9:33 pm
yolande knell reports fanning the flames of a bitter conflict. this year has seen a dramatic rise in violence and vandalism committed by radicaljewish settlers against palestinians in the occupied west bank. the palestinian village of burqa recently mourned a 19—year—old, shot dead. locals say they had rushed to protect their farmland from armed settlers. in an unusually strong rebuke, the us called his killing jewish terrorism. his relative's afraid to show her face. no one knows who the next one will be, no one is going to protect us. if, and god forbid, there are any other confrontations or attacks, our government cannot legally do anything. israel has full control over 60% of the west bank and its soldiers protect hundreds of thousands of settlers.
9:34 pm
most of the world sees all of the settlements as illegal, but israel is approving an increasing number and new, unauthorised jewish outposts are also being set up, like one in this olive grove owned by palestinians from burqa. this man tells me the bible is the deed to this hilltop. and far right members of the israeli cabinet share his ideology. translation: we have an expectation | from the government of those elected | by right—wing votes to settle the land, expand the settlements and not hurt them. our vision is that all the land of israel will be settled withjews. these rolling hills are all part of the west bank. palestinians who live here have long hoped it will make a large chunk of a state of their own. but with hardline israeli ministers totally opposed to that now in power, building in settlements is being approved at record speed. the goal is to cement an israeli
9:35 pm
presence to change the landscape. without grazing land for their sheep, palestinian herders worry for their future. this month, nearly 90 people fled from the slopes where they had lived for generations, blaming settler harassment. this man tells me that the settler harassment became unbearable. translation: they used to stop outside our house at midnight - and honk their car horns, or send kids to harassers. or send kids to harass us. they would scare sheep and block them in or empty our water tank. settlers are emboldened by the new political reality of israel. there is a sense of impunity and that adds to palestinian resentment. with huge new investment and settlements, hostility is here only looks set to deepen. yolande knell, bbc news. lord peter ricketts, former nato ambassador, and political analyst dahlia

is illegal to have any formal relations with the israeli government and urban riots in fighting and angry responses to it. ijust fighting and angry responses to it. i just wonder if one story flows from the other, really? there she had to flee the country and the connection is essentially that benjamin netanyahu's approach to government is been so embattled and tried to establish big foreign—policy headlines and breakthroughs and he had significant breakthroughs and he had significant breakthroughs with the abraham accords and the agreements with four different arab countries and a complete revolution in israel foreign relations where he was not forced to concede anything to the palestinians. this was necessarily benjamin netanyahu's doing and that's part of this week, made the unwise decision to reveal this meeting publicly although his office claimed it was being leaked already

hello from the bbc sport centre. i'm gavin ramjaun. action from the us open to come in a few moments — but first some more on the breaking news this hour — and the regional and territorial federations of the spanish football federation have asked for the resignation of president luis rubiales. in a statement released in the last hour, the rfef said: "after the latest events and the unacceptable they went on to say they will urge the corresponding bodies to carry out a deep and imminent organic restructuring in strategic positions of the federation to give way well, the statement comes on a big day of developments surrounding the incident. spain's top criminal court has
9:52 pm
opened a preliminary investigation into rubiales. after he kissed player jenni hermoso on the lips — rubiales insists it was consensual — something hermoso denies. the prosecutors are looking into whether the incident amounts to a crime of sexual assault. the spanish government has also asked for spain's sports tribunal to suspend rubiales. and in a final development — it's been reported rubiales' mother has locked herself in a church, and gone on hunger strike. with what she says is an inhuman hunt against her son. to new york next — where it's been a day to remember for british tennis player lily miyazaki at the us open. on her grand slam main draw debut — she's beaten russia's margarita betova, in the opening round at flushing meadows. miyazaki took the first set 6—3. after coming back from a break down, and then took the second by the same scoreline, to book her place in round two — where she'll face the olympic champion belinda bencic next. no problems for the world number one
9:53 pm
and defending champion iga swiatek. she eased past sweden's rebekah peterson, winning injust under an hour, and dropping just one game in the straight sets win. we have had a couple of shock early exits, though, including the eighth—seed maria sakkari. she was beaten in straight sets by spain's rebeka masarova, a player ranked 63 places below her. and in the men's draw, the fourth—seed holger rune is out in the opening round. he was beaten in four sets by roberto carballes baena, a player ranked 59 places below him. 25th—seed alexander bublik is also out, losing in straight sets to the 2020 champion dominic thiem. later on, the three—time us open champion novak djokovic is on court as he looks to win a record—extending 24th men's grand slam title. he plays the frenchman alexandre muller in the opening round, and djokovic says he's excited to return after a two—year absence from flushing meadows. he missed last year's event due to his covid vaccine status. every grand slam that i play right now is really a golden opportunity to make more history. of course there is a big significance to that. i wouldn't say, it adds a bit
9:54 pm
more the fact i haven't played here for two years, it's just the feeling is pretty much the same. there is always expectations and ambition and excitement to win the title, and that's the same this year. romelu lukaku looks as though he's heading back to italy once more. the chelsea striker is set to join serie a side roma on a season—long loan. lukaku had been on loan at inter milan last season and was expected to return, but that hasn't materialised. the move to roma would see lukaku reunited withjose mourinho, who he played under at chelsea and at manchester united. nottingham forest have lodged an official complaint with premier league match officials over the performance of refereeing in their 3—2 defeat at manchester united this weekend. forest boss steve cooper was critical of the officiating, which saw forest have their captain joe worrall sent off and have a penalty given against them. stuart atwell was the man in charge. commonwealth games 10,000—metres champion eilish mccolgan has
9:55 pm
revealed she spent five "distressing" days in hospital last week because of a "fluid leak" in her spine. mccolgan was forced to pull out of the world athletics championships in budapest this month with a knee injury, but now has this as a separate issue and admits she will "have to be very patient" with her recovery. belgium's remco evenepoel has won stage three of the vuelta a espana, the first summit finish of the race and moves into the leader's red jersey. the belgian, who led the giro d'italia earlier this year before pulling out through illness, pulled clear of tour de france—winnerjonas vingegaard with 200 metres to go in andorra. evenepoel then crashed through a gaggle of camerapeople after he crossed the line, suffering a cut to his face in the process. and that's all the sport for now. hello. many of us had some very potent, heavy downpours to endure
9:56 pm
on saturday and sunday. monday's showers were, generally speaking, lighter in nature. now, tomorrow, there will be some showers once again, and actually, they could be set to turn heavier as this cold front pushes its way southwards and eastwards. along the line of this weather front, we could see some very heavy downpours, maybe the odd thunderstorm. we'll see some of that heavy, thundery rain pushing its way south—eastwards across scotland overnight. some showery rain, too, into parts of northern ireland and northern england. ahead of that, quite a lot of cloud, but behind it, clear skies developing across much of scotland and northern ireland by dawn. so that means a mostly sunny start here as our band of showers pushes southwards and eastwards across england and wales. the showers tending to ease off for a time, but i think as we head into the afternoon and that showery rain gets down into the south—east corner, well, it could pep up once again. and at the same time, another band of heavy showers and the odd thunderstorm will push southwards across scotland. temperature—wise, we're looking
9:57 pm
at values between 15—21 degrees. and then as we move through tuesday evening, along the line of our cold front, we could see the odd thunderstorm in the south—east corner. our area of low pressure still fairly close by on wednesday, so there will still be some showers, especially across northern and eastern parts of the uk. further south and west, more in the way of dry weather, some spells of sunshine before our next weather system begins to push in from the west. wednesday's temperatures generally between 15—20, maybe up to 21 degrees. now, as we move into thursday, we will see our next weather system running in from the atlantic. that will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain. there's uncertainty aboutjust how far north this rain may come. particularly it will affect southern parts of england, wales, the midlands, but we could see some rain into parts of northern england and northern ireland as well. much of scotland looks set to be dry with some spells of sunshine, and temperatures north to south 14—19, maybe up to 20 degrees. for the end of the week and certainly into the weekend,
9:58 pm
it looks like high pressure is going to try to build. now, there's a bit of uncertainty about this, about how strongly the high will build, but there certainly are signs that as we move through the end of the week, into the weekend, we could see some drier weather.
