was the hottestjune on record but experts warn the heat has caused the death of an untested number of fish. first and eight, hundreds of israeli soldiers backed by drones and armoured bulldozers are continuing a sustained assault on palestinian diligence onjenin camp. the palestinian district says eight palestinians have been killed and 50 others wounded after one of the biggest reason the territory by israel 20 years. the operation started with mortar —— multiple drone strikes on thejenin camp. it israeli army vehicles were seen moving on. israel claims it contains up moving on. israel claims it contains up command centre for palestinian militants. palestinian leaders it is an attempt to destroy refugee camp and innocent people have been bombed. ambulances have struggled to reach the injured because of the

intensity of the fighting. palestinians have been stones at israeli troops and hiding behind burning street barricades. fighting has been continuing and that had been gun battles on the street. palestinian militants are seen here firing at the israeli army. israeli vehicles have been firing tear gas. the us state department said it was vital to take all possible precautions to prevent the killing of civilians. let us go live to our middle east correspondent who is in jerusalem. what is the latest tonight? it jerusalem. what is the latest toniaht? ., ,, ., , jerusalem. what is the latest toniaht? ., , , jerusalem. what is the latest toniaht? ., , ., ., tonight? it appears this operation is continuing _ tonight? it appears this operation is continuing into _ tonight? it appears this operation is continuing into the night. - tonight? it appears this operation is continuing into the night. it - tonight? it appears this operation | is continuing into the night. it was lodged in the early hours of the morning and cameras picked up a large plume of white smoke rising above thejenin camp. it was said this morning this would be an operation which would be limited in scale and duration, they were not

planning to stay there for long term, they wanted to dismantle the infrastructure of these brigades and send a strong message about the attacks have been launched on israeli from groups within that area. 48 hours would be the generation of the operation. it is hard to tell exactly what the civilian impact on site may have been because things like water and electricity have been cut off. the un agency that looks after palestinian refugees said they are particularly concerned about the situation and conditions inside the camp but until the operation reaches a conclusion it will be hard to know what the civilian toll might be. what is it like inside the camp, where conditions like? it is what is it like inside the camp, where conditions like?- where conditions like? it is of course a _ where conditions like? it is of course a refugee _ where conditions like? it is of course a refugee camp - where conditions like? it is of course a refugee camp and i where conditions like? it is of| course a refugee camp and for where conditions like? it is of - course a refugee camp and for all of the scams you might have seen and heard about, very cramped conditions, very narrow streets and

lots of people living in one room if not one flat, generations of the same family and that has drawn real concern because an operation of this size in an area like that, a very densely populated area has the potential to cause civilian casualties. it has been interesting as well noting that israeli language and briefings today where they talked about the way they have been carrying out this operation. they say they have been using intelligence, to pinpoint weaponry they say to minimise the civilian casualties. it will be incredibly difficult, given the built environment they are working on. the palestinian authorities are calling it an invasion. they are accusing the israeli military war crimes. how much evidence is there to support their accusations? that

much evidence is there to support their accusations?— their accusations? at this stage it is incredibly _ their accusations? at this stage it is incredibly difficult _ their accusations? at this stage it is incredibly difficult to _ their accusations? at this stage it is incredibly difficult to tell - is incredibly difficult to tell because when an operation like this was launched, very open communications are cut, electricity can be cut, it can be hard to get into the phone contact, it is difficult to know for sure what's going on inside the camp. certainly mohammad akbar as talked about stopping the security cooperation with the israelis as a result of this. this is something the palestinian authority have done before when there has been a large israeli operation, negotiations then take place over the next few days to try and restore the cooperation which is an important part to the way the occupied west bank runs where both sides try to work in tandem with each other around particular security issues. the next few hours and days will be crucial, for one reason to actually see what has gone on within the camps and the

other to see the further palestinian response. you heard the words from the palestinian authority but a lot of people will be looking at gazza and tomas and palestinian islamic jihad and seeing what their response might be. will it be words of condemnation as we have seen from other palestinian factions it be a physical response in the form of rockets? that would further inflame tensions so that is something people will be focusing on in the next few hours and days. will be focusing on in the next few hours and days-— will be focusing on in the next few hours and da s. ., ,, , . hours and days. thank you very much, talkin: to hours and days. thank you very much, talking to us — hours and days. thank you very much, talking to us live _ hours and days. thank you very much, talking to us live from _ hours and days. thank you very much, talking to us live from jerusalem. - talking to us live from jerusalem. we will speak to a spokesperson from the idf but first let us hear from a palestinian voice. he is ahead of the palestinian mission to united kingdom speaking to my colleague, he responded to comments by the israeli prime minister thatjenin camp was a of terrorism.

we must crash the soul of the palestinian people and this is the heart of it. this is what israel is intending to, the crime is keeps committing every week, every day very well documented. the issue is not that, it is clear to all of us, is the impede —— impunity, the lack of accountability. you go to a refugee camp using aeroplanes, drones and thousands of soldiers. not only targeting human beings but you target the infrastructure, the hospitals and the journalists. these are war crimes, crimes against humanity, how do we stop the 75—year—old conflict ongoing? gazza, nablus and hebron are all areas of military occupation and israel is

not protecting itself. let me say this, israel is not protecting itself, there is nothing happening in israel, it is protecting its expansion and colonialism. the people injenin camp arejust defending themselves. joining me now is richard hecht — the international spokesperson for the israeli defence force. thank you forjoining us. you are accused their of war crimes, what a response to that? so accused their of war crimes, what a response to that? 50 i accused their of war crimes, what a response to that?— response to that? so i heard the comments- _ response to that? so i heard the comments. we _ response to that? so i heard the comments. we are _ response to that? so i heard the comments. we are not - response to that? so i heard the comments. we are not fighting i response to that? so i heard the i comments. we are not fighting the palestinian people. i have extensive experience injudean samaria. if you look at times there, it is a complex and disputed area. i am a military person and i will not go into the

politics life injudean samaria is good, we are not fighting with palestinian people. we are on an extensive terrorist —— counter terrorist activity which we have been doing for the last 18 months against hardcore terrorism in the jenin camp. against hardcore terrorism in the jenin camp-— jenin camp. using drones and armoured _ jenin camp. using drones and armoured vehicles, _ jenin camp. using drones and armoured vehicles, how- jenin camp. using drones and armoured vehicles, how can l jenin camp. using drones and i armoured vehicles, how can you jenin camp. using drones and - armoured vehicles, how can you be sure you are reaching the people you say you want to reach within the scams? 50 say you want to reach within the scams? ,, ., ., say you want to reach within the scams? ., , ., ., scams? so we are focusing, again this is a very _ scams? so we are focusing, again this is a very cynical— scams? so we are focusing, again this is a very cynical enemy, - scams? so we are focusing, again this is a very cynical enemy, they | this is a very cynical enemy, they have embedded themselves within a civilian population. jenin camp there are guns and command centres, this is notjust a national uprising, this is a hornet�*s nest of terrorism which we are trying to harm. we are defending ourselves,

these are people that are leaving jenin and coming to attack us on a home front. we had 25 shooting incidents in the last year and before that much more. they have been coming into tel aviv and other places. it has crossed the line and we have to go in and handle it. fine we have to go in and handle it. one ofthe we have to go in and handle it. one of the deadliest _ we have to go in and handle it. one of the deadliest attacks in two decades, last year more palestinian people were killed in the west bank and in two decades, surely an escalation of this violence is not going to find peace anytime soon? first of all, our priority is to defend our people. it is a very simple equation. if they guns are down, and i am not talking about the political horizon are happen between the two nations but if the gowns will be quiet, even

today, the crossings are open. the 0slo accords are working in the majority of the towns, right now there are people coming in and out of israel. the area ofjenin and the camp is a no man's land. it is the effect of guns and we have to handle it. �* , ., effect of guns and we have to handle it. �* i. effect of guns and we have to handle it. are you looking to defend your --eole or it. are you looking to defend your people or exoand _ it. are you looking to defend your people or expand your— it. are you looking to defend your| people or expand your territories? we are not looking to expand our territories. i saw some headlines today, incursion and invasion, we are focused on dismantling terrorist infrastructure in the camp. irate are focused on dismantling terrorist infrastructure in the camp.- infrastructure in the camp. we want to net out infrastructure in the camp. we want to get out of— infrastructure in the camp. we want to get out of there. _ infrastructure in the camp. we want to get out of there. how— infrastructure in the camp. we want to get out of there. how long - infrastructure in the camp. we want to get out of there. how long will i to get out of there. how long will it take for you to get out of there and how many lives will be lost in that time? irate and how many lives will be lost in that time? ~ . and how many lives will be lost in that time?— and how many lives will be lost in that time? ~ ., ., , that time? we are doing everything we can to minimise _ that time? we are doing everything we can to minimise the _ that time? we are doing everything we can to minimise the loss - that time? we are doing everything we can to minimise the loss of- that time? we are doing everything we can to minimise the loss of life, j we can to minimise the loss of life, the numbers right now are eight people that died. they are gunmean terrorists and we are doing

everything we can to minimise the collateral damage. we have been using very small munitions. no one uninvolved up to this point has been killed. we are looking at the situation on the ground, we are advancing slowly and focusing on that infrastructure which we have been distributing all dnr networks, all the visuals. i know there are claims there is no medical treatment there, the ambulances are coming in and out. for people who have been injured. we also have injured soldiers. these are volatile times. we have heard 24 hours for this to continue, 48 hours, how long will it go on for? it continue, 48 hours, how long will it no on for? . ., continue, 48 hours, how long will it no on for? _, , continue, 48 hours, how long will it no on for? , ., , continue, 48 hours, how long will it roonfor? , ., ,., go on for? it could be hours or it could be maybe _ go on for? it could be hours or it could be maybe another - go on for? it could be hours or it could be maybe another day - go on for? it could be hours or it could be maybe another day or. go on for? it could be hours or it. could be maybe another day or two, we are focused on our mission to dismantle that type of activity and

also breaking the mindset of this being as safe haven of terrorists that are acting withinjudaea and samaria and within israel. they see this as a safe haven and somewhere to go and hide. we want to break that mindset. we will be out of there as soon as possible. 0nce that mindset. we will be out of there as soon as possible. once we complete our mission we will be out of there. it is a very complex situation. of there. it is a very complex situation-— of there. it is a very complex situation. ., ,, , ., . ., ., of there. it is a very complex situation. ., ,, . ., ., , situation. thank you. we had a bit of a break-up _ situation. thank you. we had a bit of a break-up they _ situation. thank you. we had a bit of a break-up they are _ situation. thank you. we had a bit of a break-up they are in - situation. thank you. we had a bit of a break-up they are in sound i situation. thank you. we had a bit. of a break-up they are in sound but of a break—up they are in sound but we got the gist of what you're saying. that is the international spokesperson for the israeli defence force. i am joined spokesperson for the israeli defence force. iamjoined by spokesperson for the israeli defence force. i am joined by a professor of in to is a is at the university of roehampton. thank you forjoining us. so the israeli military are calling it a military operation, the palestinian authorities are calling

it an invasion. what do you believe it an invasion. what do you believe it to be? , it to be? there is something in both. it it to be? there is something in both- it is _ it to be? there is something in both- it is a — it to be? there is something in both. it is a large-scale - it to be? there is something in i both. it is a large-scale operation both. it is a large—scale operation but also it is invading into a palestinian territory. but i think what we just heard from both sides, epitomises why we are in this situation because no one is searching for a political solution. there is no military solution because it will be bloody. it has always been bloody and many people lose their lives, many palestinians as we see but any loss of life is not right but the failure is a failure of leadership. the failure is of an occupation that lasts for 56 years now. it is a failure of the international community not to deal with the causes of it. you cannot have military occupation. so yes,

every country has a right to protect but at the same time, you asked this question, the previous speaker is also about expansion because only last week israel announced another 5600 housing units which sends a signal to the palestinians that israel is there for the long term. we heard from richard hecht that he and the idf believe thejenin refugee camp to be a hotbed of insurgency and militants, is that your understanding?— insurgency and militants, is that your understanding? yes, but the ruestion your understanding? yes, but the question is _ your understanding? yes, but the question is why... _ your understanding? yes, but the question is why... there - your understanding? yes, but the question is why... there are i question is why... there are militants in nablus and jenin. if you look at the age, the palestinians who were killed today, they are really young. the question is why they turned into militants?

the answer is because there is a widespread despair among palestinians, they don't see any political horizon. they have the occupation and they despise their own leadership, they seem to be contractors of israeli security. all they see as military occupation, settler violence, settlement expansion so again, i am not here god forbid tojustify expansion so again, i am not here god forbid to justify any violence but anyone who knows anything about the history of occupation will see that at the end of the day, it does not come to a political end, it ends in violence. not come to a political end, it ends in violence-— in violence. with that in mind, if there are so _ in violence. with that in mind, if there are so many _ in violence. with that in mind, if there are so many militants i in violence. with that in mind, if there are so many militants and | there are so many militants and insurgency within the camp, what choice do the idf and israeli government have but to act in this way? there is a lot of pressure on

israel on the government from far right groups to take action. {line israel on the government from far right groups to take action. one of the problems _ right groups to take action. one of the problems for _ right groups to take action. one of the problems for israel... - right groups to take action. one of the problems for israel... those i right groups to take action. one of. the problems for israel... those who extend pressure for this kind of operation, in government and national security... operation, in government and nationalsecurity... it operation, in government and national security... it is hijacked by the right. what is the long—term plan? because what we see is a de facto annexation of the west bank. if they do not look for a political solution that will respect the right of self—determination and respect their human rights and political

rights, there is the issue of 5.7 million palestinian refugees, if they manage to defeat one militant group and other group will emerge unless israel is ready to give the people will not accept living under occupation. people will not accept living under occuation. . ., people will not accept living under occuation. . ~' , ., people will not accept living under occupation-— people will not accept living under occuation. . ,, , . ., occupation. thank you very much for our occupation. thank you very much for your time- — occupation. thank you very much for your time- we _ occupation. thank you very much for your time. we will _ occupation. thank you very much for your time. we will have _ occupation. thank you very much for your time. we will have more i occupation. thank you very much for your time. we will have more in i occupation. thank you very much for your time. we will have more in the | your time. we will have more in the situation injenin later in the programme. we will speak to a former adviser to the palestinian leadership. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. male passengers are being warned of disruption due to an overtime ban by train drivers in the aslef union. 15 companies are being affected from today. it is the latest move in the

—— for calm after another week of rioting. are there any signs of protest taking place this evening? no, this evening is quiet. this is nanterre, the district where the trouble started last week. this is an area of social housing, something of an architectural innovation of their time but at the bottom of the towers is a neighbourhood where there is burnt out cars and patches where cars have been removed. buildings where every window on the ground floor had been broken. i have to say that at least one bbc team has been told in no uncertain terms to leave this evening so we're not going any further than this but the hope is that the violence we have seen over the last few days does not re—occur. there have been a lot of police promised by the government to be on duty tonight, something like

45,000 officers. we have been through nanterre on the car but we haven't seen too many police on duty on the streets tonight but the hope is there will not be a repeat. perhaps it is possible there has been a turning point in the trouble we have seen over the last week. in many towns and cities in france. that came in a suburb of paris to the south—east, where the neared their took a lot of people from his area onto the streets and held a protest to say he did not want to see any more trouble and we did need to get some order to be restored. a lot of people who were with him when agreeing with that. he was attacked two days ago, his house was. he was in the town hall but his wife and children were at home when somebody drove a car at their house and his wife was injured. so he has become

somebody who these protesters, counter protesters to what is happening here are saying there needs to be an end to this. thank ou ve needs to be an end to this. thank you very much. — needs to be an end to this. thank you very much, our _ needs to be an end to this. thank| you very much, our correspondent needs to be an end to this. thank. you very much, our correspondent in paris. here, drivers who bought their petrol from a supermarket forecourt last year paid an extra 6p per litre because of a lack of competition between companies. the competition and markets authority says it means those customers have paid around £900 million in additional costs. the government is now promising a change in the law to increase competition. let us go live to our guest howard cox. he is running for mayor of london. thank you forjoining us. presumably the ship or something you welcome? , ., ~ presumably the ship or something you welcome? , ., ,, , ., presumably the ship or something you welcome? , ., ,, i. ., presumably the ship or something you welcome? , ., ,, ., ., welcome? yes, thank you for having me on. i welcome? yes, thank you for having me on- i am — welcome? yes, thank you for having me on. i am delighted _ welcome? yes, thank you for having me on. i am delighted that - welcome? yes, thank you for having me on. i am delighted that after i me on. i am delighted that after campaigning, i presented it to

robertjenrick in 2018, the idea of having a pump watch pricing regulator. he was very excited about the anterior five years later, at last it is being implemented because evidence has been found of profiteering in the supply chain. what have these higher prices meant for drivers? , ' for drivers? huge suffered -- suffering _ for drivers? huge suffered -- suffering for _ for drivers? huge suffered -- suffering for most _ for drivers? huge suffered -- suffering for most drivers, i suffering for most drivers, especially so traders like plumbers and electricians, really help some. when you talk about an extra 13p per litre regarding diesel, multiplied by the average family car that is 55 litres, £8 extra they have to fight to do that and so they have to earn more with taxation so 10— £12. it does hurt especially on a cost of living crisis. what is so annoying as this government has allowed this to happen totally unchecked. we have been calling for this, everybody knows and the fuel supply chain that

has been profiteering going on and yet the government has allowed it to go on maybe because they get extra vat because of the places. so go on maybe because they get extra vat because of the places.— vat because of the places. so how will it help drivers _ vat because of the places. so how will it help drivers from _ vat because of the places. so how will it help drivers from nao i vat because of the places. so how will it help drivers from nao own? | will it help drivers from nao own? we hope the idea is we get information to show where they are fair and transparent prices at the pump is arrived at in a transparent fashion, when oil prices go up or down or exchange rates go up or down. we might be seeing some honest pricing at the pumps. we estimate currently 10% too high and hat pricing at the pumps. we estimate currently 10% too high and batten too high and diesel is 15p too high so it is affecting every part of the economy and in a cost of living crisis it is damaging. i economy and in a cost of living crisis it is damaging.— economy and in a cost of living crisis it is damaging. i am sure it will be welcomed _ crisis it is damaging. i am sure it will be welcomed by _ crisis it is damaging. i am sure it will be welcomed by many i crisis it is damaging. i am sure it| will be welcomed by many people crisis it is damaging. i am sure it i will be welcomed by many people who use their cards on a regular basis. howard cox there. you are watching

the context on bbc news. hello there. we start off with the news thatjune was the hottest on record and we absolutely annihilated the previous record. normally we see these records broken by a tenth of a degree or so. this year we beat the previous record by nine tenths of a degree celsius. and scientists at the met office tell us that the likelihood of beating the previous record had doubled as a result of the emissions of greenhouse gases in recent decades, and if we carry on like this, junes like the one just gone will come round once every two years by the time we're into the 1950s. now, today's been a very showery kind of day. some heavy deluges, some thunderstorms rumbling away across parts of the midlands, parts of northern england as well. and we've got more of those showers to come overnight as well. now, some lengthy spells of rain push southwards across scotland, reaching the central belt by dawn. some showers for northern ireland. and we'll start to see an area of rain move back in across parts

of south—west england and southern wales as well. 0n into the forecast for tuesday. well, it is going to be an unsettled day as these two weather fronts kind of merge together to give some longer outbreaks of rain, i think, across parts of eastern england. so, expect rain at times. i think this area of rain could end up being a lot more extensive, working across east anglia, southern england and could be very slow to let up as well. further northwards we've got our band of rain sliding southwards across scotland and northern ireland, probably turning a bit more showery in nature. and those temperatures still a little bit disappointing for the time of year, 17 to 19 celsius. but i fear, although we saw some interruptions to play at wimbledon on monday, i suspect we'll have much lengthier interruptions around for tuesday, so the weather could get in the way of play for some time. by wednesday, low pressure still with us but it's weakening and although there will be some showers around the majority of those, i think, will be across parts of west scotland and northern ireland. elsewhere, probably a dry morning.

there might be a few showers building through the day across england and wales but pretty isolated, i think there will be much bigger gaps between any showers and that means more in the way of dry weather, more sunshine, and that should help boost temperatures into the low 20s. now, towards the end of the week we're going to see a slow—moving weather front across the west bringing heavy rain, might see some flooding issues across parts of northern ireland. this rain band looks really intense. but further eastwards, suddenly winds will start to drag up some much warmer air and so temperatures could hit 27 degrees in london towards the end of the week.
