the israeli occupation injenin or not, one can expect a response from the gaza strip or even southern lebanon. ., ~ the gaza strip or even southern lebanon. . ~ ., ., ,., the gaza strip or even southern lebanon. . ~ ., ., ., ., lebanon. talk to me about escalation because the — lebanon. talk to me about escalation because the israelis _ lebanon. talk to me about escalation because the israelis have _ lebanon. talk to me about escalation because the israelis have said - lebanon. talk to me about escalation because the israelis have said this . because the israelis have said this is a long time coming and they have wanted to get intojenin but what is now happening is that we are seeing more retaliation from hamas and the potential for this to escalate into something much worse much so where does the answer lie?— does the answer lie? there is a atent of does the answer lie? there is a patent of these _ does the answer lie? there is a patent of these things - does the answer lie? there is a patent of these things where i does the answer lie? there is a l patent of these things where the israelis go in and seek to dismantle terrorist cells and command centres —— there is a pattern. islamichhad which is what the group israel have been targeting all spring and early summer, they will respond until both sides have come to some sort of understanding, usually brokered by the egyptians and the us. that is

the egyptians and the us. that is the pattern and the israelis have vowed to make sure that the threat coming from the west bank is extinguished. they have been a number of things they have uncovered in the last few weeks which are disturbing to the israelis in terms of their security, and effort on the part of militants within the west bank to fire rockets from the west bank to fire rockets from the west bank into israel population centres which has never happened before, although it is a regular feature of militants in the gaza strip. a number of armoured vehicles were disabled by roadside bombs which they experienced in lebanon but have not experienced in the west bank. this is a major security issue from the perspective of the israelis and this is why we are likely to see further escalation and retaliation in this kind of spiral unto other regional actors get involved. —— uncial. regional actors get involved. -- uncial. ., ., ,

group hamas has been talking about the attack on tel aviv, the car ramming, calling ita heroic the attack on tel aviv, the car ramming, calling it a heroic attack in the city. but so far in terms of jenin, we know that many people have been injured and about ten people have been killed. we will bring you the latest on what is happening on bbc news of course. you can go to the website for more on what is happening in israel. the prime mr rishi sunak has been questioned by senior mps on topics including the war in ukraine, the cost of living and public services. he was appearing before the liaison committee made up of senior mps who had the different house of commons select committee and our political correspondent explains.

what happens several times per year, last one was about months ago, the prime minister is questioned by senior mps and it is separate to his weekly session where the leader of the opposition gets to put questions and then other mps individually put questions. this is different and this happens at three monthly intervals, and the senior mps here chair the committees which scrutinise the government departments and each one is drawn from a different area, health, education, foreign affairs, and they sit together and they get this period, a couple of hours or so in the afternoon, to focus on these issues with the prime minister and that is what they were doing today. it's a fairly rare occurrence

but a chance for people to focus on these areas. what were the highlights? one issue, ukraine, the question is, he's going to the nato summit next week and the issue is what to do about ukraine's future security, should it be admitted to nato or would that be a wise move? a move maybe some countries would not want to do at this stage while the war is going on. the uk policy is somewhere in the middle and it feels that ukraine should be given security guarantees and a clear path to join nato as a balance and as a strong signal to russia. the scottish party's deputy leader at westminster, mari black, is stepping down at the next election. she described westminster as an outdated sexiest and toxic environment and she said social media abuse had played a role in her decision —— outdated and sexist and

toxic environment. you are watching bbc news. it has been closed since the autumn of 2019 and first because of covid and then a massive project to rebuild the rail tracks right to the top. but now the trains are back and that means it can reopen for business. that means it can reopen for business-— that means it can reopen for business. ~ , u, , business. when we first came up here the buildin: business. when we first came up here the building was _ business. when we first came up here the building was really _ business. when we first came up here the building was really mouldy - business. when we first came up here the building was really mouldy but - the building was really mouldy but it has been closed and there has been no air ventilation to the building for three years so it was a massive job to building for three years so it was a massivejob to get building for three years so it was a massive job to get professional cleaners in and getting it nice and clean. we needed two brand—new generator so the engineers have worked hard to get us power. for the visitors could — worked hard to get us power. for the visitors could return _ worked hard to get us power. for the visitors could return the _ worked hard to get us power. for the visitors could return the snowdon - visitors could return the snowdon mountain railway has had to replace thousand metres of track to the

her goal is to steady the relationship, but she's got her work cut out for her. ahead of her visit, beijing said it was imposing export controls on two rare metals essential for making semiconductors. the measures are seen as a tit—for—tat response after the us, the netherlands and japan recently restricted chip exports to china. some say the move is aimed at giving china more leverage in future trade discussions. gallium and germanium, the two metals in question, will be subject to export controls starting august 1st. in a statement, china's ministry of commerce said it was "to protect national security interests." china is the largest producer of gallium and germanium, which are used in a variety of products, including computer chips and solar panels. this is just the latest development in the global battle to control chip—making technology.

staying in the uk, a typical five—year fixed—rate mortgage deal now carries an interest rate of more than 6%. it comes after the bank of england raised interest rates to a 15—year high of 5% last month, as it tries to bring down inflation. typically over 100,000 customers come to the end of their mortgage deals every month and often that means paying thousands of pounds more every year in interest payments. earlier i spoke to stefano feelo—pay who's an independent mortgage adviser based just outside of london. he told me his customers fear buying properties due to the increasing rates. rates have been artificially low for a good few years now so we are looking at people coming off a very low fixed rates, two year, five year fixed rates now, and getting the shock of a lifetime in what is available to them to switch to, not only with their own lender but also out in the marketplace as well.

when house prices were low and the average house was around 3.5 times the average wage, now we are looking at 8.5 times. so the level that people will need to borrow at in order to buy properties of similar 20, 25 years ago is massively skewed. a lot of the first—time buyer market have been scared off. certainly clients that i met middle of last year, around affordability for them, got decisions in principles for them, working at the affordability for them then, with very few properties on the market for them to look at. now they're sort of being scared off a little bit because the repayments will have gone through the roof in comparison to what they were in the first started looking. the latest trade figures for germany show exports fell slightly in may, down by 0.1% on the month before. analysts were predicting a rise

and this comes as german business morale worsened for the second consecutive month, according to the ifo institute. persistent inflation has helped push germany into recession in the first three months of the year. the uk's largest water supplier, thames water has been fined £3.3 million for releasing "millions of litres" of undiluted sewage into rivers near gatwick airport in 2017. a judge involved in the case said she believed the company had deliberately attempted to mislead the environment agency after the incident. the company, which serves 15 million households, admitted four charges of illegally discharging waste. last week the pro—brexit political figure nigel farage said he believed his bank account at coutts had been closed for political reasons. coutts is a prestigious private bank for wealthy customers and the bbc has been told mr farage fell short of the required funds to hold an account there. it is understood mr farage was subsequently offered a standard account at natwest which owns coutts.

that's the latest from business. you're watching bbc news. now talk about china. to china next where authorities have warned of "multiple natural disasters" in the coming month, as heavy rains lash parts of the country. there's been flooding in large areas of central and south western china with some dramatic rescues taking place. our reporter nicky schiller has been monitoring state tv and social media and is in the newsroom with more. how bad is the flooding? ican sum i can sum it up in a couple of words, very bad, especially in south—western china. these are the pictures from state tv. 251 millimetres of rain fell in a day

and the streets are completely flooded. people are being evacuated. the good news is so far no casualties have been reported but 189 rivers across the country have seen what state tv called excessive flooding and you can see the drone footage with the river is absolutely covering areas that they should not. in the second highest level flood alert —— in one city the second highest level flood alert has been sounded. have a look at this video. this is a couple who were trapped on the top of that car and they managed to get a rope across and in the end managed to actually pick them up of the rope but you can see the water is completely flooded and she goes into the water and they have to pull her back on a rope so that she can

actually get rescued. imagine it being those people in that footage. then finally being rescued and airlifted to safety. really dramatic footage of them being rescued so they can actually get out. a number of dramatic rescues across the country. of dramatic rescues across the count . . , , . , country. incredible pictures. there is a picture — country. incredible pictures. there is a picture of _ country. incredible pictures. there is a picture of the _ country. incredible pictures. there is a picture of the building - country. incredible pictures. there is a picture of the building behindl is a picture of the building behind you. this has been popular on the website. ., ~ ., you. this has been popular on the website. . ~ ., , ., website. take a look behind me and ou will website. take a look behind me and you will see — website. take a look behind me and you will see this _ website. take a look behind me and you will see this whole _ website. take a look behind me and you will see this whole building - you will see this whole building collapses into the water. absolutely dramatic. the whole building being swept away and the good news is, as dramatic as it looks, there were not any actual injuries but the weather centre in china says they can expect more rain in the next few days.

thanks forjoining us. you can watch those videos here on bbc news on our website. you can go onto the website or use the bbc news app. now it is time for a look at the weather. 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. overnight 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

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. otherwise, 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.
