and roll out the red carpet. as the movie awards season begins we report from the telluride film festival in colorado's rocky mountains. 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. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson reports from jerusalem. hamas would protect them as assets, the argument went. these younger, fitter hostages were the ones who would survive. instead, israel's army says they were shot by hamas in a tunnel under rafa as israeli forces battled above them. almog sarusi. alexander lobanov. ori danino. eden yerushalmi, whose last

words to her sister were, "they've caught me. " carmel gat, a therapist, was described by other hostages as their guardian angel. and hersh goldberg—polin, a 23—year—old us—israeli citizen. his last living moments in israel captured translation: while israel is conducting intensive - negotiations with the mediators in a supreme effort to reach a deal, hamas continues to firmly refuse any offer. he who murders hostages does not want a deal. a red flag at the protest today. a message to the prime minister. the last red line has been crossed. hostages were dying, they said, as a direct result of the prime minister's failure to sign a deal. outside mr netanyahu's office today they've being shouting "murderer". many people here think he simply doesn't want a deal.

the region does not go quiet for long enough to retrieve messages. the fighting did not stop in gaza today. the nine—day vaccine programme delivered by the un. the discovery of gaza's worst case of polio in 25 years —— first case of polio in 25 years. thank god they've agreed on this, but we hope the war stops completely but notjust for a couple of days, we suffered a lot. is this man was buried today, new protests were born.

israel's labour union called a today, new protests were born. israel's labour union called a general strike tomorrow to general strike tomorrow to press for a cease—fire deal, press for a cease—fire deal, benjamin netanyahu is being benjamin netanyahu is being confronted with a choice in confronted with a choice in gaza or were at home. lucy gaza or were at home. lucy williamson, bbc news, williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. the head of israel's trade jerusalem. the head of israel's trade union federation urged people union federation urged people to join the strike on monday. to join the strike on monday. translation: | call on the i translation: | call on the i people of israel to take to the people of israel to take to the streets this evening, tomorrow, streets this evening, tomorrow, leave their workplaces. leave their workplaces. i call on all economic i call on all economic organisations in the state of organisations in the state of israel — everyone — israel — everyone — tojoin the strike. tojoin the strike. tomorrow we must shout the cry tomorrow we must shout the cry of our beloved country. of our beloved country. we must raise the cry we must raise the cry of our hostages, of our hostages, our displaced, our dead. our displaced, our dead. the state of israel must the state of israel must be returned to normal. be returned to normal. the protesters injerusalem the protesters injerusalem are furious that more are furious that more hostages have been killed. hostages have been killed. this morning we are grieving. this morning we are grieving. we are grieving the death we are grieving the death of six hostages. of six hostages. they should have come they should have come back alive, they could back alive, they could

have come back alive. have come back alive. we need a deal now. 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. he 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

the first full day of a mass polio vaccination programme in gaza has been completed. israel and hamas agreed to a series of limited pauses in fighting so the scheme could 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 from the first to the fifth of september the campaign will be split across the territory's five governates, from north gaza through to rafah in the south. deir al balah and khan younis have the greatest number

of children under ten — more than 200,000 in each region. the who plans on having more than 200 vaccination sites in each of those regions. sam rose is the senior deputy director of unrwa affairs in gaza. hejoined us from deir al—balah and said the first full day was succesful but monday may be more challenging. the roll—out has gone well. certainly as well as can be expected, it started well. it started a long time ago in terms of preparations. but our clinics opened, they were due to open this morning at 8:00. many of them opened earlier than that because the crowds of people outside were waiting to to get in. and we estimate tens of thousands of people of children under ten were vaccinated today. from what i could see, i went unrwa clinics. i went to shelters, which are unwra schools where,

where, where people have been seeking refuge for the past several months and we could 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 we reached today. as i say, we estimate in the tens of thousands. but there's a long, long way to go. yeah, i was going to say 640,000 over the course of a few days. that's the aim. how confident are you that it can be achieved in that time frame? we have to make this work. will i mea, today was was a start. it allows us to adjust. tomorrow will get more difficult because we start tomorrow vaccinating children outside of these self—declared safe zones. now the fighting ceased today, there was an eerie quiet on the streets at 6:00 this morning. a sense of respite. but just the past few minutes i've heard more bombs. tomorrow we'll have to venture in to areas that are not subject to this, to this pause in hostilities. that means our staff have to get there.

several hundred staff involved in administering the vaccines, but more importantly, the parents and their children. and the idea that you take your infant child to a vaccination when you're being bombed, when you're in fear of your life is, i mean, it's a, you know, an impossible dilemma. and we've got notjust this area of gaza we've got to complete, over the next four days, will then move to southern gaza. and then more difficult part in the north, where overall population numbers are somewhat somewhat unknown. they're unknown everywhere in many ways, because we don't know precisely how many children are here. many thousands, we believe, buried under the rubble. but we are committed as a system. i want to pay tribute to all the staff who have been involved in it, all the health professionals working day and night to get the first day of the campaign off to a success. 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. 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 about 33% of the vote in thuringia. let's speak to our correspondent in berlin, damien mcguinness. hi, good to see you. tell us what this result means. well, it's a first. — what this result means. well, it's a first, really. _ what this result means. well, it's a first, really. this - what this result means. well, it's a first, really. this is - it's a first, really. this is an historic win for the far right asd, the first time they've ever won the most votes in a regional election. the regional parliaments are important because they run

things like schools, public transport, and what we are saying is even though the aft is probably not going to get into government because this is a party that so radical, so toxic, no other party will work for them. toxic, no other party will work forthem. if toxic, no other party will work for them. if they've got a third of the votes in parliament they can block a lot of things. they can really make it problematic and difficult to pass a budget for example. you'll see a lot of problems in that region, and that's going to have an impact across germany as well. it's also going to make forming a coalition government in that region a particularly difficult because you're going to have all sorts of difficult combinations between three, possibly even for parties who don't agree with each other so it makes german politics overall a little bit less stable. and that's going to have an impact because germany is already, politically, not in a great place. there's national government is a three way coalition, it's very argumentative. the three parties don't really agree with each other on lots of things, and that's one of the reasons why the asd is done so well because what voters have been doing in eastern germany really, is punishing the

national government and berlin who they feel it is not coping well with the crises of germany has been going through over the last few years. has been going through over the last few yew-— last few years. how reflective of national — last few years. how reflective of national sentiment - last few years. how reflective of national sentiment do - last few years. how reflective of national sentiment do you | of national sentiment do you think support for the asd in this election is? fin think support for the asd in this election is?— this election is? on the one hand you've _ this election is? on the one hand you've got _ this election is? on the one hand you've got specific - this election is? on the one i hand you've got specific issues in eastern germany, to deal with eastern germany's dressing history come after reunification, there was mass unemployment, so you have a whole generation that experienced it. economically eastern germany is doing pretty well and i think that's a puzzle for some people because i think sometimes people will say, well, people vote for the far right because they are feeling economically insecure, in fact i think what a lot of people here in it's a sort of scarring from previous generations of not wanting to lose what they already have, so there's that heritage, but of course across germany, there is a move towards a more right—wing way of thinking, particularly when it comes to

migration. so what we've seen is a very radical and quite extreme rhetoric from the afd has impacted mainstream politics and centrist parties who are also note talking very tough on migration. the more radical of the aft becomes first of all the conservatives talk tough on the issues that the afd is talking about, and other mainstream party start as well. it is having a an impact on national political discourse across germany.— on national political discourse across germany. damien, thank ou. the labour mp who's the biggest landlord in the house of commons has sacked the agency that manages his rental flats — after a bbc investigation found black mould and ant infestations in some of the properties. jas athwal, who was elected mp for ilford south injuly, said his tenants had been �*let down�*, and he pledged that repairs and maintenance work would be completed swiftly. with me is our political investigations correspondent joe pike, who uncovered the story. how embarrassing is this for him? i

how embarrassing is this for him? ~ �* , , , him? i think it's deeply embarrassing, - him? i think it's deeply i embarrassing, samantha, him? i think it's deeply - embarrassing, samantha, but in particular because he spent a decade as a leader of the council, his whole legacy from that. he claimed was action on housing, he said he would tackle rogue landlords. it's also perhaps important to point out that his language and position has developed, evolved over the last couple of days. initially when we contacted him he was bullish and defensive, now he says he's shocked and sorry and the man, the agent he has dismissed today, raymond williams, was the man that he said just three days ago was selected for his excellent customer service, this is the same age and attendant toll me he threatened them with eviction if they either complained or started claiming benefits, and it's the same man who was tipped off earlier this week about my visit to this set of flats in east london and who then move while he was there, started calling some of the

residents to me at least, that appear to be intimidating behaviour. i've been in touch with ms. williams today, he told me he's not commenting at this time. —— mr williams. behind a shot, quite sort of cramped flats with black mould and infestations. the fire alarm hanging from the roof with you know, dirty communal areas and lights not working. he is actually visited them in person today to apologise in person, trying work out what he can do and do fast and he is also, samantha, said that he will reimburse them for any out—of—pocket repairs that they've had to undertake in recent months.— they've had to undertake in recent months. the snp leader, john swinney, has set out his priorities for the coming year in his address to his party's conference in edinburgh. the first minister said he wanted his government to end child poverty, reach net—zero targets, deliver strong public services and boost the economy. 0ur scotland editor, james cook, reports.

times are tough for the snp. after 17 years in power, it faces problems with high waiting lists, educational inequality and endemic poverty. butjohn swinney says scotland's real problem is london, where labour is making billions in cuts after promising an end to austerity. that is politics at its most cynical. a total breach of trust with all those who supported labour. a labour party that promised change is delivering more of the same. the same tory debt rule, the same tory cuts agenda. labour has not delivered change. labour is delivering the same damaging austerity as the tories. mr swinney said his government had expanded child care, ensured scots could afford university and made welfare payments to the poorest families. but after a thumping in the general election, he said the party must focus anew on why scotland should be independent,

not how it could happen. my promise to you is that i will make sure that independence is understood as the route to a stronger and a fairer country, understood not as nice to have, but as urgent and essential here and now. this speech was all about the battle for blame. critics of the snp say it must take responsibility for looming cuts to public services. butjohn swinney is trying to pin the blame on both the conservatives and labour in less than two years. voters will give their verdict in the scottish parliamentary elections. james cook, bbc news, edinburgh. 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. and speaking of film festivals, we have some news from venice. 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 wolfs. jolie had attended the festival a few days earlier for the premiere of her bio—pic maria — and left immediately. she and pitt are locked

in a bitter divorce and organisers of the fesitival made sure they would not cross paths. 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. this weekend the movie awards season has been getting under way with major film festivals in venice and colorado — and in a few days, toronto, too. these festivals traditionally launch films that feature in the oscars race. the telluride film festival high up in the colorado rocky mountains has a strong record of showcasing films which go on to win a best picture academy award. let's cross live now

to tom brook — the host of talking movies. he's live for us at telluride. hi, tom, good to see you. a lot of excitement there, what are people talking about, which films? ~ films? well, telluride film festival. — films? well, telluride film festival, we _ films? well, telluride film festival, we are _ films? well, telluride film festival, we are high - films? well, telluride film festival, we are high up. films? well, telluride film festival, we are high up in| films? well, telluride film. festival, we are high up in a small town in the colorado rocky mountains, but there are movie stars milling around and a lot of people here who really love films and they are talking about movies that could have towards momentum, one film that's got a lot of attention is called conclave. it's about what happens behind the scenes in the vatican when a new pope is elected. ralph finds is in charge of the process, and he gives an excellent performance. this british actor has made an impression over the years, he could be upped for an oscar

nomination. anotherfilm could be upped for an oscar nomination. another film that is also been making an impact here in colorado, as it did at the venice film festival a couple days ago is called maria. it's making an impact because it *, angelina jolie, is being praised for her portrayal of a late opera singers, celebrated opera singers, celebrated opera singer maria callas who died in the 1970s. forthe singer maria callas who died in the 1970s. for the sector, angelina jolie who is 49 years old right now, the right role at the right time and apparently she does a brilliant job. she was here yesterday, in venice she got a standing ovation which i believed lasted nine minutes which made her very emotional.— very emotional. just briefly tom. also _ very emotional. just briefly tom, also documentaries, | very emotional. just briefly - tom, also documentaries, people are talking about there. definitely. a lot of the documentaries are very contentious, dealing with social and political themes, the one i really like is called one to one. it's aboutjohn lennon and his early years in new york city when he arrived

in 1971 and 18 months that he spent living in downtown manhattan, it's got brilliant footage you haven't seen before in prisons lennon in a very nice light. in prisons lennon in a very nice light-— in prisons lennon in a very nice light. thank you, this is bbc news- _ nice light. thank you, this is bbc news. presents - nice light. thank you, this is| bbc news. presents lennon. 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 211—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 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.
