From jenin, Lucy Williamson sent this report. It was a message of force, delivered quietly at first. Israeli soldiers seeking their targets, Street By Palestinian street. By morning, hundreds of troops backed by Armoured Bulldozers had arrived in the Refugee Camps of tulkarem, nablus, tubas, jenin. Home to armed palestinian groups and unarmed civilians. At least ten palestinians have been killed. Hamas says six of them were its fighters. Masoud najjar said he was injured when he opened the door of his house to young men asking for water. Translation we felt like something came down on us from the sky and there was an explosion. I was unaware of what was going on. When i put my hand on my chest, it was all shrapnel and blood. Injenin, Army Vehicles surrounded the citys two main hospitals. Ambulances stopped and checked by militaryjeeps. Israels Foreign Minister has urged his government to use gaza as a model for dealing with armed groups, here saying that iran was backing them and that this was a war for everything that israel must win. The idf and our Security Forces are operating in tulkarem, jenin and other places from which murderous attacks have been launched. We will fight to eliminate terrorism wherever it emerges. Almost 600 palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by israeli forces since the hamas attacks. But fighters here are still presenting israel with new tactics and new threats. Israels army has been targeting the same areas in the same cities, week after week for the past ten months, determined to dismantle the armed palestinian groups based here. Now its launched a wider, more coordinated operation across the West Bank on a scale not seen for 20 years. In al far� a camp, near tubas, mobile Phone Footage showed red Crescent Staff lined up against the wall of their compound in front of israeli troops. Arriving injenin today, the West Bank head of the red crescent. Youve had ten months of these sorts of incursions. How worried are you by whats happening today . Im very much worried because it seems theres a new stage. Theres a new, er. They are escalating, scaling up their operation. When they talk about evacuating civilians and using the Air Force to bombing the camps, this reminds us of gaza. Explosion. As night fell, explosions and gunfire from jenin� s refugee camp. Dusk can be a signal to test the armys control. The war in gaza is changing this conflict. An old front creating new fears in the face of a regional war. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jenin. These strikes come against a backdrop of rising violence by Extremistjewish Settler groups against palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Today, the United States launched another round of sanctions targeting one of those groups. Hashomer yosh is an israeli non governmental organisation that provides support to a settlement outpost. The us accuses the organisation of forcing palestinians to leave the village of khirbet zanuta, and then fencing it off to block their return. A civilian Security Coordinator in the West Bank was also sanctioned for attacking and expelling palestinians from a separate settlement. In response, israel prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said israel takes very seriously the imposition of sanctions on israeli citizens. The issue is under intense discussion with the United States. The here the us, the fbi says it hasnt been able to find a motive for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump last month. It said the Gunman Thomas Crooks had searched extensively online for events that involved both the former president and Joe-biden'>Joe Biden, before settling on the Trump Rally in pennsylvania. Officers said crooks� online activity showed a mixture of ideologies and there was no evidence of any co conspirators. John sudworth reports. The fbi has come in for intense criticism. First and foremost for its failure to protect the former president on the day of the shooting but more recently over its handling of the investigation and evidence. This briefing was in part an attempt by the fbi to push back on some of the more recent criticisms, saying the protocols of evidence have been followed and it is doing all it can to get to be bottom of the motives of the attack. What is interesting is despite hundreds of hours of Video Footage they have trawled through, despite hundreds of interviews carried out, despite the intense scrutiny on the social Media Use and Internet Footprint of Thomas Crookes, they are no clear to establishing a motive. He remains something of an enigma. They say his social Media Use shows a mixture of views, no real clues as to motive. Although there was intensive planning, leading up to the event, the evidence shows Thomas Crookes was searching both republican and democrat events. On the Campaign Trail, the democratic president ial Nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, and her running mate, minnesota governor Tim Walz, are again on the Campaign Trail. Theyre on a two Day Bus Tour in the Battleground State of georgia. The duo is venturing into rural parts of the state to win support in what are traditionally republican strongholds. In 2020, president Joe-biden'>Joe Biden won georgia over republican rival former president Donald Trump by a little over 12,000 votes, thats only a 0. 3 margin. And in 2024, analysts say the Election Race will again be tight. The Harris Walz Tour of georgia is an effort to convince voters in the rural regions as well as the states biggest city atlanta. The tour will end with a rally in savannah on thursday, before harris and walz Sit Down with cnn.

Meanwhile two of mr trumps Campaign Staff are accused of having a Verbal And Physical Altercation with an arlington national Cemetery Official during a wreath laying ceremony that the former president attended earlier this week. Thats according to the media outlet npr. The Trump Campaign denies the allegations saying they had received permission to film there. And on tuesday, the us Justice Department filed new charges against Donald Trump over his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Special Counseljack Smith filed the revised indictment after the Supreme Court made a Landmark Decision injuly that Grants President s immunity for � official acts�. In an exclusive interview with our us partner cbs news, supreme Courtjustice Ketanji brown jackson said she was � concerned� about the top Court Granting Trump broad immunity. I was concerned about a system that appeared to provide immunity for one individual under one set of circumstances. When we had a Criminaljustice System that had ordinarily treated everyone the same. Another busy week in American Politics so let� s talk about some of the issues with our panel. Thank you both for being with me today. Amy, harris and temples are on a Bus Tour through georgia not focusing on the democratic strongholds, sticking to the more rural parts.

I think you see clearly Kamala Harris talked about the compliments on the Biden And Harris administration. She talked about some of the other programmes they put in place and the first 3. 5 years of the administration. At the same time thought about her vision and what she wants to do for the medically and economically she laid out and put out a plan to help improve the Housing Situation in the United States. She thought about her record in the Biden And Harris administration but showing a clear vision which she started out strongly in her convention speech, doing so.

What this is as we are now in the general Election Phase of this campaign, i think clearly with this interview and with danner, will see her setting out her vision and reinforcing issues she thinks matters most. Campaigns are by contrast so she will talk about the contrast with Trump And Vance and what she plans to do. And see what type of leader she will be. What vision she has. Not on the what she is against with a possibility of a trump advanced administration but also what she is for and what she sees the vision for that she sees the vision for that she is laying up the next four years.

Presidential politics are about free media and doing interviews, taking tough and doing interviews, taking tough questions, being in the barrel, tough questions, being in the barrel, Kamala Harris has not done barrel, Kamala Harris has not done an barrel, Kamala Harris has not done an interview since she became done an interview since she became the nominee over 40 days ao became the nominee over 40 days ago since became the nominee over 40 days ago since it became the nominee over 40 days ago since it became apparent she would be the democrat nominee. This interview will be very nominee. This interview will be very interesting. It is interesting to me she could not even interesting to me she could not even do interesting to me she could not even do the first interview so low even do the first interview so low she even do the first interview so low.

Ithink five days after her convention. I think it five days after her convention. I think it is five days after her convention.

She agreed she would do this interview, bring back, don� t to be doing the debate, travelling with her Vice President ial nominee who should be apparent with was a part of the back this is a part of the team and i think Tim Walz as a lot of this ticket and so i don� t see any reason why she would not want to be with her Boss President ial candidate.

The uk� s largest water company, thames water, says it will not survive unless it is allowed to increase Water Bills by almost 60 over a five year period. Ofwat, the water regulation authority, proposed a 23 rise. They said the proposals are unfair and customers. The British Medical Association is calling for swift action from the government to ban flavoured and disposable vapes. Doctors say that children are being targeted with colours, branding and flavours and the so called vaping the Uk Vaping Industry Association agrees that stronger measures are needed, however, they warn that bans could supercharge the black market. 28 year old, josh greally, the man seen on camera throwing objects towards reform leader, nigel farage, during his general election campaign, was given a six Week Prison Sentence suspended for 12 months. He was filmed the following items as he travelled on an open top bus injune. You� re live with bbc news. Millions of people in Southern Africa are being pushed into hunger because of the worst drought in decades. About a third of Southern African countries are on Red Alert having declared emergencies after crops failed. The head of the regional Development Community says up to 68 Million people are in need of assistance, and has launched an appeal for 5. 5 Billion in aid. The bbc� s Shingai Nyoka reports now from mudzi in northern zimbabwe, one of the areas worst affected. The worst drought in living memory is sweeping across the land. Here in mudzi, it� s wiped out over 90 of the crop and put pressure on water supplies. An entire community and their animals gathered to extract the last drops from this river. It normally never runs dry, we were told. Gracious is now walking further, three hours every day, to fetch water, but she fears that sharing a Water Pit with animals could make herfamily sick. I� ve never seen anything like this, she told me. Dry spells are increasing in frequency in this part of the world. Poor families unable to withstand the climate shocks are becoming more and more vulnerable. This is a familiar picture in many rural areas across Southern Africa water bodies that are bone dry. It means that the hundreds of families that used to sustain themselves through rivers like this are now dependent on food aid. Tambudzai mahachi planted acres of maize, cowpeas and peanuts, and harvested nothing. She told me that she often supplies markets in the capital, but this year, she� s among millions of zimbabweans relying on hand outs. Breakfast today is wheat from a neighbour. Translation we have gone from eating what we want and when we want to limiting meals. The older girl understands and accepts that we don� t have enough. But at times i can see that my youngest is hungry. About a third of Southern African countries are on Red Alert, having declared a state of disaster. At least Three Million tonnes of maize is required immediately to meet regional demand. This is the second highest deficit in 15 years, and this is a region where up to 70 of the population relies on agriculture. Meanwhile, it� s getting hotter and drier, and the Hunger Season is yet to peak. And the next rain still months away, there are concerns that families like this might not get the help they need. Shingai nyoka, bbc news, mudzi. A former politician and the Us State Of Nevada is the felt guilty for murder of a journalist. Prosecutors accused him of killing with the german over unflattering articles concerning his behaviour as an elected official they include allegations under fair with a colleague and hostile behaviour. You could face up to life in prison. The founder and Chief Executive of the Messaging App, telegram, pavel durov, has been charged in france as part of an investigation into organised crime. The russian Born Billionaire was released on Bail Set at 5. 5 million, and is not allowed to leave french territory. He faces multiple charges including failing to curb extremist and illegal content on the app, and complicity in the dissemination of child pornography. His lawyer has described the allegations as absurd and said telegram complied fully with european digital regulations. Here� s our technology editor, zoe kleinman. Pavel durov is sometimes described as the Mark Zuckerberg of russia. He was born in the country, but he left in 2014 and these days he� s a citizen of both france and dubai. The Messaging App that he founded is called telegram. And what sets it apart from something like whatsapp is that these enormous groups of up to 200,000 people can share Content And Information on it. Now, the accusations that Mr Durov is facing are extremely serious, and they include running a platform to enable illicit transactions by an organised gang, failing to communicate with the authorities, refusing, in fact, to communicate with the authorities, and complicity in the organised criminal distribution of sexual images of children. Now he� s under formal investigation. This doesn� t mean that he� s guilty, or even that there will necessarily be a trial, but it� s absolutely unprecedented for the founder, the owner of a social network, to be arrested like this because of the content that� s being shared on his platform. And it sparked a really fierce Debate Online about Freedom Of Speech and accountability. Elon musk, who� s the owner of x, which used to be known as twitter, has leapt to his defence. He thinks that he should be completely freed, and he says that Censorship Isjust Moderation under another name. But the president of france, emmanuel macron, said earlier this week that france remained committed to freedom of expression. Let� s look at other important news from around the world.

Stay with us. Hello again. Wednesday brought us some big contrasts in the weather across the uk. Now, for the North And West of the country, we did have a lot of cloud, and that brought some outbreaks of rain at times. You can see that on the combined Satellite And Radar picture. Some of the heaviest rain went into western scotland, where we also had some of the lowest temperatures. For example, in harris, we only had temperatures of 14 degrees. In sharp contrast to that, skipping across these various Weather Fronts, we actually had plenty of sunshine and quite hot weather across East Anglia and south east england, with temperatures peaking at 30 degrees in cambridge. Confirmation, then, that the weather did indeed look a lot cheerier for some. Now, looking at the Weather Picture over the next few hours, we� ve got a cold front whizzing its way eastwards across the country. What that� s essentially doing is it� s bringing cooler and fresher air in across the uk, so it won� t be so hot across eastern areas of england as we look at the forecast in detail for thursday. And for many of us, it� s going to be quite a fresh start to the day. Temperatures even in single figures across parts of eastern scotland. Now for scotland and Northern Ireland, this Weather Front will bring a zone of thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain for a time, followed by some showers into the afternoon. There could be a few showers at times across the northwest of england, maybe across parts of wales, but these few and far between, i think across the midlands, East Anglia, southern england, it� s a largely dry day. Still warm in the sunshine, 23 degrees. Not bad, but it� s not going to be as hot as it was. We� re not going to see temperatures of 30, for example. Then for friday and the weekend, this area of High Pressure is set to move across the uk. The other thing we� ve got to watch out for is the risk of a few showers coming up from france, but for the time being, it looks like they� ll stay away. So friday, plenty of sunshine, just a few showers for orkney and shetland, where it will continue to be quite breezy. Otherwise, temperatures generally in the high teens to low 20s for scotland and Northern Ireland, and about 20 to 23 widely across england and wales. It then starts to get a bit warmer for scotland and Northern Ireland as we start to get a southerly drift, so temperatures more widely will reach the 20s as we go through the weekend. There� ll still be a lot of dry and sunny weather for england and wales. Just an outside chance of a Shower Working in to the coast of southern england. Our temperatures, well, coming up to about 22 in glasgow, so feeling quite a bit warmer here. And a fine weekend, sunday looks good as well. Could see 25 across parts of eastern england, but then some showers around next week. Voiceover this is bbc news.

I� m standing on the Top Of The World in this episode of this cultural life, the Radio 4 programme, Michael Palin reveals his formative influences and experiences, and how it was at university that he first saw a future for himself as a performer. This completely changed my life because there i was, with a slight worry about performing in front of large audiences, performing to full houses every night. Suddenly, there was a little glimpse that perhaps there was a future in just writing and doing comedy. It� s cosy
