we are determined to get a square deal for our people and that is exactly what we will achieve, and the public seem to be right behind us in that campaign. tribal warriors in south africa proclaim a new king of the zulus after a year—long family feud. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. security forces are still fighting islamist militants who took over a hotel in the somali capital modagishu more than 2a hours ago. at least 20 people are said to have been killed. sporadic gunfire and loud

explosions could be heard into saturday afternoon at the hayat hotel, but details remain difficult to verify. a security official says al—shabab militants are still holed up with hostages. anxious relatives gathered outside the hotel, which witnesses say has been partly destroyed. the hotel is popular with politicians and government officials, some of whom are said to be still trapped inside. bbc monitoring's beverly 0chieng has been following the story from nairobi. the sonna news agency said security forces have secured 95% of the premises and there is caution around state media reporting, as well as public reporting, on the number of casualties, which is expected to increase, because of the uncertainty of whether the security forces have been able to secure venue and ensure that militants who were said to be holed up in the venue have been flushed out.

there has also been no statement from al—shabab so far. there have been victim portraits that have been shared online, many who were said to be business or at the hayat hotel. others who are members, who are visiting family members in mogadishu. it is not clear if government officials were caught in the crossfire violence but these details will continue emerging, especially if the police do give an update pretty soon. and this is the first attack of its kind, i believe, since the new president took office in may. what do we think was al—shabab�*s motive for this attack? well, al—shabab had a very brief statement when it claimed the attack yesterday evening. they talked about targeting government and security officials. in many instances, al—shabab is opposing the government, they did issue a stern statement when the president took office injune this year. they have also been opposing any government forces or any security forces in many of their strongholds, so this could be a statement against the government. and just recently, the government appointed an ex al—shabab spokesperson into the cabinet

as the religious minister. it didn't issue an overt statement against this but it is part of its own propaganda and strategy against the government that is incoming and to show that it is possibly weak. how strong is al—shabab�*s presence in somalia at the moment, would you say? well, al—shabab maintains a lot of presence in the south and in the central regions. they have strong there and recently they were showing off a hospital that they launched. they have public campaigns, so it is notjust about the military strength because they do continuously recruit, it is also about their ideological entrenchment and local populations in the central and southern regions. the fact that somali forces are still receiving support from international forces, whether it is the mission or even turkish and us forces who are making a return, al—shabab has been able to entrench itself because of its ideological reach but also because of lack of government presence in vast parts of central and southern somalia,

and the fact that it does collect revenue from mogadishu, which allows it to sustain its operations, purchase weapons, buy out militants and maintain its strongholds. air defence systems have again been in operation in the crimean city of sevastapol after several nights of ukrainian drone attacks. the russian—appointed governor urged people to remain calm. the occupied city is the home of russia's black sea naval fleet. on saturday morning a drone flew as far as naval headquarters, when it was shot down and fell on to the roof in flames. 0ur correspondent in keev — james waterhouse — 0ur correspondent in kyiv, james waterhouse, sent this report.

it is what and where this is which makes this smoke significant. another apparent strike in russian occupied crimea. over the last 11 days, there have been a series of explosions on mostly military targets. out of all of the ukrainian territory which moscow has taken, crimea is where its grip has been strongest. but that grasp appears to be weakening. translation: russian's commanders aren't saying what happened, - but it is either a failure of russia's air defences or of russia's intelligence services. regardless of who is causing these explosions, for ukraine, the result is the same. it is the weakening of russia's position in the south, because we confirm that crimea is ukraine. further north in kyiv, preparations for independence day. captured or destroyed russian tanks are big tourist attractions here. now they are on the move. to here, the main street in kyiv, ukraine wants to tell the world it will continue to fight.

it has not acknowledged any responsibility for these strikes in crimea but what they do is reinforce the government's message that it will defend itself. the continued supply of weapons from the west is helping ukraine do that. another us package worth £655 million will be welcomed. there has been some diplomatic progress with the occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. ukraine claims the russians are using it as a military base. after international pressure, the kremlin has agreed to give inspectors access. the details of how will be crucial. james waterhouse, bbc news, in kyiv. a short time ago, james sent us this update on whether ukraine is now getting the sort of weapons it needs from the west. it depends what the ukrainians want to do. they want to repel russia fully. i think to this point, it is clear that this help from the west is allowing the country to hold

the defensive line. we need to look at the questions which are raised by what we have seen in crimea over the past 11 days. what has happened to the air defence that russians installed along the peninsula? what exactly caused these blasts that we have seen? were they saboteurs, were they long—range missile strikes, which the west has helped ukraine with, or were they drone strikes indeed, as reported today? there are a lot of unknowns, but it is clear that western weaponry is helping, but ukraine will always bang the drum for more. nevertheless, what we have seen in crimea challenges two myths, i think. firstly, that it is an impregnable base for russia to stage its naval fleet, as well as aircrafts to launch attacks on ukraine, but it also challenges the myth that crimea is part of russia. meanwhile, the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, has said a visit by international inspectors could help restore the safety of the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, held by russian troops.

it comes after vladimir putin said moscow might grant the un access to the facility, which is north of crimea. the kremlin and kyiv have blamed each other for shelling the plant over the past week, raising fears of a nuclear catastrophe. let's get more on the ongoing situation there. i'm joined now by david albright, who's president of the washington—based think—tank the institute for science and international security, and a former international nuclear inspector. thank you very much forjoining us. so, what will they all be looking for if they do go in, if these inspectors, and you think they will actually get us flash access? there is still a lot — actually get us flash access? there is still a lot of— actually get us flash access? there is still a lot of latex _ actually get us flash access? there is still a lot of latex to _ actually get us flash access? there is still a lot of latex to get - actually get us flash access? there is still a lot of latex to get the - is still a lot of latex to get the international respect and they rector plant. but if they do get in,

clearly the first priority will be to survey and see if the reactors are operating safely, if the nuclear waste that is being stored safely. they will also want to make sure the security of —— is ok, you have to worry whether somebody will steal your military. and finally you do want to make sure that the safeguards are in place, that the plants plutonium and feel has not been diverted. and so i think there are several things they can do but the principal thing that the aia is going to focus on is the safety of the reactors which the director—general of the ia has raised as a serious issue on many, many occasions. raised as a serious issue on many, many occasione— many occasions. given the facility is currently _ many occasions. given the facility is currently under _ many occasions. given the facility is currently under russian - many occasions. given the facility | is currently under russian control, that raises the question, how free will they actually be to investigate?— will they actually be to investiaate? ~ . ., , , investigate? well, it certainly is an issue and — investigate? well, it certainly is an issue and the _ investigate? well, it certainly is an issue and the ia _ investigate? well, it certainly is an issue and the ia is _ investigate? well, it certainly is an issue and the ia is going - investigate? well, it certainly is an issue and the ia is going to l investigate? well, it certainly is - an issue and the ia is going to have to make sure that it has a free rein

to make sure that it has a free rein to tear the site or to basically say that this is a sham and that russia is blocking any meaningful ability to survey the site. these kind of things have to be worked out in advance and it is going to be difficult from where the inspectors come, from the ukrainian control side, orfrom the russian control side. 0bviously, putin was to come —— want them to come in from the russian control side but the ukrainian leadership doesn't want that to happen because they fair it will legitimise russian's occupation of the site. , , ., will legitimise russian's occupation of the site. ,, ., will legitimise russian's occupation of the site. ,, . ., of the site. russia has intimated he was to switch _ of the site. russia has intimated he was to switch the _ of the site. russia has intimated he was to switch the supply _ of the site. russia has intimated he was to switch the supply of - of the site. russia has intimated he was to switch the supply of power l was to switch the supply of power from that plant to crimea, how potentially difficult and dangerous would that be? it is potentially difficult and dangerous would that be?— potentially difficult and dangerous would that be? it is doable, and it will take some _ would that be? it is doable, and it will take some time, _ would that be? it is doable, and it will take some time, it _ would that be? it is doable, and it will take some time, it would - will take some time, it would deprive ukrainians of a vital electricity source that is going to become increasingly needed as the winter approaches.

become increasingly needed as the winterapproaches. it become increasingly needed as the winter approaches. it is blatantly a theft if it does take place, and it has been one of the concerns since the beginning, that russia will try to recover some of its losses in this war by stealing ukrainian resources and the power from electricity from their plant is a valuable resource.— electricity from their plant is a valuable resource. given the recent warninus valuable resource. given the recent warnings of — valuable resource. given the recent warnings of chernobyl _ valuable resource. given the recent warnings of chernobyl style - warnings of chernobyl style disaster, even having inspectors go in doesn't alleviate fears about the plant's feature, does it? ida. in doesn't alleviate fears about the plant's feature, does it?— in doesn't alleviate fears about the plant's feature, does it? no, not at all. the plant's feature, does it? no, not at all- the most _ plant's feature, does it? no, not at all. the most pressing _ plant's feature, does it? no, not at all. the most pressing worry - plant's feature, does it? no, not at all. the most pressing worry is - plant's feature, does it? no, not atj all. the most pressing worry is that military strikes, they are hitting the plant and those could cause a major accident if vital cooling systems or electric power systems or emergency systems were disabled. you certainly worry, at least to a certainly worry, at least to a certain extent, about damage to the

containment vessels, so you do have to worry that with military actions, the plant could undergo a major nuclear accident, they could be major releases. so, one of the first priorities, even more important than the ia visit, is to get the site free of military strikes and to create, if not a dilemma —— if not a demilitarised zone, at least a ceasefire where everybody agrees that this plant should not be attacked. ukrainians are raising the issue that russia is doing this deliberately, a false flag operation, and i have no ability to judge that but e suddenly, from their point of view, worried that russia could deliberately trigger an accident. russia is incredibly murderous in this war and russia, in a sense, could treat the reactors as a sense, could treat the reactors as a radiological weapon that could contaminate parts of ukraine and make them uninhabitable. indie

contaminate parts of ukraine and make them uninhabitable. we must leave it there, _ make them uninhabitable. we must leave it there, thank _ make them uninhabitable. we must leave it there, thank you _ make them uninhabitable. we must leave it there, thank you for - leave it there, thank you for joining us. here in britain, football fans and festivalgoers have been among those facing another round of travel disruption, on the sixth day of national rail strikes this summer. this map shows that only around one in five services was running, after 16,000 rail workers walked out again in their dispute over pay and conditions. the rmt union has warned that more industrial action is �*very likely�*. helena wilkinson reports. a now familiar sight for rail passengers across the country. half empty stations, weekend plans and services severely disrupted. so we have had to leave early from home due to the strike action. obviously, it is going to take a lot of time to get to the stadium and also we are worried about what time we will get back and what time the trains are running to. obviously, like, i'm only quite young as well so, like,

without me getting back to liverpool, like, i'm kind of just stranded. so it's not really, like, the best for anyone trying to get back to somewhere that out of london. should have gone back yesterday but there was no way— we could travel yesterday. but there does seem to be a train that we have got a ticket - on so we will be going back to crewe, hopefully. - more than 16,000 rail workers are taking part in today's action. it is the sixth one—day strike this summer. reading station is normally one of the busiest rail hubs in the country. today, some services have been operating but they have been limited. it has been a similar picture across the rail network, which has 20% of trains running today. the unions are still in dispute with the government and rail companies. they say salaries should increase to reflect the rising cost of living. the rmt union, whose members are on strike, has accused the government

of blocking train companies from offering its workers a better deal, and insist that the majority of the public are behind them. we are seeing public support for this dispute entrenching. you know, there are campaigns and rallies being launched right across the company, right across the country, rather, in support of these type of activities. we have seen unite bus workers coming into the dispute. we have seen many groups of workers winning significant pay deals. i think the british public are fed up with being ripped off by this government. but as travellers in york struggled to get to the races, ministers say it is the union causing the block, adding that if the deals on offer were put to workers, they would be likely to accept them. negotiations are expected to resume early next week, but the rmt has warned that more strikes are very likely. helena wilkinson, bbc news, reading.

the headlines on bbc news... security forces are still fighting islamist militants who took over a hotel in the somali capital modagishu. at least 20 people have been killed. sevastopol, the home of russia's black sea fleet in crimea, comes under drone attack — again. the russian—appointed governor urges people to remain calm. arsenal have moved to the top of the premier league. a 3—nil win at bournemouth maintained their 100 percent start to the season.

arsenal's new captain martin 0degaard scored twice in the first 15 minutes. william saliba scoring his first goal in english football. they were really demanding and aggressive, we imposed ourselves in the game, we were really efficient in pole position, we were really efficient in the box and we scored the two goals and that gave us a lot of confidence to go through the game. tottenham were top of the table for a couple of hours — beating wolves in the early kick—off harry kane with the only goal, a close range header — that was his 250th goal for spurs. defeat for wolves leaves them with just one point from their first three games. it's a solid start for spurs but there is still lots of room for improvement. in the first half, they created some

problems for us, not big chances to score but i think they were more dangerous than us. in the second half, ithink dangerous than us. in the second half, i think that we dominated the second half, we had chances to score many goals, but to play against them is not easy. in the other matches, everton's demarai grey equalised late on against nottingham forest for their first point of the season. 0llie watkins put aston villa ahead early at selhurst park but crystal palace fought back to win 3—1, wilifred za ha scoring twice. it was a fantastic game at craven cottage where brentford suffered their first defeat of the season away at fulham. aleksandar mitrovic with a last minute goal. southampton came from behind to win 2—1 at leicester. che adams with both the saints goals. in scotland, rangers dropped points for the first time this season as they had two men sent off and conceded an injury time equaliser at hibs. curtis main scored twice as st mirren won 3—0 at dundee united. there were also wins for motherwell, ross county and aberdeen.

that's all the sport for now. 0nto boxing, and the wait is nearly over. britain's anthonyjoshua is about to take on ukraine's 0leksandr usyk in a heavyweight world title rematch in the next hour. joshua goes into the fight in saudi arabia as the underdog with the bookies — having been easily beaten on points last time out. usyk�*s wba, wbo and ibf titles are on the line injeddah. let's discuss this with professional boxer, james moorcroft who will be watching the match tonight. thank you very much forjoining us. there is a lot at stake of course for both of these boxes but particularly for 0leksandr usyk, i

think he had to get permission from the president to come off the front line and take part in this battle. i feel it is absolutely inspirational. he is having a rematch withjoshua, i think it will be a fantastic fight all around for all world boxing fans. he has got ukraine on his shoulders tonight and i am sure he will put a fantastic performance in out there. �* ., , �* , out there. and for his british opponent — out there. and for his british opponent who _ out there. and for his british opponent who was _ out there. and for his british opponent who was defeated | out there. and for his british i opponent who was defeated the out there. and for his british - opponent who was defeated the last time around, everything as well all to fight for tonight.— to fight for tonight. certainly. i do think anthony _ to fight for tonight. certainly. i do think anthony joshua - to fight for tonight. certainly. i do think anthony joshua is - to fight for tonight. certainly. i i do think anthony joshua is going to fight for tonight. certainly. i - do think anthony joshua is going to do think anthonyjoshua is going to be a different boxer out there tonight, ifeel he has got be a different boxer out there tonight, i feel he has got to change his tactics around because usyk is a tricky, awkward opponent who is coming in with the situation in ukraine, at the moment he will feel like he has got it all on his shoulders. as a british boxer myself, i am shoulders. as a british boxer myself, iam packing my shoulders. as a british boxer myself, i am packing my man, anthony joshua, i hope he goes out there and

does the business for britain, but i think he's a very tough act, again. 0leksandr usyk is a phenomenal boxer, somebody i look up to, i have followed him all his career. may the best man went tonight. it will be a superb spectacle. the best man went tonight. it will be a superb spectacle.— superb spectacle. the venue is somewhat _ superb spectacle. the venue is somewhat controversial, - superb spectacle. the venue is somewhat controversial, given j superb spectacle. the venue is - somewhat controversial, given the concerns about human rights and saudi arabia, but it is throwing a lot of money at these two men. 100%. as a lot of money at these two men. 10096. as a boxer myself, _ lot of money at these two men. 10096. as a boxer myself, bring _ lot of money at these two men. 10096. as a boxer myself, bring money - lot of money at these two men. 10096. as a boxer myself, bring money into i as a boxer myself, bring money into the game, it is absolutely phenomenal, but luckily for us, we can watch the fights from, i think it is 10:30pm. the university bolton stadium, built in football ground, i hope my friend, bobby falconer who is fighting tonight, get the business done, and i can get back and watch the fight over and saudi

with me now is berza simsek from the bbc�*s turkish service. what more do we know about these two incidents? how unusual is this apparent coincidence? road accidents in turkey are not unusual but what is unusual is that two such big accidents happening in one day and having so many casualties. and, also, the way those accidents happened are quite similar. in the first accident, basically, there was an accident and a coach, and rescue workers rushed to the scene, and a coach 200 metres away from the accident site overturned, slept and then hit the rescue workers, killing health officials, firefighters and unfortunately too generous as well.

so, in the second accent in mardin, a similarthing so, in the second accent in mardin, a similar thing happened. so, in the second accent in mardin, a similarthing happened. a so, in the second accent in mardin, a similar thing happened. a trader truck was involved in an accident with two cars and rescue workers rushed to the scene and also people rushed to the scene and also people rushed to the scene and also people rushed to the scene to help but then another track, whose brakes failed also entered the crowd, basically. that is how these two accidents happen. that is how these two accidents ha en. . ~' ,, that is how these two accidents hauen. . ~' , that is how these two accidents hauen. . ~ , . ., happen. thank you very much for “oininr us happen. thank you very much for joining us on _ happen. thank you very much for joining us on bbc— happen. thank you very much for joining us on bbc news. - tribal warriors in south africa have proclaimed the new king of the zulus. there were jubilant scenes, with dancing and clan elders paying tribute to the new king.

the ceremony was held despite challenges by some members of the royalfamily, who argue that he is not the rightful heir. the �*zulu nation�* is south africa�*s largest ethnic group with more than 12 million people. we�*ll take a look at tomorrow�*s front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are the broadcaster and psychotherapist, lucy beresford — and joe twyman, who�*s director of the polling organisation deltapoll. now it�*s time for a look at the weather. the weather is looking a little mixed tomorrow for many of us, it is going to be generally dry with clear spells and just a few showers here and there, and showers are likely to continue across parts of scotland, although

the winds will tend to ease. it has been a very blustery day here. perhaps a few showers elsewhere but on the whole, as i say, for most of us, it�*s a dry night. temperatures first thing around 10 degrees in aberdeen, 1a in liverpool and about that in london, as well. so, here�*s the forecast for sunday, then. it starts off quite sunny in many parts of the uk. lighter winds there in scotland, still a few showers but it will cloud over later in the afternoon. perhaps a little bit of rain there in northern and mid wales perhaps reaching the north—west later on in the day. highs up to about 25 degrees.
