more fires, more heat, more evacuations. the plane fighting the fire crashes into a hillside. the greek air force says two of its pilots were on board. clashes overnight as israel passes the first of its judicial reform laws. speculation mounts over kelly and mbappe�*s future, will he see him and over £50 million a month? we start in greece where an air force plane helping fight wildfires on the island of evia has crashed. at least two crew members are

thought to be on board. the plane was one of three aircraft and around 100 firefighters battling the fires on the island. the prime minister has warned of tough days ahead. fires continue to burn on several of greece's islands as well as parts of the mainland. these are the latest pictures from roads that give you a sense of the intensity of what we firefighters are dealing with. emergency teams fighting flames nonstop on dozens of france, the largest greek island of crete has been put on high alert. these are the pictures from italy where the main island on the island of sicily was closed as smoke began to approach the runway. an international group of scientists has said the current conditions would have been virtually impossible without human caused climate change. let's start from hearing from greece's prime minister.

translation: the next few days, especially today, tomorrow and i thursday, will be difficult days. after that, i hope the conditions will help us more and that's why we all obviously remain on high alert. let me state the obvious. in the face of what the entire planet is facing, especially the mediterranean, which is a hotspot for climate change, there is no magic defence. if there was obviously we would have implemented it. these will you live pictures from roads, the scenes ofjust the scale of one of the wildfires they are battling, the hillside with the wind kicking up constantly with flames and the intensity is so obvious just giving you a snapshot of what the fire crews are dealing with. let's bring in our correspondent on the island of rhodes. before we get to that, when it is up—to—date in terms

of that has crashed earlier in the day, are you hearing any more details? i day, are you hearing any more details? ., day, are you hearing any more details? . , ., ., ., , , details? i am 'ust going to address the fact that — details? i am just going to address the fact that there _ details? i am just going to address the fact that there is _ details? i am just going to address the fact that there is a _ details? i am just going to address the fact that there is a lot - details? i am just going to address the fact that there is a lot of - the fact that there is a lot of activity behind me first because as you can see some of the fires you were talking about are right behind me, i was there earlier and have now moved, ourteam me, i was there earlier and have now moved, our team was told to leave. there are plumes of smoke throughout the day, the last ten i spoke to you, this fire and smoke has continued to grow. it is now reaching all the way that way. planes and military people and the fact is the light even changes here because the smoke has become so strong it is literally covering the sun. different parts of the day. you asked about the planes and i did speak to a hellenic fire service spokesperson who said the plane that crashed was not a fire plane, it was

an air force plane with two air force pilots on board who are trained to fight fires and those were the only details could give me so far. we will have details likely to come out soon from the air force but that is their department, not the fire service's department. it highlights what the officials have said, anyone fighting the fires is risking their lives and they were in that area that was on evia and evacuated around the midnight earlier, those fires clearly have not been easy to respond to, clearly the fire service and fire service are not exaggerating when they say the very difficult to contain. intended evacuations and flight out? the fact is these fires on the island of rhodes are on the south,

important to say officials keep reminding people this is not happening across the island, the whole of greece. those that were affected by the fires in the southern part of rhodes, in areas in the mainland as well where villagers were evacuated, that is no comfort to them and some tourists that he met yesterday were desperately trying to get home. hundreds have arrived already in the uk, many are still trying to leave, airlines have been saving seats on empty planes for them. the uk government for example has sent a rapid deployment team to greece, they arrived earlier and have been here since the fires broke out, since about yesterday. five of them, in order to respond to the need, they have also sent british red cross workers to respond to the psychological need because of quick people who experienced scenes

like the ones behind me or the pictures we saw over the weekend are the things that will have a very big impact and one you will surely not forget. we impact and one you will surely not fortet. ~ , ., , forget. we will be back a little bit later on the _ forget. we will be back a little bit later on the programme. - forget. we will be back a little bit later on the programme. let's . forget. we will be back a little bit l later on the programme. let's turn to a group of scientists who concluded the extreme weather events would have been virtually impossible without human induced climate change. let's go to our climate and science reporter who has more details of that study. the scientists from the us, uk, netherlands, they have been looking at the recent is to identify fingerprint of climate change, what have they actually found? this study is b a have they actually found? this study is by a grow) — have they actually found? this study is by a grow) of _ have they actually found? this study is by a group of scientists _ have they actually found? this study is by a group of scientists called - is by a group of scientists called the world, whether attribution group. not specifically the wildfires we talked about but the ones we have seen in southern europe

and what they are doing is trying to sayjust how big a role climate change had in the wildfires and they say without climate change, those heatwaves, without climate change high temperatures would have been virtually impossible, they say that in southern europe, temperatures were between 2.5 degrees higher higher in china, making it 50 times more likely. what they are saying is these types of events are not unusual, they are not rare, they are part and parcel of what the warmed world is and that's obviously because of the impact of decades of humans burning fossil fuels and that releasing those greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. h0 releasing those greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.— releasing those greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. no longer being tredicted, into the atmosphere. no longer being predicted. they _ into the atmosphere. no longer being predicted, they are _ into the atmosphere. no longer being predicted, they are now. _ into the atmosphere. no longer being predicted, they are now. experts - predicted, they are now. experts also say almost all societies remain unprepared for the deadly extreme eat we are likely to see? that ritht. it

come into scoop the water and release it. by yesterday evening they did seem to have it under control and this morning my husband woke me what i thought was early but it was only... woke me what i thought was early but it was only- - -— it was only... that lined the corfu 'ust it was only... that lined the corfu just dronping _ it was only... that lined the corfu just dronping out- _ it was only... that lined the corfu just dropping out. let _ it was only... that lined the corfu just dropping out. let me - it was only... that lined the corfu just dropping out. let me just - it was only... that lined the corfu just dropping out. let me just try| just dropping out. let me just try and see if it is going to restore as we see the pictures that have been coming into us from the island. no, unfortunately that line just dropping out but certainly the evacuation order has been issued now in parts of corfu. yet another island with people moving on the ground and of course a lot of people also moving and trying to get away and get out from greece. we will keep an update on all of that in the next little while but that, the latest from corfu as we were

watching the pictures from rhodes earlier. we will return to that story later. let's turn to another really important story,. doctors across israel have started a 24—hour strike in protest againstjudicial reforms that curb the powers of the country's supreme court. 0vernight, police clashed with demonstrators after the israeli parliament passed the first in series of laws that have sparked deep divisions. security forces used water cannon and made dozens of arrests. 0ur correspondent sent us this. after the turmoil yesterday when the streets were full of angry protesters to passage of the government was not bill, there is a real morning taking stock down in the park next to the knesset, which had been

filled with tents of protesters who arrived in the last two or three days, that is now emptying. they are all packing up their belongings, packing up their tents and heading home, probably to reflect on what happened yesterday. everyone there in the protest camp recognising that they suffered a defeat yesterday, that benjamin netanyahu's government has succeeded in passing the first of its expansive reforms to the judicial system. and everyone now wonders where this story is going to go next. there may well be challenges at the supreme court, the very body that the government is trying to limit the powers of. so there may be challenges to the bill that was passed yesterday. and there are going to be other consequences facing the government. the possibility of industrial action by the country's trade unions. also, worryingly for the security establishment, the possibility that thousands of reservists will react to the passage of yesterday's bill by simply not showing up for reserve duty.

in israel that is a very big deal. but for now there is a real sense that everyone is taking stock. the prime minister in a televised address last night called for unity and calm but also indicated that his government was determined to press ahead with its judicial reforms. where that happens, in what form that happens next, no—one quite knows, but, for now, the situation, here injerusalem at least, is very calm. let speak to leader of the israeli labour party, joins us live on the programme. your reaction to this law being passed yesterday? it’s programme. your reaction to this law being passed yesterday?— being passed yesterday? it's really a blow. being passed yesterday? it's really a blow- many _ being passed yesterday? it's really a blow- many of — being passed yesterday? it's really a blow. many of us _ being passed yesterday? it's really a blow. many of us did _ being passed yesterday? it's really a blow. many of us did not - being passed yesterday? it's really a blow. many of us did not believe | a blow. many of us did not believe that netanyahu would go through with it. given he understands how massive the objection to it was. people who never took a stand in israel before,

never took a stand in israel before, never before, people who he had nominated over the years from the security establishments,, the economists, the army as you said. as your correspondent said, really from every sphere of society came up and said you careful. people from all over the world, president biden, other leaders of western countries have said to him do not do that. stop. but he did went and did it anyway and this is certainly a blow. i have to say the fact that he went on television yesterday and spoke about unity is something he always does, he lies as he breathes. it's not something israelis are surprised to find out and the majority here opposes what they passed yesterday. let me come in with a question. benjamin netanyahu denies this undermines democracy. if you had the

numbers you could have defeated this. you did and that is how democracy works, isn't it? unfortunately, in israel, the tradition that people from parties vote according to their conscious and not according to demand loyal to and not according to demand loyal to a leader of party does not exist. in netanyahu's hero. ever since he is prime minister it is not allowed for people from his coalition to vote otherwise than the coalition demands and so even though we saw the minister of defence begging his fellow ministers yesterday till the last moment to reconsider and stop he still voted with them and it goes for many others unfortunately. given that they have even a majority that they do have let's remember it is a 6456, not a 9030 or 120. as we have

been seeing in the last months, in the public, israeli public, even a big bunch of those who voted for the coalition are opposing this reform in what we call a coup. he really had no legitimacy to do that. let me ask ou had no legitimacy to do that. let me ask you about _ had no legitimacy to do that. let me ask you about the _ had no legitimacy to do that. let me ask you about the consequences - ask you about the consequences because there is this threat from reservists to resign. how concerned are you in terms of national security if that was to happen? listen, the threat on national security has been showing up because they are very determined to defend our democracy but the danger in security measures has been the turmoil within israel and very happily. netanyahu is unfortunately,

discussions were conducted. netanyahu is not to be trusted, he unfortunately is damaging the state of israel and its democracy profoundly and dramatically and the fight against it will continue and we will prevail.— we will prevail. thank you very much, we will prevail. thank you very much. we _ we will prevail. thank you very much, we have _ we will prevail. thank you very much, we have to _ we will prevail. thank you very much, we have to leave - we will prevail. thank you very much, we have to leave it - we will prevail. thank you very l much, we have to leave it there we will prevail. thank you very - much, we have to leave it there but thank you forjoining us.— thank you for 'oining us. thank you for havint thank you forjoining us. thank you for having me- _ thank you forjoining us. thank you for having me. around _ thank you forjoining us. thank you for having me. around the - thank you forjoining us. thank you for having me. around the world i thank you forjoining us. thank you i for having me. around the world and across the uk. _ for having me. around the world and across the uk, you _ for having me. around the world and across the uk, you watching - for having me. around the world and across the uk, you watching bbc- across the uk, you watching bbc news. a 41—year—old man and a five—year—old boy have been found deadin five—year—old boy have been found dead in a house in leicester. emergency services were called to the scene yesterday evening at about 9pm. leicestershire police are investigating circumstances surrounding the deaths. virgin media 02 is to cut 2000 jobs by the end of the year, including closures that

had been announced. sse has been fined almost £10 million for overcharging we national grid, 0fgem claimed excessive fees for switching off the supply of renewable power at times when the grid had to much supply. the number of people living in temporary accommodation in england has reached accommodation in england has reached a record high, officialfigures show almost 105,000 households were affected at the end of march. live with bbc news, global attention has been focused in ukraine, while global attention has been focused on the war in ukraine, yemen' s long running conflict is grinding on — and children remain in the firing line. the united nations says more than 11,000 children have been killed or injured in nine years of war, in the arab

world s poorest country. there's been less violence since a temporary truce last year between houthi rebels backed by iran, who seized the capital sanaa in 2014 and a saudi—led coalition backed by the uk and the us which intervened in 2015 trying to reinstall the internationally recognised government. but the young can't escape the danger. yemen's young known nothing but war. eight years on, the guns are quieter, but a generation bears the scars. and if there's one place that shows they're suffering, it's al—rasheed street, a front line neighborhood in the city of taiz. it's home to badr al—harbi, who's seven. he and his brother, hashim, were hit by houthi shelling last october, coming home from school. since the attack, the boys' world has shrunk. they no longer go to classes. their physical wounds may have healed, but their trauma remains like the danger — conflict echoes around them. do you hear a lot of sounds from the war, hasim?

from the war, hashim? "bullets, explosions, air strikes, shells", he says. hashim, is it very scary when you hear the explosions and the gunfire? "i feel scared and run. "there's a lot of explosions." bader wants to be a doctor when he's older. he wants to help people. first, the brothers need to return to school. "i want to go back", he tells me. "but my leg has been cut off. "how can i go out of the house?" and right next door, another little life upended. amir was maimed on the same

day last october, in a second round of shelling. it killed his cousin and his uncle in their own home. amir�*s father, sharif al—amri, shares his pain. he says his sleeping son, who's just three, needs another operation and has deep wounds of memory. translation: he remembers every moment from the - shelling to the hospital. he says, "this happened to my uncle. "this happened to my cousin." he talks about the smoke and the blood. it's always on his mind. back on the street, sharif tries to distract amir. "don't be scared, my love. "you're a man." but he's just a child

who has seen too much. he asks amir what he wants in the future. "buy me a gun", he says. "i will put a bullet in my gun... "and fire at those who took my leg. "it will go right to them." most of the children maimed and killed in taiz over the years have been victims of the houthis, but some died in air strikes by the saudi led coalition. if peace comes, and many yemenis have their doubts, the young will carry this war forever. let's talk to matt smith of the halo trust which helps clear minds. thank

you forjoining us, it is notjust snipers and shales, the danger of mind for so snipers and shales, the danger of mind forso many snipers and shales, the danger of mind for so many and we saw the impact on such young lives. what is the scale of the problem?— impact on such young lives. what is the scale of the problem? thanks for havint me. the scale of the problem? thanks for having me- it — the scale of the problem? thanks for having me- it is _ the scale of the problem? thanks for having me. it is an _ the scale of the problem? thanks for having me. it is an absolutely - the scale of the problem? thanks for having me. it is an absolutely vast i having me. it is an absolutely vast problem quite frankly, up until the invasion of ukraine last year it was commonly held that yemen was the world's most mined and explosive affected state and it has more people in need today actually than those areas in ukraine. 24 million people in need in yemen out of a population of millions, about 80% of the population. the actual size of the population. the actual size of the problem at the moment is not quantified. we have been working in yemen for the last three years and in the city for the last one. in that time, we have cleared

explosives, about 180 tonnes of ammunition which is a massive amount but we are barely scratching the surface. we need renewed commitment from the international community. in from the international community. in terms of the minds are they concentrated on a particular area or is it pretty much everywhere? there are certain areas _ is it pretty much everywhere? there are certain areas more _ is it pretty much everywhere? there are certain areas more effective - are certain areas more effective such as city and around other urban centres such as down in the south and the west coast but it is just not mines, it is explosive devices like ied, and other things such as rockets and grenades in the report we just saw involves children that had unfortunately tragically been affected, sometimes when shells failed to detonate the remain in a

and relatively cool compared to what the mediterranean experienced yesterday. in some spots we had extreme temperatures, the highest of which was recorded in sardinia — 48.2 degrees celsius. not a record, but close to it. i want to show you what's going to be happening over the next 24 hours. the jet stream will take a bit of a dive across europe and into the mediterranean. that essentially means that the heat will be pushed away towards more eastern parts of the med, so a huge drop for this central mediterranean region. in palermo it was 47 degrees on monday. by wednesday we're talking about 29. so a huge, huge drop in those values. let's have a look at the forecast for the rest of today. sunny spells, scattered showers. temperatures will be typically in the high teens for most of us. 17 there in glasgow, about that in birmingham and maybe nudging up to about 20 or 21 degrees further south. through this evening and overnight, we'll have more persistent showers moving through north—western parts of the country here, eventually reaching the lake district, lancashire, across the pennines and maybe into lincolnshire.

most of us, i think, are in for a dry night and relatively bright, if not sunny, start to the day on wednesday, ahead of this area of low pressure. the weather front will be crossing ireland early in the day, then reaching western parts of the uk here. let's have a look at that. here's 9.00 in the morning. a lot of dry and bright weather, bar the odd shower, but the bulk of that cloud and rain is out towards the west at this stage. this is 4.00 in the afternoon. it's raining in northern ireland. the rain isjust nudging into wales, the south—west, but look at many of these other parts of the country further east — it's actually going to be bright. through wednesday night into thursday, the weather front sweeps through. it will be quite heavy for a time. i think on thursday it's a day of thick cloud with occasional sunny spells and also showers. quite a muggy air, so those temperatures will be typically in the low 20s, maybe pushing 23 or 24 degrees for the south and south—east. here's the outlook.

into the weekend, it's once again a changeable picture and that's how it's going to remain really into early august. bye— bye.

you are watching bbc news. more wildfires, more

heat, more evacuations. greece says it's fighting the flames non stop on dozens of fronts.
