the attacker was injured in the leg and has been receiving medical care putters intend to discuss my condition is not considered life—threatening. the police use peppe" life—threatening. the police use pepper spray and then fired several shots. this video doesn't capture all of those shots fired, there were more. we've paused them at the moment when some of those gun shots were fired. german authorities have put police on high alert during the euros tournament. here's a spokesperson for the hamburg police, speaking shortly after the incident. translation: according to what we know now, i a man came out of a restaurant. he obviously had a molotov cocktail in his hand and also pickaxe. he also apparently tried to set fire to this molotov cocktail and then walked towards several people with it, including police officers who were on duty here at the time. and the police officers then made use of their firearms. we're assuming that this is an isolated case, which means that it's not football related. there's obviously no football connection, but we're dealing with an individual offender. and in this respect, i don't see any danger at all or any impact on the game today. meanwhile, england are preparing for their opening game of the euros against serbia this evening. our correspondent, nick beake, is in gelsenkirchen, where that game will be played and described what the atmosphere is like ahead of the match. 40,000 england fans estimated to be descending on this city today. we're right in the heart of the place. this is one of the pubs where a lot of the fans have congregated. they've been there for quite a few hours now, and i think they'll remain here until they set off to the stadium, which is to the north of this particular part of the city. but as you were saying earlier on, the german police, the german authorities, want this to be a tournament which is typified by people having lots of fun, but also they have talked about the security considerations. and this particular match today between england and serbia is one that's been deemed to be high—risk. now, why is that? on the one hand, you've got the police here saying that they think maybe 500 known hooligans from serbia may have made their way here. also, a concern about who may have travelled from england already. some 2000 passports have been confiscated — people told they can't travel here. but they are on high alert here. there are police... and actually when i was speaking to you about an hour ago, there was a small disturbance — some footage on social media showing potentially what looked like serbian fans and some english fans, some bottles being thrown. that was at a restaurant just down the road. the hope is that that is an isolated incident and doesn't set the tone for the day. but certainly lots of police here — and in all we're told about 1000 police officers — and the working assumption actually more than that. the plan is that the two sets of supporters will be kept apart. right, interesting. what more do we know about the preparations on the football side? yeah. well, gareth southgate has been playing down those expectations. of course, england one of the key favourites for this tournament, really, the team having come together over the past few years with so many top—notch players. it's all about managing expectations. the fans here, i think, you know, as you'd expect, they're in high spirits, hoping that england can get off to a really flying start today with a with a victory against serbia. so that is the hope for what's happening on the field later. in terms of what's happening here, i think fans will be milling around for another few hours or so. the question, i think, is that not all of the fans here have tickets to the match. so what do they do at that point? we know there are some british police here monitoring who's about, what's being said, what's being done. and actually, we should report it was a small number of fans, but probably about 30 or40 singing, chanting. a short time ago, one of the the fans, one of the songs which relates to the second world war, which fifa and other footballing governing bodies have asked england fans not to sing, but that has been sung. and actually, while we were there, there was a german family, and afterwards we asked them, what did you think of it? and they said, well, we can't really understand it. it upsets us. so i think the hope is that sort of thing, if it happens, is very much in the minority and it's the football which is the big talking point this evening and into tomorrow morning. let's speak to football writer henry winter. we heard that gareth southgate almost downplaying expectations. you said earlier that his side must be exceptional. what you make of that? what you think your chances are? it is quite difficult for a england manager to put an expectation because the media experts, the funds are certain expert. you see the numbers of funds who have descended upon gelsenkirchen. if i can echo those concerns about the german bomber chance. i mean, england funds need to grope in the same things like that. in fairness them, the incident and the restaurant, so suggest that there were six arrests, also being. —— fans need to grow up. on the pitch, you look at england's front six, the six that are going to start today and gelsenkirchen against serbia, and there is exceptional talent. trent alexander amma, declan rice, bakary sako, phil foden, footballer of the year, hurricane up front. and jude bellingham upfront. —— harry kane. expectation should be tempered when you look further back in defence, and also the quality of the other teams. we saw germany the other night against cotton, bisson spain, italy's resilience, we saw the dutch earlier today. italy's resilience, we saw the dutch earliertoday. back italy's resilience, we saw the dutch earlier today. back teams are hitting the ground running, and england need to do likewise. the result was that of a hype about england's chances in any international tournament. when you look at tonight's much, let's stay focused on this what are the up with the serbian side? fix, focused on this what are the up with the serbian side?— the serbian side? a team who are very committed. _ the serbian side? a team who are very committed, very _ the serbian side? a team who are| very committed, very determined, the serbian side? a team who are - very committed, very determined, who have absolutely been playing up in the press conferences that england other favourites. pitching the press conferences that england otherfavourites. pitching himself almost as a sort of plucky underdogs. but they will absolutely have a go at the english, and they have a go at the english, and they have players like mitchell rich, who played in england, he will cause problems with his physicality and his aerial threat —— mitrovic. and you have their captain, dusan tadic, who had four good years at southampton. they are not so good defensively, a bit like england, but they have an attacking threat and have also have a very wily manager, also one of the best technical players europe are seen in the last 30 years. players europe are seen in the last 30 ears. , , ., ., 30 years. they will be a threat. just to 30 years. they will be a threat. just to touch — 30 years. they will be a threat. just to touch on _ 30 years. they will be a threat. just to touch on what _ 30 years. they will be a threat. just to touch on what you - 30 years. they will be a threat. just to touch on what you said i just to touch on what you said before about the mood amongst the fans. of course, that is hopefully just a minority who are those chance. what is the other general mood amongst the fans who have travelled there. many don't have tickets but there are still there in force. ., ., , ., , force. the ma'ority of the funds, they come — force. the majority of the funds, they come here, _ force. the majority of the funds, they come here, there _ force. the majority of the funds, they come here, there is - force. the majority of the funds, they come here, there is money| force. the majority of the funds, i they come here, there is money for local charities, they make friends, but unfortunately there is a fairly vocal, malevolent minority who just come to offend, and there is an arrogance. unfortunately, there is a drug element as well. and that is domestic as well as following england overseas. but the majority are here in good spirits, and a good mood because the light england team, they like gareth southgate. but unfortunately england have some followers they could do without. what is your prediction for tonight?

negotiations as are conducted by expert people, but the results are recorded by legitimate representatives. i spoke to our eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford, who's in switzerland, and i asked what substantive change this two day meeting could bring about. the fact that so many countries came together here at this lakeside resort in switzerland is already an important moment in this war in ukraine. it has been more than two years in ukraine itself, that whole process has been devastating, thousands and thousands of people killed, many injured and a war that at this point shows no sign of ending. this is really ukraine seizing the initiative and saying look, we have always said we want peace, we don't want war and this is how we think we can achieve that. it now has switzerland on board as the host of a process that is beginning tentative first steps here but ukraine hopes it can go a lot further. we have just heard from president zelensky himself talking about who is here, the support they have had. they have signed a communique, a few countries did notjoin, president zelensky said he was not worried by that and he thought when they got higher levels of support they would join, but it was noticeable it was countries like saudi arabia and mexico and others who have spoken out more critically of ukraine who did not sign up. i think it is an important first step and i think president zelensky himself mentioned so many countries were here and he is calling that a great success, but russia and china were not here and there is a long way to go until you can call this a successful summit. here in the uk, the shadow health secretary, wes streeting, has said he would have liked labour to have been more ambitious in its plans for social care in its election manifesto. in an interview this morning, he acknowledged that successive governments of all parties had failed to deal with the problems in the sector. a leading health think tank warned that the nhs is facing its tightest spending for decades and called on all the main parties to be more transparent about that. hannah miller reports. good morning, how are we doing? keir starmer campaigning this weekend, claiming he will get the nhs back on its feet. but that will require more ambitious treatment, says a leading health tank, as it warns both the conservatives and labour that their current manifesto commitments amount to the tightest spending plans in nhs history. with a lack of social care support one of the key reasons the nhs is struggling, today labour had to defend why it has not come up with a clearer plan for reform. today, the man who might be health secretary had to defend why they will be no care. you are still offering people a vague we'll talk about it, we'll maybe fix it in the long—term. i think in being honest with people, that building a national care service is work that is a decade in the making. that is honest and that is where the credibility comes from. i make no bones about the fact, of course on social care i would have wanted the manifesto to be more ambitious, but to get policies in the manifesto, you had to run the gauntlet of answering two fundamental questions — can we keep this promise, can the country afford this promise? the conservatives' plan to limit social care costs to a maximum of £86,000 has been repeatedly delayed, with questions about its funding. but they're still claiming labour have tried to spend more of your morning. i think he has let the cat out of the bag a bit about labour's plans. he confirmed both on your show and one he did earlier that their manifesto was not the whole story — it was not actually a programme for government, it was a document to get them through the election campaign. he confirmed that there are more spending promises to come, and that can only one thing — it means more taxes. that is not really what liberalism. their argument is that they would spend more of economic conditions allow. —— what labour are saying. both labour and the conservatives are signed up to a plan to bring in thousands more staff to the nhs, which would require funding to increase significantly to almost £200 billion by 2028. but this is the level of funding they've allocated in their manifestos — around £20 billion less. the nuffield trust says it amounts to tougher spending plans than even during austerity. the liberal democrats have pledged very slightly more, but still way below what is required. that liberal democrat figure does not include their separately costed plans for free personal care for those who need it. if you don't support family carers, as well as care workers, you are not going to sort this out. and i am absolutely passionate that we will do that. we have come forward with probably the most ambitious agenda on it. i'm really excited about it. and because we have talked about it, we have had a really strong reaction from people. politicians from all parties have said they need to work together to address the social care challenge. the question is who voters trust more and whether anyone will deliver. hannah miller, bbc news. a tactical pause of military activity by the israeli defence forces on a key road in southern gaza has just ended. the halt in operations during daylight hours was to enable humanitarian aid to be delivered to palestinians. aid organisations have repeatedly warned of a humanitarian crisis in gaza. israel has emphasised this is not part of a ceasefire and combat would continue in the city of rafah. the hamas—controlled health ministry in gaza has said that 37,337 people have now been killed since the start of the israeli military offensive. meanwhile, israel has released the names of the eight soldiers killed by a hamas rocket in rafah on saturday — the deadliest incident for its troops in six months. the israeli army said the incident occurred during what it called �*operational activity�* in the city of rafah. the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has said the war should continue regardless. it comes as israel's defence minister is to visit washington shortly to discuss president biden�*s recent ceasefire plan. a short while ago, i spoke tojon donnison about what a tactical pause means. i'm not sure it means too much of a change, really. certainly we have been getting very mixed messages from the israeli military today. we woke up first thing this morning to hear news of this tactical military pause that apparently would take place daily between the hours of eight o'clock in the morning and seven o'clock in the evening, and that was to allow aid to pass in through the kerem shalom crossing from israel into gaza, which is right in the south of gaza, very close to rafah, and then to travel along towards the salah al—din road, which is the main road which stretches right from the north of gaza to the south. however, within about an hour, we had a clarification from the israeli military, who said that this did not mean an end to fighting in rafah or in southern gaza, and we had some very strong comments from israel's national security minister, the hardline right—winger itamar ben—gvir, who said whoever made the decision for a pause in fighting was both evil and a fool. wow, strong words there, then. i mean, one of the main questions is what difference this might make for much—needed humanitarian aid. it is certainly desperat
