Be live in the democratic republic of congo, the centre of a mpox outbreak a day after the country received its first vaccines. And the british indie rock band, English Teacher have won their Mercury Prize for their first album, this could be texas. A united Nations Fact finding mission has uncovered what it described as harrowing Human Rights Violations in sudan. The war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has triggered one of the worlds worst humanitarian crises. Thousands of people have been killed and millions forced from their homes. The un team said the violations by both sides since april last year may amount to War Crimes and crimes against humanity. We have found the sudanese warring parties that the Rapid Support Forces, reported a range of violations and as my Fellow Expert will further detail, we find reasonable grounds to believe that many of these Violations Amount to international crimes. Meanwhile the bbc has seen, first hand, the desperate conditions civilians are enduring in sudan. Aid agencies are warning the Hunger Crisis is of historic proportions. Our correspondent nawal al maghafi, has gained rare access to the city of Port Sudan and a key Border Area in neighbouring chad where refugees are still flowing out as Aid Agencies desperately try to get aid in. The faces of the forgotten war. Here in sudan 26 Million people are facing acute hunger. We only get one meal a day, this woman says. In this Displacement Camp in the city of Port Sudan, they are safe from the front lines of the conflict, but life is hard. In another camp nearby, People Queue for water. And most basic right, but here it is a luxury.

And if they escaped the bombs and the bullets, there is another killer, hunger. Hunger is ravaging sudan. In neighbouring chad, these Aid Trucks are lined up and ready to cross into sedan, but its territory held by the Rapid Support Forces, who are fighting the sudanese armed forces. Four months, they have blocked supplies from getting across this key crossing point. They say aid is being stolen by the rsf and buy weapons are being smuggled in as well. Both sides have denied impeding the delivery of humanitarian relief. As ade prepares to go into this border, families are crossing it to escape the war. These refugees arrived five days ago.

Many of those we spoke to are hoping the world and take Notice And Action before its too late. In the uk, the Home Secretary Will chair a meeting of senior ministers, Intelligence Agencies and Law Enforcement bodies to discuss what progress has been made in tackling criminal gangs who smuggle people from france across the english channel. 12 people died on tuesday when their small boat came apart off the french coast. Yvette cooper said this showed the moral imperative of dismantling the gangs. I spoke to Damian Grammaticas and asked whether the number of deaths this week has increased the governments focus on the issue . They have increased the salience of the issue and the general focus on it and yes, the Focus And Pressure on the government to show that it is taking measures to deal with this issue. Of course, it was a big issue in the Run Up to the election, as mark was explaining there. There was the Rwanda Scheme which the conservatives were pushing. The new Labour Government has scrapped that scheme and in its place we are seeing this focus more on Law Enforcement, so what you are getting today is this meeting which brings together, it is quite interesting, it brings together basically all of the senior figures in government, so the prime minister, the Home Secretary who, obviously is overseeing policing and those sorts of matters. Its bringing together the foreign secretary, the justice secretary. Together the foreign secretary, thejustice secretary. So those senior figures, thejustice secretary. So those seniorfigures, along with thejustice secretary. So those senior figures, along with Law Enforcement figures, police, intelligence officials, the justice officials as well, trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. They are saying, as mark was explaining, increasing and focus and resources to that side of things is delivering some benefits, seizing boats and that sort of thing. But as we have been seen, the numbers are still coming across and there are still those deaths, so there is a concern about the need to get on tackling this. Opposition parties, the conservatives have been saying this is a pr stunt, this meeting. It wont deliver particularly new policies. The government for its part says, the previous governments plan, the previous governments plan, the Rwanda Plan that was merely theatre, it was never going to tackle the substance of the issue. And the hope is the sort of operational focus and also indications that they are thinking about talking well with european, cooperation with more European Enforcement agencies that that could stop to deliver results. In the past our president zelensky has urged backers during a meeting in germany to authorise the use of long range missiles to attack targets in russia. Sitting next to the us secretary of defence, who is hosting the talks, Mr Zelensky said this is the only way to bring about an end to the war. He said President Putin did not care about russian land or people and he urged russian soldiers to ask themselves what was more important, peace or putin. The us has announced a new package of aid and the uk says it will provide ukraine with 650 new lightweight missiles. It will be in a Package Worth £162 million. Lets hear from Package Worth £162 million. Lets hearfrom president zelensky, this is him speaking at the start of the conference. We do want to end this war. We do want to end this war. We want this, we want to save our people first of all, our country and it is putin who doesnt want peace and he is obsessed with territorial conquests. He wants our cities all the ribbons that remain of them. And that is why we need strength. We need to force russia to seek peace. We need to make russia see this and even russian soldiers think about what they need, peace or putin. � ,. Putin. And he is the us Defence Chief announcing putin. And he is the us Defence Chief announcing the putin. And he is the us Defence Chief announcing the additional| chief announcing the additional support from the united states. If tyrants think that they can invade if tyrants think that they can invade their peaceful neighbours, we will all be less secure neighbours, we will all be less secure if neighbours, we will all be less secure. If autocrats conclude that secure. If autocrats conclude that nations of goodwill will lose that nations of goodwill will lose their nerve and the our principles lose their nerve and the our principles are world will become far more dangerous. So make become far more dangerous. So make no become far more dangerous. So make no mistake, if ukraine is not free make no mistake, if ukraine is not free the world is not safe. So not free the world is not safe. 50 words. Not free the world is not safe. So words, supportive words from lloyd austin. Lets speak to our ukraine corresspondent. Very supportive Speech But President zelensky is clear about the military Aid Ukraine Need . ,. , about the military Aid Ukraine Need . , , need . Good morning, yes he absolutely need . Good morning, yes he absolutely is. Need . Good morning, yes he absolutely is. This need . Good morning, yes he absolutely is. This is absolutely is. This is significant because there have been more than 20 of these meetings held in West Germany at this american military base. But this is the first time president zelensky has gone there in person. Previously he has appeared by Video Link up, so it is a big trip for him. Like every trippy make through this country with the Security Risk that involves. He has taken this message to his key allies, notably the americans. What he said this morning is his western parties need to ignore what he described as President Putins red lines. So in other words, nato allies need to do much more. Interestingly, the americans are stressing today this is about providing more defensive support, particularly to thwart some of the ongoing russian air attacks, but president zelensky is saying no, the focus has to be on these long range missiles because we had the president just there and he said the whole key to bringing about peaceis whole key to bringing about peace is to ukraine using these longer range missiles which will hit further into russia and if more pressure is applied on President Putin, that is how you bring him to the negotiating table. I ust ex lain negotiating table. I ust explain why fl negotiating table. I ust explain why that i negotiating table. I ust explain why that is i negotiating table. I just explain why that is a i explain why that is a controversial aspect . This has been the concern controversial aspect . This has been the concern that controversial aspect . This has been the concern that the i been the concern that the western allies have had really for the past two and a half years, since the outset of russias full Scale Invasion of this country. And the thinking is, the retaliation from the west, if it goes over a certain line, whether you call up President Putins red lines or something the western partners are comfortable with, does it trigger a bigger conflict . There has been lots of talk of potential escalation, conversations about the use of nuclear weapons, even if they are tactical nuclear weapons, relatively smaller ones in a more focused part of the battlefield. But the us, the uk and other European Countries are worried about this, so it remains a concern that something might happen that creates an escalation. President zelensky sein, you need to be bold, this is the time for action, greater support for this country and he points to a difficult two Weeks Ukraine has suffered. There was the biggest missile and Drone Strike they have its been since the war began two and a half years ago. And then this crippling attack midweek in the centre of the country when more than 50 people were killed in this double ballistic Missile Strike that caused huge damage at this military academy. So for all these reasons, president zelensky says words are great, the ongoing Military And Defence assistance is most welcome, but the us and others really need to go further to protect ukraine and bring this war eventually to an end. Mick war eventually to an end. Nick beake in kyiv, war eventually to an end. Nick beake in kyiv, Thank War eventually to an end. Nick beake in kyiv, thank you. I war eventually to an end. Nick beake in kyiv, thank you. Lets go to our correspondent for radio free europe, Radio Liberty who is at the airbase where the conference is taking place. As we were hearing, this is the first time that president zelensky has appeared at one these conferences in person, clearly this is a meeting that he believes is very important and is wanting to get these agreements, wanting to get his backers on side . ,. ,. , side . Right, greetings to you. This is not side . Right, greetings to you. This is not the side . Right, greetings to you. This is not the first side . Right, greetings to you. This is not the first time i this is not the first time president zelenskyjoined the meeting in person because sometimes it takes place in brussels and he already attended those meetings. Speaking of germany, particularly, yes, he is here for the first time and he was addressing the message to the partners that the time is right and ukraine has to prevent the invasion from the Kursk Region and that is why it wants a full on incursion. He was appealing to the partners to provide ukraine with more missiles and more weapons. He was saying ukraine is still waiting for the packages that have not been delivered at this moment. He was also explained to the Minister Of Defence of the countries that are part of the meeting, that ukraine is expecting more ammunition and missiles and that is critical for ukraine. He was also offering to stop russia this autumn and he is waiting for the response. Autumn and he is waiting for the response. Take us through the response. Take us through the schedule the response.

That is the part the media is not allowed to hear thank you. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. You are watching bbc news. At least 17 children have died after a fire swept through their primary School Dormitory of a central kenya. Police said the blaze at the academy broke out about midnight engulfing rooms where the children were sleeping. These are the latest images. Others have been taken to hospital with serious injuries. Police said the average age of the victims was around nine years old. The cause of the fire is still not clear. The Israeli Army has withdrawn from the West Bank after a ten day operation. More than 30 people died during what the israeli military called a counterterrorism operation. The funerals for some of those killed have been taking place injenin. Israeli forces launched the operation at the end of august. Residents have started returning to their homes in the northern West Bank. Lucy williamson sent this update from jenin. Isreal� s troops and bulldozers have leftjenin now, but the impact they have had is written all across The Street here. This camp was the heart of israels sweep across the northern West Bank. They were here for nine and a half days and this morning is the first time that residents here have been able to leave their homes, see the destruction around them or, in some cases, actually come back to homes they had fled days ago. Israel says this was a Counterterrorist Operation and its clear that its target was the armed palestinian groups that are based here, but the methods it using are what is raising alarm. And that doesntjust mean the civilians killed and injured, but the levels of destruction that are wrecking peoples lives. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jenin camp. The European Unions climate monitor said during the last three months the globe experienced the hottestjune and august ever recorded and the hottest day on record. A report from The Agency said that 2024 so the highest temperatures ever recorded for the northern hemispheres summer, beating last years record. The report suggests this string of Record Temperatures increases the likelihood of twenty20 for being the hottest year on record. To speak to us about the report is Rob Thompson from the report is Rob Thompson from the university of reading. Thank you forjoining us at bbc news. What is your reaction to the report . It looks like this Years Year will be record breaking, even more so than last years, which was also record breaking . Than last years, which was also recordbreaking . Yes, looks like also recordbreaking . Yes, looks like we also recordbreaking . Yes, looks like we will also recordbreaking . Yes, looks like we will almost i looks like we will almost certain break the record. It would need an unprecedented amount of cooling down again over the next few months to not break the annual record. We are almost certain to break the record. There are reasons, obviously Global Warming is obviously Global Warming is obviously a factor but we have also had an El Nino, which is a system that, Big Global System that pushes warm Sea Water up in the pacific towards the east of the pacific. It warms the entire globe a little bit, but enough that it can really make a difference, enough to set records and so on. We are probably at a point where the upward trend followed by the extra peak from upward trend followed by the Extra Peakfrom el upward trend followed by the extra peak from El Nino upward trend followed by the Extra PeakfromEl Nino is likely what is causing us to set the records. But we have to remember we always have the ups and downs, El Nino is always happen if the upward trend that is a threat to us, i suppose, as humanity. Is a threat to us, i suppose, as humanity is a threat to us, i suppose, as humanity. We have ust seen some Pictures H as humanity. We have ust seen some pictures and i as humanity.

We have just had the coldest summer for have just had the coldest summerfor nine years. It have just had the coldest summer for nine years. It was the coldest Summerfor Summer for nine years. It was the coldest summer for nine years and yet still a good chunk above what would have been average in this 60s, 70s and 80s. It was a warm summer in comparison to longer term trends. We feel cold, but the rest of the world has not really been like that. Most of europe has been quite hot, canada, mexico, parts of the antarctic have been unusually hot and China And Japan have had incredible Heat Waves recently and australia. Really, the whole world has been suffering pretty bad Heat Waves and very extreme weather as well. Partly a result of the extra temperature, more energy and everything. We see things like the sicilian thunderstorms that sank the super yacht, all these things are related, more energy in the system, more extreme weather is another result of these global higher temperatures, more energy left to create all sorts of weather.

Hello, it is a day a big Contrast North to south across the uk. Heavy showers and thunderstorms in the south but for many others, warm sunshine. It will feel humid but do watch out for Heavy Rain which may bring some localised flooding and rumbles of thunder for southern England And South wales. And the satellite you can see the Swirling Mass of clouds marking an area of low pressure over the Bay Of Biscay and throwing humid air to others and heavy downpours. Easterly breeze further north, so any Mist And Fog through this morning clearing away and lots of long spells of sunshine for many areas and it will feel warm and humid. 25, 20 6 degrees for the likes of us in scotland, North West England as well. Close to the East Coast where you have the breeze coming in off the sea. Heavy showers and thunderstorms will eventually start to ease away from southern England And South wales and there could be the Odd Spot of drizzle. Further north, Mist Patches in the cloud so america started saturday and temperatures in the mid teens. Moist, humid air as we head into the weekend. We have an area of low pressure to the south on saturday. But a little bit of a quieter day. Not as many showers coming in, compared to the Heavy Rain of today of today and yesterday. A fair amount of cloud and low Cloud And Mist in the north and the east. That should break up so for most places not a bad day and improving picture and some lovely warm Sunshine And Light winds in Northern Ireland, just scotland, Northern England and wales. Further south we have the cloud hanging on for the south of wales and southern indian, bringing a few showers. More showers as we head into sunday. They will be working their way north across england and wales and the could be the Odd Rumble of thunder but the showers will be and there will be warm spells of sunshine in between. Scotland and Northern Ireland having a settled day. Temperature is not as warm as today but hides up to about 22 degrees so the warm air that has been with that as we head into next week will be shifted towards the South And East as we will open the doors for a more north Westerly Airflow and that will bring a colder Air Mass and the change to the weather. So another few warm and humid days and with the Heavy Rain in the south but into next week, a drop in temperature but with a mix of sunny spells and scattered, blustery showers. Goodbye.
