and the other main stories here tonight... the team gb athlete bianca williams tells us she's now always on edge when driving, as two metropolitan police officers are sacked for gross misconduct, following her stop and search. and, i'll be back — as a life coach. arnold schwarzenegger tells us why he's written a self—help book. coming on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, records fall at the cricket world cup as glenn maxwell smashes australia to a huge win against the netherlands. good evening from jerusalem. the united nations says hospitals and other services in gaza —

which is under a blockade by israel — are running out of fuel. the un agency for palestinian refugees says it will have to stop working there tonight — if it doesn't get a fresh supply of fuel. but israel has accused hamas — a designated terror group by the uk government — of stockpiling hundreds of thousands of litres. israel has allowed limited supplies of food, water and medicine in — but charities say vast amounts more are needed. israel's prime minister is due to make a statement around now. this takes place amid a bitter diplomatic row between israel and the un. in a few moments we'll hear live from ourjournalists on the ground — rushdi abualouf who's been in gaza throughout the conflict — and our international editorjeremy bowen, who's across the border in southern israel. but first our special correspondent fergal keane, who is injerusalem, has been working with teams who are on the ground in gaza,

and has this report. a warning it contains some distressing images. each climbing cloud, a marker of destruction. relentless air strikes. thousands of bombs dropped. hamas started this war. israel responds with devastating force. it is a story of stunned aftermath and desperate searching. the man was away from his home when the bomb fell. he speaks to his lost loved ones. "i wish we'd stayed with you." and then a child who survived. "they're all gone," he tells her. bbc cameras in gaza captured medics

collecting the wounded. the man shouts, "nasser, his head is open," speaking of the child in his arms. mahmoud badawy daily faces the killing inflicted from the skies, but there isn't time to stop, much less show his feelings. from one scene of carnage to another. there are the survivors to care for. translation: there are many hard situations. . as an ambulance driver you get accustomed to what's happening. whether it's hands, heads or bodies that are cut. in many families now there is the need to familiarise their children with the morbid practicalities of life in a war zone. translation: i have seen

bodies blown apart. - you can't identify anyone. so in case anything happens, either we are blown up, i would know them from this bracelet and i can collect their bodies. it is not knowledge any parent wants to impart. sometimes in the heart of it all there's good news. "she's ok, but she's scared," they call out. her father is being freed from the rubble. first the names, then the medics reassurance. "they're all out, i swear." the emergency workers like mahmoud are overstretched, exhausted, knowing that however much they do, in gaza now it cannot be enough. fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem.

the hamas—run health ministry in gaza now say almost 6,500 people have been killed since the start of the conflict. the bbc�*s gaza correspondent rushdi abualouf has remained working there, despite the conditions. he is in khan younis, in southern gaza, for us — day after day now, we have been hearing you describe worsening conditions — tell us what things are like today. tonight there was heavy bombardment around this hospital. this is a hospital in khan younis, the only medical centre serving half of the population now and it is on the edge of catastrophe, as the director of the hospitaljust told me they have sought most of the operations and only the operation room and the life—saving plays and facilities are working. they are struggling to cope with the situation with a shortage

of fuel. no fuel coming to this hospitalfor of fuel. no fuel coming to this hospital for about of fuel. no fuel coming to this hospitalfor about 20 of fuel. no fuel coming to this hospital for about 20 days. of fuel. no fuel coming to this hospitalfor about 20 days. about half an hour ago, and air strike this direction about 200 metres from the hospital destroyed a three—storey story building, about 50 people in one go rush to this hospital. imagine doctors have to deal with 50 because one go. some of them were dead, some of them were severely injured. so i rushed to this operation room and i saw how they are struggling to cope with the situation and no guarantee for how long they can keep doing this without supplies and fuel. rushdi, thank ou without supplies and fuel. rushdi, thank you very _ without supplies and fuel. rushdi, thank you very much _ without supplies and fuel. rushdi, thank you very much as _ without supplies and fuel. rushdi, thank you very much as always. i 0ur international editor jeremy bowen is in southern israel for us now. all this is happening against the backdrop of a blistering diplomatic row involving the united nations and

israel. we are also expecting the israeli prime minister make a statement this evening. any israeli prime minister make a statement this evening. any minute now. statement this evening. any minute nova we're — statement this evening. any minute nova we're just _ statement this evening. any minute now. we're just waiting _ statement this evening. any minute now. we're just waiting for - statement this evening. any minute now. we're just waiting for him - statement this evening. any minute now. we're just waiting for him as l statement this evening. any minute now. we're just waiting for him as a j now. we're just waiting for him as a matter matter of fact. it is due almost as we speak. as for the row with the secretary general. he made the remarks at the united nations, which i would say that many analysts of the middle east probably was not argue with, which is to say that while he absolutely condemned everything that hamas did, and it was no excuse for what they did, it comes from a background of many, many decades of palestinian grievances. as anyone who follows the regions knows, there is a long history of occupation and siege and it is a century long conflict. i think the point he was making, that these things don't come out of

midair. but the israelis fastened on some of what he said and said, used very strong language, they said it was a blood libel, which is an ancient anti—semitic trope that was based on, they said that he was blaming the victim, and they called upon him, the israeli ambassador called upon the secretary general of the un to resign. he stood up today and said, look, i have been misrepresented, i did not sayjust what you said i said, i said the other stuff also. so i think this is simply because israel feels under pressure now because of the increasing criticism, despite the support it has had, of its bombing operations in gaza.— operations in gaza. jeremy, thank ou ve operations in gaza. jeremy, thank you very much- —

the funerals of two british teenagers and their mother took place this afternoon here in israel the centre of the country. noiya and yahel sharabi, and their mother lianne, were killed in the hamas attacks earlier this month, in which more than moo people died. lucy manning was there. opposite the pomegranate trees, in a quiet corner so at odds with the manner of their deaths, three fresh graves have been dug. for a mother and her two daughters, lianne, noiya and yahel sharabi. the contrasts between this time of celebration and this day of mourning could not be starker. the sound of teenagers sobbing filled the small cemetery. lianne, the mum, came to israel from bristol, aged just 19, to work on a kibbutz. she built her life, herfamily, here, until hamas decided to take it away.

i always cherish your memory. the land of israel envelops you and your girls today. but so does the heart of your beloved england. rest in peace, lovey. her bristol family sent tributes they had recorded. we will miss our girl to the end of our days and keep her in our hearts forever. noiya loved to sing and dance. she worked hard at school and always got good grades. a beacon of light extinguished too soon. all we know is that there is a yahel—shaped hole in our lives that can never be filled for her british family. the family gave us permission to film here, to show that of the moo people killed in israel, one was lianne, one was noiya, and one was yahel. a nation's grief.

hundreds came to this triple funeral, including other british israelis who didn't know the sharabis but wanted to pay their respects. too many are dead from kibbutz be'eri. children can't mourn parents. parents can't grieve their children. hamas tried to obliterate this family and the sharabis can't even rest in peace. the girls' dad, eli, is still missing. their uncle, yosi, kidnapped. dead, missing, kidnapped. the horror of that day for this country in one family. british roots now covered in israeli soil. lucy manning, bbc news, kfar harif. the agony of israel and the people of gaza continues —

israel estimate over 200 hostages still being held by hamas, some of them very young — and fears in gaza itself that it could run out of fuel tonight. the bleakness of the situation shows little sign tonight of easing. i'll be back with more at 10pm, but now it's back to you jane in the studio. the prime minister has said there needs to be �*specific pauses' in the fighting in gaza — to allow people out and aid in. but rishi sunak emphasised in prime minister's questions that this was distinct from a ceasefire. it comes as the labour leader sir keir starmer meets muslim mps in his own party, to try to smooth tensions around his stance on israel and gaza. 0ur political editor chris mason is at westminster. tell us more about the situation within labour. it tell us more about the situation within labour.— tell us more about the situation within labour. it is worth picking around the _ within labour. it is worth picking around the language. _ within labour. it is worth picking around the language. the - within labour. it is worth pickingl around the language. the country within labour. it is worth picking - around the language. the country and labour leadership are in the same position when it comes to a

ceasefire. they say no and that israel says in a right to defend itself. the scottish national party by contrast is going for a ceasefire but within the labour movement there is a growing sense of unease and in some places anger at keir starmer�*s stance. keir starmer alongside the prime minister is calling for this humanitarian pause but is not using the word ceasefire. 100 labour councillors have written to keir starmer saying that he should advocate eight ceasefire, 37 labour mps have publicly said exactly the same thing. by our calculation 19 labour councillors have resigned as a result of the leadership is like position. to put that into context, there are about 6500 labour councillors in total. the big challenge for keir starmer is that as this conflict escalates, there is every chance the feature within his own party guidance. chris every chance the feature within his own party guidance.— own party guidance. chris mason, thank you- _

a police officer who blackmailed and threatened more than 200 young girls into sending him explicit images of themselves over snapchat has been jailed for life, with a minimum term of 12 years. lewis edwards groomed girls aged between 10 and 16, and forced them to send him videos that he secretly recorded. you may find the details in this report from our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford upsetting. are we going to find evidence of you engaging in sexual communication with children? no comment. when first interrogated by officers from his own force, pc lewis edwards refused to answer questions about his sexual abuse of girls as young as ten. no comment. but he later had to admit to 160 offences. thejudge said he'd psychologically manipulated his victims and jailed him for life. it is clear that he not only gained sexual gratification from his offending, but that he also

enjoyed the power and control that he had over these young girls. his reaction to their distress can properly be described as cruel and sadistic. edwards ran his cruel campaign from the front room of his parents' house. he posed as a teenage boy on snapchat, befriended girls aged 10—16, and then, by threatening to post their naked images online, he blackmailed them into sending him more and more explicit videos of themselves. he messaged one girl, "it's either you help me right now, or get everything shared all over and have your life ruined." in desperation, one 12—year—old replied, "no, i'm not being internet raped any more," but in the end she still sent more pictures. the superintendent who oversaw the case recalls vividly the moment she discovered the suspect was a policeman. i still have goose bumps when i think about it now, because this sort of criminality in any event is just despicable, but to find out it was potentially

being committed by one of your own — because he was a serving police officer at the time — makes it all the more dreadful. the court was played videos of edwards' victims crying and begging him to stop, but still he asked for more pictures. for almost all of the time that he was blackmailing and abusing the girls, pc lewis edwards was working for south wales police. detectives have checked his shift pattern, and yes, he was carrying out some of the online abuse while he was on duty. lewis edwards is the 18th officer in england and wales to be jailed for child sexual abuse since january last year. another 13 were convicted but not sent to prison, making a total of 31. more than 200 of edwards' victims were tracked down by painstaking detective work, but there are hundreds more who have not yet been identified. daniel sandford, bbc news, at cardiff crown court.

two metropolitan police officers have been sacked after being found guilty of gross misconduct following the stop and search of two black athletes in 2020. the team gb sprinter bianca williams and her partner ricardo dos santos, who's also a sprinter, said they were racially profiled when officers pulled over their car in west london, handcuffed them, and searched them on suspicion of having drugs and weapons — none were found. our community affairs correspondent adina campbell reports. what did i do? wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. 0k, calm down. this is the video that went viral on social media. bianca williams and ricardo dos santos are handcuffed and detained while police searched their car for weapons and drugs. nothing is found. you made a definite attempt to try land avoid us, ok, the driver has. i which makes us suspect there's something in the car— there shouldn't be, ok? all of this happens while their three—month—old baby is crying in the back of the car. after a six—week hearing,

the couple say they're disappointed only two of the five officers accused of gross misconduct have been sacked. speaking exclusively to the bbc, bianca williams says it's been a long wait. it shouldn't have taken three years to get to this result, but i'm happy that this is the result and this is, like i said, a huge step in the right direction for people who continue to get stopped by the police and have that same old excuse about smelling of cannabis where nothing's been found. how much has all of this affected you, notjust your professional life, but also on a personal level as well? when people want to bring it up, ijust kind of, like, just change subject, because itjust fills me with so much emotion. even now. sorry. it's just, it's just really hard. and, like, evenjust driving the car, whenever i see a police car, i'm always just looking. i'm always, like, on edge because

who knows what they're going to do? who knows if they're going to follow me now? she's now hoping for a better future for her son. and how did you explain to him what had happened? you know, he sees mummy and daddy on tv for running and us being happy and getting medals for our country. he doesn't expect to see us on tv, in tears, being in handcuffs, pulled out of the car. adina campbell, bbc news. a man has beenjailed for a minimum of 23 years for murdering his girlfriend, who he'd been going out with for only eight weeks. christopher mcgowan, who's 28, killed claire inglis at her flat in stirling where she lived with her young son, in november 2021. mcgowan was out on bail at the time. the court heard he had a0 previous convictions, including three for assault. mps are expected to vote shortly on the case of peter bone,

who was suspended as a conservative mp after an investigation found he'd bullied and was sexually inappropriate around a member of his staff. if tonight's vote goes through, the mp for wellingborough would be suspended from the commons, which could lead to a by—election. peter bone denies the allegations. his now former assistant says he suffered physical and psychological abuse. he's been speaking exclusively to our political correspondent hannah miller. peter's behaviour was erratic. his temper was often explosive. like a pendulum. he'd go from one type of kind of personality to another. they call it a siege mentality in terms of the relentless shouting, the screaming, the hitting. peter bone has been the mp for wellingborough since 2005. earlier this month, he was found to have subjected a former staff member to a pattern of abuse that the assistant says led to him being diagnosed with post—traumatic stress disorder. i entered parliament with a lifelong dream of wanting to be in politics.

and then it became this horrid, brutal, dark experience that left me a broken shell of the young man i once was. after resigning from the job, the staff member filed an official complaint with the conservative party. four years later, when there was still no conclusion, he asked an independent parliamentary panel to investigate. both investigations were still open when borisjohnson promoted peter bone to become a minister. how do you think we come to a point where a prime minister can promote someone who's got these allegations going on against them? it's politics. i believe it was purely self—serving. i don't believe they thought about me. the conservative party acknowledges that there were delays to its investigation and says its processes have since changed. peter bone has been suspended from the parliamentary party and is facing a vote in the commons. he didn't respond to our requests for comment but has previously

denied the allegations. we are still waiting tonight but mps will vote very shortly on whether to suspend peter bone from the house of commons for six weeks or not. if they do go ahead, that will trigger what is called a recall petition, and if 10% of his constituents sign that over a six—week period, there would then be a by—election. we are still a couple of stages away from that at this stage but if it were to happen it would be the tenth by—election rishi sunak will have faced since becoming prime minister. studio: hannah miller, thank you. a schoolboy who was stabbed to death by a friend was unlawfully killed, a fresh inquest has concluded. 17—year—old yousef makki died in manchester in 2019. his friend joshua molnar was cleared of murder and manslaughter later that year. nick garnett sent this report.

0ne one of yousef makki's friend's, joshua molnar, shown on the left, did it. when the case went to trial three months later, he said he acted in self when yousef makki at him during a row. joshua moller was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter but he was found guilty of perverting the course ofjustice for lying to police about what happened. he said he had simply repeated what he heard his friends say. the coroner told the inquest the boys

had tried to buy drugs but it had gone wrong. the dealers then beat up joshua molnar, and he then got angry with his friend yousef makki for not helping his friend. the argument escalated and a short time later yousef makki was stabbed. the coroner said it wasn't self defence. he didn't like conflict. that a coroner said it wasn't self defence. he didn't like conflict.— he didn't like conflict. at a news conference _ he didn't like conflict. at a news conference yousef _ he didn't like conflict. at a news conference yousef makki's - he didn't like conflict. at a news| conference yousef makki's sister said her brother wasn't to blame for his death. i said her brother wasn't to blame for his death. ., . ., , . his death. i once thought 'ustice meant joshua * his death. i once thought 'ustice meant joshua moller _ his death. i once thoughtjustice meant joshua moller being - his death. i once thoughtjustice meant joshua moller being in i his death. i once thoughtjustice - meant joshua moller being in prison meantjoshua moller being in prison for the rest of his life. i now believe justice is what we have received today, and for him to have to live his life knowing forever that his actions took yousef away from us. , ., . , ., . from us. greater manchester police sa the from us. greater manchester police say they will _ from us. greater manchester police say they will carefully _ from us. greater manchester police say they will carefully review - from us. greater manchester police say they will carefully review the i say they will carefully review the coroner's ruling before pursuing further steps. he said "i'll be back" — and now he is, as a life coach. arnold schwarzenegger — hollywood megastar, one time politician and the most muscular man in the universe — has written a book with advice on how to be successful.

he's been sharing some of his life experiences with our entertainment correspondent colin paterson. announcer: ladies and gentlemen, arnold schwarzenegger! _ he was the body—building champion that became a movie star and then the governor of california. let's get to work. but at the age of 76, there is one goal he can't achieve — yet. ifeel like i would make a great president. the problem, he lived in austria until the age of 19, and any us president has to be a natural born citizen. everything that i've accomplished was because of america. so the only thing that i can't do, which is run for president, i'm not going to complain about that. if the constitution was changed, then schwarzenegger would want to run. but in the meantime he's been keeping very busy writing be useful, a motivational guide.

so many times people read about my successes, but, i mean, on the way to get there, there were tremendous defeats. and there were tremendous losses. and even on personal losses, you know — like my marriage, the mistakes that i've made — you have to recognise those mistakes, you have to be responsible for those mistakes. you cannot go and blame someone else for it. take responsibility, take ownership of those mistakes that you've made, and learn from that and then come back and be a better person. because of the actors' strike, we can't talk about your movies. does this mean i have to do your catchphrases today? what's the rules there? you can go and say, "get to the chopper!" you can say, "i'll be back." "get to the chopper!" i'll be back. "get to the chopper!" and he was the showman right to the end of the interview. 0w, ow, ow, ow! laughter. colin paterson, the strongman of bbc news. wow.
