welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm mariko oi. the headlines. street battles rage in the occupied west bank — as hundreds of israeli soldiers carry out a large—scale operation in the city ofjenin. palestinian officials say about 3,000 people residing injenin refugee camp have left their homes due to the assault. police in hong kong offer rewards for the arrest of eight activists in exile — accused of breaking national security laws. last month was the hottestjune on record for the uk — with fears more fish could die in the future if temperatures continue to rise. and the so called supermoon, has people mesmerised all over the world, as it appears brighter and larger than usual.

we begin in the occupied west bank — where the israeli military has launched a major operation against, what it claims are militants, based in the sprawling and long—established refugee camp injenin. the palestinian authorities say, it's simply an invasion — and that it should be seen as a war crime. at least eight people have been killed, and dozens injured. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell reports... the day ended as it had begun injenin — with battles raging. the israeli military had used a surprise drone strike in the early hours to target what it said

was the headquarters of local militants. armed palestinians began fighting back from inside the city's crowded, decades—old refugee camp. hundreds of israeli soldiers are on the ground. the israeli military says they're seizing weapons and explosives. the israeli prime minister said action was overdue. translation: the israeli defence force began - an extensive operation last night against terrorism injenin. in recent months, jenin has become a haven for terrorism. we are putting an end to it. palestinian medics have been struggling to reach the dozens of injured. israel says it's acting on precise intelligence and doesn't seek to harm civilians, but many have been caught in the crossfire. 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. you get those cracks of gunshots coming from thejenin refugee camp, which isjust up there on the hill. sometimes we get loud explosions as well. even though the israeli military has said that this is a closed zone, we're not allowed, as journalists, to get any closer, you can get a real sense from here ofjust how intense the fighting is. israeli security forces released these pictures, showing them rounding up suspected militants. in recent months, many palestinians who have carried out deadly attacks on israelis have come from this area. others have hid here. and even before today, jenin�*s seen repeated deadly israeli army raids. palestinian officials say enough is enough. translation: we are again. calling the international world to provide urgent international protection to our people and impose penalties

against the occupation regime. and tonight, while this military operation isn't over yet, there was a reprieve for some palestinian families — the israeli military allowing them to leave the camp, some raising their hands or waving makeshift white flags in a gesture of surrender. events in the middle east are watched closely in america — where the us has said it backs israel's right to defend itself — but has also urged the protection of civilians. live now to los angeles and our correspondent peter bowes: peter — what is the us making of this? the situation is indeed being closely monitored by washington, given that it is a very sensitive situation, especially considering washington's very close relationship with israel. a

supportive relationship, historically. we have not heard anything directly from president yet we did have a short statement from the state department would say we support israel's security and fight to defend its people against hamas and other terrorist groups and it is imperative to take all possible precautions to prevent the loss of civilian lives. some critics of the united states who might have liked to see that statement go a little bit further, perhaps calling for a de—escalation in terms of the hostilities. but for now thatis the hostilities. but for now that is the stance of washington. and there is a wider issue here governing the middle east us relations and thatis middle east us relations and that is the decider of the biter and administration to normally set relations between israel and arab states notably saudi arabia, but antony blinken the secretary of state speaking about this very recently saying that as long as there is a fire burning in the

back yard, as he put it, essentially referring to violence between israelis and palestinians, as long as that is the situation that there is no chance or very little chance, it will be very tough to move towards a more normal situation or even closer to any kind of diplomatic relations between and saudi arabia. still to come a bit later in the programme — a special report from the front line of the fighting in ukraine. and how one sharp—eyed theme park visitor in america helped prevent potential disaster — when they noticed a huge crack in one of the beams supporting the track. but first... after days of violence and clashes between protesters and police on the streets of paris, and other french cities, the situation seems to have calmed, but there's still a huge police presence in major areas. the protests started when a teenager was shot dead by police in a western suburb of paris. but rallies have been held at town halls across the country, urging an end to the violence.

here's our correspondent tom symonds with the latest. we've just taken a drive around at nantere which is the neighbourhood just behind me, the tall buildings that are mainly public housing and there are multiple burnt cars, sections of road that are burnt, there is one building that has had all of its glass windows smashed and clearly that will all cost a lot of money to put right. tonight, though, does not looking too bad. we are told 16,000 police officers are on the streets i suspect they are not in this neighbourhood, i suspect they are in other parts of paris, probably in central paris where the reputational damage of perhaps rioting on the champs—elysees would be a great deal for emmanuel macron to handle at the stage. he is actually visiting a senior police officer to show support but apart from that things are relatively quiet, sissy we drove around nanterre

behind me just a few minutes ago and very few people on the streets. some of the rioting has started later in the night but i think it is possible that a corner has been turned. it's also interesting that crowdfunding for the police officer who killed nahel managing to get more than $1 million that really goes to show how divided the country is. that gofundme page was set up quite soon after this incident broke out. it has reach as you say more than 1.1 billion euros in the tag line that goes with the appeal on that gofundme page says, this was an officerjust doing hisjob. worth pointing out though that police here have quite controversial operating methods which involve the use of, potentially, firearms is to stop a vehicle getting

away or a suspect getting away, one of the big demands for the rioters such as there have been demands is that that police rule or police operating guideline be reviewed. macron says that he will not be doing that, he says these are not whole neighbourhoods that are rising up they are individuals within neighbourhoods, individuals that he has described as delinquents. the us has condemned hong kong's attempt to apply the national security law outside its territory. it comes after police there took the unusual step of publicly offering rewards for the arrest of eight exiled activists. they're accused of breaking china's national security laws, which came into force three years ago. from hong kong, here's martin yip of bbc chinese. police are offering these rewards to any member of the public who can provide information on those wanted people and their related crimes, they say. some of these

activists have previously been sought for, other allegations such as electoral fraud but this is the first time we hear from hong kong's national security police that they are wanted and that the police are offering financial incentives for their capture. the alleged crimes include collusion with foreign forces, advocating for sanctions against the hong kong government, incitement to secession and subversion. translation:— secession and subversion. translation: , ., translation: some people have continued to _ translation: some people have continued to engage _ translation: some people have continued to engage in _ continued to engage in activities and dangerous national securities. activities and dangerous nationalsecurities. i activities and dangerous national securities. i would like to point out one point that the national security law of hong kong has extra territories in fact. please have offered _ territories in fact. please have offered bounties i territories in fact. please| have offered bounties for territories in fact. please - have offered bounties for other types of crime, but this is one of the highest being offered in recent times. they do admit that they may not be able to capture these people unless

they ever return to hong kong. since the introduction of the hong kong national security law by beijing some 260 people have been arrested including some high—profile pro—democracy politicians, activists, media bosses and journalists. and others have left hong kong like these eight people. human rights watch have called today's arrest warrants and indictments of hong kong's once well regarded law enforcement and judiciary. and a cause on foreign governments to offer protection in those, and their words, being threatened by beijing. staying with that story, and the uk's foreign secretary james cleverly has criticised china, for issuing those arrest warrants under its national security act. he described it as an attempt to intimidate and silence individuals in the uk and overseas.

and he added that the uk strongly objects to the national security law which china has imposed on hong kong, which he says is in breach of sino—british agreements. and i'll be speaking to ted ho—ey, one of those activists who the hong kong authorities have offered a reward for conviction — in one hour's time here on newsday. thisjune was the hottest on record in the uk — according to the met office — with an average temperature of 15.8 degrees celsius. the previous record — 14.9 degrees celsius — was reached in both 1940 and i976. there are many consequences of higher temperatures — and experts say they're one of the reasons that large numbers of fish have been dying in britain's rivers and canals. 0ur climate editor justin rowlatt reports. they were scooping the fish out of this canal in their thousands on the weekend.

it had been hit by another in an unprecedented series of fish death incidents that are driven, in part, by the record high temperatures injune. the problem? 0xygen levels in the canal have plummeted. it's an oxygen reader that is telling me its 1.7% oxygen when it should be 60% to 100%. it was like a carpet of fish across the canal. you could walk over them, it was unbelievable. so what is causing this? here is what happens. as the water warms, it holds less oxygen. normally, fish can cope with that but if you also get a big storm, it washes in cold water and pollutants. now, that kills algae in the water, bacteria eat that algae, they flourish in their billions and they also take up oxygen, and that is when you can get these catastrophic collapses. thisjune didn'tjust edge ahead of previous temperature records,

it smashed past them according to the met office. when you look back in the series that goes back to 1884, last time you saw anything close to that was way back in 19110 and 1976. what is staggering about this last month's is it's about a full 1 degree above what we should be getting at that time of year. the met office says man—made climate change made these record temperatures twice as likely. what's more, it says by 2050, we can expect every otherjune to be as hot as this one. forfarmers, that means a fundamental rethink of the crops they grow. we will be growing a more sort of mediterranean—type crop than the traditional crops grown in this country. spring barley and spring wheat just won't cope with a hot summer. that could make some of our staple foods more expensive. the canal and river trust is using pumps to spray water to try and drive up oxygen levels and they have tested

the water for pollution. it is expensive and time—consuming work and they have been dealing with an exceptional number of these incidents. it's unprecedented. six incidents last summer, 60 incidentsjust in the month ofjune alone and so that is, you know, that's massively significantly more. climate change is already putting many uk ecosystems under severe stress. some fish have survived here, they desperately gulp oxygen near the surface but that brings a deadly new peril — swarms of seagulls are feasting on them. justin rowlatt, bbc news, solihull. worrying video has emerged from a theme park in the us state of north carolina — after a visitor filmed a roller—coaster , running on a support which seemed to be completely broken. take a look at this footage —

you can see the beam in the middle of the shot, with what looks like a crack running from the top left to bottom right. as you can see — when the roller—coaster cars go round — the whole structure shifts by a noticeable amount — with daylight visible through it. the ride, known as fury 325, has now been shut down for inspection by maintenance teams — and there are no reports of anyone being hurt. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. the lord chancellor has asked the parole board — to reconsider its decision to allow the double child killer colin pitchfork to be released from prison. he was jailed for life for raping and murdering two 15 year old girls, dawn ashworth and lynda mann in the 1980s. he was recommended for parole earlier this year — but friends of the families of his victims said it was like putting them through torture over and over again. an investigation into a fire,

in which a mother and two children lost their lives in cambridge on friday has concluded that it was probably caused by an e—bike which was being charged at their home. the fire service is now urging people to avoid charging e—bike or e—scooter batteries overnight. king charles has arrived in scotland in preparation for being presented with scotland's crown jewels. he received the keys to the city of edinburgh and was presented a new ceremonial sword, the �*elizabeth sword'. you're live with bbc news. its been a month, since ukraine started its counter—offensive against russian forces. progress has been slow, as president zelensky has admitted publicly. one of the reasons is the significant number of minefields left by the russians, which are causing loss of life and serious injury to many ukrainian soldiers.

the bbc�*s andrew harding sent this report from the front line in eastern ukraine. that most of them now advancing on foot are struggling with russian minefields. we have seen injuries, we have heard stories from a lot of soldiers and we wanted to illustrate the growing threat and what in the most part has been an altar three war with shrapnel injuries, now infantryman are really concerned about the issue of landmines. so we went and restarted our report on the south—east front line in a recently liberated ukrainian village. a flimsy pontoon bridge as we head towards ukraine's southern front. in a landscape blasted by artillery and rocket fire,

a different danger now faces ukrainian troops as they fight to recover territory. russian mines. they're everywhere. soldiers stumbling across yet another on the roadside. is it a claymore? and it's still live? this is a claymore mine they've just discovered, still active, so i think we need to probably move away. well back. as we pull back, ukrainian engineers move in cautiously to defuse it. "detonate it," he says, "and you're talking about 30 or a0 casualties." "there are mines everywhere," says dimitro. "they scare me more than anything else. "two of our most experienced men lost a leg each this week."

grim drone footage of a ukrainian unit trapped in a russian minefield. medics already treating several wounded men. then, this soldier steps on another mine but, somehow, clambers to safety. we are having to be very careful where you walk here. a lot of russian mines left behind and in the fields along the front lines, vast acres of russian minefields. and it's because of those mines, ukrainians say, that they are struggling to make the kind of strategic breakthrough they need to in order to change the course of this war. a ukrainian engineer shows some of the russian devices he's disarmed. both sides are accused of using banned antipersonnel mines. in his bunker, a ukrainian commander tells me the counteroffensive is on course, but going slowly. "that's because unlike the russians, we are trying to keep our casualties to the minimum," he says.

but could a ukrainian breakthrough be imminent? intercepted russian radio messages hint at collapsing morale. "50 of our men ran away," this russian soldier is caught saying. for ukrainian forces, every step forward here remains a risk. but they are advancing through the minefields nonetheless, filming themselves as they liberate their country, field by field, trench by trench. andrew harding, bbc news in eastern ukraine. just 17 days to go before the womens' world cup kicks off — and in one of the co—hosts, australia, ticket sales have been so high that bigger stadiums are being pressed into action. but in new zealand, interest in the tournament seems

to be a little bit lower. i spoke to a zoe george, a senior sports reporter at stuff, new zealand's largest news website, if enthusiasm is building up. enthusiasm is growning and thankfully more than 1.1 million tickets across the places have sold making it one of the biggest women sporting event in history. but only about 250,000 tickets have sold to games here in new zealand. i think it is for a range of things. new zealanders are notoriously bad at leaving things to the last minute and i imagine we will see an uptick in ticket sales once the tournament starts. if you are on home soil at the moment. that's what we saw last year during the rugby world cup.

we have to remember that this is the third major women's world cup that new zealand has had in the last 18 months we've had cricket, rugby and now we have the fifa world football cup. i want to ask about women sporting events as well but for viewers outside of the country, how big is football in new zealand? it is growing. we are a rugby nation, our biggest brand is rugby all blacks, slightly followed by the black marker but we see a number of registered players every year in the football ferns are have lost their last ten games which is not what you really want in the build up to a football broke up on home soil but they have one final friendly against vietnam onjuly, the tenth before the big opening game of the fifa world cup onjuly 20 against norway. tickets in the big, game that everyone will be watching against netherlands and wellington on the 27th, bits of replay for the final

of the 2019 world cup finals. so it will be good fun, hopefully we will see thousands and thousands of fans come into new zealand over the next six weeks and hopefully it will be kiwis inspired to come hobby and join the action. would you say that excitement towards women sporting events, has been building up in the country? oh, yes. there has been a huge commitment from our government of last few years. we implemented a women and girls strategy about five years ago that saw more investment into women's and girls sports including for these major events. so to see something like the fifa world football cup come to new zealand and although it is not our number one sport, it is growing, it is for the positive. one of the things that we have to remember, just like women in the uk, women in new zealand were effectively banned from playing football for about 50 years between the early 1920s until the 1970s. imagine what we could have achieved and what will

principle could have looked like if we got in and were able to play. a bit of lunar news for you now... if you think the moon looks a little bit bigger and brighter than normal tonight — that's because it's a full buck super moon — and it's about 21,000 kilometres closer than usual. here it is shining shines over the ancient temple of poseidon on cape sounion in greece. in case you were wondering — the name buck moon comes from the new antlers that begin to grow from the forehead of a buck deer at this time of year. you have been watching newsday. stay with us. back with business news shortly but for now thank you for watching the programme.

hello there. weather conditions are remaining on the unsettled side for the time of year, all thanks to low pressure. we could see some pretty wet weather across the south and the south—east of the country through tuesday. probably the best of the sunshine a bit further northwards. but even here, for much of the rest of the country away from the south, there'll be plenty of showers around, too. now we've got two weather fronts around. this one's a weakening one in the north. this one is a developing one. and this is going to bring some wet weather to southern britain through this morning. and the rain will pep up, become heavier, in fact, as we head through the morning across the south and the south—east, maybe some thundery bursts in there. this weather fronts across scotland and northern ireland will be weakening as it moves southwards, and on either side, it'll be sunshine and showers. these sorts of temperatures are below par for the time of year, but depending on how much sunshine we get in the south does depend on the temperatures. at the moment, it looks like it could be quite wet.

temperatures around the mid—teens for the south—east. so we could see some significant disruptions to play at wimbledon with this rain, which will tend to last through the afternoon, perhaps into the evening, turning heavier as it develops into an area of low pressure. it doesn't look like the low countries will bear the brunt of that. elsewhere, it's clear spells and a few showers to start wednesday. so there's that area of low pressure heading towards denmark, deepening as it does so. for us, we're in between weather systems on wednesday, so not a bad day, i think. there will be plenty of sunshine from the word go, but then showers could develop anywhere. most of them will be across scotland and northern ireland, closer to this area of low pressure, and some of them could be heavy, maybe thundery for western scotland. temperature—wise, maybe a degree or so up because the winds will be lighter and maybe some more sunshine around, so up to 21 degrees. and then for thursday, this area of low pressure starts to push towards the west of the country. higher pressure begins to build towards the near continent. so i think thursday, not a bad—looking day. we start to switch our winds up from the south. that will be drawing up some warm air from

france and iberia. so, with more sunshine around, winds coming up from the south, we could see higher temperatures, 22 or 23 degrees there. this is the pressure set—up for the end of the week, friday and the weekend. a deep low out to the west. this weather front will bring some thundery rain to the west of the country. but for england and wales, we'll be drawing up a southerly wind. so it could be quite warm on friday, with some sunshine in the south, but with low pressure nearby, there will always been an increasing threat of showers and thunderstorms.
