thousands gathered demanding a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages held by hamas since the october 7th attacks. our correspondent hugo bachega is injerusalem and gave us this update. this is the deadliest incident involving the israeli military since january and one of the deadliest in this war. so, the military gave some details about what happened earlier today. it said these soldiers were members of an engineering unit and their armoured vehicle was hit by a large explosion. and this explosion then triggered the detonation of explosive material, engineering material in the car. so, this is under investigation. apparently, this was in breach of the standard practice, and an investigation continues. but daniel hagari, a military spokesman, said that this initial explosion was most likely caused by an explosive device in the area or by an anti—tank missile. and we know that earlier today, the armed wing of hamas claim to have carried out an attack on an israeli convoy with an anti—tank missile after setting up an ambush. so, a huge incident in gaza. as i said, this is where the israeli authorities say hamas�*s last—remaining battalions are active. this is also where hundreds of thousands of palestinians have been sheltering, many have fled other parts of gaza because of this constant military activity. so, one of the deadliest incidents for the israeli military in this war. meanwhile, tensions have also been escalating this week between lebanon's hezbollah movement and israel along israel's northern frontier. on wednesday, an israeli strike killed one of hezbollah�*s senior commanders. in retaliation, the group then fired multiple barrages of rockets into northern israel. at the g7 summit, leaders expressed concern about the prospect of a broader war in the middle east. i spoke about this earlier with colin clarke. he is the director of research at the soufan group, a global intelligence and security consultancy. it's great to have year on bbc news. it's great to have year on bbc news. i want to start by getting your thoughts on the explosion today in rafah, which killed at least eight members of the idea. what do you think that now says about the state of this war and this battle and nausea?

because he wants to take over a neighbouring country. i do not wish this to anyone. i sincerely wish that all of you, all the peoples of the world, every child, every family could simply live without war, and i want this for all ukrainians. ukraine have the right to peace, just like all of you. ladies and gentlemen, we must stop this war, based on the un charter, respect for international law, the just interests of the ukrainian people and the idea of the undeniable value of human life. life, not war. us vice president kamala harris met with president zelensky. they discussed the delivery of us aid packages including 1.5 billion in aid for humanitarian services, restoring energy infrastructure, and civilian security. during the event, ms harris voiced her full support for mr zelensky. russia's aggression is not only an attack on the lives and the freedom of the people of ukraine. it is not only an attack on global food security and energy supplies. russia's aggression is also an attack on international rules and norms and the principles embodied in the un charter. 0ur correspondent sarah rainsford has been following the summit in burgenstock. shattering the peace of the swiss mountainside for the cause of peace in ukraine. volodymyr zelensky came to meet delegations from all over the world, coming together here to begin seeking out a path towards ending the war waged by russia. talking peace is new territory for kyiv, but now, it's seizing the initiative, hoping for a broad global alliance that can help push for a settlement on ukraine's terms. 101 states and international organisations are now at this summit. this is a tremendous success, our success, the common success of all those who believe that a united world, united nations, are stronger than any aggressor. russia was not at the summit because ukraine believes scenes like this show vladimir putin's not interested in peace, just destruction and domination. only this week, he called on kyiv to capitulate if it wants a ceasefire. do you think that the west has been too scared of vladimir putin to actually help ukraine defeat him? well, i'm pleased that the uk has played a leading role in providing support to ukraine, the first country to provide lethalaid, more recently, under my leadership, main battle tanks, long—range weapons, to train air force pilots. that demonstrates the strength of support for ukraine. ukraine's close allies will have to go on doing all that, even as they support the stirrings of a peace process that would have to involve russia, too, at some point. we are looking for the possibility, if thisjoint plan will be ready, - it will be possible to invite a representative of russia| and represent this plan. but this is very important, l together with all countries, maybe just more, and it will be open dialogue. l the gulf is huge. the chances of bridging it seem so remote. but far from the devastation in ukraine, perhaps there's a faint glimmer of hope. sarah rainsford, bbc news, lake lucerne. politicians in south africa are hammering out the details of the country's next government — the first since the end of apartheid not to be exclusively run by the african national congress, the party once led by nelson mandela. last month's elections saw incumbent president cyril ramaphosa led the anc to its worst result since the end of white minority rule 30 years ago, the first time it's held less than half the seats in the national assembly. mr ramaphosa was re—elected by the legislature friday — but only thanks to the support of the democratic alliance, the anc�*s traditional opponent, alongside two smaller parties. negotiations are under way to decide the shape a new national unity government — in which cabinet posts will be shared among its four member parties. for more on this unprecedented moment in south africa's politics, i spoke to wilmotjames, former chairman of the democratic alliance. these two parties really don't see i tie. the da has it sorely been the biggest critic of the anc. now that they'll be partners in the government, how do you think this is going to work?
