thanks to the presence of this, raac. a lightweight concrete used in the 50s, 60s and 70s but now often in a state of serious disrepair. it is a problem that has been known about for years. five years ago, a primary school building in kent collapsed, leading to wider concerns. good morning, sir. so the questions of many parents are now asking of government, why act only now, just days before the start of the new school year in england? we went through this exhaustive survey of 22,000 schools after the initial incident in 2018. then in the summer months, new information came to light that suggested that some of the buildings that had previously been classified as safe might not be. and so the education secretary acted immediately on that. the chancellor said the government would spend whatever it takes to keep children safe at school, although it is not clear what that means in the long term. labour is piling on the pressure, demanding action. first, i am calling on the government to publish the full list of all the schools affected and publish the papers that are driving all of that. we don't fully know exactly what is going on, and if the government aren't prepared to do it then we will force the vote in parliament next week. we need to understand the scale of what is going on. the chickens are coming home to roost after 13 years. and i can think of are no more defining image of the last 13 years of conservative government than children being sat in classrooms under metal props to prevent the ceilings literally falling in on their heads. educational leaders are concerned too about the impact on pupils. they think this could have been avoided. i am extremely disappointed and frustrated that there wasn't a plan in place for this happening. the government might not have known that it would happen this week but we knew the stock was in this situation. ministers will face tough questions when mps return to westminster this week, particularly as the true scale of this crisis remains unknown. and, staying in the uk, the chancellor has also hinted inflation could rise again when the next set of figures are released later this month. jeremy hunt said there may be a "blip" in inflation. thats despite his insistence that the governments plan to reduce that's despite his insistence that the governments plan to reduce the cost of living is working. the prime minister has made his promise to halve inflation this yearfrom10.7% — the level it was at at the start of the year — one of his key priorities in office. last month the consumer prices index figure stood at 6.8%. this is what the chancellor had to say to laura kuenssberg this morning. what people want from a chancellor, what people want from their prime minister, is not people who are going to take the easy decisions, but people who are going to take the right decisions for the long term of the british economy. that is what we're doing, and we can see the plan is working. inflation is coming down... well, it may go up. the bank of england thinks it has gone up in august. do you accept that? do think that is what's going to happen? i do think we may see a blip in inflation in september, but after that, the bank of england are saying it will fall down to around 5%. if we are going to put money in people's pockets quickly, the fastest thing i can do is to deliver the prime minister's pledge to halve inflation. that was jeremy hunt speaking that wasjeremy hunt speaking to laura kuenssberg earlier. ukraine's military says it's managed to break through key russian defences near the south—eastern city of zaporizhzhia. general 0keksandr tarnavskyi told britain's 0bserver newspaper that extensive minefields had blocked troops for several weeks, leaving them vulnerable to russian shellfire and drone attack. but the general claimed that painstaking mine clearance work has now allowed his forces to advance, meaning they face far weaker russian defences behind. sources in the ukrainian army have confirmed it to the bbc. how does it change the dynamics of the war? here is the take of an adviser to president zelensky — aleksander rodnya nsky. we've been waiting for this moment for quite some time, we have been hoping that we would peer through the russian defence line, the hardest appears through, if you believe military experts when they talk about it. hopefully now, we reach the second or third lines of defence that the russians have established, those will be easier to essentially overcome. perhaps, hopefully, this is a place where we can now actually put the modern nato technology, the tanks we have been getting and the training we have been receiving, put all of that used to our advantage.— to our advantage. really briefly, the ho -e to our

including this point. we know what the objectives are. we have a common objective of liberating ukraine, notjust for ukraine, but for the whole western democratic world, mixes the stand—off between democracies and authoritarian systems. hopefully this is a key moment, hopefully we'll be able to build on that, and make sure we liberate all of ukraine in its 1991 internationally recognised borders. let's bring in the military analyst justin crump, ceo of sibylline, a intelligence consultancy. justin is also a british army veteran. first, how reliable is this news coming from ukraine that it's managed to break through key russian defences? the news, as you say has been confirmed by others sources stop it has been confirmed in the russian continuous defence line, but i think people are mostly thinking about with the dragon's teeth anti—tank obstacles, and the many kilometres of ditches and covered positions, we know they are into that. it is clear as well this is the most upbeat the ukrainians have sounded about the conduct of their offensive since the earliest days. the breakthrough is something that many people watching might be thinking of us is very dramatic action, and tanks charging forward now towards the sea of as of, and the thing to understand the breakthrough at this pace still very slow and steady, it is not a dramatic moment, it is the culmination of a lot of effort, including infantrymen and was calling forward on their bellies to clear mines and positioned. ukraine are always very pleased with the achievement at this stage. i think we are still a little bit away from what might come to most people's minds when they think of the word breakthrough. that minds when they think of the word breakthrough-— minds when they think of the word breakthrough. that is key. looking at the war as _ breakthrough. that is key. looking at the war as a _ breakthrough. that is key. looking at the war as a whole, _ breakthrough. that is key. looking at the war as a whole, how- at the war as a whole, how significant do you think what ukraine is seeing a breakthrough is, you're not necessarily calling that, but how significant is this announcement?

it is a - it click on the word, it is a breakthrough, but whether it... you might think of desert storm in 1991, or the collapse of the russians in kharkiv this time last year, i think we are still away from seeing that point where armoured formations driving tens of kilometres a day potentially with the russian army having to fall back into new positions at pace. that is the keep question at this point. that depends very heavily on the strategy ukraine has taken on how many losses the russians have taken and trying to hold the line is forward where they have done for so long, and how much effort that has taking the russians to hold the line to keep the ukrainians from advancing for so long. the question is, has it exhausted russia's reserves of artillery and personnel to the extent they can't count increased pressure from the ukraine? has russia got enough in the tank to keep pushing back at the ukrainians and stop them from developing what is currently a bit of a gap in the line into something that leads to their cascading failure of the russians in the south miss it still impossible to say that, and i'm not sure side knows fully the state and balance of forces on the

literally in some cases, to attacking forces. it is only effective when trying to cross an obstacle when you are being fired at by your enemy, you're being attacked by artillery, you can't move through the open, and suddenly are stuck on an obstacle. the general is by background a tank commander. he is waiting for when he can unleashes vehicles again. it is notable in his interview, where he talks about reaching the point where they are back where they can start moving again, and you can see the desire in his words as he talks about it. he obviously thinks is close and they are approaching a position where they can achieve this level of success against the russians. many unknowns. it is war, you will always have this. ukraine deftly sounding more upbeat than they have been.—

will be held accountable. it's after the ukrainian billionaire businessman, ihor kolomoisky, was held on suspicion of fraud and money laundering. a ukrainian court ruled on saturday that kolomoisky will be held in custody for two months. the businessman is alleged to have transfered14 million dollars abroad using banks he controlled. his lawyers say he will appeal against the court order. its understood the tycoon was once a powerful backer of the president. taiwan is being battered by its biggest storm in four years. typhoon haikui has winds of up to 190 kilometres an hour. 0ur reporter nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more. the storm gathered pace as it approached taiwan, and what you can see behind me as one of the government webcams, or you can see the torrential rain pounding the lens. it is predicted in some areas that there could be at least half a metre of rain by monday. with those winds of 190 kilometres an hour, it's no surprise that trees and power lines have been brought down in several coastal towns, causing, as you can see, damage to vehicles. the state—run taiwan power company says it is working hard to restore electricity to tens of thousands of homes and businesses. all domestic flights were cancelled on sunday. roads have also been damaged, with the authorities warning that there is a risk of landslides in some mountainous districts. thousands of people have been moved to evacuation centres, whilst others are staying sheltering in their homes, although they have been told to stay away from windows in case they get broken by flying debris in those strong winds. the military have mobilised soldiers and equipment to help with those evacuation efforts and the flood relief. taiwan has escaped any direct hits by major storms since 2019. although the typhoon is expected to cause extensive damage, it is passing over a relatively sparsely populated area of the island. it will then move, forecasters say, across the taiwan strait and into china. israel's hard—line government is considering tough measures including the immediate deportation of eritrean asylum seekers who were involved in violent protests on saturday. around 160 people were injured in clashes with the police and in fighting between rival groups for and against the eritrean government. they broke through police barriers and vandalised the hall, cars and businesses nearby. israeli police used live gunfire, tear gas and stun grenades to try to push them back and stop street battles with pro—regime eritreans. live now to our middle east correspomncdent

really - what do we know so far? just a day | ago, there were these really riotous scenes in the south of tel aviv. what happened is the eritrean embassy in israel was planning to hold an event at a hole there, and there had already been warnings from eritrean activists that that should not be allowed to go ahead. they asked the israeli authorities to block, and said there was a risk of violence. we very much so that. large crowds of eritrean asylum seekers opposed to the government in their native country look through police barricades, and we have these very violent scenes. the police look like they had been caught somewhat off guard by the scale of the crowds that were there, and they used live gunfire, stun grenades, tear gas, all different measures, to try and push back the protesters. we also saw they were trying to divide groups of protesters from each other, because within the eritrean community there is this deep division between those who are for and against the government back in eritrea, and they were wearing opposing colours, red and blue, and were fighting each other on the streets with rocks, large pieces of metal in some cases, and there were lots of vandalism, shops were smashed up, cars were smashed, police on horses were trying to push people off the streets, and it was several hours before they managed to bring the situation under control. something that was really quite unprecedented. not surprisingly today we have been seeing a big political fallout of that, with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, calling our special ministerial meeting to discuss what should happen next. find ministerial meeting to discuss what should happen next.— should happen next. and looking at what could happen _ should happen next. and

feelings of the very strong message that is, from the israeli government. the highly controversial plans to pass through a judicial overhaul. some other items on the political agenda have been put aside, including this one about migration, and those people whom benjamin netanyahu refers to as illegal infiltrators, people who crossed into israel from egypt through the sinai desert in the main several years ago, and there's now a big borderfence that several years ago, and there's now a big border fence that prevents large numbers of people from crossing in same way. really, there are members of the far right, the cabinet ministers who have long wanted to tackle this issue of about 30,000 sub—saharan africans who remain in israel. about 20,000 of them come from eritrea. the figures aren't exactly clear. benjamin netanyahu now says he won't see the immediate deportation of those involved in the latest violence, and there are about 40 latest violence, and there are about a0 people that we know of who are being kept in administrative detention who are being rounded up by the police a day ago only for public order offences. he has asked ministers at its meeting earlier if they can come up with other plans to deport people en masse, and that is something that will be very worrying for asylum seekers and migrants here in israel. . ~ for asylum seekers and migrants here in

premier league, where the first two games of the day are into the second half. liverpool are on track to make it three wins from four at the start of the season, with a 3—0 lead over aston villa. dominik szobozlai scored the opener after three minutes. mohamed salah has just mohamed salah hasjust added to that. in between that, there was an own goal. the big match in the english premier league later is in north london with last season's runners up arsenal taking on manchester united at the emirates. mikel arteta's side have had the better of the rivalry in recent years, including winning four of the last five games at home. we know that the history between the two clubs and the games that we had in the past as well last year was a really good example, so it's going to be an extremely competitive match really, a big battle on sunday, and obviously we want to come away from that with three points. it's one of the biggest games in the premier league. always interesting games, intense games. i think it's two teams who really play offensive football, the right intensity, i would say. the audience is always the big winner of that game, so yeah, really looking forward to have that game. in scotland, the first old firm derby of the season went celtic�*s way. they beat rangers 1—0 at ibrox with kyogo furuhashi's brilliant goal on the stroke of half time proving to be the difference. it's another big day at the us open with world number one iga swiatek, caroline wozniacki and 23—time grand slam champion novak djokovic all in action later at flushing meadows. the man widely tipped to potentially face djokovic in the final at the end of the tournament is carlos alcaraz. the top seed and defending champion eventually had too much class for britain's dan evans on saturday. the british number two paid for a slow start although he did manage to win the third set before alcaraz won the next to seal a meeting with italy's matteo arnaldi in the last 16. third seed daniil medvedev overcame argentina's sebastian baez in three sets as he continued his bid to win a second us open title in three years. the russian next faces australia's alex de minaur. last year's runner up and fifth seed, 0ns jabeur, produced another gutsy display to reach the last 16 with a three—set win over marie bouzkova that took almost three hours. she's been struggling with illness in new york, but won to set up a meeting with chinese 23rd seed zheng qinwen. former zimbabwe captain heath streak has died at the age of a9 from colon cancer. streak is zimbabwe's all—time leading wicket—taker and once took 6—87 in a test against england to earn a place on the lord's honours board. but since 2021 he had been serving an 8—year ban from cricket for corruption offences. before that he also had a three year spell as zimbabwe coach. england are looking to complete a series victory against new zealand in the third t20 international at edgbaston. jos buttler�*s side lead the four match series 2—0, with chrisjordan and mark wood recalled to the side today. new zealand won the toss in birmingham and after 11 overs, they are currently 95—2, finn allen reaching his half—century. chris eubankjunior says he has answered his critics after gaining revenge over liam smith, beating him by a technical knockout in round 10 of their middleweight rematch. eubank knocked smith down in the fourth round at the manchester arena, and although he wasn't able to capitalise immediately, the referee stopped the fight when eubank did it again in the tenth. smith won the first fight between the two back injanuary. i was the underdog, everyone thought i was going to get knocked out. everyone thought i was finished. i see people online saying i'm shot, i'm too old, i don't want it any more. yeah, i couldn't let that... i couldn't let that be. i couldn't let that slide. for more on these and other sports stories, including the latest from the italian grand prix at monza,

attend in 70% of cases, even though we only report serious incidents. i agree that you need tougher sentences, and you need the ability to treat the root causes like substance abuse. the police have

the next few days. lots of dry, sunny, very warm if not hot weather. temperatures probably peeking wednesday—thursday into the low 30s at the very hottest parts of the country. looking at the picture today, we started off with a bit of morning mist and fog, and that cleared out of the way to reveal these blue and sunny skies, and it has been like that pretty much the whole of the day. the exception has been the far north of scotland, where we have had some thicker cloud, and that has been bringing a few patches of rain into the hebrides, parts of the highlands, 0rkney and shetland as well. temperatures, with that cloud and rain, a little bit suppressed across the far north of scotland, but otherwise it has been warm. for the rest of scotland and northern ireland, england and wales, mid to high 20s for some. 0vernight tonight, we will keep the clear skies going. again, a few mist and fog patches developing later in the night, with temperatures slowly drifting down to between 12 and 16 degrees for most of us. and the weather over the next few days is dominated by this area of high pressure just to the east of the uk, and it is this that is going to be bringing us our long spell of dry, sunny, very warm if not hot weather. the details on monday, mist and fog patches clearing, plenty of sunshine for the vast majority. a brighter day for the hebrides and the highlands, 0rkney too, but shetland could continue to see some thicker cloud and occasional spots of rain. temperatures rising, probably the mid 20s in the very warmest parts of scotland and northern ireland, but highs of about 27 in parts of england and wales. we have more of that very warm, sunny weather to come on tuesday as well. probably some thicker cloud for a time working across the northern isles, so probably bright if not sunny here, for most of us the sunshine back out in full force, here, for most of us the sunshine back out in full force. those temps are set to rise a bit further towards the middle part of the week, but we could see a bit of mist and fog first things in the morning. the hot weather is towards eastern england could see temperatures on wednesday afternoon hitting 30 celsius, which isn't too far away from the highest temperature of the year, which currently stands at 32.2. the dry, sunny, warm weather last for most of us to the first part of next weekend. it will probably change on sunday, with rain returning. this is bbc news, the headlines: headteachers in england are in a race this weekend to find ways to reopen their schools after being told to shut buildings made with unsafe concrete. many from the 10a affected schools are busy rejigging timetables, seeking alternative classrooms and trying to rent temporary toilets. ukraine's
