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. 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. we're getting reports of a series of attacks in the russian republic of dagestan. two orthodox churches, a synagogue and a police checkpoint were targeted. dagestan has been a target of islamist attacks in the past. six policemen are now reported to have been killed and 12 injured. and state media is reporting that a russian orthodox priest has been killed in the regional capital, makhachkala. unconfirmed reports indicate that two attackers have been shot dead in makhachkala. we'll bring you more as the story develops. here in the uk... thousands of people have been affected by major disruption at the country's third busiest airport, manchester, after a power cut. all flights in and out of terminals one and two were cancelled at one stage. people on flights that did get away were warned their luggage may not be on board, and some inbound services were diverted to other airports. 0ur correspondent simon browning has more. 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. let's speak to paul charles who's the ceo of the travel consultancy firm the pc agency. good evening, thank you forjoining us. just give us a scale of the disruption this has caused. manchester on a normal day is a very busy airport. it is manchester on a normal day is a very busy airport-— busy airport. it is britain's third busy airport. it is britain's third busy airport- — busy airport. it is britain's third busy airport. we _ busy airport. it is britain's third busy airport. we have - busy airport. it is britain's third busy airport. we have not - busy airport. it is britain's third busy airport. we have not hit . busy airport. it is britain's third i busy airport. we have not hit the summer peak — busy airport. we have not hit the summer peak yet, _ busy airport. we have not hit the summer peak yet, but _ busy airport. we have not hit the summer peak yet, but 9000 - busy airport. we have not hit the i summer peak yet, but 9000 people were due to arrive and depart —— 90,000. some 20% 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 sinlessness of its processes. how big is at the financial impact for everyone affected? for how big is at the financial impact for everyone affected?— for everyone affected? for the airort for everyone affected? for the airport itself, _ for everyone affected? for the airport itself, the _ for everyone affected? for the l 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 had 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 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. d0 compensation bill will be several million pounds.— compensation bill will be several million pounds. compensation bill will be several million ounds. , , ., million pounds. do because there are some of the — million pounds. do because there are some of the challenges _ million pounds. do because there are some of the challenges logistically i some of the challenges logistically to turn the situation around. and what they'll part 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 purpose make 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, you feel safe, so that is the first question that needs to be asked. this happened at one end, it is difficult that time of the money, it is harder 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 40 m and they would not have heard from their airline that their flight would have been cancelled —— 3m for 40 and normally, they might have got advance notice, but there is no way their lines would have got the message out at that time of the morning, so that is why the cure is why the kids were sneaking, increasing during the morning. and manchester airport had no choice but to cancel as many flights as possible —— why the queues were sneaking. we possible -- why the queues were sneakinu. ~ ., ., , ., sneaking. we are told they are caettin sneaking. we are told they are getting back — sneaking. we are told they are getting back on _ sneaking. we are told they are getting back on track - sneaking. we are told they are getting back on track and - sneaking. we are told they are | getting back on track and flights will resume and hopefully get back to normal in the next day or so. paul charles, thank you for your time. 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. 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 in the west bank on saturday. a warning — viewers may find the video we're about to show distressing. the man 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. 0ur correpondent sebastian usher is injerusalem and told me more about this incident and the air strike near an unrwa building. we haven't heard anything from the israeli army about what the target might have been. it's palestinian eyewitnesses who were saying that it was an israeli strike, saying that people were going to this centre, run by unwra, to get water, to get coupons, and that as they were there, there was a strike. and the pictures that we've seen, the footage that we've seen shows essentially this low building in ruins. unwra says it's investigating what happened itself. it hasn't yet come to any conclusions, but has reiterated that there have been nearly 190 unwra buildings that have been hit since israel's war against hamas in gaza began, and that more than 190 members of unrwa's staff have been killed, so as far as unwra is concerned, as far as many palestinians are concerned, this is a pattern. they have said from time to time that they believe unwra is actually being targeted. and there's no doubt that israel, the government, the military doesn't hold unwra in very high regard. israel would deny that it is targeting any humanitarian area and that anything which happens of that nature is because a hamas figure is being targeted and, unfortunately, there is collateral damage of civilians nearby. as i say, we haven't yet heard from the israeli army itself on this particular incident. regarding the incident injenin, what sort of questions are being asked about the culture within the idf? well, i think these are questions that have been coming out during the operation in gaza. we've seen a number of videos and images that are being posted by israeli soldiers themselves doing things which don't show, it would seem, respect for palestinians. in their houses, they've posed with lingerie, they have made jokey comments. they've done a number of things of that nature — that's in gaza. now, this incident happened injenin in the occupied west bank. now, palestinians would say that what was going on in the west bank and has continued to do so at a more intense level since war erupted between hamas and israel in gaza is very similar in the way that the israeli army acts. and they would 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 who've been injured. now, the man himself, a palestinian man and his family have said that he was shot and that he was waiting for hospital treatment. the family said that they were waiting for ambulances to come. the man has spoken from hospital and said that he was there for an hour or two hours. he also described the pain that was caused him when he was strapped on the front of this vehicle, saying that it was in the burning heat, so he had that, and also the way that he was put on it made his injuries all the worse. now, the extra accusation that this was some form of human shield, we don't have any clear... we don't have a clarification of that. but certainly this is an accusation that has been made a lot on social media. the un special rapporteur has essentially accused israel of doing this. israel, as you said in your introduction there, has said that what these soldiers did was against army protocol, there's an investigation and that they will be punished if they are found to have gone against that protocol in a serious way. now, israel has said this in many instances beforehand. sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, so there will be a wait to see what happens. but what is clear is that this is another very, very bad video image for israel's reputation, the reputation of its army and the way it operates, notjust in gaza but in the occupied west bank. bastion usher in jerusalem. bastion usher injerusalem. —— sebastian usher injerusalem. a fourth senior conservative is being investigated by the gambling commission over allegations that he placed bets on the timing of the general election. the party's chief data officer, nick mason, denies any wrongdoing. 0ur 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. 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 amongst so many voters that what we are seeing here is pretty shocking behaviour. if you want to know how angry some senior conservatives are, look at this from 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, it's very difficult to defend". 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 controlled. he's almost like an ai prime minister in a way. and, you know, conservative activists i speak to who are looking at the campaign, looking at the prospect of a conservative majority are angry, unhappy, worried. that's what conservative voters feel too. i'd like him to sort of get out of this controlled, almost programmed robotic mode and speak with passion, tell people what's at stake, because what's at stake is for the next five years, christmases could roll by, summers could roll by, and labour will be able to do whatever it wants on immigration, on tax, on schools policy and voters won't be able to make a difference for five years. the next ten days, the next ten days before polling day are the only time we have left to make a difference. i want him to come on programmes like this and make that kind of impassioned plea. it won't change most voters' minds, but it might energise the conservative vote, which is, i think, the only thing he can do at this stage. just finally, then, if there are a couple of issues that you really think that might get people out to vote for the conservatives, what should he be focusing on? i think tax because that's probably the number one, number two and number three policy. i would emphasised, because labour come onto all news programmes, front pages and they complain about underfunding of the nhs, they complain about underfunding of the police, underfunding of defence, whatever. and then when they're asked what they're going to do about it, suddenly they go quiet, the mouth is zipped. and that doesn't make sense, it doesn't add up. switzerland says that ice loss on its glaciers caused by climate change has been less severe this year than of late. experts said the reason was greater snowfall in 2024. they hope that a cool summer might help further, but warn there probably will not be ice gain, and highlighted extreme melting in the past two years. supporters of more than 200 women's rights organisations in france have taken to the streets of paris to protest against the far—right national rally party. it's doing well in opinion polls before next week's elections. demonstrators allege the party will erode women's rights but it denies this. with me is our reporter meghan 0wen. why are they protesting? it is clear there was a lot of anger on the streets of paris today, lots of banners, saying, it not woman her fragile, but their lights, and lots of feminists unite against the far right. what does that mean? —— women are not fragile, but their rights are. they are saying that if the group comes into power, they will incite hate and there are concerns about their policy about abortion. jordan bordello, the parliamentary leader of the party said they will introduce tougher sentences for violence against women, but also they would protect women against what he called a foreign criminal —— foreign criminals. the organiser of today's valley said he was just trying to convince women that the safety problem lies with immigration, which is not true. she said that amongst immigrants, there are a large number of women who vulnerable command feminists will be quick to point out that a lot of the domestic violence in france is happening at home, not because of immigration. today there was a huge emphasis on minority groups, so let's listen to one protester earlier. i'm here because i'm a woman and i don't want my rights to be taken from me because some far right movement wants to take the power in france. and i want also to show that they are not welcome here, and i want to fight for those who can't fight, the people who are from the lgbt. what is the national rally party doing to try to attract female voters? interestingly, quite a contrast to what we saw today on the streets of paris, one study said more women than men voted for the national rally party in a recent european parliamentary elections. because of that, the party is trying desperately to gain votes from those women. feminists are arguing the party is exploiting women's rights to advance their agenda. of course, they are the biggest opponent to president macron�*s pate, the renaissance group, and he believes he is the president most consistently defending women with his policies, but either way, the women and protesters today willjust hope that women and women's rights will be at the forefront of the discussion ahead of the upcoming election. megan, thank you very much. the fate of scotland's national team hangs in the balance today as they face hungary in a crucial group stage match in the euros injust under two hours time. victory in stuttgart could propel them past the group stages of a major competition for the very first time. we'll have more on that game on sportsday next. the euros are well under way but could footballers face competition from high—tech players? these robots have been sampling the beautiful game at the world intelligence expo taking place in the china. they've also been making coffee and doing other human stuff. multi—skilled, you see! companies and engineers in the city of tianjin there have been showing off creations to a sea of curious visitors. i think ronaldo is safer now, don't you? there has been an angry reaction in india to the health ministry cancelling a crucial entrance test with just 12 hours notice. the decision to delay postgrad medical course exams was made after allegations of irregularities and cheating and other nationwide tests. more than 200,000 doctors had registered to take part. the government has been facing growing criticism over what has been seen as a lack of oversight and integrity in handling the tests. stay with us here on bbc news. plenty more for you in the hours ahead. hello there. we've had a taste of summer this weekend, and that summer heat is going to be continuing into the start of next week, but it doesn't mean it's going to be sunny the whole time. many of us saw quite a lot of cloud on sunday. this was the view in gloucestershire. but if you did manage to get that sunshine coming through, well, it definitely looked like a picture postcard here in worthing. now, over the next few days, yes, that heat is going to be building and we will continue to see some sunny spells. a little bit of rain in the forecast is possible. as we head through this evening and overnight, it is going to be a very, very mild night with temperatures quite uncomfortable for some. generally clear skies, maybe a little bit of cloud across some central and eastern areas, and those temperatures maybe not falling any lower than 16 celsius across some southern parts. even further north, nine or ten celsius, still very mild. monday morning, then, might start off with a little bit of mistiness in place. we have this weather front which is just trying to edge into northern ireland, parts of western scotland, so here perhaps a bit more in the way of cloud and some drizzle. plenty of dry and fine weather across northern parts of england and temperatures widely in the mid—20s in celsius, 24, 25 celsius. some parts of aberdeenshire might even make 26 celsius through tomorrow afternoon. pollen levels generally going to be very high across the uk — if you're a hay fever sufferer, you don't need me to tell you that. then as we head through monday and into tuesday, we have this cold front still trying to make its way in. high pressure trying to keep it at bay, but that cold front will eventually bring quite a bit more cloud to many northern parts of the uk. further south, some blue skies coming through. generally it's going to be dry, but that front mayjust give a few showers from scotland extending down into northern england. and you can see the temperature difference where that front comes through. temperatures around 14 celsius here. further south of that front, still 26 to 28 celsius, so feeling quite oppressively hot, certainly getting that way across some southern parts. a change is on the way, though. you can see this area of low pressure just trying to spiral in as we head through wednesday, but it will take its time. so wednesday is looking generally like a mostly dry day with some sunny spells, but it will start to turn wetter as we head towards the end of the week. this is bbc news, the headlines... gunmen have attacked two churches and a synagogue in the southern russian republic of dagestan — six policemen are reported dead and 12 more are believed to be injured. the attackers targeted a synagogue and churches in two cities on the caspian sea. dozens of flights to and from manchester airport have been cancelled due to a major power outage — causing chaos for thousands of passengers. the airport apologised to all those affected and says it expects flights to resume this evening. russia says it holds the united states responsible for a ukrainian missile strike which it claims killed five people in crimea. russell says more than 100 people were injured, which occurred on a crowded beach on sevastopol. a uk government aide has come under fire after using derogatory language to describe the flagship rwanda migrant policy hello and welcome to sportsday. scotland are ready to go on what could be a night of high drama. everybody knows how big a game it is. you can talk and talk
