reenacting of the murder. and cold coins discovered in a cave. hello there. thanks for being with us. nine palestinians have been killed in air strikes on gaza. hamas says seven fighters died in the single strike south of the gaza strip. the israelis say it's retaliation for more than 20 rocket attacks launched from gaza into its territory. tensions have become higher since the murder of these three israeli teens. their bodies were found a week ago. they were abducted hitchhiking in the west bank. their funerals were held last tuesday. then this palestinian teenager

abu khdair was kidnapped and his body found wednesday. this triggered clashes. also arab towns north of israel. the prime minister netanyahu has promised to bring to justice the killers of khdair. he says we will not allow extremists to inflame the region and cause bloodshed. then from hamas, it's threatened to retaliate saying israel will pay a tremendous price. james reynolds is in jerusalem and sent this. >> we understand nine palestinian militants have been killed. seven were from hamas. that's the islamic armed movement that rules gaza strip, the piece of land, part of it of course the palestinians want for the future for their palestinian state. two militants from another

group. we understand 14 sites were targeted by the israeli military. it was going after rocket launching sites or warehouses. >> we've been hearing a lot in recent days about the kidnap and murder of three israeli teens and murder of the palestinian teen. these rocket attacks have been going on for a while long per haven't they? this is a wider context? >> of course if you want to widen the focus entirely, you'll see hamas and israel have repeatedly fought battles over recent years. hamas rules gaza and israel is next door. hamas according to the chart does not accept israel's right to exist. israel fires missiles to deter future attacks. peace talks about israel and

palestinian authority broke down in april. there's not be be a peace process to sustain or counter the kind of exchanges we've seen at the moment. >> given that backdrop, israel acting tough against attacks from gaza. on the other hand it's taking very seriously the killing of this palestinian teenager, khdair. >> yes. yesterday israel informed us that six jewish suspects -- we don't know more than that the -- have been arrested in connection with that teenager killed wednesday. we don't have more information about their identity, why they may have done it, about whether they have the right to defend theirselves or so on. the president and prime minister was saying murder is murder. they'll hunt down murders on all sides. there's a political advantage to announcing the rest of the

suspects. they will hope to dampen some of the palestinian protests in recent days. let me bring headlines on other stories making news around the world. security is tightened in baghdad. it's feared the group isis could be planning a bombing campaign. four were killed late sunday on a suicide bomb attack in a cafe. officials from the u.n. say fighting in iraq has killed 2.5 million in the past month and forced them to flee their homes. angela merkel is in china for talks with the president. last year germany bought in more than $90 billion of goods to china. media describing relations between the two as the best ever. merkel has been talking about allegations for the german man working as a double agent for

the u.s. she said it's serious and if true it would constitute a breech of trust. now to nigeria where officials say 63 women who abducted by obama care towards the end of june have escaped to safety. the women were able to flee while their captors were a sleep. the women are not linked to the 200 schoolgirls kidnapped in may. let's go live now to speak to will ross following this story. this is a little bit of good news from the troubles coming out of that north eastern part of nigeria, isn't it? >> it is good news although we can't confirm whether all of the young women who were abducted last month are safely home. we know that some did did manma

escape. they were held in a house in a remote area of borno state. guards from boko haram were a sleep at the time. they managed to get away by jumping over the low fence that surrounded it. the bbc spoke to one of the young women that made it home safely. she said many others also managed to escape. what's not clear is whether they're all back home safely. there are conflicting reports coming out of the northeast. the officials there are not confirming yet that all of the girls are back home safe. it's slightly confused as well because if we go back to last month when reports came out, the nigerian government dismissed it and said no, there have not been new abductions. a very confusing picture. it points to massive insecurity

that plagues these areas and also lack of access. to sum it up, good news some girls have managed to escape. we don't yet know they're all home safe and sound. we cannot be sure that more abductions won't take place. the insecurity is so high in many villages. >> thanks. arn is hearon is here with business headlines. >> i wanted to sing gold finger. hello there. it's yet another financial scandal waiting to happen. a global benchmark set in secrecy by a small group of people. we had the libel scandal, foreign currency market now gold.

all across the globe. in may barclays was fined one one of the staff tried to manipulate the gold priechlts now the gold council holds talks on how to reform the system. we're keeping a look at this today and tomorrow to see what they come up with. as soon as we get anything new, we'll bring it to you. anyone flying from paris to united states expect delays due to security checks. in washington and all other airports with flights to the u.s., they're expected to follow suit. it's a response to specific threats and mounting crisis in syria and northern iraq. searchers are expected to focus on gadgets. phones, computers, anything electronic. who is going to pay for this? business travelers are not worried. for them time is money. we're going to look at the increased cost of this added layer of security. we're going to do that on "gmt"

in over an hour's time. also going to talk about these beauties. look at that. smart watches. they were predicted to be a must have consumer gadget. sales blamed on lack of functionality. they tell a different story. google is looking to change all that with the new operating system android web, power in samsung's offering. it's out in shops today as well as lg's watch. can it turn smart watches to the next big thing? the other question we're asking, what's in it for google? they want more information on us. we're going to focus and have a look at that coming up on "gmt." lots going on. follow me on twitter. get me @bbc aaron. that's it with business. >> thank you very much. now let's bring sad news out

of georgia. world leaders have expressed sorrow over the death of the former president of that country, died at the age of 86 after a long illness. he was a ground breaking former soviet foreign minister and president of the newly independent georgia. he's best known for his role in the final years of is soviet empire and ending the cold war. he was prime minister there. his career ended in humiliation when he was toppled by protestors in 2003. let's speak to the bbc russian service joining me here now. so real ups and downs in his career. how do you think he's going to be best remembered? >> of course he's best remembered in the western do

country. he's more popular in the west than the former soviet union republic. in georgia he was a controversial figure. in the west he's known as the ground breaking minister of the soviet union. the man that helped to bring down the berlin wall. >> in what way? >> he was a foreign minister after the man known as mr. know. this soviet face who run the soviet foreign policy for decades. he was this diplomat which was shocking news for the soviet system. of course for several years in this post of the foreign minister in the soviet union, he started to smile to western

partners. he coined the phrase partner. before that soviet union considered west to be the open end. he was the first that started to trade western diplomats as partners. >> then he was elected president of georgia, the country's second president. started off with high approval rating, 70% of the vote. allegations of corruption soon started to dog him and then he was toppled by a bloodless revolution. >> well it was interesting. as a foreign minister of soviet union, he could enjoy peaceful life in the world. in switzerland and moscow he was famous. he returned to return to georgia, run for president twice and fortunately for him ended up toppled by protestors. he spent his last days very quiet and probably he felt sorry

for his former colleagues. he felt sorry for his relations. that's what happened to him. of course he's very famous politician who changed the law in eastern europe. >> okay. thanks. okay. stay with us here on bbc world news. plenty more to come including this. plans for inquiry into child sex abuse claims covering british public bodies including the government. hard to believe, but dr. scholl's active series insoles reduce shock by 40% and give you immediate pain relief from three sports injuries. amazing! now, i'm a believer.

this is bbc world news. these are the latest headlines. nine palestinians are killed in air strikes on gaza after a wave of rocket fire was aimed at israel. the former president

shevardnadze has died. his assistant said he passed away after a long illness. now in the uk, the home secretary is expected to announce a wide ranging ininquiry into allegations of child sex abuse missed or ignored in the 1980s and 1990s. robin has this report. >> we can't bring you that report. apologies for that. let's go to our correspondent at the home office in london. bring us up to speed on what allegations are supposed to be of. they're pretty sweeping and reach all the way up to public life don't they? >> they could. there have been allegations for some time there was a firing many the uk that had a link to westminster. the police in london have been

investigating that for some time. there were seven detectives work on that. last week we had a focus on this by politicians. there was a question about information that in the 80s it was handed by back bench politicians. the home secretary of the day in britain, there were allegations it hasn't been dealt with properly. in the last hour, they said actually allegations were dealt with correctly. they went to correct authorities and passed on. officials dealt with them correctly. there was a review last year of just how well child abuse allegations were handled by the home office between 1979 and 1999. now the lawyer in uk will investigate how well the review carried out by the home office was actually done. we expect a broad sort of entire ri into how well public bodies

dealt with child abuse with children over some time. details will be this afternoon. >> for our audience around the world, the uk has seen a large number of allegations of sex abuse by people in public positions including on celebrities in the last few years. now this suggestion is that this could go beyond celebrities and right to the top of westminster. i'm looking at reaction from the national association for people abused in childhood. their spokesman has been saying some of these people allegedly involved were at the top of the political tree in the 1980s. if this is true, this is extraordinary. >> extraordinary investigation about the abuse of power. we've seen that time and time again.

the national celebrity in the uk for decades was revealed to be a pedophile and revealed to have got an way with it in hospitals. he seemed to have gotten his way. it's extraordinary. there are independent inquiries of what happened in the institutions. part of it isn't questioned frankly. there needs to be lessons of what's learned and found out about that. allegations that are vague but gray that there could have been a pedophile network that had links to highest levels in westminster in the 80s. there are suggestions that some might use the privilege from being sued by people to name individuals as yet details are sk sketchy. police are working. politicians will order more are carried out. we seem a long way from getting

to the full story just yet. >> the home office in london, thanks very much. now to south africa. the oscar pistorius trial has resumed. the cross-examination of the defense's final witnesses are underway. lawyers for the athlete have condemned the leaking of the video which they commissioned in reports to show mr. pistorius appearing to run on his stumps as he reenacts the night he shot and killed his girlfriend. he claims he mistook her for an intruder. the prosecutor gerrie nel has been asking the doctor for the south african para olympics team about his ability to run. >> did you not see him running with his hand lifting up? >> no, i haven't seen that. >> but whether that's possible

or not? >> i don't suppose why not it would be difficult to balance like that. >> but you don't know if it's possible? >> i certainly didn't ask him to run like this with a hand up. >> now the prosecutor gerrie nel with proceedings in court today, monday. bbc is in pretoria outside the courthouse. he described to me today's events in the courtroom. >> reporter: i've been in court, been listening to how gerrie nel has been trying to steer the professor into the witness bringing up the video. the prosecutor does not want to bring the video as prosecution evidence. he wants the witness to bring it up. that question that we saw there

was trying to drive professor to a point he can say well i saw a video where he could run with hands stretched out. in the video, oscar is seen running with his hand stretched out as if he's holding a gun and screaming. in another part lifting up a female believed to be his sister down the stairs as he carried reeva steenkamp on february 14, 2013. that's the elephant in the room this morning here in pretoria. it's the video that was broadcast in australia over the weekend. now let's give you a sneak peek of ancient treasure. gold and silver coins dating back 2,000 years has been cleaned up and put on display. they were found in a cave bury along side roman coins. >> it's a stunning vista tha

bringsle ma lmillions to the di. we know our ancestors did more than enjoy the scenery. deep inside the cave, archaeologists found coins placed here as a bank deposit. the coins are 2,000 years old. already described as a once in a lifetime find. >> they perhaps would've lived in small villages. how the queen got to this cave is a real mystery. that's what make this is exciting. we can have lots of ideas about why they got here. we're never going to know. >> the coins are thought to have belonged to the tribe, group that lived around near the roman invasion in 43 a.d. each a piece

of art in their own right. these have been discovered before but never like this hidden in a cave. we don't know who put them here or why. it's a puzzle that might never be solveed. the inh coins offer a glimpse into how we lived 2,000 years ago. now that they've been found, they will go far. after a clean, they'll go on display at a museum. >> just imagine if you were the person that found them. what an adventure that would be. a reminder of our top story. nine palestinian militants have been killed in israeli air strikes on gaza after a wave of rocket fire aimed at israel. israel says they'll pay for deaths. the air strikes are retaliation for more than 20 rocket strikes launched from gaza. tensions are higher since the murder of a palestinian teenager

. hello. it's bbc world news. our top stories. nine palestinian militants are killed in air strikes on gaza after a wave of rocket fire was aimed at southern israel. the last soviet union foreign minister who became president of georgia, shevardnadze dies. critics say this violates international law. we speak to relatives of

passengers of the missing malaysian flight mh 370 as an exhibition opens in their memor memory. hello there. thanks for being with us. the top story, nine palestinian militants have been killed in israeli air strikes on gaza after a waive of rocket fire was aimed at southern israel. hamas says seven of fighters died in a single strike near the south of the gaza strip. the israeli military says air strikes are many retaliation for more than 20 rocket attacks launched from gaza into israeli territory. tensions in the region have become higher since the murder of these three israeli teens. their bodies were found a week ago. they were abducted hitchhiking in the west bank.

their funerals were held last tuesday. then, this palestinian teen abu khdair was kidnde napped and kid wednesday. this triggered clashes there. also arab towns in the north of israel. now israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has promised to bring the killers to justice. he says it doesn't mtatter whic side inflamed the region and caused bloodshed. and hamas says israel will pay a tremendous price. james reynolds is in jerusalem and sent this. >> we understand as you said nine palestinian militants have been killed. seven were from hamas, the armed

movement that rules the gaza strip. the palestinian state. two militants were from another group. we understand 14 sites were targeted by the israeli military. the israel military said it was going after rocket launching sites or warehouses. >> give us a context the. we've been hearing in recent days about the kidnap and murder of three israeli teens and murder the palestinian teenager. the rocket attack as t the exchanges have been going on a while longer haven't they? this is a wider context. >> of course. if you want to widen the focus entirely you'll see hamas and israel have repeatedly fought skirmishes and battles over recent years. hamas rules gaza. israel is next door. hamas according to its chart does not accept the right to exist. hamas fires rockets in what it sees as attacks.

essentially part of the context is peace talks between israel and palestinian authority broke down in april. there's not been a peace process to sustain or encounter exchanges we've seen. >> given that backdrop, you've got israel acting very tough against the attacks from gaza. on the other hand it's having to take very seriously the killing of this palestinian teenager khdair. >> yes. yesterday israel informed us six jewish suspects -- we don't know more than that -- have been arrested in connection with the murder of that palestinian teen killed on wednesday. we don't have more information about their identity, why they may have done it, whether they have a right to defend themselves and so on. the prime minister and president was saying yesterday murder is

murder. they'll hunt down murderers on all sides. there's a political advantage to announcing the rest of the suspects. they will hope to try to dampen down the palestinian protests in recent days. now world leaders have been expressing sadness as the death of the former georgian president shevardnadze who died at 86 after a long illness. the ground breaking soviet foreign minister and later president of georgia is best known in the final years of the soviet empire helping topple the berlin wall and end the cold war. he was forced into retirement during georgia's rose revolution of 2003. a short time ago, i spoke to the news editor about the role he played in the soviet union empire. >> he was one of the players of

the party that openly sided and supportive of him and all his efforts. not just the international efforts. he was appointed foreign minister of the soviet union. he shared the vision of a more liberal, more reformed soviet union, more reformed eastern europe. >> is that when the uprisings began in soviet satellite states in europe. he refused them to step in and said no, this is not what we're going to do. >> he wanted to negotiate. he believed divided nations could not be divided for a long period of time. maybe from personal experience in georgia that repression doesn't work. he himself had a history of being in the security services, interior minister at one stage. he did know what soviet repressing was. he didn't want to accept it. therefore he was certainly

represented in a liberal wing. a lot of change that happened in the soviet union and ultimately one can argue the demise of the soviet union was because of that liberal attitude he shared. >> then if you want to call it his prize for being so key a figure, he became president of the newly independent georgia swept in with 70% of the vote. that was eroded. >> that was eroded for a, the collapse of the economy which was evident in all areas. it hit georgia hard. georgia was in a privileged position for many years, a favorite place for holiday makers, for investment. it retain a degree of independence no other southern republic had. it had georgian as the official language, places like ukraine were not a allowed to have in the constitution. there was a certain degree of

autonomy. then the separatist movement started to bite in. some argued russia was kind of playing a role in other places. by the end of nine years his support was small. >> also claims of corruption on his part as well. >> absolutely. he wasn't an ideal president. nobody is ideal. i think something he certainly was remembered for is that he was the key person that basically together with the previous president and in the cold war, and the world living in now is very much because of his efforts to avoid confrontation, avoid bloodshed and find other means. >> remembering shevardnadze who died at 86. let's take you to egypt. the president al-sisi has been talking to a local newspaper about the three journalists who

were county jailed last month. he wishes they had been deported rather than put on trial. the journalists were handed seven year jail terms by the egyptian court. they denied charges of aid aing the muslim brother hood and spreading false news. let's go to cairo and speak to the bbc there for us. tell us a bit more about what the president al-sisi has been saying. >> reporter: yes. yesterday he was in a round table meeting with local newspapers. one of the editors in chief quoted him today saying he regrets the fact the three journalists have been sentenced the to at least seven years in prison. he preferred that they would have been deported rather than prosecuted. al-sisi also said he totally realizes how damaging this case has been to egypt's reputation a broad. he also tried to distance himself from the verdict saying we have nothing to do with it,

referring to the presidency of course. he said he cannot interfere whatsoever in the affairs. in fact this raises questions about the possibility of the presidential pardon being issued to set journalists free. there were some speculations that the president might issue a presidential pardon. according to the law, he cannot do that unless the verdict is final. the journalist can appeal the verdict in front of a i higher court. i followed this case closely and attended most hearings. what i got from the defendant's lawyers, there's no case, no evidence to prove the charges. the three defendants collaborating with the terrorist group, fabricating news, allu alluding public opinion. there was no evidence whatsoever

to prove accusations of the three journalists. >> thanks very much sally. now headlines making news around the the world. first, this from iraq. security has been tightened in baghdad because it's feared the group isis could be planning pay bombing campaign there. four were killed late sunday in a suicide bomb attack in a cafe. officials from the un say fighting has killed 2.5 million and forced a million to flee their homes. france is holding meetings with victims who were sexually abused by a priest. pope francis says dealing with this is vital for the catholic church's credibility. oscar pistorius murder trial has resumed.

lawyers for the south african athlete have condemned the leaking of a video which they commissioned that shows pistorius reenacting eventings the night he shot and killed reeva steenkamp. he claims he mistook her for an intruder. let's take you to pakistan. aid agencies will help thousands of people forced to leave their homes because of military operation against the taliban. speaking to bbc, he says his party's regional government can't deal with what he called this unfolding human tragedy. >> now three quarters of a million people have left their homes since the operation started three weeks ago. most arrived in the town of bannu where hospitals are unable to cope with the huge influx. >> reporter: it's more than three weeks since the pakistani military launched the operation here. here many in the city of bannu,

internally displaced families, lots of children in this particular hospital. we've been looking at children and women who have been coming here for help. there are a lot of cases of gastro cases. these children are unwell, suffering from heat, dehydration. this is a major challenge. what is the problem and what are you going to do about it? >> first the provincial government had no idea. we watched on television the operation had started. we were caught unprepared. then they expected a hundred thousand -- 750,000 have been so far. at moment there's a huge shortage. there's a problem not enough doctors and facilities. >> you've accepted the buck stops at you? >> exactly. everyone is going to blame

provincial government which cannot go. we're going to demand more from the federal go. . we have coordination with the army. >> are you going to ask international charities to come? >> this is going to be a huge human tragedy unless we allow intermartial charities to come in. there are 350,000 children. it's beyond the capacity. we need professionals trained to deal with emergencies like this. >> there you have it. his party governs the province. he has seen with his own eyes the challenge that is unfolding here, humanitarian crisis. he accepts the government doesn't have enough resources to cold. he's looking into calling for international help. just over the boarder in

afghanistan, results expected in the elections. there are accusations of fraud from both camps. the representatives of both main candidates have begun talks to try and resolve this dispute. we'll bring you more as we get it. now stay with us here on bbc world news. still plenty more to come including this. in indonesia, their presidential poll wednesday. hear from the community on their hopes and fears ahead of that election.

hello. this is bbc world news with the latest headlines. nine palestinians are kied eki

gaza. the former georgia president shevardnadze has died. the 86-year-old passed away after a long illness. now let's take you to ukraine. the government says forces have retaken two more eastern cities from pro russian rebels. rebels meanwhile have regrouped in other locations. ukraine feels this is a complete blockade on donetsk and sloviansk. >> the city now the focus of a key battle between government forces and pro russian rebels. on the ground, firefighters battle to put out the flames. it is the people living here paying the price as are their homes, businesses and cars. the ukrainian government say they have reclaimed a string of

cities over the past few days in the fight against pro russian rebels. the most significant is the city of sloviansk which had been held by rebels almost three months. it is important because it had been considered a focal point of the rebel. donetsk is strategically important to both sides. it is under rebel control. that's the way rebels want it to stay. fighters from other parts of the east have travelled to donetsk to reinforce numbers against the ukrainian army who are blockading the city. but the army is facing resistance from large numbers of people who support the rebels. >> translator: i will take up arms tomorrow. better to die on a barricade

than under the ukrainians. >> there lies the central problem in this crisis. retaking territory from the rebels may in the short term prove to be the easy part for the ukrainian army, but more fighting will lead to more bloodshed. that will only deepen divisions and make it more difficult to win over hearts and minds. bbc news. let's bring you a story out of australia. immigration authorities have confirmed they returned more than 40 asylum seekers to the navy in operation at sea. the asylum seekers ship was intercepted off the islands in the indian ocean. the move has been criticized by refugee groups. i spoke to the bbc phil mercer in sydney with more information about that operation. >> we understand this vessel was intercepted by the australians

near the islands half way between the mainland and skri skri lank ka. australia is telling us that a they had their refugee claim assessed and vast majority had the refugee claims rejected. therefore they're on their way back to sri lanka. it has caused a storm with critics say the australian government is not only violating human rights but breeching international law. >> the question must be how can australia assess asylum seekers claims if doing it at sea. >> opponents are scratching

their heads asking the same question. how can you thoroughly, genuinely explore the applications while they're bobbing about on the high sea? the australians are saying those claims were examined by video links. critics don't buy that. they feel this is a quick fix to get rid of a nasty problem as they see it given the government has made it its mission to stop the steady flow of boats coming into northern waters. >> we'll have the latest on that from australia. indonesians go to the polls wednesday to elect their next president. the former general is gaining ground and has strong tie to the regime that ruled the country until 1998. one of the key voting groups is chinese indonesians.

they're a minority and faced discrimination during the dictatorship. >> a vibrant economic center home to much of the city's half a million ethnic chinese minority. here you find chinese books or dictionaries, some religious rituals down the road. you find these in chinatowns around the world. here in indonesia, it doesn't like this. some items used to be banned. some faced much more atrocities. 16 years ago chinese homes and businesses were burned to the ground in deadly riots. they were targeted because of their perceived wealth. his family was one of many that suffered. his oldest daughter's house was set on fire. we recounted the experience with

his youngest daughter and wife. >> about a month after your daughter's house was burned. what does this say? >> they implied the burning of her house was targeted. he needs to remember this time is just his daughter's house but next time could have been his head. >> the the entire family then fled to the united states. a few years ago he and his wife decided to come back. they saw a different indonesia. >> changed into more -- the chinese has the protection. >> he is part of a chinese indonesian dynasty. he warns despite progress, his

community is still vulnerable. >> as long as the society is still very much divided and as long as there is still a lot of poverty and discrepancy many income, that is there still. little bit maybe. could be definitely for now if there is a crisis. >> chinese indonesians can embrace their identity. learning this language was forbidden in the old days. for this community to feel like it really belongs, indonesians need an even hand to make sure history isn't repeated. bbc news. hard to believe but tuesday marks four months since malaysian flight mh 370 went missing with 270 on board. now many families are visiting

kuala lumpur for an exhibition. >> this is the mother of a chinese passenger on mh 370. she tried to reveal a banner in front of reporters. this is a picture of her being dragged out. they were reluctant to speak to media. here at this photo exhibit, there are two families of cabin crew members here. they're starting to feel their stories are slowly being forgotten. >> can which one is your dad? >> every time we look at their photos we feel sad. when i look at it, i feel sad. i always tried to ignore it. >> you told me before one of the ways you tried to cope is call your husband, to try to ask him

where he is. do you still do that? >> yes. my grandson also. he goes and looks on my phone, the photograph of the grandfather. checks on it and waits for the call. starts calling grand pa, grand pa, where are you? >> for them the wait goes on. stay with us here on bbc news. ♪ it elicits pride... ...incites envy... ♪ ...and unleashes wrath. ♪ temptation comes in many heart-pounding forms. but only one letter.
