from punjab to be shot. the baloch liberation army, which has been designated a terrorist organisation by the uk and us governments, claimed responsibility for the attacks. the bbc�*s urdu correspondent, farhatjaved, told me how the attacks started. so basically, they started with a statement from the baloch liberation army, which is an armed insurgent group operating in the south—western province of balochistan in pakistan. the group issued a statement warning people to avoid travelling on the highway that connnects balochistan with punjab province. the group also said that they have blocked the highway and they said that they would target security forces personnel. what we saw in the morning, they were dozens of vehicles which were set on fire and reports of at least 22 people killed,

these were passengers who were killed travelling to balochistan from the punjab province. officials have confirmed that these attackers, they stopped cars, trucks and buses. they offloaded passengers, they checked their identities and those who were not locals of balochistan province — and they were mostly from punjab — they were shot dead. so this is how these 22 people were killed. but this is not an isolated incident. there have been a series of attacks in the last 2a hours in several parts of balochistan, where the group has targeted police stations, camps of the security forces, as well as railway tracks and bridges. so there have been a series of attacks. pakistan's army says that they have responded to these attacks, and in an operation conducted in another district of balochistan, 21 militants have been killed and 1a security personnel are also killed in these counter operations so far.

the united states says it's working to avoid a further escalation in hostilities between israel and hezbollah. the white house is hoping that sunday's heavy exchange of fire across the border won't lead to a regional war. jets destroyed thousands of the iran—backed armed group's rocket launchers on sunday morning. hezbollah said it had still managed to fire more than 300 rockets and drones at israel in retaliation for the assassination of a senior commander. let's speak to yonahjeremy bob, senior military correspondent at the jerusalem post and author of target tehran. thank you forjoining me. i was speaking to a guest in lebanon, about an hour ago. do you think of the region is on the brink of war?

encore. there are sitll a few hours left of the notting hill carnival in west london. it's one of the longest—running street parties in the world and the largest street party in europe. the celebrations continue, despite the stabbing of three people at the festival on sunday. a 32—year—old woman is in a life—threatening condition in hospital. two men in their 20s were also stabbed. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren. hello there. for most of us it is a better day today. all that rain that we had yesterday across the northern half of the uk has moved away. there is more cloud tending to come in from the atlantic and, eventually, that will bring some more rain. we may see the cloud increasing across some western areas, but ahead of that it has been a very pleasant bank holiday monday here in warwickshire with some sunshine.

these are the temperatures that we're seeing late on in the afternoon, so a little bit warmer than it has been through the weekend. nothing startling, but somewhat of an improvement. as we head overnight the winds are going to start to pick up and we start to see some rain coming into northern ireland, heading further into scotland, and perhaps over the irish sea, as well. for large parts of england and wales it will be dry with some clearer skies. quite a warm night, particularly so where we've got that wetter, windier weather in northern ireland. that should move away, though, fairly quickly on tuesday and we'll follow that with some sunshine. some heavier rain over dumfries and galloway for a while, but the rain does tend to ease away for most of scotland because it stumbles slowly into northern england, into wales and the south—west. the midlands and a good part of eastern england are likely to be dry and there will be some sunshine here. it's starting to get a bit warmer, as well. those temperatures reaching 24 or 25 degrees ahead of the rain, which is coming in on that weather front there and because that

weather front is so slow as we move into wednesday, temperatures ahead of it will continue to rise. following on from that weather front, we've got lower pressure in the north—west. that will bring some showers on wednesday into northern ireland and particularly scotland, with some heavier, thundery ones in the west. there's the weather front. you can see there's not much rain on it, but it's not really moved very far at all. so the east midlands, lincolnshire, east anglia and the south—east continuing to warm up. temperatures reaching 27, maybe 28 degrees. that's going to be the peak of the heat, mind you, because eventually the weather front is going to move its way eastwards. in the south, there's little or no rain and not much rain further north, as well. once that clears through, we're all going to have a run of westerly winds and that's going to bring with it some cooler and fresher air. temperatures are going to be lower later on in the week. we are going to find on thursday some showers for northernmost parts of the uk, but even these move away on friday and in the sunshine further south it will still feel quite pleasant.
