summit on 23. nonetheless, in the interest of transparency we think it is important to set out some of the points about the events last year. let me go through the points they make in the statement. start by saying in 2023, while he was suspended, the bbc, as is employer of the time, was made in there in confidence as he has been arrested on suspicion of serious offences. they were released on bailfor the police continue their investigation. at the time, no charges were brought against him and the bbc had also been aware of significant risks to his health. today, we have learnt of the conclusion of the peace process and the details presented to the court, if at any point during the period he was employed by the bbc, he has been charged the bbc had to act immediately to dismiss him. in the end, the point of charge, he was no longer an employee of the bbc.

during this period, the people has kept its management issue separate from its editorial functions. kept its management issue separate from its editorialfunctions. we want to reiterate our shock and his actions and our thoughts remain with those affected. that is the statementjust released those affected. that is the statement just released from those affected. that is the statementjust released from the bbc, is of the pictures from earlier today as he arrived there at the magistrates' court and of course, as a result of that, you heard her earlier taking us through some of the questions now being asked of the bbc or of the bbc are putting out the lengthy statement. addressing some of those issues through the course of the last year. that is the latest from us and we will have more in the programme on the story here in the programme on the story here in a month or 2. better turn back to the middle east because the killing of a leader in tehran not long ago and said and carrying out the attack

which occurred in the early morning just hours after he attended the inauguration of the iranian president. the armed wing of the killing said it will take the battle to new dimensions. there's been no official comment from isla or the supreme leader, they said that iran has a duty to respond because the attack happened in tehran. the brother—in—law of1 of happened in tehran. the brother—in—law of 1 of the victims kidnapped by the government on the 7th of october has been talking to us, he said that with this mammoth picture, he said the negotiations will be able to continue. my initial reaction was _ will be able to continue. my initial reaction was that _ will be able to continue. my initial reaction was that it _ will be able to continue. my initial reaction was that it is _ will be able to continue. my initial reaction was that it is perhaps - will be able to continue. my initial reaction was that it is perhaps a l cause for celebration, for many israelis as well, that such a man was taken out of the picture. israelis at the same time, it may have an impact on the negotiations. i would be cautious to determine whether the impact will be

this negative or positive, given the fact haniyeh played a detrimental role in entering negotiations in the past few months, and the pressure is coming from the field operators of hamas in gaza to reach a negotiated treaty. so perhaps it will be a positive here but it can also lead to chaos in hamas and stall negotiations for the next few weeks. i hope not. i understand your analysis there in terms of the impact on negotiations but i don't know if you could hear our previous guest, an expert in qatar, and his view that it ends any hope of a hostage deal and further hostage releases. that is the bleakest of analysis because it is quite possible given how critical a figure he was in terms of the negotiations on the hamas side here? i heard that analysis. i disagree with making such

statements so early on. it's still unclear how this will impact negotiations. as i said, it may have a negative effect but it also could have a positive one. haniyeh has not been a good—faith negotiator and we would not have reached this situation of hamas had not chosen to attack on october the 7th in the first place. every leader has a substitutes, we have learned that from history. the substitute could be worse or better. and i hope this military action will lead to strategic decisions in israel in the diplomatic rooms, which entails, based on what the israeli defence minister said this morning, entails that this was a cue for hamas that we need to reach a deal now, that we will continue to negotiate.

the body of a leader has been found in the rubble, had headlines are next. hello there. the heatwave continues today across some parts of the country but overnight tonight and into tomorrow, the weather looks like it will start to break down. we've the risk of heavy rain, thunder and lightning, mainly across england and wales. still difficult to pin the details down because those storms are yet to develop. we've had some threatening cloud here in the far southeast of england with showers close by. these are the temperatures we have this afternoon. not really changing much for the northern half of the uk, it's much hotter further south, but because we've got an easterly breeze this time, the highest temperatures will get pushed that little further towards the west. even some showers into wales and northern ireland but things get going overnight. the wetter weather develops overnight in northern ireland

and pushes across to scotland with thundery downpours across parts this of england and wales. more cloud around tonight, for scotland, warmer than last night, 5 degrees in glasgow. further south, no lower than 17 in the southeast of england. this wet weather through the midlands and northern england, possibly thundery, moving away with sunshine coming through, triggering more thundery showers across england and east wales. more sunshine across scotland and northern ireland in the afternoon with temperatures a shade higher than today but not quite so high further south. very warm or hot in places depending on those heavy showers. we end the week with low pressure approaching from the atlantic, so quite a turnaround in the weather. still heavy or thundery showers across eastern parts of england which will move away and as the breeze picks up in the west, outbreaks of rain moving in here. that will keep the temperatures a bit lower, only 20 degrees,

though still very warm across eastern england, up to 28 celsius here. as that weather front pushes west from saturday, we will have cooler and fresher air following, a west or southwesterly wind and low pressure bringing rain into the northwest of the uk on sunday. in the southeast, rain to begin on saturday and the rest of the weekend dry, temperatures are lower and nearer normal for the time of year.
