live from london, this is bbc news. thousands of palestinians leavejenin, as israel continues its major military operation in the occupied west bank. china accuses britain of harbouring activists who've fled hong kong, after taking part in pro—democracy protests. in the uk, tenants with children or pets may struggle to find an available rental property, as the bbc has found that thousands of adverts say they are not welcome. australia's prime minister responds to rishi sunak�*s claim that the controversial dismissal in the second ashes test was "just not cricket". and, if we hadn't had enough social platforms apps on the phone, a new one is coming. meta launches "threads", with plans to compete against twitter.

hello. i'm sally bundock. we begin in the occupied west bank, where palestinian officials say about 3,000 people have fled their homes in the refugee camp in the town ofjenin, since israel started a major military operation there, overnight between sunday and monday. the israeli government says the counter—terrorism action will continue for as long as is needed. palestinian politicians have described it as an invasion. at least nine palestinians have been killed. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest. 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. gunfire. you get those cracks of gunshots coming from thejenin refugee camp, which is just 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. gunfire intensifies. 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. these are live pictures in jenin, it isjust these are live pictures in jenin, it is just after seven o'clock in the morning there. we will be led to our correspondence a little later here on bbc news. the chinese embassy in london has accused britain of sheltering fugitives, while hong kong's chief executive said eight pro—democracy activists wanted for alleged national security offences would be "pursued for life." john lee told reporters

that he was urging the eight to give themselves up, adding that otherwise they would spend their days in fear. the british foreign secretary, james cleverly, sharply criticised the move, saying his government would not tolerate attempts by china to silence individuals in the uk or overseas. here is hong kong's chief executive. translation: wherever they are, we will go after them as long - as they are alive. any persons can assist the police in arresting these people, all information will be kept confidential. based on the reward notice and eventual outcome, anybody providing information will be eligible for the reward, including relatives and friends of these people. anna kwok, who lives in the united states, is one of the eight affected. she's also the executive director of the hong kong democracy council, and received the news yesterday morning. she gave her reaction to my colleague sumi somaskanda. ijust got up at 6am and i saw my phone which blew

up with messages asking me what my thoughts were on the arrest warrant. and i thought to myself, arrest warrant, why? apparently i have a bounty on my head, $1,000,000 hong kong dollar bounty, and the first second, i was shocked, but in the second second, i didn't really care much because i thought that is exactly the kind of thing that the hong kong government and the chinese communist party would do, which is intimidate people into not doing anything and silencing them. and that is why immediately ithought, ok, ishould make this a big thing definitely talk about the transnational repression going on here and the scare tactics as well as how the hong kong government is just trying to see by which point their hands will be smacked and told to back off. they have been trying to push that line lower and lower to see how far they can go to continue their human rights abuses internationally.

so, in the end, i actually got more motivated because i think, you know, the arrest warrant means that i am doing something right, and i also realised in the press conference, they highlighted my previous calls for sanctioning national securityjudges and prosecutors in hong kong and that is exactly the work that i have to continue doing. you mention the international community. the us and the uk have condemned this arrest warrant are you at all worried about your safety here in the us and will you continue to speak out, as you say? i definitely have a certain level of concern about my physical safety but at the end of the day i would definitely continue to speak out because what i am going through right now is so little and minor compared to the 1,500 political prisoners in hong kong and i also have gotten in touch with the us government and congress, as well as other officials, who should be informed,

so that is definitely good that they have it on their radar. have you asked for specific protections from the us government? it has done something in communication. it has done something in communication. we're still figuring out what is the best step forward myself personally, of course, i would have to be more vigilant and more careful where i travel to, who i talked to and that sort of thing, but at the end of the day it is something experienced by every single activist in hong kong, really. it is not limited to just us eight. let's ta ke let's take a look at what is happening now here in the uk. bank chief executives have been summoned by the uk's financial watchdog to address concerns that savings rates are not rising as fast as mortgages. bosses at lloyds, hsbc, natwest and ba rclays are to meet the financial conduct authority on thursday. higher interest rates have seen banks raise mortgage costs but there are concerns that higher returns are not being passed on as quickly to savers. chancellorjeremy hunt has said it is an "issue "which needs solving".

analysis by the bbc has found thousands of adverts for rental properties say that tenants with children or pets are not welcome. there are no laws explicitly stopping this, but mps are considering more protections for renters in england. under existing equality laws, blanket bans on children have been shown to indirectly discriminate against women. our personal finance correspondent kevin peachy has more. it is almost a full—time job. sarai has been searching for somewhere to rent for a year without any luck.— without any luck. there is a bi . without any luck. there is a big problem _ without any luck. there is a big problem with _ without any luck. there is a big problem with having - big problem with having children under the age of 18. that's a big barrier. being a single parent on benefits is another big barrier. also the fact that i'm a student is a big barrier, so there's all these hurdles that i'm having to jump over, these hurdles that i'm having tojump over, and then i find another one, and then i find another one, and then i find

another one.— another one, and then i find another one. landlords turning down applications _ another one. landlords turning down applications from - another one. landlords turning | down applications from tenants with children isn't against the law, but lawyers say could be considered as discrimination. analysis by the bbc�*s data unit says what people like sarah are facing. we looked at private rental listings in two property websites for four days in may and found about a quarter of the 8000 advert sampled on open rent revealed a preference not to allow tenants with children. on the plaque unveiler 300, although that was less than 1% of the total. even more, including nearly three quarters of adverts on open rent, weren't keen on applicants with pets. animal charities say that leaves renters having to make some tough choices. 50 leaves renters having to make some tough choices.— some tough choices. so it's a really significant _ some tough choices. so it's a really significant issue - some tough choices. so it's a really significant issue for - really significant issue for battersea. one in ten of the animals that comes to agate is as a result of the owners facing housing challenges, adamantly behind that statistic are hundreds of really heartbreaking stories, where people are taking the really difficult decision to give up an animal to difficult decision to give up an animalto us.— difficult decision to give up an animalto us. rising costs and competition _ an animalto us. rising costs and competition are - an animalto us. rising costs and competition are makingl an animal to us. rising costs| and competition are making it harderfor tenants to

and competition are making it harder for tenants to find somewhere to live, but under a proposed new law for england, it would be tougher for a landlord to refuse any tenant with a pet. those plans would allow renters to request to keep a pet, which a landlord couldn't unreasonably refuse, but many landlords are worried about the risk of damage caused by pets. property market, the trade body for lettings agents, says a cap on deposits has made owners even more wary of the potential cost. there is also a general acceptance that not every property is suitable for children. the listings sites we looked at were clear that there were no blanket bans on tenants with pets or children. the were no blanket bans on tenants with pets or children.— with pets or children. the dog i can leave — with pets or children. the dog i can leave my _ with pets or children. the dog i can leave my ex _ with pets or children. the dog i can leave my ex husband's. l i can leave my ex husband's. but with demand for rental property is high, for mums like sara, the search goes on. kevin peachy, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news now. us secretary of the treasury, janet yellen, and xie fang, china's ambassador to the united states, met on monday, ahead of yellen�*s scheduled travel

to beijing this week, according to a statement from the us department of treasury. yellen and xie held a "frank and productive discussion" that covered global and bilateral issues, according to the statement. more on that meeting a little later in our business coverage. twitter is officially launching a new version of its multi—timeline interface, tweet deck. but there's a catch. the dashboard is only going to be made available for verified users, who pay for a twitter blue subscription. the move is an attempt to help mitigate some of the technical issues the service has been facing. plans for the orkney islands to change its status in the uk, or even become a self—governing territory of norway, are set to be debated by councillors today. a motion will go before the local authority to investigate "alternative forms of governance". but the prime minister's spokesperson rejected a suggestion the islands could loosen its ties with the union.

around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. voiceover: bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. hafod eryri, the visitors' centre that sits on the summit of yr wyddfa. but it has been closed since the autumn of 2019, first due to covid and then a massive project to rebuild the rail tracks right to the top. but now the trains are back, and that means hafod eryri can reopen for business. when we first came up here, the building was really mouldy. it's been closed, there's been no air ventilation to the building for three years, so it has been a massive job getting professional cleaners in, getting the building nice and clean. the generators, we needed two brand—new generators, so engineers have been working really hard to get us power. before the trains and the visitors could return,

the snowdon mountain railway has had to replace 1,000 metres of track to the summit, a project that's cost over £1 million. without the train, hafod eryri couldn't open. everything in the building relies on its supplies. you're live with bbc news. to japan now, where the country may be one step closer to discharging tons of treated water from the fukushima nuclear disaster site in the pacific ocean. it's a controversial plan, opposed by neighbouring countries, including china. the director general of the international atomic energy agency is visiting japan, and later will visit the site, and present a final report to japan's prime minister. after that, and another study, the water could start to go into the ocean. it's a crucial step in fully decommissioning the fukushima site, following the earthquake and tsunami that crippled the plant. live now to shaimaa khalil who is in tokyo for us.

talk us through this process, which i assume is quite controversial? it which i assume is quite controversial?- which i assume is quite controversial? it is quite common _ controversial? it is quite common -- _ controversial? it is quite | common -- controversial common —— controversial involving the words radioactive water released into the sea enough to raise a great deal of anxiety among public here in japan, especially fukushima and especially among the fishing community, we went to fukushima a couple of weeks ago and we have spoken to a fisherman who was really concerned instead many feel this is going to deal them another blow after the reputational damage they have suffered after the terrible disaster of 2011. the government and the company that runs the fukushima nuclear plant say, this should not worry because the water is going to be treated, over 60 rods will be removed by the advanced liquid processing system, it will be diluted by

seawater then pumped into the ocean, rememberthis seawater then pumped into the ocean, remember this is water that has been used to call the reactors after the nuclear meltdown of 2011. picking up a lot of radiation and mixing with rainwater and groundwater and then stored into tanks, now it has been filling over a thousand tanks over the —— over the years, one point million tons of water, imagine for olympic swimming pools worth of water, that is what we are talking about, the government saying they are running out of time and place and it needs to go somewhere, essentially that is what the international atomic energy agency have been looking at for many months now, and that is what the expert is here to do, looking at the final assessment of that report then he will present a comprehensive report, to the prime minister. hopefully he will also brief the media about it. all of the reassurance coming from weather to the

international atomic energy agency or other laboratories and scientists to the government has done very little to reassure the public and indeed the public in neighbouring countries. china is very angry they called the plan extremely irresponsible. there have been protests in south korea, for example, people rushing to buy salt before the water is released, it is a very tricky thing in south korea because the government is trying to balance the rekindling of diplomatic ties with japan and trying to convince a very anxious public. this process will take years if not decades but japan this process will take years if not decades butjapan has this process will take years if not decades but japan has a this process will take years if not decades butjapan has a lot of convincing to do, notjust here in the country but also the neighbouring countries and regionally. it the neighbouring countries and reaionall . , the neighbouring countries and reaionall. , , . the neighbouring countries and reaionall. ,, . ., regionally. it is such a difficult _ regionally. it is such a difficult situation - regionally. it is such a . difficult situation because regionally. it is such a - difficult situation because the government and the japanese authorities know that whatever they do, it is going to be an unpopular choice? it will be. yet they had to somehow dispose of this contaminated water?

because they cannot start the decommissioning process without disposing of the water, they say there is nowhere for it to go now. remember, the contaminated water if you look at the tanks, 30% of it is treated water, the rest is still contaminated water. it just stays there, a ticking time bomb because what if another break happens. they are saying they cannot start the decommissioning process which involves dealing with nuclear debris without doing away with the water. they also said the levels of the one radioactive element that cannot be separated from the water is going to be at such a low level, it will not affect human life, it will not affect sea life. we have heard concerns about the cumulative effect of this element but the government is damned if they do and damned if they don't stop if they leave the water like this it

will pile up and delay the decommissioning process but they go ahead with the plan a risk a lot of anxiety notjust here injapan, but around the region. here in japan, but around the reuion. . , u, region. certainly, we can understand _ region. certainly, we can understand why. - to france — where president emmanuel macron will later meet more than 200 mayors of areas affected by days of unrest which followed the police shooting of a teenager. it comes amid controversy surrounding a fundraiser for the policeman who shot dead a teenager last week, sparking nationwide unrest. politicians from the centre and left of the political spectrum have condemned the initiative of a far right media commentator as shameful and scandalous. so far, more than 1 million euros has been raised for the police officer via the gofundme platform. a separate appealfor the family of the teenager, nahel m who was killed, has raised significantly less, with donations currently

standing at around $215,000. this situation in france, the rioting and unrest going on for days over a five day period that has had a big impact on many businesses, certainly those in hospitality and the tourism sector. coming into the summer season tourism is a huge industry and a contributor to growth that the french economy we will be looking at that in detail in our business coverage in ten minutes. now — how a moment in the ashes test match appears to have trigged a potential diplomatic incident. it follows the controversial dismissal ofjonny bairstow, who left his crease believing the ball to be dead, but was then ran out by the australian wicket keeper. what followed was a row between the two sides. england's captain ben stokes said he wouldn't have done it — the australian skipper pat cummins said it was "fair play". now the politicians

have got involved. a spokesman for rishi sunak said: "the prime minister agrees with ben stokes. "he said he simply wouldn't want to win a game in "the manner australia did." in response, anthony albanese, australia's prime minister, said: "same old aussies — always winning." live now to perth where we can speak to anthony de ceglie — the editor in chief of the west australian who have been covering this story. you have been covering the story, a warm welcome to the programme. let us start by showing your front programme. let us start by showing yourfront page programme. let us start by showing your front page for today's paper? is this today's paper? we will show our view is that the viewers can get to see that? they cannot really see that? they cannot really see that image but if we scroll down you can see a very strong

sporting scene worldwide, excuse the pun. it is our competitiveness that gets us there, that was on display when we gotjonny bairstow out. i am we got jonny bairstow out. i am sure any british _ we got jonny bairstow out. i am sure any british what _ we got jonny bairstow out. i am sure any british what you - we gotjonny bairstow out. i am sure any british what you now in quite a few tuning in right now would argue we have a very strong competitive sense as well when it comes to the ashes, even though we have not had the ashes for quite some time. how do you think this will play out over the next few days? will play out over the next few da s? ., , , ., ., , days? hopefully, what it means the third test _ days? hopefully, what it means the third test is _ days? hopefully, what it means the third test is an _ days? hopefully, what it means the third test is an absolute - the third test is an absolute ripper. i am the third test is an absolute ripper. iam hoping the third test is an absolute ripper. i am hoping australia wins, of course, if we go 3—0 up wins, of course, if we go 3—0 up the last one will be a dead rubber. the main thing this is done is make sure it will be watched, far and wide, and it will be heeded which is great, nothing better than the australians and the palms going at each other. i australians and the palms going at each other.— at each other. i want a sneak review at each other. i want a sneak preview to — at each other. i want a sneak preview to the _ at each other. i want a sneak preview to the tomorrow - at each other. i want a sneakl preview to the tomorrow front page? who will be on the cover?

it will be ben stokes, i give you the odds. we have a few things we are kicking around, we are very proud about tradition of a strong front page over here, we take our lead from the uk tabloids but we like to think we do it even better than that.— better than that. you have certainly — better than that. you have certainly got _ better than that. you have certainly got the _ better than that. you have certainly got the attention | better than that. you have l certainly got the attention of everyone probably ben stokes and our prime minister and anthony albanese e. there you 90, anthony albanese e. there you go, you have done very well indeed. anthony de ceglie, the editor in chief of the west australian. good to talk to. do tell us what you have to say about that story, you may have very strong opinions about that, i am sure they are out there full. let's take you live to jenin, there full. let's take you live tojenin, this is our lead story what the israelis call a military operation, that has been under way, sunday and monday. now it is 25 past seven their local time, monday. now it is 25 past seven their localtime, it monday. now it is 25 past seven their local time, it looks very, very calm, but as we are

well aware, it is extremely fractious situation and we will be keeping a very close eye. the top business stories are here next, i will see you in a moment. 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 front 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 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.
