caused severe flooding. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk, on pbs in the us, or around the world. at least seven people are reported to have been shot dead at a synagogue in eastjerusalem, with others injured. the incident happened in the city's neve yaakov neighbourhood at around 8:15pm in the evening local time. israel's ambulance service reported 10 casualties in total, some of them seriously wounded. israel's police department called the incident a "terror attack" and said that the suspected attacker had been "neutralised". we will bring you more later in the

programme with our correspondent in jerusalem. the us city of memphis is anticipating the release of police video of an arrest that led to the death of the black man, tyre nichols. five police officers, who are also black, are facing murder charges. lawyers for the family say the swift dismissal and charging of the police officers involved should be the blueprint for similar cases in the future. his family have called forjustice. our north america correspondent, nada tawfik, reports the death of tyre nichols has prompted americans, yet again, to confront the reality of police brutality and its consequences. this 29—year—old loved skateboarding and was on his way home from a local park when a traffic stop turned into a deadly confrontation. he died three days later from his injuries. chanting: justice for tyre! now, anotherfamily is asking how this keeps happening, despite worldwide outrage and public demands for police reform following the killing of george floyd. i want to say to the five police officers that murdered my son

you also disgrace your families. but, you know what, i'm going to pray for you and your families, because this shouldn't have happened. the five former officers are now facing charges of second—degree murder and other crimes. they were fired last week after an investigation found they were all responsible for mr nicols' death. this is a failing of basic humanity towards another individual. this incident was heinous, reckless, and inhumane. the memphis city council chair says there is a cultural problem in policing, no matter the race of the officers. across this country we have seen time and time again that you have white and/or black officers, but the victim, the common denominator here, are black victims.

the treatment of a white motorist and a black motorist, the outcomes, too often, are different. footage of the incident was captured from several angles, including security cameras on utility poles and police—worn body cameras. soon the public will get a first—hand look at what happened here when videos of the incident are released. and the police chief now says they have no evidence mr nicols was driving recklessly — the alleged reason for this fatal traffic stop. and many other questions remain. why did the officers used excessive force? and why did so much time pass before he was given medical help? memphis and other cities across the united states are now bracing themselves for protests, and officials all the way up to the president, joe biden, urge the public to remain peaceful. nada tawfik, bbc news, memphis, tennessee. let's cross to memphis and get more on this from the memphic city council

vice chair, jb smiley. thank you forjoining us. as our reporter was just saying, a thank you forjoining us. as our reporter wasjust saying, a lot thank you forjoining us. as our reporter was just saying, a lot of people are very concerned about what the reaction will be when people actually see this footage. what are you expecting in memphis tonight? i think we can expect protests. it is my hope that those protests are peaceful. we had a council meeting this past tuesday and we have had a dozen or so community members voicing their concerns. voicing their hurt, voicing their sorrows as we witness or anticipate the witnessing of mr tyre nichols being brutally beaten by members of our law enforcement. we can expect protests, but hopefully they are peaceful. irate protests, but hopefully they are eaceful. ~ ., ~' ., peaceful. we would think it would robabl peaceful. we would think it would probably help _ peaceful. we would think it would probably help that _ peaceful. we would think it would probably help that some - peaceful. we would think it would probably help that some of - peaceful. we would think it would probably help that some of the i probably help that some of the families have been calling for peaceful protest, themselves, haven't they?— peaceful protest, themselves,

officers have to make a direct effort to intervene in every situation when it is going too far but in addition to a culture change we talk about police training, a lot of times we're talking about law enforcement officers training one another but what we don't do, we don't bring the community involved. we do not get the community involved when we deal with police training. i think it has to be a collective effort, unified effort with law enforcement officers and the community so we can get to the point where the public perception of policing and the way the police interact with the community is done interact with the community is done in such a way that each and every person is treated with respect and dignity going forward. what person is treated with respect and dignity going forward.— person is treated with respect and dignity going forward. what do you feel about the _ dignity going forward. what do you feel about the fact _ dignity going forward. what do you feel about the fact that _ dignity going forward. what do you feel about the fact that the - dignity going forward. what do you feel about the fact that the police l feel about the fact that the police officers involved in this case where themselves black? i’m officers involved in this case where themselves black?— officers involved in this case where themselves black? i'm saddened by it, i'm disgusted _ themselves black? i'm saddened by it, i'm disgusted to _ themselves black? i'm saddened by it, i'm disgusted to a _ themselves black? i'm saddened by it, i'm disgusted to a certain - it, i'm disgusted to a certain extent but i don't want it to be lost among the folks that are viewing today or for them to believe

that it viewing today or for them to believe thatitis viewing today or for them to believe that it is any more egregious that the officers were black. i think we are looking at it the wrong way. i think if you look at folks in a black and brown community, it's not seen as black—on—black crime, it's seen as black—on—black crime, it's seen as black—on—black crime, it's seen as a culture of blue versus black people, and blue meaning police officers and then minority communities. i think that's how it needs to be viewed, blue versus black, and i think we had to do everything we can do to address it. that is no longer the case.- that is no longer the case. thank ou for that is no longer the case. thank you for talking — that is no longer the case. thank you for talking to _ that is no longer the case. thank you for talking to us. _ let's get more from israel on that news that has broken in the last hour of an attack on a synagogue in jerusalem. joining us live from jerusalem now, our middle east correspondent, yolande knell. what more can you tell us about this attack? , ., ., what more can you tell us about this attack? , ., , , ., attack? the shooting happened at the start of the jewish _

yet clear, including the numbers that have been killed. reports from israeli medics are that at least five have been killed and several other wounded but media are reporting that numbers are higher, seven or eight killed outside the synagogue. d0 seven or eight killed outside the synagogue-— seven or eight killed outside the s namoue. . ., , ., ., synagogue. do you have any more on the condition — synagogue. do you have any more on the condition of— synagogue. do you have any more on the condition of the _ synagogue. do you have any more on the condition of the people _ synagogue. do you have any more on the condition of the people who - synagogue. do you have any more on the condition of the people who have | the condition of the people who have been injured? we were hearing that some of them may have been seriously injured. some of them may have been seriously in'ured. ~ . , , ., injured. medics were still treating --eole at injured. medics were still treating people at the _ injured. medics were still treating people at the scene _ injured. medics were still treating people at the scene a _ injured. medics were still treating people at the scene a short - injured. medics were still treating people at the scene a short time | injured. medics were still treating i people at the scene a short time ago and they said that the conditions of those who were injured vary from people who had lighter injuries, that were panicked, to those who were in a critical condition. we are waiting for updates on that at the moment. all of this comes a day after an israeli military operation in a refugee camp on the occupied west bank that killed nine palestinians with another man later killed in clashes north of jerusalem, that had led to a lot of concern that they could be further flare—ups and violence. we did see overnight in response several

rockets were fired by palestinian militants in the gaza strip in southern israel, that led israeli warplanes to bomb militant sites. we had a lot of international concern voiced in the last 2a hours about the rising tensions here and what that could mean. thanks very much. our correspondent _ that could mean. thanks very much. our correspondent in _ that could mean. thanks very much. our correspondent in jerusalem - that could mean. thanks very much. our correspondent in jerusalem on l our correspondent in jerusalem on that our correspondent injerusalem on that attack on a synagogue in jerusalem that police are calling a terrorist attack. the uk chancellor has set out his long term plan for boosting the economy. in a speech in london, jeremy hunt ruled out tax cuts, saying that the best tax cut for the public would be to halve inflation. he called for patience, discipline and optimism, and promised help to encourage more people back into work. our economics editor, faisal islam, has all the details. whether it's robots that can sort or waste, bots they can offer human sounding scripts, essays and poems, or even programmable versions of yourself. every aspect of the economy,

even farming and medicine is being transformed thanks to the use of artificial intelligence and the world's most powerful computing. this leading technology in london use to simulate anyone saying anything in almost any accent. and that is a massive opportunity for them in the uk general. it will change how we work. there may be some jobs that are less relevant in ten years' time and there is a saying that ai will not replace yourjob, a person using ai will. after months of firefighting, the chancellor revealed his plans for growth asking for optimism rooted in technology. it is going to transform humanity. it's going to be as big a change as the arrival of google search engines. and arguably, two of the most important ai companies on the planet are british—based comes with a massive opportunity for the uk.

the idea is to use post—brexit freedom to come up within the regulations for these industries. one top tech ceo system or intel is required. we need more deliverable policies to get this right. i does this look like a plan to you? i don't know yet but one can be - hopeful that in the coming months, we will see something concrete coming up. this was the chancellor's vision of a high—tech for the uk economy from the green industry to financial technology and also artificial intelligence but every country in the world is trying to do the same thing and the bread—and—butter issues from the cost of living are never far away from the conversation. you talk about halving inflation but when it was going up, you and your government blamed global factors and now that naturally it is going down because that is statistically what it will do, you want to take the credit. we are not doing that at all. we think it's going to be tough

to bring down inflation because some of the increased inflation will fall out automatically because of the fact that energy prices are not going up any more. but there is a core level of inflation that is much higher higher than historically. can you deliver tax cuts for the economy? it is unlikely that we will have the headroom for any significant tax cuts for the sixth largest economy in the world and we are going through a difficult period and you will always be able to point to things that are going wrong or not going as well as people would like. the government showing it has wasted to do this long—term and short—term challenges remains. joining me now isjonathan portes, professor of economics and public policy at king's college london. hello. what did you make ofjeremy hunt plan for growth. i hello. what did you make ofjeremy hunt plan for growth.— hunt plan for growth. i don't think there was a _ hunt plan for growth. i don't think there was a plan, _ hunt plan for growth. i don't think

there was a plan, as _ hunt plan for growth. i don't think there was a plan, as the _ hunt plan for growth. i don't think there was a plan, as the person i hunt plan for growth. i don't think i there was a plan, as the person you interviewed said. this isn't a plan for growth. there was, at least, a reasonable description of some of the elements of the problem that we face. so why have we had persistently low growth, stagnation, in real wages and productivity, for the last 12 years or so? and, when mr hunt talks about the four es, entrepreneurship, employment, etc, i think most economists would agree that our lack of public and private investment, the defects of our education system, regional disparities and the fact that many parts of the country outside london and south—east are not as economically dynamic as we might hope, there is a part of the problem, but he missed out some big elephants in the room as well. he did not mention austerity which i think it is now a general consensus is one of the factors driving at low

growth as well as a deterioration of public services, which has a knock—on effect on growth, and he didn't mention brexit, which is not the main source of our problems is also having a negative effect. he did say it was going to bring about greater freedoms did say it was going to bring about greaterfreedoms and he did say it was going to bring about greater freedoms and he talked about it being a catalyst for bold choices, brexit. ~ , , �* choices, brexit. well, yes. butl thinkthat _ choices, brexit. well, yes. butl think that is — choices, brexit. well, yes. butl think that is frankly _ choices, brexit. well, yes. butl think that is frankly political - think that is frankly political gaffe. what we know the real effects of brexit are in the... so far, is some damage to our trade performance, some additional pressure on inflation through food prices and so on. you probably saw the reports yesterday that the eurostar only two thirds full because of brexit, the extra tracks because of brexit, the extra tracks because of brexit, that's only a small thing, but it's a very concrete demonstration of the hit to productivity and to business and trade. there is an inevitable

consequence of brexit, it's not a catastrophe, is not the end of the world, but it is doing some damage, and simply ignoring it is in particular helpful.- and simply ignoring it is in particular helpful. you would -robabl particular helpful. you would probably accuse _ particular helpful. you would probably accuse you - particular helpful. you would probably accuse you of - particular helpful. you would probably accuse you of being particular helpful. you would - probably accuse you of being overly negative. let me ask you about inflation, he is talking about having inflation and any analyst as saying that they are exciting inflation to go down anyway and then inflation to go down anyway and then in the interview he said, yes, i'm talking about the core level of inflation. what can the government actually do in order to try and get it down further? i5 actually do in order to try and get it down further?— it down further? is not primarily the responsibility _ it down further? is not primarily the responsibility of— it down further? is not primarily the responsibility of the - it down further? is not primarily - the responsibility of the government to get caught inflation down in the short term. that's the bank of england's response ability and i think core inflation will, indeed, come down, perhaps not as quickly as some might hope that it will come down quite fast over the coming year. there are things you can do over the medium to long term that will make inflation somewhat less of a problem, for example, reforming the way that household energy

markets which clearly have functioned extremely badly during this energy crisis and that's one, not the main reason, but one of the reasons that energy bills have gone up, the fact we have a dysfunctional energy market clearly hasn't helped. similarly, as i said, brexit and the accompanying barriers to trade are putting some upward pressures on food prices and hence inflation. the government code if it reached a sensible accommodation with the european union, comedy is a thing about that. primarily, inflation is going to come down and be on that is the response ability of the bank of england more than the government. thank you very much. people in auckland new zealand are waking up to a flood—damage city after unprecedented rainfall left streets and homes swamped, and forced many to evacuate their homes. at least one person has been found dead in floodwaters and auckland's mayor declared a state of emergency for seven days. it's unclear yetjust how many locals have been displaced from their homes.

many international flights have been cancelled at auckland airport, with more than 2,000 people stranded inside the flooded building at its peak. meteorologists in new zealand say approximately an entire summer's worth of rain fell in just a few hours, and the deluge will continue for another five days. prime minister chris hipkins says the situation in auckland is �*unprecedented'. i'm joined now by tvnz reporter logan church who's been covering this weather event in auckland. thank you for talking to us. it sounds like it happened just so quickly, didn't it. talk us through what happened. the quickly, didn't it. talk us through what happened-— quickly, didn't it. talk us through what happened. quickly, didn't it. talk us through what ha ened. . . what happened. the rain came so hard and so fast yesterday, _ what happened. the rain came so hard and so fast yesterday, just _ what happened. the rain came so hard and so fast yesterday, just to - what happened. the rain came so hard and so fast yesterday, just to give - and so fast yesterday, just to give you a bit of an idea, in the middle of the afternoon, we heard rain, and thatis of the afternoon, we heard rain, and that is not uncommon for our biggest city, but about four p m, 5pm yesterday, that rain came

torrential. within minutes, flooding streets, some of the areas we saw were up to my neck in flood waters. there are incredible pictures of residents having to swim through these flood waters to leave their homes or, quite bravely, swim back through them to rescue residents who were unable to leave on their own. you mentioned the auckland airport earlier, that is still essentially unusable at this stage. flights aren't going in and out at the moment, they are hoping to change that later on today weather permitting. damage right across the international terminal in particular with floodwaters. roads and streets right across auckland became rivers very quickly last night, or lakes. we saw countless cars submerged, some floating down what were only rows ago busy motorways. a big job

for emergency services, clean—up crews, and auckland residents and. do we have any idea of the numbers of people that have been displaced? we don't know in thatjust because of how big this weather event has been. we know emergency evacuation have been set up right across the city, more have been stood up as we speak. sadly, the police have confirmed at least two deaths on auckland's north shore, that information coming into our newsroom only a few minutes ago. one person was found by a member of the public neara was found by a member of the public near a convert whilst another was found in a flooded car park. police say they are also searching for another missing person. search and rescue and police haven't been able to get everywhere yet, there are still submerged cars and houses that were flooded that haven't been reached by emergency services so it's really too early to tell just

of the problems that were going on, the hyperinflation, it led to the camps. it was 78 years ago today at the auschwitz—birkenau nazi death camp in southern poland, soviet red army troops liberated the thousands of surviving prisoners. this anniversary became the day when the 6 millionjewish men, women and children murdered in the holocaust are commemorated. but it's also meant to be a moment to remember notjust the other groups killed by the nazis, but those murdered in genocides elsewhere, too. unusually, at auschwitz itself today, no russians were invited to the commemoration. far away, vladimir putin was using the day to repeat claims ethnic russians are being cleansed from ukraine by neo—nazis. but the director of the auschwitz museum likened russia's aggression

in ukraine to the horrors of the holocaust. that was my number, given in auschwitz... lily ebert still bears her prisoner number, and she worries about the possibility that dark days could return. i hope, for the sake of humanity, that humanity can survive where nothing like that happens again, to anybody. aleem maqbool, bbc news. don't forget there is plenty more on the website on all of our stories. you can also contact me on twitter. thanks for watching.

hello. lots of settled weather to see out the week. that's how we'll start the weekend. settled conditions not as widespread by sunday, as we'll see in a moment. it's not wall—to—wall blue sky, even though most places are dry. just a few spots getting to see some occasional sunshine today. that will be the story as well for saturday, depending, really, on where you are in relation to this weatherfront, which is now bringing some outbreaks of rain through scotland and into the night into northern ireland, reaching the far north of england later in the night, though it is tending to weaken all the while. now, skies behind that clear in scotland. you may get a few pockets of frost, but it's not as cold or as frosty as it was last night. ahead of the weather front, although there are some areas of cloud, there'll be clear spells, too, and any prolonged clear weather will allow frost to form, which will be more

widespread across england. and some rural spots in southern england could get down to —it, maybe —5. a few fog patches to begin the day. now, for much of wales and england, it's a story of a lot of cloud again, a few sunny spells here and there, but we've still got that weather front moving out of northern england, into more of wales and the midlands, delivering a bit of patchy drizzle here and there, whereas northern counties of northern england brighten up. and for northern ireland and scotland, here, it's the case of quite a bit of sunny spells around, just the odd shower in northern scotland, and not much difference in that temperature from north to south across the uk. now, as we go into sunday, that weather front clears away. southern areas, again, hardly any rain left on that. another area of low pressure approaches close to scotland, and this one is more vigorous in nature and the winds will pick up as well. now, breezier across the board. northern scotland, though, with gales, and we may well see some gusts in the northern isles in excess of 60 miles an hour, with an area of rain moving south through scotland, northern ireland. increasing cloud, northern and western england and wales. may produce some drizzle. brighter skies, east anglia and the southeast, and temperatures

up on sunday by a couple of degrees, more places just getting into double figures. this weather front, another one that weakens, moving south overnight sunday night. following on in scotland overnight, sunday night, there will be wintry showers, more snow to come in the hills. and then by tuesday, there's another low pressure system moving in, and this one may well produce even stronger winds in northern scotland with a risk of disruption out of those. that's one to watch. it is northern areas most likely to have the windiest and occasionally wet weather in the weekend. the further south you are, though not completely dry, it'll stay reasonably settled and mild.

this is bbc news, the headlines. seven people are reported to have been killed at a synogogue injerusalem. israel's ambulance service says that ten more people have been wounded. israeli police have described the shooting as a terror attack. lawyers for the family of tyre nichols — the black man who died after he was stopped for an alleged traffic violation they say the swiftest missing should be the blueprint for similar cases in the future. here in the uk the chancellorjeremy hunt has set out his plan to economic growth prior to stabilising the economy. people in auckland, new zealand's largest city, have had to evacuate their homes as heavy rains caused major flooding in some parts of the city. auckland's mayor declared a state of emergency on friday, as rising floodwaters left streets and homes swamped.
