were under review. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, has more. there have been more deadly israeli strikes on different neighbourhoods of gaza city. in al—shati camp, large strikes there. you can see these dark plumes of smoke in social media videos. several homes flattened, shocked people rushing to help the casualties who are at the scene. there has been speculation on israeli media that a senior hamas commander was being targeted, but the official israeli military statement talks only about hamas infrastructure being targeted. the israeli military has also put out a statement saying that there was not a direct attack on an international committee of the red cross facility, in al—mawasi, in rafah a day ago. that was where at least 22 people were killed according to the red that was where at least 22 people were killed, according to the red cross, when there was shelling on a tent camp for displaced people, and the red cross office nearby was also damaged. to the north of here, on the israel—lebanon border, tensions remain extremely high. there's been an intensification in cross—border violence with israeli forces and the lebanese armed group, hezbollah. but the israeli military says today it killed a man there who was an operative of hamas and another allied group, saying that he was supplying these groups with weapons, and they have put out a video of the deadly drone strike they say was on his car. as we heard, there's growing unrest on israel's northern border with lebanon. the two sides have exchanged fire across the lebanon—israel borderfor months. our middle east correspondent, lucy williamson, has been to the israeli side of the border this week, and sent this report. war empties neighbourhoods. here on israel's northern border, many say war is also the way to get residents back. david has refused to leave. even when rockets landed right in front of his house a few weeks ago. shrapnel slicing through the walls, missing him by inches. it has made him even more determined to stay. every day, every night, bombs, and i was born here. if you live here one night, you will go crazy. very, very strong problem. bombs, rockets. why? rockets hit this area every week. this slipped past israel's defences last friday, hitting a street outside the mayor's office. the us is pushing hard for a diplomatic solution here, but the mayor says full—scale war is the only way out. translation: sitting - here like lambs to slaughter, just waiting for the day they attack us like we saw in the south, it is unacceptable. everyone understands the choice is between war now oi’ war later. i don't think there is any country in the world that would accept daily fire against its citizens. israel has been striking back across the border and talking up preparations for a full—scale offensive against hezbollah, who have vowed that nowhere in israel would be spared. tough talk is a part of both sides�* strategy of deterrence, but it can also spotlight the path to war. it looks like they shot it... tom was out when a rocket hit his house right on the border. look what one rocket can do to a house. everything isjust ruined, it is crazy. he says israel's leadership has failed. they lost it. they need to quit, all of them. the biggest failure of our army and our country was on october 7, and they were the leaders. there is growing pressure in israel for a ceasefire in gaza. that would likely calm tensions in the north as well. but israel's prime minister is keeping both conflicts going, mortgaged by his promise to far—right government allies to destroy hamas before ending the gaza war. playing for time is his specialty — but the longer this conflict goes on, the more it turns into playing with fire. lays out the life scenes in tel aviv, where thousands of people are on the streets demanding the return of more than 100 hostages still held by hamas. 120 hostages are still believed to be held in gaza since october 7. believed to be held in gaza since 0ctober7. many believed to be held in gaza since october 7. many people are on the street is also protesting against the government because my actions. we have seen the protest take place on a weekly basis on a saturday for many months now. 0n the uk election trail, nigel farage has insisted he will not apologise for remarks about president putin which have been condemned by the leaders of britain's biggest political parties. mr farage — the leader of reform uk — told the bbc that russia's invasion of ukraine was provoked by europe and nato. the prime minister, rishi sunak, said the remarks were "completely wrong" and played "into putin's hands". but writing in the telegraph, mr farage said he was "telling the truth". with more, here's our political correspondent, harry farley. vladimir putin this morning at a ceremony to mark the nazi invasion of russia in world war ii. his invasion of ukraine has largely united british politics. this is more like a police interview... but last night, the man who says he wants to be leader of the opposition said it was a consequence of eu and nato expansion. we've provoked this war. you know, of course it's his fault. he's used... but we provoked the invasion of ukraine? yes, and very interestingly, once again, ten years ago when i predicted it... by the way, i'm the only person in british politics that predicted what would happen. and of course, everyone says i was a pariah for daring to suggest it. rishi sunak has so far been reluctant to criticise mr farage, perhaps hoping to persuade those tempted by reform to back the conservatives. no such hesitation this morning. what he said was completely wrong and only plays into putin's hands. this is a man who deployed nerve agents on the streets of britain, who's doing deals with countries like north korea, and this kind of appeasement is dangerous for britain's security, the security of our allies that rely on us, and only enboldens putin further. there has widespread condemnation. farage's comments about russia and ukraine are disgraceful. i have always been clear that putin bears responsibility, sole responsibility, for the russian invasion of ukraine. i think anybody who wants to stand to be a representative in our parliamentary should be really clear that whether it's russian aggression on the — battlefield or online, we stand against that aggression. the liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey — campaigning on a chicken farm this morning — said that only president putin was responsible for the death of civilians in ukraine. and mr farage's political opponents are hoping his chances of winning here in clacton are dented by his views on the kremlin. 0ur correspondent, gary 0'donoghue, says this is a rare occasion of a direct criticism of the reform uk leader by the prime minister in this election campaign. he has been reluctant i think to go after nigel farage for fairly obvious electoral reasons. but on this kind of territory, on the ukraine war, he feels much more confident. and that's because i think there is large—scale unity from all parties on what should be done about ukraine, about backing ukraine's war efforts, about, if you like, putting vladimir putin firmly in the guilty camp on this one. i think that's why he also went as far as to use the appeasement word, which of course in britain has huge resonance going back to the 1930s and european facism, and the rise of hitler. one of the things and the consequences i think that the parties will be thinking about after the election is if reform does win seats and if nigel farage were to end up in some kind of opposition role in parliament, would that change the approach of the british government to ukraine? what we don't really know is what his attitude would be about continuing the war funding, given his views on ukraine. meanwhile, the labour party leader has come under criticism on his stance on gender recognition, hasn't he? he has, from the author jk rowling, the author of the harry potter books, an enormously well—known and successful figure, and someone who has been critical, if you like, of some of the issues around trans and gender identification. she used to be a labour party member and donor, and she has said that she thinks that labour has abandoned women and that she would struggle to support the party this time around. labour, in london at least, has moved on this and sir keir starmer said earlier this week that he supported the tony blair's view that biological women have vaginas that men have penises, and that is seen as a move from his previous stance on that several years ago. but it doesn't seem to be enough to get the backing of this well—known figure, who in the past has been a staunch supporter of labour. russia has hit a residential area of kharkiv city, in northeastern ukraine, with what local officials say were four glide bombs. the authorities say three people have been killed and nearly a0 others have been injured in the attack, some of them critically. rescuers are searching the debris for survivors. earlier, the governor of the neighbouring russian region of belgorod reported the death of a civilian in ukrainian shelling. spanish police say they have the resources to continue the search for 19—year—old jay slater, who's now been missing in tenerife for six days. they've declined an offer of help from police in lancashire. mr slater hasn't been seen since last sunday when he went to a music festival in the south of the island. he left by car with two men in the early hours of the next morning — telling friends he was staying at their apartment. the teenager was last heard from on monday morning when he rang a friend, saying he had missed a bus travelling south and was attempting to walk the ten—hourjourney back. the call then cut out. his last known location was at the rural teno national park. fiona trott is in playa de las americas, where jay was visiting last weekend. it's hard to imagine that he was here one week ago enjoying a three—day music festival. i have spoken to a bar owner who said that he met him that night — he said he was relaxed, happy, having a good time with his friends. now, one week on, he has missing posters of jay on his walls. he says it's hard to understand how he disappeared. what we understand is he left here on the early hours of monday morning with two men, they took a ao—minute car journey to a holiday home in the remote village of masca. it's understood that was the last place he was seen. we have spoken to a neighbour, who said he asked her about bus times and she told him he would have to wait two hours. he then headed off in the opposite direction, further into the mountains. his friend lucy told us that he then called her and said he was about to start a ten—hour walk back to his accommodation, and that's when the phone went dead. the police haven't told us what they think happened that night, they say they do not comment on current investigations, but have confirmed that nobody has been arrested. instead their searches have continued in that national park there today. they say that they are using sniffer dogs and drones. of course, this is a day when he is supposed to be back home in lancashire with his family, telling them about the holiday that he had. instead they are here anxiously waiting for news, hoping that tomorrow somebody, something will turn up and give the police more information to help them find their son. iran's supreme court has overturned a death sentence against the popular rapper, toomaj salehi. he was jailed for backing the nationwide protests that gripped the county. his lawyer says the supreme court has ordered a retrial. the rapper became a symbol of resistance, with artists including coldplay and sting joining the international campaign to save his life. kasra naji — a correspondent at the bbc�*s persian service — has more. it doesn't mean that mr salehi is out of the woods, he's not, this goes back to a lower court which will re—examine the case and decide on a new sentence. so, that is where we are today. in iran, thejudicial process is very political in nature and many of these decisions are taken on the basis of the political situation, on the timing, and so on and so forth. today, my guess, the only thing that i can think of is that we are very close to the iranian presidential election, which is going to be held next week on friday, onjune 28, and maybe the iranian authorities feel that this may be one of those rare good news that might entice people to come to votes at a time and a lot of people want to stay away from the polls. also, that maybe they fear that there may be some backlash if there was going to be an execution of this popular man. campaigning has kicked off ahead of rwanda's presidential and parliamentary elections on july 15. 9.5 million people are eligible to cast their ballots. 500 candidates have been cleared to contest for 80 parliamentary seats. over the next three weeks, they will be traversing the hilly east african nation to canvass for support. president kagame — who has governed the land—locked country for two decades — is seeking a fourth term. egypt has stripped 16 travel agencies of their licences for organising illegal hajj pilgrimages. more than a million muslims make the journey to mecca annually, but this year more than a thousand people have so far reportedly died — many because of searing temperatures of over 50 degrees. it's feared the death toll could be much higher. unregistered pilgrims do not have access to proper facilities such as air—conditioned tents and official transport. caroline hawley reports. it's a sacred duty for muslims to perform the pilgrimage once in their lifetime — if physically and financially able. and it's a colossal logistics operation for the saudi authorities. they've been criticised in the past for the way they've handled the hajj, for deadly stampedes. but this year, the danger came from blistering heat. there was water on hand, large sprinklers and some air—conditioned areas for the more than 1.8 million pilgrims. but it was more than 50 degrees in the shade, and the scorching temperature took a terrible toll. ather hussain is imam of leicester's central mosque. he'sjust returned home from saudi arabia, scarred by what he saw. it was undoubtedly a traumatic experience. you would walk and you simply wouldn't know where to look because everywhere you turned, you would see someone struggling in some way or the other, people completely drowned in sweat. it's not just the frail and the elderly who were affected. i saw perfectly fit individuals who were struggling just to make 50 yards. in the village of menoufiya, in northern egypt, a family mourns. 70—year—old effendiya sold jewellery to pay for the pilgrimage. she had a tourist visa and, like many others, wasn't officially registered for the hajj. her children say she was left to walk for miles, taken advantage of by an unscrupulous tour operator. she called home as she was dying. translation: i screamed and couldn't believe it. - she phoned my brother and told him she felt her soul is leaving her body. i wish i was with her. the casualties come from many countries and there are fears that climate change will, in the future, make the hajj even more dangerous. the charity, islamic relief, has called for urgent steps to inform pilgrims of the risks, and to ensure that their safety is paramount. caroline hawley, bbc news. members of the uk's richest family have received prison sentences for exploiting staff brought over from india to work at their geneva villa. prakash and kamal hinduja, as well as their son ajay and his wife namrata, were found guilty of exploitation and illegal employment by a swiss court, and handed sentences ranging from four to four—and—a—half years. they were acquitted on the more serious charge of people trafficking. lawyers representing the defendants said they intend to appeal against the ruling. 0ur geneva correspondent, imogen foulkes reports. the hinduja family has a multi—million dollarfortune, with interests in oil and gas. they employ 200,000 people worldwide. but inside their lakeside villa in geneva, the court heard, staff were paid as little as $8 a day, sleeping in cellars, rarely allowed out. sentencing the hindujas to up to 11.5 years in prison, the judge told them they had abused their position of wealth and power to exploit people who were poor. the hindujas' lawyer suggested the verdict was political, not legal. translation: i have the feeling this behaviour wasjudged on moral - grounds and not on legal grounds. on the one hand you have a very wealthy family, and on the other poor people. obviously therefore it is a sort of punishment for this gap between the two groups of people. the hinduja family have appealed the verdict and are now believed to be in monaco. so, despite the sentences they are not, or are not yet, going to prison. but this high—profile case is not the first time that geneva's rich and powerful are alleged to have mistreated their servants. it is a reminder that behind the wealth and elegance there is a darker side to the city. imogen foulkes, bbc news, geneva. a large group of ethiopian soldiers are reported to have entered the somali town of mataban, in the central hiraan region. local residents said they saw about 4000 heavily armed troops crossing the border. officials said they'd been pursuing al—shabaab militants. the troops left after local police told them not to proceed without government approval. greek police have arrested 13 people on suspicion of causing a wildfire on the island of hydra, south of athens. the local fire service blamed it on fireworks launched from a private yacht, and there have been calls for the vessel to be confiscated. they shared this photo on their facebook page — but it is unclear if this yacht was the one that launched the fireworks. our europe regional editor, danny aeberhard, explained where the anger is directed. this is definitely directed at the people who allegedly set off fireworks. we're not quite clear at this stage, because there is an investigation ongoing at the moment. so, there's some reports that it may have been fireworks, other reports it may have been flares that which, obviously, boats have on them to warn for emergencies, for example. and the fire itself is in this rather inaccessible part in the south—west of hydra. and overnight there was a massive operation, including boats, to try to get firefighters to this beach, because there are no roads to this beach. helicopters have been used as well. and they have actually managed to contain the fire. but the anger is basically that it's very evident in greece that there's a very high fire risk. greece last week experienced the earliest heat wave since records have begun, that's three days over 38 degrees consecutively, so warnings have been going out. this particular area was under a high fire risk as well. so, people are saying this is stupid. you know, what on earth were they doing? it is quite a strong response, isn't it? for firefighters to put that on the facebook page. it's quite a strong statement, isn't it? well, i imagine that this is the local firefighting group. i imagine they would be particularly angry. i mean, this is not like a lightning strike, at least from initial investigations. and the mayor of the island of hydra is at the moment he's expressed his outrage at what he called irresponsible behaviour. montenegro has vowed to clamp down on organised crime, after a explosion blamed on a gang feud. two people died and three were injured in the blast near a sports centre in the town of cetinje. the country has promised repeatedly to crack down on organised crime and corruption, as part of efforts to join the european union. sport now — and a quick look at the results from the euros. georgia have drawn 1—1 against the czech republic. also in group f, portugal have beaten turkey 3—0. that result means the portuguese have now qualified for the tournament knockout phase. taylor swift's record—breaking eras tour continues in london this weekend, with an estimated 700,000 swifties heading to the capital across her eight dates — bringing a major boost to the economy. well, among the crowd last night was prince william and his children, george and charlotte. this selfie was posted on the prince of wales' official instagram — while taylor swift shared another on hers, also featuring her boyfriend, american footballer travis kelce. the future king was also spotted shaking his arms to shake it off as he celebrated his 42nd birthday at the concert. further is when flying in a china's funan province when one of the world's fast this bodes took offence at a drown. this was the moment the peregrine falcon attacked the down while it was flying through a canyon. the attack left park members quite surprise. this was the bird reminding visitors of the pecking order within this park. do not mess with that peregrine falcon, for sure. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. many of us have seen some warm sunshine today. yesterday, temperatures reached 26 degrees at heathrow airport. today wasn't as warm in the south east and across east anglia, where we've seen some showers. those showers have been moving away from the east coast. and the change that's coming in next is arriving in the north—west of the uk, where we're seeing more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland, that could bring one or two spots of rain. that damp weather, cloudy weather will push down overnight to northern england, wales and the south—west. these areas a bit misty, may well be some hill fog around as well, but either side of that band of cloud we've got clearer skies and typical temperatures, 10 or 11 degrees. it's going to warm up tomorrow. temperatures tomorrow are going to be higher than today. it's the first sign of things starting to heat up over the coming few days. still got that cloudy start, though, for northern england, wales and the south—west. any drizzle won't last long at all. cloud will tend to lift, but spread across to the midlands and eventually into the south—east of england. sunnier skies develop across other parts of england and wales, and plenty of sunshine to come this time for scotland and northern ireland, with light winds. and it will be warmer, temperatures two, three degrees higher than today. we may make 25 degrees in the south—east of england once again. and the pollen levels are still going to be very high for all of the uk but the far north of scotland. and temperatures will continue to climb as we move into the beginning of next week underneath this area of high pressure, and that's going to keep those weather fronts at bay for the time being towards the north—west. we're going to find a bit of a misty start in the south—west of the uk, sunshine elsewhere. but i think as temperatures rise, so will bubble up the cloud tend to spread it out a little bit into the afternoon as well. but it's continuing to warm up. temperatures higher again on monday, widely the mid 20s, as that heat pushes into scotland and northern ireland, 27 degrees in the south—east of england. now, as we move into tuesday, this weather front will eventually bring a little rain to scotland and northern ireland, but still dry and very warm with some sunshine for england and wales. and the heat is going to continue to build. today temperatures near normal. it's warmer on sunday, but into the early part of next week those temperatures really do climb, and it could be that the heat lasts a little bit longer before the weather breaks and eventually we get some showers. this is bbc news, the headlines... officials in gaza say at least
