hello, i'm helena humprhey. we begin in new york — where an attempt at the united nations to agree on a humanitarian ceasefire in gaza has failed tonight as the us opposed the proposal. despite 13 nations voting for a halt in fighting, the united states�* veto means the resolution failed to pass. earlier, the un secretary—general warned that the people of gaza are at breaking point. meanwhile, the palestinian health ministry — in the occupied west bank — says six palestinians have been killed in an israeli raid on al—fara refugee camp. israel says any ceasefire would cement hamas�* control of gaza. here's our correspondent nada tawfik in new york, this meeting and vote took place after the

secretary—general used a rarely invoked article of the un charity, article 99, to bring to the attention the security counsel, threats to international peace and security, and he urged the consulate to call for a cease—fire because he said there was a risk of the total collapse of the humanitarian system. that he anticipated a complete breakdown of public order. he laid out in stark terms the desperate situation in gaza. that there was no protection of civilians there, that they were running out of food, risk and starvation, the health system was collapsing, most of the population were displaced, and more than 17,000 palestinians have been killed. so, here we saw the majority of the council supporting that call by the secretary—general, but despite that the united states again cutting an extremely noni figure in the

consulate, raised its hand to block the draught resolution to veto it. and the united states said they did not support a cease—fire because they thought this resolution was and divorced from reality, concluding that the us could not support something that will just plant the seeds for next phase of war and held hamas. but 13 of the 15 other countries voted in favour of this draught. the uae, which proposed it, along with 97 countries, who sponsored it along with the uae, they said the imperative to end this war must supersede every other consideration. they said they were disappointed. china as well, said that concerning the continuation of fights while claimant took care of that life and fight of people in the gaza and fight of people in the gaza and humanitarian needs was self—contradictory. meanwhile, more video has emerged showing dozens of palestinian men detained by israel. the footage, verified

by the bbc, shows them stripped to their underwear, kneeling on the ground and being guarded by israeli soldiers. then driven away for interrogation. it's understood that some of the men have since been released. here's our international editor, jeremy bowen. gaza is at breaking point, says the un. almost 2 million people have been driven from their homes by israeli forces. in deir al—balah, the mosque was bombed with such force that the yafa hospital next door was put out of action. the us warned israel again that it was killing too many civilians. targeted or indiscriminate attacks on civilians area warcrime. israel said it launched a50 strikes in the last 2a hours. it sent out these pictures of its men assaulting hamas inside a school near gaza city. another video released by hamas shows a dead hostage and what it said was the bloody

aftermath of a failed israeli raid to free him. gunfire. at the un in new york, the secretary—general requested an immediate ceasefire, telling the security council that hamas violations of the laws of war did not excuse israel's. there is a high risk of the total collapse of the humanitarian support system in gaza which would have devastating consequences. we anticipate that it would result in a complete breakdown of public order and increased pressure for mass displacement into egypt. i fear the consequences could be devastating for the security of the entire region. but the us rejected his warnings and vetoed the ceasefire resolution. it is giving israel more time to destroy hamas. our goals should not simply be to stop the war for today,

it should be to end the war for ever, break the cycle of unceasing violence, and build something stronger in gaza and across the middle east, so that history does not keep repeating itself. back in gaza, israeli troops posted more video on social media of their round—up of hundreds of palestinian men, allegedly hamas suspects. the men were ordered to leave their families at a un shelter, stripped to their underwear and had their hands tied before being driven away for interrogation. israel still hasn't beaten hamas in northern gaza. fighting continues in an urban wasteland. the bbc traced the video to israeli soldiers, who deleted it after it went viral. the way hundreds of thousands of palestinians in gaza are being forced to live was filmed by a freelance journalist working for the bbc. this man is sheltering in a tent made of plastic sheets in the grounds of a hospital in deiral—balah, in

the middle area of gaza. gaza's people are at serious risk of starvation and famine, according to the secretary—general. he said the un could no longer help them under current conditions. this man said he is trying to get his kids to forget the good food they used to like. translation: idon't| know what to tell you. the only thing we have to eat is tea with no sugar. the only three words we hearfrom our children are "hungry, cold, thirsty". and we would rather die than see them get sick. the israelis destroyed the historic 0mari mosque in gaza city. they are ignoring us warnings that so much destruction and death could push palestinians into the arms of hamas, and the us cannot block a ceasefire indefinitely. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem.

now the blocking of the un resolution we talked about earlier also comes amid heavy bombardment of the gaza strip. as we heard injeremy�*s report israel's military said it carried out strikes on about a50 targets over the past day — the highest number reported since a temporary truce ended a week ago. meanwhile, 11 ambulances and 100 aid trucks sent by turkey reached gaza through the rafah border crossing on friday — according to the palestinian red crescent. the bbc�*s lucy grey spoke with nathalie thurtle, deputy medical director at �*doctors without borders.�* she gave the latest update from her teams in gaza, and the situation there. yeah. so it's been really dire, especially obviously since the ceasefire broke. we've seen over 1000 wounded here at the hospital where i was working in the middle area, and every day at that hospital we receiving

100—200 wounded patients. so it's extremely difficult for our teams to move in the south and to provide care in any way because the security situation and the huge volume of idps that we're now seeing in the south. so we've got almost the whole population of gaza now stuck in the south with really nowhere safe to shelter. and it's incredibly complex for us to try to provide humanitarian aid in any meaningful way as secretary general guterres alluded to. and is any aid getting to your people at all? there is a trickle of humanitarian aid that's coming in compared to what's actually needed. and several days since the ceasefire broke, no aid has made it into gaza at all. people are absolutely desperate for food and so trucks are being looted.

one of the trucks that we had come in with medical supplies and food was looted because people are completely desperate. one of my staff members contacted us yesterday and said he's been walking over 20 bombings today around south gaza in deeply insecure conditions, just trying to find food. so, no, enough aid is arriving inside gaza so, no, not enough aid is arriving inside gaza and until the bombing stops and new patients are not being created by the hundred hundreds every single day, and the border opens up to unrestricted flow of humanitarian aid, which can only happen with a permanent cease fire. we really can't do anything to meet the humanitarian need that's been created by this crisis. antonio guterres, the un secretary—general, was talking about how there could be a complete breakdown of public order in gaza. what do you make of that? you know, it's absolutely a risk. i mean, i think how can people

be ordered when they haven't slept for days with nowhere safe to go when the crammed two million of them in the south now with no safe passage, with a right to return to anywhere else, no access to food, not enough access to medical care. of course, people are distraughtjust getting out. but the main risk remains. the bombing from the air strike forces and the ground operation is about to get crowded. and in terms of where you see this going now, well, you have to try and get your aid workers out or they just stay? i mean, what do you think will happen? the space is becoming more narrow. so it's extremely difficult for us to provide anything meaningful due to the security situation, due to the supply. and now with ground troops moving into khan yunis,

where we had operation, it's very difficult for us to maintain a presence there because as i'm sure you're aware, when we had the ground operation in the north, there was no safety for our staff and we had staff members killed in the north once the operation was there. so it's very hard for us to work right now, and the only way for us to work going forward is going to be if there's a permanent ceasefire. here in the us, a major donor to the university of pennsylvania has withdrawn a $100 million grant in protest against remarks to congress by its president liz magill about anti—semitism. this comes on the back of a list of donors, politicians, business leaders, and students — all calling for ms magill�*s resignation. the uproar follows a heated hearing on capitol hill — where representative elise stefanik grilled ms magill on whether calls for the genocide ofjewish people violated the university's code of conduct. ms magill said it was �*context dependent�*.

she later clarified her answer and apologised in a video on wednesday, but it failed to quell further criticism. let�*s just take a listen to that angry exchange from capitol hill on tuesday that kicked off this controversy. does calling for the genocide ofjews violate penn�*s code of conduct when it comes to harassment, yes or no? it can be harassment. i was focused on our universities long—standing policies are aligned with the us constitution, which say that speech alone is not punishable. live now to our correspondent nomia iqbal, she�*s at the university of pennsylvania getting the latest for us. good to see you there. what are the students saying about the president�*s testimony and apology as well? president's testimony and apology as well?- president's testimony and aolo: aswell? , , , apology as well? many students here are frustrated. _

out regarding students of the university of pennsylvania? university of pennsylvania ? there university of pennsylvania? there been huge divisions ever since the war unfolded, at the start hundreds of members of the university students did send a letter of support in israel and causing the university to condemn and or. many thought the university was slow to act on anti—semitism, and put that onto the diversities and abilities it delineates when it comes to the boundaries of free speech. 0n the other side, people said when you come out and support palestinian voices or support palestinians in gaza you also have a reprisals. the former head of the middle east centre here said he had to resign because he felt that his voice wasn�*t being heard. so you have divisions on both sides. we know that�*s happening but the comments by president magill, and her apology, which by the

way has not really been accepted, certainly from the people i spoke to, has really reignited all of this and there a public petition which is garnered more than 20,000 signatures so far calling for hurt to resign and the governor also seen that the board really needs to think carefully about her future and make a decision on that. . ~ her future and make a decision on that. ., ,, , ., her future and make a decision on that. ., ~' , ., ., ., her future and make a decision on that. ., ,, i. ., ., on that. thank you nomia iqbal for our on that. thank you nomia iqbal for your reporting. _ russia fired cruise missiles at ukraine on friday for the first time in over two months. the air raid in kyiv lasted almost two hours and all the missiles heading towards the ukrainian capital were intercepted and destroyed by western supplied air defenses. the central parts of the country also saw strikes. one person was killed and four others were injured in the city of pavlhrad. six long range surface to air missiles were fired at the eastern kharkiv region, with residential buildings destroyed, one dead and several others injured. the fresh attacks come as vladimir putin announced

that he will stand for re—election for the fifth time as russian president when his term ends next year. 0ur correspondentjess parker is in kyiv with the latest. president putin�*s announcement that he was going to stand for a further term in office is not welcome news here in ukraine, but it does make a point that he can seemingly hold onto power while many believe he is waiting for a western support for ukraine to ab support for ukraine to ebb away and crack. the next week or so could be a crucial test of that. there are two packages of support that appeared to be injeopardy because of political wrangling. one is economic assistance from the european union, and the other is defence aid from the united states. many billions of pounds worth that has been caught up and tangled in the domestic political issues. when ukraine�*s winter sets

in and after the faltering counter offensive, the idea that us defence aid could start to dry up is almost unthinkable, so crucial has it been on the battlefield. so, ukrainians will be hoping and praying that what president putin may believe it is proven to be wrong. the fight over aid to ukraine is building on capitol hill. republican senators blocked an emergency funding package this week that would have provided billions of dollars in new security assistance for ukraine and israel — in part due to a failure to compromise on us border security. recently, support for ukraine on capitol hill has been waning — particularly among republicans. this week we saw rigorous attempts to resolve the congressional deadlock, as president biden continues to push for an aid package. ukraine has relied on the us and europe for diplomatic, economic and defense support since russia�*s invasion — but recently, support on capitol hill has been waning — particularly among republicans. this week we saw rigorous attempts to resolve the congressional deadlock, as president biden continues

the congressional deadlock. starting on monday — the white house sent a letter to congress warning that time is running out president zelensky scheduled a virtual briefing with us senators on tuesday, but had to cancel at the last minute. on wednesday, senate republicans blocked president biden�*s proposed aid package and on thursday, britian�*s foreign minister traveled to washington — to push for us assistance to ukraine. to understand the urgency of funding, i spoke to evelyn farkas, the executive director of the mccain institute and former deputy assistant secretary of defense for russia, ukraine, and eurasia. you�*ve been in kyiv recently and we are hearing —— nearing the two—year mark in that particular conflict, i wonder how ukrainians are feeling, whether they are cognizant of this work becoming it projected at at the same time seen some big stumbling blocks regarding getting that military aid from the united states?— getting that military aid from the united states? helen, thank ou for

the united states? helen, thank you for having — the united states? helen, thank you for having me _ the united states? helen, thank you for having me on _ the united states? helen, thank you for having me on again. - the united states? helen, thank you for having me on again. you| you for having me on again. you are right, when we were in ukraine in early october about the definite mood there was fatigue, although you know, the termination process. the ukrainians understand that the road ahead is difficult month that they are, in effect, at the mercy of the united states and their allies, including the united kingdom, that they have no choice that they have to keep fighting. it has become increasingly difficult and, i am embarrassed to say that my government has not provided the full amount of funding right now through congress that ukraine needs and deserved because it is frankly feisty for all of us.— because it is frankly feisty for all of us. let's talk about that supplemental _ for all of us. let's talk about that supplemental bill - for all of us. let's talk about that supplemental bill than, | that supplemental bill than, because of president biden tried to tie aid to ukraine to aid to israel at the same time, we saw senate republicans led by mitch mcconnell conjuring that move and united around the idea of requiring changes to

brother security legislation. it hasn�*t paid off yet. was it the right move, in your opinion? i the right move, in your opinion?— the right move, in your oinion? ., �* ~ opinion? i don't think so, these issues _ opinion? i don't think so, these issues are - opinion? i don't think so, these issues are not - opinion? i don't think so, j these issues are not links opinion? i don't think so, - these issues are not links and frankly what now the republicans have seed endured succeeded in doing is making the situation more difficult because immigration was never going to be something where democrats and republicans would agree on on any measures. actions to any, they can agree in some. the problem is that the republican party writ large has a more maximalist position on this and so with that president, a democrat, in the white house, it�*s unlikely they will achieve much on this. so, if you really care about ukraine as many senators who are republicans do, i know they do, they care about assistance to israel, i think they should walk back from this linkage to the border security issue. yes,

that�*s a security issue, and our administration and government needs to do more on it, but linking it with israel and ukraine actually is demonstrating weakness to vladimir putin and all the adversaries of the united states and it allies and partners. it�*s not the right thing to be doing and we know there are many actors like the iranians watching to see what kind of resolve we demonstrate right now. in exchange for the aid to israel and ukraine we�*ve been talking about, republicans in the us congress continue to call for tougher immigration policies. our us partner cbs news reports that us border patrol procesed near—record levels of migrants crossing the border in the past several days, making some ten thousand apprehensions every 2a hours. 0ur north america editor sarah smith has more, from jacumba in california. hey, you don�*t have to push. just get in line. this is not what the us border patrol are used to. illegal immigrants who snuck into america lining up to hand themselves in.

ina line. easy, easy, easy. so many of them, the authorities are overwhelmed by hundreds of people waiting for their chance to claim asylum in america. coming from afghanistan, this man doesn�*t want the taliban he�*s escaping from to see his face. his journey through central america was brutal. very, very, very, very horrible and very bad. they treated all the people, especially asians, i don't know how to say, like a dog, but the moment we crossed the border, we felt very different. we felt safe and we do feel safe. migrants can no longer claim asylum at official border crossings, so they�*re coming in illegally instead, undeterred by that infamous border wall. as you can see there is a huge border fence, but itjust comes to an end right here. and if you look through there you can see you can just walk

from mexico right into america. but then these people have to wait up to a week before they can be processed by immigration. the only food and water comes from local volunteers. i've been told by the border patrol that the only way - this is going to change is if we stop doing this and then people start starving and being hurt and sick- and possibly die out - here and then it will change. i take it you�*re not about to stop feeding them in order to try and get the authorities to take responsibility? no, i'm not. i mean, ijust don'tj trust them to do it. this crisis on the border is a huge political problem for president biden, threatening his chances of re—election and even putting aid to ukraine injeopardy, because republicans in congress won�*t vote for more money for ukraine unlessjoe biden agrees to crack down hard on illegal immigration and basically puts an end to scenes like this.

it�*s a makeshift mess and the local landowner thinks it�*s time to make the border more of a political priority. we want our government to do something, to stop this, because this can�*t go on forever like this. i mean, enough is enough. it�*s a problem you think joe biden needs to tackle? he needs to put it in a high gear and instead of worrying about ukraine and everybody else, he needs to come here and visit these people here. children playing in the dirt and sleeping in the open. it�*s very unusual to see this inside america and it can only increase the pressure to tackle this growing immigration emergency. sarah smith, bbc news, jacumba, california. and before we go, we want to focus on the last meal of a long—extinct creature. scientists in canada have revealed the remains of a young dinosaur dating back 75 million years. in its fossilised stomach they discovered the hind legs bones of two baby dinosaurs it probably ate as its last meal.

researchers say the preservation of the animal — and of the creatures it ate — shines new light on how these predators lived all those years ago. i�*m helena humprhey, and i�*ll be back in 30 minutes with a bbc half—hour special look at us foreign policy. please do join us for that. hello there. it�*s going to be quite a mixed bag for us this weekend. not a wash—out. there will be some sunshine at times, but that�*s going to come in between two spells of rain that are coming in from the atlantic. atlantic, that means it�*s going to be mild, but saturday looks like it could be quite windy for many places. now, one part of the country sensitive to more rain is dorset, where we�*ve got a number of flood warnings already and there could be 20—30 millimetres of rain here. you can keep up to date

with the flood warnings online. we could see the risk of flooding increasing this weekend with more rain moving in. and this is the rain that�*s heading in at the moment from the southwest. we�*ve got this rain still across scotland leftover from earlier on that is moving northwards. allowing that rain to come in from the southwest and usher in some milder air as well as some stronger winds as well. so for many parts, it�*s going to be a wet start. and because of that, we�*re looking at a mild start to saturday, no frost this time. you can see the extent of the rain across england and wales and northern ireland. it�*s going to move northwards and eastwards. could be quite heavy for a while. for england and wales, we should eventually see some sunshine coming in from the west. the odd shower but rain could return to northern ireland, and it looks quite cloudy for scotland with some rain from time to time. mild, though, temperatures 8—9 in scotland to a high of 1a in the southeast with some late sunshine. it�*s going to turn quite windy through the day, though, across england and wales and northern ireland, gales quite widely, and around

some irish sea coasts the winds could be gusting 60—70 miles an hour. now, those winds will tend to ease overnight and the rain will continue for a while across scotland and northern england. and then as that move through, we�*ve got the next band of rain just approaching the far southwest by sunday morning. again, it should be frost free temperatures, six or seven degrees. and it�*s almost a repeat performance, really, on sunday. this band of rain moves in a little later, but it�*s not going to be quite as heavy. shouldn�*t last as long. and again, we�*ll get some sunshine coming in after the rain for england and wales. more rain returns to northern ireland and still cloud and patchy rain left over in scotland. temperatures not quite so high, but it�*s probably not going to be quite as windy. should be a reasonably mild start to next week. there�*s still some rain around from time to time. it does turn drier as the week goes on, but it does turn a little chillier.
