wembanyama has been tipped to be better than some of basketballs greats, so what makes him so special? 0ur sports correspondent nesta mcgregor told us why there is so much hype around the frenchman if you could create a player with unlimited attributes it would literally be him. as you mention, seven foot five though there is some debate because he towers over people who are seven foot already playing in the lead, eight foot wingspan. he has got it all but importantly he is a basketball unicom because even though he is that all he has the ball handling skills, the speed and agility of players much smaller. everton have announced majority shareholder farhad moshiri willjoin the club's board as a nonexecutive director and chairman bill kenwright remains in his role. the everton board have come under much scrutiny from supporters in recent years, leading to protests. earlier this month chief executive denise barrett—baxendale and former player graeme sharp left the board, but kenwright stays. moshiri's move tojoin the board may not sit well with supporters. edin dzeko has moved

3:39 pm
19 ministries will make big contributions from countries like germany and norway. lula was also able to reduce the illegal gold mining on indigenous land so the first six months are looking promising that deforestation rates are high but if you compare to bolsonaro's government, deforestation rates are starting to slowly decrease.— deforestation rates are starting to slowly decrease. what about the idea that seems to — slowly decrease. what about the idea that seems to have _ slowly decrease. what about the idea that seems to have got _ slowly decrease. what about the idea that seems to have got pretty - slowly decrease. what about the idea that seems to have got pretty good i that seems to have got pretty good level of support? the principle that richer countries who have historically polluted more well now support poorer countries. is it enough at the moment? it is support poorer countries. is it enough at the moment? it is a great initiative, it — enough at the moment? it is a great initiative, it should _ enough at the moment? it is a great initiative, it should have _ enough at the moment? it is a great initiative, it should have happened l initiative, it should have happened before but i can see that still not enough for the moment. it is of course something that is going to

3:41 pm
to find work or come with a job already. what that means is the level of that language can be very low, lower qualifications needed and also there are schemes connected to the point system whereby if you've filled the criteria of a certain age and possibly certain background you can come to germany for our year to look for a job. this is quite a radical departure because until now there have been very few ways to come to germany as a worker if you are medium or low skilled and this is really opening the gates to attract migrant workers because that is the big problem in germany, the lack of labour, the lack of workers to fill these jobs, low in employment for years, the economy has done well and that means business say they cannot find work and that is about solving that. it is about increasing migration in general, it is a philosophical point

3:43 pm
the conservative say diluting. the far right are against it because they have a view on who should be in germany in the first view. they are increasingly extremist. they are anti—immigration in general, no surprise they are against it. what's also interesting is even though mainstream germany accepts the idea germany needs migrant workers and is a country of migration nowadays, the eft is doing very well in the polls so what we're seeing is an increasingly polarised society when it comes to migration. you have got a large mainstream german society accepting the need, happy for more migrants, particularly migrant and on the far right fringe is and some conservative circles they feel very nervous about migration and seeing this in poll numbers now. it is increasingly ferocious debate here increasingly ferocious debate here in germany. increasingly ferocious debate here in germany-—

3:50 pm
territory shortly with some members for hard—line government calling for a full—scale operation. the west bank has been burning this week and the embers here never take long to reignite. in the town of turmus aya, mobs of israeli settlers went on the rampage. they torched palestinian homes and attacked residents. they wanted to come in and hurt people. bullets shattered the windows of the shalabi family home. they tell me how they rushed the kids upstairs, only to find the house filling with smoke. translation: the boys and the girls lwere all crying, asking, "grandma, l are they going to shoot us?" isaid, "no, no, don't cry." i can't describe to you the fear me and the kids felt. they raise the flags in mourning. a palestinian man was killed,
3:51 pm
as men from the town tried to push the settlers back and were confronted by israeli forces. many in this town are palestinian americans and say they feel betrayed by us support for israel. what i saw yesterday was terrorism against us. and like i said, we have nothing to defend ourselves with. 0ur bodies and the rocks that we have, that's our defence. they have m—16s, they have drones. they have everything in there. you know, anything they want, they can use against us. the sense you get here when you walk these streets is just the intensity of these attacks. cars are melted into the streets, just how long all of this went on. it was brazen. and for people here, it was unchecked and without accountability. it is a symptom of the current crisis of violence engulfing the west bank. the attacks were an apparent reprisal. in a nearby israeli settlement, the funeral had taken
3:52 pm
place of a 17—year—old, one of four israelis shot dead the day before by gunmen from the palestinian militant group hamas. after months of growing violence, it sparked calls from pro—settler ministers on the far right for a full scale military operation. israel's leader didn't commit, but the rhetoric is ramping up. translation: anyone - who harms us will either be in the grave or in prison. i want to tell all those who seek to harm us that all options are on the table. we will continue to fight terrorism with full force and we will overcome it. earlier this week, israel used an apache attack helicopter to fire missiles at militants. they'd targeted troops with explosives. it was yet another raid into the city ofjenin, killing seven palestinians and injuring several israeli troops. by wednesday, israel's first confirmed use in the west bank

of a killer drone, hitting three militants in theircar. the damage is spreading and the anger surges too. many fear this crisis in the west bank can only escalate. tom bateman, bbc news, turmus aya in the occupied west bank. more than 200,000 people are expected to attend over the weekend. the first full day of live music is under way at glastonbury festival. more than 200,000 people are expected to attend over the weekend. we can speak now to the songwriter, deyaz, who's performing at the bbc�*s introducing stage later. thanks for coming in the programme. how's it going? filter? thanks for coming in the programme. how's it going?— how's it going? very well, thank ou. is how's it going? very well, thank you- is this _ how's it going? very well, thank you. is this your— how's it going? very well, thank you. is this your first _ how's it going? very well, thankj you. is this your first appearance at glastonbury, how are you feeling?

3:56 pm
but already it's starting to fragment as it pushes its way steadily eastwards. but we've got rain into parts of north—west england and wales. the best of the sunshine further south and east, so not a bad morning so far across surrey, as you can see. it looks likely that with the cloud and the rain, it'll be just a little bit fresher for many of us. top temperatures generally around 16 to 22 celsius, but in the sunshine, still pretty warm with it, 26 to 27 celsius. that's just nudging into 80 fahrenheit. now, as we go through this evening, still going to see some showery outbreaks of rain for a time drifting its way eastwards. this south—westerly flow feeding in a lot of cloud. it'll be misty and murky, but it's also going to drag with it more humid air, so it will be a mild night, an uncomfortable night for getting a good night's sleep, 15 or 16 degrees. so a warm start to saturday morning leading into a pretty warm and increasingly humid day as well. it will be cloudy, misty and damp at times along west—facing coasts. a few more organised showers into the north—west of scotland, so a warm start to saturday morning leading into a pretty warm and increasingly humid day as well. it will be cloudy, misty and damp at times along west—facing coasts. a few more organised showers
3:57 pm
into the north—west of scotland, but there'll also be some sunny spells for many and it will feel pretty warm generally across the country. we're looking at 17 to 25 celsius in scotland and northern ireland. highest values — 29, possibly 30 not out of the question somewhere across southern and eastern england. now the high pressure just drifts off into the near continent, but we still keep this southerly flow, but a frontal system pushing in from the west, so on sunday, a real contrast to the story, best of the sunshine, and still pretty hot with it, south and east. but as this front moves in into that very warm and humid air, it's going to trigger some sharp, intense thundery downpours. noticeably fresher behind it, but hot and humid ahead of it with highs of 30 celsius. now, as that rain clears away through sunday evening into monday, that fresher air will start to take over. and areas of low pressure look likely to start to move in from the north and west, so a change into next week. yes, it will be a little bit fresher in comparison to of late and there'll be showers or longer spells of rain at times. a welcome news for the gardens.
