an independent investigation into israeli shelling that damaged the gaza office of the international committee of the red cross on friday. jordan condemned what it called israel's "systematic targeting" of civilians and aid agencies. in tel aviv, tens of thousands of people attended what organisers said was the biggest anti—government protest since the war began. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is under continued public pressure as the families of 116 hostages held by hamas in gaza plead for a ceasefire. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, has more on saturday's strikes. there have been more deadly israeli strikes on different neighbourhoods of gaza city. in beach camp, or shati camp, large strikes there. you can see these dark plumes of smoke in social media videos, several homes flattened, shocked people rushing to help the casualties who are at the scene. and there has been speculation in isreali media that a senior hamas commander was being targeted, but the official israeli military statement only talks about hamas structures being targeted. the israeli military has also put out a statement saying that there was not a direct attack on an international committee of the red cross facility in rafah, a day ago. that is where at least 23 people were killed according to the red cross, when there was shelling on a tent camp for displaced people, and the red cross office nearby was also damaged. to the north of here, on the israel—lebanon border, tensions remain high. there has been an intensification in cross—border violence with israeli forces and the lebanese armed group hezbollah, but the israeli military says that today it killed a man there who was an operative of hamas and allied group, saying he was applying these groups with weapons and they have put out a video of the deadly drone strike they say was on his car. as the war in gaza continues, many palestinians are trying their utmost to leave. the only way out is via neighbouring egypt. but for the vast majority of palestinians, exiting gaza via that avenue is an arduous and costly endevaour. earlier, i spoke to new york times reporter, adam rasgon. he's been covering the challenges people face when trying to flee the enclave. adam, thank you for being with us on bbc news. you are reporting details, the lengths that some people are going to to get out of gaza. talk to us more about what you have found out. thank you for having me. so i started reporting this story several months ago, and basically i spoke to several palestinians, both inside gaza and outside, who were either trying to help themselves find a way out or help family members or friends live gaza. it's an incredibly arduous path. some people, since the start of the conflict, have been able to leave because they are sick or injured, because of connections to foreign government organisations, or through other pathways, but for the vast majority of the population in gaza, the only way out, at least for the past many months, has been through this one company which is an egyptian company, named hella. we were told by several people that we spoke to who went through this process of trying to leave through the egyptian company, that most individuals who were above the age of 16, they would pay $5,000 in order to get out. and for most individuals below the age of 16, they would pay $2500. an individual who is tied to the company, that is facilitating this process, disputed that, saying that everyone who is an adult would pay $2500 and everyone who is a child wouldn't pay at all. but all the people we spoke to for this story, and it was at least a dozen individuals, said they, indeed, paid $5,000 and $2500, depending on their ages. well, whichever way you look at it, these are large sums of money. i would imagine that is unaffordable for many people there in gaza, so how are people going about getting that money together? so some people have saved up money, you know, before the war, and are able — you know, well—connected individuals, who can bring forward the money that they have. but for much of gaza, which is impoverished, and people will have no money to even buy food or other basic goods, they go to gofundme, which is a crowdfunding platform. many of these people have reached out to networks and contacts abroad in order to get their pages built, to — to market them, and to promote them, and try to raise as much money as they can. but it is an extremely expensive endeavour in order to leave, and families that are often, you know, 20 and 30 individuals, extended families trying to leave altogether, having to raise tens of thousands of dollars in order to leave. just on the point of the crossing, it is near to rafah where we know there have been ground operations ongoing. has that impacted it? yes, on may 6, israel invaded rafah and took over the rafah crossing, overnight, between may 6 and 7. since that happened, the crossing has been shut down. nobody has been able to travel through the crossing from gaza into egypt. and we recently saw footage from the crossing that showed that many of the primary facilities, including its main terminal, had been severely damaged. and it appears that they'll sort of need to establish some of the facility or bring in some makeshift, you know, facilities, or undertake a serious renovation before they will be able to reopen it. just for clarity, are there other routes for people to get out? israel has allowed an extremely small number of palestinians to either travel through its territory or to — to go to its territory, so virtually for the overwhelming majority, if not always every person in gaza, the only route out is through egypt. so as long as that crossing is shut, most people, u nfortu nately, are trapped in gaza — at least individuals who are desiring to leave the wall. israel's army carried out a drone attack on a moving vehicle in lebanon's bekaa valley, a0 kilometres north of the israel—lebanon border. israel's military said it targeted ayman al ghatma, who is accused of supplying weapons to hamas. lebanese media carried video footage showing a fire engine trying to douse the flames that engulfed the car. the raid comes as israel and lebanese armed group hezbollah exchange fire across the frontier. the bbc�*s lucy williamson has more on concerns about war spreading to lebanon. war empties neighbourhoods. here on israel's northern border, many say war is also the way to get residents back. were you hurt, did it hit you? yes, i was here, i stood here. david has refused to leave, even when rockets landed right in front of his house a few weeks ago. shrapnel slicing through the walls, missing him by inches. you see the wall? it's made him even more determined to stay. every day, every night, bomb — problem. and i born here. what i say? look, hezbollah. kill hezbollah. if you live you one night, you go crazy. very strong, very problem. bombs, rockets. why? rockets hit kiryat shmona every week. this slipped past israel's defences last friday, hitting a street outside the mayor's office. the us is pushing hard for a diplomatic solution here, but the mayor says full—scale war is the only way out. translation: sitting - here like lambs to slaughter, just waiting for the day they attack us, like we saw in the south, it's unacceptable, and everyone understands the choice is between war now 01’ war later. i don't think there is any country in the world that would accept daily fire against its citizens. israel has been striking back across the border and talking up preparations for a full—scale offensive against hezbollah. hezbollah has vowed that nowhere in israel would be spared. tough talk is part of both sides�* strategy of deterrence, but it can also spotlight the path to war. looked like a missile. i don't know. it looks like they shot it to the middle... tom was out when a hezbollah rocket hit his house in kibbutz malkiya, right on the border. look what one rocket can do to a house. it just. .. everything ruined. it's c r azy , n 07 he says israel's leadership has failed. they lost it. they need to quit. all of them. yeah. the biggest failure of our army and our country was on the seventh of october, and they were the leaders. protests for a ceasefire in gaza that would also calm tensions in the north aren't working on israel's prime minister. mortgaged by his promise to far right government allies to destroy hamas before ending the gaza war. playing for time is his speciality, but this, many say, the longer it goes on, is playing with fire. lucy williamson, bbc news, the israel—lebanon border. to the war in ukraine now, where local officials says a russian attack on ukraine's second—largest city of kharkiv has killed at least three people and injured nearly a0 others. meanwhile, ukraine's energy facilities endured a massive overnight attack. ukraine's energy minister said it's the eighth time russia has targeted the country's energy infrastructure in the past three months. the attacks come as a new report by the advocacy group human rights watch says russian authorities are violating the laws of armed conflict by imposing a russian curriculum and propaganda in ukrainian schools in occupied areas. the report alleges that russian officials have retaliated against school workers who refuse to make changes to curriculum — with threats, detention, and even torture. to speak more about the report, i spoke to rachel denber. she's the deputy director of the europe and central asian division at human rights watch. we know that russian language has been brought in, part of the curriculum, in schools and areas. but also specific history textbooks. tell us more about that, what ukrainian schoolchildren are being taught in that regard. the russian authorities are imposing the russian state curriculum in areas — in schools and areas that russia is occupying, and that includes the use of textbooks and other materials that include just blatant falsification of history, distortions of history, about ukraine's history, that deny the existence of ukraine as a state, that deny, basically, the existence of ukraine as a culture, the ukrainian language. it was all kinds of distortions about the current — the ongoing war. it denies that russia has invaded ukraine. it includes maps and other representations that show occupied areas — areas that russia is occupying of ukraine — as parts of russia, and other distortions. and so, rachel, among all of those different areas, if — if staff say they don't want to comply, i understand in your report you have been speaking to them, and they face retaliation. what have they been telling you about what they have had to face? well, staff who refuse to co—operate in any way with the — russian authorities in — in occupied areas face detention, harassment, beatings, torture, and expulsion. we spoke to a number of teachers — a number of education workers who were just outright expelled from these occupied areas after they were detained and — and severely threatened. we talked to one school principal who tried to prevent the occupation authorities from getting hold of the school data, you know, he was trying to protect the students and teachers, and they tortured him for days, with beatings and electric shocks and the like. and it's important to point out with regards to education, there are also international laws on this when it comes to conflict, isn't it? just tell us more about that. that's right. so there are two things. first, by imposing the russian state curriculum, russia is actually violating laws of armed conflict, which says when one state occupies another warring party, they are not allowed to change the laws, and that is what russian has done here. they changed the laws. and they're also denying ukrainian children their rights under several international conventions — the right to language, to national language and culture, and national values. the russian occupation authorities are also banning, you know, ukrainian parents from having their children studying ukrainian state curriculum online, banning them and threatening — threatening them that if their children studying the ukrainian curriculum online, that they will take the children away from them, they will take them to an orphanage, or — and other threats like that. now, what i found interesting in your report is that it also details children undergoing military training, as part of the curriculum. tell us more about that. is that with a view to them being drafted into the russian military? well, it's — it's with a view — they're trying to indoctrinate these children into having certain feelings about duty to — to russia, which is, of course, completely in violation of international law — not to mention just vile. and they are — in some classes they are — they offer, you know, training, particularly in the upper classes, for boys, especially training in the use of weapons. and whether it — whether it's — whether they plan to conscript these children or not, eventually, russia has been conscripting ukrainian people who are ukrainian citizens into the russian military in areas that they are occupying. they have been occupying crimea since 2014 and they have been conscripting people, many people in crimea, to serve in the russian military, and other areas where russia is occupying their play all other kinds of pressure to get people who are ukrainian citizens to serve in the russian military. iran's supreme court has overturned a death sentence against the popular rapper, toomaj salehi. he was jailed for backing the nationwide protests which were sparked by mahsa amini's death. she died in police custody in 2022 after being arrested for violating strict muslim dress rules for women. mr salehi's lawyer says the supreme court has ordered a retrial. the rapper became a symbol of resistance, with artists including coldplay and sting joining the international campaign to save his life. kasra naji, a correspondent at the bbc�*s persian service, has more. it doesn't mean that mr salehi is out of the woods, he's not, this goes back to a lower court which will re—examine the case and decide on a new sentence. so, that is where we are today. in iran, thejudicial process is very political in nature and many of these decisions are taken on the basis of the political situation, on the timing, and so on and so forth. today, my guess, the only thing that i can think of is that we are very close to the iranian presidential election, which is going to be held next week on friday, onjune 28, and maybe the iranian authorities feel that this may be one of those rare good news that might entice people to come to votes at a time and a lot of people want to stay away from the polls. also, that maybe they fear that there may be some backlash if there was going to be an execution of this popular man. to the uk election campaign now, and a fourth conservative is reportedly being looked into by the gambling commission over bets allegedly placed on the date of the uk general election. the sunday times is reporting that a senior conservative party official allegedly placed dozens of bets, which the paper says, could have generated winnings worth thousands of pounds. here's our political correspondent, helen catt. now, the paper is saying that a spokesman for the official has denied any wrongdoing. two party candidates and an election official also being looked at. previously a spokesperson for the party has told the bbc it had been contacted by the gambling commission about a small number of individuals and as the gambling commission is an independent body, it wouldn't be proper for the conservative party to comment further until any process is concluded. the us supreme court upheld a law that prevents people with domestic violence restraining orders from owning a gun. the case was brought by a texas drug dealer who threatened to shoot his girlfriend if she reported he assaulted her. after she received a restraining order against the man, his guns were taken away and he argued that it was a violation of his second amendment right to bear arms. the supreme court ruled against this in an eight to one vote and said the constitution does permit laws that prevent people who are deemed dangerous to own guns from owning guns. for more on this i spoke to crystaljustice, the chief external affairs officer at the national domestic violence hotline. crystal, thank you for being with us on bbc news. of course, as you know, yesterday, the supreme court ruled to uphold a law disarming domestic abusers. what was your reaction to that news? well, we were relieved at the decision and that the supreme court overturned the fifth circuit court's ruling, and upheld this constitutionality of ensuring that firearms is not in the hands of abusive partners when there is a protection order in the situation. and so, with this ruling, the supreme court has saved thousands of lives and protected survivors, so we are relieved and we also affirm they should have never been up for debate in the first place. relief, but i'm sure the work at your organisation and the hotline goes on. just sketch out to us the number of people calling, the prevalence of people who face the risk of domestic violence, including being threatened with a weapon in their own homes? it's important to know domestic violence is a public health crisis. it impacts ten million americans every year. it's a global crisis as well. and so we are deeply concerned. we are experiencing a record inbound calls, texts from people experiencing domestic violence every day — nearly 3000 calls a day. and we are seeing the rise of domestic violence both in the escalation and severity of abuse and the frequency of abuse. we not only need to see protections like this upheld, we need to see better protections in the united states and a call for the end of domestic violence in the us. that is troubling, the fact you say there you're seeing a rise in domestic abuse. do you and your colleagues have any idea why that might be? i think domestic violence has always been prevalent but i think you — we see — like the fifth circuit court ruling or attacks on reproductive rights or the rights of survivors and protections being rolled back, which creates barriers for survivors to access safety and actually emboldens abusive partners and puts more tools in their tool box to cause harm and control and harass their victims. so from what you're saying, there appears to be a link here between key court rulings on what people are experiencing behind closed doors. absolutely. and in the months that followed the fifth circuit court ruling on rahimi, we experienced a 40% increase in those reporting being harassed or the use of firearms in their abusive relationship to control or harm them. that was across the united states. in the three states impacted, it was even more significant. when we saw with the reversal of roe, in the dobbs decision, we saw almost a doubling of those reporting reproductive coercion, which is abusive partners attempting to control the reproductive futures and health of their victims. and so yes, these decisions that are being made by scotus and courts across the country are having a deep and profound impact on those who are experiencing domestic violence. crystal, you called this, at the beginning of this interview, a public health emergency, a crisis. what needs to happen? we need to do more. we are greatly underfunded in the united states. the response to domestic violence is under—resourced, the demand for services is overwhelmed. we have seen an overreliance on law enforcement, we need more community solutions. we need to see better laws and protections, we need congress to close the boyfriend loophole. you know, this — scotus protecting — reversing this decision and taking firearms out of the hands of abusive partners is important. congress can take this even further by closing the boyfriend loophole. there is a loophole in the law where we're basically aren't defining what an intimate partner or boyfriend is, and so through this loophole, we see that an intimate partner labelled a boyfriend could access a firearm, because it doesn't fit the definition of that in the bill, it would be a very simple change. we have been calling on this for many, many years, the field has been demanding that congress close the boyfriend loophole. we saw it partially closed with the safer communities act, but it needs to be fully closed. 0ur colleagues in london take overfrom here, from office in washington thank you for your company and have a good night. goodbye for now. hello. the next few days look set to bring the warmest weather of the summer so far. 2a degrees was our top temperature on saturday, but over the next few days, as this warm and rather humid air surges northwards, we can expect higher temperatures than that, perhaps into the high 20s celsius. some good spells of sunshine, but not necessarily clear blue skies all the time. there will be some areas of cloud. indeed, on sunday mornings, some areas of cloud, mist and murk for parts of western england and wales, particularly over some of the hills and around some of the coasts. we'll keep some patches of cloud through the day on sunday. sea breezes developing around some of the coasts. northern ireland having a nice—looking day, spells of sunshine. similar story for scotland, although a little bit breezy in the western isles — 16 celsius for stornoway, but more generally 19 to 25 celsius, a very warm—feeling day. and quite a warm night, actually, sunday night into monday. still some areas of cloud, a bit of mist and murk here and there, but those temperatures in the centre of london, no lower than 15 degrees, maybe getting down to ten in aberdeen and glasgow and in newcastle. but with this area of high pressure in charge for monday, it's going to be mainly dry and actually even warmer. this frontal system out to the west — we'll have to keep an eye on that — will start to bring a little bit more cloud, i think, into parts of northern ireland and western scotland with just a small chance for a shower. but elsewhere, some spells of sunshine, a bit of patchy cloud at times. but look at the temperatures — 2a for parts of northern ireland, 26 in northern scotland, across england and wales, widely into the mid—20s, 27 or 28 across the southeast corner. now through monday night into tuesday, that weather front in the west will start to make inroads — more cloud, perhaps some outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, parts of scotland, maybe into the north of england as well. so here a little bit cooler for tuesday, but further south and east, if anything, those temperatures climbing further, 28, perhaps 29 celsius. now, the big uncertainty in our weather story is about how quickly things will change, because it looks like our area of high pressure will loosen its grip, fronts pushing in from the west, low pressure drifting up from the south. one or both of those features will bring something more unsettled and a little bit cooler by the end of the week, but there is huge uncertainty about how quickly that change will take place and before it does some very warm weather on the way. voice-over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. here we go. ahh! millions of us will know who opened our eyes these are related to the development of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. whether he was educating us about the benefits of intermittent fasting... health. 25 calories' worth. and i'm looking forward to it. ..the health boost of cold water... 0oh! ..a plank... i could do this for hours! ..or a glass of beetrootjuice... cheers! ..michael was an endless source of inspiration... whoa, that is weird! ..helping us live life that little bit better... now, i'm not actually looking forward to this but it'll be really interesting to see what happens. ..changing the health habits of a nation. coughs. good look?
