uk drivers paid extra for fuel at supermarkets. the government promises more competition to drive prices down. and wimbledon gets under way, we will be back with more as novak djokovic and others take to centre court. hello, i'm matthew amroliwala, welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories and checking out the truth behind them. let's start without developing the story the middle east. israel has launched a major military operation in the occupied west bank — one of the biggest in recent years. the israeli military says at least seven militants have been killed. palestinian health officials say eight people have died and 50 injured. it started with multiple drone strikes

on thejenin refugee camp, and israeli army vehicles were seen moving in. israel claims the camp contains a command centre for palestinian militants. across the jenin skyline, smoke has been rising for much of the day — palestinian leaders say it's an attempt to destroy a refugee camp and that innocent people inside the camp have been bombed. fighting is continuing and there've been gun battles on the streets with palestinian militants — seen here — firing at the israeli army. meanwhile, israeli vehicles have been seen firing tear gas amid the clashes. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams reports. jenin is no stranger to the sound of armed conflict. this is the largest israeli operation there for years. overhead, drones looking for targets amid the densely populated streets. below, israeli troops inside the city and its refugee camp, on a mission, they say, to root out armed

militants responsible for attacks on israeli civilians. officials hinting the operation could last for days. the assault began at night. israel hitting an apartment it said was being used as a command centre by thejenin brigades, a loose alliance of armed palestinian groups which now dominates the camp. at local hospitals, a steady stream of injuries and a death toll that rose by the hour. israel says its operation is precise, focused and, as long as it lasts, civilians will be in grave danger. translation: what's going - on in the refugee camp is real war. there were strikes from the sky targeting it. every time we drive in with our ambulances, we come back full with injured people. street battles have raged all morning. jenin is a lawless place. these young gunmen have lost faith with the palestinian leadership. for them, there is no peace process, only a struggle to end israel's 56

year long occupation. israel calls them terrorists, this morning showing off home—made weapons seized inside the camp and saying all this is being sponsored from abroad. i want to emphasise that we don't have a fight with the palestinians. actually, our fight is with the proxies of iran in our region. members of israel's far—right government have been pushing for decisive action for months. it could escalate. in gaza and elsewhere, the atmosphere is boiling and the mechanisms for diffusing it are not obvious. paul adams, bbc news. our middle east correspondent yolande knell is injenin and has the latest. well, all around us you have this acrid smell, tires have been set on fire, there were protests here very early in the morning and gun battles continuing through the hour or so

that we have been injenin. regular loud sounds of explosions coming from withinjenin refugee camp, which is over to my right. we have seen plumes of dark smoke coming from there as well. it is obvious that this is still quite an intense stage in what israel says is it extensive counterterrorism operation. we are having statements from the janine grades, which is made up from different militant groups inside the camps. ——jenin brigades. there are claims as well from the palestinian militant groups that they have shut down one israeli military drone. it was a drone that was used just after one o'clock in the morning to carry out the first air strike. to put things into perspective, although air strikes are very common in the gaza strip,

thatis are very common in the gaza strip, that is not something we see used commonly in the west bank at all. in fact, only in the last week have we seen such an attack being carried out by the israeli military in the west bank. now drone seem to have been used for several strikes to clear the way for ground forces to enter. things quickly became very lively inside the camp, but all around me injenin there is a general strike, you don't see anybody out on the street although we have had some gun battles in jenin as well. we heard one not very long agojust before jenin as well. we heard one not very long ago just before the window here. we have the sound of ambulances going past. we know that they are really struggling to reach what we know are at least dozens of people who are injured, palestinians inside the camp. claims from military groups that there are israeli soldiers who are casualties as well. we don't have any official confirmation of that from the israeli military.

live now tojerusalem — where we can speak to danny danon — a member of the knesset with the likud party, and member of the foreign affairs and security committee in israel. we have experienced a wave of terrorism that own all came from jenin area. injured and killed and traced back tojenin. it became a hub for terrorism. that is what we had no choice but to go insidejenin and go after the terrorists and make sure we can bring stability and security to the people of israel. you accept, though, there have been many civilian casualties?— many civilian casualties? indeed. 16 palestinian terrorists, _ many civilian casualties? indeed. 16 palestinian terrorists, after- many civilian casualties? indeed. 16 palestinian terrorists, after they - palestinian terrorists, after they committed these horrible crimes, they fled into jenin area, committed these horrible crimes, they fled intojenin area, they are hiding over there. when we saw the

with more than 700 the night before — but pressure on the government continues. live now to our correspondent tom symonds. we have worked with the mayor, vincentjeanbrun, surrounded by thousands of people from this town and around the area, and they are here because it was his home which was attacked two nights ago by somebody, not clear who come up with a car that drove into his house. the mayor was not at home. his wife and children were there, and his wife was injured in that attack. and that attack seems to have been a turning point in the events of the last week here in france. we have seen plenty of protests at night, during the

darkness, mashed up cars, burnt cars, attacks on buildings, attacks on the police, attacks on the media, but the mood has changed in the last day with events like this. there are thousands of people listening to the speech of the mayor, he was just that we are the silent majority and we say stop, it's enough. we that we are the silent ma'ority and we say stop, it's enough.- we say stop, it's enough. we are 'ust we say stop, it's enough. we are just watching _ we say stop, it's enough. we are just watching the _ we say stop, it's enough. we are just watching the live _ we say stop, it's enough. we are just watching the live pictures i we say stop, it's enough. we are just watching the live pictures of| just watching the live pictures of that event over your shoulder, but in terms of a more general question aimed at the government, at emmanuel macron. is there any sort of indication to the basic grievances of those protesters being policed in a different way in france? two types of policing. is there any kind of indication that they are going to address that fundamental issue? look, matthew, this is a very difficult situation. for more difficult situation. for more difficult in some ways than the protests against the pension changes that emmanuel macron was the subject

of any last year or so. because we are talking about deep—seated in french society. there are people who have been protesting at night you are extremely angry about the way minorities are treated in this country and the way they are policed. but there are people here with signs saying we support the forces of law and order with guns and handcuffs on their signs. how do you reconcile those two sites? emmanuel macron has been trying to tread a fine line between those two positions, he has gone from arguing for bans on sales of fireworks at night to try to stop what is happening to telling the parents of these young rioters, many of them young, that they should really try to keep their children inside. there have been attempts to bring in curfews to have been attempts to bring in cu rfews to stop have been attempts to bring in curfews to stop young people going out at night. but not much beyond that. there is a policy at the centre of this protest, which is a police mode of operation, if you like, which allows police to open fire on fleeing suspects and

vehicles if they need to be stopped. a controversial policy and mr macron is facing a lot of calls from some of the protesters and some of their supporters to try to get that policy at least scrapped, but it is a very difficult situation.— at least scrapped, but it is a very difficult situation. thank you very much for the _ difficult situation. thank you very much for the latest _ difficult situation. thank you very much for the latest there. - difficult situation. thank you very much for the latest there. more i difficult situation. thank you very - much for the latest there. more from france throughout the course of today's programme. around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news. let's stay with a view stories. there are growing calls for nhs whistle—blowers to receive more support, after a record number came forward for support after speaking out. sir robert francis, who led the inquiry into hundreds of patient deaths at stafford hospital, says some people still pay a heavy price for speaking up. nhs england admits too many staff remain afraid to raise issues. rail passengers are being warned of disruption for the next six days, due to an overtime ban by train drivers in the aslef union.

15 train companies based in england are being affected from today — with many reducing their services. it's the latest move in the union's long—running pay dispute. and a group of conservative mps have warned the prime minister that he "risks eroding public trust" if he fails to drastically cut migration. calling themselves "the new conservatives", the group has published a plan to cut net migration by about 400,000 by the next election. if you have the stories making headlines here in the uk. you're live with bbc news. let's turn to an important story. an award—winning ukrainian writer, who was caught up in the russian missile strike on a restaurant last week, has died from her injuries. victoria amelina, who was a war crimes researcher, was having dinner with otherjournalists and writers when the restaurant was struck in the eastern ukrainian

city of kramatorsk. she's become the 13th person to die in the attack. tributes have poured in on social media — my colleague zari kargar has more. i want to start my report by sharing a tweet by victoria amelina. just days before she was attacked in that restaurant on the 24th ofjune, she wrote, "at night, i looked at fireballs in the sky from my balcony in kyiv and i listened to explosions. i went to sleep without checking the news. the war is when you can no longer follow all news and cry about all the neighbours who died instead of you a couple of miles away." victoria amelina was 37 years old. she was one of ukraine's most celebrated young authors. she was also an award—winning poet. since the invasion of ukraine, started by russia, she became a war crimes researcher. she travelled across ukraine. this is a tweet she pinned to her profile where she shares a picture of destructions in ukraine. she says, "i'm a ukrainian writer. i have portraits of great ukrainian poets on my bag. i look like i should be

taking pictures of books, art and my little son." "instead," she says, "i'm documenting war crimes." victoria amelina leaves behind the ten—year—old son. she went to kherson and then shared this picture of flowers from there and compared the resilience of these flowers to the resilience of people of kherson. since her death was announced on friday, people from across ukraine have been tweeting about her. celebrated authors like andrey kurkov, who is a well known ukrainian author. he writes about how charitable and kind victoria amelina was, sharing a picture of her. ukrainian historian olissa writes about how victoria was documenting russian war crimes in ukraine, but instead she became a victim of the war crime herself. ukrainian officials have also been sharing her picture,

the news about her death, and also tweeting tributes to her. human rights groups in ukraine have called her death a war crime. victoria's death comes as efforts to hold russia legally accountable for the war in ukraine took a step forward with the opening of a special tribunal in the hague. the body, which is backed by the european union, the united states and ukraine itself, has been set up specifically to deal with the crime of "aggression". human rights lawyer philippe sands came up with the initiative — and hejoins us now. i want to start with your thoughts about victoria, because you knew her very well, didn't you? i did about victoria, because you knew her very well, didn't you?— very well, didn't you? i did know her, we very well, didn't you? i did know her. we were — very well, didn't you? i did know her, we were last _ very well, didn't you? i did know her, we were last together- very well, didn't you? i did know her, we were last together in - very well, didn't you? i did know| her, we were last together in lviv last october at the book festival and we talked about crimes. she was actually a wonderful novelist, a wonderful human being, and it feels very bitter indeed today to learn

what has happened. she was in the restaurant, it was a civilian restaurant, it was a civilian restaurant, it was a civilian restaurant, it seems to have been explicitly targeted, in other words it wasn't an accident, it wasn't a missile gone wrong. this looks very much like the kind of war crime, ironically, she was herself investigating, and so it is a deep personal shop, investigating, and so it is a deep personalshop, i have investigating, and so it is a deep personal shop, i have got to say, that someone you know so well and he was really a civilian carrying out her writer's activities should be caught up in this. and that is why the efforts today in the hague are so very important. that the efforts today in the hague are so very important.— the efforts today in the hague are so very important. that move on the crime of aggression, _ so very important. that move on the crime of aggression, how _ so very important. that move on the crime of aggression, how significant| crime of aggression, how significant is that? it crime of aggression, how significant is that? , , , is that? it is very significant. it is that? it is very significant. it is the first _ is that? it is very significant. it is the first time _ is that? it is very significant. it is the first time since - is that? it is very significant. it is the first time since 1945 - is that? it is very significant. itj is the first time since 1945 that is that? it is very significant. it i is the first time since 1945 that an institution has been created with this kind of authority, to research and collect the evidence on the crime of aggression. the crime of aggression is the waging of a

manifestly illegal war, it was invented in 1945, it is to be called crimes against peace. it then slipped away, the large powers were not greatly in favour of it because of the concerns they had it would be applied to them, but in the context of russia's were in ukraine, which is clearly illegal, there is now this move to set up a tribunal. this is not a tribunal, this is an effort to gather evidence which a future tribunal... ., ' , ., to gather evidence which a future tribunal- - -— tribunal... how different is all of that from the _ tribunal... how different is all of that from the moves _ tribunal... how different is all of that from the moves we - tribunal... how different is all of that from the moves we have i tribunal... how different is all of i that from the moves we have already had from the international criminal court for arrest warrants against vladimir putin? just explain the differentiation, by this is significant given we have already had that? the significant given we have already had that? ., ., ., . ., had that? the international criminal court hasjurisdiction _ had that? the international criminal court hasjurisdiction in _ had that? the international criminal court hasjurisdiction in three i had that? the international criminal court hasjurisdiction in three of i court has jurisdiction in three of them, were crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. it doesn't come for a variety of technical reasons, have a confidence to deal with crime of aggression. the crime

on average — an extra six pence a litre for fuel at supermarkets last year because of a lack of competition. we heard from simon williams, the rac�*s fuel spokesperson, a little earlier — let's speak to him again now. before i talk about what the government has said, just recap for usjust how much government has said, just recap for us just how much consumers are being overcharged here? good usjust how much consumers are being overcharged here?— overcharged here? good afternoon. yes, overcharged here? good afternoon. yes. consumers _ overcharged here? good afternoon. yes, consumers have _ overcharged here? good afternoon. yes, consumers have been - overcharged here? good afternoon. i yes, consumers have been overcharged for some considerable time. a programme called fuel watch, we monitor the price of retail fuel but also crucially the price of wholesale fuel stop for the last three months, the price of diesel on the wholesale market has been lower than petrol, yet if you were to visit any forecourt across the uk you would see diesel being priced above petrol, and that is simply not right. and it is led to drivers being overcharged incredibly. on a litre of diesel, 25p per metre. the

long—term margin is 7p per metre. we all know the costs have increased and margins probably have to go with it to reflect that, operating costs, but 25p per litre compared to seven? three times the average? and also petrol, is still overpriced at the moment. , , , , petrol, is still overpriced at the moment. , , ,, ., ., ., petrol, is still overpriced at the moment. ,, ,, ., ., ., ., moment. this press monitor idea, how effective as a — moment. this press monitor idea, how effective as a solution _ moment. this press monitor idea, how effective as a solution is _ moment. this press monitor idea, how effective as a solution is that _ effective as a solution is that likely to be? that effective as a solution is that likely to be?— effective as a solution is that likely to be? effective as a solution is that likel to be? �* ., , ., effective as a solution is that likel to be? �* ., ,, likely to be? at the moment, you can already see — likely to be? at the moment, you can already see the _ likely to be? at the moment, you can already see the price _ likely to be? at the moment, you can already see the price of— likely to be? at the moment, you can already see the price of fuel, - likely to be? at the moment, you can already see the price of fuel, if i already see the price of fuel, if you download the app you can find the cheapest fuel near you now. so thatis the cheapest fuel near you now. so that is going to help. but it is going to take some time to bring into force. but what is most important is monitoring wholesale prices. to understand when the market moves down substantially, thatis market moves down substantially, that is when prices should drop, otherwise you end up with the rocket and the feather, going up like a rocket and falling like a feather in a falling wholesale market, and that

wholesale price but take action on the retailers that don't reflect the price. the retailers that don't reflect the rice. ~ ., ., ., price. we have to leave it there. thank you _ price. we have to leave it there. thank you very _ price. we have to leave it there. thank you very much _ price. we have to leave it there. thank you very much for - price. we have to leave it there. thank you very much forjoiningl price. we have to leave it there. l thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. i'm back with more headlines here injust a moment or two. don't go away. we are looking at an unsettled start to the new week. today, broadly speaking, a day of sunny spells and showers, although there are some longer spells of rain around particularly for northern england and across northern areas of scotland where the weather is going to be quite wet today. nevertheless, for many of you it is a day where you might spot a rainbow or two in the skies, like this one in northern ireland. so probably some of the heaviest rain will be working across northern england to lincolnshire, showers broke out across east anglia, south—east england. we probably will still see a shower at wimbledon. any rain interruption is probably short lived. temperatures for the most part a little bit below

average, generally 17—19 c today. overnight, many of the showers is for a time although there will be summer rain developing across wales and south—west england later in the night. and our rain band in northern scotland will slowly trickle towards the central lowlands of a light as well. tomorrow, another unsettled one, howeverwe well. tomorrow, another unsettled one, however we are looking at potentially so much longer spells of rain, especially across parts of eastern and southern england. the rain here could be much more extensive. further northwards and much slower to clear as well. a rain band working across scotland and northern ireland, so a bit of wet weather there. northern ireland, so a bit of wet weatherthere. in northern ireland, so a bit of wet weather there. in between, spells of sunshine. temperatures below average for the time of year, generally into the high teens. wimbledon tomorrow, i think we are looking at a high chance of seeing some quite low prolonged spells where the rain will be affecting play. take a look at the weather picture into the middle part of the week. low pressure are still with us but it is weakening

and it is mainly to the north—west of the uk. it means that it is here where will we the lion's share of the showers on wednesday. i think showers much less widespread and so there should be more of you that stayed dry, a bit more in the way of sunshine around. it is said to get a little bit warmer. temperatures reaching the low 20s. some changes to which the end of the week. a weather front could bring particularly heavy rain to the western side of the uk, perhaps even heavy enough to cause some localised surface flooding. winds across more eastern areas will direct up some much hotter error, so for some temperatures could get towards the upper 20s through friday and saturday.
