The israeli military said its aircraft attacked an operations centre belonging to hamas militants. Eyewitnesses told the bbc that large explosions rocked the mawasi area shortly after midnight and flames could be seen rising into the sky. We are keeping track of this development and will keep you up to date as and when we get more details. Now to in afghanistan, where life for the country s 21 million women hasjust become even tougher. Three years after the taliban s return to power, a new law has been passed saying that women must cover their face and body completely if they leave the house and their voices cannot be heard in public. Despite the risk to themselves, some women have spoken out and have been telling the bbc s yogita limaye what life is like for them now. We have hidden their identities and used actors voices to protect them. It s increasingly difficult for foreign journalists to report from afghanistan. This is yogita s report compiled along with camera journalist, sanj
So, obviously, my immediate question was, can we go? can we get there? setting it up with the ukrainians was not the hard bit. Actually, it was convincing my editors and, you know, layers of management back at the times that this was a safe thing to do, or that we could mitigate the risks involved in it. Because they weren t just about the danger there. They were also these legal risks about. . . . . The legal consequences of illegally crossing into russia, which is how the russian government have perceived the trip. But you obviously persuaded them, cos you went. Just to explain, then, who you did speak to and what the terms were. I suppose the question is, whether you were changing names to protect russians, because getting people, presumably, in russia to speak candidly to western journalists must be very hard? well, yeah, these are people who lived in a very quiet corner of russia, and probably had never had anything to do with a journalist, even a russian journalist, never mind a
The attacks left craters several metres deep. In the north of the territory, the un says a convoy of its staff carrying out polio vaccinations was held at gunpoint for eight hours by the israeli army on monday. The staff have now been released, but the un says it s not sure whether it can continue the vaccination campaign as planned. Meanwhile, syria says at least 18 people have been killed and dozens injured in a series of israeli air strikes. Syrian state media says multiple sites were targeted, including scientific research centres. Monitoring organisations say that one of the sites in the city of masyaf was housing pro iranian weapons experts. Iran rejected reports that iranian sites were hit.

In particular, bowling to complete the second hundred of his chest much career. Were england weary in this test match, a time they look. It where they complacent, they will definitely deny that. There always be definite ups than downs with their style of test match cricket, maybe this will be a sobering defeat for them as they try to develop a ruthless streak that was definitely missing in this test match. In test match cricket in places like sri lanka, well maybe this victory in the broader scheme of things is just what cricket needs. Well, england had the victory in their sights, in what was a topsy turvy match with stand in captain ollie pope s heroics from the first innings. He knows that his england side let this one slip through. We played some really good cricket through the summer but could not put it together over the four days we have here. After two days we were in a good position and did not capitalise and unfortunately with the vat we were not good enough yesterday and s
