Aysenur eygi had been taking part in a protest in the northern west bank. It was organised, one of many taking place in recent weeks to protest against the increased expansion of settlements in the west bank and it is said by local media israeli police had opened fire on those taking part in the demonstration and also used stun grenades and tear gas to try and put a stop to it and during this the young american was hit in the head by a bullet. She was taken to a hospital in nablus and later died. The facts are still being cleared up. The israelis say they are investigating what happened. They admit their forces opened fire after stones were thrown at the soldiers, they say threatening those people, but they say they haven't yet determined exactly what led to the death of the american. It is one of those situations where the americans say they will not point fingers either but they want the facts, and the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has said this is a tragic loss and he will do all he can to try to uncover what has happened. When we look at the west bank, we can see the number of settlers that's increased over the years. There are something like 700,000 now across the west bank including eastjerusalem, and the number of attacks by settlers on palestinians, especially palestinian villages, has increased a lot, and that has been a great cause of worry. Recently, america decided to issue sanctions against a number of individuals and entities too to try and put a stop to this but so far there is no sign of that stopping, carrying on and causing increasing concern across notjust the west bank but the western world too. Elsewhere in the occupied west bank, the israeli army has withdrawn from jenin after an operation lasting nearly ten days. The palestinian health ministry says 36 people were killed in one of israel's largest operations in the west bank in years. Residents were displaced as israeli forces damaged buildings and other infrastructure in the northern west bank. People are now returning home, though water and electricity remain mostly cut off injenin, from where lucy williamson sent this update. Israel's troops and bulldozers have leftjenin camp now but the impact they had is written all across the streets here. This camp was the heart of israel's sweep across the northern west bank. They were here for 9. 5 days and this morning is the first time that residents have been able to leave their homes, see the destruction around them or, in some cases, come back to homes that they fled days ago. Israel says this was a counterterrorist operation and it is clear that its target was the armed palestinian groups that are based here. But the methods it is using are what are raising alarm. That does notjust mean the civilians killed and injured but the level of destruction that are wrecking people's lives. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jenin camp. I spoke with hussein ibish, senior resident scholar at the arab gulf states institute in washington. How do you describe what we have been witnessing in the west bank? extreme provocation is the only term for it. I think israel, for whatever reason, has decided to throw the gloves off in the west bank and go after the armed youth groups especially in jenin. I think there may be another operation like this elsewhere at some point, another hotbed of armed young men unaffiliated with any of the larger groups. And i think there is a sense of heightened anger, animosity and also paranoia that started to creep into the israeli behaviour in the west bank. It is notjust a matter of expanding settlements in provocative ways, but also of orchestrating attacks of the government, orchestrating attacks by israeli settlers that are like ku klux kla n—style nighttime things where villages are suddenly descended upon and innocent people are killed and stuff is destroyed and they disappear in the night. And now we have the shooting. If i could ask you, you are saying that these are settlers carrying out raids, you said that there are armed groups in the west bank. To what extent do they pose a threat to the communities there and to the idf? they have not posed much of a threat to the idf, they have not launched an insurgency that like the one that developed in gaza where hamas continues to pop up all over gaza and israelis have destroyed everything above ground of any value and they don't know what to do. And are being sucked into a quagmire of insurgency and counterinsurgency there. There is nothing like that in the west bank. It is a theoretical threat and, of course, they do engage occasionally and armed confrontation or sometimes criminal activity but it is the settlers, really, who have been on a rampage, not the armed palestinian gangs in the inner cities. And we have seen the us impose sanctions on some extremist settlers and fighting does continuing gaza and the dispute over the gaza—egypt border seems to be a roadblock to a ceasefire. Where do you assess where things stand right now? i think it is clear that prime minister netanyahu does not want anything to do with this potential ceasefire, probably because he fears, realistically, that if there were six weeks of relative calm that also produce prisoner exchanges and the release of hostages and things like that, that would be pleasing on both sides of the equation and it looked like, you know, both parties were getting more from talking and making deals and continuing fighting then he might get dragged into a permanent ceasefire that would allow hamas to re—emerge in gaza as either a governing force or a potential military force. He wants nothing to do with that. He wants the war to continue and this insurgency counterinsurgency to go on for years. That is precisely my next question, the accusation from the israelis is the fact that hamas killed six hostages before they were found is proof that hamas is not interested either. I would tend to agree with that. I think that is evidence and proof but evidence of that, certainly is plenty more. I think you can generally see that the hamas leadership in gaza believes that this has all been very beneficial and would like it to go on. But they would like a pause to regroup their forces now that the war is turning into a prolonged insurgency. That would be useful. They would love to get some prisoners back and get credit for that because they have been under political pressure in gaza because people, some people are starting to realise it was all theirfault to begin with. And then there is the sense in which they want to use an insurgency to claim leadership of the palestinian national movement and that was a goal to begin with. I don't think hamas wants a ceasefire either but they would take a pause if they could sell it as a ceasefire. They need that proviso that allows the ceasefire to continue after six weeks. The biden administration has announced an additional 250 million us dollars in security assistance for ukraine. The us secetary of defense, lloyd austin, made the announcement at the ramstein us air base in germany. But he declined to lift restrictions that bar kyiv from firing american—made long—range missiles into russia, which ukraine's president zelensky says is the only way to end the war. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake has the latest from kyiv. President zelensky wanted to attend in person this meeting of more than 50 allies at the huge us airbase in western germany because he wanted to take his message to them directly and that message was that they need to ignore any perceived redlines that president putin may have. Mr zelensky said that his allies absolutely immediately had to give him permission to use long—range missiles so that they could hit further into russia, target airfields and other places from where devastating attacks on ukraine are launched. Mr zelensky also had a short—term warning, saying that a lot of the air defence support that allies pledged to the country has not yet arrived. Lloyd austin, the us secretary of defence said he heard what mr zelensky was saying and announced a new package of aid. He did not focus on the issue of long—range missiles, talking about us being in a critical stage of this war. He spoke about the incursion by ukrainian troops just over one month ago into russia itself, into the kursk region. He said that this proved the russian army, which had been engaged in acts of aggression, was now fighting a defensive battle on their own turf. This has come at a cost, however. President putin vowed to bring retribution, revenge for this ukrainian operation and we have seen an increase in the number of russian strikes over the past week or so, notably on tuesday this week the city of poltava in the centre of ukraine was hit, the most devastating single attack on any ukrainian town or city this year, at least 55 people were killed. A fire at a boarding school in central kenya killed at least 17 students. 70 children are unaccounted for after the blaze at the primary school's dormitory on thursday evening. Hundreds of people tried to help rescue the children, many of whom were sheltering under their beds. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. President william ruto said it was horrific and devastating. 0ur africa correspondent barbara plett usher has the latest from kenya. It's too much to bear, the sudden and violent death of children. Parents return from the damaged dormitory after being told their boys are among the dead. The fire broke out overnight while they were sleeping, i want to go where my child is, this woman cries. The bodies i have seen are of big children. My child has died. The school is in a remote area. Firefighters were delayed by bad roads, but neighbours rushed to try and rescue the boys. In the chaos, some went missing. Anxious relatives waited to hear whether their loved ones were alive. Emergency services brought in to give psychological care, the scramble to determine who lived and who died has drawn national attention. We still have 17 kids that are unaccounted. That does not mean that they have perished or they are injured, the word is that they are unaccounted for. We are praying and hoping for the best. Dna tests will identify the bodies. It may be harder to find what triggered this terrible tragedy. There have been a lot of fires in kenyan boarding schools over the years, many of them said to be because of arson. Now, we don't know what caused this fire, but officials are promising a thorough investigation. But right now, what we're seeing isjust raw grief and anger. Sobbing there is fear that the death toll could rise and hope that it doesn't. Barbara plett usher, barbara plett usher, bbc news, central kenya. Bbc news, central kenya. By a jury on 3a donald trump welcomed donald trump welcomed a new yorkjudge's sentencing a new yorkjudge's sentencing delay in his manhattan delay in his manhattan criminal case on friday — criminal case on friday — after he and his legal team had after he and his legal team had fought to postpone or dismiss fought to postpone or dismiss the case altogether. Justicejuan merchan ordered the case altogether. Justicejuan merchan ordered the republican presidential the republican presidential nominee's sentencing nominee's sentencing for november 26th, after the us election. For november 26th, after the us election. Trump was convicted trump was convicted by a jury on 3a felony counts of falsifying business records back in may, but has maintained his innocence in the case. Earlier the former president characterised the case as election interference at an address to the fraternal order of police in the battleground state of north carolina. The manhattan da witch hunt against me has been postponed because everyone realises there was no case because i did nothing wrong.

He was really stuck here and had little option other than to adjourn the case. Frankly that is often the issue for a judge when the request comes from the defence that the judges in a tough spot because they want to make sure all proceedings regarding the sentencing are fair as possible to the defendant so they do need to adjourn the sentencing to maintain that fairness. The conviction _ maintain that fairness. The conviction was _ maintain that fairness. The conviction was months maintain that fairness. The conviction was months ago now. Remind us what donald trump is possibly facing at sentencing. He was convicted on all counts, each of the felony counts, for each of the felony counts, for each felony count he faces a potential four years in each felony count he faces a potentialfour years in prison. The question really is for the judge, will he give him time in prison or not? i think we're going have strong arguments in both directions on that but ultimately the judges decision. He has a lot of discretion on a sentence that he imposes a solid is underfour years. I solid is underfouryears. I also want to ask about something we saw on friday. There was a hearing to appeal the verdict in the sex abuse case as jerry the verdict in the sex abuse case asjerry had found last year the donald trump had sexually abused and defamed the writer ej carroll and in his remarks today we heard him criticise a number of women are testified in that trial, saying that he should sue ej carroll for defamation, turn the suit around basically. What do you think of that?— think of that? the one legal oint think of that? the one legal point the — think of that? the one legal point the former _ think of that? the one legal point the former president l think of that? the one legal| point the former president is missing here is that you cannot sue someone for defamation for statements that are made in court. It is not that you are not allowed to do that, there is a judicial privilege for those statements so those statements and testimony is protected from claims of defamation. — protected from claims of defamation. . ,. . , , defamation. That will clearly not be an — defamation. That will clearly not be an avenue _ defamation. That will clearly not be an avenue for defamation. That will clearly not be an avenue for the defamation. That will clearly. Not be an avenue for the former president. But we spoke a lot at the start of this year about the incredibly busy legal calendar that donald trump was facing and in the end it does not seem like these legal battles have had that much of an impact. What is your perspective? have they had an impact and could this still be a big factor this year? his team has _ a big factor this year? his team has really _ a big factor this year? h 3 team has really done a tremendousjob team has really done a tremendous job delaying and putting things off for as long as possible, fighting every part of this along the way and i think that the supporters, the folks were really fundamentally supported donald trump dismiss these cases, all four of them, and including the other civil cases, one of which was mentioned today, they dismiss those. They look at them as politically motivated witch—hunts and they are not considering them in determining who they will vote for in november. — who they will vote for in november. �* , ,. , november.

The same these new charges. The same charges, but adjusted little bit. She has a lot of work to do to really apply that decision to the facts before her now 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. A most basic right. And here it is a luxury. This woman tells me she fled with her children from one city to another, trying to escape the war before arriving here in this displacement camp in port sudan. Translation: the fighting there as was so intense. I within the first two days two members of my family were killed. Then i watched as two of my neighbours were cut in two. Her children are mourning the life they once had. But also their father. Left behind, they have not heard from him since january. Translation: we don't know where he is, what happened i to him. That is it. Our future is over. There is nothing left to do. My children are devastated. The scale of suffering here in sudan is unimaginable. 16 months of war have had a devastating impact on people's lives here. 0ver10 million people have had to flee their home. And if they have escaped the bombs and the bullets there is another killer — hunger. Hunger is ravaging sudan. In neighbouring chad, these eight trucks are lined up and ready to cross into sudan. But it is territory held by a group called the rapid support forces who are fighting the sudanese armed forces. For months, the saf have blocked supplies from getting through this key crossing point. They say aid is being stolen by the rsf and weapons are being smuggled in as well. Both sides in the conflict have denied impeding the delivery of humanitarian relief. As aid proposed to going through the border, families are crossing it to escape the war. These refugees arrived five days ago. It was hunger that drove them to make the treacherous journey. Translation: it is very hard, so dangerous to come here but all the shops are closed. There was no food anymore, nothing to drink, nothing to feed my children. There is nothing to eat. It is all war, there is nowhere to hide. She told me there was no help. No food supplies were reaching her or her six children. Aid agencies are relieved to see these truckloads making their way in today but they say a constant flow of aid is needed to deal with the horrific situation in sudan. 0ne local district has already been declared in famine and 13 others are at risk. The un warns if the flow of food and supplies is not increased, the consequences could be dire. There is much suffering. These are not statistics, these are mothers, daughters, kids. People are going to die. Children. They already are. Women. More gender—based violence and some of that they will not recover from. This is ultimate suffering. By repeatedly spurning peace talks and impeding aid, the two warring sides are effectively putting millions of people at risk of starvation. Many of those we spoke to were hoping the world will take notice and action before it is too late. Take a quick look at some other headlines. A 14—year—old boy accused of killing four people in georgia attended court for the first time on friday. He was charged with four counts of first—degree murder and will be tried as an adult. His father also appeared in court after being charged with involuntary manslaughter and secondary degree murder. He faces a total of 180 years in prison. A british man was jailed on friday for nine years after admitting to trade our burn down a hotel housing asylum seekers. The sentence handed down is the longest so far over the anti—immigration violence last month. He was among a number of people to appear in court on friday with 250 people having beenjailed court on friday with 250 people having been jailed to date. Former vice president of the united states. Cheney has noted he will support the democratic candidate in carmel harris. He declared that in the country is nearly 250 year history there had never been individual posing a greater threat to the republic than donald trump. He accused the former president of using lies and violence to attempt to stay in power after losing the 2020 election. And the deadly super typhoon yardley made a second landfall in china. Thank you so much for watching bbc news. We will be back at the top of next hour. Hello there. Before we get to the weekend, friday brought some very big differences across the uk. We had sunny skies in western scotland, and in northern ireland, temperatures reached 27, the hottest it's been all year. It was quite a bit cooler here at the oval for the test match, where we struggled with bad light. Doesn't look quite so gloomy for saturday. Very misty, murky conditions, though, in bristol, where we've seen rain pushing in earlier on in the night and into south wales as well, with some thunderstorms, too. That's going to be clearing away later, and it's going to be quite a warm start to saturday, muggy as well. And because of that we've got extensive low clouds, some mist and some fog around for england and wales, so things may improve a little. It may cheer up a bit, but there may not be too much sunshine around, more cloud producing a few showers here and there. Looks dry for scotland, northern ireland, sunny for the most part, but that low cloud retreating back to the east coast of scotland keeping it cooler here. But in the sunshine in scotland, and northern ireland temperatures again into the mid—20s, and it may warm up where we get a bit of sunshine in east anglia, although not as warm as it was on friday. We've got this area of low pressure is going to bring some wetter weather overnight on saturday night, heavy rain and some thunderstorms, perhaps already arriving during the evening across these southern areas, and that rain will push its way northwards into england and wales. Drier for scotland and northern ireland, some clear spells, but also some mist and low cloud, again, filtering through the central belt of scotla nd and lingering along the east coast of scotland. But another quite warm start to sunday. But it comes with a lot of cloud, and we've got these showers, along with spells of rain affecting england and wales. Again, it could be heavy and thundery. A few showers popping up towards the southeast of scotland. 0therwise scotland, northern ireland, generally dry but more cloud around, so it's going to be quite a bit cooler, particularly so for northern ireland. If we get a bit of sunshine in the midlands across to lincolnshire, that could pop off a few thundery showers here. Now that area of low pressure is going to move away on monday, so it starts to turn drier, but then we change the wind direction. We're going to pick up more of a northwesterly wind over the week ahead, and that will make it feel quite a bit cooler as well. Now, most of the wet weather next week will be more towards the northwest of the uk this time, the drier weather in the southeast, but those temperatures are going to be lower, perhaps peaking at only 13 or 1a in belfast and edinburgh. This is bbc news. We will have their headlines at the top of their headlines at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. We're about to spend a week with two social media—obsessed teenagers. I think i spend way too much time on my phone. I just scroll and scroll and scroll. It's terrible! what happens when they give up their smartphones and allow us to film the whole thing? i did know that i was going to struggle for, like, the first bit, but i didn't know i was going to struggle this hard! lots of kids say they see stuff on their phones they don't like, and social media companies stand accused of not doing enough to protect them. Kind ofjust stains your brain, _ and it's all you think about for the rest of the day. We are asking a private company— to moderate themselves, which is like _ asking a tiger not to eat you. Calls to restrict our kids' use of smartphones are growing. I personally would ban them and i think we need government directive to do that. But is a ban really the answer? i don't think we should expect kids to use their phone less, because we're not. We're not. I'm not. You're not. I don't think anyone is. 0n the outskirts of birmingham, 14—year—old josh says he can spend up to ten hours a day on his smartphone. He messages his friends and scrolls through hundreds of tiktok videos. It's pretty much like my best friend. Like, i use it every single day. I always have to have it next to me because, like, i won't get scared that i'm being like, left out, or something. During the week, josh's mum makes him leave his smartphone downstairs at night. But at the weekend it's a different story. I, like, watch my phone throughout the night. My phone would be, like, constantly going off, which will wake me up, and then i'll have to check it, just to see if i'm, like, missing anything important. Normally at four in the morning it's not that important. He's very tired the next day. Because he's been up all night and he's not had enough sleep.
