police using water cannon battle protesters on the streets ofjerusalem — over israel's controversial judicial reform bill. spain's conservative popular party falls short of an all—out election victory — the outgoing socialists say chances are slim for alberto nunez feijoo to form a government. hello, i'm samantha simmonds. we start in greece, where over 2,000 people have been evacuated from the island of corfu, as wildfires continue to spread across the country. thousands of people have been affected with many holiday—makers forced to flee towards safety. this footage was filmed in port corfu on sunday evening. you can see how the fire is burning over a wide area — with smoke billowing over the inhabited areas. and this video was filmed in a corfu hotel, as guests were dining.

the government says it has sent boats to evacuate residents by sea, if required. the greek emergency services are dealing with several fires — including two in areas east and south west of the capital, athens. and as well the blaze on corfu, the eastern island of rhodes has also been badly hit. 0ne fire brigade official there says around one in ten of the hotels in the central and south eastern parts of the island have been affected. this satellite image gives an idea of where the worst fires have been burning. you can see how the flames and smoke — shown in red — have made their way to a popular part of the coastline. and this is what those flames look like from the ground. firefighters have been working to set up firebreaks — clearing a strip of ground of things which can burn, to stop the flames spreading — in an attempt to shield dense forests and more residential areas. where the flames have taken a grip, this is what's left. burned out buildings and a landscape covered in ash. witnesses say that in some areas, the damage is still smoking and too hot to approach.

that's led to a scramble to get thousands of people to safety — many of them holiday—makers. as many as 5,000 are in temporary accomodation like this. thousands of others are trying to get flights home. that's brought many more people than usual to the airport — with hundreds sleeping there before they can board a plane. some of the tourists have been talking to the bbc about their experience. the fires were actually raging the night before, and we'd gone down to the beach. we were evacuated off the beach. they were pretty bad over in pretoria, which is kind of over the hill. and we got evacuated off the beach. we got stuck there for 6 hours. we couldn't get any taxes. our hotel sent the head chef to come and pick us up in his car. we got back to the hotel. we were advised to stay in the hotel that night because there were no

taxis around to take to lindos, which we did. and then we'd literally been in bed 2 minutes and they banged on the door and so we had to evacuate. so they took us in a minibus. they were taking us to schools, gymnasiums everywhere was full. there was 500 people, people on the floor outside, and we ended up at school. eventually we got there about 4am., so we slept on the floor in a classroom. they brought water. then the greek people started to turn up with food and water and supplies. they've been amazing. there's the only help that we have had through this whole thing has been from greek people. we've had no help from any british holiday companies or any british authorities. we've had no help whatsoever. generic texts with phone numbers to phone for help. and when you phone them that it's automated or they take they listen to what you've got to say and then they know help comes. we knew there was fires in the background because we'd seen them smoke over the last couple of days, but everyone was telling us there wasn't a problem, no issues, had nothing from our tour operator, easyjet.

then on saturday lunchtime, we could just see that the dark smoke was getting thicker and thicker. so my husband and myself walked around to the front of the hotel and that's when we saw the flames. and while we were there, police actually turned up, went running to reception, said something in greek, and thenjust said, get out, get out, get on the beach. so we grabbed the kids. luckily, i had my passports with me because we were leaving and ran down to the beach with the rest of the 2000 people that were in the hotel. we were there for about half an hour and then all of a sudden the smoke just got so black. no, you couldn't see anybody on the beach. everyone was coughing. the towels from sun loungers, which we were wetting putting over our faces. and then we were just told, just walk, just walk. and we just walk for six miles and flip flops. just kept walking till we came across the first hotel. we did, but then

we got in the hotel. they welcomed us, gave us some water and everything. then about 3 hours later, they said our hotel there was outside. they were taking us to somewhere else. so we all went outside. they shut the gates and there was no bus. what did you sleep? that night after that, we got we got to evacuation point. we went to about three different evacuation points. eventually, an easyjet bus came along that we managed to get on. bearing in mind there was thousands of people everywhere and they took us to where we thought we would be taken to the airport. they didn't say anything. so we all thought we were going to the airport. and then we just got to a place in the middle of nowhere and just said, you can get out now. didn't know where we were. and that was tui magic hotel that we ended up sleeping on sunbeds around the pool that night. how do you feel about the support? i am absolutely disgusted. i worked in travel myself 25 years ago. i know how it should be run. nothing. i'm absolutely disgusted. absolutely disgusted. let us hear from karen stratton and her young son dax, who havejust been through a harrowing night on rhodes. they were evacuated from their hotel in nothing but their swimwear, left without money, passports,

or access to their belongings. it was unbelievable. we were literally sat in our pool, swimwear on, being told nothing was happening by the staff. smoke was billowing, you could see the flames, and we were having a drink on the pool, having a chart. basically, saw people running past us with suitcases, shouting, we are being evacuated! the only thing i cared about was grabbing that and running, which is what we ended up doing. there was no one to help us, there was nobody guiding anyone. it was an awful sight. was nobody guiding anyone. it was an awfulsight. icon was nobody guiding anyone. it was an awful sight. icon believe we were there. luckily we got flagged down

by one of the locals who took us into their car and drove us to a hotel, which was meant to be saved. they were lovely. their residents knew nothing about the fire. they were amazing, the greek people, if it wasn't for them, i wouldn't know what happened. we got evacuated from the place, we came out of the hotel and saw the fire. it was literally in front of us. there was a military truck and they told us to get on it. we were lucky to jump on it, which then staffed and we got on to another truck which caught on fire. we walked down pitch black roads, you couldn't see anything but cars. nobody was there to help. luckily, the locals were picking up all the tourists and taking them to another

hotel where hundreds of people, from every country, were there. there was water provided, which ran out. there was food which run out. screaming babies, families. it was terrifying. you could smell the smoke, the ashwood in the air, and there was nobody from any companies. the staff were doing their best. we couldn't get there, we were the only people we saw from our company. they didn't notify us, still haven't. it was awful, and if it wasn't for my beautiful friends, awful, and if it wasn't for my beautifulfriends, who awful, and if it wasn't for my beautiful friends, who sorted awful, and if it wasn't for my beautifulfriends, who sorted us awful, and if it wasn't for my beautiful friends, who sorted us out and got a cab driver to come all the way through the fire to pick us up, i can't even begin to tell you where we would be. we are very grateful,

indeed. what i can't believe, they still allowed them to flight with their families to rhodes, still allowed them to flight with theirfamilies to rhodes, even though the hotel was affected quite severely. it though the hotel was affected quite severel . , ., ., , ., severely. it is horrendous what you have been through. _ severely. it is horrendous what you have been through. tell _ severely. it is horrendous what you have been through. tell us - severely. it is horrendous what you have been through. tell us how- severely. it is horrendous what you | have been through. tell us how you are doing. have been through. tell us how you are doinu. �* , have been through. tell us how you aredoina. �* , . , are doing. i've been fine recently. i was a bit — are doing. i've been fine recently. i was a bit worried, _ are doing. i've been fine recently. i was a bit worried, i _ are doing. i've been fine recently. i was a bit worried, i was - are doing. i've been fine recently. i was a bit worried, i wasjust - i was a bit worried, i wasjust tryingm _ i was a bit worried, i wasjust tryingm i_ i was a bit worried, i wasjust trying... iwas i was a bit worried, i wasjust trying... i was cautious, and scared _ the uk—based tour operator on the beach has published a statement on its website, saying... it adds...

for months now, it's been an issue that's divided a country and led to violent protests. i'm talking about the israeli government's controversial plan to take power away from the country's supreme court. now — it's reaching another crucial stage — with a series of votes taking place in the israeli parliament. police injerusalem have deployed water cannons to disperse protesters blocking roads to the knesset. a group representing 100 of israel's largest businesses have announced a strike to coincide with today's vote. to add a further complication israel's prime minister has just been discharged from hospital after undergoing an operation to have a pacemakerfitted. benjamin netanyahu says he'll be taking part in the vote. this is the moment his motorcade drove away from the medical centre. he'd been taken there early on sunday to have the pacemaker fitted to rectify heart issues.

this is the scene in the knesset, where there are debates on the issue. 0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams is injerusalem and explained to us why this bill has been so controversial. that is because the people gathered here in the vicinity of the parliament, the knesset, on top of the hill, they believe their way of life, the way israel has been covered for decades is under threat. they believe benjamin netanyahu is an increasingly authoritarian leader, using tricks to cement his power, and they believe the supreme court, which isjust over the hill in that direction, its authority as a primary and fundamental check on political power in israel is being eroded. the votes happening later

tonight after many objections have been heard and voted on is about something called the reasonable clause. in other words, something called the reasonable clause. in otherwords, if something called the reasonable clause. in other words, if supreme courtjustices decide something the government is doing is unreasonable, they can block it. that is the first measure the government wants to get rid of, and it is the fact it is due to happen today which has brought all these people here to the knesset. it is a celebratory atmosphere at the moment, but these people who i been talking to really feel israel is on the verge of a slide into a form of government which they see as authoritarian. you hear the word fascist being branded around. they think it is at stake here. ~ , ., here. why the government determined to ush it here. why the government determined to push it through? _ here. why the government determined to push it through? we've _ here. why the government determined to push it through? we've had - here. why the government determined to push it through? we've had a - to push it through? we've had a statement from the president in the past few minutes we are in a state

of national emergency. why is benjamin netanyahu determined to get this motion through? thefie benjamin netanyahu determined to get this motion through?— this motion through? these people would argue _ this motion through? these people would argue it _ this motion through? these people would argue it is _ this motion through? these people would argue it is because _ this motion through? these people would argue it is because he - this motion through? these people would argue it is because he has i would argue it is because he has surrounded himself with people who have a really strong interest in undoing or reshaping the way politics is a manager in israel. and doing away with the authority, not doing away with the authority, not doing away, but amending the supreme court authority so religious interests are better catered for, nationalist interests are better catered for. if you look at netanyahu's coalition, it is a nationalist coalition, dominated by figures on the right and the far right. it is their interests, and netanyahu's desire to accommodate them and keep as coalition together

thatis them and keep as coalition together that is driving this process. it began after the last election, after the last government was put together, and it is reaching a real pitch now. today is not the beginning, the middle or the end the process. netanyahu seems determined to pick off elements of this broad package ofjudicial reform. this is just the first, and it could last one months, even years. we saw ben'amin one months, even years. we saw benjamin netanyahu _ one months, even years. we saw benjamin netanyahu in _ one months, even years. we saw benjamin netanyahu in the - one months, even years. we saw. benjamin netanyahu in the knesset. we will keep an eye on all the developments. there's a political stalemate in spain after sunday's snap general election failed to produce a decisive winner. neither the right nor the left have a clear route to forming a new government. the conservative people's party, led by alberto n ez feij o, won the most seats, but fell short of a majority. mr feij o said the task fell to him to try to form a government and urged other parties not to stand in his way. the outgoing governing

socialists fared better than had been predicted, with the prime minister pedro s nchez claiming voters had emphatically rejected right—wing policies. the bbc�*s sergi forcada freixas joins me now for more analysis on the election. just explain the results and what they mean for the people of spain. spain is now in political limbo because none of the candidates have a majority, so you have the conservatives who want an election but have fallen short of a majority. even with the support of the far—right party they wouldn't have enough votes in parliament in order to form a government. if you look to the left, pedro sanchez, if he wants to be elected he could get it but it is still very tricky because he would need the support of left—wing parties, but more difficult to get the support of all the

pro—independence and nationalist parties from the basque county. we have a new parliament, but there is no prime minister, and this may go on for weeks. no prime minister, and this may go on for week-— no prime minister, and this may go on for weeks. what happens next? if the are in on for weeks. what happens next? if they are in limbo, _ on for weeks. what happens next? if they are in limbo, how _ on for weeks. what happens next? if they are in limbo, how do _ on for weeks. what happens next? if they are in limbo, how do you - on for weeks. what happens next? if they are in limbo, how do you think i they are in limbo, how do you think they are in limbo, how do you think the people will react, given the country seems to be so divided? this is uuite a country seems to be so divided? ti 3 is quite a divided country country seems to be so divided? ti 1 is quite a divided country when it comes to politics. it is nothing new, something they've experienced before. people, when you speak to them in madrid, they are fed up of politicians not reaching agreement, having to vote again. we've been here before. in 2016 and 2019, this building didn't manage to get a majority for any of the candidates, so elections had to be repeated. in terms of a timetable, we are looking

at septemberfor terms of a timetable, we are looking at september for possibly the first time when a candidate will come to congress and will seek the support of mps. as of now, not of them would be able to form a majority, but we have to wait and see. if for a couple of months nobody is able to have a majority in parliament, new elections will be called automatically. it is uncertain when they would be, but we could go to next christmas, around december. it will go to the polls again if the limbo persists. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. all the plastic that's ever been created still exist in some form, because it takes so long to break down, leading to pollution like this. but a new invention might be able to help. this may look like a normal plastic

bag but there's something quite different about it. it dissolves in water. in boiling water this process takes about a minute. i caught up with the australian company's co—founder at the bupa eco—disruptive live event for start—ups to find out more. so these bags look like plastic, but they're not. what's the magic ingredient here? 0ur magic ingredient is the cassava plant and more specifically, we use lots of starches. what's the advantage of these over say plastic bags in terms of sustainability? there's no micro plastics when it breaks down - and there's no toxins as well. it can dissolve in hot water in under 60 seconds and it| will compost in six to eight months. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. the climate activist greta thunberg is in court today in sweden, where she's on trial of disobeying a police order. she allegedly refused to leave an anti—oil protest at malmo port last month.

he also claimed that 11 drones were shot down orjammed during the attack and there are no indications of any casualties. ukraine has not commented on either incident but it had said it would respond after several air strikes on the port city of 0desa. the government in kyiv has accused moscow of targeting grain which was due for export and this comes after the deal under which both russia and ukraine were allowed safe passage for shipments of grain and fertiliser through the black sea came to an end with no new deal reached. let's hear from our correspondent james waterhouse, who spoke to me from 0desa. well, it's been a miserable week for the city, really. we've been here for a number of days now. and typically overnight, you can hear the booms of air defences trying to hold out against waves of russian missile attacks. and last night, we were told there was a four—hour long strike further south from the city where the russians had launched drones as they continue to try and target port infrastructure.

and this has coincided with moscow's withdrawal from a major agreement which allowed ukraine to export grain. but the kremlin pulled out, mainly over frustrations over western sanctions. and since its departure, it has looked to frustrate ukraine in just about every way possible. it is now targeting port infrastructure and making ukraine's important task — it sees it as vital for its economy and the wider world — it's made its job of trying to export grain all the more difficult. so it's been another night of air strikes and this is a city now re—adapting to a routine of clearing up rubble the day after a night of attacks from the sky. we are getting these reports of russia claiming ukraine have launched an attack against moscow. what more do you have? you

launched an attack against moscow. what more do you have?— launched an attack against moscow. what more do you have? you have two cateaories, what more do you have? you have two categories. what _ what more do you have? you have two categories, what we _ what more do you have? you have two categories, what we know _ what more do you have? you have two categories, what we know and - what more do you have? you have two categories, what we know and what - what more do you have? you have two categories, what we know and what we don't. we can talk about 0desa. when we see these claims from moscow and unverified footage of a drone flying through the moscow skyline, you have to look at the claims and what may be happening. there are two scenarios, it could be russia trying to build a false justification for further military action by saying what ukraine is doing. 0r further military action by saying what ukraine is doing. or it could indeed be a drone attack that ukraine was behind. i think if we look at the broader point year, when you see these drone attacks inside russian territory, they apply psychological pressure on the russian population. the majority who keep their heads down and don't ask too many questions about the kremlin's invasion. it forces people

to pay attention to what may be happening across the border. it will be ukraine who takes more satisfaction from these apparent images, but we don't know the full picture on this one. the latest space x mission has blasted off from cape canaveral in florida the falcon 9 is carrying 22 starlink satellites which will be placed on a low—earth orbit. spacex started launching the starlink satellites in 2019 and there are now 3,700 orbiting the earth. last week, amazon said it plans to launch a space internet service to rival spacex's starlink. if you look up at the night sky, you may see them. i did over turkey last week. stay here with us on bbc news. hello again. as we go through this week, the weather is certainly

going to be changeable. it is today. we've got some rain clearing southwards across england, followed by sunshine and showers and also at times areas of cloud. now the weather front is the weather front that's been pushing steadily south through the course of yesterday and this morning. and it will eventually through the afternoon, clear southern areas. and you can see from this spacing in the isobars, looking at a breezy day, it's not going to be as windy as it was at the weekend. so the rain continuing to push off in the direction of the english channel. behind it, we've got the mixture of sunshine, showers, areas of cloud and also a new weather front which is fairly weak, bringing in some showery outbreaks of rain across the northwest of scotland. temperatures 1a in the north to 20 in the south. through this evening and overnight, we lose some of the showers. we'll have some clear skies in the light winds. we're looking at mist and fog

patches developing here and there. but if anything, the shower is turning that a bit heavier across the north of scotland with our overnight lows between roughly eight and 11 degrees. so that's how we start the day tomorrow. if anything, the showers becoming frequent, more prolonged generally, and some of them merging to give some longer spells of rain across parts of scotland. elsewhere, we've got scattered showers, but with a ridge of high pressure building in across the southwest, it should dry up when we see more sunshine here, temperatures 13 to about 20 degrees. as we move from tuesday into wednesday, this area of low pressure in the atlantic starts to come our way and it's going to introduce thicker cloud and eventually some rain. the wind will pick up as well. but before that happens, we'll have a dry start in many eastern areas with just a few showers ahead of the main rain band coming in from the west through the course of the day, temperatures 1a to about 21 degrees. then as we move through the week, that rain will continue to push across us during the course of wednesday night and thursday, the dregs of it remaining through the english channel and areas adjacent to it, brightening up a touch in the west with just a few showers and temperatures 15 in lerwick, 18 in glasgow to 21 in norwich and st helier.

now beyond that, the weather still does remain unsettled. we're still looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers with some rain at times and temperatures a little bit lower than we'd expect at this time of year.
