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. the un's nuclear agency is expected to give its view on japan's plan to release treated waste water from the crippled nucleophilic achievement powerplant into the pacific ocean. police in hong kong offer rewards for the arrest of eight activists in exile — accused of breaking national security laws. we will speak to one of the wanted activist. live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news. it's newsday.

thank you for being with us. 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 nine people have been killed, and dozens injured. our 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 in jenin. 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. to japan now where the loss of the un nuclear agency is visiting this week ahead of plans to release treated radioactive waste water from the four shima nuclear power plant. back in march 2011 the facility was hit by a huge earthquake and tsunami which destroyed its cooling systems and caused three reactors to melt, making it one of the world's worst ever nuclear disasters. the plan to release the treated water has caused anger injapan itself as well as neighbouring countries. our reporter is in tokyo looking ahead to the report and japan's plans to release water.-

plans to release water. rafael grossi's visit _ plans to release water. rafael grossi's visit is _ plans to release water. rafael grossi's visit is expected - plans to release water. rafael grossi's visit is expected to i grossi's visit is expected to last four days starting from today we understand he is going today we understand he is going to meet the japanese prime minister at some point today but also visit the nuclear site in fukushima himself. the iea either nuclear watchdog experts have been at the site and have been making assessments about the safety of the water for the past few months now. mr grossi's visit is essentially the conclusion of this assessment and the presentation of the report. there is a great deal of anxiety about the government's plans to release the treated water into the pacific ocean among the public, especially among the community in fukushima. we are speaking to fishermen who are worried about their livelihood. it has been years and there is still stigma attacked two for consumer fish and just about the time where they are able to get on their feet and able to sell their fish they feel that this will be another big load.

the government, tapco, the company that runs the powerplant say there is nothing to worry about stop this water has been building up for years now and is now feeling more than 1000 tanks. 1.3 tons of water and if you want to imagine that, it is about 500 olympic swimming pools worth of water that now needs to be released because the running out of space. most of this water still has radioactive levels that cannot make it safe to release into the sea but some of it has been treated. the radioactive material has been taken out, a portion of it, but there is one element, tritium, that cannot be separated. this worries many people. the company and the government have been saying that the water will be treated to levels that are under the legal national level but also it will be deluded before being

released into the sea. that has done nothing to reassure people because, again, this is not just about the science of the technicality of it, it is about the perception, the fact that this is treated radioactive water being released into the sea. this is not only angered people here injapan it has also angered japan's neighbours. for example china called this an extremely irresponsible decision and there is anxiety as well in south korea as my colleague has been looking at the public sentiment there.- been looking at the public sentiment there. here in south korea there _ sentiment there. here in south korea there has _ sentiment there. here in south korea there has been _ sentiment there. here in south korea there has been great - korea there has been great concern about the release, the potential release of water from the focal shima nuclear power plant. there has been panic buying of sea salt for fear that future supplies could be contaminated and south korean government here has had to release some of its own stockpile to meet demand. opposition politician last week went on hunger strike, or

fasted, outside the japanese embassy and the south korean government has been given daily news briefings to reassure its population and there have been protests. on saturday i walked past the major demonstration in central seoul and the police had blocked off a long city roadin had blocked off a long city road in the centre of soul in orderfor road in the centre of soul in order for thousands of people to express their opinion, their opposition. the government here in south korea is in a tricky position because the president has made it his mission this year to try and improve relations with japan. those relations with japan. those relations have been poor over recent years, mainly because of issues related to japan's wartime aggression and the colonisation of korea. but the government here in south korea has tried to mend those ties and tried to persuade its people that all will be well with the release of water. last week it said it studied ocean

currents and found that the waste water would not actually reach south korean shores for ten years, despite the fact that the two countries are next to each other. despite all that, people are still worried and an opinion poll suggested four of five people here in south korea were concerned about the release of water. they stopped just here in south korea of course. other countries across the region are also worried about the release and for more on that i am joined by my colleague in sydney, phil mercer. here in the southern _ sydney, phil mercer. here in the southern pacific- sydney, phil mercer. here in the southern pacific there i sydney, phil mercer. here in the southern pacific there is | the southern pacific there is anxiety— the southern pacific there is anxiety and concern that plans to release that waste water from — to release that waste water from japan's stricken nuclear power— from japan's stricken nuclear power plant in the south pacific _ power plant in the south pacific. fishermen have been explaining that they fear a legacy— explaining that they fear a legacy of toxicity if these plans _ legacy of toxicity if these plans go ahead and they fear that— plans go ahead and they fear that the _ plans go ahead and they fear that the release of this waste water— that the release of this waste water will harm not only their

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 activists have previously been a source for other allegations such as electoral fraud but this is the first time that we hear from this is the first time that we hearfrom hong kong's national security police that they are wanted in the police are offering financial incentives for their capture. their alleged crimes according to police include collusion with foreign forces, advocating for sanctions against hong kong

these eight people. human rights watch have put —— called the arrest warrants an indictment of the once well—regarded hong kong law enforcement and judiciary and calls on foreign governments to offer protection to those who are being threatened by beijing. that was martin nipper bbc chinese reporting from hong kong for us. i am nowjoined chinese reporting from hong kong for us. iam nowjoined by ted hui, one of the eight people mention from that wanted list. hejoins us people mention from that wanted list. he joins us live from australia. thank you for joining us. firstly, what was your reaction when you heard the news about a bounty being offered? �* ., , , , offered? i'm not surprised, myself. in the _ offered? i'm not surprised, myself. in the past - offered? i'm not surprised, myself. in the past i - offered? i'm not surprised, myself. in the past i have l offered? i'm not surprised, i myself. in the past i have had several similar warrants of arrest but the bounty is the first time. i have a feeling thatitis first time. i have a feeling that it is ridiculous and hilarious at the same time because it is not like people

like us and advocates overseas for freedom and democracy, like us and advocates overseas forfreedom and democracy, we are not living underground so it doesn't make sense for the regime to make use of a bounty to pursue us. so i think it is anotherfine example, it to pursue us. so i think it is another fine example, it adds to the weight of the persecutions against the hong kong diaspora and those who were advocating freedom and democracy overseas but at the same time i do not feel threatened and i do not think my personal safety is compromised because of that because we know and the world knows that the ccp regime has no means of pursuing us while we are in free countries. the way australia or any other free country in the world is. we have also spoken to nathan law who was on the list and he says he feels he needs to be more careful about what you're

saying is in australia you don't feel need to be more careful even with this latest move? ., �* , , move? no, i'll 'ust live my math move? no, i'll 'ust live my normal life _ move? no, i'll 'ust live my normal life as h move? no, i'lljust live my normal life as usual- move? no, i'lljust live my normal life as usual and i normal life as usual and maintain my public presence and the media, and so i don't feel that my personal safety is threatened because i don't think anyone would be up to that bounty. they can tell my whereabouts, it is public knowledge, but there is no way that they can get us back to hong kong or china, so i don't worry about it. i think it is just political gestures made by the ccp regime if they want the world to know that they are after us, the hong kong diaspora, so we are sending a message that the threat is there, so don't do anything against them. i think it is more for the hong kong diaspora as a whole than the eight of us. i as a whole than the eight of us. ., ., as a whole than the eight of us, ., ., ., as a whole than the eight of us. ., ., ., a ., as a whole than the eight of us. i want to ask a personal question. — us. i want to ask a personal question. if— us. i want to ask a personal question, if i _ us. i want to ask a personal question, ifi may. - us. i want to ask a personal question, ifi may. how- us. i want to ask a personall question, ifi may. how does question, if i may. how does this make you feel? even as someone who used to go to hong

tonight though it is not looking bad. we are told 16,000 police officers on the streets, i suspect they are not in this neighbourhood but other parts of paris, properly central paris, where the reputation of the champs alize would be a great deal for emmanuel macron to handle at this stage. he has visited a senior police officer tonight to show support but other than that things are relatively quiet. we drove around nanterre behind me a few minutes ago and very few people on the streets. some of the writing has started later in the night but i think it's possible but a corner has been turned. it's also interesting the crowdfunding for the police officer who killed nahel getting more than $1 million. that goes to show how divided the country is.— the country is. that gofundme . a i e the country is. that gofundme -a . e was the country is. that gofundme page was set _ the country is. that gofundme page was set no _ the country is. that gofundme page was set up quite - the country is. that gofundme page was set up quite soon - page was set up quite soon after the incident broke out

the average monthly temperature was 15.8 c, 60 which was 0.9 celsius above the previous highest. records were broken and 72 of the 97 areas in the uk from which temperature data is collected. the k—pop and blackpink have become the first ever korean band to headline a major. the goal group who have a combined 356 million instagram followers played to a crowd of 65,000 fans in london's hyde park. 17 days to go before the women's world cup kicks off and one of the co—host, australia, ticket sales have been so high that bigger stadiums are being pressed into action. but 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. kia ora. enthusiasm is growing and thankfully more than 1.1 million tickets across aotearoa and australia have side, making it one of the biggest if not the biggest women sporting eventin the biggest women sporting event in history which is rather exciting. only about 250,000 tickets have been sold in new zealand and i think that's for a range of things. new zealanders are notoriously good at leaving things it's a last minute i think it was the uptake when assignment start on home soil on 20 july. we saw it last year in a world rugby and this is the first major women's export that new zealand has hosted in the last 18 months. we had a woman's cricket, and the rugby run by new zealand and now the fofa football world cup. i and now the fofa football world cu -. . and now the fofa football world cu . _ ., ., and now the fofa football world cu. ., ., ., and now the fofa football world cup. i want to ask about women's _ cup. i want to ask about women's sporting - cup. i want to ask about | women's sporting events cup. i want to ask about - women's sporting events but for

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 southeast. 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 does 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 airfrom 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.

way australia or any other free country in the world is. the chip war continues. china slaps export controls on their —— rare metals used in the manufacturing of semiconductors. the hong kong stock exchange looks to lure more international investors to the city even as tensions between the us and china's show no signs of easing. hello there and welcome
