them to do so it will only escalate the war. however, the ukrainian authorities say that these weapons will be used only to hit military targets such as airfields from where russian bombers take off and attack ukrainian cities. on friday, ukraine's president zelensky fired the head of the ukrainian air force, mykola oleshchuk, days after an f—16fighterjet crashed, killing its pilot. the f—16 was recently sent by nato allies. it crashed while repelling a barrage of russian missiles over ukraine. meanwhile: moscow is withdrawing 100 paramilitary troops from the west african country of burkina faso to fight against ukraine. the officers from the bear brigade — a russian private military company — will support russia's defence of its kursk region, as ukraine continues its incursion. 200 russian paramilitary troops will remain in burkina faso to help its militaryjunta. on saturday, at least 300 people were killed in one of the worst jihadist attacks in burkina faso in years. and russian president vladimir putin is set to travel to mongolia.

it is first time mr putin will go to a country that is a signatory to the international criminal court since it issued a warrant for his arrest, alleging he committed war crimes. icc member nations are instructed to arrest mr putin

upon his arrival, a better word, this lack of a better word, this incursion on the part of the ukrainians, a successful one we may add, into russia has deeply deeply embarrassed and offended vladimir putin. he is responding with an increased air attack by missile, by glide bombs, into ukraine and this is an example ofa bombs, into ukraine and this is an example of a terrorist strike. we have to realise again that what these glide bombs do, it means the aircraft that release the bomb was flying over russia. as your correspondent mentioned it is only 30 kilometres from the border, kharkiv and from russia so they release in relative safety and then it is guided

down to its target and it has almost £700 of explosives. they have larger ones that have £1000 of explosives. that is a devastating bomb. so i am not surprised with the damage and the casualties that this particular thing is called. vladimir putin will keep this going. 50 vladimir putin will keep this oiiin _ vladimir putin will keep this iioin. , going. 50 if putin continues this, going. so if putin continues this, what _ going. so if putin continues this, what do _ going. so if putin continues this, what do you _ going. so if putin continues this, what do you think- going. so if putin continues this, what do you think the | this, what do you think the ukrainians can do? i heard a comment today from the danish prime minister saying that ukraine needs to win the war. all discussions about redlines must end. what are your thoughts on that? i must end. what are your thoughts on that? i think he is riiht. thoughts on that? i think he is right- sadly — thoughts on that? i think he is right. sadly it _ thoughts on that? i think he is right. sadly it is _ thoughts on that? i think he is right. sadly it is coming - thoughts on that? i think he is right. sadly it is coming a - thoughts on that? i think he is right. sadly it is coming a lot l right. sadly it is coming a lot from washington, dc, from the american who placed handcuffs on the ukrainian. we gave them weapons. the us knows and we have encouraged other countries to give them weapons. the uk's missile mentioned, the storm shadow was a superb weapon and

they should all be used to strike as deep into russia as the targets ukrainians are going to go after. and i trust the ukrainians when they say they are going after military targets as opposed to the russians will have launched this terror campaign that has been going over now for well over two years against civilians. so we have to allow the ukrainians to go ahead and just head back and head back very, very hard against the russian military.— very, very hard against the russian military. the concern that has been _ russian military. the concern that has been expressed - russian military. the concern that has been expressed by l that has been expressed by western officials including those in washington, dc was that in doing so and in using weaponry that comes from those nato countries is that it then opens up this war, potentially, further. the riskier a further escalation. are you worried about that? do you think that is a point to which president putin may go to? we is a point to which president putin may go to?— is a point to which president putin may go to? we would be full if not _ putin may go to? we would be full if not to _ putin may go to? we would be full if not to worry _ putin may go to? we would be full if not to worry about - full if not to worry about these things. not to consider

these things. not to consider the implications of what these additional actions may bring with it. that being said, this is a war and it is a wall that the russians started. ukraine has performed superbly. we have got to stop second—guessing the ukrainians. i hate to say this but if putin decides he wants to up the anti— against the ukrainians, if they are allowed to use these newer and more effective weapon systems, then so be it. the ukrainians likewise will respond. do i think it will engulf your? no i do not. that is not in the best interests of putin, he does not want that. russia will be devastated. they will not be another russia to follow what would be left of if nato decides for whatever reason if nato gets involved in this thing in europe gets involved and europe has to come militarily to the aid of the ukrainians. i militarily to the aid of the ukrainians.— militarily to the aid of the ukrainians. i want to briefly ask ou ukrainians. i want to briefly ask you and _ ukrainians. i want to briefly ask you and i _ ukrainians. i want to briefly ask you and i know - ukrainians. i want to briefly . ask you and i know intelligence can be seen on the ground on this but what shape do you

think the russian forces are in right now when you look for example at the withdrawal of some paramilitary troops from burkina faso to continue to fight in this war. does that tell us anything about the shape of russian forces? it does. it tells me that they are having significant manpower problems. there was reporting that you saw about a month ago that you saw about a month ago that the russian prison system is basically given up everything it can in terms of letting convicts out to go and fight for mother russia. so if they have to do redeploy folks from overseas and these adventures they were having in africa. small numbers of people but if they have to redeploy small numbers of people that tells me they are hurting it comes to personnel.- tells me they are hurting it comes to personnel. very good to talk to _ comes to personnel. very good to talk to you. _ comes to personnel. very good to talk to you. thank _ comes to personnel. very good to talk to you. thank you - comes to personnel. very good to talk to you. thank you for i to talk to you. thank you for being with us. four palestinians have been killed in an israeli air strike that hit a vehicle accompanying a us aid convoy in the gaza strip. the convoy had been carrying food and fuel to the emirati red

crescent hospital. in a statement, us—based aid charity anera says the rented vehicle was driven by locals to help secure the convoy. the israeli military says the car had been seized by gunmen, and it alleges that the four were militants. it follows a similar incident in which a world food programme truck was struckjust days ago. the vehicle was hit ten times by israeli military gunfire. the two staff members in the vehicle were unharmed. israel's military operation in the occupied west bank continued into a third day on friday, with the army saying it killed a hamas commander. on thursday, the israeli military withdrew from a refugee camp near the city of tulkarem in the north of the west bank. it says forces killed five people including the local head of the iran—backed islamichhad movement. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson sent this report.

let's take a look at the state of the race with two experienced strategists: democratjoi chaney, and republican kristin davison. thank you very much for being with us. joi, could we start by talking about the interview last night. harrison while sitting down with cnn and i think most of the remarks after that interview had been that kamala harris tended to fare relatively well. she came out unscathed. but that she may still like specifics when it comes to policy. do you think she may need to fill in some blanks there was to mark the answer is yes. mil blanks there was to mark the answer is yes.— answer is yes. all candidates need to fill _ answer is yes. all candidates need to fill in _ answer is yes. all candidates need to fill in some - answer is yes. all candidates need to fill in some blanks. l

need to fill in some blanks. that is just the nature of the beast that is an interview. i thought she was fantastic. better than came off unscathed, she came a strong candidate and a strong current vice president. of course the meeting was not a policy conversation we went into a lot of detail so she will have to fill in some blanks there and i know that they will do that and release that over the next few weeks and months and then... . and kristin, your thoughts on that and what you might expect as well in terms of the tone at the debate? i as well in terms of the tone at the debate?— as well in terms of the tone at the debate? ., ., the debate? i thought we had 27 minutes, the debate? i thought we had 27 minutes. 18 _ the debate? i thought we had 27 minutes, 18 minutes _ the debate? i thought we had 27 minutes, 18 minutes last - the debate? i thought we had 27 minutes, 18 minutes last night l minutes, 18 minutes last night and did — minutes, 18 minutes last night and did not hear that much from the vice — and did not hear that much from the vice president. it is not so much _ the vice president. it is not so much that she has to fill in blanks— so much that she has to fill in blanks but right now we see that — blanks but right now we see that the _ blanks but right now we see that the biden harris administration trying to decide which — administration trying to decide which version of herself she wants— which version of herself she wants to _ which version of herself she wants to be. she is on the record _ wants to be. she is on the record on_ wants to be. she is on the record on a number of these issues, _ record on a number of these issues, on _ record on a number of these issues, on fracking, on energy and _ issues, on fracking, on energy and on — issues, on fracking, on energy and on the _ issues, on fracking, on energy and on the economy and on climate _ and on the economy and on climate change and now she is taking — climate change and now she is taking a — climate change and now she is taking a reverse position to

try and _ taking a reverse position to try and moderate herself because, frankly, her record is out of— because, frankly, her record is out of step— because, frankly, her record is out of step with most americans. so right now her campaign _ americans. so right now her campaign is taking a deliberate approach of scaling back and rewriting her record and where she stands on a number of issues _ she stands on a number of issues because it is not palatable for the middle—class americans. sol palatable for the middle—class americans. so i think that is what — americans. so i think that is what we _ americans. so i think that is what we are going to see the democrats and the harris while tickets — democrats and the harris while tickets are experiencing a honeymoon right now for sure but at — honeymoon right now for sure but at some point joy will not be enough. americans will want to hear— be enough. americans will want to hear what her plan is to fix these — to hear what her plan is to fix these problems that, frankly, she is— these problems that, frankly, she is in— these problems that, frankly, she is in charge right now to do — she is in charge right now to do so— she is in charge right now to do. so there is a lot of work ahead — do. so there is a lot of work ahead in— do. so there is a lot of work ahead in the next 67 days. talking _ ahead in the next 67 days. talking about the 67 days, and the honeymoon momentum, whatever you want to call it, how do you think the harris campaign needs to keep that momentum up was to mark how should they do that? this momentum up was to mark how should they do that?— should they do that? this is more than _ should they do that? this is more than a _ should they do that? this is more than a honeymoon. i should they do that? this is l more than a honeymoon. this should they do that? this is - more than a honeymoon. this is a full love affair and america

is really excited about the walz and the harris campaign. very excited about that ticket and donald trump would love those kinds of responses about him. in terms of flip—flop we really talked about flip—flopping that has been done on the trump side. so there is no comparison there. yes, i think that what we are seeing in vice president harris is the ability to read the room and to lead an entire country. she is the president for everyone. so where she may have been when she was running several years ago prior to being vice president and where she might be now now that she's had four years of serving on a high level role doing a great job at it but also serving and seeing what works, right? what is tenable, what is politically tenable, what is appropriate in terms of policy, needs to be donein terms of policy, needs to be done in order to keep? that is important. everyone moderates when they get in office and

they see what they need and what can be done, what are the political realities. it is a good smart thing. we want more deliberative for process. the trump campaign in the vance campaign would do well to follow suit. i campaign would do well to follow suit.— follow suit. i want to talk about moderating - follow suit. i want to talk i about moderating positions follow suit. i want to talk - about moderating positions a little bit because kristin, looking at the comments that donald trump made to nbc appearing to be fairly ambiguous when it comes to his position on what he might support when it comes to abortion in florida. are you concerned at all that that could be problematic for him when it comes to continuing to rely on the evangelical vote, for example, which of course we know historically has in proved important for him? i am not concerned at all. president trump before he was president he sat down for an interview with oprah and was a pro—choice american then and this has always been an issue where he has been very open about who he is. most voters on issues like this, as long as there is

respect to mutual understanding that there are different positions they are usually forgiving. in the last two elections, we had entire primary over here last year where the other republican candidates challenging the former president hit him on this issue and he won evangelicals in every single state. he won iowa by 50 points. there is no concern there. frankly it is because when they look at their other option it is the radical progressive abortions to the moment of birth and that is not tenable. donald trump has always been clear about where he is on this issue and people say you are going to lose evangelicals, no, he has won lose say you are going to lose evangelicals, no, he has won this voting block overwhelmingly. we have about this voting block we have about 30 seconds left butjoi on the overwhelmingly. we have about 30 seconds left butjoi on the other side i wanted to ask you other side i wanted to ask you with donald trump they're with donald trump they're coming out saying that he would coming out saying that he would make ivf funded, do you think make ivf funded, do you think that we are potentially that we are potentially actually seeing a race soon for actually seeing a race soon for the centre and some of these the centre and some of these

policies and that could be policies and that could be tricky to the democrats? i hope tricky to the democrats? i hope we're seeing — tricky to the democrats? i hope we're seeing — tricky to the democrats? i hope we're seeing race _ we're seeing race _ tricky to the democrats? i hope we're seeing race to _ tricky to the democrats? i hope tricky to the democrats? i hope we're seeing race to _ tricky to the democrats? i hope we're seeing race to the - tricky to the democrats? i hope we're seeing race to the centre| we're seeing race to the centre on ivf where most americans are we're seeing race to the - tricky to the democrats? i hope we're seeing race to the centre| we're seeing race to the centre on ivf where most americans are supportive of ivf and are supportive of ivf and are thankfully able to have able to have children through the use of thankfully able to have children through the use of ivf. but to my co— guest's ivf. but to my co— comment that progressives children through the use of ivf. but to m) progressives dockets whatever support comment that progressives dockets whatever support abortion up to the moment of abortion up to the moment of birth, that is ridiculous, that birth, that is ridiculous, that is absolutely not true. no—one is absolutely not true. no—one supports abortion to the moment of birth. so there is that. but but of birth. so there is that. but also in terms of him also in it is not so much flip—flopping it is not so much flip—flopping it is not so much about changing positions, like about changing positions, like i said, with vice president i said, with vice president harris, i don't have a problem harris, i don't have a with someone changing position. what trump is engaged in is a frenetic... he changes every few hours depending on wherever he sees the wind blowing and i think that may be of great concern to any of his voters. he is not adding voters. he only has the possibility of taking them away so if you are an evangelical voter i agree you would probably support...

you may say that this guy cannot be trusted. he was pro—choice in the knesset is supported the abortion limitations in florida and in the afternoon he said he did not and then in the morning it changed his mind. it is not

mr syed was freed in 2022 after spending more than 20 years in prison fighting charges that he killed his ex—girlfriend. he was cleared after prosecutors said he was wrongfully convicted of killing hae min lee in 1999. but last year an appeals court reinstated that conviction, saying the lower court failed to give her brother sufficient notice of the hearing that freed mr syed. the maryland supreme court's ruling means the case will now return to a lower court for a new hearing. mr syed will remain free in the meantime. uk workers' rights to ask for a four—day work may get a boost under government plans to increase flexibility for employees.

the government says any changes won't be imposed on employers. but how do businesses feel about the idea? the bbc�*s emma simpson has more. it is all quiet today on the factory floor of the small packaging form in with them. most of the workers are on a day off because they were four longer days instead of five. office staff do them as well. when you are a busy working mother, they have that extra day within your children are all at school or college or university is fantastic. it is a game changerfor me. irlat a game changer for me. not every employer— a game changer for me. not every employer can - a game changer for me. not every employer can do compressed hours but it works for this one.— for this one. factory work, we don't have _ for this one. factory work, we don't have the _ for this one. factory work, we don't have the ability - for this one. factory work, we don't have the ability to - for this one. factory work, we don't have the ability to work| don't have the ability to work from home so to just be able to get a different working pattern such as a four—day week is just an amazing thing that we have

been able to do and we've been able to prove that this works. employees already have the right to request flexible work including a four—day week. labour want to make this easier as part of a major overhaul of the workers rights. business groups say any changes have to be carefully thought through. if you do something on employment rights package that hits economic growth or makes it harder to recruit people and keep them in theirjobs of this is a real problem. the government has the square that circle and we want to be talking to the government about how they get to do this right without any inadvertent consequences.- without any inadvertent consequences. how to the work-life _ consequences. how to the work- life balance - consequences. how to the work-life balance correct, | work—life balance correct, spotted in ibiza, the deputy prime minister. she is the one making all the moves. she is due back in parliament next week along with other mps when the much sought after details may soon come to light. emma simpson, bbc news.

tributes are pouring in for american hockey star johnny gaudreau after he and his brother matthew were killed after being hit by a car. mr gaudreau played for the colombus bluejackets. he and his younger brother were hit while riding their bikes on a rural road in newjersey. the driver is suspected of driving under the influence. johnny gaudreau was nicknamed johnny hockey, scoring 21r3 goals over his 11—year career with the bluejackets and calgary flames. you are watching bbc news. we will have more at the top of the hour. 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, especially across eastern england, but many spots will avoid the showers and stay dry. 19 to maybe 27 or 28 degrees down towards the south—east. now, through sunday night, we will see further showers and thunderstorms, perhaps most especially across eastern england. but low pressure's swirling in from the west, and that means from monday, there will be a lot of cloud, there will be some outbreaks of rain. some of that rain will be heavy, possibly thundery. it could really be quite misty and murky around some coasts out towards the west, but we will see some spells of sunshine as well. still getting up to around 25 degrees across parts of east anglia, but out towards the west, things will be turning cooler and fresher. and that sets the theme, really, through the middle part of the week — some cooler conditions, some rain at times. it might warm up again, though, for some of us by the end of the week.
