this is bbc news. the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world... the palestinian militant group, islamichhad, says it has now agreed to a ceasefire with israel following three days of fighting. be vice president votes in the affirmative and the bill, as amended, is past. cheering and applause the us senate has just passed joe biden�*s climate plan, channelling billions toward ambitious clean energy goals. four more ships set off from ukraine as part of the grain deal to try to ease the food supply crisis around the world. china says it's extending military exercises into the yellow sea near korea, after days of drills around taiwan. and righting a historical wrong — a london museum says it will hand over looted artefacts to the nigerian government.

the palestinian militant group, islamichhad, says it has agreed to a ceasefire with israel to end three days of fighting, which began on friday. the truce — brokered by egypt — is expected to come in to force shortly. israel said several hours ago that it had agreed to the ceasefire, but there has since been a further wave of violence. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, sent this report. a crush of grief for islamichhad's most powerful commander in gaza. "revenge," the mourners shout. and soon it came, the armed group firing barrages of rockets at israeli cities. the death of the veteran

militant is a serious blow to the jihadist group. he was killed here with seven others in intense israeli bombing. "it was horrifying. "they targeted the house with five or six rockets," says this man, who lives nearby. "there were bodies on the ground." and today, the violence also reached jerusalem, as israeli nationalists visited its most disputed holy site for a jewish holiday. israel's air defence system could be seen intercepting two palestinian rockets over the city, leaving trails of white smoke. israeli officials say they launched their military operation to prevent attacks by islamichhad on israeli civilians, that they had precise, detailed intelligence of its plans. but for now, civilian life is on hold in southern israel, the streets largely empty as air raid sirens leave residents hiding in bomb shelters.

outside, nobody�*s hurt, but some rockets hit. and in gaza, too. we can't independently verify these pictures, but israel says they show a palestinian missile misfiring with deadly consequences. there was no israeli activity in the gaza strip in that area or at that time. islamichhad is killing palestinian children in gaza. after three days of fighting, we may now be heading for a ceasefire brokered by egypt, but people here know that a truce is always temporary. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. let's speak to yoseph haddad. he's ceo of the ngo together — vouch for each other, which describes itself as "independent." he is in nazareth. thanks forjoining us. what do you make of this announcement, that there is going to be a ceasefire in about half an hour's time? yes.

now, we have to keep in mind two things. one, that they actually launched those rockets from the civilian populated area. and second, not only that they launched these rockets from their own civilian population area, but they also launched it towards innocent israeli citizens. ., ., ., ., launched it towards innocent israeli citizens. ., ., ., ., citizens. hold on for a second. you know that — citizens. hold on for a second. you know that the _ citizens. hold on for a second. you know that the palestinian - citizens. hold on for a second. you know that the palestinian town - know that the palestinian town apartment block when it was hit, that there were civilians that were caught up in that, that the target was islamichhad, as israel says, but you know that there are other people in that area who have been affected, people who have been killed and wounded in the area. i mean, israel has won the most sophisticated armies in the world and yet it is bombing a single individual is bombing a whole apartment block and they are all affected by this.— affected by this. well, i am very ha - to affected by this. well, i am very happy to hear— affected by this. well, i am very happy to hear this _ affected by this. well, i am very happy to hear this question - affected by this. well, i am very happy to hear this question for l affected by this. well, i am very i happy to hear this question for the only reason is that when it comes to dealing with terrorism, we seek,

time after time, how israel and the i bf are talking to the people in palestine, requesting them to evacuate the building is. what we are seeing right now is something that isn't seen by any other army in the world. we call the people in gaza, we tell them, evacuate the building is, we're going to strike those buildings. no army in the world does that. we have seen this in russia and in ukraine by the russian army, we have seen it by any other army in the world... so russian army, we have seen it by any other army in the world. . ._ other army in the world... so why are peeple _ other army in the world... so why are people still _ other army in the world... so why are people still dying, _ other army in the world... so why are people still dying, why - other army in the world... so why are people still dying, why are - are people still dying, why are people still being caught up in this? why is there still be collateral damage, as people describe it?— collateral damage, as people describe it? , ., ., , describe it? because unfortunately, the islamichhad _ describe it? because unfortunately, the islamichhad are _ describe it? because unfortunately, the islamichhad are using - describe it? because unfortunately, the islamichhad are using those - the islamichhad are using those people as shields. they are the ones who put the rockets into the civilian areas. they are the ones who are endangering the life of innocent people. israel must protect its own. israel must protect its

citizens, the arabs and thejews here. israel as well and they are the ones actually trying as much as possible not to harm innocent lives, while the islamicjihad and hamas doing exactly the opposite. think about it, in what common sense would you put rockets in a civil area? ! who does that? ! why do that? ! you know that if you launch a rocket from that area, you will get straight back and you will put your own people in danger? this is quite unbelievable and you know what, it is not even mejust unbelievable and you know what, it is not even me just saying that. i have so many friends in gaza, who have so many friends in gaza, who have called me and told me about the destruction and i was surprised because they are talking about the destruction from the actual missiles from the islamichhad! share destruction from the actual missiles from the islamichhad!_ from the islamichhad! are you claimin: from the islamichhad! are you claiming that— from the islamichhad! are you claiming that all— from the islamichhad! are you claiming that all of— from the islamichhad! are you claiming that all of these - from the islamichhad! are you claiming that all of these 43 i from the islamichhad! are you - claiming that all of these 43 people who have been killed in this latest violence, are you saying that is the responsibility of the islamichhad? know, most of the people who are killed by israel are terrorists. but

unfortunately of course, and i pray for every innocent life, but during a war there are casualties, but israel is actually responsible for the minimum, especially in this operation. but do know what is fascinating to see? the fact is that the world media are not talking about how actually the islamic jihad is committing a double war crime, one for targeting innocent people in israel and second for actually targeting their own people. everybody is silent about that is not even talking about it in a bit of actually israel who were responsible you would see absolutely everything in every headline around the world, by the way, for instance, al jazeera, despite the fact that they are journalists from gaza, jazeera, despite the fact that they arejournalists from gaza, who specifically said that there are rockets that fell down from the islamichhad in the... we rockets that fell down from the islamichhad in the. . ._

energy security and is the boldest climate package in us history. the senate has now passed the most significant bill to fight the climate crisis ever. it is going to make a difference to my grandkids. he world will be a better place for my grandchildren because of what we did today and that makes me feel very, very good. very, very good. we're joined by our north america correspondent, peter bowes, in los angeles. this is quite a significant moment, isn't it? , , , ., , isn't it? yes, this is a huge bill, of course _ isn't it? yes, this is a huge bill, of course not — isn't it? yes, this is a huge bill, of course not quite _ isn't it? yes, this is a huge bill, of course not quite as _ isn't it? yes, this is a huge bill, of course not quite as big, - isn't it? yes, this is a huge bill, of course not quite as big, not i isn't it? yes, this is a huge bill, - of course not quite as big, not even close as big as the billjoe biden had envisaged when he campaigned to become president, the build back better plan, which exceeded more than $2 trillion. this is about 430 billion, still cute, a big chunk of that, about 370 billion for climate change initiatives. digging down

into the detail, that means there will be tax incentives, rebates to encourage and make it easier for people to get solar panels on the roofs of their homes, to get into electric cars, they will be money to refurbish homes in underprivileged parts of america to make them more energy efficient. a great raft of measures that it is hoped will reduce this country's co2 emissions quite significantly by the year 2030. it is about more than just climate change as well, this is about closing the disparities in health care in the united states. there will be money to make prescription drugs more affordable and new rules to make prescription drugs more affordable for older americans and for those businesses making more than $1 billion a year there are new tax rules that mean they will have to pay more. and the republicans had claimed this would undermine economic republicans had claimed this would undermine economi— republicans had claimed this would undermine economic growth, hadn't the ? undermine economic growth, hadn't they? yes. — undermine economic growth, hadn't they? yes. and _ undermine economic growth, hadn't they? yes, and that _ undermine economic growth, hadn't they? yes, and that is _ undermine economic growth, hadn't they? yes, and that is a _ undermine economic growth, hadn't they? yes, and that is a matter- undermine economic growth, hadn't they? yes, and that is a matter of. they? yes, and that is a matter of debate, they? yes, and that is a matter of debate. as — they? yes, and that is a matter of debate. as to _ they? yes, and that is a matter of debate, as to exactly _

100,000 people are expected to attend the swearing in ceremony, which is due this hour. four more ships carrying grain and sunflower oil have left ports in ukraine, after the deal to restart its exports and try to ease shortages and higherfood prices in countries that have depended on them. the ships left odesa and chornomorsk, and will travel through the safe maritime corridor to turkey, where they'll be inspected. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse, has this report. they continue to move. four isn't many, but these ships still have a corridor they continue to move. to travel through. eight vessels have now made it out in this landmark grain deal, carrying a quarter of a million tonnes. they're all inspected at istanbul in turkey, before heading on to their final destinations. the most fragile of agreements is holding. ukraine wants its grain to keep flowing out. 20 million tonnes have been stuck since the start of this invasion. 17.5 million more has just been collected. and the sunflower harvest

is about to begin. after everything its economy has been through, ukraine needs this deal to work, which is why it's looking to build confidence by telling shipping companies that there's money to be made here, by showing insurance firms that the level of risk is acceptable. but it also has to build some kind of trust with russia, despite continuing to fight for its very existence. it's hoped this agreement will last for four months. it could be extended. this is still the one patch of common ground in the most hostile of landscapes. james waterhouse, bbc news, in kyiv. several mortar shells struck residential neighbourhoods near the presidential palace in somalia's capital mogadishu. the attack comes after parliament met to approve the country's recently appointed cabinet. prime minister hamza abdi barre's 75 member cabinet includes a former al—shabaab deputy leader. the islamist militant group frequently targets government

officials and has recently stepped up its attacks. let's look at some of the day's other news. the us secretary of state has arrived in south africa at the start of a three—nation african tour aimed at countering russia's efforts to boost its influence. south africa has remained neutral in the ukraine war, refusing to join western calls to condemn moscow. after pretoria, antony blinken will visit the democratic republic of congo and rwanda. police in thailand have arrested the owner of a nightclub where15 people died in a fire that broke out early on thursday. at least 30 others were injured in the blaze in chonburi province. the police said the owner turned himself in — he's expected to face charges, including causing death through recklessness. a london museum says it will return ownership of artefacts that were looted in the 19th century to nigeria. the horniman museum said 72 objects which were forcibly removed from the kingdom of benin during a british military incursion

in 1897 would be handed over to the nigerian government. sanchia berg explained more. well, the nigerian government asked for the return of these artefacts, which have been kept since 1897 in the collection of frederick horniman, the tea trader who turned his collection and house into a museum in southeast london. the nigerian government made the request for the return of these artefacts, artefacts of bronzes and ivory and brass. back injanuary, the museum held an independent inquiry and that inquiry together with the consultation led the board to conclude unanimously that these bronzes should be handed back. so that has been very warmly welcomed by the nigerian government. and it is interesting because what it means it's the largest collection of benin bronzes... others are going to be handed back, some are already. there have been announcements

made by oxford and cambridge, but the very largest collection of bronzes is of course at the british museum, which holds over 900 of these artefacts, which were looted from the city of benin in 1897. museums around the world have some of these artefacts as well and they have all agreed to transfer ownership. it is not clear whether the government in nigeria wants to actually move them to nigeria immediately or whether it would take some time. while other museums around the world have offered to return ownership of these artefacts to nigeria, the british museum has not been able to do so because an act of parliament of 1963 forbids them from handing back the artefacts they hold. sancho burke affair, let's get all the sports news now from mark. hello. new season, same problems it seems for manchester united, after they were beaten 2—1 at home by brighton and hove albion.

united's new manager, erik ten hagg, has admitted that he has a huge task ahead, even saying it'll be a hell of a job to fix things. his side were booed off after pascal gross scored two first half goals, to hand brighton their first ever win at old trafford. i'm aware of it before and it doesn't change this game. it's a hell of a job and we have to work hard, we have to analyse and learn the lessons and then we have to move forward. new signing erling haaland had the perfect start to his manchester city career. he scored twice as the defending champions comfortably won 2—0 at west ham. the norwegian striker delivering exactly what his manager pep guardiola wanted, following his summer signing from borussia dortmund. all the... the top scorers like alan shearer, gary lineker, for example, they were born scoring goals and they were born scoring goals and they will die scoring goals. these guys, you cannot teach them to score goals, the numbers are there. i have that feeling with this guy. he is an

incredible threat in the box. we need time to know each other. there are balls we still don't give him that we can give him, but is is a question of time. he has started really well. elsewhere in the premier league on sunday, brentford came from behind to earn an impressive point at leicester city. josh dasilva with the equaliser four minutes from time. scotland's laura muir is finally a commonwealth champion after winning the 1500m final. she missed the 2018 gold coast games to complete her veterinary exams and finished 11th at glasgow 2014. following her fabulous gold, she was asked for a message to her younger self after those previous disappointments. your time will come. you know, it is rotten at the time, but you learn from it and you come back stronger. it sounds cheesy, but you do and this has meant a lot to me running here because missing gold coast as well, eight years the commonwealth games has been bugging me, so it is

so nice to come here and notjust get one, but two, and in such competitive fields. these girls are fast, so yes, it means a lot. but it was diappointment for scotland's eilish mccolgan, who couldn't follow up on her dramatic 10,000m win. she took the silver medal in the women's 5,000m it is just amazing, i can't thank everyone enough for their support, it has been wild and... that is what drove me today because i was so tired, physically and mentally. but i was surprised myself, i literally lead out 400, 800 metres of that race, so to still come and get a silver medal, i cannot ask for any more. northern ireland are enjoying their best ever commonwealth games, including seven gold medals. it was helped by an incredible day in the boxing ring where they won five times. dylan eagleson ecstatic with his victory over ghana's abraham mensah to win bantamweight gold. i just wanted that gold medal so bad. the last few months have been hard work, so it's good to get the gold. just moments ago, ashley has won the

women's open at mirfield. do head over to our bbc sport website and for the latest on the golf. that's all the sport for now. thanks, mark. 50 years ago this week, nearly 30,000 ugandan asians arrived in britain — forced out of their own country by dictator idi amin. many settled in greater manchester and lancashire — among them, the raja family from bolton — who've built a business empire. abbiejones has been to meet them. whole families had arrived with little cash. the few belongings they brought often seemed nothing more than sentimental value. they'd left their homes, cars, businesses, pets — their whole lives behind in uganda with little warning. £50, yeah, and allthe clothes and everything. that was all you had? i left behind all of my money, all the things. nila raja now sits in the superstore and sari fashion shop her family has built from scratch in bolton. but in 1972, she arrived

at heathrow with almost nothing and three kids in tow. her brother had bought a house over here, realising trouble was coming. one or two of ourfamily, friends had lost their lives, so there was no other option but to leave. they have been milking the economy of the country. president idi amin gave ugandan asians 90 days to leave, saying he was giving uganda back to ethnic ugandans and they were britain's responsibility. for nila's children, who were all under six, it was a culture shock. my grandad was the manager of a beer factory, we had a big house, we had servants, we had everything. my uncle greeted us at the airport with the old 1970s duffel coats, three of them, we were freezing, it was cold. when we then came to bolton, we cried for six months because of the cold.

couldn't handle it. we had to live like the english, you know. english clothes, haircut short, i remember having bay city roller socks, the ladies at the nursery said, tell your niece to watch top of the pops and coronation street, and she will soon pick up english. and did that work? before i knew english, i could sing any abba song ever. families like the rajas were dispersed across britain and the reception from local people was sometimes as unwelcoming as the weather. but that wasn't the case in bolton. bolton was a beautiful place. people around helped me set up what we are today. and the local community was the most helpful. 50 years ago the rajas started with a corner shop, which became the uk's first ever asian department store. they now also own a computer business, accountancy firm and nursing homes.

how do you feel now about your mum, your uncle, came here with nothing, and what they have achieved here? heroes. both of them heroes. not all superheroes have capes. really proud. getting emotional? yeah, yeah, yeah. abbiejones, bbc news, bolton. just a bit of breaking news to give you. gustavo petro has been sworn in as columbia's first ever left—wing president. thousands of people have turned out to watch the swearing—in ceremony. and finally, some pictures of the dogs making a splash at this year's world dog surfing championships. the annual event being held in california sees owners help their furry friends to catch some waves and wow spectators and judges. dogs are judged on multiple factors, including the length of the ride, technique, confidence, and size of the wave. so now you know!

you can reach me on twitter — i'm @lucyegrey. thanks for watching. more people are going to be heading to the beach over the weekend to cool down a bit, it will be heating up cool down a bit, it will be heating up over the week ahead, still no sign of any rain, wet rain falling over the north—west corner of scotland once again and otherwise it will stay fine and dry. overnight tonight clear skies across many parts of the country, a weather front approaching the final west of scotland by the end of the night, head of that temperature is falling away to around 11 or 12 degrees. somewhat warmer nights to come over the weekend. this is how we start the weekend. this is how we start the week, though, with some rain again for the highlands and islands, but again it is going to be dry for

cloud... nothing more than fairweather cloud, lots of sunshine around, the winds will be light. we may find some cooling sea breezes around coastal areas, but inland, temperatures continuing to climb, close to 30 celsius perhaps in the afternoon in london. and those temperatures will continue to rise through the week ahead — particularly across england and wales, where we'll find heatwave conditions developing. by friday, temperatures could be reaching 36 celsius across southern parts of england. it's been a story of the summer — high pressure keeping it fine and dry. those temperatures rising underneath the area of high pressure. occasionally, we've got weather fronts bringing some rain to the northwest of scotland, but even on tuesday, those should get pushed away. so we've got more sunshine across scotland, it'll be a sunny day in northern ireland, and across england and wales. and again, with light winds, it'll feel very warm or hot — could be reaching close to 30 celsius this time in birmingham and cardiff, in the mid—20s in eastern scotland. so it's warming up, it's heating up — even across scotland and northern ireland, temperatures will be lifting to the mid—20s, perhaps a little bit higher than that. but it'll always be across england

and wales that we see the highest temperatures, and many places getting above 30 celsius, i think, by wednesday and thursday. and by the end of the week, we still have high pressure sitting over the uk, keeping it dry. noticeable change in the south, perhaps, a stronger breeze, more isobars on the chart. that breeze, though, is coming in from the near continent, and it's bringing in all the heat still. so a dry day, lots of strong, hot sunshine on friday — and hot, as well, temperatures 26 celsius in the central belt of scotland. we're looking at the low—30s across many parts of england and wales.
