today at 6pm... we are live injenin in the israeli—occupied west bank, where the un says it's alarmed at the scale of israel's military operation. at the scale of israel's israel says it is carrying out anti—terrorism measures — at least ten palestinians have been killed and more than 50 injured. today, a palestinian man from the occupied west bank injured seven people in tel aviv — he was later shot and killed. and the other main stories on tonight's programme... the metropolitan police reopen their investigation into potential breaches of covid rules at an event at conservative headquarters in the winter of 2020. as homeowners feel the squeeze, with higher mortgage interest rates, why are savers not benefiting as much? a fine of over £3 million for thames water, after hundreds

of fish died when undiluted sewage was pumped into two rivers in 2017. and two—time wimbledon champion andy murray has beaten fellow brit ryan peniston on and coming up in the sport on bbc news, a blow for england head of the crucial third test, all the pope ruled out of ashes with a shoulder injury. good evening. un aid agencies say they are "alarmed" by the scale of israel's military operation in the occupied west bank, where hundreds of israeli troops are continuing what they say are anti—terrorism measures inside thejenin refugee camp. thousands of people have left the camp since the operation began.

in a moment, we'll bring you a report from jenin by our international editor, jeremy bowen. but first, here's a reminder of the extremely challenging issues which have shaped the region's politics for decades. israeli forces captured and occupied the west bank in 1967 — it had previously been ruled byjordan. the west bank includes the cities you can see here, including jenin, where thousands of palestinians live in a refugee camp which was set up after the first israeli—palestinian conflict in 1948. in this latest violence, at least 11 palestinians have been killed and more than 50 injured. there have been exchanges of gunfire throughout the day. and today seven people were also injured in an attack in tel aviv by a palestinian from the west bank. here'sjeremy bowen's report. the israeli military released these pictures. their message? israel's enemies can

expect no mercy. families caught in the crossfire managed to get out overnight. the impact on civilians is alarming un agencies, what they call the loss of life and the scale and severity of injuries. this morning, the israelis said they were working systematically to locate and destroy weapons. palestinians had tried to make this part ofjenin a no—go area for israelis. 0n the edges of the refugee camp, their fury and frustration overflowed. more families came out of the combat zone. the un says israeli strikes cut much of the camp's

power and water. he said they'd been held by the army in a room. he said drones were shooting at them. we've just got out. we're all exhausted. nothing to drink or eat this morning. what a mess. as for emergency services, the un says destruction makes access hard. tear gas was used repeatedly next to the hospital on the edge of the camp. another un concern, but it seemed to be aimed at crowds of angry palestinians who gathered near there. some had homemade bombs, potentially deadly close up. here they are. crude devices. israel's firepower is very different. seriously ill patients were evacuated. some ambulances, the un said,

were stopped from reaching other casualties by the army. the crowds were nervous, excitable. this conflict dominates their lives. there is every indication the israeli army wants to keep all this confined to the camp because they're worried about escalation. and there's also every sign they want to declare victory and get out. but victories for the israelis here are always temporary because these people, the palestinians, feel that just their presence here is victory in itself. and violence, more violence is guaranteed in the absence of a political process, in the absence of any hope for peace. at the same time, a palestinian rammed his car into civilians in tel aviv on israel's coast. he was shot dead by a passer by.

a hard—line government minister said their war was injenin and tel aviv and everyjew was a target, he said. for bloodthirsty murderers. back injenin with drones still patrolling overhead, it feels as if the israeli operation here is in its final hours. the israelis sayjenin is no longer a terrorism factory. when the camp opens up, the price paid by palestinian civilians will be clearer. it's evening now and we can see smoke behind you. tell us what's going on. it’s smoke behind you. tell us what's auoin on. �* , , smoke behind you. tell us what's oiiin on. �*, , ., ,y smoke behind you. tell us what's iioin on. v , ., _ ., smoke behind you. tell us what's ioiin on. v , ., _ ., going on. it's very noisy at the moment _ going on. it's very noisy at the moment. there _ going on. it's very noisy at the moment. there is _ going on. it's very noisy at the moment. there is a _ going on. it's very noisy at the moment. there is a lot - going on. it's very noisy at the moment. there is a lot of - going on. it's very noisy at the i moment. there is a lot of activity with ambulances, fire brigade trying to get to that fire. there's been quite a lot of shooting as well and if you explosions. there are indications this evening, as i suggested, that the israelis are coming to the end of what they see

as theirjob. they are talking about what happened in the last couple of days already in the past tense. they are also saying that, if there were somewhere else they need to go in, they now have a way of doing it and they now have a way of doing it and they will show how they can achieve it and make their points. but what strikes me, as somebody who's been covering this story for many years, is how the underlying issues do not change. the conflict is always there. it infects so much. the occupation infects so much. the fact that palestinians don't have self—determination, the fact is well that the israelis don't have the security that they would want. that attack in tel aviv as well today. so, rathersimply attack in tel aviv as well today. so, rather simply come than trying to just so, rather simply come than trying tojust manage this so, rather simply come than trying to just manage this series of terrible, violent incidents over

many, many years, of course, the answer is to try and make a deal, try and make peace, but that is just not worked, notjust try and make peace, but that is just not worked, not just for years not worked, notjust for years but for generations. not worked, not 'ust for years but for generations._ for generations. jeremy, many thanks. in the last hour, the metropolitan police have opened a new investigation and reopened a previous inquiry into potential breaches of covid regulations in westminster in 2020 and 2021. 0ur political editor, chris mason, joins us from westminster. what have they said, chris? the time ca isule of what have they said, chris? the time capsule of what _ what have they said, chris? the time capsule of what became _ what have they said, chris? the time capsule of what became known - capsule of what became known as partygate keeps getting dug up and keeps going off like a stink bomb. the prime minister and semi—conservatives desperate to move on and yet it continues to make headlines. let's pick through what we have heard this evening from the police. first, there won't be an investigation into alleged events in downing street or chequers, the prime minister's country pad in

buckinghamshire that might have related directly to chris johnson but there will be an investigation into a bash at conservative party hq, into a bash at conservative party h0, the one that was described on a save the date card as a jingle and a mingle. you might recall that mingling was some distance from being encouraged at the time. that is going to be looked into by the police. there will also be an investigation into an event that took place at parliament around the same time, the tail end of 2020. that all came to light and it's been acknowledged it happened by an mp who was there and she's apologised, because the guido fawkes political website reported that sir bernard jenkin, a conservative mp, was allegedly there and he was on the privileges committee that concluded that boris johnson privileges committee that concluded that borisjohnson had lied to parliament. mrjohnson accused sir bernard of hypocrisy. this evening, sir bernard has said to the bbc it wouldn't be appropriate to comment given that an investigation is

ongoing for top you thought you'd heard the last of partygate westminster? not a bit of it. thank ou, chris westminster? not a bit of it. thank you, chris mason. _ if you're a homeowner, many of you know the cost of borrowing for your mortgage has gone up steadily in the past few months in line with the bank of england raising interest rates, and now an average five—year fixed rate has risen to above 6%. if borrowers are feeling the squeeze, savers should be getting a better return on their money, but the bosses of the four biggest banks have been summoned by the watchdog to explain why rates on savings accounts have simply not gone up as fast. here's our cost of living correspondent, colletta smith. isaac is one of the youngest fully qualified butchers in the country, and he's slicing and dicing his wages to save as much as he can. when you get paid every week. try put like half of it away. it's just straightaway in savings. and then it's all for car

insurance and my mot and stuff like that. but those savings aren't earning much interest. it's not looking good, obviously. the bank of england has increased the base interest rate 13 times in the last year and a half, but high street banks have been sluggish to pass that on to savers. mps have been asking the prime minister if that's good enough. it does what the chancellor said, it's the issue needs to be resolved. i know he's met recently with the fca and they've agreed to deliver better deals for savers by driving competition and increasing reporting, which i think they're doing in the next few weeks in particular to make sure that savers are benefiting from higher interest rates. lenders have been quick to hike the interest they charge on mortgages. average rates for two year fixed deals are at 6.47%. and today, for the first time, five year rates passed 6%. but the amount they're dishing out to savers is only 2.45%. i want some bacon as well, i think, because we run out. that's not a surprise, but it is a frustration for everyone like gemma and craig trying to save. i don't think anything feels fair at the moment, to be fair. not passing anything

over to its customers. so it definitely could be something a bit more fair, a bit more balanced than what we're currently seeing at the minute. under pressure from the government, the financial conduct authority are meeting with the big four banks later this week to get them to give savers more. the thing is, the regulator can't force banks to up their interest rates. some have passed on that increase in interest rates much faster than others. so if you have got some savings tucked away, it's worth taking the time to shop around at the moment because there's a big variation in what's available. abi's not keen to lock all her savings away, which means they're earning very little no matter how hard she's working. you see, people say like, "oh, well, it's got loads of interest". and you're like. you don't see any of it. so more interest would help the bank balance. it'd be nice, wouldn't it? oh yeah. we'd all love to see that one way on that side, you know, like people are trying to save and you know, people are trying to use the savings pot to get on the property ladder.

obviously that's pushing people further away from that. and that's exactly how isaac feels about his future. hopefully one day look to like moving out and stuff like that because don't want to live with my mum forever. but how long that takes is in the hands of the banks. colletta smith, bbc news in netherton, near huddersfield. the bbc has been told that nigel farage had his bank account at the prestigious private bank coutts closed because they fell below the financial threshold required for customers. last week, the former brexit party leader claimed his accounts were withdrawn because of his political views. our business editor, simonjack, is here. simon, you found this out. what else do you know?— do you know? people familiar with this situation _ do you know? people familiar with this situation said _ do you know? people familiar with this situation said the _ do you know? people familiar with this situation said the decision - do you know? people familiar with this situation said the decision to i this situation said the decision to remove mr farage's accounts was not political but commercial, and pointed me towards the thresholds you need to be a customer at the private bank coutts. you have to borrow or invest £1 million at the

bank or have £3 million in savings. the clarification was that he had to pass those thresholds but they also said they had offered him a bank account at natwest, which owns coutts. as you said, mr farage thought he was being singled out for his political views, which is disputed by the bank. it's also should be said that natwest, i beg your pardon, that coutts, customers have been in touch with the bbc and said many people who don't pass those thresholds have not had their accounts frozen. natwest saying it's not political and there is kelly some discretion on offer here. they say it was on commercial grounds. "reckless" — that's the verdict of a judge who has fined thames water more than £3 million for releasing millions of litres of undiluted sewage into rivers near gatwick airport in 2017. the judge said the firm had shown a "deliberate attempt" to mislead the environment agency about the incident. thames water is the uk's largest water company, serving 15 million homes,

and there are serious questions about its future, as it is billions of pounds in debt. 0ur environment correspondent, jonah fisher, has more. a stretch of river near gatwick airport once popular with local anglers. full of dead fish. this was the aftermath of the sewage spill in october 2017. investigators counted more than 1400. the realfigure is likely to have been much higher. the fish died when raw sewage was pumped out of this water treatment facility. it was a mistake but in court the environment agency listed a catalogue of errors thames water had made both before and after the spill. warning signs were ignored, infrastructure was inadequate and, infrastructure was inadequate and, in the days after the incident, britain's biggest water company deliberately misled investigators.

they told us seven times nothing had happened at the sewage works. when they did accept responsible to, they submitted a formal challenge, asking us to remove the incident from our records. ., , g; g; records. having been fined £35 million, thames _ records. having been fined £35 million, thames water - records. having been fined £35 million, thames water says - records. having been fined £35 million, thames water says it i records. having been fined £35 l million, thames water says it has now cleaned up its act. this incident happened - now cleaned up its act. this incident happened six - now cleaned up its act. ti 3 incident happened six is a gopher tip that was then and this is now the tip we have a new chief executive who came in and spent three years devising a turnaround plan. three years devising a turnaround ilan. . ., , ~' plan. chief executive left last week at the extent _ plan. chief executive left last week at the extent of _ plan. chief executive left last week at the extent of thames _ plan. chief executive left last week at the extent of thames water's i at the extent of thames water's problems became clear that the new one in a statement apologised for what she said were the errors and poorjudgment that led to the misleading the environment agency. the final £35 million is tiny when compared to the £14 billion of debt that thames water has accumulated

since privatisation. servicing that debt remains a huge headache and today the head of the water regulator said too much money had been borrowed and that efforts are still continuing to try and find the money to shore up the finances of britain's chris porter company. jonah fisher, bbc news, reading. our top story this evening... the un says it's alarmed at the scale of the israeli military operation injenin in the occupied west bank. and of the series byker grove is making a comeback, produced by foremost stars and time deck. also coming up. residents in harrow express dismay — over a billboard that advertises a model's "0nly fans" account. and a special reunion between patient and doctor in the week that the nhs turns 75.

work coming up and support on bbc news, the defending wimbledon champion survives a scare in the open mesh of the championships, beating an american in three sets. of 500 allegations against officers over a five—year period, only 24 men have been charged, with — in some cases — evidence deleted in mishandled inquiries. the policing minister says he is strengthening the vetting of both new recruits and serving staff to root out predatory officers. 0ur investigations correspondent noel titheradge has this report. "i'd love to spend a night with you in the real bedroom, hotel, whatever". charlotte smith says she's been harassed by a warwickshire officer she'd met years earlier while known to police as a potential victim of grooming. she says that after bumping into detective sergeant paul whitehurst again, he pursued a sexual relationship while she was facing a dispute with her ex—partner. really disturbing messages were coming from someone who you wouldn't expect them from. "i would like to properly spend the night with you.

no emotions, though, just laughs, likes, and plenty of shagging." they had a relationship but charlotte then complained to the force about him nearly three years ago. after that, he repeatedly visited her home uninvited. in 2022, there was an incident where he turned up outside, which was all on ring doorbell footage. when the police finally did come round, about 45 minutes later, there was no urgency. charlotte says she'd already complained about another visit but wasn't taken seriously. despite there being red markers on my house because of the previous incidents, didn't even take a statement from me. two years, i'm still waiting for the gross misconduct hearing. because he works in the anti—corruption and professional standards complaints department, that's the place you complain to, so what hope have you got? the detective sergeant, shown here on the left, denied abusing his position for a sexual purpose. he said the messages weren't familiar to him and he visited charlotte out of concern for her. we've also learned of evidence being deleted by forces investigating their officers.

we've been told that the metropolitan police box and investigation in when he was accused of having sets with multiple victims of having sets with multiple victims of rape. two former members of its professional standards team say the detective inspector's phone was wiped remotely following his arrest after best practice wasn't followed. i was absolutely shocked that somebody... that case is off the barometer disgraceful. just the footage that you've got from that young woman would be really concerning. baroness casey's review found that the metropolitan police is institutionally misogynist. it'sjust so shocking. he works in professional standards. she says delays in dealing with claims of misconduct are unacceptable. it's jaw—droppingly appalling that you have cases of really serious sexual allegations made against police officers that simply go on for years.

the national police chiefs council says it's determined to learn from previous cases, but the most recent victims commissioner says reform is urgently needed. change has to be immediate. 0bviously complaints should be going out to another force and not being done internally. so it raises the big question, who is policing the police standards department? the home office says it's taking action, but women who've spent years waiting for investigations to conclude say they've lost faith in police forces. a man who killed a mother and her two young daughters by setting fire to their flat has been found guilty of their murders. jamie barrow poured petrol through the letterbox of his neighbour fatoumatta hydara's home in nottingham last november. the court was told the 31—year old held a grudge about rubbish being dumped in an alleyway. jo black reports. fatoumata hydara and her young daughters, fatima and naima, were killed when their flat was deliberately set on fire while they were asleep.

the bright flash of light on this cctv footage shows the moment the fire took hold. their next door neighbour, jamie barrow, seen here hours earlier buying alcohol, poured petrol through their letterbox and set it alight. even though screams could be heard coming from the property. barrow casually walked away. when he returned to the scene, he was heard asking about the fire. to be honest, is it that bad? we may never know the reason why jamie barrow started that fatal fire at the beginning of this trial, the prosecution said he had a grievance towards the family because of some rubbish left in an alleyway. but for now, the real motive for these murders is still unclear. it was later the same day that he contacted the police to say he was responsible for the fire. he said, he wanted to tell us something about what happened and you said you're going to hand yourself in. in court, he claimed he didn't realise anyone was inside the property

and admitted to manslaughter. jurors heard he had struggled with his mental health and believed starting fires helped to relieve his stress. fatoumatta's husband was away in america at the time. today, after the guilty verdicts, he spoke about the family he's lost. fatoumatta was a caring daughter, a wife, sister, mother and a friend. if love and compassion could make a person immortal, she would have lived forever. she was most incredible mother to fatima and naima, two angels who deserve a very beautiful childhood and a full life. fatoumatta and her children were due to join her husband and live in the us. dreams and lives now shattered by the actions of the man who lived next door. jo black, bbc news in nottingham.

the uk covid inquiry has heard how the pandemic exposed flaws in the welsh governments planning for a major health emergency. concerns about the ability of care homes to cope had been raised in 2014 but hadn t been resolved. the first minister, mark drakeford said planning for a no—deal brexit had come to dominate the governments work from 2018. i cheered my first cabinet four days after becoming first minister and almost the whole of that cabinet meeting is devoted to preparations for leaving the european union without a deal, so by the time i became first minister the system was already turning it so it's very firmly to a danger that was one of significant potential consequence. rain has prevented most of the matches taking place on day two of wimbledon, but two time champion andy murray has been in action in front of some special guests,

a new lease of life once again. it will follow a new generation of young people and their families as they try to navigate the challenges they face today in the 20205. so what issues will they be? we went to byker and had a word with some young drama students. seeing people who look like you on social media and having the perfect life is something that a lot of kids feel quite down about. and i find that really hard. mental health is very, very importantjust because it's not talked about enough still. will people of your age watch it? i think they will. i think other dramas that are set in like that sort of environment like whatley road and things like that, have come back and they have done really, really well. byker grove was watched by millions. i can't see, man! carried by that distinctive northeast accent. it tackled tough issues such as drug addiction and sexuality.

people here like you from newcastle, they always kind of refer back to byker grove and we had kids that were involved with it 20 years ago. so it's going to be really great to have it kind of come back around and give children an opportunity to perform. you're not sort of encouraged to hide your geordie accent now. it's now something that's sort of really valued. it's something that's really difficult to emulate if you're not from here. so yeah, that's, that's what's going to be really great about it, i think isjust cementing that geordie brand a little bit more. you've never returned any of my letters. you never sent any. and getting talent from north east england in front and behind the camera for the new byker is a welcome part of the plan. danny savage, bbc news byker in newcastle. time for a look at the weather. here's stav da naos. not great at wimbledon. not at all. take a look— not great at wimbledon. not at all. take a look at _ not great at wimbledon. not at all. take a look at this, _ not great at wimbledon. not at all. take a look at this, it's _ not great at wimbledon. not at all. take a look at this, it's a _ not great at wimbledon. not at all. take a look at this, it's a wash-outl take a look at this, it's a wash—out across the wimbledon area. this was the scene a few hours ago across the across the wimbledon area. this was the scene a few hours ago across the south—west there and it looks like south—west there and it looks like the rain will pep up further through the rain will pep up further through the rain will pep up further through the evening and tonight with the rise the rain will pep up further through the evening and tonight with the wind is picking up as well but the wind is picking up as well but the good news is as we move deeper good news is as we move deeper
