political dynasty, leader of indian national congress. before the elections kicked off, their bank accounts were frozen by the government. this is not freezing of the congress party's bank accounts. this is the freezing of indian democracy. congress built a coalition with dozens of other political parties to counter mr modi. they say the prime minister used intimidation to prevent a fair campaign. politicians were raided, chief ministers jailed. initially, the modi campaign was all about promoting his accomplishments, but quickly turned to islamophobic messaging. here, mr modi telling supporters, "if the opposition wins, they will redistribute your wealth and give it to muslims first." they reject claims they're islamophobic, but divisive politics plays to his base. this, by the prime minister of a secular country, and the world's largest democracy. let's speak to our south asia correspondent samira hussain, who's in delhi. it's a mammoth task, isn't it, counting? it it's a

mentioned, the financial markets in india have been rallying strongly in anticipation of another term in office for prime minister narendra modi. we will be live to the main stock exchange in mumbai later in this programme. the israeli army has announced the death of four hostages in gaza. three were israeli nationals and one was a joint british—israeli national, nadav popplewell. their bodies were recovered in southern gaza. all had been taken by hamas during the attack last october. the precise details of their deaths are not known. here's how the israeli military spokesman daniel hagari confirmed the news. today, we shared the devastating news with the families of 85—year—old amiram cooper, one of the founders of kibbutz nir oz, 80—year—old chaim peri from kibbutz nir oz, 80—year—old yoram metzger and 51—year—old israeli and british citizen nadav popplewell from kibbutz nirim — that their loved ones were killed a few months ago during hamas captivity in gaza, and their bodies are still being held by hamas. we assess that the four of them were killed while together in the area of khan younis during our operation there against hamas. the information we confirmed by the relevant bodies after assessing new intelligence that we gathered over the last few weeks. the us says it has submitted a resolution to the un security council calling for the implementation of the three—stage gaza ceasefire and hostage deal unveiled by president biden last week. his peace plan starts with an initial six—week ceasefire leading to an end in the fighting, the freeing of all the hostages and the reconstruction of gaza without hamas in power. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson hears from people inside gaza and in the town of sderot on the israel—gaza border to gauge reaction the price of gaza's war is rising as its cities crumble. the price of peace too high for leaders on both sides. israel said it had bombed more than 50 targets since yesterday. but hamas is still fighting here, and hopes for the new ceasefire deal were mixed. translation: hamas should | raise its demands and seriously adhere to the conditions they set, which are the people's demands. translation: hamas, accept the deal. - it's enough. enough of what we lost. we urge hamas to stop the war. israel's prime minister is negotiating on two fronts. his far right allies say he must continue the war until hamas is destroyed, or they'll bring down the government. he's insisted his conditions for a ceasefire haven't changed. translation: we have gone a long way to return - the hostages while keeping the war�*s objectives in mind, primarily the elimination of hamas. we insist that we will achieve both. it's all part of the plan, not something i've just added. but hamas has said it won't free more hostages without a guarantee the war will end. tonight, israel learned that four more captives were confirmed to have died — chaim peri, yoram metzger, amiram cooper and british israeli nadav popplewell. after almost eight months of war, much of northern gaza lies in ruins, but israel's prime minister is struggling to end the war because he hasn't achieved his war goals. he hasn't brought back all the hostages, he hasn't destroyed hamas. the us president says hamas is no longer capable of carrying out the kind of attack it did on the 7th of october, but israelis living here by the gaza border say they still don't feel safe. this is the last time yarin saw her neighbourhood — trapped in her home in sderot by the gaza border, as hamas gunmen ran through the streets. she and her three children fled tojerusalem the next day. a ceasefire now, she says, won't be enough to send them home. we will free the hostages, but a few years from now your life will be... you will be the next hostages, you will be the next people that get murdered, the women that get raped, all of this will happen again. the ceasefire will kill us. ending this conflict rests with the leaders of israel and hamas, locked in a war for their own survival. lucy williamson, bbc news, sderot. with me is mohamed taha from bbc arabic. good morning. the biden peace plan will go to the un security council today. xft�*et plan will go to the un security council today.— council today. yet indeed, the us is trying — council today. yet indeed, the us is trying to _ council today. yet indeed, the us is trying to get _ us is trying to get international momentum to these proposals. they are trying, by doing this, to make hamas and israel accept the proposals, as it an international effort, not only by biden. it looks like benjamin netanyahu and biden agreed on these proposals, away from the right—wing ministers in israel. benjamin netanyahu's trying by these proposals to achieve by proposals what he couldn't achieve by war, which is returning back the hostages, and eliminating hamas by removing them from power using international and regional forces. but the question is, would hamas really accept these proposals, that does not include permanent ceasefire? that means what happened in november could happen again, which is exchange hostages and then return back to war. part ofthe then

then return back to war. part of the peace plan is to say i then return back to war. part of the peace plan is to say a big increase in humanitarian aid going into gaza. what is the latest on humanitarian aid? humanitarian aid in gaza is really in a dire situation. there is not a single crossing thatis there is not a single crossing that is fully functioning in gaza at the moment. there are 2 million people who need food every single day. 1 million people moved from rafah for the expanding operation, the military operation there. they need tents. they defecate in plastic bags. there are 3000 children under the age of five facing death from malnutrition. half a million child under the age of 15, they didn't have schools for nearly eight months. and there were 80,000 injured people who need medical assistance. there is not a single functioning hospital in gaza. unless there is an agreement somehow to reopen rafah crossing border or make the crossing border working, these people are in a difficult situation. . ~ these people are in a difficult situation. ., ,, , ., ., ., around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. rishi sunak and sir keir starmer will confront each other in their first televised debate of the general election tonight. the two leaders are taking part in an hour long programme on itv, debating some of the key issues facing the uk — and their plans to address them — in front of a live studio audience. meanwhile, the scottish party leaders have clashed in their first televised debate of the election campaign. on stv last night, there were disagreements on the future of oil and gas, austerity, and the legacy of the conservative government. four scottish party leaders got to have their say, but the scottish greens were not invited to take part, a decision they labelled "outrageous". our scotland political correspondent david wallace lockhart was watching. stay with us — as, for the very first time in this campaign, scottish party leaders go head to head in debate. the first scottish election debate. none of these four leaders are personally standing at this election, but an opportunity to pitch to voters nonetheless. in key seats up and down scotland, if everyone who wants to beat the snp votes together for the scottish conservatives, we can end their obsession with independence for good. our country is crying out for change. and after 14 years of tory chaos and failure, this is an opportunity scotland cannot afford to miss. we all know the westminster system is broken. _ it's delivered austerity, brexit and the - cost—of—living crisis. scotland deserves better. i'm asking you to vote snp to put scotland's interests first. | we badly need some hope and a change of direction. well, scottish liberal democrats are all about hope, and we're part of the change that's coming. first topic — the oil and gas sector. well, i'm in favour of a just transition to net zero. and the problem with what anas has set out is that there is a very direct damage going to be done to the oil and gas sector as a consequence of the tax plans that he's put forward, and which the conservatives have put into place. just to make this clear, you support higher taxes for people earning £29,000 a year in scotland — for example, nurses — but not higher taxes, windfall taxes on the oil and gas giants making record profits. are you personally, and the snp, in favour of granting new oil and gas licences? yes or no? i'm in favour of there being a climate compatibility test... why can't you just give a straight answer? - i think what we've just seen here is an example of two parties that have been in power for far too long. the snp and labour will be key rivals at this election. this is good - for scotland, john! you cannot escape the fact that you've signed up to the tories' fiscal agenda. you have said you're desperate to get rid| of this tory government, but all you've done - in this election campaign. is attack the labour party. douglas ross admitted the preparation for liz truss' mini budget wasn't there. and that hadn't been done, and i hold my hands up — i assumed that had been done. the greens called their exclusion from this event outrageous. stv said they were comfortable with their decision. there'll be more arguments, more questions, and more debate to come. david wallace lockhart, bbc news. president biden has said he's proud of his son, hunter, who's gone on trial on criminal gun charges. mr biden said he would not comment on the case, which began with jury selection in delaware on monday. it's the first prosecution in us history for a child of a sitting president. hunter biden denies three criminal charges stemming from his purchase of a handgun in 2018 — the prosecution claim tom bateman sent this update from the courthouse well, five months before a presidential election and a trial here that will throw a very public glare on the personal life and the allegations of drug misuse of the son of the us president. now, hunter biden arrived here first thing this morning along with members of the biden family, including his stepmother, the first lady, jill biden. she satjust behind him at the front of the public gallery in the courtroom all day. i was in the press benches and watched hunter biden turn and glance to his stepmother as the proceedings began. now, at issue here is hunter biden's purchase of a handgun here in wilmington back in 2018. the prosecution says that when he filled in an application form to purchase the gun, he didn't declare that he was a drug user and that was misleading. that was a lie, they say. the defence will argue that he couldn't knowingly have viewed himself, described himself as addicted to illegal drugs at the time. but i think it is the political overtones that will also dominate much of the coverage here, as republicans have tried for a long time to link scandal and allegations surrounding hunter biden to his father. world athletics has announced a new global championship to start in 2026 which will feature the biggest prize fund in the sport's history. named the ultimate championship, it will see world champions... matt graveling has been speaking to world athletics president lord coe. it'll be the top 400 athletes from about 70 countries, and they will be chosen on their ranking position. and this will be different because it will be faster—paced. we're still working on the disciplines, but we won't have every discipline. but you can take it as read that the marquee events — the sprints, the middle distance, the long distance, thejumps, the throws and the relays — will be there. and it also gives us a chance to innovate. and, as you know, there's been some conjecture about some new events that we might be interested in introducing. we will only do that if they road—test well and are additive, not diminishing the sport. you mentioned about giving more power to athletes to promote themselves — things that they haven't been able to do at the olympics. what do you mean by that? what may that include? look, the olympic games can be quite restrictive for an athlete. there are moments where you can self—promote, but they're not possibly as much as the athletes need. this is a very different model. so, tangibly, seb, what does that look like? is that them doing more live streams on instagram? is that selfies from the side of the track? is itjust more freedom around kind of social media content? is that the vision? absolutely. spot on. that's exactly what we want to do. and we have to recognise this is a very social—media—savvy community that we're talking about. this is the landscape that they work in. and we think that, given their own creativity, they can not only promote themselves, but by implication promote our sport, as well. whenever we talk about money coming into sports, all eyes go to saudi. is that something — as somebody who wants to improve the money within the sport — that you'd be looking at, you'd be willing to discuss? something you think may or will happen? it's not only something we're willing to discuss, its something we have discussed. what i was very comforted about when we took this concept out publicly, we had a lot of big cities in pretty much every continent on the globe that showed an interest. stay with us here on bbc news. we will be live to mumbai shortly, where the stock market in india has been rallying in anticipation of the outcome of the general election. the world's biggest. more in a moment. hello there. things are set to turn cooler for the rest of this week as we pick up arctic air, which will spread southwards across the uk during the course of tuesday. so it's going to be pretty disappointingly cool for the time of year, with some really chilly nights to come — gardeners and growers take note — and we'll see a mixture of sunshine and showers. it's all thanks to this area of low pressure pushing southwards out of the arctic, bringing this cold air behind the cold front across the country as you move through tuesday and into wednesday, and thereafter for the rest of the week, this cooler air hangs around with sunshine and showers, mainly across the north of the uk. tuesday starts off mostly dry. variable cloud, a bit of brightness for england and wales. this band of cloud and showery rain will spread south across the country. some of it will be heavy and squally, maybe a few heavy showers ahead of it in east anglia. but skies brightening up across the north of the uk later on behind the rain band, sunshine and blustery showers, but turning chillier here. last of the warmth hanging on ahead of that rain band, which will clear through during tuesday evening. and then we're all into the cooler air, clearer skies, plenty of showers rattling into northern and western areas, some of them heavy, again, with some rumbles of thunder. but a much cooler night to come to start wednesday.

mountains. better chance of staying dry with some sunshine towards the far south and east, but highs of only 17 degrees — low teens further north. factor in the wind, it'll feel cooler than those temperatures suggest. thursday, similar story. most of the showers will be across the northern half of the country, closer to the area of low pressure, better chance of staying dry across parts of wales, the midlands southwards. it could be up to 17 or 18 degrees on thursday afternoon. but again, another chilly one in the north. and you can see why. that area of low pressure just hangs around thursday, even into friday and the weekend, with that blue hue denoting the cooler air hanging around, especially across the northern half of the country. further south in the sunshine, it won't be too bad. may hit the 20 celsius mark as we head into the weekend. some decent spells of strong june sunshine, but it'll feel chilly in the north with further showers. a roller—coaster for india's
