and storm babet continues to better parts of the uk — bringing high winds, torrential rain, and severe flooding. also risk to life warnings. hello. let's start with the breaking news of the last hour. sir bobby charlton — arguably manchester united and england's greatest ever footballer — has died at the age of 86. footballer — has died he was diagnosed with dementia in 2020. for england, he will forever be associated with the world cup victory in 1966. by the time he retired in 1973, he had scored 216 goals in 751 games for manchester united. andy swiss looks back at his life. commentator: maybe a shot from charlton. i it's worth trying.

he was the man who turned scoring goals into a way of life. commentator: charlton trying to get i the shot and it's on his right foot. i beauty! 49 for england, 249 for manchester united. sir bobby charlton's record stood for decades — the legacy of one of football's most remarkable careers. born in northumberland, charlton first represented england's schoolboys, and in 1954, hejoined the club, which would define him — manchester united. commentator: charlton scores a beauty. - they've equalised. but then came tragedy, the munich air crash of 1958, in which 23 people, including eight united players, died. charlton suffered only minor injuries. i'd like to say a few words to my mother. i hope she's 0k and taken it well. but it was an experience which shaped his life. it's unbelievable really, that something like that should happen and all your pals get killed and suddenly you're... you're there with hardly a scratch on you. and just... sometimes i feel it doesn't

seem right, you know? slowly, united rebuilt their team with charlton its cornerstone. commentator: charlton headed it home. - and, in 1968, it was his two goals against benfica, which guided them to their ultimate prize — the european cup. commentator: how they cheered as bobby charlton laid _ —— led his men up to receive the handsome, outsized trophy. a decade on, from the horror of munich, rarely has victory been quite so poignant. but if that was the pinnacle of his club career, his england career scaled even greater heights at the world cup in 1966. commentator: charlton, scored. his goals, including two against portugal in the semi—final, proved crucial. commentator: this could be it, it is. - and that could be the goal that puts england in the final. and the triumph which followed earned him a place in the country's sporting folklore. in 1970, charlton clocked up his 100th international

cap in typical style. commetntator: charlton gets the goal. _ but time was catching up with him. in 1973, he played his final match for united before becoming a director there during the decades of success under sir alex ferguson. he did far more than that, though, helping charities and sporting projects, including london's successful olympic bid. he received a knighthood and many other accolades. in 2008, his brotherjack, with whom he'd had an often—strained relationship, presented him with a bbc lifetime achievement award. i was fortunate enough to be good at the game. i found football was easy. i could never understand it when people couldn't play this game of football, and i've achieved almost everything that i set out to do. but, along the way, i had to do it with a lot of really, really good friends. it was a typically generous sentiment from a man known for his integrity as well as his remarkable talent — one of the most celebrated and most prolific players the football has ever seen.

—— that football has ever seen. commentator: they 'ust don't come any better than that. — sir bobby charlton, who has died at the age of 86. sir bobby's family has released a statement on his passing. they say, "it is with great sadness that we share the news that sir bobby passed peacefully in the early hours of saturday morning surrounded by his family. his family would like to pass on their thanks to everyone who has contributed to his care and for the many people who have loved and supported him." manchester united has also released a statement. it said manchester united are in mourning following the passing of sir bobby charlton, one of the greatest and most beloved players in the history of our club.

stories. the first aid trucks have crossed into gaza after the rafah crossing from egypt partially opened this morning — throwing a lifeline to gazans. it's not known whether foreign passport holders and dual nationals will be allowed to leave. these latest pictures show the first trucks entering, loaded with food, water and medicine, which are desperately needed by civilians inside gaza. israel has agreed to let 20 tracks three. not fuel, needed to power hospital generations and water pumping stations. —— hospital generators. the un says at least 100 aid trucks are needed a day to cover urgent needs there. israel sealed its borders with gaza — imposing a total siege on the strip 12 days ago. the rafah crossing between egypt and gaza is now the only way to allow vital supplies in. 0ur middle east correspondent tom bateman reports from jerusalem on the day's developments. after a ten—day wait, the lorries carrying desperately needed water, food and medicine finally began rolling into gaza this morning. a glimmer of hope delivered

on the back of a lorry. "20 trucks have come in, thanks to the un," says this aid worker, among those who have been waiting on the border with egypt. the aid deal was brokered by the us. egypt called for the israelis to stop bombing the crossing. israel wanted guarantees the supplies couldn't be stolen by hamas. this is a start but aid groups say much more is needed. medical needs in gaza are huge. so what we need is a sustained aid access. we have more supplies coming to egypt and, hopefully, we will be able to ship them because the more we wait, the more lives will be lost and situations are getting desperate in hospitals in gaza. israel's bombardment went on this morning, while palestinian rockets were fired from the strip. gaza's humanitarian crisis is deepening.

tahreer is sheltering with her six children in a school building. translation: there is not even 1% of a good, healthy _ and safe life for a child. there is no safety. if we don't die from war, we will die from epidemics and diseases. meanwhile, the family of two american hostages released in gaza last night spoke of theirjoy. natalie and her motherjudith raanan were handed over to the red cross and received by the israeli army. they are the first captives to be freed. their family said they were thinking of all the others. singing. more than 200 people, including children and the elderly, are still being held hostage by hamas. israel has said it will maintain its siege until they are freed. for their loved ones, last night's release may bring some hope, a faint light in the darkness of war.

hospital. the meeting in the un is to make sure the priority for at this very small amount of aid make sure hamas is not involved in distributing or taking any of these. we understand from very early in the morning, from a senior hamas source, hamas has agreed to some form of not intervening in this visit. the crossing is open from our side and we are not going to intervene. the un will handle the distribution of what they have today. very small amount of medicine and food and probably some medical equipment but very big hope after that that egypt wants a humanitarian corridor to feed those people who need in this area, especially the people in the southern part of gaza city. we are

talking about two thirds of the population in this area. we understand that more than 4500 trucks on the other side of the world and in egypt waiting for that meeting to finish and for the mechanism to be clear. 0nce everybody is happy with the outcome of that meeting and the outcome of the first shipment, i think tomorrow will after tomorrow, the first shipment, i think tomorrow will aftertomorrow, it the first shipment, i think tomorrow will after tomorrow, it is a matter of time, we can see more and more goods and food are delivered. for now we are certain to say that nothing has been distributed. all of the 20 trucks that were loaded back to back on the land between egypt and gaza, on day one. they had to say that today there were less strikes unless hamas rockets into israel. there is no official ceasefire. we try to ask us about it

telling us there is a glimmer of hope for people living in gaza after the first convoy of trucks pass through the rafah crossing. that was only 20. the un are saying it needs 100 trucks a day to meet the ongoing humanitarian needs. israel has continued to bombard gaza, including the south. the health ministry says, 4385 people have now been killed since israel began its air strikes. 1756 of the dead are children. 976 are women. more than 1400 people were killed when hamas attacks have on israel two weeks ago. israel says 307 other soldiers have been killed since then. it has raised a number of hostages to 210. an american

mother and daughter were released late on friday. arab leaders have used a peace summit in cairo to condemn israel for what they called the collective punishment of civilians in gaza. they've been speaking at a peace summit in cairo. palestinian president mahmoud abbas is also at that conference. he's head of the palestinian authority, which controls areas of the occupied west bank, but not the hamas—run gaza strip. he used his opening remarks to say that palestinians will not be forced off their land. translation: we warn against any i attempts to displace our people i in gaza beyond its borders. we also warn against any evictions of palestinians from their homes, or displacement from jerusalem or the west bank. we will not accept displacement. we will remain steadfast on our land, no matter the challenges. the un secretary general antonio guterres described the scene

a reminder of our top story. this is a reminder of our top story. this is a seen live in gaza, dj —— a day of hope for some people as vehicles carrying aid were allowed in. 20 may be crossing but there is hope that more aid convoys will be allowed through. do stay with us here on bbc news. some parts of the country have had between 100 millimetres of rain and 200 millimetres of rain. the red warning has expire from eastern scotland. the amber warning for heavy rain is still valid in the north of scotland. we had to wait a little while before this weather front completely cleared away. i

much better across scotland. look at the sunshine. 11 degrees in aberdeen. sunday into monday, the next area of low pressure approaches and this one will reach southern parts of the uk. another when front will reach northern ireland as well. through the early hours of monday the next weather front approaches. many parts of the country will wake up many parts of the country will wake up to sunshine. actually be a very decent day across scotland. in terms of the weather, northern england also fairly bright. across the south the next spell of rain is approaching. that weather front will be sweeping north through the course of monday night. the outlook is looking very unsettled across the uk with the risk of further heavy rain and also baleful swing is right across the country. a very unsettled outlook on the way. goodbye. —— gale force winds.

england's rugby world cup, cricket world cup defence is hanging by a thread after they were thrashed by south africa by 229 runs in mumbai. the south africa side got off to a strong start, but their innings was turbo—charged by heinrich carson who century took them to 399—7. in response, england never got started. ben stokes was out for five on his return to the international side. a late partnership between gus atkinson and mark wood was eventually halted as england were bowled out for 170 by an impressive south africa, as england were left staring at a possible humiliating early exit. next up for england is sri lanka, who secured their first win of the tournament beating the netherlands, chasing 262 to win. sri lanka got to their target with almost a couple of overs to spare. they won by five wickets. england

are playing south africa also at the rugby world cup and they are meeting injust over rugby world cup and they are meeting in just over two hours with the two sides competing to meet new zealand in the final. england lost to the south africa side in the world cup final in yokohama four years ago and although revenge would be nice, the prospect of just although revenge would be nice, the prospect ofjust reaching that final again is clearly motivation enough. it is the semifinal. i think if that is not enough to get you up for a game, i don't know what will. so you're right, everyone is different. ultimately, we do have to be on the same page and get that buzz and that feeling and everyone will go about that differently. we have got over 24 hours know to do that everyone takes their own different time, but for me, there is no better place you would rather beat than a semifinal against south africa. in would rather beat than a semifinal against south africa.— against south africa. in that semifinal — against south africa. in that semifinal is _ against south africa. in that semifinal is at _ against south africa. in that semifinal is at 8pm - against south africa. in that semifinal is at 8pm tonight. j against south africa. in that - semifinal is at 8pm tonight. that's all from the bbc sport centre for now. thank you very much. staying with the main news and sport today, and

because he was a gent of the old—skool. you heard that modesty in that clip, ijust happens to be good at football, he said. and that is what he was like if you met him —— i just happened. and bobby stopped for everyone who didn't want to meet him and everybody did want to meet him at old trafford. he would always have time, he would oars have a smile, he would always have patients, he would always have advice. my boys when they were quite young had the privilege of meeting him and i still remember him advising them how they could get better at football. he said, it's easy, just find a ball, find a wall. kick right foot, left foot. right foot, left foot. and find your weakest foot and keep kicking again and again. he was a man who will be so badly missed, the entire manchester united family, which remember, is what 4 million fans in

this country and millions more in the world. but i think he will be missed for another reason. that munich air disaster you heard in the report, it was so long ago and before i was born back in 1958. it was front—page news that day and the people of manchester stopped, the world in many ways stopped as they heard of the deaths of so many young, brilliant sporting stars. bobby as he said was one of the lucky ones, thrown out of the wreckage when so many of his team—mates died. still strapped into his chair. but he brought hope from despair. because with those other players, he was back on the pitch within weeks. notjust winning that european cup final, notjust scoring two goals in that european cup final, notjust winning for united

the league as well, but proving that those younger men would honour the memory of those who died by becoming the great, and he was the greatest. more of course on that story and the death of sir bobby charlton on the bbc news website where we are running a live page with tributes and updates. now back to the ongoing story of the war between israel and hamas. qatar's foreign minister has stressed it is continuing the coordination with the us and international partners to release hostages and reduce escalation in the gaza strip. the ministry has said that in a statement which has been released. it follows the release of two american hostages by hamas last night. mother and daughterjudith raanan and natalie had been held for nearly two weeks and they are the first to be released since the war with israel and gaza began. they were handed overin and gaza began. they were handed over in the gaza strip and they are

now home. the pairfrom nahal 0z kibbutz were visiting family in israel. the families of 210 other hostages are anxiously awaiting news. my colleague has been speaking to one of them. tell us more about the conversation you have been having. the conversation you have been havinu. , , ., , the conversation you have been havin.. , , ., ,~ having. yes, this was really a “0 ul having. yes, this was really a joyful moment _ having. yes, this was really a joyful moment for _ having. yes, this was really a joyful moment for the - having. yes, this was really a | joyful moment for the family, having. yes, this was really a - joyful moment for the family, some of their relatives have been speaking to the media and banking us officials and also the people who have supported them during this very difficult time. we don't know why hamas released these two hostages first. we understand, they say it was for humanitarian reasons. but the israeli government says this is because hamas was under military and diplomatic pressure. and as you mentioned, qatar played a crucial role in negotiating between the group and the us government. when the mother and daughter were

released, they had a phone conversation with presidentjoe biden and after that, he said he was overjoyed at their release and working to reunite other american families. according to the us government, there are around ten american still held by hamas. 0ne government, there are around ten american still held by hamas. one of them is a 23—year—old hirsh goldberg from california. the family understand he was at the supernova music festival when it was attacked by hamas. they say they had eyewitness reports that one of his arms was severed during that attack. they are worried about his safety and whether he is safe and well, whether he getting medical support. i have been speaking to his mother rachel goldberg, urging officials to do what they can so he can be released. do what they can so he can be released-— do what they can so he can be released. , , ., , ., ., released. keep your pedal to the medal, released. keep your pedal to the medal. keep _ released. keep your pedal to the medal, keep working, _ released. keep your pedal to the medal, keep working, i- released. keep your pedal to the medal, keep working, i know- released. keep your pedal to the l medal, keep working, i know they released. keep your pedal to the - medal, keep working, i know they are working _ medal, keep working, i know they are working tirelessly, drink more coffee — working tirelessly, drink more coffee and keep on working. there

seeing happening in the middle east. for the moment, thank you very much for bringing us up—to—date on that. and let's take you live to israel. a demonstration is currently taking place in tel aviv. 0f demonstration is currently taking place in tel aviv. of families of some of the people who have been taken hostage. and they are chanting, bring the hostages home. and they are outside the israeli defence ministry headquarters. and i was saying earlier, we have had a statement in the last hour from qatar's foreign ministry saying that it is continuing its coordination with the us and international partners to release hostages and reduce escalation in the gaza strip. sheikh mohammed spoke to his us counterpart antony blinken in a phone call on saturday. as you can see, families desperate to be

reunited with their relatives. well, as we have been saying, 20 lorries carrying desperately needed aid have crossed into the gaza strip for the first time since the israel—gaza war broke out two weeks ago. earlier, i spoke to an nhs doctor based in birmingham in the uk who has 16 family members in gaza. it is very horrific news _ family members in gaza. it is very horrific news that _ family members in gaza. it is very horrific news that i _ family members in gaza. it is very horrific news that i hear _ family members in gaza. it is very horrific news that i hear from - family members in gaza. it is very horrific news that i hear from my i horrific news that i hear from my family back home. it has been absolutely disastrous. when we managed to speak to them, and we sometimes lose contact for many hours, they tried to show strength that they are ok. but i know, i can tell, i can read in between the lines, they are struggling massively. so my family are 16

members, british nationals. they were living part of their life in the uk, part of their life back in gaza. and that includes eight children, the youngest of six months old. the oldest is seven, so we're talking about very young families, that includes my nephews and my nieces and my parents.— that includes my nephews and my nieces and my parents. which part of gaza are they — nieces and my parents. which part of gaza are they on, _ nieces and my parents. which part of gaza are they on, have _ nieces and my parents. which part of gaza are they on, have they - nieces and my parents. which part of gaza are they on, have they moved i gaza are they on, have they moved from the north to the south? yes. from the north to the south? yes, definitely- — from the north to the south? yes, definitely- so _ from the north to the south? yes, definitely. so my _ from the north to the south? yes, definitely. so my family _ from the north to the south? ye: definitely. so my family home is from the north to the south? i2: definitely. so my family home is in what used to be a nice area of gaza, it is very comfortable in the house that my family lived in for generations. 0nce that my family lived in for generations. once we had that order from the israeli military to move south they moved, theyjust moved, they couldn't afford to make any compromises. just thinking of children, you just move, they couldn'tjust

children, you just move, they couldn't just stay. children, you just move, they couldn'tjust stay. because my family is a very small family, we don't have many friends in the south, very minimum acquaintances and friends, so they struggled to find an area to stay in. fire and friends, so they struggled to find an area to stay in.— find an area to stay in. are they sleein: find an area to stay in. are they sleeping in _ find an area to stay in. are they sleeping in a — find an area to stay in. are they sleeping in a tent _ find an area to stay in. are they sleeping in a tent or _ find an area to stay in. are they sleeping in a tent or are - find an area to stay in. are they sleeping in a tent or are they i sleeping in a tent or are they taking shelter in a hospital or a school like other people? timer;r school like other people? they couldn't actually _ school like other people? they couldn't actually go _ school like other people? they couldn't actually go to - school like other people? they couldn't actually go to a - school like other people? ii2 couldn't actually go to a hospital because they were all full. they managed to find a small room in a friend of a friend's managed to find a small room in a friend of a friends of a friend's house for shelter. they had to move four times in the south because every time they managed to find somewhere to stay, some bombardment would be in the neighbourhood. the last two places they stayed in, they had actually embodiments within a five metre radius where they were staying. so we're talking about lots of dust, broken glass, debris and all of that, we are talking about

really very young kids, very scary and frightening. but i'm glad they are unharmed so far and i hope they manage to get out for nationals to safety as soon as possible. that is our main priority now.— safety as soon as possible. that is our main priority now. yes, and we are of course _ our main priority now. yes, and we are of course waiting _ our main priority now. yes, and we are of course waiting to _ our main priority now. yes, and we are of course waiting to find - our main priority now. yes, and we are of course waiting to find out. are of course waiting to find out whether in the coming days the rafah crossing will be open for foreign nationals to leave to egypt. we have been hearing from people in gaza who say getting access to food is a real problem, long queuesjust to get say getting access to food is a real problem, long queues just to get a few pieces of bread. what have your family been saying about how they are able to survive in terms of what they can eat?— they can eat? that is exactly the case. so they can eat? that is exactly the case- so my _ they can eat? that is exactly the case. so my family, _ they can eat? that is exactly the case. so my family, they - they can eat? that is exactly the i case. so my family, they prepared some canned food, tuna cans. but they are running out quickly. they couldn't replenish their supplies and we are talking about very young children, the youngest of six months

old. and we have a one—year—old and two years old. so we are talking about milk, they couldn't get it. we are talking about even water, drinking water. so that is very hard. i mean, food, of course they can find bred here and there, they can find bred here and there, they can prioritise things and they can cut down the portions and all of that, the others can do that. children don't understand that. when they are hungary, they will become grumpy and all of that and that is the main challenge, i think. putting eight children and eight adults in one room 24/7, i have got a young family here in the uk and i know how children react to being trapped in a small space. and that is also a disturbing thing to hear that they are struggling, really struggling. meanwhile, the metropolitan police

in london say up to 100,000 people have taken part in a pro—palestinian protest in the centre of the city. 0ne arrest was made in relation to an incident last week. the co—organisers, the palestine solidarity campaign, or calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza and for full humanitarian aid to be sent in. in the last 24 hours, similar protests have been held around the world in places like thailand, australia, the netherlands, south africa and several arab countries. now to another main story in the uk. that is storm babet, which continues to cause disruption in many parts of the country, bringing heavy rain and flooding. i was scotland editor james cook has the very latest. this is what storm babet did to brechin. the coast guard and other agencies rescued scores of people, hundreds of homes and businesses were swamped. it hundreds of homes and businesses were swamped-— hundreds of homes and businesses were swamped. it looks worst. it is

time he was overthrown and the third time, he resigned, found guilty on corruption charges and sent to prison. he asked to leave to get medical treatment. that was near the end of 2019. this is the first time he has come back in nearly four years. those charges still stand. thatjail years. those charges still stand. that jail sentence still stands and he is currently on temporary bail. we will hear more about that during the course of this. many analysts believe nawaz sharif would not be backin believe nawaz sharif would not be back in pakistan if he did not get some sort of agreement from the powerful military establishment. the same establishment that nawaz sharif fell out with the last time he left the country. and that is a significant move and significant change. meanwhile, his main political opponent imran khan was disqualified and is still in prison. at the moment, many people believe today's arrival of nawaz sharif is

greatest ever player. he says he is deeply saddened to hear sir bobby had died. and former manchester united captain gary neville said that sir bobby was the club's greatest ambassador. he said, so sorry to hear the news of sir bobby charlton, the greatest football player, and manchester united's greatest ambassador. plenty more on that story and of course on the latest developments from the middle east on the bbc news website. hello. some parts of the country have had between 100 and 200 millilitres of rain. the exact figures have yet to be verified, but they have been exceptional. the warning has expired from eastern scotland, but the amber warning for heavy rain is still valid in the north of scotland. we have to wait a little while before this weather

front completely clears away. and i think by this stage already we will be experiencing better weather conditions in the east of scotland. a chilly across many parts of the uk, it is a case of generally clear weather, dry weather through the night. and it is also going to turn a quite chilly, but perhaps murky, misty in a few places, the only minimum temperatures on sunday will be quite two in aberdeen, about that in newcastle. but i think in most bigger towns and cities, closer to around five to perhaps nine celsius. now, the troublesome low that has brought all of that mayhem is now moving away to the north. this is the weather map for sunday and we are a chilly in between weather systems so some decent weather, i am very pleased to say, on the way. from morning onwards, a lot of bright if not sunny weather. yes, there will be a few showers here and there, but nothing compared to what we have had in the last few days. so overall, a break day, if not sunny

day for most of us, and much, much better across scotland. look at that, sunshine and 11 degrees in aberdeen. but sunday into monday, the next area of low pressure approaches and this one will reach southern parts of the uk and also another will weather front will reach northern ireland,. through the early hours of monday, the next weather front approaches, whereas many parts of the country wake up to sunshine. and it is going to be a very decent day across scotland in terms of the weather, northern england also fairly bright. but across the south, the next spell of rain is approaching. and in fact, that weatherfront will rain is approaching. and in fact, that weather front will be sweeping northwards across monday night. and the outlook is looking very unsettled across the uk come up with the risk of further heavy rain and also gale force winds right across the country. so a very unsettled outlook on the way. goodbye.
