in the afternoon a convoy of at least six israeli armoured vehicles was returning from a nearby raid and we have tracked the route acrossjenin which took them past the street where basil and adam were. the boys and around seven friends were out on the street. cctv footage from a shop shows basil in the foreground holding something in his right hand and making a movement with that with his left hand towards it. you see him shot and falling backwards. more bullets hit the ground nearby. video from another angle shows eight—year—old adam slightly further down the same street from basil and he is shot in the back of his head as he is trying to run away. he also falls this time forwards and is dragged behind a car. we were also able to obtain another crucial video of this incident which is a nearby boy

who was filming on his phone at the time and he was able to capture one of the israeli military vehicles driving by. when the footage is slowed down and enhanced it shows the driver door opening. you can see that right here. the driver has a direct view of the boys. they are around 2a metres away from basil and 36 metres away from adam. we know that at least 11 shots were fired from the direction of the armoured vehicle because we examined the bullet strikes at the scene. we have also got hold of copies of basil and adam's medical reports which show bullets struck the chest of basil and another one hit adam in the back of his head. the exact rules around when soldiers can and cannot use lethal force in the west bank are secret but some of the rules apply elsewhere are public.

guidelines of the israeli defence forces state that the use of lethal force must be a last resort and that it must be proportionate in relation to the danger suggesting that basil and adam would have needed to pose a serious threat to the soldiers. according to all the video evidence that we have examined, eight—year—old adam was not armed when he was shot in the back of his head. the israeli army has said the suspects had been attempting to hurl explosives towards their forces which put them in immediate danger. they also shared this annotated picture with us that they say shows an explosive device lying on the ground close to where basil was shot, the object looks consistent with a type of very small pipe bomb used in the west bank but we cannot fully verify the image itself. we have shown our findings to international human rights experts, and the co—director of the centre for international law told us the soldiers were in armoured vehicles, and even if they were a threat they should have driven away and planned an arrest rather

than defaulting to apparently indiscriminate lethal force which is a violation of international law. the special rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism told us while there may be questions about the use of lethal force in the case a basil, the killing of adam in his view appears to be a war crime. and if you want to see more on this story you can watch the full documentary on bbc three at 9pm tonight and it's available on the iplayer now. to india next, where the general election is under way. all this week, the bbc has been speaking to influential voting blocs. amongst them more than 18 million new, first—time voters heading to the polls. our south asia correspondent samira hussain is in the south—western state of kerala. well, it's been really interesting to hear from from all these first—time voters. and we made a point to go to two different states and to speak with first—time voters

from two different states. so i'm here in kerala and then we also went to the north in bihar. have a listen to what they had to say. this is really delicious. are you talking with your friends about the election? and what are you guys talking about? decrease in the constitutional rights of indian people. major issue facing in this election is confusion - to which party i need to vote. this is my first thought. so i don't want to waste that vote by giving a corrupted party. - yeah. everything is kind of... everyone is doing that, working for their own benefit. what is something that you want to see changed in your country? due to the lack of a financial structure the wealth distribution is unequal.

right to vote is a constitutional right for me. i don't want to waste that right. i need to change caste discrimination from the country. i feel like this is the age that we start to form - our political opinions. we can actually vote for the first time right now and see how- it's going to unfold. so that is very exciting. what for you is the most important election issue? india lacks infrastructure on a huge ground. there have been times where i was kind of like sexually harassed and there was... so i think that our government should focus on giving us such public transport where women can feel safe. if government are providing security to the women - and the female students, - then there will be more educated people in the remote areas of india. if you go to small villages, people have to travel a lot to get a better treatment. and plus the government hospitals

are not so much developed. there is some kind of dictatorship that is going around in the country, promotion ofjust one religion. so that should not be done. so does anyone else feel like that? having a clash between two communities, it is going to be really messy. political party should not support any other any particular community or religion. some breaking news, a statement from kate forbes, member of the snp, she hasjust kate forbes, member of the snp, she has just published kate forbes, member of the snp, she hasjust published a kate forbes, member of the snp, she has just published a statement saying she has listened very carefully to the vision byjohn swinney, she says, i welcome and embrace his commitment to ensure robust and divergent debate within the party which is the lifeblood of any democratic institution. i was also great e pleased with the claims

wanting to win the trust of people and tone matters in the way we conduct ourselves. i have spoken with him to discuss the future of our party and country. those discussions on the future of the snp and our vision for scotland were frank and constructive. what emerged was we share a powerful common purpose for the country. that includes the passion to revitalise our party, reach out to those who feel disempowered and reinvigorate the independence movement. it also includes an understanding economic growth and tackling poverty must again be key priorities and a just transition to net zero. more than that, john is clear he is determined to return the snp to governing from

the mainstream. competent candid government earning the trust of the people. that was the vision i offered in the last contest and is evidently demanded by the scottish public. the statement coming in from kate forbes, member of the snp, in scotland. reading on, i have therefore weighed the decision whether to seek the leadership of the party with great care. ultimately i have concluded the best way to deliver the urgent change scotland needs is tojoin way to deliver the urgent change scotland needs is to join withjohn swinney and advocate for that reform agenda within the scottish government. i can therefore today announced that i will not be seeking nomination as the next snp leader. a statement from kate forbes saying she will not be standing to be leaderfor the snp. and reading on,

john will therefore have my support and endorsement in any campaign to follow. i sincerely thank every party member and each of my parliamentary colleagues in holyrood and westminster who had been in touch to urge me to stand. i recognise many people might be disappointed i will not be contesting the position of leader at this time. to those people i say this, you can be certain delivering on the priorities for which we have together advocated in recent years has been at the heart of today's decision. it is now clear injohn swinney we have someone who understands that need for reform, but has now committed to delivering it. i look forward to playing my role in making that happen. this is a statement coming in from kate forbes, msp with the snp in scotland, saying she will not stand to be leader for the

scotland, saying she will not stand to be leaderfor the snp in the upcoming election. she says she will be supporting john swinney who is standing to be leader of the party. last year kate forbes stood to be leader of the snp, but she lost out narrowly to humza yousaf. there has been a lot of focus on whether she would be standing again in the new leadership contest after humza yousaf stood down as leader of the party. this is a new statement coming in from kate forbes saying she will not be standing as leader of the snp. more on that at the top of the snp. more on that at the top of the snp. more on that at the top of the hour. now it is time for the weather. hello, good afternoon. it was stormy across the south of england last night, with 4,000 lightning strikes in recorded and still the threat of heavy, thundery downpours not just this afternoon but tonight and tomorrow. more sunshine around today. the best in the north and west.
