hello, i'm lukwesa burak. in the uk, the opposition labour party is calling for an urgent audit of the concrete in public buildings, with some hospitals and courts known to contain the potential dangerous type known as raac. more than 150 schools in england and 35 in scotland were found to contain the material and so have had to completely or partially close. investigations in wales and northern ireland are continuing. harry farley has the latest. emergency classrooms being set up in bingley, west yorkshire. more schools are expected to close next week. parents are facing an anxious wait to know whether it's safe for their children to return to the classroom. in one school, i have ten rooms

and a staff room i cannot use. my second school, 16 rooms, the gymnasium and some toilets. and in my third school, 12 rooms. so you can see it's quite considerable. but it's notjust schools. other public buildings are also affected, like harrow crown court, which could be shut for months. and 2a hospital sites, like hitchin brook hospital in huntington, also have weak concrete. they're spending millions on surveys about what is safe, and what is not, and millions in mitigationjust to keep the building safe and open. and so, this is a really big challenge, and frankly, any building mainly built with raac is past its sell—by—date, and will need to be replaced, so there is a very big bill for the taxpayer. this is the aerated concrete used in buildings in the 1960s, �*70s and �*80s that is causing so much concern. we don't really know- the scale of the problem. there is no central record. although individual government departments are being required to keep a log, that's.

not public information. do we know about that risk in schools and also in hospitals and other public buildings? have you come across it in other types of buildings as well, in your experience? the areas that i've seen it- in office buildings and shopping centres tends to be in incidental parts of the building rather- than the building as a whole. so a plant room or a store room or something of that nature. - a non—public area. the government said it contacted schools like this one in brixton because guidance on raac changed, so some pupils here will be relocated to another school while repairs take place. but with no firm idea of the scale of the problem, this could just be the start of a much wider issue. harry farley, bbc news. the british home secretary, suella braverman, has asked for a review of police impartiality after accusing some officers in england and wales of being involved in political matters. the police federation, which represents officers, said the government was constantly

changing the goal posts — one minute wanting officers to be more involved, the next asking them to act like robots. police in israel have opened an investigation into the use of live fire by officers during clashes in tel aviv between rival groups of eritrean asylum seekers, which left nearly 150 people injured. some suffered gunshot wounds and are in a serious condition. israeli media report it was the first use of live fire on protesters inside israel since the second intifada in 2000. investigators are now gathering evidence from the scene to determine if the officers behaved according to the law. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell, is following developments from jerusalem. well, this was an event that was organised by the eritrean embassy, a kind of festival event.

it had hired a hall not far away from the embassy, to the centre, south of tel aviv. and earlier in the week, as you were saying, there were activists within the eritrean community, they mostly reside in the south of tel aviv, who had warned against hosting this. they say that the authorities didn't heed their warnings. certainly the israeli authorities, the police, the hospitals as well seem to have been really caught by surprise with what happened here. there were attempts to break through police barricades. the israeli police then ended up using all of these different riot control methods, as they described them, to try to push people back. but you could see as well from some of the videos that have been shared on social media that there were actually also street fights going on, notjust with the police, but also involving asylum seekers who are against the eritrean regime and those who are in favour of it. and that has been something that we've seen in the past,

not on this scale, in the south of tel aviv. there has been previous violence between the two sides. professor kjetil tronvoll is an eritrea expert at the oslo new university college. he explained to me why the migrants in israel had left eritrea. they have fled one of the most repressive and human rights abusing regimes in the world. president isaias afwerki has ruled eritrea with an iron fist since he came to power in 1991, and he is still there. so, today's clashes, you have supporters and opposition, government supporters, coming together and clashing. how will this be regarded by eritrea? it is a clear signal because this event in tel aviv follows a similar scenario in germany earlier this summer, in stockholm, and in canada and the us, and even this evening

in bergen in norway, there have been demonstrations and clashes between eritrean immigrants to norway. so, it is a way for the new wave of eritrean refugees to raise a critique against the regime back home, and these cultural festivals, as they are called, is the new battleground to fight the regime back home. i mean, president afwerki has been in power since 1991, since independence. what impression, or how is he regarded by the international community? i think, in most of the international community, at least the western world, looks upon him as the dictator he is. but the new geopolitical play in the horn of africa region makes him relevant in a different way today than a few years back. you have sudan in civil war, you have chaos in ethiopia,

and middle east and russia and china is also very actively involved in positioning themselves in the horn of africa, and eritrea then becomes a useful pawn in many ways, so there is a bit of hesitation towards how the new international relations are reconfigured towards eritrea. so what we are seeing, then, and you have named a number of other protests, violent scenes that we've seen across europe, but going back to what we saw in israel, in tel avivjust a number of hours ago, what is mr netanyahu likely to do about this? because there have been many fingers of blame to point at various organisations as to why it was allowed to get to this point. there had been warnings that there would be violence. yes, and i'm a bit surprised to hear the israeli police were taken off guard because this was announced,

so to say, that it would happen, the counter—demonstrations against the celebration. i think the israeli government is known to be rather harsh on its immigrant policies. one thing that might happen is that they will have an investigation into who these refugees actually are who are supporting the regime they fled from. it might be that if we look into these cases to see the possibility of return, for instance, as israel has shown willingness earlier to do. and very quickly, finally, how long do eritrean migrants tend to stay in a place where they are unwelcome, in israel? it depends on what kind of status they apply for. if they apply for humanitarian or political asylum, they want to stay as residents or citizens for that matter. israel is also very effective at pushing emigrants back out again, and they have to flee to a second country.

president biden is in florida on a visit to inspect the destruction left by hurricane idalia. the category 3 storm made landfall on wednesday morning along florida's big bend region, causing widespread flooding and damage, before moving north to georgia and the carolinas. the president and his wife, jill, have taken an aerial tour of the damage in live oak — in the northern part of the state — and met communities affected by the hurricane. but mr biden will not meet florida's republican governor and 2024 presidential hopeful, ron desantis, who suggested a meeting could hinder disaster response efforts. the president has been speaking in the last few minutes — let's listen in. 20 states sent workers to try to

re—establish connections in the state. i have been in frequent touch with governor desantis since the storm made landfall, and my administrator travelled to florida on wednesday night after having been here earlier, and i approved a request that governor desantis asked for a major disaster declaration. the same time a request from the governor of south for emergency declaration, just get help immediately. —— south carolina. and we are making federal assistance available for florida survivors whose homes and businesses are damaged and destroyed. bereaved parents have been expressing their disgust

at a macabre tiktok trend in which artificial intelligence is used to create videos which depict real—life child murder victims. the videos, which are made without the consent of relatives, show crudely animated versions of children, some of them babies, talking about how they were killed. earlier, i spoke to bbc trending's ed main, who has been investigating the phenomenon. what you see in these videos is a sort of partially animated figure of a child, and they have been given computer—generated voices with which they tell you the stories of their lives but, more particularly, the circumstances of their deaths. now, some of the children in these videos look nothing like the child they are supposed to represent, but others are based on genuine photos. now, since around april, waves of these videos have started appearing on tiktok. and some of them have had millions of views, and that has encouraged other people to make more videos, or to share them elsewhere, in the hope

of getting more followers. and, obviously, the families have been appalled by this. yes. these videos have been described to us as being an emotional assault on bereaved families, the families whose children feature in these videos. and that is because there is something about seeing a child or a representation of a child speaking in the first person that sort of crosses a line. we spoke to a canadian woman called amelie lemieux, who, earlier this year, was alerted to the fact that a tiktok had been made about one of her two murdered daughters. she couldn't watch to the end, and described her experience as being worse than the worst uppercut you could imagine. and in this country, denise fergus, the motherjames bulger, the two—year—old who was killed in merseyside in 1993, spoke about this injuly. she said at that time that videos that had been made that were based onjames were worse than sick.

tiktok took down more than 100 videos that were based onjames at that time. so what are tiktok saying about this incident? well, tiktok. .. one of the strange things about this trend is that it only really took off after tiktok banned ai versions of real—life young people in march. and when they took down those videos ofjames bulger injuly, they restated that policy and said there was no place for this kind of disturbing content on our platform, and we will take it down as we find it. but it is fair to say that, even now, you can find numerous videos based on other children on the platform, and tiktok are very open about this, saying, "we won't be able "to catch everything." thanks very much, ed, and you can hear more about this on the bbc trending podcast on bbc sounds.

now it's time for a look at today's sport with gavin ramjaun. we start in the premier league, where it was a bit of a goalsfest on saturday — six matches played, 26 goals scored, which included three hat—tricks, one of which came at manchester city as they maintained their perfect start. they thrashed fulham 5—1, erling haaland with three of the goals — his fifth hat—trick for city since joining them last summer. julian alvarez and nathan ake scored the others as city made it four wins from four to sit top of the table. five goals at burnley too, but not for the home side. instead, a day to remember for tottenham and son heung—min, who scored three of them in a 5—2 win. three league wins in a row now for tottenham, and they're up to second. burnley are bottom. we got tested early, going a goal behind. it will happen in a game of football. we knew burnley would press us.

i liked the way we handled that, we kept calm and played our football, we worked hard as a unit. the second half, we went up a gear and took our chances. in the final third in the first half we were wasteful. but the second half we were outstanding. the third hat—trick came at brighton as evan ferguson scored all of brighton's goals as they beat newcastle 3—1. elsewhere, nottingham forest shocked chelsea, beating them 1—0, whilst there were draws at sheffield united and brentford. in scotland, st mirren are the new leaders of the scottish premiership — but onlyjust — after they scored a 96th minute equaliser livingstone. a draw too at stjohnstone while ross county beat kilmarnock. in france, monaco look as if they're going to the top of ligue 1. they're beating lens 2—0. whilst in spain, jude bellingham scored a 95th—minute winner on his home debut as real madrid beat getafe 2—1. the win maintains real�*s perfect start with four wins from four. elsewhere, real sociedad won an eight—goal thriller whilst alaves beat valencia. in italy, napoli are heading towards a surprise defeat to lazio.

they're losing 2—1 at home against a side that is yet to win this season. in germany, bayer leverkusen have gone top after thrashing darmstadt 5—1. a big win too for wolfsburg whilst bayern munich needed mathys tel to pop up with an 87th—minute winner to come from behind and beat borussia monchengladbach. away from all the football, carlos alcaraz remains on course to defend his us open title. the world number one is into the fourth round at flushing meadows, beating britain's dan evans in four sets. alcaraz will now face the italian metteo arnaldi next after he knocked out another brit, cameron norrie, in straight sets. in the women's draw, aryna sabalenka remains on course for a third us open semifinal in a row. she's into the last 16 after beating france's clara burel in straight sets. there was a thrilling finish to qualifying for saturday's italian grand prix and, for once, the session didn't end successfully for max verstappen. the world champion looked as though

he would claim pole position until ferrari's carlos sainz snatched top spot in the dying seconds, much to the delight of the monza crowd, sainz beating verstappen byjust a hundredth of a second. there was a surprise defeat for england's women in the second of three t20s against sri lanka. batting first, england were humilated, bowled out forjust104 in 18 overs. 0nly charlie dean scored more than 1a. sri lanka had no problem chasing it down, reaching their target in the 14th over with eight wickets in hand. that levels the series at 1—1 with the decider on wednesday. there was a great finish to stage eight of the vuelta a espana as three—time champion primoz roglic won his first stage of this year's race. he overtook remco evenepoel in a sprint finish to claim victory on the 103—mile stage. american sepp kuss finished seventh to replace replaced lenny martinez as the leader in the general classification standings, opening up a 43 second lead. and that's all the sport for now.

sales of dashcams in the uk have boomed in recent years, which means bad drivers are far more likely to be caught on film, creating a wealth of potential evidence. lincolnshire police are inviting motorists to submit footage of incidents, leading to hundreds of warnings and penalty points. crispin rolfe has the story. you can't police every road, but it does help when drivers have dashcams... ..to capture moments like this. for the last two years, lincolnshire police have been asking people to send in their own windscreen footage in the hope that it'll encourage some drivers to do better. the difference it makes is, if somebody is considering doing a risky overtake, driving in an inappropriate manner,

theyjust don't know who's watching them and filming them. and if this just stops one person from doing something like that and saves a life, then it's a job well done. over the last year, lincolnshire police have received around 2,000 dashcam videos uploaded to their 0peration snap website. many of those have come to nothing, but some, two thirds of them, have resulted in warnings or offences which either saw three points and a fine handed out or some even with court appearances. and the idea of uploading your dangerous driver dashcam footage to the police is clearly becoming more popular, with officers seeing an increase in the last few months. the question is, would you do it? oh, well, we've had a few incidents with dashcams, haven't we? we have. i'm not sure i'm brave enough to hand it in. i no. but i think it's a good idea. would you hand it over? i would certainly hand it over. reason being, there are too many dangerous drivers on the road. not if it was a dodgy driver.

only if somebody was putting somebody's life... ..putting them in danger. well, not everyone�*s convinced, and even the institute of advanced motorists has a warning. do you think this idea of getting people to hand over their dashcam when they see dodgy driving, is that right? the threat of getting caught - on a dashcam may prevent people doing something wrong. obviously, somebody that - puts their footage forward has to consider the implications of them being the ones going _ into court to defend _ what they've seen as a witness. of course, truly dangerous driving costs lives, which is why all this dashcam footage is being welcomed by lincolnshire police. crispin rolfe, bbc news. australia has launched an operation to rescue a researcher who requires specialist medical treatment but is working thousands of kilometres away on a remote outpost in antarctica. a ship has been sent after an evacuation by air was ruld out due to harsh weather conditions.

nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more. this is the icebreaker that is being sent on the mission to rescue the researcher who has what is said to be a developing medical condition. now, it has taken weeks to get this vessel ready, including equipping it with helicopters. now, to give you a sense of the scale of the operation, take a look at this map. it is leaving from hobart in tasmania, and it is on a journey all the way to the casey research station in antarctica, which, of course, is one of the most inhospitable places on the planet. indeed, the journey is 3,443 kilometres, from hobart all the way down to casey station. now, the icebreaker has a top speed of around 30 kilometres an hour, so it is going to take days to get there. now, an air rescue from the nearby wilkins runway was ruled out. the reason for that is that the runway there is made of ice, and it is unstable during the winter. indeed, reports suggest it would take weeks to get it up

to a standard that it could be used, so it was much quicker to actually send the icebrea ker. now, the research station itself has around 20 staff during the winter months, but medical facilities are limited. now, we don't know what the condition of the researcher is, but the australian antarctic programme told the bbc that, "the well—being of our people is our highest priority." now, australia says that all researchers sent to the base undergo extensive medical examinations before they depart and they say that all the other personnel on the base are safe and accounted for. king charles and queen camilla have attended their first braemar gathering as monarchs, along with the princess royal. the event, the most famous highland games in scotland, takes place every september and is considered a favourite of the royal family. our royal correspondent, daniela relph, reports. applause

leading the royal party, for the first time as king and queen. no royal family summer break in scotland is complete without a visit to the braemar highland gathering. # god save our gracious king...# the king was wearing a kilt made from the newly created king charles iii tartan, as he watched this celebration of highland culture and traditions. the king first came here as a young boy with his mother, queen elizabeth. she was a regular spectator throughout her 70—year reign and the images of her here with her family were a view of her at her most relaxed. this year's gathering is the first since her death last september and the memories of queen elizabeth remain strong. one of the everlasting memories i have is the whole royal family in there, watching i think it was the sack race and the little kiddies,

and whatever happened everybody was bursting with laughter. that memory will stay with me for a long time. that tradition of seeing the royal family at its most informal continued today. since 1832, kings and queens have been visitors here to see the traditional games of the highlands. but this year was, perhaps, bittersweet. as the royal family prepare for the first anniversary of the death of the queen, she was one of this event's most loyal supporters. daniela relph, bbc news. bradley cooper's new movie, maestro, based on the life of conductor and composer leonard bernstein, has had its world premiere at the venice film festival, but the star wasn't there. instead, leonard bernstein's children, jamie, nina and alexander, walked the red carpet. bradley cooper is not in venice because of the hollywood

actors�* strike that prevents promotional work. the movie has attracted some criticism over the size of cooper's prosthetic nose, which some social media users said played up to offensive jewish stereotypes. stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. one of the features of this year's summer season is temperatures didn't get that high. 32 celsius is the highest temperature of the year. more often than not, we've seen temperatures into the mid 20s, and, although we might not quite reach 32, in the week ahead, 29 or 30 degrees is possible. so, some of the warmest weather of the year so far. there has been plenty of sunshine today. this was mevagissey in cornwall earlier today. the early morning cloud melting away across most of the uk to reveal those sunny skies and,

yes, it felt pleasantly warm, with temperatures pushing on into the mid 20s across parts of south—east england and the midlands as well. overnight tonight, the majority stay dry, a few mist and fog patches possible. however, for northern scotland, outbreaks of rain will turn more persistent and heavier here through the night. temperatures on the mild side with 12 to 15 celsius, and looking at the weather picture over the next few days, we have this area of high pressure to thank for the fine, settled, sunny spell of weather that most of us will see. just a few weather fronts skirting around the periphery of that high. one of those weather fronts will be with us for northern scotland on sunday, and here, the cloud will be thick enough for occasional patches of rain, but away from the far north—west of scotland, it'll be another dry day, with any early morning mist and fog patches burnt out of the way. it will feel warm in that september sun, with temperatures in scotland and northern ireland of 20 to 23, warm enough. and 23 to 25 in england. and then we have more of that

september sunshine on the way as we look at the forecast deep into the new week. this is how monday looks. it is just the far north scotland where you might see a few passing patches of rain, with orkney, shetland, the hebrides, and the highlands most likely to see that. temperatures continue to rise otherwise. 27 degrees around the london area, and it is set to get even hotter than that as we get towards the middle part of the week. just the outside chance of a shower towards the south—west on tuesday. that weather front for northern scotland should get a bit more squished on tuesday, so a better chance of it staying dry and bright here as well. wherever you are, in the sunshine, it will feel pleasantly warm. that sunny, warm weather stays with us for most of the week as well. it's only really as we get into next weekend that we see a change, with the weather becoming cloudier, cooler, with the threat of some rain. but for most, a lovely spell of weather.

this is bbc news — the headlines. labour is calling for assessments of public sector buildings that may be at risk due to lightweight concrete. more than 100 schools and colleges in england have been forced to shut classrooms because of concerns about the material. police in israel have opened an investigation into the use of live fire by officers during clashes in tel aviv between rival groups of eritrean asylum seekers, which left nearly 150 people injured.

the us president and first lady have arrived in florida to survey the damage caused by hurricane idalia. the trip includes a visit to the community of live oak, an aerial tour of the damage and receive a briefing about recovery efforts. now on bbc news — the last of albania's sworn virgins.
