hello, i'm lauren taylor. palestinian health workers in gaza have started vaccinating some babies against polio, a day before a mass immunisation programme is due to begin. palestinian health workers carried out the vaccinations in nasser hospital in khan younis. unicef says the vaccinations will take place for six and a half hours every day until wednesday. israel and hamas have agreed to three localised pauses in fighting to enable the vaccination of more than 600,000 palestinian children. the parents of the first two children to be vaccinated at the hospital in khan younis both expressed their relief. translation: i was worried and afraid because this is scary, - the polio disease. it makes children not able to move or drink and it's stays with them all their life. this is scary.

translation: as soon as i heard about the start of the polio - vaccination campaign, i came. my son was the first child to get the vaccine. today, there was one shot and another in four weeks. by that time, he will have another full dosage which will prevent him from getting the infection and any disease in the coming years. this is how the polio vaccine will be distributed throughout gaza: the world health organization campaign will be split across the territory's five governates, from north gaza through to rafah in the south. deir al balah and khan younis have the greatest number of children under 10 — more than 200,000 in each region. the who plans on having more than 200 vaccination sites in each of those regions. with more from jerusalem — here's our correspondent, jon donnison. the official polio vaccination campaign doesn't start until sunday morning. it is being coordinated by the united nations but we do

understand that the first babies have been vaccinated today in khan younis in the south of gaza. what it's going to involve and get under way as a series of three—day, area specific pauses in fighting that both israel and hamas have agreed to. the key words there are "area specific", so we not talking about the formal ceasefire that diplomats have been pushing for for weeks and months, we are talking about pauses in fighting in specific areas. so we understand that the first area that they are going to proceed in is deir al balah, in the centre of the gaza strip. presumably, after three days, they will move on to other areas. but we are talking about a lot of children and babies. 640,000, the united nations is saying, so that is going to be quite a

big operation and i think particularly in the north of gaza, it could be challenging. in the north, israel has in effect cut the gaza strip in two and it controls this corridor which cuts across the gaza strip and that could make access to the north a bit more challenging. but, it is a rare bit of positive news on the humanitarian fronts coming out of gaza which has been welcomed by everyone watching this conflict that has now been going on for ten months. the vaccination roll—out is happening while doctors work to treat patients with minimal access to medical resources. an american doctor — mimi syed — has sent us this update on the situation from nasser hospital in southern gaza. hi, this is dr mimi syed. i'm here at nasser hospital in gaza. i have been here since august the 8th providing medical relief to the people of gaza at nasser hospital. the situation here is

pretty unfortunate. we have seen many injuries, including paediatric ones. there is an incredible lack of supplies for medical relief, for the care that we need to provide, which is gauze, disinfectant agents. the hospital is overcrowded with people because of the evacuation orders. many people are just congregating around the hospital and around the hospital there is no space to take care of patients. the number of casualties were seeing every day is astounding. there are penetrating wounds with shrapnel, gunshots, burns, all sorts of injuries that are devastating, and complicating wounds. things are difficult to manage even after intervention.

palestinian families have been leaving jenin refugee camp in the occupied west bank, which was sealed off for four days during a major military assault by israel the uk foreign office says it's "deeply concerned" about israel's methods and "reports of civilian casualties and the destruction of civilian infrastructure." loud explosions and sporadic gunfire have been heard from inside the camp, as israeli drones and helicopters circled overhead. israel says the raids in the occupied west bank — which have killed at least 20 people — are aimed at preventing attacks. in the uk — police have said that two people who were seriously injured in separate attacks during the notting hill carnival have died. cher maximen, who was 32, was with her 3 year—old daughter when she was stabbed — and mussie imnetu, who was visiting from dubai, was found unconscious with a head injury outside a restaurant on monday night. helena wilkinson reports. cher maximen had been enjoying the carnival on sunday with her

three—year—old daughter and family and friends. just before six in the evening, she was stabbed. the 32—year—old was taken to hospital in a critical condition. she died this morning. earlier this week, shaquille sebu, from west london, was charged with attempted murder at westminster magistrates�* court heard that miss maximen had tried to intervene in a fight when she was stabbed in a separate incident. mircea neto, a chef who was visiting london from dubai, was found unconscious with a head injury on monday night near notting hill. these cctv images show him earlier that afternoon before the attack. he has also since died. 0mar wilson, from east london, has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. the metropolitan police said both deaths were now being treated as murder.

news of both cher�*s in moussier�*s tragic deaths is devastating for both families. my thoughts are with them. they will continue to be supported by specialist officers and we ask that their privacy is respected at this time. police are extremely keen to speak to anyone who might have been at this restaurant late on monday night, and who intervened during the attack on mussier. the whole area would have been extremely busy with people who attended carnival today. 0rganisers said they are shocked by the tragic deaths. in a statement, they said we stand together against all violence and condemn these acts, which are against all carnival values and the millions of people who come in celebration of them. if you're proud to be from the west, over 2 million people attended the celebrations over the bank holiday. but on carnival�*s 56th year, police are now investigating two separate murders. helena wilkinson, bbc news.

the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has released a statement. he said his thoughts were with the victims families and friends at what he described as a truly terrible time. he also condemned the violence, saying. "it is heartbreaking that cher maximen and mussie imnetu have died after being attacked in separate incidents. it is shocking, completely unacceptable and a betrayal of the values carnival was founded to celebrate." the bodies of three children and a man have been found at a property in staines in surrey. police were called to an address in bremer road at around 1.15 in the afternoon. investigations are underway to establish what happened — at this stage police believe it to be an isolated incident with no—one else involved. reports from ukraine say at least eight people have been killed and many more hurt in a barrage of russian attacks in the east of the country. ukrainian officials say five men were killed when a house and apartment block were shelled in the city of chasiv yar in donetsk. three people also died

in russian strikes in the kharkiv region. separately, the defence ministry in moscow says its forces have gained control of yet another ukrainian settlement in donetsk region. russia's troops have been making incremental but steady gains in the area, while ukrainian troops have sought to advance in russia's kursk region. brazil has begun blocking elon musk�*s social media platform, x, in a dispute about the spread of disinformation. the ruling was made after the company missed chase a deadline to name a new legal representative there. a supreme courtjudge ordered the "immediate and complete suspension" of x until it complies with all court orders and pays existing fines. x removed its legal representative from brazil, claiming thejudge had threatened her with arrest. elon musk says: �*free speech is the bedrock

of democracy and an unelected pseudo—judge in brazil, is destroying it for political purposes.�* 0ur correspondent leandro pra—zer—ees in brasilia told us how the row over x was being seen by people there. how is this being seen in brazil? the situation here has triggered different reactions and acts started in the very early minutes of saturday and since then, the only way for brazilians to have access to this platform is by using a vpn which is a virtual private network but is very common when you travel a to different places. but what we have seen is that thousands of brazilians have migrated to other social networks in recent days, one of them is blue sky which is one of ex rivals. it is said to have reported an increase of more than 500,000 users just in the last two days. i understand that people have been told that if they do use vpns they could be fined. nearly $9,000 a day, because of the past but also about the history of the dispute between elon musk and thejudge in question.

there is this fine, what is at the heart of this what is going on in brazil is this dispute between the supreme court and elon musk. depending on the political spectrum that the person was, they are going to give you a different understanding on the right, for example to decision heavily criticised right—wing supporters and politicians here in brazil. they have been saying that this ban on x is a threat to free speech and to brazil�*s democracy. it is important to mention that result remains a very polarised country and on the left for example, there has been a supporter for this decision as the judge ordered the ban leads an investigation in brazil and thousands of people whose

generally last year. the most pressing question i think at the moment is how long is this going to last? what options does he have in this situation now? according to the brazil supreme court, most obvious option for elon musk now is just to name a new legal representative. the point is that there is no education so far that he will step back and decide to comply with the supreme court�*s decisions and if he doesn�*t do it, there will be no reason for the court to step back and overall the current decision. anything that happens is likely to remain for the next few days. the us vice president, kamala harris, has accused her republican rival, donald trump, of "disrespecting sacred ground" during his recent visit to arlington national cemetery. in a post on social media, the democratic presidential candidate accused mr trump of carrying out a political

stunt at the military cemetery on monday. mr trump�*s visit was filmed and used on social media for election campaign purposes. the us army has already criticised the trump campaign team. it said one of mr trump�*s staff had pushed an official trying to enforce rules barring political campaigning at the site. china and the philippines have accused each other of deliberately ramming coastguard vessels in a disputed area of the south china sea. it�*s the second such event in two weeks at the sabina shoal. the philippines claim a chinese ship "directly and intentionally rammed" its vessel, while china accuses the philippines of "deliberately" crashing into a chinese ship. the sabina shoal is the latest flashpoint in an ongoing territorial battle between beijing and manila in the south china sea. thousands of demonstrators have been taking part in rallies in the eastern german states of saxony and thuringia on the eve of elections in which the far—right is expected

to poll strongly. in the city of erfurt, in the city of erfurt, protesters denounced protesters denounced the anti—immigrant alternative for germany party, the anti—immigrant alternative for germany party, or afd, as fascists. or afd, as fascists. at an afd rally, one at an afd rally, one of the party leaders, of the party leaders, alice weidel, told supporters alice weidel, told supporters that germany needed controlled that germany needed controlled borders and the expulsion borders and the expulsion of illegal migrants. of illegal migrants. it�*s thought the party it�*s thought the party could emerge as the largest could emerge as the largest in thuringia in sunday�*s vote. in thuringia in sunday�*s vote. the three parties of germany�*s the three parties of germany�*s governing coalition governing coalition are likely to perform poorly. are likely to perform poorly. 0ur correspondentjessica 0ur correspondentjessica parker explains more. parker explains more.

researchers say they believe a drug used to treat obesity and type—2 diabetes could also help people with certain health conditions to live longer. studies on the effectiveness of semaglutide — which is sold under the brand names 0zempic, and wegovy — found that the drug could be used to treat a wide range of illnesses linked to heart failure, arthritis, alzheimer�*s and even cancer. earlier i spoke to mikhail kosiborod, cardiologist at saint luke�*s mid america heart institute, and lead author of several pieces of research on the effects of semaglutide. i asked him, what exactly the new research show. i think we can be very clear about what we know from scientific studies that have been concluded. these medications wore initially developed for the management of diabetes. it has clearly expanded now. we have clear data that these medications reduce the risk of heart conditions such as heart attack

and strokes and potentially reduce the risk of dying from cardiovascular causes. we also know that it helps the debilitating symptoms of heart failure. it now shows that it may reduce the risk of serious heart complications such as having to be hospitalised. we established earlier this year that it is good for people with diabetes. diabetest related kidney disease. it has a wide range of benefits for people with heart and kidney problems. the ageing process is a very complicated issue. one could say that if people with heart or kidney disease can live longer and feel better, in a way, that problem

but he is a good thing. but slowing down the ageing process is a complex scientific concept. why is this drug having such an effect? i think these medications have an effect on multiple organ systems. they affect the blood vessels, the kidney, liver and the brain. they can provide some benefits. it helps people with diabetes and weight loss. it is also going back to the question of the overwhelming effects of obesity as a chronic disease on multiple organ systems. you can really have a multitude of benefits from this medication. should there be some health warnings about who uses it.

medication is not for everybody. it is not uncommon for patients to develop some gastrointestinal problems. most of the time it is usually early. it is not for everyone. here�*s our culture reporter noor nanji.

it�*s the day that many dreamed of. a chance to see 0asis live once more. but hundreds of people have been left feeling frustrated. i would have thought that with today's technology and abilities that they could handle the amount of demand, but clearly they can't. and these, you know, the websites and the apps ju5t cra5h. but it's the lack of information. you're just gue55ing what's happened. fans have also been venting their anger at so—called in demand pricing on ticketmaster, which resulted in a hike to some prices. ticketmaster says it does not set ticket prices. meanwhile, tickets on resale websites were listed at inflated prices. 0asis said those tickets would be cancelled. rachel, from devon, said the only tickets you can buy are the vastly over inflated price ones with no perks. while kate, from huddersfield, said it�*s a nightmare, it�*s stressful and a waste of a saturday morning. here�*s one who got

lucky, though. so there's a big group of us that were all high school friends. ma55ive 0a5i5 fan5. and we're all sat on a what5app chat this morning and they've all got phones out, ipad5 out, laptop5 refreshing like mad. um, and it was actually one of my friends who was on holiday in spain, managed to, uh, manage to get the tickets in the end. you might be struggling to understand why a band from the 90s has sent so many people into a frenzy, but 0asis was always about so much more than just the music. it�*s about the attitude, the swagger, and even the haircuts. # you gotta roll with it. # you gotta take your time. # you gotta say what you say # don't let anybody get in your way. more dates could still be added to the tour. so if you�*ve not been lucky this time, there could be more chances later down the line. noor nanji, bbc news, manchester. stay with us here on bbc news.

ple nty plenty more on our website. hello. according to meteorologists, saturday, 31st of august was the last day of summer. how did we get on? well, across most of the country, we had these lovely sunny skies and it felt quite nice in the sunshine, given light winds. however, across southern areas of england and to a degree the far south of wales, we had a lot of cloud. and talking about cloud, tatest satellite picture shows a complex of thunderstorms forming across west france. low pressure is forming here, and that�*s ultimately going to drag in some increasingly humid airfrom belgium, netherlands, luxembourg, move it into the uk and that will set the scene for some thundery downpours, i think later on sunday and into sunday night. for the time being, though, it�*s relatively

quiet out and about. you could see an odd spit of rain falling from the cloud as it advances across northern areas of england. it will turn a bit cloudy across parts of scotland and northern ireland through the day, but still bright or sunny spells here. the cloud thinning and breaking across england and wales, and as that increasingly humid air gets drawn in, that sets the scene for one or two thunderstorms to pop up into the afternoon. and, to be honest, they could be just about anywhere. i�*m sure most places in england and wales will stay dry, but where those storms happen could bring heavy enough rain to cause some localised surface water flooding. and the same sort of thing goes on through sunday night as well. a few random storms popping up, with outbreaks of rain moving into western areas. 0n into monday�*s forecast, well, we still got that humid air down at the earth�*s surface, but at higher elevations in the atmosphere, the air is starting to cool down, so that makes the air increasingly unstable. in other words, monday you�*re much more likely to see heavy, thundery showers or even some lengthy outbreaks of rain around on monday. some of it could be heavy enough to cause one or two problems.

still humid air around, particularly across the eastern half of england with temperatures up to 26. the fresher air across western portions of the uk. 0n into tuesday, it�*s another rather showery day. again, some of those showers could be quite heavy, maybe thundery and potentially slow moving. so again, one or two issues possible, but it won�*t be raining all day everywhere, of course not, there will be some pleasant spells of sunshine breaking through the clouds at times. temperatures for most 18 to 23, and then later into the week we may well see rain or thundery showers tend to become confined to southern areas of england, with the weather tending to become drier with more sunshine across northern portions of the uk. bye for now.

this is bbc news, the headlines... palestinian health workers in gaza start vaccinating some babies against polio, a day before a mass immunisation programme is due to begin. israel and hamas agree to three localised pauses in fighting to enable the delivery of vaccines. a man and woman die from injuries sustained in separate incidents at the notting hill carnival. the metropolitan police say cher maximen died on saturday morning and swedish national mussie imnetu died on friday. brazil begins implementing a block on elon musk�*s social media platform x in a dispute about the spread of disinformation.

0h, charming! well, we're about to talk about the sort of misery of keir starmer'5 tone and message. let's not start like that! um, yeah, sojo�*sjust given a spoiler away about what this episode is going to be. we thought, why don�*t we look at the return of politics, but we�*ll look at it through the lens of everything that keir starmer has been doing this week. and because we can�*t do anything without a gimmick, we thought we would do it using 0asis song lyrics, and commiserations to anyone this morning who has failed to get oasis tickets. does that include you, paddy, by the way? no, i�*m in the group that i wish we�*d stop talking about oasis tickets after this podcast. 0h, 0k! jo, did you try and get oasis tickets? of course i didn't. i'm just not determined enough. i mean, there are friends of mine who, in a group, like a massive group with their laptops, nine of them. like a call centre. yes, poised. i don't actually know if they were successful or not. i sort of think of you as like 0asis era. it is my era. let's not talk about my age too much.

but, yes, i did like them back in the '905.
