they were off—loaded from buses and trucks, their id was checked and those who were not of the ethnicity of balochistan were shot dead. this is what authorities in pakistan say. on the other side, the balochistan liberation army, and armed insurgent group operating in balochistan, they have claimed responsibility for several attacks overnight in the province. they say they have been targeting military personnel, but the authorities on the other hand claimed those who were killed were mostly civilian. the police have recovered the bodies of at least 17 other people from other different parts of the province as well. they say five of them were security personnel and the rest of them were civilians. this is a spree of attacks that started last night in balochistan, which is the largest province area wise, and the richest in terms of natural resources, but also the least developed in pakistan. it has been the home of

they claim they are fighting for a separate baloch state because they believe the pakistan government and military establishment have been exploiting their resources and they have been depriving them of their right to those resources. that has been one of the major reasons for such attacks. that's one of the reasons that people who are not of baloch ethnicity have been targeted in the past. there is a counterinsurgency operation going on in the province, which also becomes a reason for such attacks. this is not the only incident. in the last 24 not the only incident. in the last 2a hours, for example, a military group has targeted several police stations, they have targeted security forces and at the same time they have attacked railways, railway tracks, so this keeps happening in balochistan. it has escalated in the last few years. balochistan. it has escalated in the last few yew-— last few years. what on the government _ last few years. what on the government and _ last few years. what on the j government and authorities last few years. what on the - government and authorities are saying about this particular incident where we now know at least 39 people have been killed? the

they brought her here to hyderabad to train. once she was here, she started to struggle to understand some of her training. one of her coaches thought she might have an intellectual impairment. after deepthi was assessed, she qualified for the t20 class. dan pepper, himself a former paralympian in the intellectual impairment class, has been trying to find out why for a new bbc world service documentary. hejoins me now from salford. thank you forjoining us this morning. can you first explain to us, who don�*t follow the paralympics, what the term intellectual impairment covers. thank you for having me, for starters. yeah, it basically covers here in uk we call it intellectual disability. but internationally they might call it intellectual impairment or intellectual

disability. that�*s what it covers. to qualify for the paralympics you need an iq of 75 or below. it needs to have affected you since childhood. and affect you in your day to day skills like handling money or getting around and things like that. and specifically it needs to affect you in your specific sport. that�*s kind of the criteria to qualify for the paralympics. we�*ve seen people with physical impairments, but when did the athletes with intellectual impairments first get included in the paralympics? tt impairments first get included in the paralympics?— the paralympics? it got first included in _ the paralympics? it got first included in 1996. _ the paralympics? it got first included in 1996. i- the paralympics? it got first included in 1996. i think- the paralympics? it got first l included in 1996. i think there the paralympics? it got first - included in 1996. i think there was just a very few medals, just ate up for grabs there. and in sydney 2000, that�*s when it kind of really got

introduced, there were 33 medals, i think, up for grabs. introduced, there were 33 medals, i think, upfor grabs. but unfortunately that�*s where the big cheating scandal happened. i have produced another podcast on that called the fake paralympians. you can check that out if you want to hear about that. that led to a nine year ban, so we were reintroduced for the london 2012 paralympics. that was just in the swimming, for myself, obviously, and then athletics and table tennis are the three sports. and it is still leading into paris, where there�*s only 21 medals up for grabs, again still in those three sports. you have done _ still in those three sports. you have done this _ still in those three sports. you have done this new— still in those three sports. you have done this new documentary for the world service where you have been looking at why more countries don�*t have athletes in that intellectual impairment category at the paralympics. what did you find?

yeah, there is still the stigma around it, ithink, to start yeah, there is still the stigma around it, i think, to start off with. and the lack of awareness. as you heard earlier on we went to india to meet their first—ever paralympian with an intellectual impairment, which isjust crazy, really. a lovely lady, deepthi jeevanji is her name, and she is competing in paris in athletics. it is still a slow introduction back in. again, there is still only 21 medals up for grabs and still only in three sports. so it is kind of getting better but it�*s just a very slow process. and the lack of awareness around the world is kind of one of the things that we have found out about. dan of one of the things that we have found out about.— of one of the things that we have found out about. dan pepper, thank

the german chancellor, olaf scholz, is visiting the western city of solingen to commemorate the victims of friday�*s mass stabbing. these are pictures from the scene. you can see the chancellor arriving. prosecutors have charged a syrian man who came to germany as an asylum seeker. he�*s accused of being a member of the islamic state group. let�*s speak to our correspondent damian mcguinness, who�*s in berlin.

has said they want a ban on all migration. this comes in a to key regional elections in eastern germany this coming weekend. the far right afd is hoping to do very well there. they are running on a tough anti—migrant ticket, anti—refugee ticket. i think what a lot of people are questioning now is whether this will help the far right in those elections. at the same time, in stirling and yesterday they were protest, antiracism protest, of people saying that they stand for diversity, they want a multicultural society. there were far right protests as well, much smaller, both protests as well, much smaller, both protest remaining relatively peaceful but i think the political debate is certainly going to get more ferocious over the next few days. more ferocious over the next few da s. ~ . , , , days. damien mcguinness live in berlin, thank _ days. damien mcguinness live in berlin, thank you. _

,now do you answer calls or emails from your work place after you have gone home? australian employees now have the right to ignore communication from their bosses outside working hours. the new law that enshrines the right to disconnect will protect people who refuse to monitor or respond to messages from work until they clock back in, unless it would be unreasonable to do so. let�*s speak tojessica heron, who is a lawyer at maurice blackburn. she joins us from brisbane. how does the new law work? the new law will work — how does the new law work? the new law will work in _ how does the new law work? the new law will work in a _ how does the new law work? the new law will work in a really _ law will work in a really common—sense manner. it seems like it�*s technical but it�*s actually really not. if you answer the question, do you think that the contact is reasonable, and you land on yes, then it is likely going to be that the contact is reasonable.

it's be that the contact is reasonable. it�*s not going to be complicated for employees and employers to have a conversation around what they think the guidelines should look like. do you foresee there being any legal problems with that description that you have given, where an employee says, this wasn�*t unreasonable, but the bosses say that it was reasonable.— the bosses say that it was reasonable. . ., , �* reasonable. there could be. but in the event that _ reasonable. there could be. but in the event that the _ reasonable. there could be. but in the event that the contention - the event that the contention arises, that�*s where the new laws go further than any laws we have seen in any other country in acting. and the employee can go to what we have in australia, the fair work commission, to have an independent body make an assessment as to whether or not it is in fact reasonable.— whether or not it is in fact reasonable. ., ., , , ., reasonable. how many people do you think this will — reasonable. how many people do you think this will apply _ reasonable. how many people do you think this will apply to? _ think this will apply to? unfortunately not many. i think it�*s actually going to really only capture a very small amount of workers in australia. the reason is,

most people in their employment contracts will have what is called a reasonable additional hours clause. what the cause enables employers to do is direct their employees to work outside their ordinary hours. that will automatically make the right to disconnect invalid. this hasn�*t been really discussed at length in australia yet but it is certainly going to be a barrier to these laws. jessica heron, thank you forjoining us live from brisbane on bbc news. we will turn our attention to northern ireland. this week marks 30 years since the first significant paramilitary ceasefire in northern ireland, and as the peace process has unfolded, the political landscape has shifted. in the general election, sinn fein became the first irish nationalist party to win most seats, but unionists still received a higher number of votes overall.

our ireland correspondent, chris page, looks at how traditional identities are being re—imagined, a generation after the violence largely ended. in northern ireland, politics is coloured by contrasting constitutional narratives, but it isn�*t all binary, and black and white. there�*s a rough template that i grew up with, the protestant unionist tradition. my culture very much came from the british tv, uk tv, and politics is downstream from culture, so i feel like a scotsman or a welshman — that i�*m part of the greater entity. i very much feel like an irishman too. brianjohn spencer explores identity through his art. he believes northern ireland should, and will, stay in the united kingdom, because most people don�*t want a big change. when it comes to the constitutional question, it�*s on the radio every week here, but i don�*t think it�*s coming anytime soon.

you want a safe harbour, orjust maybe, better the devil you know, or keep a hold of nurse for fear of something worse. so that�*s possibly what i�*m sensing when i�*m talking to people. the big picture is still being painted. the conflict known as the troubles lasted for three decades. it�*s been largely over for almost as long. the place that i grew up in is not the place that my daughters have grown up in. and in that way, we've made so much headway. emma jordan is a theatre director in belfast. she says the dublin government provides better arts funding, and suggests issues like that could affect the constitutional debate. all of our international touring is funded through culture ireland. culture ireland are a cultural organisation based in the republic of ireland, but they've got an all—ireland agenda. that has to have an effect in terms of your day—to—day understanding of how you sit in society. the things that you care about, how are they valued? that tells a tale in

itself, doesn't it? the story of the future will nevertheless be framed by the past. the wounds are so great that they need to heal. gwen stevenson crossed the border with the republic of ireland every day for a year to make this poignant film. alexander bannister, 21. seamus morris, 18. it remembers all the victims of violence, and reminds that communities remain divided. if we could introduce integrated education, if we could integrate housing, have less segregated housing, if we could be economically more prosperous and more politically stable, then i think we can move forward. the peace process has brought new thinking about perennial issues. there are signs people are reconsidering what traditional identities mean, or stepping outside them. chris page, bbc news, belfast.

it appears the gallagher brothers are no longer looking back in anger, with growing speculation that an oasis reunion could be on the cards. after several years of feuding, both noel and liam gallagher have teased that an announcement may be made tomorrow morning, posting on x the date and time, written in the style of the oasis logo. former frontman liam also dedicated a song to his brother noel during his set at reading festival on sunday. we probably think the announcement of a reunion will happen tomorrow, what�*s the money on them also appearing at glastonbury when it comes back? we will see. just take you back to one of our main stories, a fire in dagenham in east london. we can show you some drone pictures from overnight. the police have now

declared a major incident with the london fire brigade having to deal with that fire. you can see in other pictures on the right—hand side of the screen, there is still a lot of smoke coming from that building. two people have been taken to hospital and more than 100 residents have been evacuated. the whole building has been affected by the fire. there are some flats in it but also some other uses for the building. we are hearing that work had been under way to remove noncompliant cladding on the flats and the fire brigade says the flats and the fire brigade says the building had a number of fire safety issues. around 200 firefighters are at the scene. we have a live page up and running with the latest. you can scan the qr code to the side of your screen. you can also find it on the bbc news website and app if you have that on your

mobile device. we will have the latest in the next hour on bbc news. now it�*s time for a check on the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. today is not going to be as wet or as windy as it was yesterday, and it will be a bit warmer. and in fact, as we go through this week, what you will notice is it�*s going to turn warmer for a time. the peak will probably be on wednesday. it will dip, then pick up at the weekend. there�*ll be some sunshine, but there�*ll also be spells of rain. if we look at the air mass chart, you can see how on wednesday we see the amber colours return, then we�*ve got the cooler yellows, but as we head back into the weekend, the amber colours start to return, showing that increase in temperature. today, though, we still do have areas of cloud floating around. there will be sunny intervals as well. the early morning rain really breaking up across northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland, where we could catch the odd shower through the day. but temperatures, 1a to about 23 degrees north to south. but later, the cloud is going to thicken out towards the west, the wind will strengthen and we�*ll

start to see some rain arrive. and this rain across western scotland will be particularly heavy, a0 millimetres quite possible by the end of the night, falling on already very saturated ground. overnight lows between 10 and about 16 degrees. we start tomorrow, then, on a dry note for england and for wales, but our band of heavy rain continues to push slowly southeastwards. the sunshine will turn hazy ahead of it and behind it we see a return to bright spells, sunshine and also a few showers, more especially in the northwest. but despite that, temperatures up. looking at 16 in stornoway, 19 in newcastle, to a high of 25 or 26 in the southeast. tuesday into wednesday, the weather front continues to sink south but it could develop a wave, so it might take the rain on it a little bit further north for a time. but as this front tries to push eastwards during the course of wednesday, it�*s running into an area of high pressure, so it will be a fairly weak affair. some drier conditions behind it, but heavy, potentially thundery, showers coming in across western scotland and northern ireland.

but this is when we are expecting the highest temperatures, up to 27, maybe higher than that in the southeast. that weather front eventually pushes away, thursday and friday, and we�*ve got this ridge of high pressure building in behind it. so what we�*re looking at as we head on into thursday once again is a fair bit of dry weather, some showers in the north. it�*ll be fresher for all but warming up into the weekend.
