translation: this was one of the largest strikes, - a combined one, more than 100 missiles of various types, and about 100 shahed drones. and like most previous russian strikes, this one is just as vile. the us has said that, key to calming things down in the north on israel's northern border with lebanon, is getting a cease—fire deal in gaza. plenty to discuss on foreign policy tonight. joining me tonight — stefanie bolzen, die welt�*s correspondent in washington dc and brian taylor, political commentator at the herald first, the latest headlines. the head of the airforce in ukraine says russia's air assault on the country on monday was its biggest so far. power infrastructure

was hit, and at least six deaths were reported. but ukraine's air force chief said they managed to bring down more than a—hundred out of one—hundred— and—twenty—seven missiles sent by moscow and an even higher proportion of attack drones. the prince of wales has and david beckham have led tributes for the former england manager sven—goran eriksson, who has died at the age of 76. he'd been receiving treatment for pancreatic cancer. eriksson managed england for five years until 2006 — and led the side, to the quarterfinals at three major tournaments. he also managed 12 clubs including manchester city, going on to win 18 trophies. the un says it's halted its aid operation in gaza after the israeli military issued a new evacuation order for the area workers have been operating from. an official said the challenge now was to find a new place to work out of —

but that the un wouldn't leave gaza. it comes after israel and lebanon's hezbollah mounted cross—border strikes over the weekend. the world health organization has announced details of a new plan to tackle outbreaks of mpox. the organisation says it will require 135 million dollars in funding — to cover prevention and surveillance measures — as well as tests and vaccines. the w—h—0's director—general says outbreaks in the democratic republic of congo and neighbouring countries can be controlled and can be stopped — but said a comprehensive plan was needed. welcome back. donald trump was at the arlington national cemetery this morning, laying a wreath for the 13 us service members killed during the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan three years ago. 0n truth social, the former president was attempting to tie kamala harris to that chaos. "the most embarrassing moment in the history
9:03 pm
of our country," he wrote. "gross incompetence — 13 dead american soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead." there is a theme developing here. in recent weeks, trump has been zeroing in on the role the vice president played in these foreign policy decisions. he has specifically highlighted the fact she was the last person in the room, before biden made his decision on the afghanistan withdrawal. his new attack ad that aired this morning doubles down on some of those themes. before thousands were brutally killed, including americans, before iran helped hamas planned the attack, killing americans... before joe biden gave billions of taxpayer money to iran. donald trump played hardball with iran and destroyed isis. kamala harris is yet to sit for an interview since accepting the nomination,
9:04 pm
although her acceptance speech at the democratic convention was pretty conservative when it comes to foreign policy. she said she would continue the fight against china, would take "whatever action is necessary" to counter iran and its proxies, and would ensure israel is able to defend itself. there was an unwavering commitment to nato. but there has been incoming, from her own side, on what lies behind some of those policies. you know, we all obviously believe that there should be a ceasefire immediately and permanently, and that palestinians, just, like israelis, deserve the right to self—determination. we have to do more thanjust say that we believe that — we have to actually take steps that are going to evidence that, take steps that are going to show that we're willing to start to listen to people who have been outside of the political, i will say, conversation for so long. it's been a third rail, and there's going to be a lot more work that we have to do to show to this demographic that the democratic party includes them in its big tent, includes them in our foreign policy considerations, and also includes them
9:05 pm
in our conversations around humanity and human rights. stefanie bolzen is die welt�*s correspondent in dc. they did not allow pro—palestinian speaker to address the convention. will she have to start explaining to the american people where she stands on these foreign policy issues? i on these foreign policy issues? i will say, i was at the dnc as many of your bbc college were as well in the issue of gaza was really the one issue, bit like the elephant in the room that you get since the democrats were nervous about in fact, on thursday night when kamala was giving a speech on the floor, those little protest march by palestinian american delegates who did not get a slot to speak and interestingly, i thought kamala
9:06 pm
addressed them as best she could in her speech and her empathy and what was happening in gaza and this doesn't mean at all that kamala harris will change the politics of joe biden and is the strongest ally of israel, that would not change. in terms of the attack add and pointed to some the obvious contradictions in the message, it was donald trump that pulled out of the iran deal that pulled out of the iran deal that made the region less safe and rubbed their withdrawal plan that joe biden then enacted and promised an unprecedented peace plan in the middle east and it failed. aside from saying that is going to fix all the problems on day one, how much confidential we take an donald trump's form policy positions? there is a duality expressed _ trump's form policy positions? there is a duality expressed in _ trump's form policy positions? there is a duality expressed in donald trump's — is a duality expressed in donald trump's policy positions and on one hand _ trump's policy positions and on one hand he _ trump's policy positions and on one hand he is_ trump's policy positions and on one hand he is reflecting to a large extent — hand he is reflecting to a large extent in— hand he is reflecting to a large

is the economy, the inflation and it is the economy, the inflation and it is immigration and also foreign policy and talking about monday, in arlington, putting down this week, and personnel are veterans, afghanistan withdrawal, a few years ago is something that sits very deeply with the military here and a sore point of the government and rightly are the talks with the taliban and the donald trump administration and many people in america thought it was an embarrassment for the military forces and the presence in afghanistan and something that donald trump rightly uses to get voters on board with republicans. talking about afghanistan and making the link with the military and just have a listen to what he said about

the knife attack that took place in the german city of solingen on friday night has added to the heated debate over immigration in europe.
9:15 pm
a 26—year—old syrian has been detained on suspicion of killing three people and seriously injuring several more. his asylum claim was denied last year — he was supposed to be deported to bulgaria, but it never happened. the german chancellor, olaf scholz, visited solingen today vowing to step up deportations, and to maintain border checks that were in place during the european championship. he also said he would be looking to tighten the legislation on carrying a knife. translation: obviously, - we will now have to tighten legal regulations on weapons that we in germany have. this applies in particular to the use of knives, but also to many other things that need to be regulated, and that should very quickly. i am sure that if the federal government makes a proposal on this, it can be brought forward and passed quickly with the help of legislators in the bundestag and bundesrat. the german police are investigating the attack as a possible act of terrorism. the islamic state group claimed
9:16 pm
responsibility on saturday though the authorities have not yet been able to confirm the veracity of that claim. but what it does do is put the issue front and centre, in the run—up to three three state elections in which the far—right the afd is expected to do well. and we must always state this, statistics say contrary to what others would have us believe, asylum—seekers are not responsible for an increase in crime. that said, there are some in germany pointing out to the murder of a police officer injune and again, a knife attack, and asylum—seekers whose claim was rejected but nevertheless, able to stay in following that, the chancellor vowed to increase deportations and of those rejected asylum applicant, here is again saying the same message, how is that going to affect things politically, do you think?—
9:17 pm
going to affect things politically, do you think? first of all, we have to be very — do you think? first of all, we have to be very careful— do you think? first of all, we have to be very careful with _ do you think? first of all, we have to be very careful with what is - do you think? first of all, we have to be very careful with what is the | to be very careful with what is the background of this attack and a sense of shock in germany and i watched pictures today and of german media gathering to remember the victims and the three people in their 50s who were stabbed and also, as you say, the political consequence will be severe because on sunday, 1st of september, there are two original elections in east germany and already, before this attack, there were the afd, the right wing into immigration, and to european, anti—globalization party was scoring very high before the first time, i saw that they may even be a head of the cdu which was still had to head, the christian democrats of the former chancellor but it is
9:18 pm

9:26 pm
an improvement on what we saw earlier on in the weekend. but there is cloud currently pushing in from the atlantic, so the weather beginning to change across western areas, particularly through the night as we see these weather fronts thickening with cloud and probably picking up the wind as well. it's going to be a southerly wind and that will blow in some rain to northern ireland. that rain pushes further into scotland and then just nudges over the irish sea. for many parts of england and wales it'll be dry with some clearer spells and temperatures probably dipping away to about 12 degrees, but it's going to be quite a warm night for northern ireland, where we've got the wind and rain. that will soon move away, though, tomorrow morning, and we'll get some sunshine following on behind. we're going to find some heavy rain for a while across dumfries and galloway, much of scotland turning drier through the day. and that's because the rain is slipping slowly further into northern england, into wales and the south—west of england as well. through the midlands and a good part of eastern england, it's going to be dry and here we'll have some sunshine with a southerly breeze.
9:27 pm
those temperatures are going to be rising as well, getting up to 211—25 celsius. and temperatures are climbing in these areas ahead of the weather front that's bringing the rain. now that is really slowing down to a standstill on wednesday, and following on from that pressure is a little bit lower. so we're going to find more showers coming into northern ireland and scotland — some in western scotland could be heavy and thundery. but this is where the weather front is. so you can see, first of all, it's not really moved anywhere and also that there's not much rain at all. but ahead of that we continue to see temperatures rising through the east midlands, lincolnshire, east anglia in the south—east, temperatures 27, maybe even 28 degrees. that's probably going to be the peak of the heat for a little while, at least. and that's because the weather front is going to be pushing all the way through — little or no rain on it in the south. a bit of rain in the north, perhaps, but following on from that, the wind direction is going to change. we'll get more of a westerly breeze, and that's going to push in slightly cooler and fresher air. and with lower pressure across scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england, there will be some more showers around on thursday, most of those moving away by friday. and further south it's going to be dry.
9:28 pm
not as warm, perhaps, but pleasant enough in the sunshine.
9:29 pm
hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. french authorities extend the detention of pavel durov, the russian—born founder of telegram, after his arrest at a paris airport on saturday night.
9:30 pm
fascinating story, that, we will get to it shortly. the british prime minister will set the stage tomorrow for some unpopular decisions his government will announce in the coming months to stabilise the public finances — among them tax rises and cuts to the winter fuel allowance for pensioners. the prime minister will use the riots we have been talking about as a metaphor for the scale of the challenge, blaming it all on the the "rubble and ruin" left by the conservatives. there is some of this in the political debate in the united states. former president trump is talking down the us economy as if his election depends on it. the risk for starmer — and perhaps for donald trump is that this doom—and—gloom approach to the economy becomes a self—fulfilling prophecy. so let's discuss that. do you buy into this, stefanie was met focus on
9:31 pm
the economy and you
