7:01 pm
israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says there will be a strong, swift and accurate response to the attacks injerusalem in recent days. police say a 13—year—old boy was behind a shooting that wounded two people in the east of the city. it comes a day after a palestinian gunman killed seven people near a synagogue. that attack has led to dozens of arrests with the guman being killed at the scene. on thursday, nine palestinians died during an army raid in the west bank town ofjenin. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, reports. another victim of a jerusalem shooting being treated by medics. an israeli father and son were injured in a new attack this morning. the suspect is just 13.
7:02 pm
he's said to be the relative of another teenager shot dead by israeli forces this week. the police are not going to allow terrorist organisations to take advantage of children. we see that they have no shame in using such 13—year—olds to commit their crimes. meanwhile, this was the scene of last night's attack — the deadliest israelis have seen in years. here, a palestinian gunman opened fire after prayers in a packed synagogue at the start of the jewish sabbath. as people rushed to help the injured, one witness said they were shot too. i went out and saw my neighbour running to the scene. he told me to call the police. i told him not to go. he only got married a year ago. i saw him drop down from a bullet. rest in peace. after police shot dead the attacker, israeli politicians were quick to arrive at the scene. the veteran prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, promised new security measures and urged people not to take the law
7:03 pm
into their own hands. some locals were calling out "death to arabs!" already in palestinian towns and cities, there had been sweets and celebrations as news spread that seven israelis had been killed. overnight, israeli police made more than a0 arrests, leading away a line of suspects from the home of the palestinian gunman. later, with security forces still there, the 21—year—old's father said his son wasn't part of any political group and that he didn't know why he acted. he was my son. i was not inside his mind or his thoughts. everyone has a different attitude in this life. but tensions were already running high a day after the deadliest israeli military raid in the occupied west bank in years. nine palestinians, two of them civilians, were killed.
7:04 pm
the israeli armed forces say they were acting on intelligence to prevent islamichhad fighters here carrying out major attacks. in response, palestinian militants fired rockets from the gaza strip. in recent months, amid rising violence, there have been repeated international calls for calm. but now, once again here, there are fears of wider unrest. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. i'm joined now by tzipi hotovely, israel's ambassador to the united kingdom. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. we are hearing that benjamin netanyahu has said that there will be a swift and accurate response. how can that mean anything other than an escalation of the tensions and violence?— and violence? first of all, let us ra for and violence? first of all, let us pray for all _ and violence? first of all, let us pray for all the _ and violence? first of all, let us pray for all the people - and violence? first of all, let us pray for all the people that - and violence? first of all, let us| pray for all the people that were wounded in this barbaric terror
7:05 pm
attack by two palestinian terrorists. one of them is a 13—year—old boy. just before we speak about the israeli response to doctor but do you really believe a 13—year—old child can be regarded as a terrorist rather than someone from a terrorist rather than someone from a community that is different —— desperate for equal rights? this is the child, he has been brainwashed by incitement, brutal incitement thatis by incitement, brutal incitement that is calling him to kill innocent jewish people in the streets. just yesterday, we all mentioned the fact that it was international holocaust memorial day. thosejewish people that went out of the synagogue after praying, they were innocent people, young people, they were killed just for being jewish, so first of all we should condemn this barbaric terrorism before anything else. i
7:06 pm
received the message from the british foreign secretary that said this barbaric attack on the synagogue is something he condemns, and this is how the international community should act at the moment. there has been international condemnation including from quite a few arab states as well. but there is also... ., ., ., , few arab states as well. but there isalso... ., ., ., , ,, is also... condemnation is missing here which — is also... condemnation is missing here which is _ is also... condemnation is missing here which is the _ is also... condemnation is missing here which is the palestinian - here which is the palestinian condemnation, we have seen celebrations in gaza.- condemnation, we have seen celebrations in gaza. they have also been celebrations _ celebrations in gaza. they have also been celebrations about _ celebrations in gaza. they have also been celebrations about arabs - celebrations in gaza. they have also| been celebrations about arabs being killed as well and 30 palestinians killed as well and 30 palestinians killed by israeli forces this year already, and we are not already in february, five under 18. many people who condemn palestinian violence will also condemn israeli violence, surely this is the point at which we need the leadership of both palestinians and israelis to show the kind of leadership that will de—escalate this, not increase it? i
7:07 pm
absolutely do not accept this equation you are trying to make here. there is one side, the israeli side, when you see our soldiers preventing those terror attacks, they are targeting terrorists while they are targeting terrorists while the other side are targeting ilion —— innocent people praying in the synagogue, how can you compare that and make this kind of comparison when used see clearly that israelis are trying to protect their own life of innocent people, and we need to do that because the authority at the moment does not have enough strength to control those terror hubs being created. this attack injenin was to prevent those terror attacks. we would have been today counting our deaths with more terror attacks if our soldiers were not preventing other terror attacks on our
7:08 pm
civilians, it is very clear that israel is trying to protect its people, just like any other government will do, and this is a case of a barbaric attack on innocentjewish people. case of a barbaric attack on innocent jewish people. there have also been palestinian _ innocent jewish people. there have also been palestinian civilians - innocent jewish people. there have also been palestinian civilians whol also been palestinian civilians who have died as well and you are right, any state in the world or nation would want to protect its people, but the eu has said that lethal force must be the last resort. how can you convince the international community that it is always the last resort by the israeli forces? i community that it is always the last resort by the israeli forces?- resort by the israeli forces? i know our prime minister _ resort by the israeli forces? i know our prime minister very _ resort by the israeli forces? i know our prime minister very well, - resort by the israeli forces? i know our prime minister very well, and i resort by the israeli forces? i know i our prime minister very well, and he always tries to de—escalate. under all the years he is leading israel, he always tries to minimise casualties and to make sure that human life will be a top priority, but when we see those horrible
7:09 pm
terror incitements that compare jewish people to nonhuman beings, almost nazi propaganda is happening today in some palestinian schools. the fact they don't accept the idea of the right ofjewish people to live in their own homeland. all those things are the root of terrorism we see on the streets. we are talking about young children, we are talking about young children, we are talking about young children, we are talking about a couple that was just married, a 14—year—old boy was killed in a synagogue, and couple that was married two years ago and went to assist the people that were injured and they were shot. but there are many palestinian children who also died in this violence, and we have been hearing for years, palestinians want equal rights, recognition of international law, they want no more settlements in the occupied territories, how much of a priority will that be for this government, given its make—up? let
7:10 pm
government, given its make-up? let me 'ust government, given its make—up? let me just break this myth about settlements. in 2005 israel removed all settlements from the gaza strip and what we got was control... but there are other places where settlements... so there are other places where settlements. . ._ there are other places where settlements... , , ., settlements... so this myth about settlements- _ settlements... so this myth about settlements. it's _ settlements... so this myth about settlements. it's not _ settlements... so this myth about settlements. it's not a _ settlements... so this myth about settlements. it's not a myth, - settlements... so this myth about settlements. it's not a myth, it i settlements... so this myth about settlements. it's not a myth, it is| settlements. it's not a myth, it is in contravention _ settlements. it's not a myth, it is in contravention of _ settlements. it's not a myth, it is in contravention of international. in contravention of international law. how much will this be addressed, the need for a proper recognition of palestinians' right to live where they are meant to live? i to live where they are meant to live? ~ . to live where they are meant to live? ~' ., , ., , , live? i think the main problem is the fact that _ live? i think the main problem is the fact that palestinians - live? i think the main problem is the fact that palestinians never. the fact that palestinians never recognise the right of thejewish state to exist. recognise the right of the jewish state to exist.— recognise the right of the jewish state to exist. that is at the case for all palestinians. _ state to exist. that is at the case for all palestinians. many - for all palestinians. many governments, _ for all palestinians. many governments, left-wing i for all palestinians. many i governments, left-wing and governments, left—wing and right—wing, tried to get to peace agreement with the palestinians but we always get the same answer, no,
7:11 pm
because we don't recognise the right of the jewish state to exist, because we don't recognise the right of thejewish state to exist, this is the real problem causing terrorism in our region, israel signed a peace agreement in the last two years, more and more arab countries arejoined to two years, more and more arab countries are joined to this but unfortunately palestinians' refusal u nfortu nately palesti nia ns' refusal to unfortunately palestinians' refusal to a cce pt unfortunately palestinians' refusal to accept the idea of the only jewish state in the world that has a right to exist, this is the real barrier to peace.— barrier to peace. there are palestinian _ barrier to peace. there are palestinian voices - barrier to peace. there are palestinian voices who - barrier to peace. there are | palestinian voices who have barrier to peace. there are i palestinian voices who have a different view of that. ambassador, we really appreciate you talking to us. i we really appreciate you talking to us. . ., ,. , we really appreciate you talking to us. . ., , ., we really appreciate you talking to us. i want to say to all my israeli friends, prayers, _ us. i want to say to all my israeli friends, prayers, all— us. i want to say to all my israeli friends, prayers, all the - us. i want to say to all my israeli| friends, prayers, all the people in hospital. friends, prayers, all the people in hosital. . ., friends, prayers, all the people in hosital. . ~ , ., , friends, prayers, all the people in hosital. . ~' , . hospital. thank you very much indeed for “oininu hospital. thank you very much indeed forjoining us- — a teenage boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 15—year—old girl was stabbed to death in northumberland. the incident happened in the town of hexham on friday afternoon. police were called following reports that a teenage boy and girl
7:12 pm
were injured in a suspected assault — both were taken to hospital, but the girl died later that evening. the boy suffered serious, non—life—threatening injuries. detectives have launched a murder investigation. our reporter, peter harris, gave us this update from hexham. the flowers have been building throughout the day. now, sadly, it was announced this morning that the girl has subsequently died. her family, as you would expect, are said to be devastated beyond words. what is really important as we continue — what is really important as we continue to provide that special suaport— continue to provide that special support to make sure they get through— support to make sure they get through the coming days, weeks and months _ through the coming days, weeks and months. , . ., through the coming days, weeks and months. , ., , , months. this could happen here in this normally _
7:13 pm
months. this could happen here in this normally quiet _ months. this could happen here in this normally quiet market - months. this could happen here in this normally quiet market town, i this normally quiet market town, perhaps an illustration that this could happen anywhere, the mayor of the town said this has shocked the whole community, loving community, and knocked everybody here for six. tonight to reiterate a 16—year—old boy is still in custody, held on suspicion of murder. graphic footage has been released of police officers in the us city of memphis beating a black motorist who died three days later. the video dating back to the 7th of january shows 29—year—old tyre nichols being repeatedly kicked, punched and pepper—sprayed as he lay on the ground, calling out for his mother less than 100 yards from her home. five black officers are facing murder charges. a warning — you may find the footage in nada tawfik�*s report distressing. video of the incident is disturbing right from the start. everything about the officers' approach is aggressive in this initial traffic stop. taken aback, tyre nichols is heard protesting his innocence. i didn't do anything!
7:14 pm
turn around! all right, all right, all right, all right. after officers wrestle him to the ground, he seems to comply with their commands. all right, i'm on the ground. lay down! but as this encounter continues, mr nichols breaks away and flees. the next videos capture the moment five black officers charged with his murderfind him, and what follows is extremely graphic. at this point, they surround him and brutalise him. repeatedly, they kick him in the head, strike him with a baton and punch him. in distress, he calls out for his mother. footage from later shows the officers talking to one another and recounting their version of events. tyre nichols was ultimately taken to the hospital in a critical condition and died three days later from his injuries. officials warned about the video's horrific nature in advance, but nothing could prepare people we met in memphis for
7:15 pm
what they would see. as a man of colour, it was extremely hard because it could have been me. i've been pulled over for speeding, you know, five, ten miles over, nothing excessive, but you never know what kind of situation that could turn into. nojustice! no peace! protests have been peaceful, perhaps a result of the family's call for calm and the fact that all five black police officers have been charged in tyre nichols' death. after the video's release, the shelby county sheriff announced two deputies who responded to the scene have also been relieved of duty. president biden said he was outraged and deeply pained by the video and echoed tyre nichols' family's calls for a peaceful protest. what's at stake is, first of all, innocent people's lives, number one. number two, it has a lot to say and do with the image of america.
7:16 pm
it's an image not helped by these videos. the need for police reform is again at the forefront of people's minds. clare drakeford, the wife of wales' first minister, mark drakeford, has died suddenly. a spokesperson for the welsh government said, "the thoughts of everyone in the welsh government are with the family at this time and we ask that their privacy is respected." new zealand's largest city has declared a state of emergency after torrential rain prompted widespread flooding and evacuations. at least three people have died and more than a hundred have been rescued from flooded cars and homes. friday's downpour in auckland damaged houses, stalled traffic and cut power to homes and businesses. the city is said to have received 75% of its usual summer rainfall in just 15 hours. the airline flybe, which operated across 23 mainly uk routes, has ceased trading. passengers due to travel with the company today have been told not to go to the airport. flybe had resumed operations less than a year ago
7:17 pm
after a previous incarnation of the business collapsed. earlier, i wasjoined by our business correspondent, noor nanji, and i began by asking her where flybe could go from here. we have been here before. the last time flybe collapsed was in march 2020, in part due to the pandemic, but since then it has been rescued and flights resumed last year but this morning we have heard it has ceased trading. this might seem more surprising given that air travel demand has rebounded since the height of the pandemic but flybe faced very specific problems including the fact it had a late delivery of 17 aircraft that it was relying on and as well as that it was facing more competition because other airlines had moved into some of its regional routes. clearly, all of this is unwelcome news for passengers who were planning to travel with flybe in the coming days and even today 2,500 passengers
7:18 pm
were expected to fly with the airline and many woke up to e—mails and notifications saying their flights were off. in total we are expecting 75,000 passengers to have had their flights cancelled as a result of all of this. the civil aviation authority said it would provide advice to those affected and passengers have been told to check their travel insurance policies and get in touch with their credit card providers to see if they can get their money back, but it's worth saying, if you are trying to travel in another way, british airways, easyjet and ryanair have all said they are offering special fares to people who have been affected by all of this and lner said that impacted companies could travel for free with them this weekend. so what does this mean for staff? it is a very worrying time for staff, so flybe employed 321 people, mostly at belfast and birmingham
7:19 pm
airports and other sites, the majority of those, 277 people, had been made redundant and the government said its immediate priority is to support those staff have lost theirjobs as well as to help people get back home. a former head of the armed forces in the czech republic, petr pavel, will be the country's next president. with almost all ballots counted in the presidential election, pavel has won 58% of the vote, defeating the former prime minister and billionaire businessman, andrej babis. the new president is a firm supporter of nato, which he served as a general, and the european union. the two men have spoken in the last few hours — first, petr pavel. i would like to thank not only those who voted for me, but those who did not vote for me as well because they made it clear that they respect democracy and they care about what this country will look like. i see values winning this election. values like truth, dignity, respect and humility.
7:20 pm
and i am convinced that these values are shared by the vast majority of us and that they are certainly worth the effort. they will be part of our lives and will return to our politics. i congratulate mr petr pavel on his victory and acknowledge my defeat. i congratulate him on becoming the next president of the czech republic. i would like to wish him to be the president of all the citizens of the czech republic, to perceive their problems and to fight for the interests of the czech republic. i would like to thank our voters very much. we have achieved a fantastic result. nothing ends because we hear the movement and i was the candidate of the movement. we'll always be here for you. what is billed as the uk's first multi—charity store has opened to shoppers. charity supermarket at brent cross shopping centre sells donated clothing supplied by ten uk charities. it comes as second—hand fashion

7:27 pm
