the health ministry in gaza, run by hamas, has said that 50 people were killed in overnight bombing and 100 people injured around khan younis. there is intense bombardment now. the families of israeli hostages accuse their prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, of not doing enough to get their loved ones back. we will speak to one of the families on the programme tonight. also, a new era for india, says prime minister nerendra modi, as a new hindu temple rises where once stood a 16th century mosque.

our correspondent yogita limaya willjoin us from ayodya tonight. and we will also call in on the weather centre. storm isha causing wide—spread travel problems across europe today. another storm, jocelyn, is right behind it. good evening. there is a split within the israeli war cabinet. there are those, like prime minister benjamin netenhayu, who think only military pressure will end hamas and bring home the 130 hostages they are holding. but there are others in the cabinet, including senior military figures, who say it is impossible to return them alive without an agreement. and in the middle of that are the families. today those tensions spilt into the open, as families of the missing barged past security and stormed a finance meeting in the knesset. "shame on you," they shouted at ministers. "we won't let you breathe," said one, "until our "children are brought home."

the protest reflects growing dissent in israel, about the war with hamas, now in its fourth month. and the motivations of a deeply unpopular prime minister, opposed to any talk of a two—state solution. 0n the ground, there is no sign of a new phase in the conflict. palestinians in southern gaza say the israeli bombardment has intensified again, with over 25,000 now dead, according to the gaza health ministry. 190 have been killed in the past 2a hours. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza now estimates that more than 25,000 people have been killed there. but what about the living? how are they coping with the war, and surviving? well, some of them have been sending us videos and voice messages. tonight we hearfrom khalid, a medical equipment supplier and father of five. he's injabalia in the north of gaza. khalid, his wife and five children have moved three times since october,

trying to find somewhere safe. khalid is not a doctor, but he used to sell medical supplies. as gazan hospitals shut down, he turned his home into a makeshift clinic to treat the wounded. his work affects his children. an airstrike hits the next street.

with airstrikes so close, khalid decides it's time to go. khalid moves his family to shelter near al—shifa, which was the main hospital in northern gaza.

families now all live together, in blown—out buildings.

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said saturday that he "will not compromise on full israeli control" over gaza and that "this is contrary to a palestinian state," rejecting us presidentjoe biden�*s suggestion that creative solutions could bridge wide gaps between the leaders�* views on palestinian statehood. just a short time ago at the white house the national security spokesman john kirby said it remains the best option. it is the president's view that two—state solution is the best path forward for the people of gaza, for the palestinian people, as well as for the israeli people. he is also under no illusions as to how difficult it is going to be to get there, particularly with this conflict going on in gaza. so we are going to keep the discussions going with our israeli counterparts, we are going to keep talking about it with mahmoud abbas, we are going to keep talking about it with our counterparts in the region, in the hopes that more progress can be made. if this was easy, my goodness,

we would have had a two—state solution for years now. it is not easy, it is hard. it is really hard. and it requires a compromise, it is going to require negotiation, it is going to require sacrifices again on both sides. the president understands that. live now to washington dc to speak to nahal toosi, senior foreign affairs correspondent and columnist at politico. she has written before about the relationship between the israeli government and the white house. thank you for coming on, or free. where do you view that relationship at the moment because mag do you think things are deteriorating? is the white house impatient with benjamin netanyahu? i the white house impatient with benjamin netanyahu?— the white house impatient with benjamin netanyahu? ben'amin netanyahu? i think that the us benjamin netanyahu? i think that the us ist in: benjamin netanyahu? i think that the us is trying very _ benjamin netanyahu? i think that the us is trying very hard _ benjamin netanyahu? i think that the us is trying very hard to _ benjamin netanyahu? i think that the us is trying very hard to stay - us is trying very hard to stay patient, but they are sort of in a rut with benjamin netanyahu. it kinda feels like the definition of insanity. keep doing it over and over, keep talking, bringing up the same ideas. send antony blinken back over and over again. but they have not got very far with him. i know

that they are frustrated but they don't feel like they have a lot of alternatives. he is the man in charge right now in israel, in a sense, given his many political issues and all of the various interests he is trying to please. but he is the prime minister, and so they have no choice but to keep trying to talk to him and convince him to go along with what they are suggesting. him to go along with what they are su: acestin. , him to go along with what they are su~aestina. , ., him to go along with what they are su~aestina. ,~ . ., , suggesting. they are clearly -ressina suggesting. they are clearly pressing ahead _ suggesting. they are clearly pressing ahead with - suggesting. they are clearly pressing ahead with a - suggesting. they are clearly - pressing ahead with a prospective peace plan, they have sent the middle east coordinator to the region today, he is in cairo. actio subjects reported in the last few minutes that israel is proposing a two—month pause in the fighting in gaza for the release of all hostages. where do you see the difficulties in these discussions at the moment?— the moment? well, i think the auestion the moment? well, i think the question is _ the moment? well, i think the question is do _ the moment? well, i think the question is do you _ the moment? well, i think the question is do you go - the moment? well, i think the question is do you go along - the moment? well, i think the. question is do you go along with the moment? well, i think the - question is do you go along with the maximalist demands of hamas or not? some of the proposed plans that have been reported where that basically hamas said that we will give you

these hostages if you basically pull out and lee was in charge. and for benjamin netanyahu and the others, thatis benjamin netanyahu and the others, that is really not acceptable, because pretty much everybody across the israeli political spectrum agree that hamas has to be completely defeated. even if there are some now who are saying that maybe that is not a totally realistic goal. the idea that... it comes down to the question of how much do you prioritise the hostages versus how much do you prioritise destroying hamas. and hamas understands that this is an important issue for israel, and so this is a challenge, one that i am naturally they have figured out. if they go with this two—month idea and say that they will do a pause in the fighting if they are given the hostages back, hamas will definitely demand some prisoner releases at least. that might get a bit further than some of the other proposals have but then the other proposals have but then the question becomes how much can hamas regroup? how much can they rebuild during these two months? and i am not entirely certain that

everybody, certainly not on the far right in israel, would be willing to go along even with that. just readin: go along even with that. just reading a _ go along even with that. just reading a bit _ go along even with that. just reading a bit more _ go along even with that. just reading a bit more from the news agency that is dropping information at the moment. israel is giving hamas proposals from qataris and egyptian mediators that includes up to two months as a pause is up to a multiphase deal that would include the release of all remaining hostages, presumably in stages. that has been confirmed by two israeli officials. we havejust been watching these pictures in the can i sit today of desperately frustrated families, anxious, worried, angry families, anxious, worried, angry families, who want benjamin netanyahu to do more. i wonder as these pictures are playing around these pictures are playing around the world weather that ups the pressure on the war cabinet to move more quickly on this.— more quickly on this. absolutely. there is nothing... _ more quickly on this. absolutely. there is nothing... no _ more quickly on this. absolutely. there is nothing... no way - more quickly on this. absolutely. there is nothing... no way to - there is nothing... no way to imagine what these families are going through, each hostage case is unique in its own way. there isjust no words to explain these emotions. so these families are trying to get

across what they are feeling and are wanting these politicians were used to making these decisions in ways that are not necessarily emotionally collected, and are thinking about political issues and military issues. so these trade—offs are very challenging for everybody, but if you are... if you have enough people together making the case that you have to make the hostages the priority, then that is definitely going to move the needle to some extent. but i am not certain that it is going to move it to the extent where israel would say, ok, we will do that and take this original proposal and pull out and leave hamas in charge. i think that is a different calculation. there is a lot of agreement amongst israeli society that you cannot tolerate a gaza strip that is right there and has this group in charge. there is just too much of a threat and they are going to carry out what they did on october the 7th once again, so they have to be eliminated. i imagine that is the case. thank you

very much for that. let me just read you some of this detail which is really interesting. it has just come in and the last few minutes on this mediation which is continuing. two israeli officials say that the israeli officials say that the israeli war cabinet approved ten days ago the parameters of this new proposal which are different, they say, from aspects of deals that were rejected by hamas in recent weeks. they are awaiting still for a response from hamas but they have stressed that they are cautiously optimistic about the ability of making this work in the coming days. what we hear is that the deal would include the release of all remaining hostages. as they say, through stages. those who are alive and also the return of dead hostages, but in several phases. the first phase would see the release of women and men over the age of 60, and then of course those hostages who are in a critical medical condition, of which there are a number, and then the next phases would include the release of female soldiers, men under the age of 60, who are not

soldiers, israeli male soldiers and then the bodies of the hostages that are left. so a number of phases in that process. you will remember back in november there were a number of stages, coming out every day, and it did work for at least two weeks. let's get a view on this from lior perry. lior peri's father haim was taken hostage on october 7th — his half brother daniel, who is a british citizen was murdered. he is in tel aviv this evening. thank you for being with us. can i get your response to what you have just heard, that perhaps there is a deal on the table that would lead to a two—month pause in return for presumably your father, who would be in the first stages of the release? hopefully. it is news to me, although i have heard of a few offers for deals today. but i have heard it over the last few weeks

also, so all of this ongoing and dragging out of the process is horrible foreigners. every single day is another day that my father and his friend are nearing their end. we feel like we do not have this time to pinpoint and to check exactly what the negotiations will be and all of the terms and details, it is too much for us. we needed to be executed today. i it is too much for us. we needed to be executed today.— be executed today. i can imagine that. i be executed today. i can imagine that- i am _ be executed today. i can imagine that. i am sure _ be executed today. i can imagine that. i am sure everybody - be executed today. i can imagine that. i am sure everybody has . that. i am sure everybody has sympathy with that watching. tell me about your father, and the sort of condition you think he will be in. have you had any news at all from the israeli officials as to where he is being kept and in what condition? the last we heard of him was the video of the three old men sitting and talking with the one in the middle that was doing the talking, thatis middle that was doing the talking, that is my father. that was more than one month ago and they looked

pretty bad. more than a month has passed, and we know that there have been movements of the hostages around. we have seen pictures of the idf captured tunnels that they were being held in. the situation of moving them around under bombing and in very severe conditions, i can only imagine the situation is very bad now. not only physically but in terms of morale and the psychological impact. i am very afraid of the situation right now. can i ask you how you feel about what went on today at the knesset? do you support the families that are taking it directly to the ministers? absolutely. it should have been... it should have happened on december the 1st. when we heard that the israeli stop to the hostage release situation which was going on for

seven days. then they refused the offer that hamas gave them to bring out several women and three old men. and they said that they would not play along with what hamas is doing. i am afraid that my father may have been released already then, so ever since that moment i thought that our only target should be the israeli government, and the prime minister, of course. we now discovered he is actively making it difficult, not to say the least he is not helping but he is making it difficult for negotiations and stating things that can only interfere with it. so the addressing of the prime minister directly is the right thing, but i think, that we should do. of course it should be angry, and it should be

shouting and not pleading for help because i think the way we see it they owe us a lot. they owe us the lives of our loved ones. just they owe us a lot. they owe us the lives of our loved ones.— lives of our loved ones. just a bit more detail— lives of our loved ones. just a bit more detail that _ lives of our loved ones. just a bit more detail that is _ lives of our loved ones. just a bit more detail that is coming - lives of our loved ones. just a bit more detail that is coming on - lives of our loved ones. just a bit more detail that is coming on in | lives of our loved ones. just a bit i more detail that is coming on in the last few minutes. the israeli officials say they have made clear that israel will not agree to end a war and will not agree to release all 6000 palestinian prisoners from the israeli prisons. do you believe, as some do, that the primary state is prolonging this war to prevent conflict within his coalition? he says that is utter nonsense. what do you think? i says that is utter nonsense. what do ou think? ~ ., ., , you think? i think one of his ministers. _ you think? i think one of his ministers, one _ you think? i think one of his ministers, one of— you think? i think one of his ministers, one of the - you think? i think one of his . ministers, one of the extremist right—wing ministers that he has in his government, has very clearly said today to end the war and we will enter the government. so i think he was very clear about it. i think he was very clear about it. i think that is the biggest fear benjamin netanyahu. after that being

said, imagine a person not resigning are not leaving the chair, as we say, in order to save 136 lives. 0nly say, in order to save 136 lives. only this situation is crazy. when you have the choice between staying in power are saving 136 israeli lives that have been abducted out of their beds on the saturday morning, on your ship, that to me very clearly declares that he is not with us any more. clearly declares that he is not with us any more-— us any more. lior, we are thinking of ou us any more. lior, we are thinking of you and — us any more. lior, we are thinking of you and your — us any more. lior, we are thinking of you and your family. _ us any more. lior, we are thinking of you and your family. thank - us any more. lior, we are thinking of you and your family. thank you | of you and your family. thank you for coming on the programme this evening, it is greatly appreciated. thank you very much. just evening, it is greatly appreciated. thank you very much.— evening, it is greatly appreciated. thank you very much. just one of the line or breaking _ thank you very much. just one of the line or breaking news _ thank you very much. just one of the line or breaking news about - thank you very much. just one of the line or breaking news about this - line or breaking news about this deal that is being moderated at the moment which the israelis have put forward to hamas. israeli officials say that the idf, the israeli

defence forces, would be moved out of the main population centres in the conclave allowing a gradual return of palestinian civilians to gaza city and the northern gaza strip. as of the deal unfolds. but clearly, if they are not prepared to enter the war, then the security of those palestinians who go home of course is very much open to question. we will see what response we get from hamas. i hope you'll join us in our second hour this evening because our international correspondent will be with us this evening. 0ur chief international correspondent. we will get her thoughts on that. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. the government has said it would not support royal mail scrapping deliveries on saturdays. there have been reports that this could be one option put forward by the regulator, 0fcom, in a review about future services. royal mail said it was not sustainable to maintain a delivery network built for 20 billion letters, when only seven billion are delivered. the nhs has launched a new campaign to encourage more people in england

to get their children vaccinated against measles. cases are on the rise, and new figures show more than three million children under the age of 16 have not received their jabs. areas with low uptake of the vaccine are being targeted first. uk households are on track for cheaper energy bills in april — according to a new report by a leading forecaster. cornwall insight say the annual bill for the average household is expected to fall by around 16% — or £300. energy prices have been a centralfactor in the uk's high inflation rate. you're live with bbc news. the house of lords has backed calls to delay ratifying the new uk—rwanda treaty until kigali has made several changes to its asylum procedures. peers voted by 214 to 171 in favour of a motion that called on the government not to officially validate the treaty "until the protections it provides

have been fully implemented". live now to westminster and our political correspondent harry farley. hello, harry. as i understand it it wasjust hello, harry. as i understand it it was just breaking as i hello, harry. as i understand it it wasjust breaking as i came hello, harry. as i understand it it was just breaking as i came to the studio, this is the treaty on which the bill is based. so what does it suggest about the attitude of the lords towards the bill?— suggest about the attitude of the lords towards the bill? well, yes, that is right- _ lords towards the bill? well, yes, that is right. this _ lords towards the bill? well, yes, that is right. this is _ lords towards the bill? well, yes, that is right. this is the _ lords towards the bill? well, yes, that is right. this is the treaty - that is right. this is the treaty that is right. this is the treaty that the government signed with rwanda to put in place or add a legal way to a number of measures that aim to address the concerns from the supreme court, judges here in the uk. thosejudges from the supreme court, judges here in the uk. those judges said that the government's plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda was unlawful because they did not think that rwanda was a safe country, so the government signed this treaty to put in place a number of measures to try and address those concerns. and what the house of lords has done this evening and about to say that the

government should delay ratifying, officially confirming this treaty, until the measures are actually in place. they say that the government should delay the treaty until all of those measures have been put in place. it is important to understand that the motion is advisory, not binding on the government, the government can ignore what the government can ignore what the government has said. but as you say, it does give an indication of the level of opposition that rishi sunak�*s plan is likely to face in the house of lords when the bill begins to be debated next week. harry, thank you very much for that. in just a few hours' time, polls will open in new hampshire for the republican primary, in what is now officially a head to head after ron desantis pulled out on sunday night. the governor of florida, who was polling in single figures, endorsed donald trump as he departed. the surprise video announcement leaves nikki haley as mr trump's only rival. this was mr desantis�*s concession speech, after such a disappointing stephanie murphy and rodney davis
