuelled mob violence." that was how a judge described the unrest on the streets of hull on the 3rd of august. the man in the england flag, 25—year—old john honey, one of two men convicted today of violent disorder and racially aggravated criminal damage. honey, on the left, was sentenced to four years eight months in prison. david wilkinson got six years — the longest sentences so far. they were part of this ferocious attack on a car. inside were three terrified romanian men, who managed to escape. john honey also broke into a lush cosmetics shop and looted it. he then handed out the items he'd stolen to people outside. also sentenced today, this man, roger hayward — arrested at a riot in blackpool. he was given two and a half years in prison for violent disorder and two counts of assaulting an emergency worker. england!

hayward was an instigator of the riots, according to thejudge. who said communities in britain had been grieving peacefully in the wake of the tragic events in southport. whereas others such as you decided to usurp this terrible incident as an excuse for mindless, drunken thuggery. prosecutors say they now plan to give more people the harsher charge of rioting. that carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison. will vernon, bbc news. the family of a yoga teacher who was stabbed during the southport knife attacks say she has been readmitted to hospital, due to breathing problems. leanne lucas is believed to have been one of the organisers of the taylor swift—themed dance class where the attack, which left three girls dead, took place. compensation payments to victims of the infected blood scandal will be made, the government has said — retaining the scheme announced in may by the previous government after a report by

the public inquiry. between 1970 and 1991, more than 30,000 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis c from contaminated blood products and transfusions. 0ur health editor hugh pym explains— and a warning his report contains flashing images. victims of the infected blood scandal, some who campaigned for decades, others who didn't survive. a public inquiry found they'd been consistently failed by those in authority. today, ministers have firmed up details of the official compensation scheme announced by the previous government. it's been widely welcomed. what is decent compensation? that's difficult to say. but some, like gary, aren't happy. he was a pupil at treloar school in hampshire and infected with hiv and hepatitis c during his treatment for haemophilia. he didn't know he was part of a medical trial, in his own words, a guinea pig.

because of that, he qualifies for an extra amount on top of his compensation — £15,000, with 10,000 going to other haemophiliacs caught up in unethical research. he says neither amount is enough. £15,000 for a life is... seems... ..doesn't seem right. you know, £10,000. some of these boys were on trials for years and years. me and myself, a lot of my friends, and we're all very unhappy and insulted by the figures. there are different levels of compensation depending on the severity of the infections. jo is disappointed that the maximum award for those like her who contracted hepatitis c is less than what's potentially available to victims of hiv. she was infected during a blood transfusion after giving birth. we were all given the same blood. we were all given had blood, had blood products. we're all terrified, hiv, hepatitis c. treat us the same, level it out.

bring us up, bring us up. why are we being treated so differently? i put some of these concerns to the minister heading the government's response on compensation. the hepatitis c community feel that the potential maximum payments for them are a lot less than for hiv. they're just wondering why? what i would say, first of all, is we're trying to be fair across the different groups, whether it's infected and indeed the affected, and that's the objective of the government. secondly, what i would say is that we are basing those tariffs on clinical expert advice. the minister wants to get the scheme running as quickly as possible, so the infected start getting payments by the end of this year and sometime next year for those affected because of the loss of loved ones. some campaigners, meanwhile, will continue to question details and press for improvements. hugh pym, bbc news.

president biden says a ceasefire in gaza is much closer than it's ever been, but that it's not there yet. negotiators will meet again next week to try to finalise an agreement between israel and hamas for a ceasefire and the release of hostages. it comes after the funeral of a 22—year—old palestinian man, shot dead whenjewish settlers stormed his village last night. the attack took place in the north of the occupied west bank and was condemned by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. 0ur middle east correspondent lucy williamson reports. no one knows who made rashid asidi a village hero. who shot the young it worker as he threw stones to keep armed jewish settlers at bay. but they know who to blame. translation: even the ambulance that came for him was _ blocked by the army. they waited until he died.

the blame is more on the army, because they are not controlling the settlers. they protect them. his mother said she didn't know if it was a settler or a soldier who fired the fatal shot. rashid's brother mahdi took me to where he was killed. the village boundary fence, broken in several places. a neighbour said dozens of settlers gathered here last night, and that he heard a hail of gunshots. he said he called the israeli army, who took two hours to arrive. the army said they deployed within minutes. residents say the settlers were masked, armed and organised into groups. some dressed all in black, some all in white. hassan was at home with his family when they came down this road. his surveillance camera caught the moment they confronted him, setting fire to his car and entering his family compound.

translation: they were all armed with automatic weapons, _ light weapons, pepper spray. their attack was organised. they had a clear goal to kill or burn. here we are, unarmed. they have the government supporting them. we have nothing except ourselves. israel is under fierce international scrutiny over settler violence in the west bank. israel's army says it has launched a thorough investigation into last night's attack. those gathered for rashid's funeral prayers had little faith injustice. the body of rashid asidi is leading a procession of anger through the village ofjit. people here trace this violence right back to the behaviour of israeli security forces and the policies of israeli politicians. a palestinian village surrounded by israeli settlements, distrustful of israeli forces, burying their anger along with their grief.

an inquest has found that a 13—year—old girl died after drinking a hot chocolate because costa coffee failed to follow its allergy process properly. hannahjacobs had lived with allergies since she was a baby, and the coroner said there had also been a failure of communication between the coffee shop staff and the teenager's mother. us vice president kamala harris has been laying out her economic plans at a rally in north carolina — her first major policy speech since becoming the democratic presidential nominee. in what is seen as more of a reboot of president biden's economic policies than a radically fresh start, ms harris launched her plan to create an "opportunity economy". still, we know that many americans don't yet feel that progress in their daily lives.

costs are still too high. on a deeper level, for too many people, no matter how much they work, it feels so hard just to be able to get ahead. as president, i will be laser focused on creating opportunities for the middle class that advance their economic security, stability and dignity. together, we will build what i call an opportunity economy. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal has more. the vice president has been accused of being all style and no substance. so this was her first major opportunity to show americans what a president harris would look like. how would she govern, what would herfirst 100 days in the white house look like? and she unveiled all these proposals to to show how she would try and lower the cost of living. and what struck me about her speech was that she had much more of an easy way

of talking about policy. simple sentences, examples from her own life in a way that president biden was accused of not being able to do so. i mean, the vision that she had wasn't hugely radical from his, but she delivered her speech in about half an hour, which is shorter than president biden's speech. it's certainly shorter than the speeches donald trump has been giving recently on the economy. ms harris also accused donald trump of coming up with proposals that would only benefit rich people billionaires, the executives of big corporations. mr trump has tried to tie kamala harris to the cost of it, to the cost of living going up and to inflation as well. both of them are really going hard on the economy. the economy is the number one issue for voters. the polls suggest it's the one thing that they really care about going into this election. and they both have delivered speeches from north carolina, a key battleground state,

where at the moment polls suggest that mr harris and mr trump are statistically tied. but when it comes to the economy, polls also suggest that voters do trust donald trump a lot more on that. the latest figures show a sharp rise in knife related crime involving children. in bristol, a specialist police unit has been set up to try to tackle knife crime. 0ur correspondent dan johnsonjoined them — and witnessed first hand — the deadly weapons being confiscated from teenagers. that's the car, the grey one. you are about to see the sort of weapons carried by some young people. the grey car, full of teenagers, has refused to stop for police. stay where you are! stay where you are, all of you! get down, down, down! weapons found. everyone, hands where we can see them. that's come from inside the vehicle.

there's a girl... hop out of the car, love. ..and fouryoung men, all between 16 and 18. it's 11:30am on a wednesday. officers have just stopped this car in a bristol suburb. they have searched it and retrieved these enormous knives. no—one's out with balaclavas and zombie knives with good l intentions, are they? so, do you think stopping them today, seizing those knives, could have stopped something more serious? absolutely, yeah. that's the whole i point in doing this. there is no upside. no—one wins. and then that poor decision, in a split second, could ruinl the rest of their life, it could ruin the rest| of the other person's life. here is one life lost at 19. nobody has been charged with stabbing eddie kinuthia last summer, despite arrests, so his family's left with his last desperate moments, bleeding to death on the street in the arms of his mother.

when i got there and i saw him, his look, the look on his face of, like, just shock, like just that panicked look on his face. i kept telling him to stay awake, and he tried, he really tried, because i kept telling him, "help is coming." you know, the thing that i struggle most with is wanting to go back, if we could do it again. and there is grief across this city after a surge of teenage knife crime, costing young lives in both blood and prison sentences. morning. to all talk about the children that are linked to the murder of darrien williams. and this is the team sworn to protect young people from a life of violence and the criminal exploitation so often behind it. what do you say to the people who may be a bit more, these kids know what they are getting into? i think it is really

important to understand each individual person, because we don't know what has happened in that child's life. because, actually, putting a child in prison is not the answer. it's not the solution, because they'll come out of prison, so what then? try and push that one down. is that all right? this is mostly about teenage boys, as victims or perpetrators — sometimes both. but here, they know it starts so much younger. there are as young as six and seven—year—olds carrying knives, and i think fear is the main factor. when you think of a seven, eight—year—old, you think of a young person who's got innocence. at the moment, we are seeing young people losing that innocence from such a young age. whether they take to the saddle or the barber's seat — here, open, honest conversations are encouraged. what makes you not want to be able to go out? ijust don't feel safe outside. yeah? i feel more safe inside of my house, not outside. and when you come here, do you feel safe? yeah. ijust can have a nice time, without having many worries about anything bad happening.

but there are no simple answers to this complex issue. why are you driving around with a knife like that? i don't know. you're carrying it — why? don't know, mate. so i'm not the odd one out, maybe. so, why carry it? i'm into knives, innit? i like the way they look and that. weapons are seized, arrests follow. this 16—year—old for possessing a knife. so, too, the 18—year—old who was driving without a licence or insurance. their fate is still to be determined. and the bereaved also want answers. imiss him. i miss his hugs. i miss, like, his laughter, you know? imiss... i miss dancing with him. eddie's story sums up this city's challenge, but knife crime and its impact

reaches further and it needs much wider solutions. danjohnson, bbc news, bristol. train drivers on lner — which operates rail services on the east coast main line between london and edinburgh — are to stage a series of fresh strikes every weekend from the end of august to november. this dispute is separate from the long—running row over pay, which looks like being resolved after a new offer this week from the government. lner said it was "surprised and disappointed" by the announcement following recent talks. meghan gallacher has resigned as the deputy leader of the scottish conservatives. in a letter to douglas ross — ms gallacher said she was "deeply troubled" by a story in the daily telegraph that claimed mr ross suggested last year that another candidate — justice spokesperson russell findlay — should succeed him. ms gallacher wrote that she was "completely unaware of discussions surrounding a candidate" and that she believes

there is a "potential risk to the reputation of our party and the leadership contest moving forward. the outgoing deputy leader also said that she was "excluded" from doing media on behalf of the party due to her bid to be leader. mr ross said he accepted her reasoning for resigning and was committed to remaining neutral in the leadership contest. time now to take a look at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. let's start with the independent which leads on the rail strikes. the tories say labour has been played by the unions after aslef announces fresh strikes — 48 hours after the government offered a �*bumper pay deal�*. the daily mail�*s splash also features the rail pay deal — asking whether labour has already lost control of the unions — critics say the party�*s paymasters are running rings around starmer. next to the telegraph which reports the cps�*s admission that mistakes

were made in their evidence against lucy letby who was convicted of murdering seven babies last year. the guardian leads on the home secretary�*s pledge to end teenage violent crime. the i reports that doctors have warned the government that the 8am scramble for gp appointments and lengthy waiting times won�*t improve without a majorfunding injection. and lastly — the daily express leads on its campaign to save winter fuel payments. lets take a look at the weather now with darren. hello there. it felt warm in the sunshine earlier today. and over the weekend, there will be some more sunshine at times. very quiet weather over the weekend, not too much changing from one day to the next. many places will remain dry. this was the picture earlier today. that weather front has moved to the south of us. we are seeing more cloud coming into northern parts of scotland and that is where we see the showers. but there was not too much cloud in the midlands today,

lovely and warm in the sunshine. last night, we saw some big differences in the weather. 18 celsius in kent, 3 celsius last night in aberdeenshire, but things will be different overnight tonight. we have stronger winds, they will tend to ease. showers becoming fewer, and many places becoming dry overnight. to the south we have the clearer skies and lighter winds. temperatures as low as 7 celsius in southern england and the midlands, not as cold as last night in the north—east of scotland. starting off on a sunny note for much of the country tomorrow. there will be some cloud build—up, some showers threatening the north—west of england and northern ireland and western scotland, but many places will have a dry day. we will see more sunshine across the south—east of england and east anglia. this is where we will have the highest temperatures similar to today. should be a bit warmer in the sunshine in north—east scotland. this high over the azores, the pressure toward scandinavia leaving us with a run of westerly winds, which may pick up a little
