an attempted murder investigation is underway; police say their primary focus is on dissident republicans. mr caldwell is in a critical but stable condition after the incident at a sports complex in 0magh in county tyrone. he was shot several times in front of young people he had been coaching. sinn fein described the attack as "outrageous and shameful". the democratic unionist party has called for those responsible to be brought tojustice. we'll have the latest from the scene in just a moment but first our correspondent emma vardy has the story. the shooting happened in front of young players, training at a football coaching session. it's thought the off—duty officer was shot multiple times at around 8 o'clock in the evening. local political leaders have condemned the attack, calling it despicable and cowardly. i'm totally devastated and in shock and without words as to why or how this has happened in 0magh or any part of our community on this island. there are no words for

the details that i'm hearing. the impact it has already had and will have when other details emerge. the officer is known to be a senior detective, but police haven't said anything official about a potential motive for the shooting. he's being treated at altnagelvin hospital in londonderry. irish police have increased patrols in neighbouring counties after reports the gunman may have fled across the border after the attack. there's continued to be a security threat against police officers in northern ireland since the end of the troubles 25 years ago. but attacks are now much rarer. the secretary of state for northern ireland, chris heaton—harris, said his immediate thoughts were with the officer and his family. emma vardy, bbc news. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page is at the scene in 0magh. what is at the scene in 0magh. more details have you le about what more details have you learned about this? me what more details have you learned about this? ~ ., ., , ., about this? me more details that emerue about this? me more details that emerge about — about this? me more details that emerge about this _ about this? me more details that emerge about this attack, - about this? me more details that emerge about this attack, really | about this? me more details that. emerge about this attack, really the more chilling picture we hear about

detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell, the officer who was shot, a senior detective who has a public profile here in northern ireland. has led investigations into organised crime, drugs gangs for example, and into the dissident republican groups who are opposed to the peace process, and we are told he had been coaching football at the sports complex last night, putting footballs into his car with his young son and two gunmen approached and opened fire. the detective ran a short distance, fell on the ground, and the gunman continued to shoot him. he was taken to hospital in londonderry, his condition is described as critical but stable. here at the sports complex now, forensic officers have been getting suited up, ready to carry out more searches in that car park over there, which is where the shooting happened. investigations of that nature will continue throughout the

morning, throughout the day, while the area is still cordoned off including several sports pitches. the police have also said more about who they believe was by the attack, and at this early stage, though they are keeping an open mind, they are focusing their inquiries on the dissident republican paramilitary group known as the new ira, thought to be the largest, best armed and most active of the dissident republican paramilitary groups, these organisations are opposed to these organisations are opposed to the peace process, continue to target members of the security forces for, as they would see it, and political reasons. the threat to police officers is still very real, is opposite the events of the last 24 is opposite the events of the last 2a hours have shown. attacks on the police have become relatively rare in recent years, though police have always been clear they still believe

these groups had the desire to murder police officers, and this attack last night i certainly was an attempt to do just that. the last police officer who was killed by dissident republicans in this part of the uk was killed in this town of 0magh by a booby trap bomb underneath his car back in 2011. there has been no such serious attack on a police officer since then. condemnation from right across then. condemnation from right across the political spectrum, from the tee shock and from rishi sunak.- shock and from rishi sunak. people will be looking _ shock and from rishi sunak. people will be looking at _ shock and from rishi sunak. people will be looking at the _ shock and from rishi sunak. people will be looking at the wider - will be looking at the wider situation, coming up to the anniversary of good friday, lots of talk about the northern ireland protocol in recent days, but on the human level, do we know how all the children were that the officer had been coaching or the age of his son who witnessed this? in

members of the public have been stopping at the scene here this morning have been saying their thoughts, their prayers are very much with mr caldwell and his family as he continues to be treated in hospital in londonderry. a new independent regulator of men's football in england is to be established for the first time. it will aim to give fans more involvement, make clubs more financially sustainable and ensure money from the premier league filters down to lower divisions. 0ur sports editor, dan roan, reports. # bury till i die...# bury�*s expulsion from the football league in 2019 left a community in shock. its collapse amid financial crisis, a stain on the english game. three and a half years on, bury afc, a team set up by fans to give them something to support, competes here in the northwest counties league, the ninth tier of the english game at a ground they have to rent. and the government says

the mismanagement that led to the club's downfall shows why the sport now needs an independent regulator. bury has become the poster boy of footballing failure in some respects, and we're all tired of it. we want to move on, but we also want to make sure that other clubs don't suffer the same fate. look around. everybody in this ground today has suffered from what happened in the past. we think an independent regulator is particularly crucial because it's the only thing that's really got teeth. as recommended by a fan—led review, the regulator will issue new annual licences to clubs that depend on a sound business plan take over a strengthened owners and directors test to guard against unscrupulous owners and give supporters a greater say in the running of clubs. as outlined in a white paper, the regulator will also have powers to block clubs from joining breakaway competitions, like the european super league. # we want our team back. for many, the plight of bury shows exactly why english football is now in need of a major overhaul.

but they're far from the only club that have suffered a financial crisis in recent years. derby county were on the brink of liquidation last year — one of 64 clubs put into administration since 1992. and with the football league calling for a greater share of the premier league's wealth, the government has warned the regulator could intervene to bring about a new financial settlement. there is much that football could already be doing to protect the game. this includes reaching a much—needed agreement on a new package of financial redistribution for the football pyramid. and i again urge them to solve this issue. the premier league said it already provides half a billion pounds a year to the wider game and recognise the case for change. commentator: casimiro! but at a time when manchester united is for sale, it added it was vital that regulation does not deter investment or have unintended consequences. i think we all would have hoped that football itself could have solved some of the conundrums that we're facing and some of the

difficulties that we've had, but clearly we haven't. so, in some ways, we've only got ourselves to blame. the premier league has established itself as the richest and most popular club competition in the world. the government says it wants that to continue, but insists historic change is now needed for the good of the wider game. dan roan, bbc news. sports minister stuart andrew says the government has listened to fans. i think the important point to say here is that we have listened very carefully to the experience of fans. they have been at the forefront of our minds. and clearly in too many instances, they have seen the clubs that they love and they have invested in, you know, be run, if you like, in a way that isn't sustainable. and so the independent regulator will be able to monitor each of the clubs to ensure that, first of all, we know who owns those clubs, that they are fit and proper people to run those clubs, and that they have the best interests of those clubs at heart.

and crucially, that they have sound financial planning to ensure that those clubs are sustainable, notjust today but into the future, so that those fans can have absolute confidence that their clubs are being run in the best way possible. we can talk now to malcolm clarke, chair of the football supporters' association. does this set of measures go far enough? will the regulator really have enough power?— enough? will the regulator really have enough power? well, i think it robabl have enough power? well, i think it probably will- _ have enough power? well, i think it probably will. we _ have enough power? well, i think it probably will. we fully _ have enough power? well, i think it probably will. we fully support - have enough power? well, i think it probably will. we fully support the l probably will. we fully support the recommendations, which have led to this. as the minister said, tracey crouch are self that a very thorough review, looked at ten key strategic areas, and the government have now followed this up with a white paper, endorsing most of that. and provided

that this is now translated into legislation and will be included in the king's speech, then it is all systems go for a strong regulator to really address some of these problems. really address some of these problem-— really address some of these roblems. , ., ., ., problems. does it go far enough in terms of making _ problems. does it go far enough in terms of making potentially - problems. does it go far enough in | terms of making potentially wealthy owners of clubs that are already in existence at the moment be accountable? that there are proper checks on whether they are fit and proper people to own english football clubs and tracking their sources of money?— football clubs and tracking their sources of money? yes, i think it will do. obviously _ sources of money? yes, i think it will do. obviously we _ sources of money? yes, i think it will do. obviously we want - sources of money? yes, i think it will do. obviously we want the i will do. obviously we want the regulator to have teeth. and when the actual legislation is drafted, we will be looking at that very closely, but the regulator will issue licences, which will enable clubs to play, and the ability and background of all owners will form part of that. with the strength and

test, so at the moment we are quite optimistic that it will do that, but we are not complacent and we will keep our eye on the legislation to make sure there is no backtracking on that. ~ , ., , make sure there is no backtracking on that. ~ , .,, ., ., make sure there is no backtracking on that. ~ , ., ., �* , on that. will it stop another bury football club _ on that. will it stop another bury football club collapse _ on that. will it stop another bury football club collapse in - on that. will it stop another bury football club collapse in future? | football club collapse in future? hopefully, and notjust beret, there is a list as long as your arm of clubs who have had problems in the last 30 years. i think 64 in administration since the premier league was founded, and that includes many of the great and historic names of british football, so it is vital that those community assets are protected and we certainly think it would stop incidences like this in the future. in terms of what fans will notice if this all goes through, what will they see themselves?- this all goes through, what will they see themselves? well, hopefully they see themselves? well, hopefully

the will they see themselves? well, hopefully they will see — they see themselves? well, hopefully they will see clubs _ they see themselves? well, hopefully they will see clubs which _ they see themselves? well, hopefully they will see clubs which are - they see themselves? well, hopefully they will see clubs which are run - they see themselves? well, hopefully they will see clubs which are run on i they will see clubs which are run on a sustainable basis, and i think also the revenue redistribution issueis also the revenue redistribution issue is an extremely important one. as was said in your clip, the football industry itself has failed to sort this out. and the regulator will have some reserve powers, because there is a huge cliff between the premier league, where so much of the wealth is concentrated, and the rest of the football pyramid. when the premier league was founded, the football league income was about 75% of that of the premier league. now it has gone right down to about 6%, and that is the root cause of many of the problems, because clubs often behave irresponsibly to try to get into the land of milk and honey, as aware, next level up. —— as it were, at the next level up. —— as it were, at the

next level up. the headlines on bbc news... a senior detective in northern ireland has been shot by two gunmen. john caldwell was attacked in front of children as he coached football at a sports centre in 0magh. he's in a critical but stable condition labour leader sir keir starmer is launching what he calls five national �*missions�* for a future government. we'll bring you his speech live at 10:30. the government confirms plans to establish a new independent regulator of men's football in england, which aims to make clubs financially resilient and stop them joining breakaway competitions. sir keir starmer will pledge to make the uk the highest—growth economy in the g7 if labour wins power. the goal is one of five "missions" to put at the centre of his party's offer to voters at the next election. the others, to be unveiled at a speech this morning, include making britain a "clean energy superpower" and cutting health inequalities.

speaking earlier on bbc breakfast mr starmer outlined the purpose of labour's five �*missions�*. joining us now live from salford ahead of that speech is our chief political correspondent nick eardley. we've ea rdley. we've eardley. seen circular storm are doing a we've seen circular storm are doing a round of interviews this morning, setting out what this mission statement means —— circular storm. big picture stuff saying we've got a big goal but as the detail on how they're going to deliver it? hot big goal but as the detail on how they're going to deliver it? met a they're going to deliver it? not a treat they're going to deliver it? not a great deal. _ they're going to deliver it? not a great deal. is — they're going to deliver it? not a great deal, is the _ they're going to deliver it? not a great deal, is the short - they're going to deliver it? not a great deal, is the short answer, | they're going to deliver it? not a| great deal, is the short answer, i think this is designed to be labour's big picture such that it will develop over the next 18 months orso will develop over the next 18 months or so leading up to when we think the general election will be i think what dear starmer is trying to say to voters today zero he really thinks if you make me prime minister that will be the guiding principles guiding objectives that i want to live by, and some of them are fairly

ambitious, like having the highest sustained growth in the g7, that will be difficult to achieve. the big question being asked this morning of them is how is he going to do it? at the moment we don't have that detail, but he was on bbc breakfast this morning talking about these being guiding principles for a labour government. this is the big fixing the fundamentals, to make sure we can restore, if you like, the pride and purpose to britain, the pride and purpose to britain, the great potential our country has, so they are long—term missions, a statement of intent about how we intend to govern, and they are very important missions, the missions about outline this morning are predominately to do with the economy, and to have the highest sustained growth in the g7, and sustained growth in the g7, and sustained as they were the important word in that, but we also need to make sure the nhs is fit for the

future, we need to make our streets safe, we need to make sure we remove the barriers to opportunity for every child everywhere, and we want to be a green, clean power, superpower country. so big missions, big ambition, and i'm not, you know, ashamed to be ambitious for our country, but this is about fixing the fundamentals to make sure we can move forward as a country, rather than stay in this almost crouch position i think we've been on for many years now but we don't have the confidence to move forward. this many years now but we don't have the confidence to move forward.— confidence to move forward. this is obviously reminiscent _ confidence to move forward. this is obviously reminiscent of— confidence to move forward. this is obviously reminiscent of new - obviously reminiscent of new labour's five pledges, also. in terms of where the labour party is positioning itself, how far has it moved from thejeremy corbyn days? has moved all the way back to blair and brown? 0rare we not has moved all the way back to blair and brown? or are we not clear yet? that is one of the criticisms i think if we hear from the left of the labour party, that these admissions are very different to

care starmer�*s ten pledges he had during the leadership campaign that talks a lot about ownership and things like that, so i think keir starmer has deliberately tried to shakeis starmer has deliberately tried to shake is all in say my labour party is very different tojeremy shake is all in say my labour party is very different to jeremy corbyn�*s that will absolutely infuriate some in his own party, but the calculation that sir keir starmer�*s team have made is that where they will win an election, they are in the centre ground of british politics, they have a lot more chance of getting the keys to downing street, and i think these five missions we will hear about the day will be the central pillars of that. i think we will hear a lot about them over the next 18 months. they are going to be big parts of labour�*s pitch. you're going to have rishi sunak�*s five pledges, remember them from the start of the year, the economy, the nhs, immigration, now you got keir starmer�*s five

missions, the things both parties think will decide the next general election. joining me now is chris hopkins, politcial research director at pollsters savanta comres. thank you very much forjoining us. the labour party have broadly been ahead for about the last year or so, or more in fact. what is the current polling suggesting? the or more in fact. what is the current polling suggesting?— polling suggesting? the current ollin: is polling suggesting? the current polling is actually _ polling suggesting? the current polling is actually quite - polling suggesting? the current polling is actually quite a - polling suggesting? the current polling is actually quite a mix. l polling suggesting? the current l polling is actually quite a mix. we are starting to see some kind of divergence which has not happened for quite a long time. our latest poll which has not been published yet shows a 14 point labour lead and thatis yet shows a 14 point labour lead and that is one of the industry... labour well into the 20s, and i think yesterday there was 28 points. what is really generating that is the difference between pulses in where they feel, conservative 2019 voters, where they are going. lot

seeing a very similar proportion of direct switchers from the conservative party to the labour party, about 14% of 2019 conservative voters are going to the labour party, but what we are seeing an apple income love conservative 2019 voters staying within several party whereas others are seeing a lot more sing their undecided or perhaps would not vote on when they get wiped out of the headline voting intention, that is what it's exaggerating some of these quite large fleets and what is likely to happen at a general election remains to be seen. we are asking how you would force there was a general election tomorrow, and adjusting to be some sort of divergence in the polls regarding how sticky some of those to those in the 19 conservative voters actually are post liz truss and now with rishi sunak. �* , ., , post liz truss and now with rishi sunak. �* , .,, i. ., sunak. are the people you are erha -s sunak. are the people you are perhaps less _ sunak. are the people you are perhaps less sure _ sunak. are the people you are perhaps less sure about, - sunak. are the people you are l perhaps less sure about, though sunak. are the people you are - perhaps less sure about, though is the traditional perhaps southern tories who are perhaps attracted more by rishi sunak�*s vision and are

relatively ambitious centre is planned from the labour party that is going to try and eliminate any votes that they may have got, 100 truss conservative party, but may now have lost under rishi sunak, to try and those back... compared to rishi sunak with relatively sensible economics, very different today liz truss conservative party, lost a massive, gave labour a massive lead. in terms of trying to determine what is going to sway voters minds, the one is critical to getting seats, do issues like labour going on the attack on private health care shares, depriving letting agencies, all that sort of thing might hit middle—income middle families? to those matter or do the people who are affected by that not live in potentially important swing states?

i think it matters to the extent that that is the conservative base, ultimately, and there is elements of what we see in our polling and focus groups, there is conservative fatigue at the moment across some relatively safe for a traditional conservative voters. what keir starmer perhaps has not done yet convince them that they are for him, , convince them that they are for him,, but i do still think keir starmer has to make a real pitch that labour can be trusted with things like the economy, can be trusted ahead of the conservatives with public services and other things but perhaps they lost that trust underjeremy corbyn and possibly even under ed miliband. the next 18 months is going to be really interesting, but there is not loads and loads of differences at the moment between rishi sunak�*s conservative party and keir starmer�*s labour party, so a massive 28 point lead seems far—fetched to me, given their is not that... rishi

sunak is relatively well lit, not too dissimilar to keir starmer, it will be interesting. —— well liked. there will be changes and naples between now and the next general election and at the moment i would say labour has the advantage. and as having a conservative government for the last 13 years, there does seem to be evidence of voter fatigue. {lin to be evidence of voter fatigue. on these five pledges, mission statements from labour, five promises from sue —— rishi sunak, it's something that says fibre see magic number when trying to persuade people? i magic number when trying to persuade --eole? ~ , , ., people? i think it is perhaps a relief from — people? i think it is perhaps a relief from labour _ people? i think it is perhaps a relief from labour supporters| people? i think it is perhaps a i relief from labour supporters there are not as many as there were under ed miliband and i had not return it on a massive piece of rock, but ultimately the labour government,

future labour government and the conservative government are trying to pitch to voters, make relatively sensible and ambitious economic arguments, given the state of the economy in the uk at the minute, and there doesn't seem to be loads and loads of differences of opportunity at the moment, and therefore the labour advantage could well be that they are not the party —— are the party of borisjohnson and liz truss who ultimately did gift labor day leads over the last year and into the share. pm leads over the last year and into the share-— the share. an interesting year ahead, thank _ the share. an interesting year ahead, thank you. _ how is the weather looking? a lovely picture. a lovely start to the day for many and we are going to see those blue skies overhead throughout today, some parts of wales, the midlands, northern england is going

and will be on display in 2025. time for the sport. good morning. manchester city are still favourites to go through to the champions league quarterfinals, but they have plenty of work to do after they were held to a 1—1 draw in germany by rb leipzig. patrick gearey was watching. across 12 years, across a continent, manchester city have been searching. if their hunt for the european cup has taught them anything, it's the value of patience. against rb leipzig, they waited 26 minutes for one riyad mahrez moment. leipzig themselves seemed in no particular hurry, they bobbed along until the second half, when suddenly they found some urgency and fluency. benjamin henrichsjust needed the accuracy. the feeling was that city don't offer those chances often, but 15 minutes later, here was an even better one. scored byjosko gvardiol, one of europe's rising forces. no great rush or panic from city,

but with the final action of the game, they pleaded for a handball, a penalty. their case, highlighted in the post—match replays. they will be able to take out their frustration in the second leg, but this competition continues to stretch manchester city's patience. patrick geary, bbc news. as they continue their preparations for this summer's world cup, england's lionesses have retained the arnold clark cup, thrashing belgium 6—1 in bristol. it takes their unbeaten run to 29 matches. 0ur sports correspondent natalie pirks was watching. england are in the winning habit — their third trophy under sarina wiegman. how they'd love their next one to be the world cup in australia in the summer. but before their date with destiny, belgium stood in england's way. their red flame was extinguished early. and in from chloe kelly! belgium offered little in attack but were proving

stubborn in defence. it was just before half—time, with a helping hand from russo, when the captain popped up to double england's lead. leah williamson! after the break, it was much of the same, and when ella toone's shot was spilled at the feet of kelly again, there was only one possible outcome. mary earps was caught cold at the end with the best goal of the game, but it was just a consolation for belgium, as leah williamson added a flourish for england's sixth. their unbeaten run now stands at 29 matches, with two games left to play before their summer of reckoning. can england really win a world cup? definitely. we won the euros. we've got it in the bag. a mix of experience and youth talent, i'd say they've got i a really good chance. definitely. ten out of ten, we're going to win. some believe england are the best team in the world right now — how the fa would love that to come true in australia. natalie pirks, bbc news, bristol.

more money for lower league clubs, more redistribution from the wealthy elite, and more powerforfans....all proposals that would be re—enforced by an independent regulator. there are the main recommendations for the future of football in england after a fan—led review which have now been confirmed in a uk government white paper released today. helping clubs avoid going into administation and blocking the elote ones from joining a breakaway european super league would be be among the powers held by english football's new independent regulator. so far the proposals have been warmly received. the common thread is, clubs are run into problems when owner funding runs out. 0wnerfunding is fantastic, until it isn't. either owners up funding or they can't continue funding, and they are only funding because of the inequities in distribution. championship clubs

have enormous challenges competing with parachute clubs, for example. chasing the dream leads to irrational behaviour. government has highlighted that wages in the championship are 125% of revenue. you don't need to be an accountant to realise that is absolutely not sustainable by any analysis. 50. to realise that is absolutely not sustainable by any analysis. so, the wa ahead sustainable by any analysis. so, the way ahead for _ sustainable by any analysis. so, the way ahead for football. _ that's all the sport for now. israel has carried out air strikes in the gaza strip after rockets were fired from the palestinian—controlled territory. the israeli military said it shot down five of the devices, the other landed in a field. the rocket attacks came after a deadly israeli raid in the occupied west bank on wednesday. 11 palestinians were killed in nablus. 0ur middle east correspondent tom bateman reports.

gunfire. another day of death and bloodshed in nablus. shouting. the worst this city has seen since the depths of this conflict two decades ago. it started with israeli undercover forces seen here entering the city in disguise. then more raided. it was mid—morning into streets, packed with people. sparking gunfights with palestinian militants. troops opened fire and blew up a building in the old city. i was woken by an explosion and saw special forces with dogs, troops connecting wires, which i assume were for explosives, says khalil shahin, who lives nearby. the destructive force of an israeli rocket fired at a palestinian house. israel says its troops killed three militants of the lion's den group who refused to surrender. it wanted them over the killing of a soldier last year and for planning new attacks.

but as paramedics struggled to move, more people were killed outside, gunmen and civilians, including a 72—year—old man. while others, apparently unarmed, were seen running away as gunshots were heard. palestinian officials called it a massacre. in the hospitals, the wounded and their relatives pour in. 15—year—old islam says he threw stones towards the soldiers. he got a bullet in the leg. his grandfather, jaafar abu ishii, tells me young and old were hit the wall. and old were hit. "they came in with so much rage, so much hatred against the palestinian people. it's the first time i've known it like that since 2004," he says. we're seeing more and more relatives arrive here and on this ward alone, they are treating people in every room now with bullet wounds. 0ne doctor i spoke to said this is one of the worst events

of his kind he's seen recently. he called it a disaster. thousands turned out for another day of funerals. the raid in nablus is now the deadliest in the occupied west bank in nearly two decades. israel says it's been trying to stem the rise in palestinian attacks on its streets. the northern west bank has become home to growing militancy, with the official palestinian leadership losing control here. now, the militant group islamic jihad is threatening retaliation. the scale of bloodshed shows recent international efforts to restore calm are failing. tom bateman, bbc news, nablus. we can cross live tojerusalem and our middle east correspondent yolande knell. just picking up on the last point, we had seen that on the diplomatic front, it looked like there could have been some positive development,

why are we seeing these events now, is it clear? ., , why are we seeing these events now, is it clear? . , ., , is it clear? certainly, there has been an escalation _ is it clear? certainly, there has been an escalation since i is it clear? certainly, there has been an escalation since the i been an escalation since the beginning of the year, although for the past year, israel's military has been carrying out these arrest raids, search and investigation rates, it calls them, in the occupied west bank, following a series of deadly attacks by palestinians on israelis. now, the reason that this raid seems to have had so many casualties is a lot to do with the timing of it and the fact that we have indications that the israeli military had lifetime information on the whereabouts of a wanted man and that he was in this hideout in the heart of nablus, but the timing was mid—morning, when they went in, and whereas many of they went in, and whereas many of the other raids have taken place at night, they have been more targeted, in this case, the streets were bustling with people, this is a busy market area, and also, it enabled

other armed fighters who we know are there in that area to come and join in the gunbattle, so there was about four hours of fighting that ensued. can you just explain a bit more about where a palestinian leadership is now and these different groups? well, i mean, we have the palestinian authority, which controls parts of the west bank. there has been a lot of criticism of the palestinian authority in recent days because it dropped its demand for a resolution to come before the un security council for a vote after israel made some very big announcements on expanding settlements and legalising previously unauthorised settlement outposts there was a lot of us pressure for it to do that, but what we understood is that there was a deal that was done in the background there to try to calm the situation by washington, and we had the

israeli prime minister coming out saying that there would be a freeze for several months in the creation of new settlements. then we heard from hamas, which governs gaza, that really a lot of criticism of that as well, saying that the palestinian authority had showed its weakness, that it hadn't backed down, and then both hamas and islam arejihad militant groups were very quick to threaten retaliation after that deadly raid in nablus and that is where we have seen gaza also getting involved, six rockets being fired from the gaza strip at dawn this morning towards southern israel, most of them were brought down ricky by the israeli missile defence system, the israeli military then responded by hitting targets it said were linked to hamas in the gaza strip. we are not getting reports of anybody being hurt but it does seem that because we know that there are large rocket arsenal is for these militant groups in gaza that this

was a relatively calibrated response, and that egypt, which acts as the traditional good go—between for israel and these militant groups, because they don't recognise each other, they certainly don't speak to each other directly, egypt, working with washington, working with other players, has been trying to keep things calm at least in relation to gaza, but then just looking at the past few hours, we have had other attempted attacks by palestinians on israelis, attempted stabbing attack against soldiers, some shootings which so far have not killed anybody, but it does show that the possibility here of things spiralling out of control.- spiralling out of control. yolande knell, spiralling out of control. yolande knell. many _ spiralling out of control. yolande knell, many thanks _ spiralling out of control. yolande knell, many thanks indeed i spiralling out of control. yolande knell, many thanks indeed for i spiralling out of control. yolande i knell, many thanks indeed for your time. atv a tv reporter and a nine girl have been shot dead in florida close to another murder which took place hours earlier. a second reporter and

the mother of the girl were also shot and injured. 19—year—old keith moses had been arrested and police say the motive for the is unclear. the cases of 12,000 asylum seekers are to be fast—tracked by the home office to try to fulfil rishi sunak�*s pledge to reduce the backlog of applications by the end of the year. migrants from afghanistan, eritrea, libya, syria and yemen will have their claims decided on the basis of a ten—page questionnaire which must be completed in english within 20 days. our home editor mark easton reports. afghans, who say they are fleeing persecution from the taliban, persecution from the taliban are among five nationalities being offered a fast track route to being granted asylum in the uk. they'll now be able to have their cases decided without ever being interviewed face—to—face. and we expect to abolish the backlog of initial asylum decisions by the end of next year. last december, the prime minister said that by the end of 2023, his government would eradicate the backlog of 92,000 asylum claims that have been stuck in the system

for more than six months. those eligible for the fast track scheme may be granted refugee status if they fill out a ten—page form in english and return it within 20 days. they must have applied for asylum before lastjuly and be from five countries with an acceptance rate of more than 95% — afghanistan, eritrea, libya, syria and yemen. some of those on the proposed fast track scheme will have arrived on small boats across the channel, an issue rishi sunak regards as one of his priorities. the asylum backlog is why thousands of migrants awaiting a decision are currently housed in hotels at a cost of millions every day. however, having previously stressed the importance of in—person interviews, the home office is likely to face criticism that the fast—tracking has more to do with the prime minister's promise to eradicate the backlog than having rigorous checks for identifying individuals with no right to be in the uk.

it will be uncomfortable for a home secretary who portrays herself as tough on those who claim asylum having arrived by an irregular route. we need to ensure that we fix this problem of illegal migration. that's my priority. and as the prime minister himself has said, he'll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. it appears, however, that downing street's determination to sort out the asylum backlog means making it simpler for thousands of migrants to get permission to stay in the uk, some of whom will have arrived in small boats. mark easton, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... a senior detective in northern ireland has been shot by two gunmen. john caldwell was attacked at a sports centre in 0magh after a youth training session. he's in a critical but stable condition. labour leader sir keir starmer is launching what he calls five national missions for a future government. we'll bring you his speech live at 10:30. the government confirms plans to establish a new independent

coasts at the weekend, but overall, high pressure is building in, meaning lots of you will be dry. a sunny start for many but with the breeze coming in from the north—east, the cloud in the east will push westwards during the day. temperatures starting to draw a little bit further, down into single figures more widely on saturday. 0n figures more widely on saturday. on sunday and beyond, the high pressure builds in even more, keeping things largely dry. 0n the southern edge, we will have some strong winds. there might be a bit of an added wind chill. a few showers in belfast, edinburgh, maybe towards the north—east of england, but overall, a lot of dry weather around, temperatures close to where we should be.
