israel's military said its fighter jets struck "two hamas military infrastructure sites" in the area. meanwhile, the european union's foreign affairs chief, josep borrell, called for an "independent investigation" into israeli shelling that damaged the gaza office of the international committee of the red cross on friday. jordan condemned what it called israel's "systematic targeting" of civilians and aid agencies. meanwhile, in tel aviv, tens of thousands of people attended what organisers said was the biggest anti—government protest since the war began. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is under continued public pressure as the families of 116 hostages held by hamas in gaza plead for a ceasefire. our middle east correspondent yolande knell this has more on saturday's strikes. there have been more deadly strikes on different neighbourhoods of gaza city. in al—sharti camp, large strikes there. you can see these dark plumes of smoke in social media videos, several homes flattened, shocked people rushing to help the casualties who are at the scene. and there has been speculation in isreali media that a senior hamas commander was being targeted, but the official israeli military statement only talks about hamas structures being targeted. the israeli military has also put out a statement saying that there was not a direct attack on an international committee of the red cross, a facility in rafah, a day ago. that is where at least 22 people were killed according to the red cross, when there was shelling on a tent camp for displaced people, and the red cross office nearby was also damaged. to the north of here, on the israel— lebanon border, tensions remain high. israel- lebanon border, tensions remain high. there has been an intensification -

video of the deadly drone strike they say was on his car. as the war in gaza continues, many palestinians are trying their utmost to leave. the only way out is via neighbouring egypt — but for the vast majority of palestinians, exiting gaza via that avenue is an arduous and costly endevaour.earlier i spoke to new york times reporter, adam rasgon. he's been covering the challenges people face when trying to flee the enclave. thank you for being with us on bbc news. you are reporting details, the legs that some people are going to to get out of gaza. talk to us more about what you have found out. thank ou for what you have found out. thank you for having _ what you have found out. thank you for having me. _ what you have found out. thank you for having me. so _ what you have found out. thank you for having me. so i - what you have found out. thank you for having me. so i started| you for having me. so i started reporting this story several months ago and basically i spoke to several palestinians, both inside gaza and outside, who were either trying to help themselves or help family members or friends live gaza. it is an incredibly arduous path, some people since the start of the conflict have been able to leave because they are sick or injured, because of connections to foreign governments, organisations, and through other pathways, but for the vast majority of the population in gaza, the only way out, at least for the past many months, has been through this one company which is an egyptian company, named hella. we were told by several people that we spoke to who went through this process of trying to leave through the egyptian company, that most individuals who were above the age of 16, they would pay $5,000 in order to get out. and for most individuals, below the age of 16, they would pay $2500. an individual who is tied to the company that is facilitating this process disputed that, saying that everyone who is an aduu saying that everyone who is an adult would pay $2500 and everyone who is a child wouldn't pay at all. but all the people we spoke to for this story, and it was at least a dozen individuals, said they indeed paid $5,000 and $2500, depending on their ages. whichever way you look at it, these are large sums of money. i would imagine that is unaffordable for many people there in gaza, so how are people going about getting that money together?— money together? some people have saved _ money together? some people have saved up _ money together? some people have saved up money, - money together? some people have saved up money, you - money together? some people i have saved up money, you know, before the war, and a well—connected individuals who can bring forward the money that they have. but for much of gaza, which is impoverished and people will have a 22 even buy food or other basic goods, they to gofundme, which is a crowdfunding platform. many of these people have reached out to networks and contacts abroad in order to get their pages built, to — to market them, and to promote them, and try to raise as much money as they can. but it is an extremely expensive endeavour in order to leave and families that are often 20 and 30 individuals, instead of families trying to leave altogether, having to raise tens of thousands of dollars in order to leave. just on the point _ dollars in order to leave. just on the point of _ dollars in order to leave. just on the point of the _ dollars in order to leave. just on the point of the crossing, it is near to rafah where we know there have been ground operations ongoing. has that impacted it?— operations ongoing. has that impacted it? yes, on may six, israel invaded _ impacted it? yes, on may six, israel invaded rafah _ impacted it? yes, on may six, israel invaded rafah and - impacted it? yes, on may six, israel invaded rafah and took| israel invaded rafah and took over the rafah crossing, overnight, between and may seven. since that happened, the crossing has been shut down. the body has been able to travel through the crossing from gaza into egypt. and we recently saw footage from the crossing showed that many of the primary facilities, including its main terminal, had been severely damaged. and it appears that they will sort of need to establish some of the facility or bring in some makeshift, you know, facilities, or — or — or — undertake a serious renovation before they will be able to reopen it. before they will be able to redpen it— reopen it. just for clarity, are there _ reopen it. just for clarity, are there other— reopen it. just for clarity, are there other routes . reopen it. just for clarity, j are there other routes for people to get out?- are there other routes for people to get out? israel has allowed an — people to get out? israel has allowed an extremely - people to get out? israel has allowed an extremely small i allowed an extremely small number of palestinians to either travel through its territory or to go to its territory, so virtually for the overwhelming majority, if not always very present in gaza, the only route out is through egypt. so as long as that crossing is shut, most people are trapped in gaza, at least individuals who are desiring to leave the wall. to the war in ukraine now, where local officials says a russian attack on ukraine's second—largest city of kharkiv has killed at least three people and injured nearly a0 others. meanwhile, ukraine's energy facilities endured a massive overnight attack. it's the eighth time russia has targeted the country's energy infrastructure in the past three months, ukraine's energy minister said. the attacks come as a new report by the advocacy group human rights watch says russian authorities are violating the laws of armed conflict by imposing a russian curriculum and propaganda in ukrainian schools in occupied areas. the report alleges that russian officials have retaliated against school workers who refuse to make changes to curriculum, with threats, detention, and even torture. to speak more about the report, i spoke to rachel denber. she's the deputy director of the europe and central asian division at human rights watch. we —— just tell us more about what ukrainian schooljobs are being taught. the what ukrainian school “obs are being taught. the russian authorities _ being taught. the russian authorities are _ being taught. the russian authorities are imposing l being taught. the russian l authorities are imposing the russian state curriculum in schools and areas that russia is occupying, and that includes the use of textbooks and other materials, that include just place and falsification of history, distortions of history, distortions of history, about ukraine's history, about ukraine's history, the deny the existence of ukraine is a state, today is basically the existence of ukraine is a culture, the ukrainian language. it was all kinds of distortions about the currently ongoing war. it denies that russia has invaded ukraine. it includes maps and other representations that show occupied areas — areas that russia is occupying of ukraine as parts of russia, and other distortions.— as parts of russia, and other distortions. ., ., distortions. so, rachel, among all of those _ distortions. so, rachel, among all of those different _ distortions. so, rachel, among all of those different areas, - all of those different areas, if staff say they don't want to comply, i understand that your report you have been speaking to them and they face retaliation. what have they been telling you about what they have had to face? well, staff who _ they have had to face? well, staff who refused _ they have had to face? well, staff who refused to - they have had to face? well, i staff who refused to co-operate staff who refused to co—operate in any way with russian authorities in — in occupied areas based detention, harassment, beatings, torture, and expulsion. we spoke to a number of teachers — a number of education workers who were outright expelled from these occupied areas after they were detained and severely threatened. we talk to one school principal who tried to prevent occupying authorities from getting the school data, trying to protect the students and teachers, and they tortured him for days with beatings and electric shocks and the like. and it's important to point out there are also international laws on this when it comes to conflict, isn't it? tell us more about that.- conflict, isn't it? tell us more about that. that's right. first, by imposing _ more about that. that's right. first, by imposing the - more about that. that's right. | first, by imposing the russian state curriculum, russia is actually violating laws of armed conflict, which says when one state occupies another warring party, they are not allowed to change the laws, and thatis allowed to change the laws, and that is what russian has done here. they change the laws. in the are denying ukrainian children their rights under several international conventions, the right to language, traditional language and culture, and national values. the russian occupation authorities are also burning, you know, ukrainian parents from having their children stunning ukrainian state curriculum online, banning them and threatening them that if their children studying the ukrainian curriculum online that they will take the children away from them, they will take them to an orphanage, and other threats like that. what i found interesting in your report was that it also details children undergoing military training, as part of the curriculum. tell us more about that. is that with a view to them being drafted into the russian military?— russian military? well, it is with a view _ russian military? well, it is with a view - _ russian military? well, it is with a view - there - russian military? well, it is with a view - there trying i russian military? well, it isj with a view - there trying to with a view — there trying to indoctrinate these children into having certain feelings about duty to russia, which is, of course, completely in violation of international law. not to mention just while. in some classes they offer training, particularly in the upper classes, for boys. —— vile. especially in training of the use of weapons. and whether it — whether they plan to conscript these children or not, eventually, russia has been constricting ukrainian people who are ukrainian citizens into the russian military in areas that they are occupying. they have been occupying. they have been occupying crimea since 2014 and they have been constricting people, many people in crimea, to serve in the russian military, and other areas where russia is occupying their play all other kinds of pressure to get people who are ukrainian citizens to serve in the russian military. gang violence in haiti has now displaced more than half a million people. that's according to a un report released this week, highlighting what it calls "spiralling violence" in the carribean nation. armed gangs control large parts of the capital port—au—prince — but clashes are also on the rise in the country's north. the un says many of the displaced are living in areas with limited access to basic services like clean water. the un's migration agency says nearly 580,000 people are now internally displaced across haiti — that represents a 60% increase since march of this year. and finding safety outside haiti's borders is a challenge. the neighboring dominican republic has built a 250—mile border wall, while its government deported at least 175,000 haitians last year alone. for more i've been speaking with philippe branchat with the un's international organization for migration in haiti. philippe, welcome to the programme. describe firstly, if you will, the impact that you are seeing of the violence right now. the violence has been quite traumatic since the end of february, beginning of march, with an increase of synchronised attacks from the gangs which generated massive displacement. already the situation was bad. 360,000 displaced and what has been significantly different is the widespread displacement throughout the country, putting a lot of pressure on public services, on education, schools. this so the people in the south are now supporting half of the idps there and they do not have the capacity to support for longer. 0ur concern is to see the capacity to absorb such populations being severely eroded in the coming weeks, months and the situation not improving. if i could just ask you, what kind of conditions are people living in, those who are internally displaced, when they go to other provinces? over 90% are living with families or with communities, so the level of exposure is much less then the idps that are now in sight of the biggest majority in port—au—prince, where they are being exposed to all the violence you can imagine. violence from the gangs, violence from... any kind of violence. sanitation, hygiene, also, and food, and we are entering the hurricane season. haiti, but the south particularly, has often been hit by weather disasters and this year will be a tough one, because all the forecasts are announcing double significant events for this coming season. the situation is dramatic. the situation can be even worse in the coming weeks, months if we do not pull together the development and humanitarian activists working to increase the capacity of the state services. i do want to ask you, there is a change in police leadership, a transitional government which has been installed. do you think that will change the situation at all? what are the prospects of bringing the situation under control? it's a complex situation. we are talking about decades of crisis, development crisis and government crisis also. so the situation will notjust improve with the arrival of the multinational support to security. it will take time and we are concerned that there will be more displacement generated by the increase capacity to engage the gangs. —— increased capacity of the hnp to engage. while there are positive signs like the establishment of the new government that could give some kind of big enthusiasm within the ranks, and this is very much needed. the us supreme court upheld a law that prevents people with domestic violence restraining orders from owning a gun. the case was brought by a texas drug dealer who threatened to shoot his girlfriend if she reported he assaulted her. after she received a restraining order against the man, his guns were taken away and he argued that it was a violation of his second amendment right to bear arms. the supreme court ruled against this in an eight to one vote and said the constitution does permit laws that prevent people who are deemed dangerous to own guns from owning guns. this ruling is a rare legal victory for those in favor of gun restrictions and is the first major ruling since 2022 when the court expanded the right to bear arms. for more on this, i spoke to crystaljustice, the chief external affairs officer at the national domestic violence hotline. crystal, thank you for being with us on bbc news. as you know, yesterday, the supreme court ruled to uphold a law disarming domestic abusers. what was your reaction to that news? we were relieved at the decision and that the supreme court overturned the fifth circuit court's ruling and upheld this constitutionality of ensuring that firearms are not in the hands of abusive partners when there is a protection order in the situation. with this ruling, the supreme court has saved thousands of lives and protected survivors, so we are relieved and we also affirmed they should have never been up for debate in the first place. relief, but i'm sure the work in your organisation and the hotline goes on. just sketch out the number of people calling the prevalence of people facing domestic violence, including being threatened with a weapon in their own homes? it's important to know domestic violence is a public health crisis, it impacts ten million americans every year, it is a global crisis as well and so we are deeply concerned. we are experiencing a record inbound calls, texts from people experiencing domestic violence every day, nearly 3000 calls a day and we are seeing the rise of domestic violence both in the escalation and severity of abuse and the frequency of abuse. we not only need to see protections like this upheld, we need to see better protections in the united states and a call for the end of domestic violence in the us. that is troubling, the fact you say you are seeing a rise in domestic abuse. do you and your colleagues have any idea why that might be? i think domestic violence has always been prevalent but we see, like the fifth circuit court ruling or attacks on reproductive rights or the rights of survivors and protections being rolled back which creates barriers for survivors to access safety and actually emboldens abusive partners and puts more tools in their tool box to cause harm and control and harass their victims. from what you are saying, there appears to be a link here between key court rulings on what people are experiencing behind closed doors. absolutely. and in the months that followed the fifth circuit court ruling, we experienced a 40% increase in those reporting being harassed or the use of firearms in their abusive relationship to control or harm them. that was across the united states. in the three states impacted, it was even more significant. when we saw with the reversal of roe versus wade, in the dobbs decision, we saw almost a doubling of those reporting reproductive coercion, which is abusive partners attempting to control the reproductive futures of their victims. and so yes, these decisions that are being made by scotus and courts across the country are having a deep and profound impact on those who are experiencing domestic violence. crystal, you called this, at the beginning of this interview, a public health emergency, a crisis. what needs to happen? we need to do more. we are greatly underfunded in the united states. the response to domestic violence is under resourced, the demand for services is overwhelmed. we have seen an overreliance on law enforcement, we need more community solutions. we need to see better laws and protections, we need congress to close the boyfriend loophole. you know, this — scotus protecting — reversing the decision and taking firearms out of the hands of abusive partners is important. congress can take this further by closing the boyfriend loophole. there is a loophole in the law where we basically are not defining what an intimate partner or boyfriend is, and so through this loophole, we see that an intimate partner labelled a boyfriend could access a firearm, because it doesn't fit the definition of that in the bill, it would be a very simple change. we have been calling on this for many, many years, the field has been demanding that congress close the boyfriend loophole. we saw it partially closed with the safer communities act, but it needs to be fully closed. let's turn to some other important news around the world. egypt says it'll put the directors of 16 travel agencies on trial for organising illegal hajj pilgrimages. more than a million muslims make the journey to mecca annually, but this year more than 1000 people have so far reportedly died — many because of searing temperatures of over 50 degrees celsius. in france, a rehearsal for the paris 0lympics opening ceremony planned for monday has been postponed due to heavy rain. authorities say the river seine is currently flowing at a level five times stronger than its normal summer reading. the rehearsals have been highly anticipated as paris 2024 will be the first olympics in history to take the opening ceremony out of its traditional setting of a stadium. now, taylor swift's record—breaking eras tour continues in london this weekend with an estimated 700,000 swifties heading to the capital across her eight dates, bringing a major boost to the economy. well, among the crowd last night was prince william and his children prince george and princess charlotte. this selfie was posted on the prince of wales' official instagram, while taylor swift shared another on hers also featuring her boyfriend, american footballer travis kelce. the future king was also spotted shaking it off in true swiftie style as he celebrated his 42nd birthday at the concert. i will have more for you at the top of the hour or you can find out more on our website. that is bbc-com- — out more on our website. that is

of the summer so far. 24 celsius was our top temperature on saturday, but over the next few days, as this warm and rather humid air surges northwards, we can expect higher temperatures than that, perhaps into the high 20s celsius. some good spells of sunshine, but not necessarily clear blue skies all the time. there will be some areas of cloud. indeed, on sunday mornings, some areas of cloud, mist and murk for parts of western england and wales, particularly over some of the hills and around some of the coasts. we'll keep some patches of cloud through the day on sunday. sea breezes developing around some of the coasts. northern ireland having a nice—looking day, spells of sunshine. similar story for scotland, although a little bit breezy in the western isles — 16 celsius for stornoway, but more generally 19 to 25 celsius, a very warm—feeling day. and quite a warm night, actually, sunday night into monday. still some areas of cloud, a bit of mist and murk here and there, but those temperatures in the centre of london, no lower than 15 degrees, maybe getting down to ten in aberdeen and glasgow and in newcastle. but with this area of high pressure in charge for monday, it's going to be mainly dry and actually even warmer. this frontal system out to the west — we'll have to keep an eye on that — will start to bring a little bit more cloud, i think, into parts of northern ireland and western scotland with just a small chance for a shower. but elsewhere, some spells of sunshine, a bit of patchy cloud at times. but look at the temperatures — 24 for parts of northern ireland, 26 in northern scotland, across england and wales, widely into the mid—20s, 27 or 28 across the southeast corner. now through monday night into tuesday, that weather front in the west will start to make inroads — more cloud, perhaps some outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, parts of scotland, maybe into the north of england as well. so here a little bit cooler for tuesday, but further south and east, if anything, those temperatures climbing further, 28, perhaps 29 celsius. now, the big uncertainty in our weather story is about how quickly things will change, because it looks like our area of high pressure will loosen its grip, fronts pushing in from the west, low pressure drifting up from the south. one or both of those features will bring something more unsettled and a little bit cooler by the end of the week, but there is huge uncertainty about how quickly that change will take place and before it does some very warm weather on the way. voice-over:
