live from washington, this is bbc news. as war rages in gaza, an israeli air strike hits the home of a doctor, killing nine of her ten children. israel says the incident is under review. russian attacks on ukraine kill more than a dozen people, as the two countries take part in day two of a major prisoner exchange. ahead of the fifth anniversary of george floyd's murder, where does america's racial reckoning stand? we look at the recent rollback of police reform and diversity initiatives. and at the cannes film festival, the prestigious palme d'or is awarded to an iranian thriller, hours after the festival was disrupted by a major power cut

across southern france. hello, i'm carl nasman. the israeli military says it is reviewing reports that one of its air strikes killed nine children from the same family in southern gaza. only one of the children survived. adam, who is 11, sustained severe injuries to his left arm. his mother, dr alaa al-najjar, is a paediatrician at nassar hospital. he was operated on by surgeon graeme groom, who told the bbc about the unbearable cruelty of what his colleague has experienced. we were in the operating theatre at the nasser hospital complex, where we've been working every day for the past ten days.

we thought the day was coming to an end and, unusually, we had a number of cases that had come straight from the emergency department. and just before we were going home, or going upstairs and finishing the day, this little boy appeared with a terrible wound to his left arm. and it was as he arrived in theatre that we heard the story that he was the sole survivor of ten brothers and sisters, that his father was badly injured, and that the only uninjured member of his family was his mother. both his parents are doctors. both work at the nasser medical complex. his father is a physician who was very badly injured with a penetrating injury to his head.

and that was the background, and that was so unbelievably tragic that we did what was necessary for him. when folk are involved in bomb blasts, his left arm was just about hanging off. he was covered in fragment injuries, and he had several substantial lacerations. he was quite a small 11-year-old. and, of course, if both parents were doctors, he would be amongst the privileged group within gaza. but as we lifted him onto the operating table, he felt much younger than 11. our colleagues, our palestinian colleagues, are unbelievably resilient. and i have the utmost

admiration for their discipline and professionalism. and so last night we just got on with the job. but as i'm sure you might imagine, there was a ghastly pall hanging over all of us, really, to think of yet another family that has been almost completely wiped out. we know that there are many, many families in gaza, more than 3,000, who have been obliterated completely. we also know that there are more than 4,000 families that have a single survivor. and it's not impossible that this family - there will only be two survivors from this family.

our little boy should survive. we don't know about his father. and i think it's unbearably cruel - unbearably cruel - that his mother, who is a paediatrician and has spent her professional life caring for children, could lose almost all her own in a single bomb or missile strike, as well as her husband. it's such a monstrous evil that an entire family should be destroyed, and we think there must be a reason. there must be a motive. so all i know is what i have asked my palestinian colleagues, and all of them say that, to the best of their knowledge, he was not involved in politics. he was not involved in militancy. he was not involved in the military wing of hamas.

but, of course, i'm only reporting what i've heard, and i heard that because i asked, because it is such an awful thing to have happened. israel does not allow international media organisations, including the bbc, to report from gaza. so our correspondent wyre davies is in jerusalem with the latest on this strike and the israeli reaction. this has been one of the most disturbing incidents since the war in gaza resumed. only one left alive. israel said it struck the area because it was targeting suspects in the area, and israel said it would look into any assertions that civilians may have been harmed. but this is the latest in a long line of incidents where entire families have been almost wiped out. israel's assertion that families should

leave war zones like khan younis for so-called safe zones elsewhere in the territory are dismissed by many people because they say there are no such things as a safe area in gaza. for example, the camp towards where many people were directed as a designated safe zone, that has been hit several times during the course of the war. earlier this week it was hit and several people were killed. even before this incident, the un secretary general had said that the people of gaza were experiencing the worst of this war. he was, of course, referring not just to the fighting but the dire humanitarian crisis. in recent days israel has said that more aid has got in. israel said it is sending in enough basic aid, but for the un, that clearly isn't enough. the 80 or 90 trucks that have got in in recent days, many of them have been looted either by armed gangs or by people desperate

for food. and the un says that that hunger, that risk of famine, won't be alleviated until 500 or 600 trucks a day are allowed into gaza. all the while, there is increasing international pressure on benjamin netanyahu to end the war, to end the fighting. but he says that will not happen. the war will not and until hamas is completely defeated. now to some developing news. ukraine has reported a renewed drone attack on kyiv. officials say around a dozen russian drones reached the city's airpsace, with more expected. meanwhile russia's defence ministry says it has repelled dozens of ukrainian drones, including near moscow. it comes hours after russia launched one of its biggest assaults on kyiv since the war began. explosions lit up the night sky in kyiv, beginning friday night. homes, businesses and vehicles

were damaged by strikes or falling debris. across the country, officials say at least 13 people were killed and 56 injured since friday. in kyiv alone, the ukrainian air force says russia launched 250 drones and 14 ballistic missiles. ukraine's president, volodomyr zelensky, called the attacks vile and pleaded with allies to send more air defences. our correspondent james waterhouse sent this report from kyiv. it is russian missiles that rule kyiv's skies. the sound of hundreds of drones taunted those trying to sleep below. this one hit a suburban area. president zelensky has again called for russia to face more pressure to agree to a ceasefire, because all signs point to moscow wanting the opposite. on ukraine's northern border, there was relief for the 300 or so more soldiers exchanged and the families waiting for them.

as with yesterday's swap, they again appeared emaciated, and kyiv claims they have been tortured, brainwashed, isolated and deprived of sufficient food. hundreds more prisoners are expected to again arrive at this site, where they'll be greeted by medical teams, and this agreement seems to be holding. it's the only area of cooperation between ukraine and russia, and despite the palpable relief felt by some here as they're reunited with their loved ones, the idea of a ceasefire does not feel any closer. on the russian side, footage released by the kremlin showed soldiers cheering next to a russian and soviet union flag. moscow says only after the swaps have ended will it publish its conditions for peace, which still appear to be the capitulation of ukraine. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. let's speak more about the latest on the war in ukraine with john herbst,

former us ambassador to ukraine and senior director of the atlantic council's eurasia center. just starting with these russian aerial attacks on ukraine, killing several people, injuring 56 civilians across the country since friday - really russia launching just these massive attacks on kyiv. does this say to you, do you think, that moscow still believe that this is a war it can win? it certainly believes he is a war -- is what he can win, especially because right now he has president trump in his pocket. i am not sure britain is right about that, but the russians are crowing, especially since the goal that took place just on monday, that trump is doing what they want. we saw even with those attacks taking place this incredible scene, this multi- day prisoner exchange, 1000 prisoners on each side. some cooperation happening, obviously, between the two countries. could this be a small signal, anyway, that there could be a ceasefire or that they could be a larger

agreement between ukraine and russia? is absolutely no connection, i'm sorry to say, between the welcome prisoner exchange, which of course ukraine has been more anxious and russia to do, because the russians don't really care about their soldiers, ukrainians do, and steps towards peace. we've seen the terms that the russian negotiators put down in istanbul last week, which were, as your announcer said, for a capitulation piece, for subjugation to russia. we've seen statements made by lavrov not just reiterating the subjugation terms moscow is demanding, but even president trump saying of course the vatican can't be a venue. moscow believes they are able to do what they will because they believe that the united states is backing away from ukraine. given what's happened in washington, given what president trump has said over the past seven or eight days, i understand why the russians say that, but there are factors,

including the administration, which may move things different direction. i say may, i don't say definitely will. it is curious, because we had such a hard line from european leaders, they were demanding that russia signed onto an immediate 30 day ceasefire. there were threats of sanctions if they didn't do so. are you surprised that that's kind of fallen the table - that we haven't seen no sanctions yet, even after that call took place? it really seems like russia wasn't getting any closer to really coming to the table. i understand your question. i believe this reflects calculations amongst the european leaders, who wanted to do sanctions if russia did not agree to a ceasefire. they want to keep the trump white house on their side. and since they thought when they called president trump from kyiv, i think that was on 12 may, two sundays ago, they thought they had his agreement. but it was clear

after putin said, well, let's have direct negotiations, that trump was not going along with him on sanctions. so i think they're still working to see if they can maintain transatlantic unity on this question. and don't rule out that possibility, although right now that does not seem to be the likelihood. speaking of transatlantic unity, the next nato summit now exactly one month away. president trump is expected to be there. what do you think will be on the agenda? what will you be looking for those probably pretty big discussions? i would assume that the conflict in ukraine would be top of the agenda. well, certainly moscow's aggression in ukraine will be very high on the agenda. so too will our nato allies be looking for further statements from trump and his team about their commitment to nato. i think we saw such statements after the security conference, but i know still some anxiety amongst the us's nato allies about how committed trump is to nato. but i think

this is something which is probably heading in the right direction, and i think we'll see that at that summit. but the one question where i am not sure we'll see complete agreement is on how ukraine is treated. i know that many of our nato allies want ukraine to attend. at this point it's not clear that the trump administration wants that, so that is clearly something to keep in mind as we head towards the hague for the summit. don herbst, former us ambassador to ukraine, thank you for your insights. my pleasure to be with you. thank you very much. this weekend marks five years since the murder of george floyd. the 46-year-old black man was killed during a police arrest in minneapolis in 2020. video of derek chauvin, a white police officer, kneeling on mr floyd's neck for around nine minutes as he struggled to breathe sparked global protests and a national conversation about racial injustice. five years on, the trump administration is rolling back many of the policies prompted by the black lives matter

movement, like police reform, and diversity, equity and inclusion programmes. earlier this week the justice department moved to drop biden-era police reform efforts in minneapolis and louisville, kentucky, the site of another high-profile killing. breonna taylor, a 26-year-old black woman, was fatally shot by police in 2020 during a no-knock raid of her home. the department of justice says it is dismissing lawsuits on police violence in the two cities, claiming the investigations wrongly equated statistical disparities with intentional discrimination and relied on "flawed methodologies and incomplete data". the doj also claimed that any resulting reforms led to micromanagement of law enforcement by federal courts and expensive independent monitors. let's get more now on the impact of george floyd's death with jenn rolnick borchetta, deputy project director on policing at the aclu. first of all, i think it's

interesting to look back over these past five years. the impacts of the killing of george floyd. how much do you think that has changed policing and police departments across the us? well, i think that the protests in response to the horrific police murder of george floyd really showed a unified voice demanding change, and in the wake of that demand, there has been change across the country and there has been a commitment to addressing these problems, because there is still today, i think, a commitment, and understanding, that we all deserve to be safe, and safety has to include safety from police violence. now, part of the change that was being sought by a lot of communities that you are just talking about in these places, the biden doj investigated for police misconduct. and the doj under biden found widespread

police abuses - things like excessive force, where people were shot at, tasered, beaten, who posed no threat at all. people were targeted because of their race, and this was uncovered by the biden administration, in part in response to all of the outrage over the george floyd killing. and i think that commitment continues today, and we see it in some of the communities that are still promising to continue with reform, despite the abandonment of trump's doj. yes, we may not be seeing that commitment at the very top. we heard there the trump administration dropping its federal oversight of several different police departments across the country. what's your reaction to that? was that the right move? that was the wrong move. trump's doj has put communities at risk because it is ignoring documented police abuse in these communities.

that is not the result of bad apples but of departmentwide problems that can be avoided - problems with policies and trainers that really leave people at risk. at the aclu, we are working with our affiliates in these places and community groups to demand information about the continued problems in these departments with excessive force on racial targeting, so that reform can continue to move forward, despite this abandonment by trump. it really is a performance that's really in error, and i think, we think, will put people at of harm because it suggests that police abuses ok. what about what we heard there from the trump justice department official calling this federal oversight of police department 's micromanaging, saying they are based on unrealistic and idealistic expectations. is there anything to that? should these sorts of reforms and oversight be taking place at

the local level rather than from washington, dc? oversight from the department of justice is critically important. the department of justice has an ability to really look at what's causing widespread police abuse like that and to identify the reforms that are needed. and so the reforms might be detailed, but that's because detail is necessary to fix these problems. and the local communities were advocating for these changes. the local officials were agreeing to these changes. and by pulling away from the reforms now, the trump doj is really abandoning those communities when they are asking for the doj's help. so i don't think that i put much into trump's doj saying that this is a favour, when it's really a harm. imagine some of those communities, think minneapolis was definitely one of them, that they didn't want to go forward with these changes and reforms. what will the impact be? will we see a

continuation of reform, or will this pullback from the federal government put an end to that? we expect the reform will continue, and we hope it well. it will require local officials to continue to act and where local officials are promising reform, they have to commit to actually doing the changes that are needed. and again, we think it will take local community commitment. we are working with people and community groups in a lot of these places because it takes that kind of collaboration to really push for reforms. and we do believe and have hope that that will happen - that reform will happen in these places. great to talk to you, deputy project director on policing at the aclu. let's turn to some other important news around the world. president trump has told graduates at america's west point their jobs is to win wars, not to transform foreign cultures. mr trump criticised his

predecessors, who he said had conducted ideological experiments on us soldiers. he claimed to have liberated his troops from demeaning political training and urged them to focus on their core job - annihilating any threat to the us. police in germany say a woman accused of injuring 18 people in a mass stabbing in hamburg on friday suffers from mental illness. four people remain in serious condition after the attack at the city's main train station. a woman and three of her children have died in a fire at a home in brent in north-west london. two other members of the same family are receiving treatment in hospital. the met police said a 41-year-old man was arrested outside the properties on suspicion of murder and remains in custody. zoos and aquariums in the uk will be required to give some animals such as elephants larger enclosures as part of an overhaul of welfare standards. the changes will also mean visitors will be stopped from touching octopuses and rays, and tethering of birds of prey for long periods will be banned. zoos and aquariums have two

years to adapt to the changes. the french city of cannes suffered a total loss of power on the last day of the world-famous film festival on saturday. it happened just after 10:00am, with some film screenings shutting down midway. our correspondent hugh schofield is following from paris. for a time this morning there was panic and consternation and anxiety that the thing would be disrupted. i think fairly swiftly they realised that they were in control. in fact, the palais des festival, where the ceremony is now unfolding this minute, has its own power supply. so even though the town was hit by this power cut and restaurateurs were unable to take anything other than cash, lifts stopped, the traffic lights stopped

working, and in some cinemas where they were showing films linked to the festival, the transmission stopped. even though that all happened, i don't think there's any doubt that the ceremony itself would go ahead. and it is, but nonetheless, it's quite clear that this act of sabotage, at least it seems to me, was aimed at the festival, aimed at disrupting it and creating, you know, the huge publicity that there would have been had there been a complete shutdown. the festival's top prize, the palme d'or, has been awarded to it was just an accident, a thriller set in iran made by the dissident director jafar panahi. the film was shot in secret and based partly on panahi's own experience in iranian prisons. his last spell in prison, from which he was freed in 2023, was for protesting against the detention of two fellow filmmakers who had been critical of the authorities. in football, arsenal have won the women's champions league, pulling off a surprise victory over barcelona to claim europe's biggest

club competition. the match finished 1-0 in lisbon, with stina blackstenius scoring the winning goal for arsenal. it's the first time they've won the competition in 18 years. barcelona had been aiming for a third straight title. there were celebrations outside the stadium after the match among the four and a half thousand travelling arsenal fans, and the club's captain, kim little, said winning the champion's league was the best moment of her career. before we go, how much would you pay for a piece of formula one history? well, the ferrari driven by michael schumacher during his victories at the 2001 monaco and hungarian grand prix has sold at auction for just over $18 million. it has long been considered one of the most sought-after grand prix ferraris ever made.

the price makes it one of the most expensive f1 cars ever to go under the hammer. stay with us here on bbc news.
