why some germans are getting competitive about communing with nature. hello and welcome. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, will be injerusalem later today, to discuss how to de—escalate tensions between israelis and palestinians. on thursday, nine palestinians were killed during an israeli military raid in the west bank, followed on friday, by the killing of seven jewish settlers outside a synagogue in occupied eastjerusalem. israeli forces have now moved in to evict the family of the palestinian gunman who carried out friday's attack. nader hashemi is director of the center for middle east studies at the university

of denver in colorado. thank you for being on the programme. thank you for being on the programme-— thank you for being on the programme. first of all, give us our programme. first of all, give us your reaction _ programme. first of all, give us your reaction to _ programme. first of all, give us your reaction to these - us your reaction to these leaders the tax that we see starting on thursday. we have seen this pattern _ starting on thursday. we have seen this pattern before, - starting on thursday. we have seen this pattern before, the. seen this pattern before, the intensity of the violence is a direct result of this new hawkish israeli government that has openly stated it seeks to expand israeli settlement activity and crush palestinian nationalism to the extent that even waving the palestinian flag can lead to arrest. this fits a pattern that we have seen going back decades. fix, seen going back decades. a pattern going back decades but as you say we have a new government in position, prime minister netanyahu is back in power with far right allies that enabled him to do so and

they had an emergency meeting on sunday to talk about new powers and new measures to put in place. a family will now be evicted. your thoughts on what that means going forward with antony blinken arriving today. it means, i think, and intensification of the conflict because it will send a message to the palestinians that they have no hope for a state, no political aspirations and there is no meaningful peace process. there is this hawkish israeli government seeking to quash any manifestation of palestinian nationalism and so from a palestinian perspective they have their backs against the wall and many of them say we have nothing to lose. so i think this is an indication that the palestinians have never been worse off and they do not have any regional backing and all their arab allies have struck separate deals with israel. states is strongly supported of israeli security and

i think we are headed for dark times and the recent escalation of violence is a sign of things to come. of violence is a sign of things to come-— of violence is a sign of things to come. ,, . ., , ., ,, ., to come. the secretary of state 's visit to come. the secretary of state "s visit was _ to come. the secretary of state 's visit was scheduled _ to come. the secretary of state 's visit was scheduled anyway, i �*s visit was scheduled anyway, this is not a sudden trip because of what has been going on since thursday. what is the best we can hope for in terms of what he may be able to achieve?— of what he may be able to achieve? perhaps trying to convince — achieve? perhaps trying to convince israel _ achieve? perhaps trying to convince israel to - achieve? perhaps trying to convince israel to scale - achieve? perhaps trying to i convince israel to scale back its repression of the palestinians stop for example this attempt to demolish the homes or expel the family members of palestinians who engage in acts of violence is just preposterous. it is an act of collective punishment, most likely a war crime and it will inflame palestinian anger so perhaps talking netanyahu back from those positions might, in the short term, de—escalate some tensions that the underlying root causes remain the same. israel has a state

and security and the palestinians do not have any of those things and they have no hope that the secretary of the state of united states has any interest in starting a meaningful peace process so these are dark times and i think what they hope to do is just crisis management not conflict resolution.- just crisis management not conflict resolution. thank you for our conflict resolution. thank you for your time _ conflict resolution. thank you for your time and _ conflict resolution. thank you for your time and expertise. l it's been reported that a late—night missile attack has hit a residential building in ukraine's second largest city — kharkiv. that's according to local officials who say one person has been killed — others are reported to have been injured but it's not yet clear how many. it follows intense fighting in the key southern city of kherson — which has come underfire once again from russian troops stationed on the opposite banks of the dnipro river. three people have been killed there, and six others injured. local officials say multiple launch rocket

systems, artillery, mortars and tank shells were used. damage was reported to a regional hospital, a school and residential buildings. kherson, in the country's south, was captured by russian forces in the early days of moscow's invasion. it was recaptured by ukraine in november. in his nightly address, president zelensky said the attack had been relentless. translation: the enemy does not count personnel and, _ despite numerous casualties, keeps the intensity of its attacks high. this can only be countered by extraordinary resilience and a complete awareness that our soldiers are defending the whole of ukraine when they defend the donetsk region. now more on that drone attack on the military facility in iran's central isfahan province. this footage filmed and posted online by a local journalist appears to show the explosion.

according to local media, three drones were involved and only minor damage was caused to the roof of the building. our news reporter azadeh moshiri joins us now. she is keeping an eye on the events in iran.— events in iran. the main message _ events in iran. the main message was _ events in iran. the main message was that - events in iran. the main message was that this l events in iran. the main i message was that this was events in iran. the main - message was that this was no big deal and it is business as usual. they have released that footage of the blast and the iranians state forecaster to show that workers will do all working and that any minor damage has not really halted their activity at this facility. they even show debris from jones —— drones, that that technology managed to destroy and the iranians foreign minister said that this was a cowardly act and was not going to stop iran from progressing in its peaceful nuclear programme. fingers have been

pointed towards israel and the pentagon has said it is not responsible and part of the reason why iran and other officials are looking at israel is because there has been a history of attacks between those countries and there was a high—profile attack on a nuclear facility high—profile attack on a nuclearfacility in the high—profile attack on a nuclear facility in the same region as this latest attack and iran, at the time, blamed israel. and of course while we have no evidence of what the reasoning is behind the attack it is clear that it comes at a time of heightened tension. heightened tension in general especially in regards to israel. antony blinken arriving there today so there is a lot going on in the region. in terms of russia and iran, they seem to be getting closer and closer and that is part of the concern on the part of us. in december the us state department said that iran has become russia's top military backer, that this has morphed

into a fully fledged defence partnership and there has been a lot of concern and condemnation around the fact that iran has supplied russia with kamikaze drones that are doing so much damage in ukraine. part of that is why iran has had to deal with certain sanctions, russia as well has had to deal with abrasive sanctions following its invasion of ukraine and they have been banned from swift, a crucial system around the world that allows transactions and money to flow across countries and that is why iran and russia have now announced their own into banking system with 13 other countries to try and bypass. in a new bbc documentary series about vladimir putin's leadership, borisjohnson told the bbc how putin seemed to threaten him when the then prime minister warned against invading ukraine. during a telephone call

in february last year, he says the russian president quipped it would "only take a minute" to hurt him with a missile. here's our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. keith last february, a city on the brink of war. borisjohnson arrived as a show of support for the president who is yet to replace his suit and tie with army fatigues. alongside other countries we are also preparing. a package of sanctions and other measures. the prime minister publicly urges russia not to invade, prompting an astonishing reaction from president putin. i get back from kyiv and the following day... . i got putin on the blower again and this is a very long call, a most extraordinary call. very

way to improve what we want to do to become. in the final match of the fourth round, championship derby county host david moyes's west ham united. the hammers sitjust above the premier league relegation zone while derby are on a 19—game unbeaten run in all competitions. borussia dortmund moved to within three points of bundesliga leaders bayern munich with a 2—0 win at bayer leverkusen as sebastien haller made his first start since undergoing treatment for testicular cancer. jude bellingham picked out julian brandt, who delivered a low cross that haller dummied to allow adeyemi to score the opener. dortmund scored again on the counter attack in the 53rd minute — edmond tapsoba sending the ball into his own net to double the visitors' lead. dortmund move to the fourth in the table, while schalke stay bottom of the table after a goalless draw against cologne. to the nba, where the charlotte hornets were 122—117 winners over the visiting miami heat with terry rozier leading the way with 31 points for charlotte.

this buzzer—beater at the end of the third quarter — one of five rozier landed in the match — saw the hornets take a lead into the final quarter in which they pushed on. lemelo ball with 19 points in the game also helping himself to a three—pointer here as the hornets made it just a third win in their last 13 home games, while the heat continue their four—game road trip in the space of just seven days. a bit of history for japan's reira iwabuchi at the x games in colorado, as she became the first woman to land a triple—underfoot in a women's snowboarding contest — three full rotations before landing perfectly on her feet. the trick helped land her a first x games gold in the big—air event, edging out new zealand's zoi sadowski—synnott. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, tt, and the rest of the team, that's your sports news for now.

the german state of bavaria is one of the most picturesque places on earth. many of the people living there love to commune with nature. but they can sometimes be a little competitive about it, as the bbc�*s tim allman explains. they are a majestic sight. one of the most impressive animals in the wild. but imagine for a moment that you might, for some reason, want to attract the attention of a stag or deer. how would you do that, you may wonder. how about this? imitates grunting stag these are some of the competitors in the annual stag—calling championships, held every year in the city of dortmund. imitates stag noise it's an eclectic mix of groans, grunts and wails, each one designed to be as close to the sound of the animal as possible. translation: you 'ust call during the rut, h

around mid—september some time, and then, the stag—calling actually goes quiet most of the time. and a week before the contest, you practice to see if you can still do it. some attempt stag calling solo... imitates stag grunts ..while others find safety in numbers... all imitate stag groans ..and you can do it almost anywhere. translation: when they're rutting, i have to drive over and call them. i've also called in a zoo once, and the stag answers, and when you hear deer answering from right and left, it makes your heart beat faster. next up for the stag—calling community is the european championships. this is a centuries—old tradition. the call of the wild... stag groaning ..or something near enough. tim allman, bbc news.

we like to accommodate all on this programme. we will have all of the top business news next in a moment. hello. we're looking at a pretty quiet start to the new week weather—wise. there should be a lot of fine weather around this monday and the winds that were pretty keen, particularly to the north of the uk, on sunday will fall considerably lighter. and here's why — this area of high pressure pushing up from the south—west. this area of low pressure that brought the windier conditions on sunday is off towards scandinavia. still a bit of a breeze for the north and west of scotland, still one or two showers feeding in here, could be the odd one coming in off the irish sea coast earlier on in the day as well. but overall, monday, we're dominated by dry weather. there should be a lot of sunshine and temperatures 8—10 degrees. high cloud, though, pushing into northern ireland later on in the day is the first signs of some weather fronts that will sweep into the north—west of the uk late monday into early tuesday.

some wet weather for scotland, briefly for northern ireland. ends the night, that front, across northern england, feeding into wales. clearer skies behind the weather front but quite a lot of showers slamming into northern ireland but particularly western scotland on what will be a very strong westerly wind. and that's because of this low pressure centre here to the north—west of the uk. thats�*s going to mean strong winds right the way across the uk on tuesday but gales for western scotland and to the north of the country, too. frequent showers. wintry across the higher ground. some showers of rain for northern ireland, northern england. largely dry further south, but distinctly windy, yes. temperatures still 11—12 to the south of the uk, but feeling chillier atjust seven degrees there, for example, in aberdeen. and then, through the evening into the early part of the night, as that centre of the low pressure goes through to the north, a real squeeze in the winds across northern scotland. severe gales, possibly damaging winds, widespread gales for scotland, certainly, though to take us into wednesday. but off goes that low towards scandinavia for the middle part of the week and the winds become relatively lighter once again.

it will be a breezy day on wednesday. we'll see our next weather front trying to push in to the north—west, so more cloud as the day plays out for northern ireland, for western scotland, northern england and some outbreaks of rain, but sunshine for southern and eastern areas. another pulse of rain to run through to the north of the uk on thursday. to the south, though, high pressure close by keeping things fine. and then, for the end of the week, it looks like the high will come to dominate and there should be a lot of fine weather across the uk. and in terms of our temperatures, after those big extremes of last week, it looks like we're going to see a fairly average picture across the uk.
