the uk had hottestjune since records began, with heat killing fish in rivers and threatening insects. sport and for a full round up, let's go to the bbc sport centre. i want to show you these pictures first because these are the pictures from the israel gaza border and you can see the fires that are burning and young men carrying out their protests as the unrest spreads after that launch of the israeli military operation in the refugee camp at the start of the day. already we have been seeing the pictures from inside the camp and we know from the palestinians, they say they targeted what they described as seven palestinian militants. palestinian officials say eight have been killed and 50 wounded and have been

describing it more as an invasion rather than a military operation. that phrase from one palestinian official talking to the bbc in the last couple of hours. but the unrest clearly spreading as of that operation continues. we will have more on that which is our main story throughout the course of the next two and half hours. now, as promised, let's head to the bbc sport centre. hello from the bbc sport centre. let's start at wimbledon, where the top seed in the women's draw, iga swiatek, has begun her campaign in dominant fashion. the 22—year—old saw off zhu lin of china in straight sets. the pole needed just over an hour and 20 minutes to come through 6—1, 6—3. the four—time grand slam champion has never gone beyond the 4th round at swi9. well rain means play is suspended on all outside courts. over on centre court novak djokovic is in first round action against pedro cachin — that's under the roof

after play was heavily disrupted by the weather. the defending champion saw out the first set 6—3 despite being a break down early on. the match was then suspended so that the roof could be closed — play is yet to get back underway. earlier, seventh seed andrey rublev became the first man to reach the second round in this year's tournament, beating australia's max purcell in straight sets, 6—3, 7—5, 6—4 in just over an hour and a half. in football, newcastle united have confirmed the signing of midfielder sandro tonali from ac milan for a reported fee of £55 million, which would make him the most expensive italian footballer of all time. meanwhile, tottenham have reached a verbal agreement to sign manor solomon. the 23—year—old is set to undergo a medical this week. hejoined fulham on loan from shakhtar donetsk, after exercising a rule allowing ukraine—based players to suspend their contracts, following russia's invasion of the country.

pictures of thejenin skyline. we have seen that smoke rising from buildings four hours now as those exchanges continue. live now to jerusalem where we can speak to the journalist noga tarnopolsky. thank you for being here on bbc news. why has this exploded in the way it has in the last two hours? i way it has in the last two hours? i would say that in the last few years the jenin would say that in the last few years thejenin refugee camp has become thejenin refugee camp has become the nerve centre of palestinian islamicjihad activity and the majority of terror attacks we have seen against israelis, in one case a british israeli family, have emanated from there. there has been increasing buzz in israel about

having to undergo a major operation to try and root out these terror cells and that is what is behind what seeing today. horse cells and that is what is behind what seeing today. how bloody could it aet what seeing today. how bloody could it get because _ what seeing today. how bloody could it get because we _ what seeing today. how bloody could it get because we have _ what seeing today. how bloody could it get because we have seen - what seeing today. how bloody could it get because we have seen the - it get because we have seen the pictures over the last few hours of militants firing up the israeli army and also the israeli military using drones in their attacks. the palestinian _ drones in their attacks. the palestinian ministry - drones in their attacks. i'ie: palestinian ministry report drones in their attacks. tie: palestinian ministry report nine dead. how bloody this could get depends on how long it goes on for. so far, for an operation of this scale, as awful as this may sound, nine dead is a lower number than what might have been expected in such a densely populated place as jenin. but the longer this goes on the more dangerous it will be without question. is the more dangerous it will be without question.— the more dangerous it will be without question. is there any sort of estimation _ without question. is there any sort of estimation in _ without question. is there any sort of estimation in terms _ without question. is there any sort of estimation in terms of - without question. is there any sort of estimation in terms of militants j of estimation in terms of militants inside of that camp, a number on

so the prime minister is juggling volatile and extremist government. so the prime minister isjuggling on the one hand the army that came flat out earlier today and announced this was not an invasion of the west bank, that this was a limited operation to root out specific terrorists and they made it sound like we are talking about one or two days. then we have his ministers, some of whom are calling for the event —— very radical action. they don't have authority over the army but the prime minister has to juggle that public pressure. but the prime minister has to 'uggle that public pressure.�* that public pressure. thank you so much forjoining _ that public pressure. thank you so much forjoining us _ that public pressure. thank you so much forjoining us live. _ that public pressure. thank you so much forjoining us live. the - that public pressure. thank you so| much forjoining us live. the white house isjust issuing much forjoining us live. the white house is just issuing their first response saying the white house to support israel security and right to defend itself and they continue to monitor the situation in the west bank closely. so the first reaction to everything we have seen from the white house. kevin spacey�*s trial continues in london with his first alleged

victim giving evidence. the oscar winning actor is accused of 12 sexual offences against four men, between 2001 and 2013. he denies the charges. sanchia berg is at southwark crown court with the latest updates on this. as you are saying, at the beginning we heard from the first witness, a man who says he was assaulted, grabbed, groped, multiple times by kevin spacey in the early 2000 is when kevin spacey was spending a lot of time here thanks to his work with the old vic. the man referenced one specific incident which he said happened as he was driving kevin spacey to a celebrity party out in the english countryside. he said that kevin spacey made a grab for his crotch and squeezed so hard that he had to stop driving and take the car off the road because he said it

wasn't safe. he said he told kevin spacey he had to stop because otherwise he would crash and the actorjust laughed. now kevin spacey is pleading not guilty to all these charges and he —— his lawyer said last week he was baffled and deeply hurt by the evidence of this particular witness. so this afternoon we've been hearing that witness cross examined by patrick gibbs qc who is kevin spacey�*s barrister and he has been raising many questions about the veracity of the evidence and he's been suggesting to the witness that he only came forward last year because he had others coming forward and some people were suing kevin spacey for potentially a great deal of money. he said, you saw bandwagon and he decided to hop on it. around the world and across the uk,

this is bbc news. bbc news bringing you different stories from across the uk. 800,000 people depend to hospitals in north yorkshire. hospitals that watchdog says are providing inadequate care. the care quality commission says patients struggle to access some services, medicines are not managed properly and there are staff shortages. there are particular concerns about maternity services. for new mums in york they praise the efforts of individual maternity staff but felt the overall system was struggling. staff but felt the overall system was struggling-— staff but felt the overall system was struggling. there were some concerns when _ was struggling. there were some concerns when i _ was struggling. there were some concerns when i was _ was struggling. there were some concerns when i was two - was struggling. there were some concerns when i was two that - was struggling. there were some concerns when i was two that the hospital might be closed and we were getting told we might end up being diverted as far as doncaster. it isn't acceptable for an expectant mother to travel an hour but to keep services safe, sadly, in the past thatis services safe, sadly, in the past that is what we've had to do. hospital bosses in north yorkshire

are committed to improving local services but the pressure on all hospitals across the region is only set to grow. you're live with bbc news. the met office has confirmed the uk has seen its hottestjune on record. that's both in terms of mean temperature and the average maximum and minimum temperature. the average monthly temperature of 15.8 degrees celcius exceeded the previous highest averagejune temperature, recorded in 1940 and 1976, by 0.9 degrees. scientists said climate change made the chance of surpassing the previous joint record at least twice as likely. let's bring in dr frederike otto, senior lecturer in climate science at the grantham institute for climate change and the environment at imperial college london. any surprise from yourself to have confirmation of what we have all felt was actually all around us? trio. felt was actually all around us? no. it's not a surprise _ felt was actually all around us? iirm it's not a surprise to have this

referendum, is an issue generally for people, the issue of migration to the uk has become less important. so conflicting views of what actually matters. in so conflicting views of what actually matters.— so conflicting views of what actually matters. so conflicting views of what actuall matters. . ., actually matters. in terms of their solutions and _ actually matters. in terms of their solutions and in _ actually matters. in terms of their solutions and in terms _ actually matters. in terms of their solutions and in terms of- actually matters. in terms of their solutions and in terms of student | solutions and in terms of student visas and visa schemes for care workers, take us through that and other sort of assessment as to whether that is likely to be effective or otherwise? they lay out a number of — effective or otherwise? they lay out a number of ideas _ effective or otherwise? they lay out a number of ideas that _ effective or otherwise? they lay out a number of ideas that they - effective or otherwise? they lay out a number of ideas that they say - effective or otherwise? they lay out a number of ideas that they say the | a number of ideas that they say the government should consider and one of them is care workers. this is people working in elderly care homes, caring for the elderly or in their homes and residential settings where they would live and the issue is there is a real shortage of workers in that area. the government as that occupation on what's called as that occupation on what's called a shortage list which enables employers to hire from abroad and

bring people in. what this group of mps are saying is that it should be taken of that list and they should not be hiring from abroad. they reckon that would bring down immigration numbers by more than 100,000 a year but the problem is there is a crucial shortage of workers and to hire locally in the uk or encourage people to do that job locally would require wages to be put up quite six —— substantially. there is a real shortage of money in that sector and that would also prove inflationary which in the current climate the uk has high inflation anyway.— has high inflation anyway. we've also had that _ has high inflation anyway. we've also had that cabinet _ has high inflation anyway. we've also had that cabinet office - has high inflation anyway. we've i also had that cabinet office inquiry about the former officials who agree, in terms of reaction to that? the cabinet office said on the face of it she had broken the rules by having a conversation with the labour party while she was still working in the government or the civil service. the labour party have said this is nonsense and called it

a mickey mouse investigation. senior civil servant —— a former senior law officer in the governor said it didn't seem there was any evidence the government provided for her having actually acted in any way that was not impartial. former civil servant saying this inquiry was ill judged because usually when we go and ask questions about an investigation like this we are told it's all confidential and we can't discuss individual matters and they said changing that and publishing this report the government may have open something that could prove difficult in the future. it's just not cricket — that famous phrase couldn't refects the continung fallout from the ashes test match between england and australia over the weekend. the uk's prime minister has waded in to the row.

just to recap what happened — an english batsman, jonny bairstow, was dismissed in a controversial way — when the wicketkeeper threw the ball at the stumps. bairstow had assumed that the ball was dead — and he couldn't be dismissed — because all six balls in the over, had been bowled. but because the umpire had not announced that — technically, the game was still live — and he was given out, because he was out of his crease — when the stumps had been broken. it infuriated the england team — who implied it was unsporting — and australia went on to win the game. well, today, rishi sunak�*s spokesperson was asked if what the australian team did was in keeping with the spirit of the game. the reply: "the prime minister agrees with ben stokes — the england captain — he said he simply wouldn't want to win a game in the manner australia did." here to talk us through the drama is the bbc�*s henry moeran

what was it like in those moments? it was like nothing i've ever seen that loads before. it was extraordinary. given the significance of the moment and the fact that england were hanging on to this ashes series by a thread, it felt as though something was brewing in that day and that england perhaps could find that the momentum to get back into the match. that moment just brought about silence originally and then gasps and then suddenly an incredible reaction around lord's suddenly an incredible reaction around lords of fury, real anger, at what australia done. what happened was not against the laws of the game, absolutely. jonny bairstow is out. the question is whether the australia captain pat cummins acted in the spirit of the game because he could have withdrawn the appeal and said actually that's not how want to see a dismissal and clearly based though is confused and thought they all had come to an end and we don't want to take a crucial wicket in this way. he said, no, he stepped

out of the ground and weren't paying attention and doesn't matter. we are going to take the wicket.— going to take the wicket. england were furious. _ going to take the wicket. england were furious. i _ going to take the wicket. england were furious. i was _ going to take the wicket. england were furious. i was talking - going to take the wicket. england were furious. i was talking to - going to take the wicket. england were furious. i was talking to onej were furious. i was talking to one of our australian producers who said you shouldn't crumble because the english wrote the rule book and the australians carried it out. in terms of what it underlines is that perhaps it shows just the ruthlessness of this australian team. it ruthlessness of this australian team. ., . ruthlessness of this australian team. ., , ., ., , team. it does. there are so many questions — team. it does. there are so many questions being _ team. it does. there are so many questions being asked _ team. it does. there are so many questions being asked about - team. it does. there are so many questions being asked about this| questions being asked about this australian cricket team coming into this series about whether they could cope with how then approached the way they have in the last 12 months, this ultra—aggressive brand of cricket. and they have done so and played well. better than england have crossed the first two test matches. and they were winning so many supporters but the way they were playing in pat cummins is an inspirational leader and has been somebody was rebuilt the image of australian cricket after everything that happened five years ago with

the sandpaper incident in south africa. australia have been held up as an example of how to play the game. this has rather turned the narrative a bit and england won't mind that at all because they have played in the two matches but suddenly it feels as though the whole cricketing subordination is right behind ben stokes and his team. i right behind ben stokes and his team. . right behind ben stokes and his team. , ., team. i remember the underarm delivery that _ team. i remember the underarm delivery that was _ team. i remember the underarm delivery that was so _ team. i remember the underarm| delivery that was so controversial all those years ago. it sets up the third test and it's going to be quite tasty. it third test and it's going to be quite tasty-— third test and it's going to be uuite tas . , . . , quite tasty. it is and the western terrace at _ quite tasty. it is and the western terrace at headingley _ quite tasty. it is and the western terrace at headingley is - quite tasty. it is and the western terrace at headingley is about i quite tasty. it is and the western l terrace at headingley is about the noisiest stand in all of cricket and i think it's going to be quite a lively reaction for pat cummins and his side when that game gets under way. when he stepped up for the post—match presentation yesterday i've never heard those like it at loads. it's going to really liven things up for that third test match gym and have to win.—

reaching the central belt by dawn. some showers for northern ireland. an area of rain will move back in across parts of south—west england and southern wales as well. tuesday, it will be an unsettled day as these weather fronts merged together to give long outbreaks of rain across parts of eastern england. so we expect rain at times. this area of rain could end up being more extensive, working across east anglia and could be very slow to let up anglia and could be very slow to let up as well. further north we have a band of rain sliding southwards across scotland and northern ireland and turning a bit more showery nature and those temperatures still disappointing for the time of year. 17 to 19 celsius. although we saw some interruptions at wimbledon on monday i suspect we have much lengthier interruptions around for tuesday. the weather could get in the way of play for some time. by wednesday, although pressure is still with us its weakening and although they will be some showers around the majority of those will be

across parts of west scotland and northern ireland and elsewhere temperatures could hit 27 degrees in london t ireland he end of the week. probably a dry morning and they temperatures could hit 27 degrees in london t ireland and nd of the week. temperatures could hit 27 degrees in london t ireland and elsewhere leek. northern ireland and elsewhere probably a dry morning and they might be a few showers building might be a few showers building through the day crossing and in through the day wales but pretty isolated. the gap between any showers and that means more dry weather and sunshine and that should help boost temperatures into the low 20s. towards the end of the week we will see a slow—moving weather front across the west bringing heavy rain and we might see flooding in northern ireland. further eastwards the wind will drown in some warmer air and temperatures could hit 27 degrees in london towards the end of the week.
