12:31 pm
palestinian officials say at least eight palestinians have been killed. the operation included air strikes on thejenin refugee camp. israeli ground forces have now also entered the city ofjenin. this is the live picture we are getting offjenin at about 230 local time. this large—scale military operation began with the deployment of drones. israel then followed up with ground forces which entered jenin and lead to gun battles on the streets of the city. as i mentioned, palestinians saying that at least eight people have been killed, and perhaps up to 50 people have been injured in these latest attacks. the israeli defence force saying though that it has targeted terrorist infrastructure within thejenin area. so, that is what we are getting so far, and that is the picture right on out ofjenin. i want to bring injoel greenberg from

12:36 pm
labour party affecting her ability to remain impartial. but this is simply an appointment that both sides will not agree on at all, because the conservatives, as i say, have argued that this is a breach of the code. that this is not a contact she should have had while still in that top civil service position. the labour party say that because this was just a phone call about a potential future job offer, and was just a phone call about a potentialfuturejob offer, and no government business strategy was discussed, they don't believe that code was broken. as it stands, she is still set to be keir starmer�*s chief of staff, later this year. but i think we can hear more, totally from conservative mps and ministers in the meantime about their unhappiness with that. find in the meantime about their unhappiness with that. and of course, unhappiness with that. and of course. it _ unhappiness with that. and of course. it is — unhappiness with that. and of course, it is important, - unhappiness with that. and of l course, it is important, because unhappiness with that. and of - course, it is important, because she is inspected in that role to play a key part in trying to get labour into government.— into government. that is right. certainly. _ into government. that is right. certainly. the _ into government. that is right. certainly, the appeal— into government. that is right. certainly, the appeal of - into government. that is right. certainly, the appeal of her- into government. that is right. i certainly, the appeal of her from the labour party's point of view, they feel like she was somebody with a great amount of insight and
12:37 pm
knowledge about how government works. —— insider knowledge. 0ne knowledge about how government works. —— insider knowledge. one of the controversies about this was her background, that she was the top civil servant that led that investigation into downing street parties during covid. the report into that was published in may last year, this won't go that she had with keir starmer was in october of last year. and she reports having said that she would consider his offer, if she ever resigned from the civil service. which he later went on to do. she has now accepted that role, and as i say, is set to start in september. and one of the key functions of it, as you say, will be preparing labourfor functions of it, as you say, will be preparing labour for potentially a role in government, if they were to win the next general election. so i think, as i say, there is unhappiness about the appointment, but labour welcoming herjoining but labour welcoming her joining their team. but labour welcoming her “oining their team.— their team. thank you very much indeed. there are indications that global temperatures spiked injune, intensifying concerns that restricting long—term increases to 1.5 degrees may now be impossible. extreme heatwaves in the chinese
12:38 pm
capital beijing have broken records. its been a similar story in the united states, where temperatures have been ten degrees above the seasonal average. india has seen an increase in heat—related deaths. and in the uk, fish in rivers and canals have fallen victim to what the met office is expected to confirm was the hottest june since 1940. here's justin rowlatt. let's be honest, most of us enjoy a bit of warm weather. june temperatures are normally in the high teens or low 20s. this year, they have consistently been in the 20s and in some places, have even nudged into the 30s. but just look at what these exceptionally warm temperatures can do to canals and rivers. they helped drive an unusually high number of fish death incidents in june. thousands of fish died in a canal in oxford, in ponds in folkestone, and right outside the breakfast tv studios in salford.
12:39 pm
we see a lot of natural variability in our weather, clearly, from one year to the next. underlying this, of course, there is climate change happening and what that means is that the likelihood of seeing warmerjunes will increase through time. so when we have these high temperature events, climate change means that they tend to be longer in duration, greater in spatial extent, more intense. the met office is expected to confirm that thisjune beat the previous record set back in 1940. and that means it was also hotter thanjune 1976, a year celebrated for its scorching summer. to the united states —
12:40 pm
and the city of balitmore — where two people have been killed and another 28 injured in a shooting. more than a dozen of the victims were aged under 18. the motive for the shooting is still unclear, police are reviewing social media footage trying to identify at least two suspects. live now to cbs news correspondent, jarred hill who's in new york. what more do we know about what happened? the what more do we know about what ha- tened? , ., ,, happened? the shooting happened durint a happened? the shooting happened during a block— happened? the shooting happened during a block party _ happened? the shooting happened during a block party over _ happened? the shooting happened during a block party over the - during a block party over the weekend. early sunday morning, around 1230 or so on sunday morning, there were people that gathered at something that apparently happens every year in the city of baltimore, when all of a sudden, police say that at least two people started shooting in this group. 30 people were shot, two people were killed. among those victims, as you mention, a lot of them were teenagers. at least you were only 13 years old. they are still looking for the suspects as well as a motive, although there is apparently some video, book surveillance and possibly cell phone video from the area, so they will be taking a look at that as well. 50 area, so they will be taking a look at that as well.— at that as well. so basically, the still don't know _ at that as well. so basically, the still don't know who _ at that as well. so basically, the still don't know who the - still don't know who the perpetrators are, and still haven't cost them, more importantly?

definitely from what we have heard, they haven't got them yet. if they have any inkling or idea of who these people might be, they haven't made that information public, which isn't out of the ordinary, if the do indeed have an idea of who this might be. it either way, the police in the area saying they want it have any information to come forward with this. it is obviously a pretty scary situation. �* g ., this. it is obviously a pretty scary situation. . g . ., situation. and jared, there have been well over _ situation. and jared, there have been well over 200 _ situation. and jared, there have been well over 200 mass - situation. and jared, there have . been well over 200 mass shootings situation. and jared, there have - been well over 200 mass shootings in the us since the beginning of this year alone, and of course, as with everyone we get, the debate renews about gun control in the us, doesn't it? it about gun control in the us, doesn't it? ., , about gun control in the us, doesn't it? .,, ,,f it? it does in some capacity yes, but ritht it? it does in some capacity yes, but right now. — it? it does in some capacity yes, but right now, looking _ it? it does in some capacity yes, but right now, looking at - it? it does in some capacity yes, but right now, looking at how i it? it does in some capacity yes, | but right now, looking at how the federal political lines are so entrenched on over sides, and the fact that we had a split congress, with republicans controlling the house of representatives, and democrats controlling the white house, as well as the senate. and we are going into an election year, when nobody wants to really ruffle any feathers, they might be conversation or debate about this, but it doesn't seem as if there is
12:42 pm
any appetite for any stronger legislation, at least not on the federal level. so while we are seeing states like maryland, where baltimore is trying to permit some kind of gun control measures of their own, they can only go as far as the federal law allows them to. thank you very much. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bringing you different stories from across the uk. during lockdown. tamara ward, who lives in middle barton, couldn't visit her nephew dominic. it inspired her to organise the run five k every day in may challenge. hundreds of people have completed the fundraising runs, sometimes joining tamara and herfamily. it's a massive commitment and everyone has said to me that... the team were like, "oh,
12:43 pm
it's your third year. it's easy for you." i was like, "no, because i know what's coming." it's worse for me. but what's really nice about it is someone gets an injury or they've been ill for two days. the rest of the team will pick up their kilometres. so as a team it was really amazing. goglia wilson's son also has dravet syndrome. she's now chair of a national charity supporting families. £240,000 has already been raised. it will help families across the uk affected by the syndrome. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. you'll remember last year that russia's invasion of ukraine led to a huge increase in the cost of fuel. that prompted sky—high prices on petrol forecourts. well — the cost of fuel has come down since then — but has that reduction been passed on to the consumer? the uk government commissioned a report to find out — and it's just released its findings. the competition and markets
12:44 pm
authority says uk drivers have been paying over the odds for fuel since 2019. it blames a weakening of competition between retailers — and drivers have paid an extra six pence per litre. live now to bristol — where we can speak to simon williams — who's fuel and road—safety spokesperson for the royal automobile club — or the rac. why are we not seeing those price cuts trickle down to people at the four courts? the cuts trickle down to people at the four courts?— cuts trickle down to people at the four courts? ., , . ., four courts? the wholesale price of fuel has fallen _ four courts? the wholesale price of fuel has fallen considerably - four courts? the wholesale price of fuel has fallen considerably from i fuel has fallen considerably from where we were last year, we had record prices, with 191.5 petrol, and the need to pound a litre on average for diesel. but unfortunately, the retailers didn't pass on those savings to drivers. and today, everything we've been saying for years, in terms of monitoring the fuel market, has been proven to be true. the supermarkets have increased their margins, and haven't given their customers and other drivers around the country a good deal at the pumps. hopefully,
