live from washington, this is bbc news. immigration officials in los angeles use tear gas and batons to disperse demonstrators taking to the streets to protest the arrest of dozens of migrants. russia targets ukraine with another volley of drones and missiles, killing one person and injuring dozens more. hamas officials say six palestinians were killed in another shooting incident at an aid distribution centre in gaza. israel says soldiers fired warning shots at suspects who they believed posed a threat. and donald trump says he has "no desire" to repair his relationship with elon musk, issuing a warning to the tech billionaire over political fundraising.

hello. i'm helena humphrey. president trump's top immigration official tom homan says the administration will deploy national guard forces tonight to quell protests in los angeles. he was speaking on fox news where he argued the administration was simply enforcing the law. it is unclear if president trump has actually made a formal request for the national guard. these are large scenes where chaos broke out. the agency responsible for deportations, called the immigration and customs enforcement, or ice, says it has arrested dozens of migrants in the la area. multiple protesters had been arrested and they say they are searching for others who have perpetrated violence.

meanwhile, several congressional democrats were blocked from conducting oversight at a federal building in la where ice was detaining some migrants. received reports that they were detained in the basement without beds, food and without water - some held overnight in windowless rooms. women and children forced to sleep outside in tents. this facility, as i was told, can only hold up to 100 people. how many people are there? it is our job as members of congress to have oversight. in a statement friday, a spokesperson for ice denied allegations of mistreatment, saying ice: senior white house aide

stephen miller on saturday condemned the protests against ice raids as an "insurrection" against the united states. john torres is a former senior ice official. he was director of detention and removal operations before serving as acting ice director from 2008 to 2009. he joined me earlier with his view of what's been happening in los angeles. welcome to the programme. i would like to begin by getting your assessment of what we have seen taking place in la over the past 24 hour lives with these federal immigration raids taking place at various points across the city. it is very concerning. one of my fears from the beginning when this administration said they would start making significant arrests is that something like this would happen and possibly even worse and when i say worse i mean hopefully someone does not get hurt, and my concern

has been historically prior to cities becoming a century city and not cooperating with ice, and ice could make an arrest in a safe space but now that that is not allowed to happen, easy teams of ice agents go into the communities to make those same arrests and especially with the early priorities of this administration being to target those that are an imminent threat to the community or past criminal offences, you are going after some dangerous people in the community, and you now have the time being set at the top by the local politicians and the police chiefs and sheriffs saying they are not going to co-operate with ice and it allows some of the protesters at that point you it is ok to protest - but beyond just a simple protest or peaceful protest - but becoming violent as we are seeing in los

angeles today. in terms of the locations where people are being detained - you can talk about fashion city, home depo. people can be detained in schools or places of worship. the president says he will round up dangerous criminals. to be believed that these people at home depot were hardened criminals? i do not have all the facts. what i have seen from press and ice's report so far is by people were gang members and many have criminal backgrounds but as you take this further not everyone is going to have a criminal background beyond crossing the border illegally, which is a crime in and of itself, so there are going to be times where ice will then go with what they call worksite enforcement where they are

targeting employers who are hiring people illegally - people who do not have to work authorisation - and i can assure you there will be more protests and that takes place. when it comes to those kinds of people - when it comes to immigration violations or work violations - from what you have seen happening in los angeles, do you believe what we have seen from those ice agents today and yesterday was proportionate to what they have been accused of in terms of these offences? again, i have not seen the operational plan so i cannot tell you they were targeting today other than what they have released to the media so far. having said that, my other concern here is that violence and threats against ice agents - it is up 450%, or something like that, which has been reported by the agency - so what you have now is a

situation where it is very dangerous. it is already a dangerous job as it is to go out and arrest someone who has a criminal background. if they do not have a criminal background, they are still here illegally and you do not know how a person will react to losing their freedom with the threat of being deported. i had some react very violently in my career but they did not have a history yet they still reacted disproportionately to what the agents had planned for. so, i can't say today's environment with the threats and the protests, but anything is disproportionate without ice is working right now because they are being threatened with violence, they are being doxxed, their targets are being -- their families are being targeted. thank you for being with us. my pleasure. thank

you. let's take you back to these life pictures. this is the scene in los angeles where those protests have been taking place - people coming out to protest against immigration and deportation raids that have been taking place, including infertility no majority areas. we have seen immigration officials in los angeles using and batons as they have been clashing with demonstrators who have been protesting against the arrest dozens of migrants. you the last hour or so, we had comments from president trump's top immigration official, tom homan, cb national guard will be released tonight. it is unclear if tom homan himself has the authority to call on the national guard although the president trump has done so as of yet. we are following a developing story out of

columbia where media reports that a government shot presidential hopeful miguel uribe in bogota. uribe is currently running in the colombian presidential election. he was shot while attending a political event. local media says there is still little information currently on the severity of the injuries he has suffered in the attack but he has been taken to a nearby hospital and we will update you on that developing story as and when we get more details. ukraine says a 30-year-old woman has been killed during a sustained russian attack on kharkiv. she was reported to be in a park popular with families. president zelensky says kharkiv, ukraine's second-largest city, has been under russian bombardment for nearly 24 hours straight. in that time frame, at least four people have been killed

and 39 others injured, including an infant. kharkiv's mayor said that friday's attack was the largest of the war. president trump has warned russia would inevitably ramp up its attacks after ukraine launched a stealthy and devastating assault on a russian airbase. paul adams reports from kyiv. not the deadliest attack on kharkiv but certainly one of the most intense. drones, bombs and missiles. loud blast. bringing fear and death over the course of just 90 minutes. russia's target is not known, but apartment blocks and private homes amongst the buildings hit. civilians paying a high price in a city that has already suffered more than most. irina says she found her wounded daughter in a room full of rubble and dust. "they carried her out on a stretcher," she says. "her arms and legs seemed ok."

the blast blew out this woman's windows. translation: when the drones started buzzing closer and closer, when the sound was right over our house, we took the pets and hid behind the wall in the corridor, and then it hit. sitting so close to russia, kharkiv has often taken the brunt of moscow's anger, but is this revenge for what ukraine did a week ago? today, fresh images from operation spidersweb - a single drone's journey, fast and low, in search of a target amid the flaming wreckage at a russian airbase. donald trump clearly thinks the russian leader was provoked. they gave putin a reason to go and bomb the hell out of them last night, after... when i saw it, i said, "here we go." it's this kind of talk that frustrates ukrainians. they're still waiting for any sign that donald trump is willing to put pressure on vladimir putin, rather than always appearing to take his side. they roll their eyes at the suggestion that, somehow, moscow is retaliating.

translation: no matter what anyone says, these russian attacks are not retaliatory. they are intended for destruction, complete destruction of life - that is their goal. this evening in kharkiv, more bombs and more bloodshed. a 30-year-old woman killed in a park popular with families. president zelensky calling it another brutal murder. paul adams, bbc news, kyiv. the us-backed aid distribution centre in the southern gaza strip says it's been unable to distribute aid on saturday following direct threats from hamas. earlier, gaza's civil defense agency said six palestinians were killed and several wounded by israeli gunfire while gathering to collect food supplies. the israeli military said it fired warning shots at suspects who approached them in a "threatening manner".

earlier, israel announced it had recovered the body of a thai hostage who'd been held in gaza since hamas's terror attack on october 7. nattapong pinta was an agricultural worker in southern israel when he was kidnapped. the israel defence forces said his body had been retrieved during a special operation. ahmed fouad alkhatib is a gaza analyst and a senior fellow at the atlantic council. he says the current humanitarian situation was entirely predictable. let's begin by touching on the situation in the gaza strip. significant issues in terms of distribution of aid and how that is working. did you see that being reassessed or changed any time soon in light of the challenges we are seeing? what was predicted early on is persisting which is when you have a few sites away from major population centres, when the civilians desperate to food and supplies has to traverse treacherous terrain for over at times 20 miles at a

time. this is what is going to happen when people reach the site. there are stampede is. there is confusion as to where they are supposed to go. supplies run out sooner and there is chaos at these sites and i think that is partially what is contributing to what we are seeking. the other thing we have to accept is that this mechanism is let you stay for the future. i had spoken to former and current us and senior israeli officials insisted this is the only way to separate gazans from hamas so the conversation has to be about how do we make this less deadly, how do we scale it up and make it scalable to deliver needed food. what i thought spermicide in terms of those potential solutions? this safer? we need a serious efforts to engage in humanitarian community who has rightfully been suspicious of

this mechanism, the united nations, the ngos - many other friends of mine. my brother is on the ground in gaza running a medical ngos so they are scepticism. they are concerned about lending credibility to it so engaging down and working together in a multilateral fashion. number two is increasing the number of sites that are available so that people do not have to go very far. number three is to actually perhaps operate in a hybrid model whereby some of the old mechanism can be reactivated in parallel with this new gaza humanitarian foundation approach which, yes, it is difficult for hamas to boot. i want to ask about development. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu confirming that he is arming vital claims in the gaza strip. what is your thoughts on that potential for riskier? on the one hand, i am not surprised

that he is grasping at straws here trying to figure out how to do anything but reunite the palestinian authority so that the moderate arab nations can potentially contribute peacekeeping forces and the international community can be a part of the solution. on the other hand, the situation is so desperate that people are wanting to rid themselves of hamas's bull. people are wanting to rid themselves of the fact that they are stuck between a merciless israeli war machine and a group this terror organisation and some might be willing to take those risks. however, i caution against - and i have said so publicly and to israeli officials - let's not forget it was the financing of hundreds of millions and billions of dollars to hamas before seventh of october the got a stupid situation we are in. i worry about the potential

of arming local militias that could create a somalia -like situation and we could see the emergence of multiple competing all ords and that is an untenable situation. elon musk has deleted a tweet in which he'd claimed without evidence that donald trump was named in unreleased files linked to the late billionaire sex offender jeffrey epstein. some are taking it as a sign that musk is backing down after the public feud earlier in the week. our north america correspondent jake kwon has more. just when we thought the public breakup of england mask and donald trump was taking a break, donald trump has issued a press warning, saying that elon musk has disrespected the office of the president and that he will face serious consequences if he bolsters democrats to run against

republicans for supporting his spending bill. he also says he has no plans to reach out to the billionaire and repair the relationship and that he considers the relationship over. you presently are watching these men closely is that they can do damage to each other. elon musk is a billionaire who has almost a limitless amount of funding that he can direct towards mr trump's opponents and we saw some of the conservative camps seizing this opportunity to voice their disagreement with mr trump and say they do not want this big spending bill. mr trump, who holds the congress by a razor thin margin, he has the midterms coming up next year, this disagreement can be a real porn site. -- a real thorn in his side. tiktok is preventing users searching for "skinnytok" - a hashtag which critics say

directs people towards content which "idolises extreme thinness." the social media app says it "blocked search results for #skinnytok since it has become linked to unhealthy weight loss content." people using the hashtag will now be redirected to mental health support resources instead. according to the us-based national alliance for eating disorders, the skinnytok hashtag has more than half a million posts associated with it, including content such as low-calorie recipes which on the face of it appear to promote healthy lifestyle advice, but the organisation says, in reality, it "glorifies thinness and vilifies weight gain" and "promotes disordered eating behaviours." live now to dr rachel goode, associate professor at the university of north carolina's school of social work, and an adjunct assistant professor in the centre for eating disorder excellence. will continue. tell us what people might have been exposed to it they had come across skinnytok content and the risks? the danger of skinnytok

is that individuals were getting content where they were promoting extreme thinness, glorifying thinness, just giving them more opportunity, more content, more ideas so they can achieve a harmful behaviours that we know make increased the risk of disordered eating and people that look like them, their friends, people in their community giving them advice to my pink bodies that they idolise and want to be in, so the concern is real and we recognise that tiktok made a move that is necessary to protect folks from developing increase risks of disordered eating. even if people had not necessarily searched for this word, they may have come across this kind of content anyhow somewhere along this algorithm. do you think banning words such as skinnytok goes far enough? i

think it is a start, but we know the well is deep. we know there is such harmful content and it really makes us realise that so many more of us are going to have to be responsible to help prevent the development of disordered eating and to really jump in there because the content is pervasive. we know that just one word is not enough then i think tiktok probably knows that but is important is the step that was taken and we have so much more to do and i hope that others will begin to search their platform so that we can continue to give folks more help. a conversation i have had with colleagues and friends and girlfriends as we seem to have a moment of body positivity a few years ago. a lot of it seems to have disappeared. what happened there? well, the moment - right? that is the thing. what we are recognising

is that the level of hate for larger bodies is deep, historically it extends back more i think then people realise and there is so much reinforcement for weight stigma. it is around us - it is in our water. it is a part of our world. it is something that is not going to be so easily erased and that is one thing we are seeking - it is not going away that easily and i am grateful for the hope for the body positive and i know that there is still hope. we are still moving forward, but this is going to be a fight and it is not easy. on that point, briefly - if people come across this content online, any steps they can take to flag it and try and combat it? there are steps they can make and can let folks know, they can tell tiktok they do not want this content, and what i think more importantly, if they see this content and they know they themselves are struggling with

disordered eating, it is important not to keep it a secret, to go and tell someone, to go and reach out. if you do not have the resources to get help, there are organisations who will help pro bono, but you begin, not to suffer in shame and not to vilify the people making this content but to bring the light and awareness that this is not ok and you voice your concerns and to continue to encourage others in the community to stand up as well. an important conversation he had with doctor rachel gude. also an adjunct assistant professor at the centre for eating disorders. thank you for joining us. if you are struggling with an eating disorder, in the us, you can reach out to the national alliance for eating disorder

the online influencer and self-declared misogynist andrew tate has been fined and suspended from driving after being caught in romania, doing nearly four times the speed limit. officials say the british-american national was was driving at nearly 200km/h in a village - that's almost 125 miles-per-hour, despite a 50km/h limit - that's 30 miles per hour. mr tate and his brother, tristan, are currently facing charges including rape and human trafficking in romania, as well as separate allegations in britain and the united states. they deny all those accusations. and lets return now to the protests unfolding in los angeles. we can take a look at the scene there live. you can see authorities on the ground following those immigration raids and subsequent protests. we now have a statement

from governor gavin newsom, who says "as the federal government conducts chaotic "immigration sweeps across the country, the state "is deploying additional "california highway patrol to maintain safety on los angeles
