welcome back to bbc news now. these are the headlines. pakistan carries out overnight strikes on what it calls terrorist hideouts in iran's border province two days after iranian attacks on pakistan. the us military carries out a fourth round of air strikes against yemen's houthis hours after the rebel group struck an american ship. and the bafta award nominations are out, we take a look at the films juggernauts contending for the top prize. when the us launched delac launched air strikes against houthis in yemen the white house stressed it was talking to iran about its actions.
12:32 pm
that may have seemed a strange course of action until we factor in the military backing which iran has given to the houthis and the weight the houthis have used it to attack what they say are ships which support israel in its military action against hamas in gaza. iran is also a key supporter of hezbollah, the powerful militant group which has been clashing sporadically with israel along the border with lebanon. iran has not directly intervene in the conflict in gaza but groups linked to it have attacked us bases in northern iraq and syria and iran has itself launched strikes against what it said were terrorist groups based in pakistan. how much influence is iran having over events in the middle east and beyond, and what might it be trying to achieve? our diplomatic correspondent paul adams joins me. that is the question, really, how significant is what is going on in
12:33 pm
iran and the most recent strikes issues between pakistan and iran? i think in general we are looking at an iran that feels that this is an opportunity for it to assert itself regionally. it obviously has the long—standing position and animosity towards israel and also towards israel's principal backer, the us. it is also a country that feels often in and alone. it is interested first and foremost in the preservation of power inside iran, of the preservation of the iranian revolution of 1979, and so everything is really seen through that prism. if we look at what has been happening with pakistan over the last couple of days, this has the last couple of days, this has the makings of a crisis, these are
12:34 pm
two large important countries that have for the last couple of days exchanged blows in a very unusual way. this is a border region where it is very lawless, there are separatist forces, there are drug traffickers, it is part of the world that has caused both iran and pakistan difficulty in the past. each has accused the other of harbouring militants on their territory, while simultaneously maintaining a fairly cordial and functional relationship. and it is not clear at the moment the extent to which the treble over the past couple of days has jeopardised that. i think this is partly driven by iran's desire to be seen perhaps by its own people to be defending iran's national interests in the wake of attacks like the one we saw in care man at the beginning of january, which huge numbers of
12:35 pm
iranian citizens were killed. iran is feeling vulnerable but at the same time assertive and wanting to show to the world and primarily to the us that it has the ability to defend its interest —— like the one we saw in kerman at the beginning of january. we saw in kerman at the beginning of janua . ~ ., ., i. we saw in kerman at the beginning of janua .~ ., ., , january. what do you see as happening _ january. what do you see as happening next? _ january. what do you see as happening next? the - january. what do you see as i happening next? the situation january. what do you see as _ happening next? the situation became dimmer between iran and pakistan, there has been a retaliatory strike, we spoke to our correspondent he was of the opinion that that was it, the tit—for—tat had stopped for the moment. tit-for-tat had stopped for the moment. , tit-for-tat had stopped for the moment. .,, . tit-for-tat had stopped for the moment. ., ., , moment. those are the indications, es. on moment. those are the indications, yes- on both _ moment. those are the indications, yes. on both sides _ moment. those are the indications, yes. on both sides perhaps - moment. those are the indications, yes. on both sides perhaps there i moment. those are the indications, i yes. on both sides perhaps there was an attempt to see this or to portray this as a limited, almost policing operation that in the case of attacks conducted by pakistan, highly unusual attacks on iranians soil, and yet iran pointed out in its reporting that no iranians nationals have been killed, and when
12:36 pm
iran carried out its attacks on pakistani soil, it also emphasised that no pakistani citizens had been targeted. so i think this is something which perhaps both sides have an interest in minimising. i think the response by pakistan was inevitable and i suspect that iran knew that and perhaps took that into account. if that is not the case, if they are now set on some kind of collision path, that is obviously a deeply worrying development, but i think most people currently think that perhaps on it has been restored on both sides. pauli that perhaps on it has been restored on both sides-_ on both sides. pauladams, thank ou. you. let's turn to the war in gaza and qatar says that the first consignment of aid under a deal which was brokered between israel and hamas has entered the territory. planes carrying 21 tonnes of aid have flown into egypt. it is
12:37 pm
understood that has now been delivered to gaza although it is not known if it has been distributed yet. hamas has said that for every box of medicine intended for israeli hostages who were taken during the attack on the 7th of october, 1000 boxes would be reserved for residents of gaza. meanwhile the fighting continues. officials from the hamas run health industry in gaza say at least 16 people were killed and many more injured in a missile strike on a building in rafah in southern gaza with several children claimed to be among the casualties. hamas, which is considered as a terrorist organisation by several western governments, says it only targets militants. we arejoined by governments, says it only targets militants. we are joined by the governments, says it only targets militants. we arejoined by the head of conflict policy and save the children. thank you forjoining us. can you bring us up to date with the delivery of aid originated and
12:38 pm
negotiated by qatar, arrived in egypt yesterday and is, we hear, making its way into gaza? what are you hearing from the people that know where it is and how to distribute it?— know where it is and how to distribute it? well, i think the first thing _ distribute it? well, i think the first thing to _ distribute it? well, i think the first thing to say _ distribute it? well, i think the first thing to say is _ distribute it? well, i think the first thing to say is that - distribute it? well, | think the| first thing to say is that getting aid into a population that needs it should not require high—level diplomacy. aid should be uninterrupted and unimpaired by all parties to any conflict. so while it obviously is good news to have medicine for all those who need it, it is sad that it takes so much political capital for this to happen. children who need access to food, water, medicine, should not have to rely on the leaders of regional countries coming to make agreements for short windows for that to get through. and of course the scale of need in gaza for the over1 million children there is absolutely vast and while against these medicines and these key drugs are vital, we shouldn't forget that
12:39 pm
we are dealing with the situation in which every single child in gaza is hungry, but many children in gaza, numbering in the tens of thousands, are heading towards the famine conditions and of course the prospect of the death toll going up very significantly in a very short space of time.— very significantly in a very short space of time. very significantly in a very short sace of time. . . .,, , space of time. that warning has been civen over space of time. that warning has been given over the _ space of time. that warning has been given over the last _ space of time. that warning has been given over the last few _ space of time. that warning has been given over the last few weeks - space of time. that warning has been given over the last few weeks or - space of time. that warning has been given over the last few weeks or so . given over the last few weeks or so about the situation of famine. take us through the level of need in gaza at the moment. the us through the level of need in gaza at the moment.— at the moment. the level of need is absolute across _ at the moment. the level of need is absolute across every _ at the moment. the level of need is absolute across every section - at the moment. the level of need is absolute across every section and i absolute across every section and sector of the humanitarian response. yesterday saw 225 aid trucks go into gaza, compared to the pre—conflict average. we shouldn't get ourselves focusing on the number of trucks because the population across gaza has different needs and parts of the north in particular are finding it very hard to get access to aid and the number of convoys given
12:40 pm
permission to get to that population is extremely low indeed and today of course we have seen the main access road from north to south cut off. we have also seen issues of the last week or so in terms of communication blackout and inability to communicate, whether that is eight operators with a population trying to work out where it is relatively safe because of course there is no single safe place in gaza. when you are talking about that mismatch between the actual need for aid and the amount we are able to get in and distribute effectively, mass suffering happens in between and of course i would really sum up our response at phenomenon is not reversing or addressing humanitarian but it is slowing its descent into greater levels of hell. indie but it is slowing its descent into greater levels of hell.— greater levels of hell. we really appreciate _ greater levels of hell. we really appreciate your _ greater levels of hell. we really appreciate your time, _ greater levels of hell. we really appreciate your time, thank - greater levels of hell. we really l appreciate your time, thank you. the uk's royal family has at times in the past been criticised for being overly secretive, especially when it comes to matters of health.
12:41 pm
with journalists and the public alike often left speculating on just what might be wrong with senior figures in the house of windsor. but it seems that's changed under the reign of king charles. in the space ofjust ninety minutes on wednesday, we learned first that princess catherine is recovering in hospital after undergoing abdominal surgery — and then that king charles will be treated — in a medical setting — for an enlarged prostate, next week. full details haven't been made public — but we have been told that neither condition is cancer—related. our royal correspondent sean coughlan is with me. quite an extraordinary 9o quite an extraordinary 90 minutes yesterday. learning about two senior members of the royal family, yesterday. learning about two senior members of the royalfamily, both... rafah in hospital and one about to be. do we know more? this rafah in hospital and one about to be. do we know more?— rafah in hospital and one about to be. do we know more? as you say we were at the — be. do we know more? as you say we were at the hospital _ be. do we know more? as you say we were at the hospital waiting _ be. do we know more? as you say we were at the hospital waiting to - be. do we know more? as you say we were at the hospital waiting to hear . were at the hospital waiting to hear more about the princess of is an suddenly got a press release about
12:42 pm
the condition of king giles. an extraordinary moment. so far we know that the princess of wales theatre getting better —— back of the condition of king charles. we know she is getting better, the operation was a success and we hope it will go in the right direction. it is serious enough for her to stay in hospitalfor serious enough for her to stay in hospital for at least serious enough for her to stay in hospitalfor at least a serious enough for her to stay in hospital for at least a fortnight and recuperation will take several months. well beyond easter before she is back on official duty. we know it is fairly serious. king charles will hopefully it will be a fairly brief interruption to his work but it is interesting how it has been opened up to the public and he wants, i think, to raise awareness of prostate issues and possibly challenge any embarrassment that men might have about talking about it and i think he is hoping people will go ahead and get their own checks. people will go ahead and get their own checke— around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

curious feline faces stare from the pens at the rspca's in central london centre. cats and kittens that have been abandoned, abused or rescued, and the site always runs at capacity. something the royal society for the prevention of cruelty to animals is celebrating for its bicentenary. it all started here on saint martin's lane in 182a, when, over coffee, and thai slavery campaigners william wilberforce, richard humanity dick martin and i theologist, arthur breen, got together at the old snort is coffee house that used to stand here and founded the spca. it was queen victoria who later made it royal. this new society soon had impact. cockfighting, bull baiting and dog all bands. you're live with bbc news.
12:44 pm
let's have another little royal story. a century ago, a luxury doll�*s house was made for king george v and his wife queen mary — as a gift from the british nation after the first world war. it's now being put on display to the public — and our royal correspondent, daniela relph, has been to take a look. forget any ideas of a traditional dolls' house you play with. this is the bigger royal version that's now 100 years old, made for queen mary, king charles's great grandmother, it reflects a lavish lifestyle. this is the wine cellar. these bottles, the size of thumbnails, really are filled with wine. in the miniature playroom, there is a miniature train set and toys. in the library, the shelves are filled with books created by the most popular authors of the time.
12:45 pm
a copy of country life magazine has been casually cast aside. when you get to the kitchen, even the products used have been accurately sourced. every detail was pored over to show a privileged life in the 1920s under the reign of king george v. the dolls' house was designed to promote british brand in the years after the first world war. a way to showcase the very best in craftmanship before being moved to windsor castle. the 100—year anniversary exhibition will allow visitors to see some of that craftsmanship up close. they'll get a sense of scale, and will be able to compare the smaller items to the real thing. in the 1920s, the vacuum cleaner was a relatively new invention. hoover themselves made a mini version for the dolls' house, one of several pieces that were more
12:46 pm
useful than extravagant. this was actually made by singer, and you can see that it's absolutely made correctly — as a real full sized sewing machine would be made. so all the wheels turn, the treadle works properly and it's properly hinged. so the little flaps work up. if i take off the tiny little scissors, you canjust see how it folds up. and those are scissors that actually work, as well? they do. i've tried them on a piece of paper and they do actually properly cut. of course, amongst the ordinary, is the highly valuable — these are scaled down crown jewels. they include real diamonds and a ruby. then the elaborately decorated grand piano. look inside it and you see it's been properly strung. it is a dolls' house like no other, a scaled down insight into an aristocratic world and the skill and precision of british craftsmanship. daniela relph, bbc

12:56 pm
between ten and 1a days. we will bring you any more updates as and when we get them. do stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. we started with a bitterly cold morning, leading us into another bitterly cold day and really through today and tomorrow, it's going to remain cold. there'll be further snow showers, especially so in the north of the country with some blizzards and drifting. into the weekend, it turns much milder than it has been, but it's going to be wet and windy. so the met office amber weather warning still in force for the far north of scotland and the northern isles. we could see a further 5 to 15 centimetres of snow, with blizzards and drifting. 5 to 10 centimetres coming out of some of the snow showers in northern ireland and a few wintry showers across the irish sea and the north sea coastline, making it inland at times. but despite the fact most of us will have a dry day with some sunshine, it's still going to feel cold. as we head through the latter part of the afternoon and into the evening and overnight, further snow showers across the isle of man
12:57 pm
into north—west england, wales, cheshire, possibly even as far south as the midlands. but the showers, not all of us will see them, and we'll have more snow showers coming in across scotland. but the wind is going to change direction to more of a westerly. so it's not going to be as cold along the coasts. you can see the greens here move inland. we're looking at another widespread frost and another cold night. so tomorrow, we start off with a lot of dry and sunny conditions. initially, the snow will be at low levels in scotland, but through the day it will rise into the hills above about 400 metres or so and quite a brisk wind, as well. temperatures, 1 in lerwick to a high of 6 as we push down towards the south of england and wales. so temperatures are going to be higher than they have been, but it will still feel cold. and then as we head on into the weekend the weather changes, we start to have more of an atlantic influence, with strong winds, gales, even severe gales at times and weather fronts bringing in some rain. so this is the picture on saturday. the rain coming in from the west pushing generally eastwards. we're also looking at drier
12:58 pm
conditions, brighter conditions in the far south—east. but it is going to be a windy day wherever you are. but note the temperatures, 6 to 9 degrees. it's been quite a while since we've seen temperatures at that level. and if anything, as we head on into sunday and monday, temperatures are going to continue to rise. but on sunday, we're looking at more rain, some heavy rain and also strong winds with some melting snow, too, which could lead to some local flooding.
12:59 pm
1:00 pm
today at one — the biggest day of strike action in northern ireland in 50 years. when do we want it? now! more than 100,000 public sector workers are involved, affecting schools, health care and public transport. thousands of workers have been taking part in a huge demonstration here in belfast city centre to demand better wages and an end to political stalemate. also on the programme this lunchtime... it's absolutely freezing, it takes absolutely ages for their house to warm up. the coldest night of the winter so far in most of the uk — we find out how people are trying to stay warm.
