setting her flat on fire is found guilty. a week of unrest prompted by the police killing of a teenager. china has accused the uk of giving protection to fugitives after eight

pro—democracy activists fled hong kong. a very warm welcome, you are watching verified live on the bbc. a palestinian man has injured seven people after driving his car into them in tel aviv and attacking them with a knife. the man was later shot and killed, the palestinian militant group hamas has welcomed the attack, suggesting the man was responding to an army raid by the israeli side in jenin. really troops moved in on monday, people fleet. an extensive counterterrorism effort, palestinian leaders have condemned the assault

is a new war crime. jeremy bowen is injanine. ——jenin. so this is the hospital at the edge of the refugee camp injenin, where a lot of the casualties have come in. and these people here, a mixture of local guys and also a lot of medics are waiting for the next lot to come in. ambulances have gone out in the last few minutes to try to bring in people. they say that there have been some people wounded inside the camp now. we can't get up that way because that's where the israelis are. they're a couple of hundred yards in that direction. the men here, some of them have had these nasty looking, really crude homemade bombs

in little tins that essentially the idea is that they just throw them. i mean, they make a loud noise, but also, if you're riding right on them, they would be deadly. well, i suppose the main thing i get from the people here is this sense of determination and defiance. there is a deeply built—in culture of resistance here, not just in this city, but in the northern west bank, particularly. and that's why, from the israeli point of view, this is such a big problem. the fundamental problem, though, for both israelis and palestinians is that this is a century, more than a century—long conflict, and it is still going on and it is not resolved. and right now there is no chance of any kind of peace. and out here, there's a new generation who don't even remember the last uprising. and they're back on the streets. jeremy bowen,

when elizabeth hastings, earlier she gave us this update.— gave us this update. certainly the ictures i gave us this update. certainly the pictures i have — gave us this update. certainly the pictures i have been _ gave us this update. certainly the pictures i have been seen - gave us this update. certainly the pictures i have been seen and - gave us this update. certainly thej pictures i have been seen and our team there now have been reporting on is that things are very grim, there have been significant amounts of damage and of course there have been ten palestinians killed in jenin and now over 120 injenin which according to un statistics is the largest number of injured palestinians in an israeli operation since 2005 in the west bank. in addition to those casualties, the infrastructural damage is very serious, to the extent and in particular because air strikes, has resulted in the destruction of homes and significant damage to both electricity and water systems. this means the majority of people in

jenin camp do not have access to electricity and drinking water right now which i'm sure you and your viewers appreciate the seriousness of that. there are also issues emerging because the roads were dug up emerging because the roads were dug up and destroyed there are issues emerging in terms of mobility even within the camp, not necessarily... if this operation continues that will mean a food shortage will be seen and of course access to medical aid will become more and more difficult. i want to mention that unwrapped, the us agency for palestinian refugees —— un agency for palestinian refugees and support within thejenin cab usually truck in water once a week to the camp so we will look at that closely as well.

we can here live from jenin, artistic director of the freedom theatre in the city, thank you for joining us, first i understand last night was quite a night for you, tell us what happened. first night was quite a night for you, tell us what happened.- night was quite a night for you, tell us what happened. first of all, thank ou tell us what happened. first of all, thank you very _ tell us what happened. first of all, thank you very much _ tell us what happened. first of all, thank you very much to _ tell us what happened. first of all, thank you very much to have - tell us what happened. first of all, thank you very much to have me . tell us what happened. first of all, i thank you very much to have me with you, i was listening to you your reporter and your guests in this morning after 75 years you are still calling this a conflict between israelis and palestinians, it is funny how many in the west say this, you present the attack in tel aviv, not the attack from 2002, 20 years,

every night and every day invaded and still do it it brought us back 20 years, it is not different from 2002, tanks and jeeps, soldiers, bulldozers bulldozing the streets, they have cut their electricity, destroy the water systems, no into no, no phones to connect people, some of the families had success to move from the camp locally. the situation, i cannot say it is a war, it is more crazy and insane 2023 or 2024, still these kind of attacks

happen without any of security or international watch... people, happen without any of security or internationalwatch... people, kids are in the street, there are some people and family stuck in the camp cannot move, old people, nobody allowed into the camp now. even the ambulances can't go inside to help these kinds of families and the soldiers from yesterday until now, rockets, bombs, bombing houses, arresting people yesterday 400 people arrested and today they continued to arrest everyone above 15 years old and to the checkpoint to check their identities and all of that. so the situation is not really different from 2002, you are not

allowed to walk in the streets. i understand and thank you for laying it out exactly how you see it in jenin right now but do not accept that the camp injenin, which is where the israeli forces say they are targeting, has become under control of armed groups, the palestinian authorities do not have control of security in that camp any more so the israelis are taking that security into their own hands? i want to ask you, jenin, geographic, where is it? it is in west bank, it is supposed to be under the palestinian control. but is supposed to be under the palestinian control.- is supposed to be under the palestinian control. but is it under palestinian _ palestinian control. but is it under palestinian control? _ palestinian control. but is it under palestinian control? yes, - palestinian control. but is it under palestinian control? yes, why - palestinian control. but is it under palestinian control? yes, why the | palestinian control? yes, why the israelis palestinian control? yes, why the israelis have _ palestinian control? yes, why the israelis have to _ palestinian control? yes, why the israelis have to enter— palestinian control? yes, why the israelis have to enter the - palestinian control? yes, why the israelis have to enter the camp? l palestinian control? yes, why the i israelis have to enter the camp? we can see the result after this

operation, i want to see the security, the general security, i promise you they will arrest everyone just to show that it they will satisfy the israeli community after the benjamin netanyahu government, now they come to banish thejenin people and the people in jenin to satisfy the israeli community and urinate —— and unite them again. they're looking for a life, better situation injenin camp and all of them are angry. it gives us no choices. 0ne angry. it gives us no choices. one way, is a palestinian injenin camp

technically that really isn't going to be possible. that was the artistic director making his feelings clear from jenin. we will speak to someone from the israeli defence area in around an hour, so stay with us here on bbc news for that. a russian missile has hit a residential area in eastern ukraine. more than 30 were injured, nine children among those being treated in hospital. the attack happened in pervomaiskyi, a small town about 60 kilometres from ukraine's second city kharkiv. residential buildings were hit and several cars were said to have been on fire after the shelling. it hit the car park outside of this

residential building, the building itself, 31 people as you said injured, including infants, one aged a year, 110 runs, hurt in the attack, the prosecutor general of ukraine said this is another war crime, saying there were only residential buildings in the area. we have reports of nine children being injured including those two infants and there have been a series of strikes which have hit civilians in recent days and weeks. yesterday, a drone killed three people and that week ago we saw that attack on that killed 13 people in a restaurant including a writer in kramatorsk.

in november last year, fatoumatta hydara and her two small daughters, fatimah and naeemah, were killed when their flat was set on fire. the bright flash of light on this cctv footage shows the moment the fire took hold. it was started deliberately by this man, jamie barrow, their next—door neighbour. this is him hours earlier in shops buying alcohol, before he went back to fairisle close and poured petrol through the family's letterbox. the court was told that screams could be heard coming from the property, but barrow did nothing and casually walked away. when he returned to the scene, he was heard asking about the fire. and he appeared relaxed when talking to officers. it was when he got home that he contacted the police to say that he was the person responsible for setting his neighbour's flat alight. right, jamie. 0bviously what you've said, when we've got here, you said you wanted to tell us something about what's happened and then you said you were going

to hand yourself in... barrow admitted to manslaughter, saying he had started the fire but didn't realise there was anybody inside the flat. the prosecution told jurors he had a grievance towards mrs hydara, because he believed she was leaving rubbish in a back alleyway. but barrow dismissed claims there was an ongoing dispute. the court also heard that he struggled with his mental health and believes starting fires helped to relieve his stress. this tragedy has robbed fatoumatta's husband of his entire family. he was away in america at the time. arrangements were being made for his wife and daughters to move there with him. plans and lives now shattered by the actions of their neighbour. jo black, bbc news, nottingham. in france — president macron is meeting more than two hundred mayors from areas affected by days of unrest following the police shooting of a teenager. the mayors arrived for the meeting in paris a little earlier. a spokesperson for president macron says the discussions aim to deepen understanding of the root causes of the violence. (tx 00v)the unrest understanding of the root causes of the violence. the unrest

was was sparked by the killing of a 17—year—old named as nahel during a traffic stop last tuesday. the last two nights have seen fewer arrests than in the days immediately following the incident. but thousands of police officers are still deployed across the country. straight to paris. tom symonds is there for us now. the interior minister has been saying more about the scale of the unrest, what did they have to say? responses from the french government about the last week of unrest and damage on the streets, 3500 arrests, 8000 police injuries. 12,000 bin fires, 1100 buildings damaged. serious unrest here. that likely has stopped, overnight very little going on, some arrests still. we also have in the last hour or two something from emanuel macron, french president, new emergency bill offered to mayors of towns affected

by the rights to speed up reconstruction of buildings, street furniture and transport and also for repairs to roads, municipal establishments and schools. it is quite vague on detail, doesn't seem to be any sort of a dressing of the underlying social issues that i think some of the mayors that have been to see emanuel macron behind me that they may have been demanding. for example massive investment to try and improve the fortunes of some of the not very well suburbs of cities like paris. we heard from one mayor as he came out of the meeting, a place that has suffered very badly from the riots in the south—west. this is what he had to say. when i saw -- _ this is what he had to say. when i saw -- what — this is what he had to say. when i saw -- what i _ this is what he had to say. when i saw —— what i saw stuck with me, the audience _ saw —— what i saw stuck with me, the audience was —

hello there. for quite a few of you we've got some heavy rain in the forecast through the course of this afternoon. let's take a look at what's going on. well, across southern wales we've already had these rather dark and threatening skies. these cloudy skies are all associated with a developing weather front that's going to be bringing outbreaks of rain to southern wales, southern areas of england, parts of the midlands and east anglia through the course of the afternoon. we do have a weather front further north bringing some showery conditions to northern ireland and scotland — at least there are prospects for the skies to brighten up at times. but across the south it's going to be raining pretty much all afternoon for south—east wales, the south—west midlands, but the heaviest falls of rain will kind of merge together across southern areas of england. i think this rain band is going to wash out large stretches of the play today at wimbledon, so it is going to be quite a frustrating kind of afternoon.

it's also going to be quite cool for the time of year. 0vernight tonight, that rain band continues to develop, so the rain turns heavier, it could get quite windy for a time across east anglia and kent, as well. a few showers in the north—west, otherwise it's a largely dry night. tomorrow, this weather front eventually clears out of the way from the east coast of east anglia. wednesday is a day of sunny spells and passing showers. now, because it's going to be quite a breezy day again across england and wales, it does mean where you catch a shower it should move through fairly quickly. the temperatures generally a degree or so higher, so you should see about 20 in the warmest spots in the east. the forecast for wimbledon, as i say today, i think there will be lots of the play there will be lots of the play washed out with some fairly washed out with some fairly heavy, persistent rain. a different story tomorrow. there could be an odd passing shower, but for most of the day play will be unaffected with a lot of dry weather around. heading into thursday, an area of low pressure spins off the atlantic and this is going to be bringing some heavy rain to northern ireland, particularly western counties. it could even be heavy enough to bring some localised surface water flooding issues. further eastwards the weather a little bit drier.

a bit of high cloud around making any sunshine hazy. it will start to get a little bit warmer more widely across england, wales, eastern areas of scotland. we should see temperatures start to climb into the low 20s. towards the end of the week there is still the threat of some heavy rain from this wiggling weather front across western counties of northern ireland. 0therwise, southerly winds will be boosting the temperatures, particularly so across parts of central and eastern england. eastern wales, too. we could see temperatures reaching the high 20s towards the end of the week, so, for some of us, it turns quite hot.
