live from london. this is bbc news. the biggest landlord in the house of commons — the labour mpjas athwal — says sorry to his tenants after the bbc uncovers problems with mould and ant infestations at a number of his rental properties. officials in ukraine say at least seven people including a young girl have died in a guided bomb attack on the city of kharkiv. oasis issue a warning after pre—sale tickets are relisted for thousands of pounds. and the football transfer window has just closed — could raheem sterling be about to swap chelsea for arsenal.

hello, i'm lauren taylor. a london labour mp, revealed by the bbc to be renting out flats with some having black mould and ant infestations, says he's profoundly sorry that tenants have been let down. jas athwal, mp for ilford south and the house of commons' biggest landlord, owns 15 rental flats. one tenant told us that they were threatened with eviction by the letting agent if they complained. mr athwal says that he is shocked by the bbc�*s findings, that maintenance will be done swiftly, and that tenants are free to speak out. here's our political investigations correspondentjoe pike. labour promised to crack down on bad landlords, but the residents of ilford south may have just elected one. this is the bathroom ceiling of a flat owned by the area's mp, jas athwal. he has 15 rental properties. seven are above this shop, where almost half the families

told me they regularly clean their bathroom ceilings to remove black mould. when i visited, filming on my phone, i also saw evidence of ant infestations in a number of the properties. "the ants are everywhere," one resident said, pointing to insects running up their wall. "they are on my kids body and on their clothes." in the dirty communal areas, the lights didn't work and the fire alarm appeared to be broken. none of the tenants wanted their names to be used. some specifically explained this was due to a fear of being evicted. one said they'd been threatened by the letting agent that if they complained, they'd be asked to leave. i swear by almighty god... jas athwal didn't want to speak on camera. he initially said he was a good landlord, but in a second statement said he was shocked by what we found. at first, he claimed his properties had been repaired but then admitted he's profoundly sorry and maintenance will be done swiftly. he added his rents are below market rates, that properies are

managed by an agency and he'd not been aware of these problems. jas athwal also initially claimed no—one had been threatened with eviction, yet while i was at the flats, i felt there was some evidence of intimidation. it seems like the man who manages these properties for the mpjas athwal knows we're here and he knows we're asking questions. on two separate occasions, when i was having private conversations off camera with separate tenants, they got a call from the property manager. one resident who'd spoken on camera about problems with their flat later asked that we not use the interview. another asked me not to use images of the mould two days after allowing me to take pictures of it. jas athwal has said tonight he's more than happy for tenants to provide updates to journalists. i'm here at fairlop waters in redbridge with councillorjas athwal... mr athwal has also admitted his flats do not have the correct licences required under a scheme he introduced last year as redbridge council leader. he had previously incorrectly told the bbc he was in full compliance.

conservative london assembly member andrew boff has visited the flats and seen the mould. he wants labour to investigate. the labour party and redbridge council have got to ask themselves whether or not they can sustain that position, with him being a councillor and indeed a member of parliament. and is jas athwal a rogue landlord? all the evidence says yes. mps are supposed to stand up for their constituents. some are arguing tonight that jas athwal has been letting them down. police have begun a murder investigation after a 13—year—old boy was stabbed to death at a house in the west midlands. the boy was treated by paramedics at the address in oldbury yesterday afternoon, but he died of his injuries. here's phil mackie. it's a tragically familiar scene — police tape, flowers and tears. all day, people have been coming to leave messages, and in some cases,

the grief was palpable. and there's fear, too. it's a real danger around this area. i mean, it's not a really nice area to live in any more, but for a 13—year—old, it's quite sad. i've got 13—year—old daughter, and i won't be bringing her out, i won't be letting her come out on her own. the focus of the investigation has been on the house where the boy lived and died. it's involved forensic investigations as well as door—to—door inquiries. i'm here to let the family and the wider community know that we will work with you and support you as we seek to find who is responsible for the death of this young boy. the west midlands had the highest rate of knife—crime offences in england and wales last year, and all too often it was teenagers who were the victims of knife crime. they launched something called project guardian here to try to combat the problem five years ago. but since then, the numbers have kept going up.

youth worker malachi is one of the many people who's trying to help, but it's not easy. young people are in fear, because they hear stories like this and think that they need to equip themselves with a knife. so, you know, a lot of young people i mentor tell me, "i don't want to die, but if i'm in a situation where someone's got a knife, what do i do?" the danger is if you carry a knife, you use it. and they're doing it out of fear, they're doing it to defend themselves. no young person wakes up and wants to kill another young person. the loss of another young life has once again highlighted how knife crime is devastating families, notjust here, but across the country. phil mackie, bbc news, oldbury. officials in ukraine's second city, kharkiv, say at least five people have been killed and dozens injured in russian strikes including a guided bomb attack on a residential building and a playground. the victims include a girl who was in the playground, and several people in an apartment block that caught fire. pictures from the scene show the upper floors of two

buildings ablaze. the local governor said russia targeted civilian areas in kharkiv with guided missiles. translation: let's say unequivocally that there were guidance _ systems on missiles. they didn't fly along ballistic trajectories, ie purposefully along certain co—ordinates. we draw one conclusion — these streets are exclusively parks with large gatherings of civilians. this is a residential building. this is, again, mass terror against our civilian population. also, the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has sacked the commander of the air force. the move comes after an f—16fighterjet — sent by nato allies — crashed while shooting down russian missiles in ukraine. a special commission was set up by the ukrainian defence ministry to investigate the incident. the pilot was killed in the incident — his name was oleksiy mes, with the callsign moonfish, and he was one of the first few ukrainian pilots trained to fly advanced fighter jets.

the cause of the crash is unknown. israel says it has killed a hamas commander injenin in the west bank, on the third day of its military operation there — an operation which has attracted international criticism, including from the uk. today the foreign office said it's "deeply concerned" about israel's methods and "reports of civilian casualties and the destruction of civilian infrastructure." lucy williamson reports from inside the west bank, and a warning that her report contains distressing images from the start. on a road outsidejenin this morning, israeli forces came face—to—face with the man they believe led hamas here. inside the white car, wissam khazem, shot dead by the army. and with him two other men, who tried to escape, killed in an air strike as they run. israel says all were involved in shooting and bombing attacks.

the eastern areas ofjenin and its refugee camp have both been sealed off for the past three days, and that are fresh reports of casualties, including an 82—year—old man who paramedics said was shot nine times. this morning, the army pulled out of this camp in tulkarm, the destruction there enough to remind residents of a war. this woman said the army laid wires from her home to blow up two of the houses opposite. families she's known for decades. translation: i have ten—year—old triplets, and they trapped us in a room, then they started the explosions, five explosions in total. imagine the walls shaking and your children clinging to you. it feels like we are in gaza. we met a woman stranded by the rubble that used to be a neighbour's house. translation: they told us that we have tunnels -

and we smuggled the armed groups to this house. he claimed that we have tunnels, like those in gaza. he brought a drill and dug into the floor, and only found a sewer drain. later, she shows us the broken floor. beneath it, what appears to be a drain, too small for a person to fit through. you hear a lot of comparisons here now with the war in gaza. this is still a very different situation, but almost a year of the gaza war has changed attitudes and tactics on both sides. it's changed the sense of threat israel feels from this conflict here, and many people are saying it's changing israel's response. negotiating the damaged streets, a funeral procession for a 69—year—old with a disability shot dead by a sniper, neighbours said, when he opened his window. alongside it, gunfire

for the local leader of the armed groups here, mohammed jaber, also killed in this operation. a show of force from tulkarm's armed fighters, less than a day after israel's army withdrew. lucy williamson, bbc news, jenin. a supreme courtjudge in brazil has ordered the "immediate and complete suspension" of the social media platform x in the country. the ruling comes after x failed to meet a 21! hour deadline to appoint a legal representative. thejudge, alexandre de moraes, ruled that the company's operations should be suspended until it complied with all related court orders, including the payment of fines. in a series of posts, mr musk called the judge "an evil dictator" and accused him of "trying to destroy democracy in brazil." oasis have issued a warning against reselling tickets to their comeback tour, after some were listed for thousands of pounds within minutes of a pre—sale. a limited number of fans were able

to buy the first batch of tickets during a three—hour window on friday evening. shortly after, some tickets were being listed online for more than £6,000 — over a0 times the face value of a standing ticket. adam webb is the campaign manager for fanfair alliance, set up to help consumers and artists tackle the problem of ticket touting. what have you seen in terms of the scale of the reselling. it’s what have you seen in terms of the scale of the reselling.— scale of the reselling. it's quite hard to tell _ scale of the reselling. it's quite hard to tell because _ scale of the reselling. it's quite hard to tell because one - scale of the reselling. it's quite hard to tell because one of - scale of the reselling. it's quite hard to tell because one of the | hard to tell because one of the problems is these websites can't guarantee the tickets that they sale —— cell. so you are never quite sure how many of these tickets exist because you could conceivably list tickets you don't actually possess. clearly, some of the numbers are quite alarming and obviously, the main on sale is taking tomorrow —— taking place tomorrow. the good things is the bands already put out

windermere on a day like today always looks stunning. for much of august, though, it's been raining here and the water company responsible for sewage in the area says that's why effluent has been pumped into this lake in recent days. unfortunately, us reporting on sewage flowing into windermere is nothing new. but what is new is that real—time data is now available showing exactly when it's happening. and what that tells us is that for the last eight days, at some points around this lake, it's been going on continuously. so this is one of the places that united utilities has allowed to dump sewage into windermere. campaigners say it's unacceptable and more information is needed. for us at save windermere, what we're calling for is that we should have volumes monitored on these overflows because these sites have been spilling for a week straight. how much has gone into the environment and what has that

damage done to england's greatest natural asset? united utilities says there's good reason why the last week's discharges have happened. when we see periods of significant rainfall, the system fills up and it has to go somewhere, and the way the system was designed back in victorian time, them overflows operate to ensure that that water does not appear in people's houses, in the streets, it goes into the watercourse. how do businesses here feel when it comes to tourism and the fact that there's this waste going into the lake? i think people are frustrated with what's happening. you know, extreme weather events are not helping at all. there is frustration around the reporting of it. but of course, there's frustration in that we want to have our own lake district version of lake annecy where nothing goes into the lake at all. last year's water quality measures did rate windermere as excellent. lots of people use the lake — are they concerned? i'm obviously worried about the children being in the water. they love it here, as we do, but the water quality is a major concern then, yeah. and it's a terrible thing that people are enjoying the water and they're pumping sewage into it.

earlier this week, the prime minister said he was backing tough fines on polluting water companies. we will hear more about this in the coming months. danny savage, bbc news, windermere. hospices say their services supporting and caring for terminally ill people are at serious risk of being cut because of a funding crisis, with five hospices planning job losses because of financial pressures. the body which represents the sector, hospice uk, says the financial situation has never been so grave with organisations facing a total shortfall of 60 million pounds this year alone. our health editor hugh pym reports. claire, a senior hospice nurse, is with tracey, recently diagnosed with incurable cancer. she's 37 and has three teenage children. when i got diagnosed and everything, it was a shock to me.

it still is, to be fair. i don't think it really has properly sank in. fortunately, i'd been referred to st giles. they've given me their support and everything, and they've made things happen. claire works for st giles hospice in the west midlands, visiting patients at home. in general, it's lovely working for the hospice... but st giles, like others, is facing intense financial pressures and today announced that a0 posts would go. claire is worried. it's very unnerving. it's very unsettling for all the staff. you know, everybody's worried about, you know, the prospect of the job, but fundamentally, we're all worried about, you know, what that means to our patients as well, really. at the hospice, andrew, who has renal cancer, is getting used to his new, calmer surroundings after a transfer from hospital. kristy, the clinical director, is reassuring him.

my name's kristy, and i'm just going to have a little chat with you about how things have been. slowly but surely, we're getting on top of it. i feel like you're on my team. that's a really important feeling, because we are on your team and we're here to look after you. 0k. kristy and the senior management team are facing up to difficult decisions on cuts. i have 23 beds on this unit that i would easily fill twice over. but i cannot afford to do that, so i now have to make the decisions and work with my teams to find out who can prioritise access to those beds and how many staff i have around me. as a nurse, and as a specialist palliative care professional for a number of years, it's an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking decision we have to make. hospices are faced with rising heating and food bills and having to fund higher wage increases, and only a third of budgets are funded by the nhs. it's an absolute scandal to see hospice services being taken away from communities at this time because there isn't enough money.

we need to find a better way of funding hospice care. the welsh government has offered more money to hospices. there have been talks in scotland and northern ireland. the department of health, covering england, said the problems would take time to fix but the aim was to give everyone access to high—quality end—of—life care. hugh pym, bbc news. let's take a quick look at what's making the headlines on some of the front pages of the first editions of the morning papers. we start with the daily telegraph — which leads on new research into so—called weight loss drugs like ozempic and wegovy. scientists say they could have far—reaching benefits beyond what was ever imagined. the times has the same story on its front page. the research seems to show that the drugs could effectively curb the effects of getting old. there's also a photo of british swimmer — tully kearney. earlier today — she won her second gold at the paris paralympics. another paralympian success story on the front cover of the guardian — lizzi jordan celebrating after winning the first cycling gold of the games for paralympics gb. but the paper leads on a story

about thames water. it claims the company lobbied the government to intervene with the regulator to allow it to charge far higher bills. the daily mail reports that the prince of wales and the duke of sussex did not speak to each other when the both attended a memorial for their mother's brother in law. and the daily mirror claims to have an exclusive over the sacking ofjermaine jenas. the former footballer lost his job at the bbc following complaints about workplace conduct. the paper says he is battling to save his marriage. the summer football transfer window is now closed. millions of pounds are changing hands as teams finalise their buying and selling. chelsea's raheem sterling has been linked to a move to arsenal or manchest united. alex howell has the latest. today is the day when clubs are scrambling to get their last bits of business done in the summer transfer window. and as you said, they're one of those deals is involving chelsea,

who have been one of the busiest sides throughout this transfer window. they've spent £1 billion over the last few windows and have a large squad, and are trying to get rid of some of their players. one of those is raheem sterling. he's training away from the main group, and it didn't look as though he would be able to leave. but in the last hour, we've learned that he's in talks with arsenal aboutjoining them on loan. he knows the manager there well, but one of the stumbling blocks is whether they can find an agreement about his large wages. there's also deals going on across london. ivan toney, the england and brentford striker, is in talks with saudi club al ahli about moving there. there was a thought he would join a bigger premier league club, but those moves haven't come about and it looks like he's going tojoin the saudi pro league to play in the same division as cristiano ronaldo and neymar. there's also been moves for aaron ramsdale from arsenal and also here, one of the largest and longest transfer sagas of the window involving mark gay,

the england centre back. ——of the window involving mark guehi, the england centre back. but he is staying here and there hasn't been an agreement made between newcastle and crystal palace as they didn't meet his £70 million valuation. day two of the paralympics in paris saw the medals being won thick and fast. and it was a fantastic day for paralympics gb — who won four gold medals. in the velodrome, there was a gold and a silver in the men's c—3 3000 metre individual pursuit — jaco van gass beating team—mate fin graham in the final. lizzi jordan and her pilot danni khan came first in the women's b 1000 metre time trial. in the pool — maisie summers—newton won gold in the sm—6 women's 200 metre individual medley final. tully kearney took her second gold in as many days — winning the s5 women's hundred—metre freestyle. apparently some other countries are taking part as well. brazil'sjulio agripino dos santos got the para—athletics off to a flying start by winning the men's t—ii 5000 metre gold in a new world record.

let's take a quick look at the medal table. china are top with 11 golds — and 21! medals in total. great britain are second with six golds and 15 medals in total. brazil are currently third. now, what do you make of this portrait? do you find it unsettling? well, sir keir starmer is reported to have moved this painting of margaret thatcher from her old office in number ten. there's been no official comment, but sir keir�*s biographer has suggested the labour leader was less than comfortable with lady thatcher staring down at him. it's annoyed some conservatives, but the man who painted the portrait, richard stone, isn't too worried. the sense ofjudging a good portrait — if you sense you're in the presence of that person, then it starts ticking boxes for me. and if, in this circumstance, two people looking at this portrait found it unsettling, well, then, i like to think that my portrait of margaret thatcher had a presence in that room.

i'm very philosophical. where my portraits hang is entirely up to the owner, the custodian of the picture. one of the most memorable comments i have ever received from any sitter was from lady thatcher. when she saw the finished picture, she lightly touched the pearls at her throat and, with a little break in her voice, she said, "it is how one would wish to be remembered". time for a look at the weekend weather now with ben. hello. this weekend will take us out of august and into september — technically speaking, the start of the meteorological autumn. but in spite of that, there is some warmth and some humidity on the way. warm and humid conditions drove a lot of the showers and thunderstorms across the western side of continental europe during friday. that warm and humid air wafting its way northwards over the weekend. and while there will be some spells of sunshine, we also have the chance of some pretty intense thunderstorms,

although there is still a lot of uncertainty about exactly how many of those there will be and where they might crop up. and actually, saturday will be a largely dry day. quite a lot of sunshine around, more cloud spilling into southern parts of england, perhaps south wales, and the chance of one or two showers and perhaps the odd thunderstorm across the channel islands and perhaps south—east england later in the day. a breeze will keep things cool close to these north sea coasts — 17 for aberdeen and newcastle. more generally, though, 19 to 22 or 23 degrees, so quite a warm day. quite warm and humid overnight, through saturday night into sunday, especially across the south, and we will see further, very well—scattered showers and thunderstorms pushing northwards, i think especially across some eastern counties of england. 16 degrees the overnight low in london, a cooler 9 degrees there for glasgow. as we go through sunday, well, that warm, humid air continues to push northwards. with it, quite a lot of cloud and the chance for one or two of those showers and thunderstorms. if they do crop up, they could bring a lot of rain,

perhaps some squally winds, maybe some hail thrown in,
