european airports re—introduce carry—on liquid restrictions. hello i'm samantha simmonds. the israeli trade union federation has ordered a general strike for monday in an effort to force the government to reach a hostage release deal with hamas. the industrial action will see ben gurion airport — the busiest in israel — closed to take—offs and landings from 8am local time. the families of hostages had pushed for the strike after the israeli army found the bodies of six hostages in a tunnel in rafah. the military said they were killed by hamas shortly before troops arrived. a hamas official denied this, saying they were killed by israeli fire. thousands of israelis have been protesting in jerusalem and tel aviv in an effort to put pressure on the israeli government to bring

the remaining hostages home. the funerals for some of the hostages have been held. these pictures are from ra'anana, just north of tel aviv, where a service was held for almog sarusi. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, blamed hamas leaders for the killings, saying they showed hamas did not want a deal. the opposition leader yair lapid accused mr netanyahu of deciding not to save the hostages. jon donnison reports from jerusalem on what we know about the israeli hostages. six more dead israeli hostages in gaza. carmel gat, who was a0. alexander lobanov, 32. almog sarusi, aged 27. eden yerushalmi, 24. ori danino, who was 25. and the youngest, hersh goldberg—polin, just 23, who was also an american citizen. with broken hearts, the goldberg—polin family

is devastated to announce the death of their son and brother, hersh. they thank you all for your love and support and ask for privacy at this time. just a few days ago, his mother, rachel, had called for his release. hersh, we are working day and night and we will never stop. but she will never see her only son alive again. israel's military says the six bodies were found in a tunnel under rafah in the south of gaza. its chief spokesperson, daniel hagari, said they had recently been brutally murdered by hamas. the islamist group today denied that, saying they were killed in israeli strikes. but in a video statement, israel's prime minister was clear who he thought was to blame. "we saw the unimaginable cruelty of the hamas killers on the 7th of october, and we saw it again

in the tunnels under rafah." but mr netanyahu is under pressure. last night, there again were protests from hostage families and clashes with police. they say the israeli leader is putting his own personal political ambitions ahead of securing a ceasefire and hostage release deal, and that he has the blood on his hands. meanwhile, in gaza, a rare bit of positive news on the humanitarian front. a mass polio vaccination programme for hundreds of thousands of children has begun, with area—specific pauses in fighting. but it is a long way from the comprehensive ceasefire deal that diplomats have been pushing forfor months. john denison, bbc news, jerusalem. the head of israel's labour union federation urged people

writing on x, kamala harris spoke about the hostage, we just spoke to his parents to express our condolences following a brutal murder of her �*s son by a mysterious. i told them as they mourn their terrible loss they are not alone, our nation mourns with them. that's on x from kamala harris, having spoken to the parents of her she goldberg poland. the head of israel's labour union federation urged people to join the strike on monday. translation: | call on the i people of israel to take to the streets this evening, tomorrow, leave the workplaces. i call on all economic organisations in the state of israel, everyone, tojoin the strike. tomorrow we must shout the cry of our beloved country. we must raise the cry

of our hostages. iour i our displays, are dead. life must be returned to normal. the protesters injerusalem are furious that more hostages to protest, to demand a deal that symbolic coffins, six coffins marking the deaths of those hostages in the last 48 hours or so, it is believed, israel saying they were killed in the tunnels under rafah by hamas, and many people out on the streets, families, friends, relatives, ordinary israeli citizens holding demonstrations in tel aviv and other parts of the country, urging the government to reach a deal with hamas, to release those still held hostage in gaza. it's believed more than 100 israel and other nationalities are being held in gaza still, it's not known how many are alive but they want all of those alive or dead to be brought

back. the protesters injerusalem are furious that more hostages have been killed. this morning we are grieving the death of six hostages. they should have come back alive, they could have come back alive. we need a deal now. they need to come back alive. jonathan dekel—chen is the father of sagui, one of the hostages still held by hamas. he told my colleague martine croxall that he wanted a ceasefire and a hostage deal. both prime minister netanyahu and yahya sinwar have to put aside these narratives that clearly, clearly do not reflect the reality on the ground, and they need to put aside their own political or ideological agendas, whatever those are, and to work quickly and efficiently to arrive at a ceasefire and a hostage deal for the good of their peoples, until both of them

decide that their own political future or ideological messianism is less important, is less important than the security of their own people, and in the case of israel, the solidarity of israeli society. we won't get very far. i want to talk about your son, sagui, who's 35. what word have you had over the last ten months of where he might be? well, sagui actually is now 36. he had his 36th birthday a couple of weeks ago in, we imagine, a horrific terror tunnel underneath gaza somewhere. and the only sign of life that we have received came back in late november or early december. keep in mind, it's important for your viewers to know this. no, hamas is not allowed red cross or any other international national agency to visit with the hostages. so we have no way of knowing what their condition might be.

those who are still alive. we know that in late november or early december, sagui was still alive through the testimony of a some women and teenagers who were released in the first round of negotiated agreement between israel and hamas that brought some hostages home. they encountered sagui and many other people from men, mostly from my kibbutz, in the tunnels under gaza before they were released. but since that time, since early december, we simply do not know what has become of sergei. we simply do not know what has become of sagui. how do you cope? i get up every morning with difficulty. and rememberthat, um, my mission is to get my son, my little 36—year—old guy, back to his three little daughters and to return the 29, um, hostages from my kibbutz,

from my very close—knit community, those who might still be alive and those who need to be reunited after being murdered, reunited with their loved ones. um, that is, is the most crucial thing that i can possibly do. and that is what keeps me going. the first full day of a mass polio vaccination programme in gaza has taken place. israel and hamas have agreed to a series of limited pauses in fighting so the scheme can proceed safely. the world health organization says at least 90% of children under ten will need to be vaccinated for the campaign to succeed. the roll—out was organised after a ten—month—old baby was partly paralysed by the first case of the virus in gaza in a quarter of a century. healthcare workers hoping to vaccinate 640,000 children under the age of ten against polio over the course of the next few days. the world health organization has approved the release of 1.6 million doses of the polio vaccine the roll—out will take

place in several phases to the 5th of september. i am joined now by sam rose, the senior deputy director of unrwa affairs in gaza. welcome to you, good heavy on the programme.— the programme. how was the roll-out today? _ the programme. how was the roll-out today? the _ the programme. how was the roll-out today? the roll-out i roll—out today? the roll—out has gone well today, certainly as well as can be expected. it started a long time ago in terms of preparations, but our clinics opened, they were do to open this morning at eight o'clock. many of them opened earlier than that because the crowds of people outside were waiting to to get in and we estimated numbers of people, children under ten were vaccinated today, from what i could see, i went to unrwa clinics, i went to shelters, unrwa schools where people were speed is seeking refuge for the past several months, we can see orderly queues, small children

with their parents, waiting for their vaccinations. we don't have the numbers yet in terms of how many children today, we estimate in the tens of thousand but there's a long way to go. thousand but there's a long way to no. . thousand but there's a long way to 0. ., ., thousand but there's a long way to no. ., .,, ., ., to go. yeah, i was going to sa , to go. yeah, i was going to say. 640.000 _ to go. yeah, i was going to say, 640,000 over- to go. yeah, i was going to say, 640,000 over the - to go. yeah, i was going to i say, 640,000 over the course to go. yeah, i was going to - say, 640,000 over the course of six days, what's the confidence in achieving this in that timeframe?— in achieving this in that timeframe? ~ ., ., .,~ , timeframe? we have to make this work. timeframe? we have to make this work- today _ timeframe? we have to make this work. today was _ timeframe? we have to make this work. today was a _ timeframe? we have to make this work. today was a start, - timeframe? we have to make this work. today was a start, it - work. today was a start, it allows us to adjust. tomorrow we'll get more difficult because we start tomorrow vaccinating children outside of the self—declared safe zones. the fighting ceased today, there was an eerie quiet on the streets at six o'clock this morning, a sense of respite, but in the past few minutes i've heard more bombs. tomorrow will have to venture into areas that are not subject to this pause in hostility, that means our staff have to get there come a several hundred staff involved, in administering vaccines but more importantly the parents and their children and that idea that you take

your infant child to a vaccination when you're being bombed, when you're in fear of your life, it's a, you know, an impossible dilemma and we got notjust this area of gaza, we've got to complete over the next four days, we will then move to southern gaza and the more difficult part in the north where overall population numbers are somewhat unknown, unknown everywhere in many ways because we don't know how precisely many children there are, many thousands we believe buried under the rubble. we are committed and i want to pay tribute to all the staff involved, all the health professionals working day and night to get the first day of the campaign off to a and are you confident that this will work, that is being done quickly enough to prevent further cases of polio? we are doing it as quickly as we can. it was in some ways a shock but the first case re—emerged and was confirmed a few weeks ago, but in other ways it's

inevitable given the circumstances in which people are living. 0ur circumstances in which people are living. our whole health system that's been estimated, 90% of the population relocated, displaced, many hundreds of thousands have lost their homes, living among seaweeds, amongst garbage with no water, suppressed immune systems and malnourished, it was absolutely inevitable, sadly, that this or something like it that would break out and the children who were vaccinated today, they've gone back to those same tents so we may, we hope we will be able to protect them from polio, we are confident of that, but if it's not polio it will be something else until there is an end to this war, until the hostages are released and so people can pick up the pieces. h0??? are released and so people can pick up the pieces. how quickly does the vaccination _ pick up the pieces. how quickly does the vaccination actually i does the vaccination actually workedwe need to do it one day now and we've got four days in three zones of gaza, so essentially a 12 day period. then to get full immunity we

have to do a second phase of vaccinations in four weeks' time. will have to go again for the same process of coordinating vaccines into gaza, the movement of them around and critically, these pauses so that the parents can reach the centre and people can get there to administer the vaccines. and it can spread very, very quickly and it has lifelong consequences, not necessarily death but paralysis, loss of movement and really, really limited life prospects for those who can track it, particularly in an environment where the health system has been so affected, so decimated over the past several months. so the prospect for anyone getting it are really, really dire. anyone getting it are really, really dire-— anyone getting it are really, reall dire. ., really dire. sam rose, you for bein: really dire. sam rose, you for being with _ really dire. sam rose, you for being with us _ really dire. sam rose, you for being with us and _ really dire. sam rose, you for being with us and taking - really dire. sam rose, you for being with us and taking us i being with us and taking us through that, thank you. exit polls suggest the far right alternative for germany is on course to win a state election for the first time.

it appears afd has won the most votes in thuringia, but is unlikely to be able to form a govenrment. the party is anti—immigration, wants to replace the euro with the deutschmark and opposes the national government's approach to the war in ukraine and climate change. it is predicted to win around 33% of the vote in thuringia. let's speak to our correspondent in berlin, damien mcguinness. tell us more about what the afd are and what this result could mean? �* , ., , ., mean? the afd, it was founded as a euro _ mean? the afd, it was founded as a euro sceptic _ mean? the afd, it was founded as a euro sceptic party - mean? the afd, it was founded as a euro sceptic party has - as a euro sceptic party has been increasingly radical and has morphed into what i think you just described today as a right we extremist party. certainly in thuringia and saxony, in thuringia in particular, we are legally to call him a fascist on—air and in print, this is a party that has an explicit aim of

undermining the democratic system in germany so it's an extremely radical force, extremely radical force, extremely popular in some parts of eastern germany particularly in depopulated rural areas. not popular in the city centres which are doing well in eastern germany, but overall what we've seen today is according to the latest predictions for these holes, these regional elections which are very important because they run things like education, transport, the budget, a very important for people living there. it looks like the far right afd has one the most votes in thuringia, that the first. it's the first time that the far right has won a regional election, but it doesn't mean that they will get into government. that's because this party is so toxic that no other party will work with it. of course because now it has 30 seats in parliament he can do a lot, including possibly blocking budgets being passed. it can also really change the political mood and that's what we've seen across germany. the afd rhetoric since it entered

the national parliament in 2017 has become increasingly radical and increasingly anti—migrant. that has influenced mainstream parties which have also, in order to fight the afd and to win back voters who are being tempted by the afd, they are also increasingly radical on their talk in my grayson. what we are seeing is tonight the afd polymerfor we are seeing is tonight the afd polymer for old we are seeing is tonight the afd polymerfor old political force in eastern germany but also a powerful force to affect mainstream parliaments across germany, even how it comes to how different parties view politics. how different parties view olitics. ~ , ., �* how different parties view olitics. ~ �* , ., politics. when you've been out on the streets _ politics. when you've been out on the streets talking - politics. when you've been out on the streets talking to - on the streets talking to voters, what did they say the appeal to them is of this far—right party? i appeal to them is of this far-right party?- appeal to them is of this far-right party? i think the main thing _ far-right party? i think the main thing that _ far-right party? i think the main thing that we're - far-right party? i think the i main thing that we're seeing right now is that people want to give the national government in berlin a kick in. that's because this is a quite uncomfortable, quite

argumentative three way coalition in three different directions. numerous crises, had to pivot away from russian gas, it suddenly is massively obstinate, overturned its traditional policy when it comes to weapons, defence, russia, also to things connected to the war in ukraine, energy policy has been turned upside down, all of that has had a massive effect on people �*s lives. it's also made governing very difficult. the governing very difficult. the governing parties in berlin, really all of germany, have not agreed on all those policies. and what's now happened in these regional elections, particularly in germany, people want to give berlin a signal. lots of things that people been talking about, the politicians in eastern germany and been talking about another things you usually talk about in a regional election, such as education. they've been talking about defence policy, talking to russia instead is sending weapons to ukraine, the difficulty is when it comes to a lot because michael governing coalition say for example when it comes to the war in ukraine,

that if 50% of the people in thuringia, for example, between no seems to be the case, voted for a populist party, either on the far left orfar for a populist party, either on the far left or far right who are against sending weapons to ukraine. that's a big signal to berlin. it's policies like this which are been increasingly talked about across germany and that's why these regional elections... nationally not just regionally. elections. .. nationally not just regionally.— elections... nationally not just regionally. damon, thank ou, for just regionally. damon, thank you. for nova _ russia's defence ministry says it has repelled what it described as a "massive" ukrainian drone attack across 14 regions and the capital, moscow, that targeted energy and fuel plants. while inside ukraine, one man was pulled alive from rubble, following a russian attack on kharkiv. at least 41 people were injured. the governor said the attack targeted civilian infrastructure, including a large sports centre, a shopping centre and a park area. airports in the european union and other schengen—zone countries — which had scrapped 100 millilitre liquid

limits for hand luggage — have been told they must put the restrictions back in place from today. the european commission said it's a temporary measure to address a technical issue with new equipment — but it's not said how long it will remain in place. here's our transport correspondent, katy austin. for a while, it looked like the era of the tiny toiletry was nearly over. all major airports in the uk were told to put in new state—of—the—art scanners. they would allow the 100ml limit on liquid containers going through security and cabin bags to be lifted. put your tray underneath! there have been delays getting the kit in place at the biggest hubs, but some regional ones had fully installed it beforejune this year and dropped the old rules. then, injune, the government suddenly announced the 100ml restriction was back. it's given no date for scrapping it again. now, any eu airports which had moved over to the new scanners are also having to revert to the old limit. the european commission says a technical issue with the equipment needs sorting. the big issue we've got now is there is real lack

of clarity for consumers. so, we've seen in the busy periods when people are travelling, the confusion that entails when people are really not sure of what the process is now when they're travelling with liquids. and we have real disparity not only across uk airports, but also across the eu as well. rome and amsterdam are among the locations which had brought in the high—tech scanning machines. some others had started rolling them out. it's a very mixed picture, but what's for sure is that any which had got the scanners in place and eased their rules are now having to revert to 100ml. as with the uk, the eu has given no indication of when the restrictions will end. katy austin, bbc news. it's not unusual to see pop stars surrounded by bodyguards, but a historical site with links to harry styles has become so popular, it now requires its own security arrangements. fans travel from all over the world to scratch messages onto an 183—year—old viaduct in the musician's home

county of cheshire. 0ur reporter lindsey prosser has been finding out how the structure is being protected. he is a global pop star from a village in cheshire. under a viaduct near his home, fans from around the world including denver, colorado, come to write messages of love to harry styles. i feel like if you're a fan you know about it and so it's become this really big thing that everybody wants to come and see. it means a lot to everybody because everything written on right is very nice, like i love you, we love you, everything is so happy. we've been fans since 2011 and we were friends because of one direction, we met freshman year of high school, we were both... we found out that we were living friends ever since. here, we planned a trip to london and then we were all

of the uk, we had to see the wall of course. it is something that we wanted to do a whole lives. the viaduct is so important as harry used to come here with his girlfriend and it's here that he had his first kiss. he wrote his name and ever since then people have - been writing on the wall| and everything like that. it's been great. people feel a connection here, were notjust fans, we are, we make some new friends it's so incredible. i can't explain what it's like. we couldn't find his signature but that doesn't deter the fans. there are thousands of messages, but the brickwork is being damaged. network rail have put up poles for fans to write on. they come messages in support of harry however some things they use damages the brickwork and people are taking breaks out or report about which damages the structure. we don't want that. so, we created this wall for people to leave messages

on in a safe environment. where he once walked, organised tours of fans has along the same path. in just a short space of time, these wars have of time, these walls have started to fill it. it is clear that network rail are going to have to add more. i was like oh my gosh! i shed a tear. i cried a little when i got here. seen it in person, that it's like actually real. that is devotion, isn't it? finally, some news from the venice film festival. brad pitt and angelina jolie narrowly avoided running into each other in the lagoon city. pitt made an appearance today with his long—time pal george clooney — promoting their new action film wolves. meanwhile, jolie had attended the festival a few days earlier for the premiere of her biopic maria — and left immediately. the pair are locked in a bitter divorce and organisers of the fesitival made sure

they would not cross paths. i'm not sure how close a miss a few days is, but there you go, good opportunity to see the couple there. stay with us here on bbc news, thanks for watching. hello there! the weekend weather has been pretty decent for most of us. it has been dry, we saw more sunshine on saturday. lots of cloud around today, apart from the south—east which was very warm, humid and sunny. as we head into monday, though, low pressure across the country will spark off more showers and thunderstorms, and with a humid air mass still in place, some of these downpours could be quite intense. you can see that humid air mass pretty much across the whole of the uk, and it will continue to be quite warm, so a muggy night to come again tonight. we'll see showers and thunderstorms through central, northern and eastern areas push their way northwards. there will be some drier weather around, particularly towards the southeast. and again it's going to be warm and muggy across the board — mid—teens for many, the high teens across the southeast. so into monday then we've got

low pressure across the uk and its weather fronts. we could see showers, thunderstorms through central, northern and eastern parts of england pushing up in towards scotland. as we move into the latter part of the day and sunshine will be limited, so not as warm in the southeast. what we've had today 24—25 degrees, high teens, low 20s further north where we have more cloud in the showers. those showers and thunderstorms rattle their way northwards and eastwards during monday night, but we could see further showers, maybe some thunderstorms as parts of the midlands, wales and southern england as well, but some clearer skies developing for scotland and northern ireland by the end of monday night. so here, turning a bit cooler, temperatures back into single digits, but another warm and muggy one i think, for large parts of england and wales. now some changes as we head into tuesday. this area of high pressure begins to exert its force from the atlantic, that will try and push these weather fronts out of the way, but we'll have a couple of weather fronts around — this one, draped across scotland and northern ireland could bring some showers and another one in towards the east

and south—east of england. that could also spark off some showers, maybe some heavy thundery ones. in between, maybe some good spells of sunshine around. so quite a mixed day on tuesday and cooler and fresher across the board. we're losing the humidity now with the westerly breeze, 17 to 22 degrees. it does look like that area of high pressure exerts its force across the uk as we move deeper into the new week, but there'll be weather fronts close by to the north and also across the south. this area of low pressure over the near continent could contain further thundery downpours, so generally it will settle down as we move through the week. best of any drier and brighter weather in the north and west. there's still the chance of some heavy showers across southern areas. take care.

this is bbc news. the headlines... protests erupt in israel after the bodies of six hostages are recovered from gaza. the trades union federation calls a strike for monday to press the government to reach a deal with hamas. the first full day of a mass polio vaccination programme in gaza is hailed a success by humanitarian agencies. they aim to immunise more than 600,000 children under the age of ten. exit polls from eastern germany suggest the far right afd party is on course to win a state election for the first time — but is unlikely to be able to form a government. airports in nearly 30 european countries which had scrapped
