hello, this is bbc news. more new on the conflict in the middle east — the head of the un, antonio guterres, has called on israel to halt its major military operation in the north of the occupied west bank immediately. israel's military said it had killed five palestinian militants in the city of tulkarm. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson is injenin and sent us this update israeli forces are still in position in cities across the northern west bank, including here injenin. you can see the refugee camp in the distance behind me, and we heard loud explosions and gunfire coming from that area overnight. we still haven't been able to get into to understand what has happened in to to understand what has happened there, or indeed elsewhere in the city ofjenin, where the israeli forces are still in place and are still there's

still heavy restrictions on on moving around. but we do know that there's been a lot of activity in some of the other places in nur shams camp in tulkarem overnight. there were five people killed in the operation there, including the head of the tulkarem brigades, mohammad jabbar, and he'd been on the israeli hit list for a long time. they tried to kill him several times before. he does now seem to have been killed, and also a palestinian authority police officer here injenin was one of two people we understand to have been killed overnight. and if those those deaths are confirmed, that will bring the total number of people killed so far in this operation to to 18. parents in the uk are being urged to ensure their children

smoking could be banned and hospitals and sports clones. what have you heard from the government on this? we have you heard from the government on this? ~ . . , ~ on this? we already knew the government _ on this? we already knew the government was _ on this? we already knew the government was carrying - on this? we already knew the government was carrying on i on this? we already knew the . government was carrying on with plans to gradually ban smoking so anyone born and 2009 or later well never legally be able to buy cigarettes, they have been quite open about that plan from the previous government and have said they will make that more when they get to it. what we have heard today is going quite significantly further, suggesting that smoking could also be banned outside pubs and restaurants and hospitals in england and wales as well. the department of health and social care

say they do not comment on leaks but what we are dealing is them suggesting that smoking comes at quite a significant cost and end the response they have talked about the number of lives that are impacted by smoking and the cost to the nhs. they say it cost the taxpayer billions of pounds as well. we have been quite clear that they are considering a range of measures to stop people from getting second—hand smoke essentially and when you see a statement like that from the government then they are not denying that they are looking at this means the very much are looking at it but there is still a process to go through for that becomes a reality. what have you heard from the opposition as well as other parties and reaction to this? the opposition as well as other parties and reaction to this?—

and reaction to this? the son who first reported _ and reaction to this? the son who first reported the _ and reaction to this? the son who first reported the suggested - and reaction to this? the son who i first reported the suggested there is some internal conflict in government about the impact that this could have on hospitality. there was an argument made in 2007 when the ban on indoor smoking came in, people said it would lead to thousands of pub closures and in the aftermath of that there were many pub closures, experts say it is impossible to really work out whether that is because of the indoor smoking ban on a number of other things that happened around the same time such as alcohol getting cheaper in supermarkets and the financial crash. you cannot really this is sadly say this led to that. it is clearly a concern within government and something that mps such as nigel farage the region of reform uk at picking up on and

opposing. also getting a sense of scepticism from some conservative leadership candidates although b have not heard from the conservative party directly and their current stance is worth seeing that the ban that rishi sunak initially introduced was controversial in itself. it is possible to see a world in which they end up being opposed to some of these measures the government appears to be looking at. labour have a huge majority and i think it will be a case of navigating their internal party and navigating their internal party and navigating voters are not wanting to alienate small businesses and pubs rather than necessarily the opposition from mps that will make a difference to how this plays out. thank you. south korea's constitutional court

has ruled that the government has not done enough to say how it plans to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. in what is asia's first such case — the ruling is a partial victory for more than two—hundred—and—fifty young climate change activists, who named an embryo as their lead plantiff. the court said the government had not outlined how it planned to get to carbon neutrality in the two decades from 2030, and ordered it to work on a scheme. in 2021, south korea made a legally binding commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 5.4 percent every year from 2023 — a target they have so far failed to meet. let's speak to yuna ku, a reporter for bbc korean in seoul. why is this being described as a partial victory? figs why is this being described as a partial victory?— partial victory? as explained as that because _ partial victory? as explained as that because the _ partial victory? as explained as that because the court - partial victory? as explained as - that because the court unanimously ruled that the law stipulating greenhouse gas emission goal is unconstitutional, however they only recognised that the fact that the

in the us, the fbi says it hasn't yet found a clear motive for the attempted assassination of donald trump last month.it said the gunman thomas crooks had searched extensively online for events that involved both the former president and joe biden, before settling on the trump rally in pennsylvania. 0fficers said crooks' online activity showed a mixture of ideologies and there was no evidence of any co—conspirators. 0ur correspondentjohn sudworth gave some background to this latest fbi briefing. well, the fbi has come in for intense criticism. first and foremost, of course, for its failure to protect the former president on the day of the shooting, but more recently over its handling of the investigation and the evidence. and this briefing was, in part, an attempt by the fbi to push back on some of those more recent criticisms, saying that the protocols of evidence have been followed and that it is doing all it can to get to the bottom of the motives for the attack. what's interesting, though,

is that despite those hundreds of hours of video footage they have trawled through, despite hundreds of interviews carried out, despite the intense scrutiny on the social media use and the internet footprint of thomas crooks, the gunman, they are no clearer to establishing a motive. he remains something of an enigma. they say that his social media use shows a mixture of views, no real clues there as to motive, and that although there was intensive again, the evidence shows that thomas crooks was searching both republican and democrat events. the fbi has also put into the public domain photographs, one of the weapons that was used in the

shooting and the backpack used to transported and photographs of the unexploded devices found in his car. they have also confirmed some of the details of the immediate steps leading up to the shooting, photographs of the air—conditioning unit he climbed onto overlooking the valley and that a full six minutes passed before the first of the eight shots she fired killing an audience member and injuring donald trump. they also confirmed that two shots were fired in return, one from a local law enforcement officer and one from a secret service sniper, it was that final shot to the head that proved to be fatal. around the world and across the uk.

meanwhile, the french authorities stressed that the investigation is not politically motivated. a spacex rocket has been grounded following a failed mission — as the federal aviation authority, the faa investigates what went wrong.the falcon 9 rocket, which powers satellite launches as well as trips to orbit for astronauts, experienced a rare failure where its first—stage booster tipped over and exploded while attempting to land after its latest launch. the faa's investigation will determine when the falcon 9 might return to the launchpad — if out of commission, it could mean rolling setbacks for nasa and spacex ventures. returning to a typhoon that has hit

animation inside out 2 and the superhero picture deadpool & wolverine. but despite the successes this has not been a summer season of unalloyed joy for the film industry as tom brook now reports from new york. in welcome news for cinemas around the world moviegoers have been out in force in recent weeks, eager to see hollywood's latest releases. hello! the disney and pixar animation inside out two has been a massive hit. i don't know anything about saving worlds. as has the superhero picture deadpool and wolverine, starring ryan reynolds and huthackman. the number of films available at cinemas was depleted by last year's actors and writers strikes. after indifference at the start of the summer, filmgoers seemed happy with the studio offerings. you know, a lot of people are just like, oh, should i go to the movies? should i go? yes, you should go to the movies. there's a lot of things going on at the movies. one of the reasons why inside out two, the biggest hit of the year was such

a triumph, was because it appealed to a very broad swath of moviegoers. i think inside out two was such a huge hit, in part because there really haven't been many big releases that people could take their kids to. and obviously, there is an enormous audience there for something like inside out two. it's the biggest film of the year. you know, it's over, i think $1.5 billion at the global box office. i don't know that anyone expected that, and it really feels like a sign that people do want to take their children to the movies. i think that moviegoing is not this, you know, leftover experience that no one really wants to partake in anymore. people want to go out. despite the success of a slew of blockbusters, overall, box office is still below pre—covid levels. it's also been a challenge for independent cinemas venues showing arthouse films. most people are used to watching movies at home on their televisions, and it's hard to crack through that. people got used to it during covid and they're still used to it.

it's difficult to break that, but i think there's something about stepping foot into a movie theatre. an unexpected benefit that stringency imposed on the independent sector as it chases audiences and revenues, is that producers have become creative in raising funds and, in so doing, generating original projects. the crime thriller santosh, a film set in india, a european co—production, was part of the british offering at the cannes film festival this year, as was september says, a drama involving two sisters set in ireland. ajoint uk, irish, german and greek venture collaborating on co—productions. drawing on talents in diverse lands, is changing the face of uk independent filmmaking. i think you're seeing britain and british cinema represented in so many different ways. it feels very global. i think it speaks to the fact that filmmaking, independent filmmaking, is international. it's really hard to get films made simply out of the financing from one country alone.

so you also feel itjust through the nature of co—production. also, while older arthouse audiences haven't returned since covid, one recent us survey shows the gap is being filled by filmgoers under the age of 35, and many of them want to see old classics, old movies. the classics movie is like, must, everybody should watch them. i think that people that really like love cinema are more interested in older movies. it's hard to draw firm conclusions on the fate of the movie business from the summer months. there are some grounds for optimism, but cinemagoing around the world is undergoing a transition, and cinemas once thriving linchpins of the community still face a challenging future. tom brook, bbc news, new york. live pictures from paris for keir starmer to meet president emanuel

macron. he is on a european tour, continuing efforts to build bridges with european leaders and will hold talks with the french president today. the prime minister travelled from berlin to paris, these are two days of meetings designed to show the uk wants to reset its relationship with the eu. following years of tension around brexit. keir starmer and a manual macron amongst the audience at the paralympic on wednesday, this will be a breakfast meeting. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. yesterday we reached 30 celsius in cambridge. today it's more likely to be 23. being our top temperature, it's going to feel fresher and we're looking at a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. now, most of the showers today will be across northern england, northern ireland and scotland, enhanced by this weather front moving from the west to the east. driven along on quite a brisk

breeze come further south. the spacing in the isobars is much wider, not much of a breeze at all. so away from the showers in the north a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, fair—weather cloud bubbling up through the day. there's an outside chance of an isolated shower further south, but the lion's share will be in the north for some of those could be heavy and thundery. temperatures today 14 to about 23 degrees, so quite a drop from what some of us had yesterday. into this evening and overnight a lot of the showers will fade. we'll continue with a brisk breeze and some showers across the far north of scotland and in western areas. in the lighter winds we are looking at some mist and fog patches forming. it's also going to be a cooler night tonight than last night. 0ur overnight lows — 7 to 11 degrees, so any mist and fog that's formed overnight will lift quite quickly tomorrow. high pressure is firmly in charge. tomorrow is going to be fine and settled. but on saturday we've got a change in the weather forecast. this weather front looks like it's going to produce a bit more cloud.

so on friday a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine around, one or two showers coming in in a light breeze across the far north of scotland initially and through the day we'll start to see some sea breezes developing. so if you head towards the coast, temperatures will be that little bit lower. but inland we're looking at 18 in glasgow, 19 in newcastle to 24 in london. so the temperatures climbing a little bit more on saturday. we start off with some mist and fog patches, but we've also got our weather front in the south. now that's going to introduce more cloud than we thought, and also the chance of some light and patchy rain move north of that. it's drier and it's sunnier, but something we're watching is that area of cloud in the north sea. itjust might come onshore across parts of eastern scotland and northeast england through the day. temperatures 14 to 22 degrees. now, beyond that, it turns a little bit more unsettled on sunday and monday we've got fronts moving northwards and also coming in from the west. they at times will introduce some rain and it could be heavy and thundery.
