me this update. we know a few hours back a group of assailants attacked at least two churches in makhachkala, the capital of the republic of dagestan, and a church and a synagogue in a smaller town not farfrom makhachkala in derbent. the synagogue started burning. in at least one church attack we know a priest was killed. overall we know of of nine killed people at the moment, some policeman who engaged the attackers. we have at least 6—10, sorry, 25 wounded, injured people, we don't know how badly. what are the authorities saying about the attacks, who carried them out? there seems to be some misinformation floating about. there is but there was a counterterrorist operation in both cities, lots of military hardware, armoured vehicles, internal troops involved. the assailants are locked in makhachkala, we don't know how the stand—off continues but a shoot out there at the moment. we definitely know that some of the news, 40—60 hostages in one of the churches, was untrue. that was refuted. but we know one of the priests was killed, not confirmed, apparently had his throat cut. some acknowledgement of what kind of attack that could have been. what does this tell you, famil, about the preparedness of russia for attacks on its soil? just a few months back at the beginning of the year we saw in the attack on crocus city hall near moscow were dozens, hundreds of people, almost 200 were killed. innocent people who just came to watch a concert. what we know, the involvement of muslim tajik migrants in that particular case, and we don't know what new evidence that has come to light. to think ukraine is involved in crocus as they insist. we have seen russia so much involved in the ukrainian war, so much of its force, they did not have enough people or systems, procedures to counter any islamist attack. we know the attack on the crocus city hall, the islamic state announced it was their attack. in this case in makhachkala and derbent we do not know who was behind it so the question still remains, was it connected to islamic terrorists or islamism in general? this is dagestan, islamic republic, the majority of the population are conservative muslims. we don't know what is behind these particular attacks but we know russia in the crocus has a weak point that any islamic famil ismailov. some breaking news to bring you now from saudi arabia. the government has given the first official death toll for this year's hajj pilgrimage to mecca, which took place during an extreme heatwave. the health ministry said at least 1,301 had died during this year's pilgrimage. 83% of those who died were unregistered, meaning they did not have official permits to be there and some of those who died were elderly or chronically ill. health facilities treated nearly half a million pilgrims who had walked long distances in searing heat with no shelter. the health ministry said some are still in hospital receiving treatment. saudi arabia has been criticised for not doing more to make the hajj safer, especially for unregistered pilgrims who have no access to facilities such as air conditioned tents and official hajj transport. temperatures in mecca climbed as high as 51.8 degrees celcius. now the latest on what's happening at one of the uk's busiest airports. manchester airport says flights have resumed after a power cut caused major disruption. there have been huge queues to get in, and some passengers on arriving planes were held on runways for several hours. some flights have been diverted to other airports. it comes at the start of the busy summer holiday season. the airport's managing director has apologised to passengers. alarm blares it started in the dark. a power cut taking manchester airport into shutdown. excited holiday—makers trying to figure out where to go and what to do. you had to trample over people to get out of the lift and then you just stood there. there were just hordes of people not moving anywhere. there was no tannoy announcement, there was no communication, there was no staff to even see nearby anywhere. a big power spike in the airport electrical systems led to the failure, which damaged key electrical equipment and affected security, baggage and check—in. restoring power was complex, with systems failing numerous times. queues quickly built up inside and outside the airport — queues that should be on the runway tarmac now in the car park outside. it's disgusting. it's been cancelled. everything is cancelled. we had a package holiday, the whole hotel, everything has been cancelled. we are stuck here at manchester not knowing how we're going to get to birmingham or go home. we just don't know what to do. people in there with, like, children, young children, they've got nowhere to go. no, it's really bad. it's so bad! some early flights departed when power was restored but did so without bags as they couldn't be loaded, and as cancellations spread through the schedule the airport asked people not to travel here. but by 1pm, the impact was so great the decision came to cancel all flights from terminals one and two. thousands of passengers trying to get away now going nowhere. this has been a nightmare for you today, hasn't it? i couldn't be more sorry for all of the passengers whose journeys have been impacted today. ultimately, i have to maintain their safety and security. so at this stage we don't know what caused the cable to fail. we're going to be looking into the root cause of that next week. our focus today has been on recovering the systems and getting the operation back up and running. as the evening arrives, the focus is now on tomorrow's schedule and securing the holidays that so many tour operators have been forced to cancel or reschedule. the boss insists they will be in good shape but has advised travellers to check before they set out. the peak summer travel period has not even begun. today's incident raises big questions on the resilience of the sector and how the season takes off. simon browning, bbc news, manchester airport. paul charles, who's the ceo of the travel consultancy firm, the pc agency, explained the scale of the disruption. 90000 people were due to arrive and depart today. some 25% of flights were cancelled, so between 25000 and 30,000 people overall were not able to fly, which is hugely embarrassing for an airport that prides itself on the seamlessness of its processes. how big is at the financial impact for everyone affected? for the airport itself, the compensation bill is likely to run into several million pounds. when you're cancelling so many flights, 80—90 flights over a 24—hour period, that is a lot of money lost by the airport. of course, it is also the passengers who are affected, and you heard some of them there. they are angry, quite emotional, understandably, this sort of situation when they have saved up many hundreds or thousands of plans many hundreds or thousands of pounds to travel and can't at the last minute. they will obviously try to seek compensation from their airline and get a refund on the flight that was cancelled or be put on the next available flight, which the airline has to do. but undoubtedly the compensation bill will be several million pounds. talk us through some of the challenges logistically to turn the situation around. and what they'll prioritise. i think first of all it is the right thing to do that at the boss of manchester airport, chris woodroofe is apologising as quickly as possible. he did the right thing, it was a airport's fault that this power cable field, but what needs to be asked is why there was no back—up system. if the fundamental passenger processing systems and computers go down when a power outage occurs, there should be a back—up, failsafe, so that is the first question that needs to be asked. this happened at one end, it is difficult am, it is difficult that time of the morning, 1am, it is hard for them to get hold of all the airlines, all the suppliers at that time in the morning, so what would have been happening as thousands of people starting to turn up who were leaving, departing from manchester this morning, turning up at three or 4am and they would not have heard from their airline that their flight would have been cancelled — normally, they might have got advance notice, but there is no way their airlines would have got the message out at that time of the morning, so that is why the queues were snaking, increasing during the morning. and manchester airport had no choice but to cancel as many flights as possible. paul charles, who's the ceo of the travel consultancy firm, the pc agency. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said the phase of intense fighting against hamas is coming to an end. but he added the war would not finish until the islamist group no longer controls the gaza strip. in the latest fighting, eight palestinians have been killed in an israeli air strike on a training college near gaza city which was being used to distribute aid. witnesses say the strike hit part of a college run by the un palestinian refugee agency unrwa which is providing aid to displaced families. russia has said it holds the united states responsible, after a missile fired by ukraine killed at least five people in occupied crimea. according to moscow, more than a hundred others were injured when missile fragments hit a crowded beach near sevastopol. the governor of crimea, which was annexed by russia in 2014, said four us supplied missiles had been intercepted by air defences but a fifth had detonated in the air. tv footage showed people running from a beach. our security correspondent, gordon corera, told me more about moscow's response to this missile attack on crimea. moscow is claiming that the us and ukraine are responsible for this. ukraine and the us haven't commented on that, but moscow's claim is that five ataka missiles were fired towards crimea. four of them were shot down by air defences, by russian air defences, but one, they say, detonated mid—air, raining shrapnel down on a local beach, and tv footage does show people running away, it appears, in panic from that beach. not likely to have been the target, probably a military target nearby was the intended place where those missiles were heading for. the russian authorities, saying a number of children were among those killed and a large number wounded. significant, i think, that russia is trying to hold the us accountable for this and saying that it was us specialists, as they put it, who programmed the co—ordinates for these missile strikes based on us satellite data. so suggesting that these are us—supplied weapons and the details of how they're used are also coming from washington and the us. even though it's a ukrainian attack, the russian authorities are saying they hold the us responsible and that they'll be raising this with the international community. but as i said, no word from ukraine or washington in response to those russian claims. and of course, president zelensky for a long time has been arguing for more support, more defensive support and also more latitude in how the ukrainians use what's supplied by their allies. yes. the claim from the russians here is that so—called ataka missiles were used. these are supplied by the us and they have a longer range, about 300 kilometres, and they're something ukraine considers very important to be able to hit deeper targets in russian—controlled territory, including russia—annexed crimea, able to hit some of the supply lines and military bases to prevent the russians moving forward. so those are a significant weapon system that ukraine has and has been using. also, ukraine are after air defences because it's being hit as well. kharkiv, the country's second largest city, was hit again today by russian glide bombs, after yesterday a residential building was struck. and so ukraine both calling for those offensive weapons to hit russian lines, but also the defensive weapons it says it needs, such as patriot and other air defence systems to deal with those russian attacks. our security correspondent, gordon corera. now it's time for a look at today's sport with olly. straight to the european championship in germany, where group a will be decided in the next half an hour or so, scotland know that they have to beat hungary to have a realistic chance of reaching the last 16. they're well into the second half in stuttgart and it's 0—0. if the scots win, they would have a good chance of going through as one of the four best third—place finishers. hungary have no points in the group but a win would give them hope as well. pretty scrappy, nervy. hosts germany are already through — but their match in frankfurt against second placed switzerland will decide who goes through as group winners. that's the swiss at the moment dan ndoye with their first—half goal. england's cricketers are the first team through to t20 world cup semi—finals after thrashing the usa by ten wickets in barbados. chrisjordan, who was born on the island, starred with the ball, taking the last four usa wickets in a single over, bowling them out for 115 with a hatrick. england, who are the defending champions, raced to victory in just ten overs. captainjos buttler scored 83 including the winning runs off just 38 deliveries. that boosted their net run rate and they are sure of a place in the semis no matter what happens between west indies and south africa who are also in their group. i thought the team performance was really solid today, really set the tone in the powerplay, we knew they would come hard, play good shots. but we control things in the middle, set up things nicely for us at the back, were able to reap the rewards. to get the hat—trick, obviously well documented, a place i was born, played a much cricket, in front of my family and friends, the atmosphere, the music going and everything. yes, it was special. in the other group in the super 8s — a moment of cricketing history — as afghanistan beat australia for the first time in any format. australia bowled first — pat cummins with a second hat—trick in as many games — the first player to achieve the feat in t20 internationals. mitch marsh is actually the captain. but chasing 149, australia collapsed, losing four wickets for seven runs, eventually bowled out for 127, 21 runs short of their target. that's blown that group wide open, with all four sides still able to reach the semis. australia play india and afghanistan face bangladesh next. with wimbledon starting a week tomorrow, the new world number one tomorrow, the new world number one jannik sinner has won his first title since going top of the rankings. he's the new halle open champion — he beat hubert hurkacz in a close final. he won in staright sets but both went to a tie—break. in london, tommy paul is the new queen's champion — after beating lorenzo musetti. on the women's tour, kazakhstan�*s yulia putintseva has won her first grass court title — beating ajla tomljanovic in straight sets in the final of the birmingham classic. while in berlin, jessica pegula knocked out top seed coco gauff in a rain—affected semifinal — before returning to court to beat anna kalinskaya in three sets to win the title. pegula saved five championship points — before sealing victory. and in formula one, max verstappen has won the spanish grand prix for the third year in a row his seventh victory in ten races this season. starting from second on the grid at circuit de catlunya, verstappen had taken the lead by the third lap — overtaking lando norris. the british driver would go on to finish second and also move up to second in the standings, with fellow brit lewis hamilton third. and that's all the sport for now. no more goals in the games, scotland still drawing, germany still losing, backin still drawing, germany still losing, back in a couple of hours. labour have written to the gambling commission, urging it to release the names of people being investigated in connection with general election betting. it comes after a fourth senior conservative is being reviewed by the commission, following allegations that he placed bets on the timing of the election. our political correspondent harry farley reports. that is fantastic. what has been some of your highlights? all smiles at this event on friday but it has been a difficult week for rishi sunak. four conservatives, including two candidates, are being looked into by the gambling commission. the tories�* chief data officer, nick mason, has taken a leave of absence 11 days from polling day. he is being investigated over alleged bets placed on the timing of the election. he denies any wrongdoing. there are questions if there are more names to come. to your knowledge, home secretary, did any ministers put a bet on the timing of the election? not to my knowledge at all. i have been absolutely clear that, from what i've read, i am not in any way going to defend the actions of these individuals. but i'm also conscious that i don't have the full details. the only organisation that does is the gambling commission and it is right that they take action, whatever the appropriate action. and they have been clear that we should not discuss this. labour were unsurprisingly critical. the issue here is that whether those people who had inside knowledge of what was going on used that information in placing a bet. people across the country will place bets but i think there is genuine disgust. the formerjustice secretary wants those involved suspended. is this what we expect? i think not. i am hurt, it is tough enough without things like this to add to it further. do you think the premise or to suspend people involved? yes, i do. he is not alone in his dismay, look at michael gove in the sunday times, it looks like one rule for them and one rule for us he says. if the allegations are true to is difficult to defend. these are elevations have been bubbling up forfrom more than a week and as the days tick down to decide who occupies this building, drip of names of people being investigated is not what the conservatives won in voters minds as they prepare to cast their ballots. more than four weeks after rishi sunak stepped out to announce the election, its surprise date is still causing controversy. harry farley, bbc news. tim montgomerie is a former editor of conservativehome. he believes the tory campaign hasn't gone well. this has been a disastrous conservative campaign. i'm a conservative supporter, i want the conservatives to be in power. i never expected this general election to change the course of the opinion polls, i expected labour to win. the problem is because the conservative campaign has been so bad, because the conservative soap opera has understandably meant programmes like yours leading with conservative failure, what this campaign hasn't been is what it should be — with labour likely to be the next government, all the opinion polls say that, much more of this campaign should have been spent asking the tough questions of keir starmer, the labour leader, the man who could win the largest parliamentary majority in british history. but because the conservative party hasn't fought a good campaign, because we've had things like the betting scandal, those searching questions of labour, necessary in an election campaign before a government assumes power, haven't been asked, and that's the tragedy of the tory campaign in my view. so if you were advising the prime minister, how would you tell him to try and turn things around in the last couple of weeks? well, he can't. he can't turn things around, in terms of if you're meaning can the conservatives win. that's not going to happen. it's all about the scale of majority that the labour party will win. first thing i would say is he always comes on interviews like with you and he's very co
