taylor swift fans out in force in vienna, after her concerts there were cancelled because of a plot to attack them. hello, welcome to the programme. we start this hour with the latest on the israel—gaza war. there's been an israeli strike on a school housing displaced civilians in gaza city — with palestinian officials saying that about 100 people have been killed. the bbc has been unable to independently verify the figures. these are some of the latest images from the scene — many are too graphic for us to show. the israeli military says the target was a hamas command centre.

it's the second time in recent days that schools in gaza have been attacked by the israelis. let's go straight to our correspondentjenny hill who's in tel aviv. jenny, what's the latest on what happened? well, it is being described as a horrific massacre by gaza's civil defence agency. the agency which is hamas run says that three israeli missiles struck the school building this morning. we are hearing reports that people inside the building who were using as a shelter for displaced persons were actually at morning prayer when the attack happened. the israeli military has confirmed the attack, as you say. they contend that the school building was being used as a hamas command centre. and in a statement on social media, a spokesperson for the israeli defence force said that they believed around 20 hamas and

islamicjihad militants were islamic jihad militants were operating islamicjihad militants were operating out of the compound and using it as a base for what they would say were terrorist attacks. all of this has drawn a furious response from hamas, who have said this is a horrific crime. they say that israel and its military are fabricating lies in order to deliberately target civilians. they also say this represents a dangerous escalation in the war. and let's not forget that this strike comes just days after a highly unusual move by the leaders of the us, egypt and qatar. those leaders in a statement urged strongly both parties in this conflict to get to the negotiating table and hammer out a hostage return and ceasefire deal. we have had statements from egypt and indeed jordan in response to this, condemning the strike. and saying that it reveals in israel and lack of commitment to that peace process.

and it is, as we mentioned, the second time in two days that schools have been targeted. but benjamin netanyahu has always said since october the 7th that his aim was to get rid of hamas in gaza.— october the 7th that his aim was to get rid of hamas in gaza. yeah, and we have seen _ get rid of hamas in gaza. yeah, and we have seen the _ get rid of hamas in gaza. yeah, and we have seen the israelis _ get rid of hamas in gaza. yeah, and we have seen the israelis say - get rid of hamas in gaza. yeah, and we have seen the israelis say that i we have seen the israelis say that their efforts to dismantle hamas and go after senior commanders are ongoing but it is really worth looking at what has happened here in gaza over the last few weeks. we have seen a pattern emerging, israeli forces repeatedly targeting school buildings. that has drawn condemnation from the un. each time we have a strike like this, israel insists that these are legitimate targets in effect, saying that the schools are housing either hamas command centres or harbouring hamas operatives. and they also insist repeatedly that when they conduct the strikes they go out of their way

to minimise the loss of civilian life, using for example intelligence or precision missiles. find life, using for example intelligence or precision missiles.— life, using for example intelligence or precision missiles. and of course a lot of peeple _ or precision missiles. and of course a lot of people who _ or precision missiles. and of course a lot of people who have _ or precision missiles. and of course a lot of people who have been - a lot of people who have been displaced are sheltering in the schools and this just adds again, if it isn't safe to be in a school, the humanitarian situation inside the gaza strip. humanitarian situation inside the gaza stri -. ., humanitarian situation inside the gaza stri -. . ., , ., gaza strip. yeah, i mean you will hear humanitarian _ gaza strip. yeah, i mean you will hear humanitarian agencies - gaza strip. yeah, i mean you will hear humanitarian agencies are l hear humanitarian agencies are saying again and again as they have been say now for months that there is no safe place in gaza. these people have been displaced multiple times. take for example what is happening at the moment in the southern city of han eunice wet once again the israeli military have urged civilians to get out of the city because they want to go back in there and conduct operations. so many of these people living in extremely rudimentary accommodation, if you can call it that, as fears over public health rise. we heard

just a few days ago the world health organization saying it was going to 0rganization saying it was going to send more than a million polio vaccines into the script after the un conducted tests on water and found traces of the virus the. jenny hill in tel aviv, _ found traces of the virus the. jenny hill in tel aviv, thank _ found traces of the virus the. jenny hill in tel aviv, thank you. - in the last hour we heard from shaina low from the norwegian refugee council, who gave her reaction to the israli strike and the latest reports from aid teams on the ground. it really draws into question whether or not israel is abiding by international humanitarian law. we have seen so many of these events over and over and over again. i can't speak about the specifics, i'm not in gaza, i'm not able to conduct investigations, it does appear that israel is not protecting civilians and they are not abiding by the laws and rules of proportionality in terms of the military advantage being proportionate to the amount of civilian harm in the attacks such as the one we have seen this morning.

and the amount of aid that is trickling in is nowhere near what is needed to even attempt to address the growing humanitarian needs that continue to grow day by day. we've had staff report that they themselves have contracted hepatitis a, theirfamilies have gotten it, and this is because of the sanitary conditions, the destruction of infrastructure and the fact that aid workers just simply do not have the conditions of the material to be able to help people survive. shaina low from the norwegian refugee council. during the week qatar, egypt and the us urged israel and hamas to resume negotiations over a ceasefire in gaza and the release of the remaining hostages. they were invited to resume discussions on the 15th. the us vice president, kamala harris, addressed the issue during a campaign event in arizona when she was interupted by pro—palestinian protesters at the rally. let's take a listen to what she said to them. let me just say this, on topic of what i think i'm hearing over there.

let me just speak to that for a moment and then i'm going to get back to the business at hand. cheering. so let me say, i have been clear, now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done. cheering. now is the time. and the president and i are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home. let's speak to 0liver mcternan, who is an experienced mediator and the founder and co—director of forward thinking, a charitable organisation addressing issues related to the middle east peace process. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news. can i ask you first of all what hope you think there is of these renewed talks over a ceasefire

getting back under way, especially after today's israeli strike on that school? ~ ., ., ., , . school? well, all along since the breakdown _ school? well, all along since the breakdown in _ school? well, all along since the breakdown in november - school? well, all along since the breakdown in november i - school? well, all along since the breakdown in novemberl have l school? well, all along since the i breakdown in novemberl have had breakdown in november i have had very little hope of negotiation succeeding. and the reason i say that, it was very clear to me that from the start netanyahu saw this as a military operation. that he gave priority to. his stated aim was to see the demise of hamas in gaza. all his actions since he stated that have been in that direction. so i have been in that direction. so i have seen the talks and negotiations since november almost as a distraction from the reality of what is happening on the ground. so, sadly, i hope i'm wrong, i don't hold out hope. i think what we need now is kamala harris to actually move the talk. it is only if america says, yes, ceasefire. but to ensure that we are going to stop the arms

flow, we are going to stop the political protection and we are going to work with the security council to ensure we get the ceasefire. council to ensure we get the ceasefire-— council to ensure we get the ceasefire. �* ., ~ , ., ceasefire. and how likely do you think that is, — ceasefire. and how likely do you thinkthat is, it— ceasefire. and how likely do you think that is, it will _ ceasefire. and how likely do you think that is, it will happen - ceasefire. and how likely do you i think that is, it will happen before november's election? i think that is, it will happen before november's election?— think that is, it will happen before november's election? i only wish i could answer— november's election? i only wish i could answer that _ november's election? i only wish i could answer that but _ november's election? i only wish i could answer that but i _ november's election? i only wish i could answer that but i think - november's election? i only wish i i could answer that but i think anyone in america who is concerned about israel and its future, especially looking at the consequences that these actions, current actions, will have in the immediate region and the ongoing relationships between israel and its near neighbours should be deeply, deeply concerned. i think we have got to deep political eyes what is happening in gaza. —— de political eyes. i think your correspond or the norwegian representative spoke earlier about

putting this in the framework of international law, particularly the proportionality. we have seen that just torn up and thrown out of the window with notjust just torn up and thrown out of the window with not just the actions just torn up and thrown out of the window with notjust the actions of last night but repeated actions since 7th of october. find last night but repeated actions since 7th of october.— last night but repeated actions since 7th of october. and you think the new hamas _ since 7th of october. and you think the new hamas leader— since 7th of october. and you think the new hamas leader will- since 7th of october. and you think the new hamas leader will make i since 7th of october. and you think. the new hamas leader will make any difference to their being possible ceasefire talks?— ceasefire talks? well, i think it would have _ ceasefire talks? well, i think it would have had _ ceasefire talks? well, i think it would have had an _ ceasefire talks? well, i think it would have had an extremely l would have had an extremely important role in the whole process since the 7th of october, so i think the fact that he now is the official leader should not impact. at the end of the day, it was he who would have had a big say previously and whether or not to accept the terms of the ceasefire but i keep coming back to until netanyahu changes his objectives and put the hostages who

seem to be lost in all of this am, i would say the 2.3 million people in gaza who are suffering intolerable conditions. untilthey gaza who are suffering intolerable conditions. until they are put in the framework first and foremost decisions made in light of their interests, then i think we will take talking about a ceasefire but we will see little happening on the ground. will see little happening on the round. ., ~' ,, will see little happening on the round. ., ~ ., will see little happening on the tround. ., ~' y., ., ., will see little happening on the round. ., ~ ., ., , ., ground. thank you for “oining us on bbc ground. thank you for “oining us on sac news. — now to events in russia. moscow is introducing strict new security measures in three regions bordering ukraine in response to this week's surprise incursion by ukrainian forces into the kursk region. there are also concerns from the un nuclear agency — which has urged both sides to exercise maximum restraint, as fighting moves closer to a nuclear power plant. fighting has been raging since ukraine's army launched its surprise incursion this week. reports suggest they could be operating up to 30 kilometres inside russia, with intense

fighting, close to the town of sudzha. frances read reports. filmed from a dashboard, then uploaded to social media, abandoned and burned russian troop carriers in the kursk region. the person who posted these pictures has since been arrested but the bbc has verified the footage. ukrainian assaults on russia started on tuesday and seem to have come as a surprise. several villages have been seized. this footage from the ukrainian military is purported to show russian soldiers surrendering. reports suggest the focus is happening just north of ukraine with fighting thought to be concentrated near the town of sudzha. moscow says up to 1000 ukrainian troops are involved in a region which contains a nuclear plant. the un nuclear agency has urged restraint but the astonishing images of russianjets bombing russian territory seem to run counter to the kremlin�*s official narrative, that the war in ukraine has been going to plan.

president putin holding a meeting with his security council. it is calling the ukrainian incursion terrorism. and russia is now bringing in reinforcements. but no act goes unpunished. a russian missile attack on a supermarket in the eastern donetsk region has proved fatal. although it is not clear whether it was a direct response to ukraine's cross—border assault. this woman was there. translation: we started climbing out of the window, she says. _ we were barely outside when everything started burning. i started running one way, my colleague ran the other way. ukrainian emergency services have been searching through the rubble for signs of life, no respite for those living this reality. frances read, bbc news.

with the latest about that surprise incursion into russia, here's our kyiv correspondent james waterhouse. i think if you look at the pictures you've just seen, i think that reflects what ukraine was after in the short term at least. russia is putting more and more resources into trying to contain this offensive. we have seen a lot of men and machinery moved in the direction of kursk and neighbouring regions along the border, as ukrainian forces seemingly take more and more territory. and they have even been frustrated in that endeavour with one convoy certainly being destroyed. and now we have what's been described as a counterterror operation, a counterterrorism operation, by the kremlin, which gives powers for cars to be searched, for phone tapping, for vehicles, the movement of vehicles and people to be extremely limited. this is something russia is having

to take seriously and i think for ukraine the hope is that it will relieve pressure on the front lines on its own territory, where it is russia continuing to advance. it's important not to understate how significant this week has been because this has been a war, certainly for ukraine, of gruelling familiarity. and here we've had this sort of strange inversion where you have the sight of russian civilians reacting with fear and anger in some cases and leaving their homes. this is something that we see across ukraine continually. and it really has sort of shaken things up in that respect. ukraine has increased the stakes and in this war of territory, where russia often talks about wanting ukraine to concede land in exchange for peace, well, now ukraine controls a chunk of russian territory. it really is a high—stakes move and it could, you know, we are still talking about ukrainian

forces that are overstretched, so it has been an extraordinary few days. let's speak to a ukrainian journalist who joins us from kyiv. this is a high stakes move from ukraine — what do you think is behind it? well, definitely this incursion of ukraine's fast.. forces that started five days ago... 0verall ukraine's fast.. forces that started five days ago... overall the situation on the front line. one of the reasons of this happening is that ukraine wants to gain the leveraged in the future negotiations with moscow. at the same time, it is also to show the weakness of the russian forces, who barely can control their own territory. and at the same time one of the reasons to

remove troops from the eastern regions of donetsk, the redeployed troops. i spoke to a commander from the territory and there were at least two russian brigades that were deployed to the region. at the same time, this is quite a surprise operation. a surprise not only for the soldiers who participate. i know i'm aware of at least five brigades have taken part in this counteroffensive operation. they were sent for recuperation, for some sort of vacation and during this time they were sent to the kursk region. it is interesting that normally during such operations

ukraine relieve the hospitals to prepare the beds for the wounded. the territories close to the kursk region are not prepared. so now at a very fast speed ukraine and medical forces are preparing the beds for the upcoming wounded soldiers. i’m the upcoming wounded soldiers. i'm interested on what the impact on this has had on morale both within the military and also the wider ukrainian public.— the military and also the wider ukrainian public. well, definitely eve aain ukrainian public. well, definitely every gain of _ ukrainian public. well, definitely every gain of territory, _ ukrainian public. well, definitely every gain of territory, every - every gain of territory, every victory brings a boost to the morale of the military. and ukraine didn't have any gains for quite a while. so undeniably it boost the morale of people. again, the fighting hasn't stopped but the number of shelling,

particularly in kyiv over the last couple days. with regards to civilians of course this also brings feelings ofjoy civilians of course this also brings feelings of joy and civilians of course this also brings feelings ofjoy and happiness. and at the same time we were hearing today those breakthrough not only in the area of sudzha but also a forest in another region. so we expect there will be more breakthroughs in russian territory, more incursions over the along the border with russia. so undeniably it brings some sort of relief in the east of the country, where russia has gained over the past few months territory. the important motorway...

over the past few months territory. the important motorway. . .- over the past few months territory. the important motorway... thank you ve much the important motorway. .. thank you very much for— the important motorway... thank you very much forjoining _ the important motorway... thank you very much forjoining us. _ king charles has made his first public comments since the outbreak of widespread disorder across the uk last week — expressing "heartfelt thanks" to the police and emergency services. police say more than 740 people have been arrested — and more than 300 charged — since the unrest sparked by the killing of three children in southport. thomas magill has more. 0ur street! whose street? 0ur street! maintaining order at the latest demonstration, outside a hotel believed to be used to accommodate asylum seekers in crawley. a small number of anti—immigration protesters were met by hundreds of others from the group stand up to racism. sussex police say they made one arrest, a ao—year—old man. he's one of more than 740 people who've been arrested in connection

ione wells, bbc news, in sao paulo. just before we go, a line from the olympics. ethiopian athlete has won 0lympics. ethiopian athlete has won the gold in the men's marathon. there are 39 gold medals up in all today, including the men's basketball final between the hosts france and the usa. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. more sunshine expected as we head through the weekend, especially tomorrow, right across the uk. there will be a brief spike in heat and humidity, particularly for southern and eastern areas of england. it will be only brief because we will see fresher feeling conditions with some outbreaks of rain by the time we get to tuesday. we're not quite there yet

with the heat either today. there is a lot of cloud from this weather front towards the south of england and across wales, some patches of rain towards the west at times. still a slice of sunshine across the far south and the east. a lot of this cloud will tend to break up through the afternoon. the best of the sunshine will be across northern ireland, parts of northern england, where it should stay largely dry. a scattering of showers for north—west scotland. here it is cooler and still breezy, but elsewhere the winds are lighter than they were yesterday. highs of 16 to 25 celsius. tonight, well, it will still feel rather muggy, but a cooler night towards the north and the west with clear spells developing. a bit of mist and low cloud perhaps into tomorrow morning and the risk of some sea fog towards the south coast. across the south, again, lows of around 13 to 16 degrees. high pressure dominates as we head through sunday. we're drawing in more of a south—easterly wind and that's going to allow the temperatures to build for many of us. the sea fog could lap onshore at times, but it should all be gone, even out towards the south—west, as we head through the afternoon. some areas of cloud at times,

but a lot of sunshine too. the sunshine, of course, will help the temperatures to rise, so a warmer looking day across the board. 16 to 23 celsius in scotland, but maybe the high 20s now in the far south—east of england. on monday we're likely to see the peak of the heat towards the south and the east, but some heavy, thundery showers further north and west, just gradually tracking their way further eastwards. temperature—wise, we could get as high as perhaps 32 or even 33 degrees celsius somewhere across southern or eastern areas of england, making it the warmest day of the year so far if we do get to 33 degrees. atlantic fronts, though, pushing in from the west on tuesday will bring some fresher feeling conditions. still the high 20s in south—east england, but much cooler than that further north and west. there will be some outbreaks of rain gradually pushing eastwards. that sets the tone, really, for the rest of the week — cooler and quite unsettled at times. bye— bye.

# trouble, trouble, trouble #. vienna is full of swifties with no concert to go to, so locals are trying to make them welcome. this spinning club, which usually runs taylor swift—themed classes, is holding a party for disappointed fans. we're at the studio, but we're not riding bikes. we're just exchanging bracelets and listening to sad music so we can process the feelings together. justin came all the way from canada. i couldn't be more grateful to all the people who have worked so hard to keep us safe and, you know, the systems worked in this case. i'm so grateful to vienna for making so many opportunities for swifties to meet up and share this community and celebrate it. to me, that'sjust as special. some vienna museums are offering anyone with a ticket free entry, including the mozart house, home to another musical superstar. this restaurant is offering free burgers to ticket—holders. austrian railways is refunding train tickets and there are discounts at many other cafes and clubs.

# i was thinking of the drive down, any time now #. - the shows may have been cancelled, but the street parties go on. bethany bell, bbc news, vienna. let's get some of the day's other news now. a man from california has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for repeatedly attacking police during the assault on the us capitol building in january 2021. the sentence handed down to david dempsey is the second longest for any of the nearly 1,500 people charged over the riot. north korea says the country's leader, kimjong—un, has made a further visit to one of the areas worst affected by recent devastating floods. mr kim's trip reportedly saw him set out plans to move around 15,000 people to the capital, pyongyang, while new homes are built. venezuela's president, nicolas maduro, has ruled out

negotiations with the opposition leader maria corina machado over his disputed re—election. mr maduro was speaking shortly after asking the supreme court to affirm his re—election. there is strong evidence that the opposition candidate edmundo gonzalez was the real victor. king charles has praised the way "community spirit" and "compassion" have countered the "aggression and criminality" displayed in the recent rioting across the uk. he says he hopes "shared values of mutual respect and understanding, will continue to strengthen and unite the nation". a library that was set on fire during the violence in liverpool, had served one of the most deprived communities in the city. hundreds of thousands of pounds have been raised to rebuild it, as phil mccann reports. this was the moment rioters tried to destroy the hub of this community. i seen it online, i seen flames on the inside of our amazing

building, so i was just devastated. and this is the spellow hub today. normally, you'd come here to borrow a book, get help from the council, go tojob workshops, and there were classes like these for children. they've had to move down the road. such a loss... kelly runs the classes. it's their sense of community, it's somewhere where they can come and belong and just be children. we haven't got that much money in this community, so everything that we have we look after. so to see this is really shocking. well, the damage here might look devastating, but it is much less severe in the rest of this facility. there is still a lot of smoke damage, though, and so it might take quite some time to get this place back online for this community. two online fundraising campaigns will help. together, they've raised nearly £250,000. and they've had donations from authors like nigella lawson, matt haig and the children's laureate frank cottrell—boyce. liam, who's a local school librarian, started one of them. i've been blown away by the response. i initially set a target for £500, aimed specifically

at family and friends. donations have come from around the world, but also from this community in the streets around everton's goodison park. i think that just shows how close the community are in liverpool. when it actually matters, they are there for one another. thank you to everyone who's raised any money for it, and i hope it's put to good use and we get a bullet—proof library that no—one can get into. the council here says the support is appreciated and humbling. phil mccann, bbc news, liverpool. since the unrest began almost two weeks ago there have been more than 740 arrests, with more than 300 people charged in connection with the disorder. 118 people are now behind bars. yesterday, the first jail terms for encouraging unrest on social media were handed down to three men — tyler kay, richard williams and jordan parlour.

26—year—old kay was sentenced to three years and two months in prison for inciting racial hatred online. counter protesters also received sentences. sameer ali and adnan ghafoor said they had been provoked by anti—muslim insults in leeds before punching a group of men. the judge said that was no excuse. more sentences are expected to be handed down next week. katie barnfield has been to bolton to see how communities affected by the violence have tried to move on. nearly a week on from the violence that gripped bolton, the town is still feeling the impact. several people have now been arrested after tiles, bottles and fireworks were thrown between two groups of rival protesters. but some business owners say its left people frightened to come here. rumours going through and my customer is scared, he don't come, and we very bad situation still.

amran says the takings at his shoe shop are down 80% over the past week. how can i pay my rent and rates and, you know, business, everything? it's not i feel for personally, oh, he kills me, that's no problem. but the main thing, you kill my business. arif had to close his restaurant on sunday after rocks were thrown outside. it's been so quiet since. he's struggling to cover his rent. usually i have in the lunchtime over 200 customers and the breakfast around 150 customers coming. but yesterday, before yesterday, three days ago, the market, the town centre, empty. the door is open, but no people. the week's disorder across the north west comes at a time when many business owners are already struggling. the federation of small businesses say for some it will be a difficult road to recovery. bear in mind some of these

businesses are on really wafer thin margins. they've got high staff costs, they've got business rates to pay for, energy bills are still sky high, so this is just another cost to bear for them. for many it will be the final nail in the coffin, actually. greater manchester police are still looking for 12 people over the disorder that broke out here last sunday and say they want to reassure communities they have the resources in place to protect them from further disruption. i heard in the news now he takes a third cobra meeting. that's a good sign. it means the government is very seriously take this all concern. i think in the market will come back quickly, like this, you know? so you feel hopeful? you feel positive? yes. local businesses here in bolton are just hoping that rumours of more protests this weekend don't come to pass. earlier, my colleague at bbc breakfast naga munchetty

spoke to the former chair of the criminal bar association, francis fitzgibbon kc for his assessment on the pace of the prosecutions. the speed with which the entire criminaljustice system has reacted has been extraordinary. you have to remember that there is currently a backlog of, i think, 76,000 cases waiting to get on in the crown court, at least. so they've had to push lots of other cases out of the way to make room for the emergency that the riots have generated in order to show people that this kind of behaviour will be dealt with very, very swiftly and very firmly. it's a tribute to all those concerned in the system, from police to prosecutors to advocates to court staff to judges to probation officers, that they've been able to prioritise these cases very much against the odds, i think, because the system in general, as your viewers will probably know, is massively over capacity and has been starved

of resources for a very long time. so how have the resources been able to be stretched for this? well, as far as the courts are concerned, they will have had to move other cases out of the way to make room for for these ones. so when they come back, one doesn't know, but they'll have to join the queue at some stage. but essentially, everyone has just gone that extra mile to make sure that these cases are dealt with at maximum speed. i suppose these are the ones, though, where people have pleaded guilty, so that makes it quicker. that's right. those are the ones that really have been fast—tracked. i think people who are fighting their cases will have to wait. many of them have found themselves remanded in custody, so they're getting their first, possibly their first, or if not their first a taste of prison as a result of what they've been up

to or what they've been charged with doing, i should say, in the course of these disturbances. the courts are currently listing cases in 2026, even in 2027. so there's no telling really when some of these people will be on trial. although i imagine that they'll want to again bump them up the list for the same reasons that they've been dealing with a guilty pleas very quickly. where do you sit on this? i mean, you will know, and you would have no doubt, as many of your colleagues have been being frustrated by seeing cases delayed for months, years, in terms of getting to course getting to courts. i'm thinking, you know, we often speak about how long it takes for rape convictions to get through for rape trials to happen. how do we balance or how do you balance in your head

looking at the urgency that has been made clear about setting an example and a zero tolerance approach to violence and thuggery, to actually people who are still waiting forjustice to be served? no one should think that the the usual slow pace of the process is due to idleness by anybody concerned. as i say, the system is working at or over capacity at present and this is a one off event being able to do things this quickly. if they wanted to speed the whole system up, it would require a massive amount of investment in people and resources. for example, the last government sold off, i think, about half of the court buildings in the country. so at the very start of the process there's a squeeze on the amount of room that's available for cases to be heard.

i think police numbers are now going up again, but a lot of people have left the profession of criminal law for one reason or another, partly because of burnout, because the workload has been so high, partly because the fees haven't really kept up with cost of living in lots of parts of the country. so there are all sorts of pressures that remain and that will continue to remain unless somebody realises that if you wantjustice to be done quickly and efficiently, you've got to put resources into it. next to the olympics and it's the penultimate day of the paris games. there are a whopping 39 gold medals up for grabs today, making it the busiest day of olympics action since 2000. ethiopa's tamirat tola claimed gold in the men's marathon, finishing with a time of two hours, six minutes and 26 seconds. it is ethiopa's third medal at these games and its first gold. bashir abdi of belguim claimed

silver and rhonex kipruto of kenya finished third. this is the scene live in the french capital. later today, in an olympic first, members of the public will follow in the shoes of the 0lympian marathon runners, with around 20,000 amateur runners racing on the same course. highlights later include the women's football final between the usa and brazil and the men's basketball final between the hosts france and the usa. in case you missed it, here are some of the highlights from friday's action. the algerian boxer imane khelif, who has been embroiled in a gender eligibility row at the games, has won gold in the women's welterweight category. the 25—year—old beat the chinese world champion yang liu after dominating the fight. khelif and the taiwanese boxer lin yu—ting's participation at the games has proven controversial after both were disqualified from last year's world championships by the international boxing association

forfailing to meet gender eligibility criteria. the international olympic committee's president, thomas bach, has defended their participation and has described the row as a politically motivated culture war. elsewhere at the games, nafi thiam of belgium won the women's heptathlon, her third gold medal in the multi—discipline event. britain's katarina johnson—thompson took silver and moor vidts, also of belgium, claimed bronze. the hosts, france, have reached the women's basketball final after defeating belgium in their semifinal clash. they will now battle the usa in the gold medal game on sunday, a day after both nations also go head to head in the men's final. earlier, the first ever breaking, or breakdancing, medals were awarded after the sport, which blends urban dance with acrobatic moves, made its debut at the games. japan's ami yu—sa took gold in the women's event, with the men's event taking place later.

19 year—old british climber toby roberts took gold in the boulder and lead climbing event. the clear favourite in that sport, sorato anraku from japan, had to settle for silver. let's speak to david kohn, author of �*the best and worst of the 0lympics'. what have you made of the paris game so far? , ,., , , so far? yes, sometimes it is difficult to — so far? yes, sometimes it is difficult to be _ so far? yes, sometimes it is difficult to be objective, - so far? yes, sometimes it is difficult to be objective, but| so far? yes, sometimes it is| difficult to be objective, but i so far? yes, sometimes it is - difficult to be objective, but i am going tojudge the difficult to be objective, but i am going to judge the games difficult to be objective, but i am going tojudge the games by difficult to be objective, but i am going to judge the games by three principal criteria. first of all, have you had world—class athletes performing world—class performances? secondly, has there been a great atmosphere in superb venues? thirdly, from a gb perspective, how has team gb done? and thirdly, from a gb perspective, how has team gb done?— has team gb done? and all all of of those? i would _ has team gb done? and all all of of those? i would say _ has team gb done? and all all of of those? i would say paris _ has team gb done? and all all of of those? i would say paris has -

truth pick the paris opening ceremony is one of the best. it was ambitious but the rain did not help and probably not having it in the stadium didn't help build the atmosphere. there has been such a brilliant atmosphere and brilliant venues at this games. for the closing ceremony it is always sad, i think. i'm getting withdrawal symptoms already. i'm already looking forward to la.- symptoms already. i'm already looking forward to la. thank you, david. hello there. more sunshine expected as we head through the weekend, especially tomorrow, right across the uk. there will be a brief spike in heat and humidity, particularly for southern and eastern areas of england. it will be only brief because we will see fresher feeling conditions with some outbreaks of rain by the time we get to tuesday. we're not quite there yet with the heat either today. there is a lot of cloud from this weather front towards the south

of england and across wales, some patches of rain towards the west at times. still a slice of sunshine across the far south and the east. a lot of this cloud will tend to break up through the afternoon. the best of the sunshine will be across northern ireland, parts of northern england, where it should stay largely dry. a scattering of showers for north—west scotland. here it is cooler and still breezy, but elsewhere the winds are lighter than they were yesterday. highs of 16 to 25 celsius. tonight, well, it will still feel rather muggy, but a cooler night towards the north and the west with clear spells developing. a bit of mist and low cloud perhaps into tomorrow morning and the risk of some sea fog towards the south coast. across the south, again, lows of around 13 to 16 degrees. high pressure dominates as we head through sunday. we're drawing in more of a south—easterly wind and that's going to allow the temperatures to build for many of us. the sea fog could lap onshore at times, but it should all be gone, even out towards the south—west, as we head through the afternoon. some areas of cloud at times, but a lot of sunshine too.

the sunshine, of course, will help the temperatures to rise, so a warmer looking day across the board. 16 to 23 celsius in scotland, but maybe the high 20s now in the far south—east of england. on monday we're likely to see the peak of the heat towards the south and the east, but some heavy, thundery showers further north and west, just gradually tracking their way further eastwards. temperature—wise, we could get as high as perhaps 32 or even 33 degrees celsius somewhere across southern or eastern areas of england, making it the warmest day of the year so far if we do get to 33 degrees. atlantic fronts, though, pushing in from the west on tuesday will bring some fresher feeling conditions. still the high 20s in south—east england, but much cooler than that further north and west. there will be some outbreaks of rain gradually pushing eastwards. that sets the tone, really, for the rest of the week — cooler and quite unsettled at times. bye— bye.
