And the Glitz And Glamour of the Red Carpet returns to hollywood as the Mtv Movie Tv awards honours the best in pop culture. A warm welcome. Israeli aircraft have carried out dozens more Air Strikes on gaza in the early hours of monday as the conflict enters its second week. Hamas militants are firing more rockets into southern israel. Palestinian officials said sunday had been the deadliest day since fighting began. The israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected international appeals for a ceasefire. Our middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen reports. Not much is left of Al Wihda Street in the heart of Gaza City after the heaviest israeli strikes since this war started, and the deadliest day for palestinians. They were looking for survivors. He says, raise your voice so we can hear you. Are you 0k . Not many were found alive. Families escaped with children who wont forget this day. Translation when i was carrying my small boy, he told me, dad, i dont want to die. What more do you want from him . There is no safety in the city. Benjamin netanyahu, israels Prime Minister, convened his security chiefs. A Cabinet Meeting did not discuss a ceasefire. On the way down to the Gaza Border are some of the communities the government here says must be saved from rockets before it will stop its attacks. Israels leaders said the same thing during the other wars with hamas. The Israeli Army showed off their anti missile system, iron dome. They say it shoots down around 90 of the missiles fired out of gaza. Previous wars between israel and hamas have ended with mediation, generally with egypt involved, leading to a ceasefire. Now, contacts have been made, but its a difficult process because each side needs to get to the point where they can say to their people that the sacrifices the damage, the killing were worth it. If israel takes this to the next level with a Ground Invasion of gaza, that process gets knocked on further into the future. The 2014 war lasted for nearly two months. Iron dome is one reason why israel suffers fewer casualties than gaza. Another is the weight of israels firepower. Well, civilians, of course, arent our target. They never are. But you do kill them. And any loss of life on both sides of this conflict, any loss of civilian life is tragic. But it does happen an awful lot in gaza. And i hear that. And, again, any loss of civilian life is tragic. It happens here as well. While we were there, they launched. A volley of missiles was heading out of gaza, north towards the israeli town of ashkelon. Iron dome didnt stop all of them. But this wasnt a fatal attack. In gaza, a six year old susie was pulled out of the rubble. Her mother, two sisters, and two brothers were killed. Until he saw susie, her father thought he was the only one left. Thank god, he said, because one day she might recapture the smiles of all his daughters. Jeremy bowen, Bbc News, jerusalem. Our Correspondent Rushdi Abualouf is in gaza. It was Another difficult night for most of the people in gaza as the israelis have attacked as many as 20 or 30 targets this night. According to security sources, about 80 Air Strikes since midnight. The western part of the Gaza City was hit intensely. Local are saying that they are targeting streets, Electricity Supplies and also many Security Compounds for hamas, including Police Stations and Military Training facilities belonging to the hamas armed wing. This night, there were no casualties, according to the health ministry, but the scale of destruction caused by those attacks was really huge. Shortly before the israeli Air Strikes, the militant group hamas have said they have fired a barrage of rockets towards the city Of Sderot and the city of beersheba, in southern israel. They said in a statement that it is retaliation for the killing of 42 people on the deadliest attack on sunday morning, were palestinian health officials saying 42 people were killed in the attack. That brings the total number of deaths since the beginning of the fighting a week ago to 179. Some other news iiow. Police in israel say negligence was to blame for the second deadly accident at a jewish religious gathering in a Matter of weeks. Two people died and many more were hurt when temporary seating collapsed at an unfinished synagogue in the occupied west bank. Tens of thousands of residents of low lying areas along indias West Coast are expected to be evacuated from their homes as the first tropical storm of the season approaches. It is expected to strike gujarat on tuesday. Six people have already died after the storm hit the states of kerala and goa. The worst flooding in nearly a century is devastating communities in brazils amazon region. In one of the worst affected areas, floodwater is waist high and officials have declared a state of emergency. Scientists say the severe weather is caused by La Nina Phenomenon which cools parts of the pacific ocean. The international scheme set up to ensure equal access to Covid I9 vaccines is currently 140 Million doses short, due to the continuing Covid Crisis in india. Now, unicef is calling for the powerful g7 countries the leaders of which will meet in the uk next month to share their surplus of doses. The bbc� s global Health Correspondent Tulip mazumdar reports. Its a global collaboration thats never been tried on this tight timescale before. The aim of the Covax Scheme is to ensure all people in all countries get equal access to vaccines to protect them against Covid I9. Some progress is being made, but doses remain vastly unevenly distributed. And now, the pipeline providing vaccines to some of The Worlds poorest countries is being squeezed. As india continues its devastating battle against a raging outbreak, the countrys Prime Minister has temporarily banned exports of Covid I9 vaccines so that all doses can be used in country. The Serum Institute Of India was due to supply around half of the Two Billion vaccines for covax this year, but nothings been shipped since march, leaving a shortfall of around 140 Million doses which is due to rise to 190 Million by the end ofjune. Unfortunately, were in a situation where we just dont know when the next set of doses will materialise. Our hope is things will get back on track, but of course, the situation in india is uncertain itself. And how much of a concern is that . Its certainly a huge concern, and thats why we are calling on higher income countries that have access to doses to start sharing those doses now. But countries are not being forthcoming with donating doses. Data commissioned by unicef suggests that the rich g7 nations, as well as the eu, could make a big dent in the Vaccine Deficit in poorer countries by donating 20 of their supplies injune, july and august. This would free up around 153 Million doses. So far, france is the only country to have already shipped vaccines in view of the crisis in india, pledging 500,000 doses by mid june. Nations including rwanda, senegal, and here in ghana, are using up some of their last remaining doses. Its very important that the global promise of solidarity for those countries that have enough vaccines distribute and share those doses. Because unless we stop the transmission everywhere, it will be very difficult to end this pandemic, even in places where people have been completely vaccinated. New deals with different Vaccine Suppliers and manufacturers are already under way to try and get the Covax Scheme back on track, but right now, theres a gaping hole in supplies which is threatening the global plan to end this pandemic. Tulip mazumdar, Bbc News. Here in the uk, prime Minister Borisjohnson has urged people to exercise a heavy dose of caution as many Covid Restrictions are lifted across england, wales and scotland today.

Hello im Chetan Pathak with your Sports News. We start with Barcelonas History making moment in gothenburg, this was the Post Match Press conference after they won the womens Champions League for the first time in their history. All the goals were scored in the first 36 minutes as chelsea were thrashed 4 0. You can see how much barcas players enjoyed that, frustration though for the londoners who went behind in the first minute. They were extremely clinical. I think conceding so early, you have to remember one was an own goal, the second was a penalty, dating from there on and it was an uphill battle. It was too early in the game to concede. So it makes it difficult to impose yourself when a team has the momentum. Next to the English Premier league, where it looked like liverpools hopes of realistically finishing in the top four were all but over until in the 95th minute at west brom. Alisson made history by becoming the first Liverpool Goalkeeper to score a competitive goal for the club. Added emotion in a year where his father died. Alisson� s towering header from a corner ensured liverpool got a 2 1win which moves them within a point of the Champions League places. It is the best goal i ever saw scored by a goalkeeper. It is not a scrappy one with a boot in, orwhatever, not a scrappy one with a boot in, or whatever, second ball. All these kinds of things. The striker scores like that and is a hero and rightly so they say thatis a hero and rightly so they say that is a worldie. Wow, what a goal. That was a worldie. Incredible, absolutely special. Atletico madrid are just one win away from lifting the la Liga Title but they left it late to beat 0sasuna. They were 1 0 down with eight minutes to go before goals from renan Lodi And Luis suarez clinched a vital victory. Real madrid are still in the hunt though thanks to a 1 0 win at athletic bilbao. Borussia dortmund have confirmed their place in the Champions League for next season after beating mainz 3 1. Raphale gurreiro opened the scoring here brilliantly. The win caps a great few days for dortmund, who won the German Cup midweek. Rafael nadal� s given himself the perfect springboard for the French Open after beating the World Number one Novak Djokovic in three sets to win the Italian Open for the tenth time. Nadal� s hoping for a record Extending 14th Win at Rolland Garros when the tournament gets underway in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile the womens defending French Open Champion Iga Swiantek put in a sensational performance in herfinal in rome. The 19 year old from poland thrashed Karolina Pliskova 6 0, 6 0 injust 45 minutes to win the title. Egan bernal is in the lead of the Giro Ditalia heading into mondays 10th stage.

Those in charge of Recruitment Processes say that people who suffer from seasickness need not apply, also those who cant live without Fast Food being delivered straight to the door, should not even consider this. That probably rules out many. See you soon for the top business stories. Hello. It may come as a shock to those of you who sat under sunny skies on sunday, but elsewhere, there was some severe storms, some Flash Flooding and also this was sent into us from one of our weather watchers, a funnel cloud, the early stages of a tornado, on the West Coast of somerset. And the turbulent atmosphere which brought those conditions still with us through the next few days. More Thundery Downpours to come, nice in the sunshine where youve got it, but overall, rather cool and then potential for something much wetter and windier later in the week. Now, out there into the start of monday, the area of low pressure that was with us on sunday moves a bit that allows a bit more of a north westerly flow across the country and a subtle shift in where we will see some of the heaviest of the showers. Now, some of the showers will continue through the night into the morning. A fair bit of cloud around to start your monday, but it will be frost free, temperatures around 5 8 degrees celsius. Best of the brightness will be in the west, and in fact, in western areas, it will be a drier day overall. One or two showers though in the west to begin with, but notice how they are tracking their way eastwards and, as we go into the afternoon, as temperatures rise, its eastern parts of scotland, Eastern England where we are most likely to see some severe thunderstorms, hail and potentially some gusty winds, with the risk of Flash Flooding in one or two spots. Western areas, though, as i said, always that bit drier compared with yesterday. Nice enough in the sunshine. It will be cooler where the showers occur. The showers will last into the evening, gradually fading away, for the vast majority. There will be one or two around, particularly for coastal areas as we go through the night and into tuesday morning. And with some clear skies around, perhaps cooler through the night into tuesday morning. An isolated chance of a frost for southern scotland, northern ireland, but most places will be frost free. The details for tuesday, then well begin with some sunshine, a few early Mist And Fog patches. Cloudier and breezy are to the north of scotland, where it will be a rather cool day. A greater chance of showers in northern scotland. Showers return, though, to northern ireland, wales, south west england. This is where the heaviest will be. Fewer showers in southern scotland, northern and Eastern England, compared with monday. Nice in the sunshine, cool out of it. That Showery Story continues into wednesday. Shower risk pushes a bit further north. Then through thursday into friday, it all depends on how quickly an area of low pressure will start to push its way in. There is the potential thursday could be dry, but this Deepening Area of low pressure will push in with some extensive rain and some strong winds, with gales possible in many areas. Stay tuned to the forecast to keep up to date with that. Bye for now. This is Bbc News with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around The World.
