the israeli military announcing it has found several bodies underground in the gaza strip. the idf has not confirmed whether they are the remains of israeli hostages held by hamas. israel says the bodies were discovered during combat and its military is working to extract and identify them, which will take several hours. us presidentjoe biden addressed the media in the state of delaware just a short while ago. my staff have been in contact with the israelis and discovered bodies in gaza. not sure the exact number. they have not taken them out yet. they wanted to identify the bodies. a lot of speculation as to who they are and names, i am not at liberty to do that at the moment. it is time this war ended, we should end this war. we are on the verge of having an agreement. it is time to end it. palestinian health workers in gaza have started

vaccinating some babies against polio, a day before a mass immunisation programme is due to begin. palestinian health workers carried out the vaccinations in nasser hospital in khan younis. unicef says the vaccinations will take place for six and a half hours every day until wednesday. israel and hamas have agreed to three localised pauses in fighting to enable the vaccination of more than 600,000 palestinian children. with more from jerusalem — here's our correspondent, jon donnison. the official polio vaccination campaign doesn't start until sunday morning. it is being coordinated by the united nations but we do understand that the first babies have been vaccinated today in khan younis in the south of gaza. what it's going to involve and get under way as a series of three—day, area specific pauses in fighting that both israel and hamas

have agreed to. the key words there are "area specific", so we're not talking about the formal ceasefire that diplomats have been pushing for weeks and months, we are talking about pauses in fighting in specific areas. so we understand that the first area that they are going to proceed in is deir al balah, in the centre of the gaza strip. presumably, after three days, they will move on to other areas. but we are talking about a lot of children and babies. 6a0,000, the united nations is saying, so that is going to be quite a big operation and i think particularly in the north of gaza, it could be challenging. in the north, israel has in effect cut the gaza strip in two and it controls this corridor which cuts across the gaza strip and that could make access to the north a bit more challenging. but, it is a rare bit of positive news on the

humanitarian fronts coming out of gaza which has been welcomed by everyone watching this conflict that has now been going on for ten months. unicef�*s emergency communications specialist — joe english told me more how the vaccine distribution will work and what kind of challenges they'll be facing. we are encouraging parents that they can find a way to identify those sites and get their children vaccinated. it is a monumental task. a monumental challenge but we have over 2100 heroic and i cannot stress this enough, campaign delivered by local palestinian community health workers and community awareness bases, getting out into communities to make sure we can reach 90% of the 600,000 children under ten years old who need to be protected from this.

we saw the story of young abdul and his mother's pain and if we can remove one of this multitude of threats to children by successfully delivering this campaign, does it solve the entire situation? not by a long way but it is a start. integral to all of this artist pauses infighting. are you confident they will be respected and for families to have the confidence to bring their babies and children to be their babies and children to be the areas to be vaccinated. they also have to trust that as well. we will start to see. we are hoping with every essence of our being that these pauses will be respected. i cannot stress how important that is. the good thing is if we see it respeced then parents will be more confident about bringing their children

on the next days. the story of young abdul, 11 months old just starting to crawl, these are memories for parents, the first steps, first time they pull themselves up and now they are being torn away. the first memories parents are having of their young babies are a nightmare and heartbreak. it is important and critical we can get in and vaccinate these children but ultimately if we are really going to address the needs of children and health needs and their entire needs, there has to be a long—term ceasefire and pause in the fighting. talk about the needs and polio and you look at how it works. as the report mentioned you need something like 90% of coverage as i understand it for this to be effective. children need multiple doses as well. are you at all worried that could be interrupted? it is two doses four weeks apart so we will do this and go again in four weeks.

all of these absolutely incredible local health workers. we will need to see a proper pause in fighting, need to see that again, hopefully before then we could see a ceasefire because that is the only way to really keep children safe because we can protect them from polio but there is the threat of cholera, air strikes, being separated from theirfamily, these kids have been out of school for almost a year. if we are to really provide children in gaza and beyond in the west bank with a future then there needs to be an end to the fighting. tell us more about how polio spreads. we have all seen the pictures from gaza, it must be very difficult for parents to keep their children away from the sources of this virus. it is heartbreaking. the mother of abdul, her talking of feeling guilty about not getting her child vaccinated when they have been forced from their homes five

times over and over again. that breaks my heart. i think any parent, all you want is to keep your child safe and give them a future. it is important to know that polio is not only a threat to children in gaza. to children across the region it is potentially a threat. briefly if you don't mind, you mentioned the possibility of other diseases and other viruses, cholera and so on. there is that could serve this could just be wide of others when you have a health system that has all but collapsed. honestly it is the work of dedicated doctors and nurses and health workers in

general, it is incredible but they are working, running on empty. they have been for months. doctor said that the best medicine is peace and we cannot say that enough. we need to see hostages released, need to see end to the fighting. need to see that hope for the future. in the occupied west bank: palestinian families are being forced to leave ajenin refugee camp, after israeli troops sealed off the town for four days during a major military assault by israeli troops. loud explosions and sporadic gunfire could still be heard from inside the camp on saturday, as israel's helicopters and drones circled overhead. the palestinian red crescent said there are still a couple bodies inside the camp that they've been unable to reach. at least 20 people have died in recent attacks in the occupied west bank. israel says the raids are aimed at preventing attacks. two women were killed and children were among 10

injured after a russian bomb struck a residential building in ukraine's kharkiv region on saturday. the aerial raids come as ukrainian soldiers on the front line are struggling to repel waves of russian infantry. russia said saturday it claimed victory over a settlement near the city of pokrovsk, a crucial logistics hub for ukraine's military. capturing the city has been a months—long objective for moscow. 0ne ukrainian military analyst told the bbc: ukraine's president zelensky said pokrovsk region was facing "the highest number of assaults" and said "nearly 200 battles are being fought daily along the entire front." as for the state of the russian army, a project from bbc russia and mediazona tracking russian military deaths in ukraine found that a500 more deaths were recorded in the past month. it brings the death toll of russian soldiers to 66,000, though the actual toll is believed to be significantly higher.

the ukrainian army says it continues to make advances thousands of demonstrators have been taking part in rallies in the eastern german states of saxony and thuringia on the eve of elections in which the far—right is expected to perform strongly. in the city of erfurt, protesters denounced the alternative for germany party, or afd, as fascists. the afd has called for an end to germany's military aid to ukraine and is also known for its anti—immigration stance. here's what the party's parliamentary leader, alice weidel, told supporters at a rally on saturday. take a listen. translation: germany needs controlled borders again. - i demand the immediate expulsion of all illegal immigrants from our country. all criminals, all extremists, they must leave our country. a win in state elections on sunday would be the first for a far—right party in germany since world war ii.

0ur correspondent, jessica parker has more. these are regional, not national elections. nevertheless, they could be seismic. here in thuringia the far right alternative for deutschland has been leading the polls and running a close second in neighbouring saxony. however, because many view the party as extremist, something they reject, they may struggle to find coalition partners in order to actually take power. the man who heads up the afd here in thuringia is a highly controversial figure called bjorn hooker. he's a talisman of the party's hard right, and has twice been fined this year for knowingly using a nazi slogan, something he denied. this vote may also deliver a major repudiation of the government in berlin, under chancellor 0laf scholz and his traffic light coalition. it's a litmus test here in the country's east, a year ahead of the federal elections. anna noryskiewicz is a reporter with cbs

news in germany. and she described the feeling in the country on the eve of the election. the mood in germany as tense as the lead in alexian �*s get closer it was are worried about the rise of the far right party, the afd, which according to polls will become a major player in states. most likely becoming second in saxony for the people i speak to the traditional political rules might be challenged and essentially leading to a big change in germany's political scene since world war ii. you have some — scene since world war ii. you have some of _ scene since world war ii. you have some of that _ scene since world war ii. you have some of that anxiety being felt in the country. on the other side you have people that say they will be opting for this populace parties whether it is the afd or the fire left as well, which has also been seeing an increase in popularity. talk to us about some of the issues that is getting those people motivated out and vote for the afd. there

are several _ out and vote for the afd. there are several key _ out and vote for the afd. there are several key issues - out and vote for the afd. there are several key issues that - out and vote for the afd. there are several key issues that are l are several key issues that are driving voters towards populace parties for the particular the afd but also the newly formed party mentioned, the left populace alliance. these issues are foreign policy and security for that many voters are sceptical about germany's support for ukraine and also the implications of us military presence in germany. also as a portion of the population believe in germany is overcommitted to foreign conflict and foreign politics. then of course there is economic concerns, rising energy prices, inflation, cost of living, low wages and energy prices, inflation, cost °f living, low wages and voters of living, low wages and voters are now increasingly attracted to parties that promised to prioritise the country, national interest over national commitment. and lastly it is and the immigration sentiment, with an extremist attacks like

the one last week have high interviewers around immigration and also leading to increased support for parties but basically ask and demand strict immigration policy. fine basically ask and demand strict immigration policy.— immigration policy. one thing i su ose immigration policy. one thing i sunpose we — immigration policy. one thing i suppose we should _ immigration policy. one thing i suppose we should touch - immigration policy. one thing i suppose we should touch on i immigration policy. one thing i l suppose we should touch on and all of this is aside from that, some of that anxiety about prevalence and rising popularity of the far right is the german political system is built as such that even if this party or of these parties do well, there could be some difficulty in actually forming a working coalition, couldn't they are?— a working coalition, couldn't they are? exactly. while the afd may _ they are? exactly. while the afd may secure _ they are? exactly. while the afd may secure a _ they are? exactly. while the | afd may secure a substantial share of the votes, traditional parties are currently ruling out coalitions with the afd due to their right when extremist acts. howeversome to their right when extremist acts. however some parties like the psw may reconsider their positions and potentially lead to a very complex dynamic that could either sideline the afd

orforce could either sideline the afd or force other parties to actually reconsider and negotiate with them. h0 actually reconsider and negotiate with them. no matter what happens — negotiate with them. no matter what happens there _ negotiate with them. no matter what happens there will- negotiate with them. no matter what happens there will be - negotiate with them. no matter what happens there will be the l what happens there will be the optics of this to take into consideration. i wonder what you think this will mean for chancellor 0laf scholz and his coalition and the kind of pressure this could put him under. i wonder if this might be seen as something of a litmus test of public opinion. definitely litmus test is the right term here because with the federal elections coming up in 2025 next year, if the ruling parties do poorly now, good so people are losing trust. it might force them to rethink their strategies and maybe not change how they govern right away. but the election results now or very likely make them reflect on their policies especially as more and more people are drawn to populace parties like the

afd or esw. i5 to populace parties like the afd or esw.— afd or esw. is there any indication _ afd or esw. is there any indication that _ afd or esw. is there any indication that olaf - afd or esw. is there any| indication that olaf scholz afd or esw. is there any - indication that olaf scholz and indication that 0laf scholz and his coalition may change their policies in any way to reflect that? how do you think they might respond to what is being seen? ~ ., ., , might respond to what is being seen? ~ . ., , , seen? we had a very interesting week in germany _ seen? we had a very interesting week in germany with _ seen? we had a very interesting week in germany with the - week in germany with the opposition party now. also 0laf scholz actually changing their turrin and becoming a bit more i would say direct and a bit more direct in addressing also biz answer immigration sentiment we find in the afd forcibly tone is already changing, policies are already changing. stricter laws are on their way and now the opposition with the cdu and also coalition now is working to basically pick up the voters who were maybe between the cdu

or the populace afd. brazil has begun blocking elon musk�*s social media platform, x, in a dispute about the spread of disinformation. the ruling was made after the company missed a deadline to name a new legal representative there. a supreme courtjudge ordered the "immediate and complete suspension" of x until it complies with all court orders and pays existing fines. x removed its legal representative from brazil, claiming thejudge had threatened her with arrest. several major telecoms carriers said they would comply with the ruling. if users try to dodge the ban by using virtual private networks, they risk fines of almost nine thousand dollars a day. elon musk says: "free speech is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected pseudo—judge in brazil, is destroying it for political purposes." i spoke with bbc brazil

reporter leandro prazeres. there is the risk of being fined if they tried to do it. there are a lot of people in brazil that have been using vpn for a number of reasons. the problem is there is this fineness though it has not been an easy task for brazilians to get access to x at the moment. i want how people are reacting to this and how do brazilians feel about elon musk and whether they see him as this kind of access between

politicians and celebrities. they have made headlines of the most important newspapers and resources yesterday. news that have been attracting a lot of attention in brazil. brazil has attention in brazil. brazil has at least 21 million x users so when we talk about roughly 10% of brazil's population. usually people, there has been initially immigration towards different social networks. today for example blue sky, another social network, reported it gained more than i million brazilian users in the last two days because of this crisis involving x recently. when it comes to help —— help resiliency elon musk at the moment, it depends on the

political spectrum. 0n the right elon musk is seen as being close to brazil's former president. he came to brazil in 2022 2p visit to brazil, event brazilian president. but then on the left ill musk has not been seen as a good bigger, seen as the one enabling this misinformation in the social network. ~ ., misinformation in the social network. ~ . ., misinformation in the social network-— network. we have about 30 seconds left _ network. we have about 30 seconds left any _ network. we have about 30 seconds left any chance - network. we have about 30 seconds left any chance of. network. we have about 30| seconds left any chance of it being reinstated? ihla seconds left any chance of it being reinstated? no indication it is auoin being reinstated? no indication it is going to — being reinstated? no indication it is going to happen _ being reinstated? no indication it is going to happen in - being reinstated? no indication it is going to happen in the - it is going to happen in the next few days. the situation can change rapidly. there is no indication elon musk is going to step back and comply with supreme court orders. if something like that doesn't happen, the supreme court will have no other reason to reverse its strong ruling.

an american football player has been shot during a robbery attempt in san francisco, california. ricky pearsall is said to be in stable condition after he was shot in union square in san francisco. local media reports the suspect is in custody. pearsall is entering his first nfl season; he was taken by the san francisco 49ers in the first round of the draft earlier this year. several of mr pearsall�*s teammates have posted on x about the incident. his fellow wide receiver deebo samuel saying: let's turn to some other important news around the world. seven people, including a six—year—old and a 16—year—old, were killed when a bus overturned east of vicksburg, mississippi, early saturday. the two children were siblings, according to a local coroner. police say 37 passengers were also hurt in the crash. at least six people are dead injapan as typhoon shanshan lashes the country with torrential rain, triggering landslides

and flood warnings. emergency management officials said one person was missing, and more than 100 have been hurt. researchers say they believe a drug used to treat obesity and type—2 diabetes could also help people with certain health conditions to live longer. studies on the effectiveness of semaglutide — which is sold under the brand names 0zempic, and wegovy — found the drug could be used to treat a wide range of illnesses linked to heart failure and even cancer. all oasis tickets in the uk and ireland have now sold out, according to the band. it comes after the advertising standards authority in the uk had earlier said quoted ticket prices must not mislead, after fans of oasis complained about the hike in cost of some tickets for the band's reunion tour. tens of thousands of people spent hours waiting in a queue on provider websites. some standing tickets advertised at 135 pounds — or about $175 — were being priced as high as 355 pounds — that's more than $460.

provider ticketmaster says it doesn't set prices. here's our culture reporter noor nanji. it's the day that many dreamed of, a chance to see 0asis live once more. but hundreds of people have been left feeling frustrated. you would have thought that with today's technology that they could handle the amount of demand, but clearly they can't and these websites, the apps just crash, but it's the lack of information. you're just guessing what's happened. fans have also been venting their anger at so—called in demand pricing on ticketmaster which resulted in a hike to some prices. ticketmaster says it does not set ticket prices. meanwhile, tickets on resale websites were listed at inflated prices.

0asis said those tickets would be cancelled. rachel from devon said... while kate from huddersfield said... here's one who got lucky, though. a big group of us that were high school friends and massive 0asis fans, we're all sat on a whatsapp chat this this morning, brought out phones, ipads, laptops, refreshing like mad. and it was actually one of my friends who was on holiday in spain who managed to get the tickets in the end. you might be struggling to understand why a band from the �*90s has sent so many people into a frenzy, but 0asis was always about so much more than just the music. it's about the attitude, the swagger, and even the haircuts. # you've gotta roll with it # you've gotta take your time # you've got to say what you say

# don't let anybody get in your way...# more dates could still be added to the tour, so if you've not been lucky this time, there could be more chances later down the line. noor nanji, bbc news, manchester. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. according to meteorologists, saturday, 31st of august was the last day of summer. how did we get on? well, across most of the country, we had these lovely sunny skies and it felt quite nice in the sunshine, given light winds. however, across southern areas of england and to a degree the far south of wales, we had a lot of cloud. and talking about cloud, tatest satellite picture shows a complex of thunderstorms forming across west france. low pressure is forming here, and that's ultimately going to drag in some increasingly humid air from belgium, netherlands, luxembourg, move it into the uk and that will set the scene for some thundery downpours, i think later on sunday and into sunday night. for the time being, though, it's relatively quiet out and about.

you could see an odd spit of rain falling from the cloud as it advances across northern areas of england. it will turn a bit cloudy across parts of scotland and northern ireland through the day, but still bright or sunny spells here. the cloud thinning and breaking across england and wales, and as that increasingly humid air gets drawn in, that sets the scene for one or two thunderstorms to pop up into the afternoon. and, to be honest, they could be just about anywhere. i'm sure most places in england and wales will stay dry, but where those storms happen could bring heavy enough rain to cause some localised surface water flooding. and the same sort of thing goes on through sunday night as well. a few random storms popping up, with outbreaks of rain moving into western areas. 0n into monday's forecast, well, we still got that humid air down at the earth's surface, but at higher elevations in the atmosphere, the air is starting to cool down, so that makes the air increasingly unstable. in other words, monday you're much more likely to see heavy, thundery showers or even some lengthy outbreaks of rain around on monday. some of it could be heavy enough to cause one or two problems.

still humid air around, particularly across the eastern half of england with temperatures up to 26. the fresher air across western portions of the uk. 0n into tuesday, it's another rather showery day. again, some of those showers could be quite heavy, maybe thundery and potentially slow moving. so again, one or two issues possible, but it won't be raining all day everywhere, of course not, there will be some pleasant spells of sunshine breaking through the clouds at times. temperatures for most 18 to 23, and then later into the week we may well see rain or thundery showers tend to become confined to southern areas of england, with the weather tending to become drier with more sunshine across northern portions of the uk. bye for now.

voice-over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. did she believe that she was being recorded at that time? probably. and then...click. there was no "goodbye" or "you're a scumbag" — just click, gone.
