the first strikes came in the early hours, crudely curtailing a long weekend of ukrainian independence day celebrations. this missilejust missed a power station near the capital, kyiv. the ukrainian defenders shot down what they could. "i got it", this soldier exclaims. but one in five missiles did get through. russia said it successfully targeted energy infrastructure. olha's brother was killed on the zaporizhzhia land he had farmed all his life. translation: i was very scared because of the explosion. - i was shaking. and then i saw him, and i couldn't recognise him. near the city of dnipro lives and livelihoods extinguished. president zelensky argued that a collective effort had

protected israel from aerial attack and called on western allies to do more to shoot down russian missiles and drones. translation: it was one of| the biggest combined strikes. more than 100 missiles of various types, and about 100 iranian drones. in various ukrainian regions in various ukrainian regions we could have done more we could have done more in order to protect life in order to protect life if aircraft of our european if aircraft of our european neighbours had worked neighbours had worked together with our f—16 jets together with our f—16 jets and air defence. and air defence. the missiles also hit the missiles also hit this region, sumy, this region, sumy, which borders russia. which borders russia. it was from here the ukrainians it was from here the ukrainians launched their surprise launched their surprise incursion three weeks ago, incursion three weeks ago, going in and then seizing going in and then seizing pressure on the home russian territory. russian territory. that undoubtedly gave that undoubtedly gave ukraine a big morale boost, ukraine a big morale boost, but today has been a jolting, but today has been a jolting, nationwide reminder of what russia is capable of. nationwide reminder of what russia is capable of. and the kremlin suggested more and the kremlin suggested more punishment for the recent punishment for the recent incursion into russian soil incursion into russian soil

into russia, hitting the city of saratc thisi urging the west into russia, hitting the city of saratc this coalition he west ukraine. this coalition is providing ukraine with critically needed military equipment including air defence interceptors he continues by saying as i told zen—mac the us support for ukraine is unshakeable, we will stand with the people of ukraine until they prevail. that statement from the president of the united states, joe biden in response to these attacks from russia overnight into ukraine. let's turn to the middle east now — the united nations says it's had to halt its humanitarian operations in gaza. it comes after the israeli military issued a new evacuation order for the area where aid workers were operating from. the un is the primary aid distributer inside the territory, which has been devastated by 10 months of war between israel and hamas.

the spokespeople from unrwa — one of the key groups working in gaza — held a briefing about the deteriorating situation. the space that people have been confined to is so minimal. there are tanks in areas that used to be designated as safe areas, and this is just another testament to there being nowhere safe in the gaza strip. people have nowhere to go. there is nowhere to find safety. it's very limited access to humanitarian resources, because the humanitarian operations are also being displaced within these evacuation orders. and the humanitarian response here is being completely strangled and limited our ability of what we can do. 0ur correspondent jon donnison has this update from jerusalem. the un is the primary supplier and distributor of much needed humanitarian aid in gaza. tonight, it had said it had had to suspend its operations because of safety concerns after an evacuation order in deir al balah, in the centre of the gaza strip from the israeli military.

and that is where the un has its main command centre. it said its staff had had to evacuate quickly and that they'd left their equipment behind. now, the un official stressed that un agencies would not be leaving gaza, but they were now looking for somewhere safe to operate and said those safe areas were constantly being squeezed. now israel, for its part, says it issues these evacuation orders to try to protect civilian lives in gaza. separately this evening, a hamas official has poured scorn on suggestions from the white house that progress is being made in ceasefire talks that are ongoing in cairo. he said, hamas was still refusing to take part, saying that israel had changed the terms of something that hamas agreed to back injuly. so despite intense pressure from the united states in particular, no sign of any progress in those talks.

away from gaza — the palestinian health ministry says israeli settlers shot dead one palestinian and wounded three others in bethlehem in the occupied west bank. the israeli military says it is looking into the reports. and the israel defence forces says it used aircraft to carry out an air strike on a militant operations centre in a refugee camp, neartulkarm. it says that its troops have been separately blocking routes and conducting searches elsewhere in the west bank, following reports of an abduction. 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 — including tests and vaccines. its director—general says outbreaks in the democratic republic of congo and neighbouring countries can be controlled and can be stopped. but he also said a comprehensive and coordinated plan of action will be needed to limit the spread of the disease.

health workers in the democratic republic of congo say more than 70% of people being treated for mpox at their clinics are children under the age of 10. the bbc has been given exclusive access to two treatment centres in the eastern part of the country — the centre of the latest mpox outbreak. 0ur africa correspondent simijolaoso has this report, filmed inside the drc for the bbc by a local camera operator. a warning, viewers may find some images distressing from the start. toddler cries. weary and in pain. two—year—old encima caught mpox from one of her five siblings, who have all had the disease. translation: this is - the first time i've seen it. when my child got sick, other parents told me it might be measles, but we started treating measles and failed. this hospital in kavumu is in south kivu, the epicentre of this new mpox crisis. it has had 800 patients sincejune — more than 70% have been children.

eight have died — all under the age of five. about 100 miles away, the spring in amani's step slowly returns after four days of free treatment at this centre in munigi near goma. like the hospital, three—quarters of patients here have been under the age of ten. health workers told the bbc they've had up to ten new cases a day. the idp camps are overcrowded, so you see children in idp camps, they are always playing together, so they have time together. they don't really care about distance, social distance, they don't care about that. so they play together. they are always together. and you can also see like in the household, they even pass the night on the same bed. you can find three, four, five children. so that means the transmission is really present

on a daily basis. these camps, in the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo, are crammed with millions who have been displaced because of an ongoing armed conflict — the perfect place for mpox to run rampant. charity workers are trying to get ahead by teaching people about symptoms, stigma and hygiene. simijolaoso, bbc news. translation: if a person dies in the house, we are not - allowed to touch it with our bare hands. we should be provided with protective equipment so we can dispose of it. this disease has brought us a lot of fear. they hope the vaccinations will begin this week,

with children first in line but the conflict will pose a challenge. simijolaoso, bbc news. now to the arrest, in france, of pavel durov — the founder of the social media network telegram. officials are understood to have extended his detention for questioning until wednesday. prosecutors have said his detention is part of a cyber criminality investigation. earlier, the french president, emmanuel macron, was asked about the arrest. he said there was no political element, insiting it was up to judges to rule on the case, and that france was committed to freedom of expression — as long as it did not break the law. 0ur correspondent will vernon has more details. well, we heard from the paris prosecutor earlier confirming the details of pavel durov�*s arrest. they said that he was detained saturday night. as you say, his detention, his time in police custody has now been extended. and this statement from the prosecutor said that the investigation was actually opened on the 8th ofjuly. and it concerns complicity in the distribution of child pornography and the selling of drugs, money laundering and a refusal to cooperate with law enforcement. now, those potential charges, because he hasn't been officially

charged yet, but they refer to an unnamed person that is almost certainly, of course, going to be pavel durov. but those accusations of involvement in drug laundering, sorry, money laundering, drug trafficking, child pornography and that kind of thing, that's things we've heard many, many times before from western law enforcement agencies. they are increasingly concerned about criminals using telegram. the reason that this is the app of choice for so many criminals is that there's very little moderation compared to other social media companies. telegram has very few moderators, and it's been called the number one platform for organised crime. the main network used by terrorists was how one former head of french intelligence called it, and telegram has also been linked to the summer riots here in the uk that people who were organising that violent disorder organised it via telegram.

some of them. of course, telegram, the company would deny all of those accusations and did so in a statement last night saying that pavel durov had nothing to hide and that it's absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse on that platform. well, are there implications, then, for other platforms like telegram to also be drawn into these sorts of accusations? you talked about telegram's response denying that, but i'm just wondering if this could open the door to others. well, i'm sure there's huge concern among other social media companies. that is perhaps why one reason why president macron waded into this debate, as you were saying in your intro, the french president tweeting that this was not in any way a political decision. that's almost certainly a response to critics like elon musk and others who are very unhappy about the arrest of mr durov, who see it as an assault on freedom of speech. you don't believe that

ceos of tech companies should be held responsible for what goes on in their platform. let's not forget, this is an unprecedented step. i can't think of this ever happening before when a boss of a major global tech firm is arrested for something like this, i think french officials are looking to send a strong message to all social media companies that they must comply with law enforcement. but perhaps another target audience for these, for these tweets from the french president, was russian officials to because there was a cacophony of criticism on russian state tv yesterday. pavel durov is russian. he's known as the russian zuckerberg, although he doesn't live there anymore. russian officials saying that this arrest showed the double standards of the west. now, of course, uh, the idea of russian officials lecturing anyone on internet freedoms is pretty absurd to anyone who follows events in russia. after all, ex instagram,

facebook, the bbc, you know, any independent russian media are all blocked in russia. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

jake sullivan will become the first us national security adviser to visit china since barack 0bama's administration, when he arives in bejing later today. his visit is part of a broader effort to stabilise relations between the two superpowers. tensions remain high over issues ranging from the south china sea and taiwan, to disagreements over china's support for russia. i'm joined now from washington by bonnie glaser, an expert on us—china relations, and chinese foreign and security policy. great to speak to you. get us up great to speak to you. get us up to speed with the key issues that both sides but want to be

addressing today. we that both sides but want to be addressing today.— addressing today. we have already mentioned - addressing today. we have already mentioned at - addressing today. we have| already mentioned at some addressing today. we have i already mentioned at some of them. china's support for russia's defence industry is going to be very high on the list. china's pressure on the philippines and the south china sea, its aggressive actions against taiwan in the taiwan strait, also bilateral issues. maybe talking about chinese law enforcement cooperation with the united states, specifically, fentanyl and specifically, fenta nyl and stopping the specifically, fentanyl and stopping the chemical precursors from coming into the united states in the form of fentanyl, mostly going through mexico. the chinese will have their own list of issues that they want to talk about, probably us tariffs and technology restrictions will be at the top of beijing's list. was certainly there are a lot of issues that involve both superpowers. in terms of priorities, what do you think

is the key for the us here? most of these conversations that have taken place by jake sullivan and his counterpart, the fifth time they ferment in the fifth time they ferment in the last year and half, the last 10—12 hours which allows the opportunity for both sides to get beyond to the talking points and to dig into the intentions behind their policies, maybe even to allay some concerns or perhaps, dispense with some of the misperceptions, misunderstandings that have existed. so i think they actually move through these buckets of issues. they talk about bilateral, regional and they talk about global issues. because increasingly, the united states and china are competing on the international stage. and there really are so many issues at that are just

crucial for their relationship. the biden administration has viewed this channel as important. i think beijing has also viewed it as important in managing the risks. and as jake sullivan himself set a wild back, intense competition requires intense diplomacy. should we be expecting any deliverables, and do you think there are any areas where grounds will be made to? the lament i think one of the features that this particular dialogue is that that they don't set out to achieve deliverables. the announcements that come from both sides are usually fairly short. they try to talk about the president's instructions to their respective governments and how they are being implemented. but one thing i would mention that some senior us officials have signalled is that they may talk about one more meeting between

president biden and xij—mac. now that president biden is not running for election, he may attend to the apex summit meeting later this your work, it could be both, the g20 meeting. this will be held in south america. —— apec meeting. south america. —— apec meeting. so there is an opportunity for xij—mac and president biden to have a meeting in person and if you want a to use the term deliverable that is something that could come out of this meeting. next — to a deepfake pornography scandal which is gripping south korea. several arrests have already been made this year — many of which have involved teenagers. the images are being distributed on social media — and have targeted women and children — as well as south korean celebrities. 0ur reporterje seung lee has been following the story. it's about the suspected

creation and distribution of deepfake pornographic content on telegram chat rooms. now, this all first came to light a few days ago, when one south korean broadcaster reported that a recent university graduate had received messages on her instagram telling her that deepfake pornographic materials containing herface were being circulated in the telegram chat room. and she started to receive online harassment from those who found out her identity. and this specific chat room is thought to have been created in 2020 and is believed to have had more than 1000 members. so this issue has been brewing for some quite time now. now, just briefly, how is deepfake pornography made? well, perpetrators are thought to be using social media to look for images of people's faces. so this has stoked widespread fear amongst the public in south korea, with many young girls and women especially taking down their photographs from their profiles on social media or turning their profiles into private mode. tributes have been pouring in for the former england football manager sven—goran eriksson, who's died of pancreatic

cancer at the age of 76. he was england's first foreign manager, and led the team to the quarter finals of three major tournaments during his five years in charge between 2001 and 2006. erikson managed 12 clubs during his career — including manchester city and roma — and also had spells in charge of mexico, the ivory coast and the philippines. former england captain david beckham called him �*passionate, caring, calm and a true gentleman'. london's metropolitan police say two people suffered life threatening injuries after being stabbed on monday at the notting hill carnival. three other people were stabbed, and there were two incidents where victims were slashed — and one where someone was injured with a corrosive substance. 35 police officers were injured, and there have been at least 230 arrests, among the million—strong crowd which came to west london. today is gonna be the day —

when 0asis might announce they're getting back together. they were one of the biggest rock bands of the 1990s — but haven't performed live together in 15 years. could that be about to change? as noor nanji reports, the gallagher brothers have ramped up speculation on social media that an announcement could be imminent. this cryptic post on x late last night... # you gotta roll with it #you gotta take your time...# ..fuelled the rumours that an 0asis reunion could finally be announced tomorrow. # slip inside the eye of your mind...# gigs in their hometown, manchester, as well as ten nights in london, are rumoured to be on the cards as well as a glastonbury headline slot. # today is gonna be the day # that they're gonna throw it back to you...# it's exactly 30 years since the gallagher brothers shot to fame as britpop ruled the airwaves.

# i don't believe that anybody feels the way ido # about you now...# but they also had a fractious relationship. after a fight in 2009, noel left the band. # backbeat, the word is on the street # that the fire in your heart is out...# so, what's the story here? they've already had the glory — seven albums, eight number one singles. why do this now? after the decades of going at each other with cricket bats and fire extinguishers, it's extraordinary that they seem to be getting along better. and maybe money is an incentive here. you know, tickets are expected to be costing more than £100 at heaton park and wembley stadium, should this go ahead. so maybe they're just...they can put aside their differences to fill their coffers. whatever the motivation, fans in manchester are delighted and are not shy of showing it. i'm not going to sleep tonight. i am so excited. but there's still an element of doubt that i'm like, please don't be just another record relaunch or something. i'm desperate for them

to come back together. i've seen them both separately this year as well. incredible, incredible. both different, different concerts completely, but together, you know... best believe i'll be there. and obviously with noel getting a bit of a divorce, maybe? - he might need the money. he's got to do it before usl old guys are 60 and we can actually still stand up in a field. _ # is it my imagination # or have i finally found something worth living for?# is it definite or is it maybe? all will become clear tomorrow. noor nanji, bbc news. hello there. still very unsettled across the north and the west of the uk at times. more wet and windy weather to come here, but also some sunshine in the forecast and some late summer warmth, too, especially for southern and eastern areas of england. now through the night, this front has been tracking

southwards and eastwards. on tuesday morning it's still bringing heavy downpours of rain for northern ireland, western scotland, some of that rain falling on already saturated ground, particularly across dumfries and galloway. so heavy downpours still here, windy up through these irish sea coast, but it's breezy wherever you are. a dry start to the day though for england and wales and very mild, particularly across northern ireland. now, on tuesday that front continues to slip further southwards and eastwards, the rain turning lighter and more patchy. behind the front things will dry out and brighten up. there'll be some sunny spells and some showers. the front, by the time we get to the afternoon, is draped down from north—west england, wales and south—west england, so cloudy with outbreaks of rain here but ahead of the front there'll be a lot of sunshine and the highest of the temperatures mid 20s perhaps, but also possibly 20 or 21 degrees in parts of aberdeenshire. now, the position of the front could change on tuesday into wednesday, it's moving very slowly as it bumps into the area of high pressure almost stalls. it's just a narrow band

of cloud, really, as we head through wednesday, stretching down from, say, north yorkshire, through wales and into south west england. behind it sunny spells but also some more heavy showers pushing eastwards from parts of western scotland and northern ireland. again, more sunshine across many parts of east anglia, south east england. temperatures here could get to 27 or 28 celsius, perhaps, but wednesday does look as if it's going to be the warmest day of the week, because after that front clears on thursday, we draw in more of a westerly wind. so we're getting that fresher atlantic air back again, and there will be a drop in temperature, but still a lot of dry weather to come in the forecast. again, some more showers affecting parts of north—west england, northern ireland and western scotland in particular, pushing eastwards, but further south it is a mostly dry story, but temperatures are lower across the board, generally 16 to 23 celsius, north to south. then a ridge of high pressure may well build in as we head through thursday and friday, keeping things largely dry into the weekend and feeling a touch warmer.
