Netherlands are disqualified. Nearly 2,000 people have been evacuated from Ukraines Kharkiv region russia says its forces have captured five settlements in the area. And the most powerful solar storm in 21 years triggers spectacular celestial light shows in many parts of the world. Hello, im catherine byaruhanga. The Israeli Military says about 300,00 palestinians have left the city of rafah since monday, when israel told them to move to a nearby district of gaza. The israelis have declared a narrow coastal strip at al mawasi to be a safe humanitarian zone, but the un says it has no Running Water or proper sanitation. Israel is planning an assault on Hamas Fighters In Rafah and has ordered Tens Of Thousands more residents from Eastern Districts of the city to leave. Evacuation orders have also been issued for thousands of people in parts of northern gaza. Last night, a long awaited Us Government report criticised israels use of american supplied weapons in the gaza war, saying its reasonable to assess they have been used in breach of International Humanitarian law in some instances. This report from our middle east correspondent, yolande knell. Now a ghost town. Parts of rafah that were crammed full of people just days ago are rapidly emptying out. Palestinians fleeing in their thousands as israel signals it is now set to push in further from the east, issuing new Evacuation Orders. There is no choice, we have to go to the coast like everyone else, ahmad says. Israeli air strikes and artillery shelling have caused panic and palestinian casualties. Israel says it is taking action against hamas, in one of its last strongholds, here, attacking a launch site for rockets fired at an israeli city. But with israels capture of one main Border Crossing and another blocked off by fighting, this is the fifth day with no aid getting into southern gaza. There are severe shortages of food, clean water and fuel, deepening the humanitarian crisis. So far, israels military is describing its offensive in rafah as limited, but the world is watching to see if this turns into the full scale invasion that the countrys allies have warned against. And as israeli tanks and troops await orders near the gaza border, there has been another strong statement from washington. It says that with some of its strikes on gaza such as this attack on a residential building late last year, reportedly killing over 100 people, many of them children, israel may have used American Supplied Weapons In Breach of international law. Israel has consistently denied any violations. And yet, the new report may yet have an impact on plans back here in rafah where there is already a growing sense of emergency. Yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. Yolande knelljoined us a little earlier from jerusalem with the very latest from the israeli government. The Israeli Military have spoken about how its forces have been involved, they say, in face to face combat in the areas around rafah saying, too, that there were four rockets fired towards the crossing in the south eastern corner of the gaza strip where humanitarian aid has been unable to get through for the past few days. We have had the Israeli Military saying that across the gaza strip in the past days it has carried out dozens of strikes. These have not only been in rafah but in the centre of the gaza strip where the funeral has been taking place for 25 People Killed in an air strike overnight. Palestinian Health Officials have said that at least 37 people were killed in the latest air strikes. We know too that the Israeli Military has been issuing Evacuation Orders for Tens Of Thousands of people in other parts of the gaza strip in the north, particularly in the area, that is an area where Israeli Forces withdrew from, it could be a sign that Palestinian Armed groups are moving back and they are planning to return there. What more could we expect from the Israeli Ministry . We saw earlier in the week they issued orders for people in eastern gaza, it then sent Ground Troops into those areas. What can we expect to happen . The us assessment a couple of days ago was what was happening in rafah remains a limited and precise operation, not the full scale Ground Invasion which there has been so much concerned about. Even we can see at the moment, it is still causing a new humanitarian crisis in the south of the gaza strip. What is happening at the moment. All eyes are on the borders to see if there are going to be more forces crossing in. If this is going to be a Ground Invasion of rafah, you know, previously we have had israeli leaders saying its something that needs to happen in orderfor israel to be able to declare a full victory over hamas in this war and try to bring home israeli hostages. At the Eurovision Song Contest in the swedish city of malmo, thousands of people are protesting about israels participation.

Ukraine disputes the claim. The local governor acknowledged heavy fighting was continuing, but described the situation as � under control�. More than Seventeen Hundred people have been evacuated. The us based think tank, the institute for the study of war, reported that russia had likely taken several villages. These are pictures of volunteers helping people in settlements around kharkiv evacuate. Russia also claimed to have captured a village further south in the donetsk region. In the russian occupied city of donetsk, the Authorities Say three civilians were killed and others injured in Ukrainian Missile strikes, one of which hit a restaurant. Our correspondent in kyiv James Waterhouse has more. It creates for ukraine an unwanted new North Eastern access to the front line and this is a front line at the moment which is more than 1000km long and it is a front line which Ukrainian Forces are struggling to contain, with the delays of the arrival of american ammunition and weaponry and with russia continuing to make its size count and taking ukrainian territory further south. Crucially for kyiv, it is having to redeploy already stretched personnel to the Kharkiv Region to contain this incursion which we are told is being contained for now. There has been heavy fighting really for the past 2a hours and i think while few think they are able, even with the gathering of Tens Of Thousands of Russian Troops across the border, few think they are able to take cities like kharkiv because they failed the first time around. But it appears for now to be russia trying to form a buffer zone, try to extend the distance between russian territory and the fighting it is waging in ukraine, because Ukrainian Forces have been increasingly shelling targets inside russia. So the question really, as president zelensky admits, is what is going to happen next, we are containing it for now but is this russia building for something more . Now it� s time for a look at today� s sport. Hello from the bbc sport Centre Manchester city have returned to the top of the Premier League for a day at least after thumping fulham 4 0. Two goals from josko gvardiol. One from phil foden. And a Latejulian Alvarez penalty means pep guardiola� s side are two points clear of arsenal, having played the same number of games. They� ve won their last seven Premier League matches. Averaging four goals a game. These Football Players for many years have done it, we are in the latter stages, we have a final, our dream is, we talked, when it was aston villa, the dream has arrived, the last game is west ham at home, destiny belongs to us. Yes, really pleased for the performance, great chances, and now recover and come back to manchester and recover and in a few days, come back to london and play the final. Absolutely the final that we have. They have three points and we have to say, to be honest, we knew it was going to be tough, not just their motivation because we are at the top of our motivation, too, but the quality of their last few games, notjust winning, not two games, probably last two or three, but clearly winning Football Matches with great scores as well and all that stuff. Six more matches underway. And luton and burnley could both be relegated today. They both led away from home but have since been pegged back by west ham in the second half and Tottenham Hotspurjust before the break in those two games. Newcastle still retain european ambitions. They were losing to brighton but equalised at half time. You can follow these games on the bbc sport website. James anderson england� s all time leading wicket taker has confirmed he will retire from test cricket injuly. The 41 year old is third on the all time list with 700 scalps and has the most test wickets of any seam bowler. His last test will come against west indies at lord� s on july 10th. The decision comes after he held talks this week with test coach Brendon Mccullum who told anderson england want to build an attack for the future. Meanwhile england� s women rallied after a poor start to their T20 International Against pakistan in birmingham. The home side lost 4 wickets in the first 17 balls to slip to 11 for 4. Captain Heather Knight was one of those to steady things. While Danielle Gibson hit a quickfire 41 as england eventually posted 163 for 6 in their 20 overs. Rafa nadal has been beaten in the second round of the italian 0pen as he continues what is very likely to be his final year before retiring. He lost in straight sets in rome to hubert hurkacz. Nadal has won this tournament ten times. But has struggled to reach his normal formidable levels on clay and struggled from the outset against the polish seventh seed, losing 6 1 6 3. Much easier for the top seed iga swiatek, who breezed past Yulia Putinseva in straight sets to reach the last 16. Former world number one naomi 0saka is also into the fourth round. She beat Daria Kasatkina 6 3, 6 3. She� ll play Linda Noskova or qinwenzheng next. The defending men� s champion has alsojust made it the defending men� s champion has also just made it through. Well, from a former world number one to a current one.

The Taliban In Afghanistan say more than Three Hundred people are now known to have died in devastating flash floods in the north of the country. A spokesman for the Interior Ministry told the bbc that most of the casualties were in the province of baghlan. Emergency teams have been sent to rescue those stranded by the floodwaters.

Prince harry and meghan are in nigeria this weekend as part of the duke� s promotion of the invictus games. Harry played a seated volleyball match with army veterans, many of whom were wounded in battles against the country� s islamist insurgency. Harry� s team dressed in yellow took on a squad led by nigeria� s chief of defence staff, the country� s top commander. The prince� s team took an early lead but ending up losing the match 25 21. 0ur africa correspondent Simi Jola Oso is following the visit. They have been getting a really warm welcome here in abuja. Prince harry went to the ministry of Defence Headquarters where he received a Military Salute and they are the department behind their visit. And as you mentioned, they went to a school here in abuja where they were greeted by a group of really excited and enthusiastic schoolchildren there. They spoke about Mental Health and prince harry told the students to promise to be open about their Mental Health and not to lock in their emotions and also to kind of kick the stigma around Mental Health into the long grass, he said. He also told them that he wants them to remember that it� s ok to not be ok. After their visit, i spoke to a couple of the students. One girl told me that she was left really inspired by their message, especially having such a high calibre couple come to visit their school and that she herself had suffered or struggled with anxiety and depression. And now she feels the courage to be able to speak out about her Mental Health. The most powerful solar storm in more than two decades has been hitting the earth, triggering spectacular celestial light shows in many parts of the world and bringing possible disruptions to satellites and power grids. Such storms occur when the sun emits large clouds of particles with scientists expecting this one to persist into the weekend. It means people across britain have been able to see the Northern Lights a phenomenon which isn� t normally visible to people in southern england. This was the scene in the skies over 0xford. These beautiful pictures on the bbc newsroom from across the uk. You are watching bbc news. Stay with us. Hello, let� s start with the space forecast. There is a very high chance of the sky is being lit up once again by the aurora borealis. Perfect conditions for many of us with clear skies, and the advice is to keep watching the sky from late evening onwards. But you need to get your eyes used to that dark sky, because the aurora isn� t quite as bright as some of those photographs suggest. This is the probability of seeing the aurora. The reds indicate 90 100 probability. And further south, 50 50. Because it will be right above our heads, even people in the further south area, you might even still see it somewhere along the horizon. Here is the forecast, dry for most today, but scattered thunderstorms on the way, some could be torrential. The forecast for the rest of the day and into the second half of the afternoon, some scattered showers, it may be some cracks of thunder in the forecast for the highlands, maybe one or two for the lowlands and southern uplands. But on the whole, a sunny and very warm day for many of us, temperatures in the low to mid 20s in some spots. Even coastal areas will see temperatures of around 20 or more. The winds are very light. If you are unlucky you might be under some of the thicker shrouding the north sea coast. This evening, aurora time, not completely clear, so fingers crossed it won� t be too cloudy. The aurora could hang around for a good hour or two, so there is plenty of opportunity to go out again to try to catch a glimpse of that light spectacle. Remember, it is not quite so vivid, you have to get used to it. High pressure slips away on a sunday, that has been on top of us giving us giving us the settled weather just in time for the aurora.
