changes the platform's logo to x. we'll be gauging the reaction. let me introduce you to our panel. caroline flint, former labour party government minister and mp. leigh ann caldwell — the washington post live anchor. we will hear their thoughts in a moment or two. first i want to take you to sudan. first i want to take you to sudan. monday marks 100 days since the war in sudan started. 20 years on from darfur s genocide, it s that same region that is seeing the most casualties today. human rights groups have called it an ethnic cleansing. the para—military rapid support forces — rsf has been fighting the sudanese

army in khartoum since mid april. i've been speaking to ted chaiban, deputy executive director of humanitarian action and supply operations at unicef. he told me what the situation in sudan is like after more than 3 months of conflict. 100 days into this conflict in sudan, what has happened to children and theirfamilies is unimaginable. 2a million sudanese are in need of assistance, that's 14 million children in need of dire support. since the beginning of the conflict, 435 children have been killed. more than 2000 have been wounded. that's only what's reported. the actual numbers are much higher. it is a severe violation, a killing or injuring of a child every hourfor 100 days. it is an extraordinary set of numbers that you gave us there. what is the kind of support

that is most needed? unicef and partners on the ground are making a difference. we've reached 3 million children with health supplies throughout the country, it's a lot harder in darfurand khartoum. 1.7 million people with water but first we need access, removal of bureaucratic impediment, helping convoys get through with clearance and security, respect for humanitarian workers. 0ur colleagues for nsf in kartoum got beaten just this week. we need resources in order to be able to do the work. most importantly there has to be a political solution to this conflict. neither party is going to win militarily. let's get onto that. is there any hope of an end to this? it looks quite dire right now. but there are number of diplomatic efforts that need to be coordinated.

jedda talks, au talks that need to be brought together in order to put pressures on the parties of the conflict to come up with a political, nonmilitary solution. given it feels like no certainly imminent end to this, are you getting the support and the supplies that you need to be able to perform your role? more resources are needed. unicef affiliate for 480 million dollars this year to respond to this crisis. we're only 9% for that we appreciate every dollar received but more is needed. ted, thank you so much for coming on the program. i want to return to israel. a lot of pictures we've been keeping across and i've been promising to return to them when there are developments. just in the last couple of minutes the producer of this programme has been describing to me what happened.

0ne been describing to me what happened. one of the camera crews on the ground who'd been recording some live shots seem to be hit by water cannons and to fall over. the picture then disappeared. we're going to investigate exactly what happened there. just a couple of minutes ago we did see large groups of these protesters moving down the street. it seems a little calmer now. you can see in and out of traffic there. if you are just joining us, these protesters have been out on the streets for days. this is... we've been getting live pictures in from tel aviv. and so i'm going to double check where these live pictures are. because i don't want to get the wrong location. this is tel aviv. ignore that sign there. but basically these

are live pictures of somebody being dragged. i'vejust described are live pictures of somebody being dragged. i've just described that camera crew and what happened there. i think we have pictures of what happened. that was the moment that i was describing. that's the moment that the producer was talking me through just a couple of minutes ago. that was not live, there was a tape replay of what happened a few minutes ago. you can see the situation here seems to be developing and deteriorating at the same time. these protesters out on the streets, furious at what happened inside parliament today. they passed a law which basically makes it harder for supreme they passed a law which basically makes it harderfor supreme court they passed a law which basically makes it harder for supreme court to overrule the decisions of government. they say this is overreached by benjamin netanyahu is

right—wing government. they have been protesting every pretty much since the beginning of the year. you can see a water cannon being sprayed over protesters as it was earlier. and the camera crew from one of the agencies that so bravely gather this footage for us live seem to be hit and fall to the floor. another little pause, it seems like they're moving a little more slowly now as the vehicles move in. it might be a moment to take a breath and bring in our panel. we will keep across these pictures for you. we will keep across these pictures for you. caroline flint, former labour party government minister and mp. caroline, forgive us. we're going to stay on the pictures. give us your reflections to what is going on tonight in israel. i reflections to what is going on tonight in israel.— tonight in israel. i think it demonstrates _ tonight in israel. i think it demonstrates how - tonight in israel. i think it| demonstrates how worried tonight in israel. i think it - demonstrates how worried many tonight in israel. i think it _ demonstrates how worried many people are in israel about the efforts that

netanyahu would go through to maintain what is a pretty fragile six party coalition. that means that he needs the support of right—wing small parties to hold his government together. whatever peoples views around the situation for israel and palestine, it sometimes feels we're further away at finding any resolution to that situation. and within that losing what was once a proud boast in terms of israel being the only functioning democracy in the only functioning democracy in the region. his efforts to undermine the region. his efforts to undermine the courts i think, i completely understand. and dismantling the very proud democracy that israel has always stood on. leigh ann caldwell, the washington post live anchor. the thoughts they are from the us. well, president biden has made it clear that — well, president biden has made it clear that he is very uncomfortable

with what's — clear that he is very uncomfortable with what's happening in israel with only in_ with what's happening in israel with only in the — with what's happening in israel with only in the lead up or even into the lead up _ only in the lead up or even into the lead up to— only in the lead up or even into the lead up to this vote he's made it ctear— lead up to this vote he's made it clear that — lead up to this vote he's made it clear that he stands with the demonstrators who have been out in the streets _ demonstrators who have been out in the streets for 29 weeks now. protesting what could have happened and what _ protesting what could have happened and what did happen with this vote regarding — and what did happen with this vote regarding the court system they are. it also _ regarding the court system they are. it also comes one week after the president— it also comes one week after the president of israel was in the united — president of israel was in the united states meeting with president biden giving an address to congress. that made _ biden giving an address to congress. that made a little wave within itself — that made a little wave within itself as — that made a little wave within itself as there are some faction of congress — itself as there are some faction of congress who boycotted his speech for part _ congress who boycotted his speech for part because of what is happening in israel. allies of israel— happening in israel. allies of israel and the united states continue and repeatedly say that one of the _ continue and repeatedly say that one of the reasons they are so determined to protect israel is

because — determined to protect israel is because it is the only democracy in the middle — because it is the only democracy in the middle east. because it is the only democracy in the middle fast. and this undercuts that argument. and while there's been _ that argument. and while there's been no — that argument. and while there's been no threats yet revoking aid, $4 billion— been no threats yet revoking aid, $4 billion worth of aid the united states— billion worth of aid the united states gives you israel every year, there _ states gives you israel every year, there is— states gives you israel every year, there is some talk about perhaps providing. — there is some talk about perhaps providing, turning that aid to concessions or to demands. even though— concessions or to demands. even though the — concessions or to demands. even though the united states and israel are close _ though the united states and israel are close allies this has definitely rocked _ are close allies this has definitely rocked the relationship. absolutely fascinatina rocked the relationship. absolutely fascinating perspective. _ rocked the relationship. absolutely fascinating perspective. caroline, l fascinating perspective. caroline, it doesn't seem right now as we watch the police go in and more scuffles, more confrontations as frankly there have been over the last few hours for that from the live video feed we've been watching it has been fairly low level, from what the cameras have caught. it's

been kind of incidents like this as opposed to long running pitched battles or anything like that. but still pretty difficult to watch, pretty unpleasant. difficult to sense, given the scale of these protests and the number of people up and out notjust tonight and not just over the weekend but that's the beginning of the year, it's difficult to see the scale of that size of opposition and yet the legislation passing how any kind of compromise could be reached here. yes. the pictures we're looking at are in tel aviv and tel aviv is a place, i've been there, it's probably in some respects younger, i would looking in terms of its politics and its values, i think. there may be other parts of israel. what's interesting here in terms of as you said, maybe not as violent as

we seen in other countries but certainly we don't see water cannons on our sc streets in the uk. something like this happening in the united kingdom i think it would be a huge amount of dismay and concern. part of the problem is, it's always been a problem in israel is its voting system, the way it defined a proportional representation means that whoever wants to lead has to get in alliance of parties together. in the last 20 years increasingly the influence on more extreme right wing parties in israel have held the cards in terms of who is going to become the prime minister, who is going to lead the country. and this is a result of what we're seeing now. a huge proportion of the country is missing in this debate. in i think a more progressive value in the country that is missing because basically, they are not able

to get the coalition to gather.... that's why this party i presume chose not to take part in this vote. and by not taking part in this vote, the content for what was happening to the democratic system.— to the democratic system. leanne, what do you _ to the democratic system. leanne, what do you make _ to the democratic system. leanne, what do you make of _ to the democratic system. leanne, what do you make of the _ to the democratic system. leanne, what do you make of the argument from benjamin netanyahu and the government here that they have been democratically elected, they are following out the will of the people, they want to make these reforms and the supreme court and thejudges shouldn't reforms and the supreme court and the judges shouldn't overreach and these reforms are therefore necessary?— these reforms are therefore necessa ? ~ ~ . ., , necessary? while american officials are also making _ necessary? while american officials are also making the _ necessary? while american officials are also making the point _ necessary? while american officials are also making the point that - are also making the point that polling — are also making the point that polling shows that the protesters also show that this is in fact not overwhelmingly popular in israel despite — overwhelmingly popular in israel despite the coalition that netanyahu

at the bbc. of course we want to be honest and open and cover these events live as they are happening for them every now and again the camera angles do get quite close in on people receiving treatment and what ever made our idea is to cut away from the and not be too intrusive. i hope that is the balance we're trying to strive for that we're not always going to get it right but that is certainly our aim here. at the moment you can see flags waving and there is relative, again. to be fair, over the last few hours that's been pretty much the picture, there have been hundreds here and thousands out in tel aviv protesting against what's happened in parliament today. there has been at relative calm and static but there have been these occasional flashpoints. there have been these confrontations, certainly as we saw people needing medical attention for that in the last couple of hours we seen small fires in the streets. you can see one burning just in the bottom of that shot they are. we

will keep on monitoring these live pictures out of tel aviv and the events there in israel. for the moment we're going to take a little pause. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. 20 years ago you had to head south to see these birds. black winged stilt. slightly literal name perhaps of what is undoubtedly one of the world's most elegant birds. wildlife presenter bill 0ddie brought them to our tv screens from spain. now they're in kent. a pair arrived from africa back in the spring, and now four chicks have fledged on marshland. the site has been designed for wading birds that might be moving north. more than 600 acres of former arable farmland transformed over the past five years into a wildlife haven. the werth marshes site is among

a number of places the rspb have been preparing for new arrivals making space for nature as our climate changes. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. now it's time for the panel... the part of the show with the guests get to talk about what they want to talk about. ., ., , ., ., , talk about. carolyn, the floor is ours. talk about. carolyn, the floor is yours we _ talk about. carolyn, the floor is yours we had _ talk about. carolyn, the floor is yours. we had a _ talk about. carolyn, the floor is yours. we had a by— talk about. carolyn, the floor is yours. we had a by election - talk about. carolyn, the floor is | yours. we had a by election last week and and factory by elections. 0ne week and and factory by elections. one of the ones that everyone was saying it would fall, that i mean the tories would lose her labour would win didn't happen in uxbridge. the big issue everyone talking about is the fact that the mayor of london wants to introduce an ultra low emission zone across a wider part of london for that and basically the concerned is to use that to really speak to some of those people who

are not well off, they can't afford the latest electricjack. who actually will be penalised as a result of this new measure that's coming in in august ——jaguar. i think what's interesting in politics is what we've now see now is both a conservative and labour somehow retreating somewhat on green policies. because as these things become more obvious to the public and people think about how it's going to affect them and i'll make my stealth taxes to pay for it the political parties are doing enough to help those people cope with the change. i think we're going to see in the run—up to the general election match or more of these dividing lines on climate change and green policy. which is a sad thing because actually what the politicians need to do is find a way to be clear about how they are going to be clear about how they are going to help the least advantaged people be part of the journey to net zero instead of having a short reaction against it. i instead of having a short reaction auainst it. ., instead of having a short reaction auainst it. . ., ., instead of having a short reaction auainst it. . . ., ., instead of having a short reaction auainst it. . . . ., ., against it. i am afraid were out of time. we against it. i am afraid were out of time- we got _ against it. i am afraid were out of time- we got a — against it. i am afraid were out of time. we got a minute _ against it. i am afraid were out of time. we got a minute left - against it. i am afraid were out of time. we got a minute left for. against it. i am afraid were out of| time. we got a minute left for the leanne, the pressure now. what time. we got a minute left for the leanne, the pressure now. what you want to talk — leanne, the pressure now. what you

britain's first million—pound footballer, trever francis, has died at the age of 69 after suffering a heart attack in spain. the england international moved from birmingham city to nottingham forest where european glory followed. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss has more. a moment of football history, arriving in nottingham forest as britain's first million pound player under the watch of manager brian clark. it was a price tag but even then, francis knew would define his career. quite excited about it but, i realise that when i got on the pitch, i've got to forget about it and get on the plane, ——playing that's most important factor. if it was a remarkable transfer fee at the time, well, francis was a remarkable talent.

his flare and finishing were honed at birmingham city in the big money moved to forrest that brett his greatest moments at the european cup final in 1979. the million pound man _ puts his name on the scoresheet. the east midlands club was turned into european champions and astonishing feat which they repeated the following year. and he played more than 50 times for england, scoring twice in the 1982 world cup. after retiring as a player he received some success as a manager guiding them to two cup finals, but moments like this is what he will be best remembered for. and in the sport from million—pound players are now commonplace, british football's very first. saudi arabian side al hilal are understood to have been given

permission to talk to kylian mbappe, after reportedly making a world record bid of over $259 million for the paris st—germain forward. the 24 year old france captain only has a year remaining on his contract and french footballjournalist robin biner thinks it may happen. enough to consider the money that's involved and the fact that psg want mbappe for the club. the fact that mbappe is quite happy to leave in 2024, obviously wants to move to madrid ultimately. we're talking about a one—year deal. there is every chance given the money involved, we're talking perhaps a salary, cbs reporting 700 million euros per year. that's going to be hard for mbappe to turn down. but you're talking about that sort money you have to give the chance that he will accept an offer. now to the women's world cup in australia and new zealand — brazil had a comfortable win in their opening match, beating debutants,

panama, 4—0 in adelaide. ary borges was the star of the show scoring a hat—trick. the pick of the four brazillian goals though was the third, scored by bia zaneratto, but the beautiful backheel to set it up came from borges. that puts them top of group f ahead of france and jamaica who have a point apiece. germany began their world cup campaign in style with a 6—0 win in melbourne, beating another team making a first up appearance in morocco. alexandra popp scored twice in the first half as the germans completely dominated the match. they continued to cause problems after the break, as lea schuller completed the rout following two own goals from morocco. the win puts them top of group h on three points, with rivals colombia and south korea to play their opener in sydney on tuesday. elsewhere italy scraped past argentina, winning1—0 in auckland. striker cristiana girelli came off the bench to head the 87th—minute winner. it looked like it was going to be a frustrating day for italy who had

two goals chalked off for offside offences. now to cricket where england have named an unchanged 14 man squad for the fifth and final ashes test match against australia starting at the 0val on thursday. england will be hoping to win the match and draw the series 2—all after being frustrated by the weather in the fourth match at old trafford. england were on top after three days before rain scuppered their hopes of a victory, meaning australia retain the ashes. germany's liane lippert won the sprint for the line as she claimed victory on the second stage of the tour de france femmes. in a rainswept finale 25 year old lippert came through to take the win while belgium's lotte kopecky retained the overall race lead by 49 seconds with six stages remaining. and that's all the sport for now.

hello. already sitting there wettestjuly on record. you probably won't be too surprised to hear that we have got more rain in the forecast at times through the remainder of this week. tuesday brings a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers. we won't all be seeing the rain during the day on tuesday for the let's look at the rest of the week. this is the jet stream, these wins continuing to dry areas of low pressure interests are shores with showers or longer spells of rain moving their way through from the atlantic and pushing gradually eastwards. tuesday morning a few spells of shower irain across parts of central scotland. the atch out of southwest england and anglia for wales, southwest england and anglia. heading to the date is there a cloud of rain notches further south ends showers bubble up for eastern scotland in eastern england which could be quite heavy, potentially thundery with hail mixed in. a bit more cloud and a few showers later on for northern ireland. sense by new spells,

southwest of england is 15 to 21 degrees at best for the a little below for this time of year. heading through the overnight period and into wednesday most of the showers tending to easy way for the one or two continuing through back to wales, northwest england but another fairly fresh night with temperatures getting down at single figures in the countryside. heading through wednesday here is the next area of low pressure. 0nly gradually moving its way in from the head of dry weather particular for the morning through much of scotland for the few showers parts of northern and eastern england with sunshine for east anglia in the southeast with a clouded rain spell in from northern england, parts of wales in the southwest of england later in the afternoon. temperatures quite a degree or so up but still below average, onlyjust 14 to 21, perhaps 22 in the south. thursday at low pressure sets out towards the northwest of the uk for that we still get a few weather fronts, could be great for northern scotland perhaps on the south coast of england, quite breezy. elsewhere

sunny spells again and a few showers popping out still temperatures only about 15 to 21, perhaps 22 degrees on thursday. that unsettled shower he spell continues right through the end of the week and the weekend into next week for the perhaps something eventually a bit drier and warmer as we head through towards the second week of august. bye for now.

tonight at 10pm... an outpouring of love and affection for the bbc�*s george alagiah, who has died of cancer at the age of 67.

george became known to audiences more than 30 years ago as a foreign correspondent, reporting on conflict and famine with a unique empathy. he became the presenter of the six 0'clock news 20 years ago, but in 2014 came his diagnosis of bowel cancer. you know, i wish i hadn't had cancer, obviously, but i have cancer. and i'm glad of the things i've learned about myself and about my community, my friends and my family as a result. we'll be looking back at the life and career of this truly remarkable colleague and friend, a mentor to many here and an inspiration to everyone. also on the programme... wildfires continue on the greek island of rhodes — as people contemplate the devastation, greece's prime minister says it shows the climate crisis is already here. and, in israel, mass protests continue tonight, as mps approve a controversial law curtailing the power ofjudges.
