under the tables floor and hiding under the tables during the incident. but wejust heard an update, then, from police and we also heard an update from the head teacher. the police there asking people to refrain from posting footage online, refrain from online speculation as well, saying that would not be helpful. as for the head teacher there, saying her thanks and reassurance, but also saying the school will be open tomorrow. so it 17—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three people were injured at a secondary school which went into lockdown. this is that the the birley academy in sheffield. on wednesday morning. a child was assaulted, two adults suffered minor injuries in the incident, involving a sharp object.

south yorkshire police giving us those details a little earlier. the weapon involved is understood to be a broken bottle, rather than a knife. that detail fare from the pa news agency. sojust knife. that detail fare from the pa news agency. so just to recap, knife. that detail fare from the pa news agency. sojust to recap, a 17—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three people were injured at that secondary school, which then went into lockdown. this is the the birley academy in sheffield on wednesday, and we were told to expectjust wednesday, and we were told to expect just a wednesday, and we were told to expectjust a brief wednesday, and we were told to expect just a brief statement from the police then, which we got, no questions from the media allowed or taken and short statement then from the head teacher as well outside. but this has clearly been a shocking incident and a shocking moment this morning. at about 8:50am, police were called. that is when they first

received reports of the incident, south yorkshire police taking over there. they added that after the school went into lockdown, the school went into lockdown, the school then did clarify that all staff and students were safe. right. we will return to that story a little later. right now, though, i want to take you to the scottish parliament, a debate happening right now in the conference of the government there. let's listen in.

a break in proceedings there, so we will be back in hollywood a little later, but for now will be back in hollywood a little later, but for no_ later, but for now let's go to my colleague _ later, but for now let's go to my colleague nick _ later, but for now let's go to my colleague nick garnett - later, but for now let's go to my colleague nick garnett for - later, but for now let's go to my i colleague nick garnett for reaction on what happened to that academy there outside burnley, the story i was speaking about him to go. nick, a reminder of what the police said there? ,., . a reminder of what the police said there? . ., ., there? the police said that at 8:50am this _ there? the police said that at 8:50am this morning - there? the police said that at 8:50am this morning a - there? the police said that at - 8:50am this morning a 17-year-old 8:50am this morning a 17—year—old boy was arrested after an incident involving a sharp object. they went into further detail and said it appeared to be glass that was used in the incident. he has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is being questioned by the police. the police said that because of that they cannot actually say very much at the moment, but they did say two members of staff have been injured and one pupil as well. the head teacher of the school praised staff for the way they handled both the incident and what happened afterwards, in which they went through a lockdown procedure.

we have heard from some of the people and some of the parents suffer the children, who say that some of the children hid under desks and hid from everything, the doors were locked, but everything went well. they were then allowed to go home. the school was cleared of all the pupils who then made their way home. the school opens out onto a housing estate, where most of the children go. now, the school for 11-16 children go. now, the school for 11—16 —year—olds, the young person in custody is 17 years old and the police say this investigation is ongoing, that is complicated and they are taking it slowly, but surely. the school will be open, though, tomorrow as normalfor all the pupils. so we have noticed in the pupils. so we have noticed in the last hour or so that the number of police vehicles that were on site have now gone. there isjust one or two vehicles which are here. we heard from the assistant chief constable that the police are going to stay in the area for the foreseeable future, as an assurance to people living nearby to let them

know that things are ok and that the police are here and will be looking after them. police are here and will be looking after them-— after them. nick, thank you very much for that. _ after them. nick, thank you very much for that. next... _ after them. nick, thank you very | much for that. next... scotland's much forthat. next... scotland's first minister says ending his power—sharing agreement with the scottish greens was the right thing to do. but the way he did it meant he paid the price with hisjob. in his first interview since announcing his resignation on monday, humza yousaf told bbc scotland editor, james cook, what happened. look, i have made it really clear that ending the bute house agreement was the right decision, both for my party and my country. but i have to acknowledge the manner in which i did it has caused great upset, and that's on me. are you kicking yourself? i do of course reflect a lot and regret how this has ended, but equally, i will always be eternally grateful for having not just the opportunity to serve my country, but also to lead my country. that has been the greatest honour of my life. you must be gutted, though? in one sense, you always

know your time in office will come to an end. would i have liked a different ending? of course. but i go back to the central point here — that having led my country and served my country — i've been a government minister for almost 12 years — has been the greatest honour of my life. what changed ? within 48 hours, you went from "this agreement with the greens is worth its weight in gold" to "it's not serving any purpose." what specifically changed ? for me, the agreement was coming to an end anyway, possibly in a matter of days or weeks. that process almost had started with the greens started with the greens going to put that to its membership, there were votes of no confidence coming up... and patrick harvie, over gender? as you say. therefore, whichever way i looked at it, the bute house agreement was going to come to an end in any case.

so that's why i say ending the agreement, to me, was the right thing to do for the party and the country but i accept fully the manner in which it was done clearly caused upset and i have paid the price for that. you alluded to something that i think is really important, this idea that perhaps the greens had, for you, gone too far on the gender issue in terms of moving away from the science, in terms of criticising the cass review? i made very clear what my position, the government's position was on the cass review, but those comments made by patrick harvie did upset a lot of people in my group. equally, patrick is entitled to his view. the key thing is, was that a factor in your decision, their movement on that issue? not necessarily. i think for me the bute house agreement, the fact the greens were putting it to their members, to me, however i looked at it, in the coming days, weeks or months, the bute house agreement

was going to come to an end. i wanted to make sure that we were the ones who were able to say, "look, i think it's time to part ways" and i do not regret ending the agreement, although i do regret the manner in which i ended it. the point is that what's happened is that you have suggested the problem has been a split between the snp and the greens, but on gender, on other social policy issues and on economic policy as well, there's actually a split in your party? we have a range of views and so that should be in any political party on any issue. the point is we cooperated well with the greens for almost three years, but it was clearly becoming strained, the bute house agreement. that is no ifs or buts about that, it was there for everyone to see. the agreement was coming to its natural conclusion, which is why i do not regret ending it, but i do regret the manner in which it ended. would john swinney make a good first minister? you and others will ask me questions

aboutjohn and kate and others for weeks if there is a contest and my answer for weeks is going to be the same one — as current party leader, i am certainly not going to say anything which would suggest any interference or bias from my perspective over who will succeed me. but i am just asking about the man's character. oh, i know what you're trying to do! i have dealt with the media for well over a decade and i salute your indefatigablity because you will ask me this question time and time again, but my answer will be the same. bothjohn and kate — who are the only ones being spoken about, neither has confirmed their potential candidancy, of course — have many good attributes, but the only thing i would say to bothjohn, kate and to any other potential candidate is that our party needs unity.

and i would say to supporters of any candidate, ken, john, kate or anybody else who might be thinking about it, any potential candidate, we will gain nothing if we took each other down. talk up your candidate by all means. jon and kate, for example, have many good attributes. it took them up. don't talk the other down because the only people who benefit from match our opponents. who benefit from match our opponents-_ who benefit from match our opponents. who benefit from match our o- onents. �* ., , ., ., who benefit from match our ouonents. ., , ., ., ., opponents. but what should a modern scotland look — opponents. but what should a modern scotland look like? _ opponents. but what should a modern scotland look like? that _ opponents. but what should a modern scotland look like? that is _ opponents. but what should a modern scotland look like? that is what - scotland look like? that is what that contest might be about. i hear you're not going to endorse anybody, but should scotland be led by someone who would have voted against gay marriage?— gay marriage? again, you are asking me the question _ gay marriage? again, you are asking me the question because _ gay marriage? again, you are asking me the question because you - gay marriage? again, you are asking me the question because you are - me the question because you are trying to get me to favour one or the other of the potential candidates.— the other of the potential candidates. ., ., ., ~ ., ., candidates. no, i want to know what ou think candidates. no, i want to know what you think this _ candidates. no, i want to know what you think this country _ candidates. no, i want to know what you think this country stands - candidates. no, i want to know what you think this country stands for- you think this country stands for and what about on that subject. let and what about on that sub'ect. let me sa and what about on that subject. let me say very clearly that i think you can be a person of faith and be a first minister. jon and kate, again, as two potential names being suggested, bothjon and kate are both committed christians and i have

soon as somebody who is muslim that you can be a person of faith and i have soon as somebody who is muslim that you can be a person of faith answer be first minister. what people willjudge any potential candidate on is their policies, what they end up moving away from in terms of policy or distancing themselves away from policy. that is themselves away from policy. that is the right discussion to have, not whether somebody of faith can be first minister because i have clearly shown that they can. aia—year—old killed in hainault has been named locally as daniel anjorin. separately the school where his mother works as named her as angela anjorin. said, it is with great sadness that i share with the new news of the death of our people. the 14—year—old was a pupil at a school in london. it is the second time this year the school has been hit by tragedy. one is the school's

former pupils, ali kumar, died in nottingham where she was studying. so just to recap, nottingham where she was studying. sojust to recap, the 14—year—old killed in hainault has been named locally as daniel anjorin. separately, the school where his mother works has issued a statement naming her as mrs anjorin. the holy family catholic school said, it is with great sadness that i share with you the news of the death of the child of another staff members. the 14—year—old who died was a pupil at bancroft school in woodford green in east london. this is the second time in less than a year the school has been hit by tragedy. one of its former pupils grace o'malley—kumar died in a knife attack in nottingham where she was studying university. the childhood friend of a cornish aid worker killed in an israeli drone strike in gaza,

hopes to honour him by raising money for the boxing club he loved. james �*jimmy�* henderson was among the seven world central kitchen aid workers who died when their convoy was hit last month. his close friend, harryjames—mills, now wants to renovate their old boxing club and name it afterjimmy. he's been talking to our reporter, melanie chiswell. my memories ofjimmy from that age were being in penryn park, making rope swings, tree houses. it's kind of the typical cliche, you know, what it's like to live a lovely life as young boys, you know? jim henderson died while he was helping others. he was delivering food to people in gaza when his convoy was struck by three missiles. losingjimmy in ourfriendship group has actually binded our group together so much more strongly. we will forever be as strong as we are now because ofjimmy leaving us. and i do think about that a lot.

ithanked him, you know, for the fact that him going has actually made us so much stronger. jimmy died alongside his colleagues, john chapman and james kirby. their deaths provoked world leaders to demand an investigation. the truth is that when he died, it was... we couldn't even see a way forwards. there was a lot of anger, a huge amount of sadness and loss. and we sort of went through the process of wanting answers. and that took us down a very dark path. and we felt like we're not going to be able to change what happened tojimmy. and so what we can actually do is look to our local community and look to what we can change positively. go on, jimmy. that's it, jim cut it off. seen here in black, jim was a talented boxer. his club was a huge part of his life, but it needs a new building and new equipment forfuture generations. the nature of how he passed

away was obviously very traumatic for all of us, and this is something that we can actually apply our energy to that makes us feel good, gives us like a sense of purpose. that's the reason why we're doing it. we want to do something that we feel is going to have a positive change as opposed to just continue to feel angry and upset. across the atlantic in washington, a memorial at the national cathedral is honouring all seven world central kitchen aid workers. the seven souls we mourn today were there so that hungry people could eat. what did he mean to everyone that he was close to? i guess he wasjust... justjimmy. he was really, really soft, he was really, really loving. and at the same time, he was an amazing athlete and he was super masculine. and he had that beautiful balance where, yeah,

he was just a great, great man. you are watching bbc news.

you are alive with bbc news. now, let's turn to the events in georgia because 63 people have been arrested there after late—night protests against plans to introduce legislation which the government says will counter foreign influence. six police officers were injured with journalist reporting that riot police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon in the capital, two bc. journalists and opposition... were also attacked. to clamp down on freedom of press and civil liberties. let's go to our reporter was live for us into blue sea. take us through this ugly clash, as we saw last night, the scale of that and tell us about this foreign agent

bill. matthew, last night the police broke the demonstrations. they have been going on for over two weeks now and they will continue to gay as people are gathering outside death they will continue today. last night people broke in, they used tear gas, they used water cannon, they used peppe" they used water cannon, they used pepper spray and we were here with the protesters and we could see that it only angered the demonstrators even more. they stayed out in the streets until five or 6am and are coming back now with even more vigour. we know that people are coming from different parts of the country to join the protest against this controversial bill, which is called the transparency of foreign funding. it targets civil society organisations, non—governmental organisations, non—governmental organisations and independent media and it has been likened to an existing law that exists in russia.

and russia used this law to clamp down completely on the critics and therefore georgians fear that the same thing might happen here, if the government adopts the law. and the government adopts the law. and the government says that it is about transparency, that list non—governmental organisations, there are too many of them, there are thousands of these organisations and there is no control. and just to add, georgia is heading towards parliamentary elections in october and of course the critics of the government are saying that the real intention of the authorities is to kind of shut critical voices in the country down and those ngos are indeed those places.— country down and those ngos are indeed those places. well, there we have to leave _ indeed those places. well, there we have to leave it, _ indeed those places. well, there we have to leave it, but _ indeed those places. well, there we have to leave it, but thanks - indeed those places. well, there we have to leave it, but thanks very - have to leave it, but thanks very much, rayhan demytrie. we have more votes in parliament as the government pushes ahead with that, despite an eu warning, of course, that it could harm tbilisi's bid to join the eu bloc. we will keep an eye on that with more truth

protests, in the coming minutes we will probably return to georgia. i want to tell you about a fascinating story because... scientists have discovered a new type of white bread that is as healthy as wholemeal bread. this is absolutely fascinating, the first and most obvious question, does this place like a normal white loaf? that is what we are _ place like a normal white loaf? twat is what we are hoping for. we are hoping to produce a loaf that is appealable and the consumer desires it. so with the same properties as the consumer ones. teiiii it. so with the same properties as the consumer ones.— it. so with the same properties as the consumer ones. tell me how you are doinu the consumer ones. tell me how you are doing it- — the consumer ones. tell me how you are doing it- we _ the consumer ones. tell me how you are doing it. we are _ the consumer ones. tell me how you are doing it. we are looking - the consumer ones. tell me how you are doing it. we are looking at - the consumer ones. tell me how you are doing it. we are looking at the i are doing it. we are looking at the different mill _ are doing it. we are looking at the different mill streams _ are doing it. we are looking at the different mill streams from - are doing it. we are looking at the different mill streams from the . different mill streams from the milling process to put back in some

warm in the north—west of england and western scotland. some cloud heading our way, producing the odd shower. rain in wales and the south—west tends to fade away, but a lot of cloud coming from the near continent, over the channel, bringing rain across these areas in the afternoon. wetter across southern england, wales, the midlands, some rain heading towards northern ireland. thundery downpours in the night in the south. but that cloud will not clear away from some areas and push inland overnight, keeping temperatures around 9 degrees. lively weather by the early hours across southern england and into wales, a lot of thunder and lightning, large hail, very heavy rain and gusty winds bringing disruption for a while. the worst of that moves away in the morning. a lot of cloud in south wales and the south—west of england. as that rain clears, sharp showers moving across to the midlands. elsewhere, sunshine develops more widely, the misty, low cloud retreating, but with the strong wind off the north sea, the east coasts could stay grey and cold all day. not particularly warm in the cloud

across parts of southern england and south wales. high temperatures in north—west england, northern ireland and western scotland — could be 20 degrees here. some warmer air heading from the continent. moving over the cold north sea so a lot of mist and low cloud, but the warmer air moving northwards on friday and that will bring more showers and spells of rain further north across england and wales. a lot of cloud for northern ireland. more sunshine for scotland and southern counties of england, but still temperatures only ia. in the rain, temperatures lower on friday. could make 20 again in western scotland for one more day. even the weather here will change on saturday, more cloud heading northwards bringing rain to northern ireland and also scotland. keeping cloudy for northern england for sunshine in the south. not a bad start to the weekend
