strike in khan younis. fans are already in berlin for sunday's euros final between england and spain. joe biden fiercely defends his re—election campaign — despite growing calls from within his party to step aside. and, after months of lavish events — the son of asia's richest man ties the knot in a three day star—studded ceremony in mumbai. let's start with some breaking news. at least 30 palestinians have been killed in an israeli air strike that targeted an area densely populated with displaced people in southern gaza. the attack happened in the masawi area of khan younis. these pictures have just come in of the moment of the blast. the israeli military had designated this area as a safe zone, urging palestinians to seek shelter there. an eyewitness described the scene to the bbc, saying it was like an earthquake.

let's get more on this breaking news. what more do we know about this air strike? l news. what more do we know about this air strike?— this air strike? i think that is the key point. _ this air strike? i think that is the key point. this — this air strike? i think that is the key point, this is _ this air strike? i think that is the key point, this is an _ this air strike? i think that is the key point, this is an area - this air strike? i think that is the key point, this is an area wherel key point, this is an area where palestinians have been told by israeli authorities they would be safe, it was a designated so—called safe, it was a designated so—called safe zone, but there has been a huge air strike here, the hamas run health authority is saying that around 100 people killed or wounded, the figure 20 or possibly 30 people killed, but it's clear a lot of people have been killed, and the figure could rise sharply. we have seen some of the video, it really shows a very graphic and distressing scene. this huge plume of smoke, an indication how big the blast was, the damage it did. we have families

digging in the rubble, you have other relatives being consoled, casualties being loaded onto stretchers, and in the nearby kuwait field hospital, completely packed, chaos there, some people being treated on the floor, some children injured as well, no word yet from the israeli defence forces, officially, but interestingly the israeli military radio station is citing defence sources, three defence sources, saying this was a significant strike. we don't know whether this was significant in that as has been the case in previous tracks, they have targeted hamas individuals and we have seen lots of people die as a result of that. we know there has been fierce fighting in this area in recent days. took us through what has been happening.

khan younis is right in the south of the gaza strip where the fighting has continued, as well as in gaza city, which is gaza's biggest city, and other parts of the strip as well, with people being reported killed every day, so this is the reality. there is one district of gaza city itself where the authorities say they have recovered 60 bodies after a very intense 48 hours the government says the mission to destroy hamas continues and won't be halted until it is done. there have been conversations in goha, there were talks in egypt, as well, and this is the bleak reality, of what is happening, and i think the images we seen today for themselves.

let's speak to our gaza correspondent. we have been speaking to people, eyewitnesses, who saw this air strike, or were in the vicinity. talk us through what you know. ~ . , vicinity. talk us through what you know. , , ., know. many people i spoke to said it was like an earthquake. _ know. many people i spoke to said it was like an earthquake. at _ know. many people i spoke to said it was like an earthquake. at least - was like an earthquake. at least three air strikes targeted this area, which was designated as a state remark safe zone. it is very unusualfor state remark safe zone. it is very unusual for the people to see this scale in this area, very chaotic scene from the ground, i saw images of people digging with their bare hands to try to save some of their loved ones were buried under a very

big, large destruction in the area, the area is an agricultural area, there are makeshift homes and hundreds or maybe thousands of tents in the area. it's estimated about 700,000 people are in the area, so most of them have fled from rafah, where the israeli operation is going on, but in october this is a chaotic scene, they are still trying to oversee, in the kuwaiti hospital, field hospital, it was set up close to the location, it's a relatively small medical facility received over 100 injuries within minutes, and doctors are trying to cope with the number of injuries, number of

patients, some were transferred to other hospitals, and among those who were killed, some of the rescue team were killed, some of the rescue team were reported to the defence authority, a senior officer from their was killed among those killed, he was rushed with the team to try to save people, and they were targeted and killed, so what we are sure about is there were three air strikes, based on multiple surf the net sources from the area, and the number of people killed, we have a good figure from saying that 30 or so were killed, people were transported to different hospitals, so it's hard to know what happened exactly and how many people were injured and killed. we exactly and how many people were

injured and killed.— injured and killed. we are seeing imaaes injured and killed. we are seeing images outside _ injured and killed. we are seeing images outside the _ injured and killed. we are seeing images outside the hospital- injured and killed. we are seeing images outside the hospital in i injured and killed. we are seeing i images outside the hospital in khan younis of devastation, people running, trying to help one another. this air strike being described as significant, what do you take from that? ~ , . ., significant, what do you take from that? ~ , , , that? well, it significant because it's in this area, _ that? well, it significant because it's in this area, and _ that? well, it significant because it's in this area, and if— that? well, it significant because it's in this area, and if they - that? well, it significant because it's in this area, and if they are l it's in this area, and if they are saying a hamas commander is killed there, but it significant because there, but it significant because the areas designated as a safe zone. they are staying in this area, so why are they asking us to come here? they're this area, but it's a force we have seen targeting this area

before, but the issue some sort of warning, i've seen huge strikes in the area, the people were told to leave, while this time it was early in the morning, it was very busy, a place where hundreds of tents and thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people in the area, displaced, and people in the area, they don't what to do. some of them started to move to other areas, but they don't know if this area is still safe or not, and it's very early to judge whether they have targeted some hamas elements in the area or if it is significant because of this. just a reminder— is significant because of this. just a reminder of _ is significant because of this. just a reminder of the live pictures we are seeing in khan younis, people near to the hospital there, crowds of people near to that air strike,

and just a reminder that gaza's hamas run health ministry as saying that at least 30 people have been killed, many more injured, in an israeli air strike near to the southern city of khan younis, this area, mawasi,, where the attack could happen, had been designated as a safe seven by the israeli authorities. eyewitnesses said the strike felt like an earthquake, and doctors at the nearby field hospital reported to be struggling to cope with the scores of casualties. israeli defence sources are reported to have described the area as a very significant strike, and we will be getting more from our correspondence in the region throughout the day as we get more on this.

)president biden has attempted to put his re—election campaign back on track — with a defiant rally in the us state of michigan. he came out on stage in detroit to chants of "don't you quit!" mr biden told the crowd he was the only politician to have beaten donald trump and promised to do it again in november. folks, you probably noticed, there is a lot of speculation lately. what'sjoe biden going to do? is he going to stay in the race? is he going to drop out? here's my answer, i am running, and we're going to win! i'm not going to change that. dr thomas gift is the director of the centre on us politics at university college london. he believesjoe biden still has a chance — despite being behind. joe biden is losing, simply put. he is losing in polls across

the country by a five, six, seven points, he is losing in key swing states like 0hio, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. he is down. it's no surprise given the catastrophic debate performance he has had and a couple of other public appearances, but he is not out of the race, here's a donald trump is a very public figure, he has a ceiling on a support, and it's possible that biden could regain momentum. and he is trying to tell a positive story about his time in office. do you think those stories are getting through, or do you think all this noise, all the stories about his mental state and fitness, do you think that getting on the way? i think it's the latter. we just heard a cacophony of noise, mostly coming from democrats saying biden needs to get out of the race, and the problem for biden is that americans cannot

unsee what they saw at the debate a couple of weeks ago. polling came out showing that approximately 72% of americans think biden doesn't have the mental acuity of physical vigour to carry out four more years in this job, so if biden is going to win his going to have to depend on a significant portion of americans to vote for him who don't think he's up for this task. how do you think seeing biden in some of these rallies, some of these debates, and seeing those actions when he has called people the wrong name and number of times now, how do you think that will affect people when they go to vote? what will they be thinking? one of the real problems for biden as this narrative that has developed around him. so, if he gives a speech and 99% of it has no problem but there's one gaffe, that's what people are going to remember, because it's fits into this narrative a cognitive a cognitive decline,

he has to be perfect every single evening. so it feels like every event he attends is kind of a do or die moment. he is doing what a lot of critics said he should do, which is come out, be more open, be more transparent, answer adversarial questions. you will notice a lot of these events are just him reading from a teleprompter, which doesn't give you the same insight into his cognitive state as the press conference, for example, that we saw at the nato summit. i know we've been hearing president biden is not going to step down from his team, but if he does, what is that process involving? it is somewhat complicated, and it would essentially be resolved at the convention in august, so ifjoe biden steps down, he has a certain set of committed delegates that he won as a result of the primaries, he would essentially stay you can vote

for whoever you want, so it would kind of be a free for all. any democrat who wanted to throw their hat in the ring could do so, obviously kamala harris is perhaps the most likely candidate, but there are others as well, california governor gavin newsom, gretchen whitmer, and maryland's governor are a few more, so the individual who got the most support would be the nominee. before we go, let's have a mention of trump. he said the odd thing, but it seems to be unusually quiet. do we know why? you noticed that! i think is happy for democrats to self implode, bicker among themselves, so it takes a lot of restraint for trump to be quiet, but that is the strategy right now, so i think he is getting good advice. i think trump is running a relatively disciplined campaign,

at least by his standards. some breaking news, kensington palace says the princess of wales will attend the wimbledon men's final on sunday and present the trophy. there had been great speculation about whether she would attend, because the princess is recovering from cancer treatment. but kensington palace has confirmed she will attend the final and present the trophy. let's return to sunday's euros final — and despite england's progress their manager gareth southgate has divided opinion amongst supporters, some of whom think he's a bit too cautious. but maybe not in his home town of crawley. 0ur reporter peter whittlesea has been on a tour of the town centre, to see what people there think of the england manager ahead of tomorrow's final. sunday will be the biggest day of gareth southgate's life, so i took him to his hometown crawley to meet

some of his super fans. southgate, you're the one! you... are we turning him on? you still turn me on! you could bring it home tour! what is the atmosphere regarding gareth in crawley? 0h, we love him. we do, yeah. car horn beeps. see?! will it be an alcohol free game? yes, darling. no! i am alcohol free. she's baby—sitting, i'm getting drunk. i from old school friends to his old barber, fans not only wish the england manager well, they want them to look his best in berlin. hi, gareth. how are you doing? same as normal? what was gareth like at school? he was... we weren't in the same friendship group but he was really good, everyone knew he was great at football. did you fancy him? no! i loved him, he was brilliant, but no. we are friends on facebook but we still don't talk!

what did gareth have as a haircut? same thing as he has got now. he hasn't changed in 40 years, 30 years. if england win, he come here, he have a free pedicure done, | free manicure done and massage. free eyebrows! free eyebrows done, as well! does he need his eyebrows done? of course. what's wrong with them? he will be more handsome i if he has his eyebrows done. thinking of getting an england flag nails? no, not really. if it comes home, he can come here, we will do it for free. free, what, callus removal? callus removal, everything. paint as well. do you think gareth is looking good for sunday? yes. no, i think he needs a tan. did you know gareth is from here in crawley? yeah, my man gareth! whoo! why is he your man gareth, tell me? i don't know, he'sjust...! does he look better now?

yeah, he's got that perfect glow. he'll be darker than the spanish. is it hurting? football fan? for the england, of course. yeah. he is doing a good job. it would be nice to have, you know, a nice one of these. statue, maybe? yeah, that'd be great. you a football fan? what's going to happen on sunday? were going to win. we are going to win. would you give gareth a bit of a ride? yeah. gareth is having a right of his life to berlin, and everyone here is backing him in the england team.

luggage after 6 months of lavish celebrations, the wedding ceremony for the son of asia's richest man, is finally ending in the indian city of mumbai. anant ambani, son of reliance industries chairman, mukesh ambani, is tying the knot with radhika merchant, the daughter of pharmaceutical tycoons. the 4—day extravaganza is the final stop in a string of pre—wedding parties the family has hosted since march — featuring performances by pop stars including rihanna and justin bieber. reality tv star kim kardashian, and former uk pms tony blair now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willets. hello, there. we've got low pressure close by to the east of england and eastern scotland, hence we've seen some rather cloudy, wet conditions in places this morning, whilst further west and increasingly in the south the sunshine will develop but trigger a few showers. this is the low pressure bringing the rain. it has brought rain to many eastern

areas of england, in particular, through the morning, and it's pushing progressively into eastern scotland. so, clearing away to southern parts, perhaps a shower or two brewing. one or two heavy, thundery ones here, and the risk for wimbledon, we will see a scattering of showers through wales and northern ireland. drier for the north—west highlands, whilst we've got really rather cloudy, cool conditions in many areas further east, disappointing 14 or 15, well below par, only 18 or 19, because the wind is coming from the north even in the sunshine. that north wind continues through this evening and overnight. more rain spilling in across the south—east of scotland, the north—east of england. drier as the showers start to fade away further south and west and a little cooler than the night just gone as well. perhaps a little bit of mist and fog first thing and certainly around the east coast and over the hills as we have seen during the morning today, that continues during tomorrow. if anything, less rain around tomorrow. more bright skies and sunshine developing for scotland and northern ireland, across england and wales, away from those east coasts.

still a few showers but not as heavy as they will be today when there could be some thundery downpours. temperatures a little bit higher as a consequence, as well, responding to a little more sunshine and slightly less of a north breeze, which will continue into tomorrow evening. if you are sitting out watching the football, there is a lot of dry weather to be found away from the north sea coast. it should be dry as well for the football itself over in germany. some fine and dry weather around to end the weekend, but it doesn't really last very long because as that low pressure moves away into scandinavia another one approaches from the south and west to bring some heavy and thundery rain in, potentially, to wales, central and southern england and then northern ireland by the end of the day, all of the time brightening up across the north and east of scotland and the north—east of england. a warmer day here, with the winds offshore rather than onshore into monday. as for beyond, it does look set to stay unsettled in the north, but something a little drier and warmer promised further south. as ever, you can catch up with the weather on the website.

live from london, this is bbc news. at least 20 people are killed in an israeli air strike near gaza sun at southern city of khan younis. a man is arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the remains found on a bristol bridge. alec... the case against alec baldwin is dismissed because of lack of evidence. fans are already arriving

for the sunday euros final with spain. 0ur breaking news this hour at least 20 palestinians have been killed in an israeli air strike that kept targeted an area densely populated with displaced people in southern gaza. the attack happened in khan younis. the israeli military had designated this as a safe area urging palestinians to seek shelter there. these pictures have come in. an eyewitness described the scene saying it was like an earthquake. this is an area where palestinians had been told they would be safe. it was a designated safe area. but what

has happened is
