he said the move would embolden hamas, but the defence secretary john healey has defended the legaljudgment. it marks a shift in the uk's approach to the conflict from the positon held by the previous conservative government. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. from supporters of the israeli government, outrage. don'tabandon israel, they shouted outside of the foreign office this morning. earlier the uk chief rabbi had shared his own criticism. it beggars belief, he wrote, that the british government, a close strategic ally of israel, has announced a partial suspension of arms licenses, at a time when israel is fighting a war for its very survival. the defence secretary insisted the uk poz—mac broader support for is unchanged. we insisted the uk poz-mac broader support for is unchanged. we are a staunch ally _

arms export. this government did not see that. the previous comment continued those exports. the new advice that has been commissioned labour has acted upon, but it is only x —— suspended about 10% of the arms licences. while david lammy said there was in that advice a clear risk that the weapons might be used in serious violations of international humanitarian law, critics on the left, as you heard of there, saying, why aren't all weapons then being suspended? so, pressure on labour from that side. equally, as the gum and want to say it still stands by israel and is still backing israel and its right to defence, you get criticism from the right and from israel itself, saying this weakens that alliance, and the uk as a democracy should be standing with israel. the uk government on the question of the timing of it says this was a question of the mps coming back and it was the first opportunity to do so. but we are seeing a subtle and

important shift in the uk position. the uk has restored funding to the un agency supporting palestinian refugees, and here too we see a small shift from the government coming. damien, thank you. our diplomatic correspondentjames landale joins us from jerusalem. tell us about the response on israel to this decision? this tell us about the response on israel to this decision?— to this decision? this decision comes as _ to this decision? this decision comes as no _ to this decision? this decision comes as no surprise - to this decision? this decision comes as no surprise to - to this decision? this decision | comes as no surprise to israel. to this decision? this decision i comes as no surprise to israel. it has been on the cards for some time. it is a relatively modest restriction on arms sales. and as ministers have been bending over backwards to make clear, it will have very little material impact on israel's ability to defend itself. the initial response from as early ministers over night was one of disheartened and disappointed. but this morning suddenly a flurry of social media posts by the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, saying this decision was shameful and misguided, emphasising that british citizens had been killed and had been kidnapped by hamas, and saying

that that organisation will only be emboldened by this decision by the british government. so clearly israel and uk relations in a much rockier basis this morning. mr netanyahu making it clear that he wishes to push back very strongly against this decision. uk ministers insisting no, this was a legal decision, that it has to do, it has to make this assessment, but from now on i think there will certainly be cooler relations between london and here injerusalem, than there have been for some time. james, thank you. a major search and rescue is under way in the english channel after a boat carrying dozens of migrants capsized. a spokesperson for the french coastguard told french media that 50 people were being rescued. we're joined now by our paris correspondent, hugh schofield. what do we know at this stage? we know very little other than that there is a major search operation

under way. there is a major search operation underway. it there is a major search operation under way. it seems there was another of these embarkations, a rubber dinghy, went across with about 70 people on board. that is what local media are saying. it got into some difficulty this morning. what is certain is that there is a major operation under way. a section of the beach has been sealed off so helicopters can't land there. as for the scale of this, i freeze everything with a certain degree of kind of caution, but afp, the french news agency, says several people have died. the local newspaper says at least ten people have died. we have the bbc have not had any official confirmation. we expect to have more detail on the casualties very soon. thank you.

the ukrainian president called a telecommunications institute. this seems to be a facility used by the ukrainian military where they train to use communications on the battlefield. there are reports circulating online that it was hit while there were numerous cadets and members of the military on site. the ukrainian president also said that a neighbouring hospital was also damaged, and at least one building was partially destroyed. the defence ministry in kyiv also issued a statement saying it is an awful day in poltava, and the people on site, theyjust in poltava, and the people on site, they just didn't in poltava, and the people on site, theyjust didn't have time to evacuate and it was hit while they were on their way to the bomb shelter. numerous people were

trapped under the rubble. that is according to the ukrainian military, which also says that 25 people were rescued. investigations are still continuing. the ukrainian authorities are trying to establish how this could have happened at a time when ukraine is working so hard to improve its air defences. thank you. as you can see, you can follow that story on the bbc news website. our top story this afternoon. israel's prime minister says it's �*shameful�* that the uk is suspending some arms sales to his government. coming up on bbc news... a new era for wales football as manager craig bellamy gets his squad together for his first game in charge as they face turkey and montenegro in the nations league.

phone companies are to meet with the home office to discuss extra measures to tackle crime, after the number of snatch thefts of mobiles more than doubled in england and wales over the last year. the government say an increase in demand for second—hand smartphones is driving the rise, both in the uk and overseas. rowan bridge has the story. quick, blatant, lucrative, and traumatic for its victims. mobile phones are now the most stolen items in england and wales, according to the latest figures. police intelligence suggest the problem is being driven by demand for second—hand handsets in the uk and abroad. i was really, really upset, the fact that this has happened to me, you know, repeatedly over the past year, isjust showing how much this crime is increasing in volume, you know. it's gone from being something that wasn't so common,

to now, it's almost a day to day occurrence. lawrence is one of an estimated 200 people who are victims of snatch thefts every day. there were 78,000 phones or bags stolen in the year to march, but less than 1% of thefts resulted in a charge, and more than 80% were closed before a suspect was found. phones get blacklisted in the uk once they get reported stolen. however, they do work in some other countries. now if the criminals can get into the phone and then sell it off as a second—hand device, then they're good for that. but if they aren't able to get into the phone — for example, say the victim doesn't give up their apple id, for example — then some of the materials, the metals inside, can be sold off themselves, or as parts themselves, because they are worth so much money. phones like this already have some security features built in. facial recognition to gain access, or the ability to wipe them remotely. but now the government wants the phone makers and the tech companies to go further, to make them less attractive

to criminals to steal. those companies and manufacturers are to be called to a summit by the home office to look at what more can be done. how many of us really hand on heart know what to do if our phone is stolen? have we actually bothered to read what the mobile phone company will provide you with? probably not. it's a case of working with those companies to see, you know, if your phone is stolen, can it be shut down completely so it can't be resold? as well as reading the paper work, there are some other things you can do to stop your phone from being snatched. be aware of your surroundings when you're using a phone. when you're not using it, keep it out of sight and never leave it out on the table in an outdoor restaurant or cafe. all measures which could help stop you becoming one of the rising tide of victims of phone theft. rowan bridge, bbc news. two teenagers have been charged with murder after a 13—year—old

energy for the final lap and as they got into sprint mode on the bell, there was chaos on the track, a crash leaving two riders out of contention. kinghorn was in the mix as they went into the last 200 metres but her swiss opponent was too strong. a silver for kinghorn, her second of the games. great britain has excelled in para— equestrian previous games and in paris in the grand setting of versailles, natasha baker was aiming for her seventh gold. she had a year out of the saddle following the birth of her son and said the persistent rain in the city was her worst nightmare. the cold affects her disability. she was happy with a bronze medal and she credited it to the performance of her horse. in the pool there are more medal chances for gb tonight with several swimmers through to the final. faye rogers was an olympic hopeful in 2021, a

games. thank you so much. a reminder of our top headline this afternoon. a major search and rescue operation is launched after a boat carrying migrants capsizes in the english channel. and bbc analysis shows that 180 council—run libraries have closed or been handed over to volunteer groups in the past eight years. we ll have a full forecast in the next half hour, but let's get a quick look at the weather now. here's ben. thank you. a different feel to the weather today. thank you. a different feel to the weathertoday. let's thank you. a different feel to the weather today. let's look at some of the temperatures. 24 degrees in heathrow, glasgow is 14 with cooler air. that will sink south and east through today and into tomorrow. a mix of sunny spells and showers but fresh air will not last long and as we head towards the end of the week it looks like humid air will return

from the continent and without some rain especially in the south. i will have the full details for you in about 20 minutes. thank you. the prime minister has promised to "carefully consider" the final report from the public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire when it is be published tomorrow. seventy two people were killed in the blaze in west london in 2017, and more than seven years on the families of those who died say they're both hopeful and sceptical about what the landmark report will achieve. ayshea buksh reports. of the 72 people who died as a result of the grenfell tower fire 18 of them were children. among them jessica urbano ramirez, who was two weeks from her 13th birthday. she was from a big british south american family with roots in colombia. she was the youngest girl in the family and she was amazing. we won't know...

we won't know what she could have been because the world was all ahead of her. that has been taken away. the public inquiry heard how jessica's desperate call to 999 lasted for nearly an hour. heraunt, sandra ruiz, closely followed the inquiry and is anxious about what changes it can achieve in order to prevent another grenfell. i'm hopeful that the recommendations will be very clear and very strong. i'm hopeful that the government will listen, internalise and implement in as short a time as possible, because we've already had seven years of waiting for something to happen. um, i'm fearful that, as in previous governments, recommendations will be kicked down the line. and like many families and survivors

i've spoken to on and off camera, sandra is also weary of what the report could mean forjustice forjessica and the other victims of the fire. you know there will be... justice will not be complete without people serving prison sentences. and how hopeful are you that that report will lead to both of those, the avenue for prosecutions, but also that permanent, long lasting change? if it doesn't, it won't have served its purpose because seven years of parallel investigations between the inquiry and the cps and the police, if that doesn't reap those results, then why have we wasted all these millions of pounds? still to come on today's programme... the very first sikh action toys — made in coventry and being sold around the world. first, it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are.

hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm lizzie greenwood hughes. it's the start of the quarter finals in new york, butjust how far can britain's jack draper go at the us open? we'll be live in paris where there've been more medals already for paralympics gb on day six. and as the international break begins, craig bellamy is amongst the new managers meeting—up with their squads for the first time... for the first time... and the draw has really opened up more from the paralympics more from the paralympics to come injust a moment, to come injust a moment, but lets start in new york but lets start in new york because jack draper is already being because jack draper is already being called �*the new king of british called �*the new king of british tennis' after his sensational run tennis' after his sensational run to the quarter—finals in new york. they get under way this afternoon they get under way this afternoon and the draw has really opened up

with both carlos alcaraz and novak djokovic both out. but the headlines here have all been about the british number one — draper, who's now preparing to take on alex de minaur after reaching a grand slam last eight for the first time in his career. it's an achievement the 22—year—old says means "the world to him" after an emphatic straight sets victory over tomash ma—hach. draper, who's also a model, produced a brilliant display to beat the czech and become the first briton to reach the quarter—finals of the men's singles at the us open since andy murray in 2016.

there's still room for improvement and still room to hopefully go further in the tournament, so... really, really proud of that achievement, and hopefully i can do more. draper will now face the tenth seed australian alex de minaur with both men bidding to reach theirfirst grand slam semi—final. for de minaur, it's a third consecutive major last eight appearance. he beat fellow australian jordan thompson in four sets. and afterwards he confessed to feeling slightly awkward about beating one of his good friends, but says now he's fully focussed on taking on draper for a place in the semi's. i mean, do one for australia, do one for myself as well. look, i've played... i've played plenty of brits. it's never easy. ifeel a little bit of a hostile... in that country at the moment. but these are the type of matches i want to be playing.

i've worked so hard to put myself in this position throughout the years. the winner of that match though faces either the world number one jannik sinner or the former us open champion — daniil medvedev. they play their quarter—final tomorrow after sinner saw off the american tommy paul in three sets in front of a rowdy new york crowd in the night session. the pair are the only grand slam champions remaining in the men's singles draw, and it's a rematch of this year's australian open final. it was a tough match. it started off not so good, it started off not so good, but i try to stay there mentally. but i try to stay there mentally. two sides, they could have gone, and both ways, i'm happy that they went my way. they went my way. and i'm happy to be and i'm happy to be in the next round. in the next round. jessica pegula tomorrow. well, meanwhile the women's well, meanwhile the women's world number one world number one iga swiatek is also safely through, thanks iga swiatek is also safely through, thanks to a straight—set victory to a straight—set victory over liudmila samsonova. over liudmila samsonova. the last time swiatek reached the last time swiatek reached quarters at flushing meadows, quarters at flushing meadows, she went on to lift the trophy, she went on to lift the trophy, that was in 2022. that was in 2022.

she'll play the american sixth seed she'll play the american sixth seed jessica pegula tomorrow. againstjesse, it's never easy, it's gonna be, for sure, a tough one because she plays really, you know flat ball, with no spin and you have to work really low on your legs and she is in a good rhythm right now and she's won so many matches that, for sure, it's going to be a challenge. so this is how the fixtures line up in new york today, first up the spaniard paula badosa taking on emma navarro.

cheptegui was attacked at her home in western kenya where she'd been training. it comes just months after the record—breaking long—distance runner agnes tirop was found stabbed to death in the same town. it's day six of the paralympics... with lots more action and medals coming—up in paris. our paralympic reporter sally hurst is live there for us. sally, we'll talk about today's medals injust a moment. but there are still plenty of celebrations from yesterday's successes aren't there? absolutely, great britain had six gold medals yesterday.

bellamy had already named his squad but he's called up the leeds united teenage midfielder charlie crew today. meanwhile, striker che adams has withdrawn from the scotland squad ahead of their nations league games against poland and portugal. rangers midfielder connor barron has been given his first call up in his place. still with football and the transfer window may have closed but there are still several deals being done. one of those involves the northern ireland international jamal lewis who's left newcastle to join sao paulo on a season long loan. lewis will be the first british lewis will be the first british player to go to the brazilian club. player to go to the brazilian club. elsewhere wolves have confirmed that elsewhere wolves have confirmed that winger daniel podence has completed winger daniel podence has completed a permanent move to al—shabab a permanent move to al—shabab in the saudi pro league. in the saudi pro league. he leaves after four—and—a—half he leaves after four—and—a—half years at the west midlands club. years at the west midlands club. also on his way to saudi also on his way to saudi arabia is the brazilian teenager angelo gabriel. arabia is the brazilian he's left chelsea to join al—nassr he's left chelsea to join al—nassr for a fee understood to be more than £19 million. for a fee understood to be more he featured for chelsea he featured for chelsea during their preseason tour during their preseason tour of the us but failed to make of the us but failed to make a first—team appearance a first—team appearance

let me update you on that breaking story we brought you, a major search and rescue operation under way in the channel after a boat carrying dozens of migrants capsized. hugh schofield joins us from paris. what is the latest. the latest is as predicted the casualty figure seems to be going up. an official toll of at least five dead. that is certain to go off. unofficially we have been told and the fp news agency has been told and the fp news agency has been told it is 13 who have died, a local newspaper who tends to get these things early talks about at least ten so it looks as if that is the figure we are settling down to, a

boat that got into difficulty of bologna this morning. french boat came to the scene. found that this rubber dinghy was breaking up, it had fallen apart and all the people on the boat were in the water. a major rescue operation was launched. it seems they managed to get about 50 people to sure, some in a serious condition and some who may have died since and there were others in the water and i think that is why the casualty figure has gone up. thank you and you can follow that story on the bbc news channel and the website. in the last eight years, more than 180 council—run libraries

the pressures facing libraries and is �*committed to giving stability back to local councils'. our reporterjayne mccubbin has more. save our libraries! after 14 years of austerity public libraries are still under threat. right now dozens of libraries are fighting to keep their doors open while hundreds more have closed. and for many, that is a catastrophe. it for many, that is a catastrophe. ut seems to be like a decimation of our cultural entitlement. it seems to me that we are being deprived of that. these are very important spaces. we should be treasuring them and we should be treasuring them and we should feel isn't it wonderful that we have these and we must fight to save them and fight to find

the founder of a company selling what're believed to be the first ever sikh action toys says the worldwide demand for them has been even higher than they could have imagined. khalsa toys was founded in coventry three years ago, and now ships its toys as far away as canada and india. raj kaur bilkhu has more. so the children had seen it on youtube and they were super excited. they were like, "oh, mum, there's some figurines "that look like sikhs." obviously it's something that hasn't been done before or they've ever seen. so yeah, they just saw something that represented them, their culture, their religion. so yeah, they were super excited and they knew straightaway that they wanted one. the toys have encouraged belinda's ten—year—old daughter tara to embrace her faith. it's been really beautiful to see tara practising herfaith, so she's been covering her head on and off for quite a while. my religion probably means to me like equality and love and to not

give up and to be brave. coventry based khalsa toy store was developed in 2021. they had no idea how much of a demand there'd be for the action figures. i was with my business partner, we were at his house and he has two young boys aged between six and eight, and they were playing with some of their toys that they already had. and they said, "dad, why don't we have any toys that look like us?" and that was kind of like a light bulb moment where we thought, actually, yeah, that's true. like, why don't we have something that, you know, represents our image, our physical characteristics, because we have a very distinct and unique appearance. an idea that started off in the living room has gone global, and these are still thought to be the only sikh action figures available anywhere in the world. yeah, we've got quite a global reach now. initially it was even quite promising when we had, like i said, just the one first, the pioneering figurine, the baaj singh navy. so we've had a lot of orders from canada, a lot of orders from america. and now we see an increase in demand in australia and india as well.

sukhwinder singh teaches sikh history. he says representation in toys is crucial for children's sense of identity. for them to have enough confidence, where is that confidence going to come from? when they see these figurines and these heroes from our history, not fictional, but real heroes, it gives them that confidence that they need to be able to go out there and be proud of who they are. and there are big plans to take these toys forward. so the future for khalsa toy store, we want to tell the backstory of those characters, so we're working very hard on developing their story through animations. so we want to make animations which will allow children to watch

so we want to make animations which will allow ci seafront watch so we want to make animations which will allow ci seafront with her rickshaw on barry seafront with her co—starjoanna page. james korten was directing the scene and he said it was wonderful to be back. although it looks a little grey on the seafront there, doesn't it? it did in those pictures but down at the amusement arcade i suspect it sunny with temperatures around 17 or 18, not too bad for barry island or the weather watcher in cornwall, blue skies overhead. we have a range of views across the uk, a mix of weather but blue skies in that photo. slightly different in the highlands with more cloud and bits and pieces of rain. we had this big area of high pressure dry to build its way in from the west but a couple of old weather fronts left behind, bringing some sharp showers towards the south—east this afternoon, another thickening the

cloud for scotland and northern ireland but in between we have a slice of sunshine. temperatures, quite a range out there, getting up to 22, possibly 2425 in the south—east, cooler and fresher north and west. heading this evening and overnight, the cool and fresher sinks south—east, last night was warm and muggy in the south—east, tonight perhaps not quite as muggy, dropping to around 14 degrees in london and just 4 degrees in the highlands. coolerair london and just 4 degrees in the highlands. cooler air in place as we head into tomorrow. tomorrow is a sunshine and showers a day, some of those heavy especially in this clump moving from eastern scotland into the central belt and southern parts of scotland as we go through the day and there could be the odd flash of lightning and rumble of thunder. between the showers decent sunshine and a cooler and fresher feel for the middle of the week, 15—20 but

the middle of the week, 15—20 but the pressure bill will not last. things change for the second half of the week and this little weather system does not look like much but it will drop southwards during wednesday night, joining forces with a big area of low pressure on the near continent to bring quite heavy rain across southern england, the midlands, wales on thursday, and enough to cause localised flooding and disruption. it's strive further north, light winds, blustery in the south but starting to feel warmer. and more humid. heading towards friday a big low pressure swirling to the south of us, frontal systems bringing rain in the south, quite brisk winds but the wind coming from continental europe, it has been very warm here lately and it will feel quite humid for the end of the week but still some rain in the south. thank you. that's all from today's bbc news at one.

enjoy your afternoon. goodbye.
