and coming up at half past six we'll have the latest round—up of sport on sportsday. good evening and welcome to bbc news. police in the republic of ireland have named the ten people who were killed by an explosion at a petrol station in a village in county donegal. the victims include a 39—year—old woman and her 13—year—old son, and 50—year—old man and his 5—year—old daughter. police also confirmed that a man in his 20s remains in hospital in a critical condition. seven other people who were injured

in the explosion are still being treated in hospital and remain in a stable condition. our ireland correspondent, chris page has been at the scene. this has been a day when this community has been contemplating the scale of the losses that occurred here in a split second on friday afternoon. as you could see behind me the petrol station where the explosion happened is less busy, they are nowjust two police vehicles there, the ambulances and fire engines have gone as the investigation moves into another phase. but the priority very much has been offering support to the grieving families, counsellors and other health workers have been here to do just that. and the names of those who died made publicjust a few hours ago. the youngest victim was shauna flanagan garwe, who was five. she was killed along with her dad, robert. a mum and her son also died together —

catherine o'donnell and 13—year—old james monaghan. the other teenager who lost her life was leona harper. she was 14, a keen sports fan and a promising rugby player. there were five more victims, jessica gallagher, james o'flaherty, martin mcgill, martina martin and hugh kelly. this village has much mourning ahead. the emergency services operation is over, but the trauma will last for years. we are broken, broken and hurting. churchgoers this morning said the raw reality was hitting hard. in shock. what can you say? it'sjust a tragedy, and there's no words for it. all we can do is pray for the people that have died and theirfamilies, and the people injured. just lucky we weren't caught up in it. that's the way everyone feels.

just lucky that we weren't there at that time. it's thought all of those who died were probably in the garage shop or the flats above. there has been speculation a gas leak caused the explosion. police say they don't know at this stage. there has never been an investigation like this, because donegal has never faced such a sudden tragedy. it is a huge impact to a small rural community. they are all local people, they are all very much involved in the community. they were all people who were shopping in their local shop. the most unexpected and horrific of moments has inflicted immense loss on creeslough. friends, neighbours and families are seeking comfort in each other. ten candles on the church altar are the focus of unspeakable grief for each person gone from here.

when those ten photographs of the victims were released that triggered a fresh wave of sympathy across the island of ireland, so many messages of condolence have been sent here in the leader of the irish government, micheal martin, he visited the scene last night, he said he also appreciated the support he had been offered from the uk. the prime minister liz truss has tweeted that she is shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of life here in donegal. at least 17 people have been killed by russian missile strikes in the middle of the night in the city of zaporizhzhia. president zelensky condemned the attack as absolute evil. russia claimed this afternoon it was targeting a military facility. the latest strikes came hours after the 12 mile long bridge linking russia to occupied crimea was badly damaged by an explosion. our diplomatic correspondent, pauladams, reports from the ukrainian capital, kyiv. in zaporizhzhia, this

is what escalation looks like. a gaping hole, where once there were homes. rescue workers searching for the dead, and the living. moments after the blast, in the middle of the night, stunned, furious reactions. translation: they destroyed a building at night at 2am. - they simply destroyed a multistorey building. translation: we ran out into the street. - when we left the corridor, a neighbour ran out with her eldest son and she screamed that her husband was dead. and the whole wall was torn out, their apartment fell into ours. this was a civilian area, not a military target. volunteers helped to clear the rubble. local officials say scores of people were wounded. this industrial southern city is used to being hit, but its civilian are now bearing the brunt of russia's anger. more than 60 killed in and around

the city in the past nine days. officials say 12 missiles were fired from russian warplanes flying safely over nearby occupied territory. here in kyiv, president zelensky said these were merciless strikes on peaceful people. this, he said, was absolute evil, perpetrated by savages and terrorists. it all came less than 2a hours after yesterday's dramatic attack on a key bridge linking russia with the crimean peninsula. russia said this was the result of a truck bomb. others spoke of an audacious act of ukrainian sabotage. kyiv is keeping mostly quiet. some road traffic has resumed. the physical damage can be repaired, but this was a profound psychological blow to moscow. up above, work on the ravaged railway bridge goes on. russia says freight and passenger services have resumed. this bridge is vital

to moscow's war effort. it cannot afford to lose it. pauladams, bbc news, kyiv. as the war in ukraine grinds on, the uk is continuing to play its part in sending weapons. for the first time since the conflict began in february the ministry of defence has allowed the bbc on board a flight to deliver the armaments as duncan kennedy reports. in the 21st century, power comes in boxes. lots of boxes. this is the first time since the start of the war the media have been allowed to film this huge and sensitive supply operation. the officer in charge says it's about showing the full—scale of the uk's help to ukraine. we stand absolutely united with ukraine in defence of freedom and democracy and a nation's right to be sovereign. it's late afternoon when we leave brize norton. we have not been told

where we are going to protect the safety of the crews who fly these missions. the contents of many of these boxes are a secret, but we are told some are holding brimstone anti—tank missiles. figures released by the ministry of defence show that the uk has now sent 10,000 anti—tank missiles to ukraine, 100,000 artillery rounds and nearly 3 million small arms rounds. for the crews, who we can't name for safety reasons, these trips are exhausting. and you can just continue on doing this, this is an open—ended thing? we're in a position at the moment where we can carry on doing this, treating this as an open—ended task. it's dark when we land. the task of off—loading is fast and efficient. this flight alone is carrying 12 tonnes of weapons.

these missions are so sensitive we can't even say where we've landed or what country we're in. all we can say is that we're somewhere in eastern europe. these weapons will soon be in ukrainian hands on the front line, something the crews say is a fight they also believe in. they should be allowed to run their country and govern their country the way that they want to. if that is being oppressed, it's important in the world that we stand up to that and as part of the uk defence mission, that's what we are tasked to do. cargo down, doors up. it's late in the night when we head back to the uk. britain has now flown more than 100 of these flights. many more will follow. duncan kennedy, bbc news. three former conservative leadership contenders — who lost to liz truss have asked colleagues to rally

round the prime minister and end the disunity affecting the party. it's being seen as a concerted effort to try to end party divisions that have seen labour open up a 30 point lead in some opinion polls. 0ur political correspondent iain watson has telling us more. a senior ally of liz truss was saying to me the fact that former leadership contenders, suella braverman, penny mordaunt, nadim zahawi, were behind these comments showed that liz truss had at very least put a cap on cabinet dissent. she has plenty of non—cabinet dissenters as well and some of them say that this need for a public declaration of support so soon into her premiership, demonstrates not strength, but vulnerability. the message from number ten to these mps is quite simply this, unless they get behind liz truss they risk putting keir starmer in downing street propped up by the snp. nichola sturgeon said in a bbc interview today that she detested the tories, later clarifying that she detested the policies but labour say that they will be no deal

with the snp they believe now that they can be liz truss on their own. in iran, the state—run television channel has been hacked to broadcast a protest against the country's government and supreme leader. viewers saw the usual live programming interrupted without warning the images show ayatollah ali khamenei with a target on his head — along with pictures of women said to have been killed by police — and captions encouraging people tojoin demonstrations. earlier i spoke to kasra naji from the bbc�*s persian service and asked him about that hacking of the state television's news bulletin and what we should make of it. iranian government is quite adept at hacking to, foreign governments, foreign nations and systems. but also hackers who are targeting the iranian government, we have seen this from this particular group,

they have done this before. i remember a few months back, nearly a year back, they hacked into cameras of iran's biggestjail, prison. so they have done it before but this is the most seriously, serious incident and most embarrassing incident for the government because after all, it is state tv. the optics are not good as far as the government is concerned. how are these protests going? how would you describe what is taking place in iran compared to past history? i think this is the most serious challenge to the islamic republic since its inception in 1979. we are talking about 43 years, this is the most serious challenge to

the leaders of the islamic republic. we haven't seen this before because it is so widespread, it is throughout the country and it seems for a lot of those protesters on the street their anger is more than the fear of facing the security forces. the iranian leaders are putting a brave face, hoping that this will pass but i'm not sure it will easily pass. we have to wait and see of course. the demonstrators are very determined, they've had it up to their ears from this government, they want the islamic regime gone. how likely is that? probably, it will be a long, long haul. i was thinking the other day of similarities with what happened in syria

in 2011 onwards. if you remember the struggle of the syrians against assad went on for nine, ten years. and assad finally said, managed to stay in power after all of that and all of the killings, so many cities flattened, so many people killed. but i'm not seeing iran and syria are the same keep it in perspective. it will probably take it while. but obviously, the government shaken to the core. the headlines on bbc news... police in ireland have named the 10 people who died in an explosion at a petrol station in donegal. investigations are ongoing to establish the cause. ukranian officials say 17 people have been killed by a russian missile strike on an apartment block

in the south—eastern city zaporizhzia. cabinet ministers are urging tories to rally behind prime minister liz truss, to avoid risk of defeat at the next election. a 22—year—old woman has died after being struck by a car which mounted the pavement outside a takeaway in shropshire. it happened in the early hours of this morning in in 0swestry in. another person was also seriously injured in the incident and is in hospital. west mercia police have arrested a 28—year—old man on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. there's been a mixed reaction to plans by the government to bring in a lockdown for birds in norfolk, suffolk and parts of essex later this week. from wednesday bird owners will be legally required to house them indoors to try to stop the spread of bird flu. there's been another 4 confirmed outbreaks in the region this weekend.

jenny kirk reports. 300 chickens roam around this farm south of norwich but this year the uk has seen the largest ever outbreak of bird flu with the east particularly badly affected. so from wednesday these gals will have to stay indoors. it was fairly clear from previous years that lockdown, or flockdown as we call it was going to happen. i am not looking forward to it. that chickens hated it last time, because these girls move around so much being stationary for any period of time is completely unnatural to them. so we will have to do a lot of work maintain their high level that they are used to. so what will actually change? well regardless if you have just a couple of hens in your back garden or if you are a commercial poultry producer, as of wednesday you are going to be legally obliged to keep all of your birds indoors. and follow strict bio—security measures.

that means lots of disinfecting and limiting people on—site. and as of yet, defra are unable to say when that lockdown will lift. but for some, it doesn't go far enough. the nfu says "the number one priority for poultry some farmers are the health and welfare of their flock". and it is urging defra to consider expanding regional housing measures on a national basis. wild birds are bringing this in. it is very reductionist thinking that we could just keep locking birds down for months and months at a time, more than half a year and expect their not to be an impact on animal welfare and nutrient density of what we are actually turned to produce. which is fantastic free range eggs. so i would like to know what the long term plan is. we can't keep doing this. experts say the threat of bird flu will increase as more wild birds migrate here for the winter. and while these birds should be safe indoors from that disease, a winter unable to roam will be tough and many other ways.

jenny kirk, bbc look east. hundreds of people held a protest along the beachfront in kent this afternoon against southern water dumping sewage into the sea. they're calling for improved infrastructure and tougher sanctions to prevent water companies polluting the coastline. peter whittlesea reports. it's the latest protests calling on water companies to stop releasing sewage throught the storm overflows. here the campaign has barricaded the beach claiming the area was a crime scene where acts against the environment have been repeatedly committed by southern water. they need to investigate infrastructure,

population is growing here we have new houses built all of the time, climate change means that when it rains it rains really hard. and if they don't upgrade the infrastructure things are only to get a lot worse not better. and we will not put up with them putting sewage in the sea like this forever. a year ago a similar protest was held but campaigners say support is growing because residents believe southern water has failed to act. here we are in 2022 and they haven't found sewage instead of pumping it out into the sea where all of our children and grandchildren in my case are swimming. it isjust appalling and unacceptable. and that is why they are protesting and i packed them 100%. in the statements of the water said it understands the concerns of protesters, storm overflows prevent homes from being flooded and it is leading the industry in producing the liens on permitted storm overflows and discharges. but the local mp said is that is not good enough. it is a terrible - instance in 2017 and i increased every single year in lastl year they increased by 130%, so i'm afraid i don't believe it. but southern water says it has set an ambitious target of significantly reducing storm overflows by 2030.

walking down the street with ease and being able to spot obstacles that might be in the way is something many of us just take for granted. but for blind and partially—sighted people, street furniture like outdoor seating, signs and advertising boards, is making life harder to navigate. nicola rees has been to visit hebden bridge in west yorkshire, where campaigners want to see change. whoops. for kathleen, there's no such thing as a pleasant stroll through town, especially in her hometown of hebden bridge, a place awash with street furniture, like bollards, bins, benches and signs. i've got to use this long white cane here to go along the pavement to find the obstacles. and there are often a lot of obstacles, like tables and chairs, a—boards especially, and they move position, which is even worse because you never know when you're going to find them. but change is on the way. volunteers from the west yorkshire sight loss council are helping business owners to understand the problem. what's that one? so, this one would be...

this takes away any sort of perception of sight, so itjust gives light. these special glasses are known as sim specs. they give everyone the opportunity to experience the town as a blind or partially sighted person. there's a lot of areas where you can't see and, you know, no, i don't feel safe. it takes a bit of getting used to, as we all found out. so, what's really striking, once you've tried these glasses on, is how seeing normally is such a passive thing. you do it without any conscious thought. and then once these are on, it really does take all your concentration to walk a few steps and you suddenly feel really nervous
