region gunfight with the islamic state in iraq and syria. it's a continued balance in this religion, some of it trying to fuel many insurgencies, some terrorists, but this has been an ongoing problem.

a coordinated act, 70 people were involved, it was notjust people were involved, it was not just the few individuals acting on their own, —— so many people, which indicates russia's intelligence is

in addition to the propaganda, though, russia will often do large—scale arrests of individuals from central asia, arrests of individuals from centralasia, really arrests of individuals from central asia, really be willing to throw a lot of innocent people in the hope of finding if you're guilty ones, through the main dealer harass them, then there is much more repression in the region in general. this could be use of military force, assassinations, but russia usually uses a very heavy hand in the circumstances. �*y ., senior fellow with the warfare, irregular threats, and terrorism programme at the centre for strategic and international studies. in his first interview with an israeli tv network since israel's war on hamas began in october, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the phase of intense fighting against the palestinian armed group is coming to an end. netanyahu said that would free up israeli forces to would free up israeli forces to be deployed to the northern border with lebanon, where fighting with the hezbollah armed group has escalated. more than 90,000 israeli residents have evacuated the area amid exchanges of cross—border fire between israeli forces and hezbollah. there are concerns of a wider conflict breaking out in the region. israeli defence minister yoav gallant is here in washington to meet senior us officials. he is expected to discuss the next phase of the war in gaza and the hostilities between israel and hezbollah. mr netanyahu has meanwhile appear to chand on a us—backed deal that would end the war, and which was earlier approved by his war cabinet. he now says he's ready to accept �*a partial deal that will bring some of the hostages home' while the war continues. while a ceasefire in gaza would also help calm tensions with hezbollah, mr netanyahu has said hamas must be destroyed before the war concludes. translation: if there . is an agreement, it will be an agreement according to our terms, and our terms are not to end the war, to leave gaza and leave hamas as it is. i refuse to leave hamas as it is. we need to eliminate it. meanwhile in gaza, eight palestinians were killed sunday in an israeli air strike near gaza city. witnesses say the attack hit part of a college run by the un palestinian refugee agency which was providing aid to displaced families. in the occupied west bank, the israeli military has admitted its forces violated protocol by strapping a wounded palestinian man to a jeep during what it called a "counterterrorism operation" in the city ofjenin on saturday. a warning that viewers may find the video we're about to show distressing. the man in the footage can be seen lying on the bonnet of a vehicle as it drives past two ambulances. we've decided to blur the image. his family said he was injured during the raid by israeli soldiers. the idf confirmed the incident, saying it "violated orders", adding that it would be investigated and dealt with accordingly. sebastian usher has more. the palestinians _ sebastian usher has more. the palestinians will _ sebastian usher has more. tie: palestinians will say what sebastian usher has more. ti2 palestinians will say what is going on in the west bank and has continued to do so any more intense level since war erupted between hamas and gather is very similar in the way the israeli army acts, they say that what these images show, these images that have shocked palestinians certainly and have gone viral is at best a lack of concern for palestinians have been injured. now, the man himself, a palestinian man and his family, have said he was shot and waiting for hospital treatment. the family said they were waiting for ambulances to come. the man has spoken from hospital and said he was there for an hour or two hospital and said he was there foran hour ortwo and hospital and said he was there for an hour or two and also describe the pain that was because when he was strapped on the front of this vehicle, saying it was in the burning heat, so he had that. also the way he was put on it made his injuries all the worst. the extra accusation that this was some form of human shield, we do not have any clarification of that, but certainly this is an accusation that has been made on social media. we have had the un special rapporteur essentially accusing israel of doing this. russia says 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 100 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. 0ur security correspondent, gordon corera, has more on moscow's response. 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 programme 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. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. manchester airport says flights have resumed after a power cut caused major disruption. people waited in long lines, and some airline passengers 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

inquiries into alleged bets placed on the timing of the uk general election, involve more people than those publicly named so far. it comes as the labour party has written to the gambling regulator, urging it to release the names of everyone being investigated. recently it emerged a fourth senior conservative is being reviewed by the commission. the party's chief data officer, nick mason, denies any wrongdoing. here's helen catt. that is fantastic. what's been some of your highlights? rishi sunak�*s party has already tweaked its sales pitch at this election from being all about another term of conservative government to more warnings about labour winning big. but the focus is now being repeatedly pulled away from that message by fresh details about bets allegedly placed by tories on the election date. the home secretary this morning was the latest ministry to face questions about it. to your knowledge, home secretary, did any ministers put a bet on the time of the election? not to my knowledge at all. i haveve been absolutely clear that from what i have read, lam 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. the conservative party's chief data officer nick mason was earlier identified as the fourth conservative being investigated. he has denied wrongdoing and has taken a leave of absence. the bbc understands there are more people with links to the tories and the government being looked into. labour is making sure the questions keep coming. it's now written to the gambling commission, which hasn't named anyone it is investigating, calling on it to identify them all — it says in the public interest. the issue here is whether those people who had insider 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. also in the sunday times today, the levelling up secretary explained why he thinks the investigation is damaging. he said it looked like "one rule for them and one rule for us, so if these allegations are true, it's very difficult to defend". a view echoed by the liberal democrats, who say rishi sunak needs to act. liberal democrats have already called on the prime minister to intervene personally to make sure that every single person who is being investigated is suspended immediately and that he launches a cabinet inquiry investigation. so, too, does this conservative, the former justice secretary. i am deeply, deeply hurt and rather angry that this has happened in the middle of a campaign that is tough enough without things like this to complicate it further. do you think the prime minister ought to suspend the people involved ? yes, i do. there's been a lot of criticism of rishi sunak�*s decision to call this election in the rain, but as it approaches the closing stages, it's the drip—drip of allegations that's doing more damage to the tories' campaign. helen catt, bbc news. kenya's president william ruto has said he will engage with young protestors opposed to the government's plan to hike taxes. the demonstrations, largely led by young people, caught the government off guard. two people died and dozens were injured during thursday's protests in nairobi and several other cities across the country. the government plans to raise $2.6 billion to finance its budget and reduce its debt. more than 100 million americans remain under heat advisory alerts, as temperatures remain stubbornly high across much of the country. this is a heat map from the us national weather service — you can see areas with high temperatures coloured in orange and red spread from coast to coast. a recent analysis of us government data by the associate press showed that 2300 people who died in the us last summer had excessive heat listed on their death certificate — the highest number ever recorded. the advice from authorities is to seek shelter, ideally with air conditioning. but for the hundreds of thousands of americans with no place to call home, that isn't always an option. i spoke earlier to donald whitehead junior, executive director of the national coalition for the homeless. he explained why heatwaves are so dangerous for people living on the streets. the population of unsheltered individuals is actually predominantly people over 55 years of age. and so people at that age level often suffer from respiratory issues, they suffer from insomnia, a number of really, really important and sometimes life—threatening issues, and so there is no protection from this heat. in urban communities, you don't have vegetation or shade from trees or other other kinds of shade that would allow you to have a bit of a respite from those kinds of temperatures, we don't have outdoor drinking fountains so dehydration becomes an issue. let's turn to some other important news around the world. the government of saudi arabia has given the first official death toll for this year's muslim hajj pilgrimage to mecca, which took place during an extreme heatwave. the kingdom's health minister says that 1,301 pilgrims had lost their lives. 83% of them were not registered to join the hajj, he says. unregistered pilgrims oftens don't have access to amenities in saudi arabia, including air conditioned tents. health facilities treated nearly half a million pilgrims, and some are still in hospital for heat exhaustion. eight people in central china's hunan province have been killed after heavy rain caused part of a mountainside to give way,

hitting the north. on friday, nasa and boeing postponed the return of the starliner spacecraft — with two astronauts on board — from the international space station. the launch earlier this month was

target date for starliner to return to earth is still undetermined, a
