alongside the queen and prince and princess of wales. the uk's national health service marks its 75th anniversary today — we look at how that's being celebrated and the huge challenges it's facing. and the latest from wimbledon asjust stop oil protesters briefly disrupted a match by covering a corner of the court in orange confetti. hello, i'm matthew amroliwala. welcome to verified live — three hours of breaking stories and checking out the truth behind them. thousands have joined funeral processions injenin in the west bank in the middle east for 12 palestinians killed during an intense 48—hour operation by the israeli military. massive crowds marched towards the cemetery — these pictures giving you a sense of the scale of the turnout. huge numbers, huge anger after israeli forces

launched a two—day raid against what they described as terrorists launching attacks from jenin. eight of the dead were members of militant groups. as the bodies were carried through the debris—strewn streets, the militants were seen firing into the air. the crowds could also be heard chanting as the procession weaved through the streets. it comes after israel said its air defence system had intercepted five rockets fired from gaza into southern israel in the early hours. in response, the israeli defence forces said theirjets hit what they said was an underground hamas weapons manufacturing facility. the idf�*s two—day military operation left one israeli soldier dead, as well as the 12 palestinians. palestinian leaders have accused israel of mounting an invasion of the refugee camp. our correspondent, anna foster, is injenin.

let's start with the funerals themselves because so many people turning out, give us a sense of what the day has been like. i turning out, give us a sense of what the day has been like.— the day has been like. i was there as that funeral _ the day has been like. i was there as that funeral procession - the day has been like. i was there as that funeral procession began l as that funeral procession began this morning, people gathering outside the hospital as the bodies were brought, they were held on stretchers, there were flags waved enchanting, a lot of gunfire is that procession made its way, a standard feature funerals like this one. what was interesting is that two members we believe of the leadership had arrived to take part in those funerals but were asked to leave which gives you an idea of the way things are here injenin and some of the problems they are facing, the fact these groups and in particular a youth movement are unhappy with their leadership, unhappy with the palestinian authority, they don't feel they represent their interests, they don't feel they do enough to deal with the issues they face,

living under the israeli occupation that they describe here, so you can really see the anger that was present this morning as those funerals took place, those palestinians who were killed during this 48—hour large and intense, the largest of its kind in years, israeli military operation here in jenin. in israeli military operation here in jenin. , ., ., ., jenin. in terms of the operation itself, the _ jenin. in terms of the operation itself, the israeli _ jenin. in terms of the operation itself, the israeli forces - jenin. in terms of the operation itself, the israeli forces have i jenin. in terms of the operation i itself, the israeli forces have been showing off some of the arms they say they found during the 48 hours, what is being said about the effectiveness though of this two military operation?— military operation? that's an interesting — military operation? that's an interesting question - military operation? that's an interesting question because military operation? that's an l interesting question because it depends who you ask, a few kilometres from here across the west bank barrier on the israeli side, the israelis held this display of weaponry they said they captured from within the camp, they laid it all out. they have said that their

aims in this operation have very much been achieved, they said they wanted to do is grade —— degrade and dismantle the infrastructure that these groups were using, they talked about finding weapons caches, command and control rooms they say they have managed to dismantle, so in that respect they were happy with the operation, equally they said they wanted to send a strong message that they would carry out operations like this in civilian areas if they felt it was required, but on the other side, this grouping of palestinian militants from different factions, not all from the same party but they are bound together by this common location here injenin, they say they still have firepower left, they still have weaponry and they still have fighters, some of them see this as a victory, they say because some are still standing it's a victory for them and for their group, and they have vowed to

continue waging this struggle against the israeli occupation as they say, and we have seen these attacks on israelis that have been carried out from here injenin, where they have been planned and executed from here, and that is why the israeli said despite regional condemnation and warnings from countries like the us about the fact this took place in a very densely populated civilian area. i willi this took place in a very densely populated civilian area. i will ask ou more populated civilian area. i will ask you more about _ populated civilian area. i will ask you more about that _ populated civilian area. i will ask you more about that in _ populated civilian area. i will ask you more about that in a - populated civilian area. i will ask| you more about that in a second, populated civilian area. i will ask - you more about that in a second, but i want to put onto the screen pictures because we are expecting to hear from pictures because we are expecting to hearfrom benjamin netanyahu in the next little while, you can see the podium are set up there, this is an air force base and israel's prime minister going to praise the security forces for those two days of operations injenin, so as soon as that starts, we will obviously carry that for you with those latest comments, but you were talking about the end of the operation and the refugee camp, we have also over the last few hours seen the first images

of what is inside that camp, the damage done by the 48—hour operation, they have an immediate task of restoring vital infrastructure, water, electricity? they do, that's right, i have actually come from the refugee camp to speak to you here and you're right, things like water and electricity, efforts are being made to try and restore those, but as you walk through the streets, there are remains of burning tyres and broken glass and shell casings that people are sweeping up. we talk about the civilians that live there, there are children who live there as well, so they are trying to clean up the streets. interestingly as well, as we left in the last hour or so, the entrances to the camps, they have been putting rudimentary roadblocks in there, some stones and rubble and gas bottles which was not there earlier today and is not normally there, it's a suggestion on two

fronts, won the continuing concern that israeli forces may return and also in terms of authority forces, there were clashes last night with their own forces who some people here do not feel they stepped in, they felt they cooperated in pact with the israeli forces in allowing this operation to happen, so it shows you the unrest on both sides, and when we hear from shows you the unrest on both sides, and when we hearfrom benjamin netanyahu he will no doubt reflect on that from his carefully chosen location where drone attacks have been launched, this operation started with a drone attack which was unusual in many ways, it shows the scale and size and intent of this operation. we the scale and size and intent of this operation.— this operation. we will leave it there, this operation. we will leave it there. but _ this operation. we will leave it there, but thanks _ this operation. we will leave it there, but thanks very - this operation. we will leave it there, but thanks very much, l this operation. we will leave it i there, but thanks very much, as this operation. we will leave it - there, but thanks very much, as we continue to watch those pictures, benjamin netanyahu due to speak in the next little while so we will come away from that but we will continue to monitor and bring you the significant passages when he actually talks there to the assembled press, that is the latest there, the situation injenin.

the un's nuclear watchdog says it needs to be able to check the whole of the russian—occupied zaporizhzhia plant in ukraine to confirm there are no mines or explosives there. it comes after kyiv again accused moscow of planning to stage an incident at the plant and blame it on ukrainian shelling. on tuesday, volodymyr zelensky told france's president macron that russia was planning dangerous provocations at zaporizhzhia. moscow disputes those claims, in turn accusing kyiv of planning to attack the site. here's president zelensky raising his concerns in his nightly address. translation: we have information from our intelligence _ that the russian military has placed objects similar to explosives on the roof of several power units of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. it's probable they needed to simulate an attack on the plant, or they could have some other kind of scenario, but, in any case, the world sees, and cannot avoid seeing, that the only source of danger to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is russia, and no—one else. as we heard there in that soundbite from president zelensky, the ukrainian military claimed

on tuesday that objects resembling explosive devices had been placed on the roofs of two of the reactors at the russian—controlled nuclear power plant in zaporizhzhia. bbc verify has studied the latest high—resolution satellite image provided by planet labs and compared it with earlier images of the plant, such as these. the verify team have not been able to identify any new objects on the roofs of the reactors consistent with the ukrainian claim. however, it's not possible to see the roofs from all angles and we don't know whether any new objects placed there would be large enough to be visible. that work to verify the satellite imagery is continuing. i spoke to hamish de bretton—gordon, a former british army officer and former commander of the nato rapid reaction battalion. i asked whether he thinks there is a real possiblity of russia

planning to simulate an attack of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. putin and the russians seem to do some pretty unbelievable things. the ukrainian intelligence for weeks before the dam was blown up by the russians were suggesting they were going to do it. and that was an environmental catastrophe on a scale similar to the chernobyl nuclear accident back in the �*80s. so i'm afraid there is so much rumour and disinformation around, we really must take it seriously because a nuclear accident, in inverted commas, at the moment, meteorological conditions would suggest that that contamination would go west across ukraine and into europe and could affect people for many, many years to come. so it is essential... i'll come back to that point in a moment because it's an important one. but in terms of a pattern, you think it fits the pattern of the sort of brutal, unconventional tactics in terms of the basic pursuit of any sort of victory, do you?

well, i think it does. i saw the russians up close and personal in syria, where they developed this unconventional warfare, attacking schools and hospitals and the power grid to try when their military fails. and in syria, it sort of worked. we've seen attacks on the power grid in ukraine really from the get go to try and bring it down. now, before the war started, most of the electricity and power came from nuclear. so although zaporizhzhia is not pushing out power at the moment, it is key. it's also in a key strategic position. if zaporizhzhia falls to the ukrainians or they retake it, more likely, they then have an advantage of moving south with their offensive. if russia created contamination from zaporizhzhia, that would severely affect i expect their march south. so in their bizarre twisted doctrine

it is the sort of thing that we now expect the russians would do because they seem to have no care about civilian casualties or collateral damage. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. headlines across the uk. let's look at some of the other stories making headlines across the uk. customers will not be made to cover the cost if thames water goes bust — that's according to the industry regulator. britain's biggest water company is struggling with debts of an estimated £14 billion. ofwat has warned that investors in thames water appear to be reluctant to put more cash into the company. train companies are pressing ahead with plans to close hundreds of railway ticket offices across england over the next three years. under the proposals, some ticket kiosks would remain in large stations, but elsewhere staff would be on concourses to sell tickets, offer advice and help people with accessibility. rail unions are opposed to the plans and have warned of further strikes. schools in england face further disruption today and on friday as teachers in the national education union

stage their latest strike over pay. picket lines will be mounted outside schools and sixth—form colleges and striking teachers will march in westminster in london before taking part in a rally in parliament square. you're live with bbc news. britain's king charles has been presented with the scottish crown jewels as part of a lavish ceremony to mark his coronation. the afternoon began with a people's procession which left edinburgh castle and made its way along the royal mile. around 100 people from all walks of scottish life were involved including nhs workers, refugees and politicians. lots of people gathered ahead of the service to show their support for the king, but there was also a sizeable anti—monarchy protest. a demonstration also took place outside the scottish parliament which was attended by the co—leaders of the green party. king charles and queen camilla then arrived at st giles' cathedral

for the service of thanksgiving and dedication. we heard traditional music during the service and the sermon praised the king and queen's efforts to protect the environment. it was then onto the presentation of the honours of scotland — the sword of state, the sceptre and the crown. they are the oldest crown jewels in britain. we pledge our loyalty. in receiving this crown. — we pledge our loyalty. in receiving this crown. i _ we pledge our loyalty. in receiving this crown, i have _ we pledge our loyalty. in receiving this crown, i have so _ we pledge our loyalty. in receiving this crown, i have so promised - we pledge our loyalty. in receiving this crown, i have so promised by| this crown, i have so promised by gmis— this crown, i have so promised by god's help — live now to edinburgh and our scotland correspondent, james shaw. your affections, first of all? it your affections, first of all? [it really your affections, first of all? really has your affections, first of all? it really has been a day of colour and pageantry here in edinburgh, we have

just seen the last of the marching bands disappearing out of the gates, there was a fly past by the red arrows at the end, and a 21 gun salute from the ramparts of edinburgh castle, and that was the closing chapter of the day which has seen the streets of edinburgh filled with people, the people's procession coming from edinburgh castle, bringing the scottish crown jewels to st giles' cathedral, and then the royal party coming from this palace of holyroodhouse, up to the cathedral, and this service which was i think a reflection of scottish talent and a scottish culture and its diversity, there were tributes from different faiths, there was a song sung in gaelic, the language of the western isles of scotland, there was a performance by the

world—famous violinist, and as the moderator of the general assembly of the church of scotland said in her sermon, it was a reflection of the deep richness of scottish culture, she said it was a saga, not a short story. and i think probably what king charles would have wanted people to take from it was the feeling he has of this really strong bond with scotland as part of the united kingdom but also reflecting the fact that for many people, scotland should be an independent nation, and there was a lot about scottish sovereignty, ancient scottish sovereignty, ancient scottish kingship, the stone of destiny, one of the most powerful symbols of scottish nationhood, part of the ceremony at st giles' cathedral. so it was a day full of symbolism, a lot to take away, but of course some people are not interested in the royalfamily of course some people are not interested in the royal family and king charles in scotland, they are

probably less popular here than other parts of the uk, but for a lot of people, tourists from all over the world, people from scotland, i think they will have enjoyed the spectacle and the colour of these events today in edinburgh. thanks ve much events today in edinburgh. thanks very much for— events today in edinburgh. thanks very much for taking _ events today in edinburgh. thanks very much for taking us _ events today in edinburgh. thanks very much for taking us through i events today in edinburgh. thanks| very much for taking us through all of that. as we come away from james, let me bring you the very latest information because our correspondent was referencing it, but a bit more detail about arrests and protests around the royal mile because we are hearing from our home affairs correspondent a small group of protesters on the royal mile have been —— arrested after chanting at the king and queen after they were driven back from st giles' cathedral, you would have caught a little bit of that is the king and queen passed by. the group were waving a banner saying, the palace should be turned into social

housing, onlookers said police spoke to those in the group, but then arrested them when they started swearing, so they have been led to the canongate kirk, the local church, and placed regularly attended by the late queen, but more detail about the arrest of a small group of protesters there on the royal mile, so if we get any more we will obviously to it. now to the aftermath of six days of rioting in france. the police are investigating the death of a man who may have been hit by a police rubber bullet during rioting on saturday in the southern city of marseilles. they say the man suffered a heart attack consistent with being struck in the chest. let's cross live to paris and our correspondent, jenny hill. give us your sense of what it has been like in the areas you have been

in. ii been like in the areas you have been in. , ., been like in the areas you have been in. i” been like in the areas you have been in. if you look at the shop behind me, it is almost _ in. if you look at the shop behind me, it is almost as _ in. if you look at the shop behind me, it is almost as if— in. if you look at the shop behind me, it is almost as if nothing i me, it is almost as if nothing happened and it was the same in marseille this morning, we passed a few boarded—up shops but little sign that anything of any gravity had occurred there, but we all know that is simply not the case. we know that the french authorities believe the violence to have subsided now, no one is counting their chickens or being complacent about that, but even president macron has said he thinks the worst of this is over and if you look at the arrest figures coming out day by day, you really do see a decrease. the question now though are turning to the real cause of those riots, what lay beneath those explosions of anger and violence? we know the immediate cause, the shooting dead of a 17—year—old boy by a french policeman, but what these riots seem to have revealed to the french

authorities, if they did not realise this before, is a real sense that this before, is a real sense that this is a country of two parts, partially about economics and race, but it is more than that, and this is what i've been hearing from people we have been speaking to, it's perhaps about people who feel that the french state cares about them and those who feel that it doesn't, a sense of connection and disconnection, the difference between the two really leaves people feeling either very comfortable and satisfied all quite the reverse. thanks very much for that update. here in the uk, a service has been held at westminster abbey to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the national health service. the nhs is unique because of the way it's funded — it's paid for through general taxation but it's free of charge for all users, regardless of treatment.

today's event is one of a series marking the milestone. 1,500 health workersjoined royalty and politicians for the ceremony, which included readings from the prime minister, rishi sunak, and the labour leader, sir keir starmer. but the occasion has prompted questions about its ability to survive in its current form into the future. three leading think tanks say the nhs won't reach its centenary unless there is significant investment. those are some of the challenges and questions. let's get some analysis from bbc verify�*s head of statistics, robert cuffe, who's in the newsroom. you can see why politicians are keen to pay tribute to the nhs, but half of brits say it makes them feel proud to be british. but satisfaction with the service is

falling, they have reached the lowest level ever recorded in the british social attitudes service, it will reach popularity in 2010, it has drifted down and has really come down over the years of the pandemic, and of course demand is high, services are stretched, in general we are getting older and living longer, so we do need to bring up funding in order to match those ever increasing demands. researchers from the king's fund told us funding would have to go up by 5% every year in real terms to catch up with the pandemic backlog and underinvestment. if we see investment of a bit less, they would say that services are only standing still, and even if you see increases every year in real terms of 2%, actually, services will go backwards, they characterise it as a managed decline. how does that compare with the actual plans for

the nhs? its probably around the middle at the moment, you can see the funding pencilled in, between 3-4%, the funding pencilled in, between 3—4%, middle of the range, and certainly higher than we saw in the decade up to the pandemic. now, this ever increasing need for funding is not unique to the uk, researchers from the health foundation told us, they are a global phenomenon but they are a global phenomenon but they also warn that choices and funding are stark because if you want to pay for more services, that extra money has to come from economic growth but without that you are borrowing or you are cutting services elsewhere or you need to raise more in taxes, and that is a pretty difficult decision or basis for the long—term funding to have all the discussions around planning for the prevention the nhs needs in order to meet the 100th anniversary you refer to at the start.—

you refer to at the start. thanks very much _ you refer to at the start. thanks very much for— you refer to at the start. thanks very much for taking _ you refer to at the start. thanks very much for taking us - you refer to at the start. thanks very much for taking us through | you refer to at the start. thanks i very much for taking us through all of that and in terms of some of those questions, i was talking to the king's fund, one of those three think tanks warning that the nhs will not reach its centenary unless there is new investment, we will play you that full interview in the next half an hour, 40 minutes or so, it was interesting, just some of the conclusions they came to and some of the obvious areas they say the government now has to address. i want to squeeze in one more story and a few more pictures becausejust stop 0il protesters have disrupted play at wimbledon today, confetti and jigsaw pieces were thrown by the protesters who ran onto the court 18. the match was briefly forced to stop play in the first set, security had been enhanced at the tournament following a spate of protests at other high profile events, more and those protests here in our sports

news soon. hello. tuesday was certainly a disappointing day for the outer courts at wimbledon, with heavy rain arriving during the afternoon. it was welcome news for gardeners and growers. in fact, in lowestoft, in suffolk, we had just shy of a month's worth of rain in the space of 24 hours. the low pressure responsible is causing some issues with the strength of the wind across the low countries at the moment. but for us, it's a quieter story for our wednesday afternoon, a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. there will be quite a few showers around, but they will be light in nature. and so if you miss them, those temperatures are likely to peak between 14 and 20 celsius, that's 68 fahrenheit, just a little bit below par really for this time of year. through the evening, most of those showers will tend to fade away. and in eastern areas, we'll see some clearer skies clouding over from the west. but temperatures are comfortable for trying to get

a good night's sleep, 7—12 degrees overall. so we start off on thursday with the best of the sunshine in the east. and the winds will remain light. winds will strengthen with the arrival of this area of low pressure out to the west, potentially gusting to 40mph as the rain comes in. so clouding over with outbreaks of rain into northern ireland and gradually into western fringes of scotland, sunny spells and a few scattered showers elsewhere. but temperatures will be a degree or so warmer. highs of 22 degrees, 72 fahrenheit. so that bodes well for play on the outside courts and the show courts for thursday at wimbledon, dry, settled and relatively sunny. however, as we move into friday, low pressure is going to sit out in the atlantic and it's going to throw up this southerly wind. so, for a time, it will get pretty warm, pretty humid actually as the day goes on. but that weather front will also bring some rain. so rain into northern ireland, western fringes of scotland, the best of the sunshine through england and wales, where we could see temperatures as high as 28 or 29 degrees.

that's the low 80s fahrenheit. and with that humidity increasing as we go through the night, it's going to be a warm, humid start to the weekend. but with low pressure trying to push these fronts in, as it bumps into that humid air, could trigger off a few sharp thundery downpours. so into the weekend, there's a potentialfor more rain, but some of it really could be quite torrential. take care.
