international centuries, hitting his 49th in india's cricket world cup match against south africa in kolkata — a meeting of the tournament's best two sides. india chose to bat and had a fast start. captain rohit sharma and then shreyas iyer with 77 were the building blocks for an innings that was then set up for kohli, who on his 35th birthday, didn't disappoint the thousands of adoring fans at eden gardens. he ended 101 not out, matching sachin tendulkar�*s record. with india finishing their 50 overs on 326—5, south africa have just begun their chase. and quinton de kock, the only player with more runs in this world cup than kohli, is already out. it is 21-1 it is 21—1 after seven overs. bangladesh coach chandika hathurusingha has insisted that his side have "no choice" but to play their world cup match against sri lanka in smog—filled delhi on monday, despite it currently being ranked as the world's most polluted city. both teams have cancelled training

1:35 pm
german police were earlier negotiating with a man who apparently drove through a security barrier at hamburg airport with his young daughter in the car. police say he has been arrested and the child appears to be unharmed. a report says that he did not resist arrest. we will bring you more on that as and when we get to the news. we have some information on our live page as well. —— when we get the news. to the war in ukraine now. the country's defence ministry has ordered an investigation into an alleged missile strike on a ukrainian assault brigade on friday. it follows reports that 20 soldiers were killed during an awards ceremony. reports suggest that soldiers had gathered for an awards ceremony in a village close to the front line in the zaporizhzhia region when a ballistic missile struck. earlier, my colleague spoke to our correspondentjenny hill in kyiv about why the official confirmation has only just come to light. details are only starting to emerge.
1:36 pm
on friday, the armed forces celebrated what they call artillery day in honour of the servicemen and women who are defending their country. it is reported that members of the 128th mountain assault brigade had gathered for an award ceremony in a village close to the front line in the zaporizhzhia region, when this ballistic missile, an iskander missile, struck, killing what has been reported to be more than 20 soldiers and injuring civilians. it is not yet clear whether there are civilians among the dead, and the authorities here have not yet officially confirmed the number of those killed, although they have now ordered an investigation into what happened. that is important because already, there are questions swirling, criticism too, about how this awards ceremony was able to go ahead in the open air, so close to the front line where as you will appreciate, the risk of air strikes and artillery shelling is extremely high.
1:37 pm
troops who serve up and down that front line are also painfully aware that russian drones almost continually monitor their activities. it goes for the other side too. ukrainians keep the russian side under near—constant surveillance. there are a lot of questions about how this could go ahead and how this could have happened. in the meantime, the ukrainian ministry of defence has offered its condolences to the families of those killed. the 128th mountain assault brigade comes from the very south—west of this country, a long way from zaporizhzhia, and their home region has announced three days of official mourning. and how have ukraine's military bosses said they will respond to this attack? they are talking, as ukraine always does when there is an attack of this kind. they say they will respond and they will continue to defend their country.
1:38 pm
i should also add that interestingly some footage has emerged which purports to be russian drone footage of the attack. it has not yet been verified but it's floating around social media. i think that is adding to the pressure on ukraine's military chiefs, who are going to come under increased questioning in the coming days about, given the fact there are russian drones keeping an eye on that front line, how on earth anyone allowed such an awards ceremony to take place. that was our correspondence, jenny hill, in kyiv. the conservatives are facing claims that a former party chairman wrote to police, because he was concerned that allegations of rape against an mp hadn't been properly dealt with. the mp has not been named. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo has more. well, this is a pretty extraordinary set of claims made today in the mail on sunday newspaper, which says it has seen a letter
1:39 pm
from the former tory party chairman jake berry and the former tory chief whip wendy morton who had written to police last year, after they had left their positions. remember, they were chief whip and party chair under liz truss when she was prime minister, but they had written a letter, according to the mail, to police, saying that the party had failed to take more than limited action against some serious allegations against an unnamed tory mp. in the letter, according to the mail, they say there may be five victims of this mp who were subjected to a number of offences, including multiple rapes. they say the matter had been going on for two years and the failure to take action had enabled the mp to continue to offend and victimise women, and they also say that they had discovered the conservative party was paying for support for one of the alleged victims, so a very serious raft of claims made. the conservative party itself has not yet commented on the detail of the claims, but the former tory party chairman,
1:40 pm
0liver dowden, who is now the deputy prime minister, spoke to laura kuenssberg this morning. is this true, what happened? well, i simply can't say because i don't know who the individual concerned is. but you were the chairman of the party. what i can say is that when i was chairman of the conservative party, every allegation was taken very seriously and was independent of me because we had an independent complaints procedure. i think that is the right way to address these things. but if this story is true, does that mean there needs to be another investigation into what went on? there is a suggestion here that the conservative party somehow covered this up to protect one of its own mps. i don't recognise in any form the idea that we covered up, and i can assure you categorically that it was not the case that when i was chairman of the conservative party, i covered up any allegations. what i'm saying to you, simply, laura, is that without knowing the name of the person, it is very difficult for me to be
1:41 pm
able to give you further information in respect of an unnamed individual. 0liver dowden there, currently the deputy prime minister, speaking to laura kuenssberg a bit earlier about those claims. he was a former chair of the conservative party during the period in which jake berry, one of his successors, alleged there was not enough action taken to stop this unnamed tory mp. there are very, very serious claims. 0bviously, 0liver dowden saying he categorically denies covering anything up but cannot comment more specifically, given the mp is not named, but this is yet another story relating to the working culture in westminster, and yet another story relating to complaints to complaints procedures. and questions will no doubt be raised about whether those mechanisms, those procedures that exist within parliament, within political parties are fit for purpose. to western nepal now,
1:42 pm
where thousands of people the night outdoors in cold temperatures following friday's earthquake. more than 150 people have been killed and over 350 injured. aftershocks have hit the worst hit districts of jajarkot and west rukum since the quake on friday night. officials said that with search and rescue efforts coming to a close, the focus will be on helping people who have lost their homes. 0ur reporter sanjaya dhakal has the latest from kathmandu. the number of dead has risen to 157 and the total number of injured persons is over 350. and the focus now is shifting towards providing shelter to the homeless and distributing essential supplies such as tents and foodstuffs to the victims. we spoke yesterday about the challenges facing rescue teams. have those challenges eased? how is the rescue operation going and faring today?
1:43 pm
as the rescue operation switches gear to the next level of providing rehabilitation to the victims, the main challenge will be to reach the victims on time with tents, because some of the victims we spoke to earlier complained about the lack of tents. they had to sleep overnight under open sky in cool temperatures. they are also saying they lost all their belongings. and they would need help with food and other essential supplies, so the challenge will be to reach them on time. with so many dead and so many others injured, the aftershocks must be frightening for people as they continue? yes, there has been over half a dozen aftershocks four magnitude and scores of other lesser
1:44 pm
intensity aftershocks, so people are still scared. these earthquakes, when they come in strong intensity, they usually carry with them a lot of aftershocks, so that is a problem and people are still scared. what will happen to people whose homes have been destroyed or they have had to leave their homes? we have seen visuals of people living under makeshift tents. and they are having to spend the whole night under the open sky. the temperature is also dropping down. it is quite a challenge for them. are there any contingency plans in place for what happens next to these people? the government has said it will complete reconstruction within one year. they have promised two lakh nepalese rupees for the family of each deceased.
1:45 pm
so the government will be taking this rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts to the next level and it will be a long haul. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. london has now had 160 e—bike or ease scooter fires reported in 2023, more than any other year. 2a firefighters attended displays in kingston. it still has the smell. , displays in kingston. it still has the smell.- axis _ displays in kingston. it still has the smell.- axis is - displays in kingston. it still has the smell. yes. axis is one of the main tepics _ the smell. yes. axis is one of the main tepics for — the smell. yes. axis is one of the main topics for london _ the smell. yes axis is one of the main topics for london by baguette. we ideally want people to store them outside, but if you can't, in a room where you can shut the door. —— london fire brigade. we have had people storing their bikes in

1:47 pm
juanjumalon, also known as dj johnny walker, was broadcasting live from his home studio on sunday morning when an unidentified gunman entered the booth, shot mrjumalon at close range and then fled the scene after stealing mrjumalon's necklace. now, juanjumalon was taken to hospital by his wife but was announced dead at the scene. police say that a motive is not yet clear and they are not aware of any previous threats made against mrjumalon's life. but the president of the philippines, ferdinand marcoer, has already condemned the killing and called for an investigation. in fact, i have a full statement from the president from which i can read you a small part, which he posted on twitter. and i should say that the entire incident was captured on facebook, since that was where it was being livestreamed at the time, and so police are using that as evidence.
1:48 pm
and, tom, what is the situation like for journalists working in the philippines? the philippines has a reputation as a particularly dangerous place for journalists to work. just to put this killing into context, it's in fact the fourth killing of a journalist since the president ferdinand marcos jr took office last year. and for broader context, it's actually the 199th killing of a journalist in the philippines since it returned to a democracy back in 1986. i should point out an organisation called the committee to protectjournalists every year releases something called the global impunity index, which basically ranks countries on the basis of how diligently they prosecute the killings ofjournalists. their latest index which they published ranks the philippines as the eighth worst country in the world for prosecuting killers ofjournalists, which gives a sense ofjust how

1:51 pm
hamas uses civilians in gaza as human shields. they kill their own people. this isn'tjust a terror tactic. human shields are a key pillar in hamas's operations. until now, over800 pillar in hamas's operations. until now, over 800 rockets were launched that landed inside gaza, failing, and killing gazans. i will today share evidence proving that hamas systematically exploits hospitals as part of its war machine. we already showed evidence that hamas operates command and control centres inside and under shifa hospital. we decided to declassify and share more sensitive intelligence with you, because the world must take immediate action against that. we

1:57 pm
residents, have been evacuated. that is from the white house. more than 3,000 people gathered in nottingham on saturday, to pay tribute to an ice hockey player fatally injured during a match. 29—year—old adam johnson died last weekend, after his neck was cut by a skate blade. emma snow has this report. two minutes' silence in an arena normally bustling. it was a chance to pause and reflect exactly seven days on from a tragic event that has touched so many not just here in the uk but around the world. he was like a family member. i didn't know him. he has only played 15 games for the panthers and yet he comes here to entertain us and this is how his life ends. it's such a shock for a game we love. it's our family time. this is what we do as a family. i think a lot of people who witnessed that will not be going back.
1:58 pm
there is a big rivalry. between sheffield and nottingham, as people know. i think it has actually done the fan base really well. to bring us all together. we are all in the same boat, all grieving in our own way. we have all been affected in different ways by everything that has happened. for the fans, it has been a challenging week, and for the players, they're still trying to process what happened to their team—mate and friend. the players have come together and grieve in our pain. we have had some outside help, some counselling that we will need. we just take it one day at a time and hopefully, one day, we can maybe get back on the ice. do you think the players will want to get back on the ice? i am sure most will want to get back on the ice, some might not. that is something we have to take. right now it is day by day. the support we have had from around the world, the local community, the sports teams here, it made it a bit easier.
1:59 pm
and the support has been great, but support from everybody is outstanding and we much appreciate it. and people came in their thousands, notjust nottingham panthers supporters, but other clubs too, putting their sporting rivalries aside to come together as one big ice hockey community. there is almost a collective grief now. i do not think the panthers—steelers rivalry will ever be the same, really. but we are here for each other. that's the be all and end all. the hockey family is a community and we are here for each other, we support each other and together we will get through this. a fundraiser set up in his memory has raised thousands of pounds, and thousands of specially designed hockey pucks and memorial shirts have also sold. but there has been immeasurable support from those who knew adam and those who did not. people from the sports club — forest, notts county, notts cricket and more, they have sent people today to pay respects.
2:00 pm
i thik tonight is about the start of the healing. what has happened is still raw, but as you saw inside there, the sort of peacefulness and the feeling. people have come back to an ice rink for the first time in a week, especially those who were in the rink that saturday night, this is the start of a healing process. adam johnson's funeral will take place later today. an inquest was opened on friday and adjourned. but for now, the city and people around the world will remember a player whose tragic death has touched so many. adam was a wonderful, kind guy. we will miss him for a long time. live from london. this is bbc news. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has held talks with the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas in the occupied west bank city of ramallah. his visit comes as the israeli bombardment of gaza continues. the gaza health authorities say more than 30 people were killed
