to continue to defend our country and defend our people. this has been widely interpreted as a victory for south africa - because the icj judges decided. that there is a plausible reason, they believe, that they need to intervene in this case. - joining me on the panel tonight isjournalist and author matthew syed and mick mulvaney, former chief of staff to president trump. first, though, the latest bbc news. the un's highest court says the situation in gaza is catastrophic and "at serious risk of deteriorating further". the 17—judge panel ordered israel to take all measures to prevent genocide, but stopped short of demanding a ceasefire. vladimir putin says ukraine knew a russian plane was carrying dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war when it shot it down, killing everyone on board. kyiv has denied that claim

saying it wasn't informed by russian authorities. and king charles is said to be "doing well" after undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate. he was admitted this morning to the private london clinic, where the princess of wales is also recovering from abdominal surgery. good evening. the united nations' highest court says israel must take action to prevent acts of genocide by its forces in gaza and must let more aid into the enclave to alleviate the suffering. but the provisional ruling from the international court ofjustice, in the hague, stopped short of demanding a ceasefire. joan donoghue, the president of the court, issued their 29—page ruling, but she did not draw conclusions as to whether there had been violations under the convention. that, she said, will happen at a later stage of the process. in the court's view, at least some of the acts and omissions alleged

by south africa have been committed by israel in gaza appear to be capable of falling within the provisions of the convention. the court further considers that israel must ensure, with immediate effect, that its military forces do not commit any of the aforementioned acts. the court is also of the view that israel must take measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to the members of the palestinian group in the gaza strip. they have put certain demands on israel. most importantly, they are expecting a solution to the humanitarian crisis. they have given the israeli government a month to show how it is complying with the instructions. here's the reaction of the south african president, cyril ramaphosa. some have told us that we should mind our own business and not get involved in the affairs of other countries. others have said it was not

our place, and yet it is very much our place, as a people who know too well the pain of dispossession, discrimination, state—sponsored violence. we are also a people who are the victims of the crime of apartheid. we know what apartheid looks like. we experienced and lived through it. we firmly believe that, following this judgment, there should now be a more considered effort towards a ceasefire and negotiations should commence on the permanent two state solution. the court said it had made particular note of the comments from defence minister yoav gallant, and his statement at the outset of the conflict that "there would be no electricity, no food, no fuel. "we are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly."

in response today, the defence minister said he would not be lectured on morality while fighting hamas in gaza... here's the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. israel's commitment to international law is unwavering. equally unwavering is our sacred commitment to continue to defend our country and defend our people. like every country, israel has an inherent right to defend itself. the vile attempt to deny israel this fundamental right is blatant discrimination against the jewish state, and it was justly rejected. the charge of genocide levelled against israel is not only false, it's outrageous, and decent people everywhere should reject it. coinciding with that ruling from the un court came news that 12 people employed by un's refugee

agency in gaza have had their contracts terminated over their supsected involvemement in the 7th of october attacks. the us state department says since put a temporary hold on any future funding for the agency. unrwa said any of their local employees who were involved in acts of terror would be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution. we can speak to natasha hausdorff. she is a barrister and legal director of the uk lawyers for israel charitable trust. thank you very much for coming on the programme. whether or not israel agrees that this court has jurisdiction, whether or not it approves of the ruling, israel is a signatory to the court and to the convention, and therefore it is expected to uphold the court's findings, so how will israel respond? findings, so how will israel resnond?_ findings, so how will israel respond? findings, so how will israel resond? . . , ~ ., respond? indeed, and that is like a artook of respond? indeed, and that is like a partook of these _ respond? indeed, and that is like a partook of these hearings, -

respond? indeed, and that is like a partook of these hearings, and - partook of these hearings, and we have had the response from prime minister benjamin netanyahu. i am not a spokesperson for the israeli government, i am an independent barrister and practitioner, buti think it is clear that the decision of the icj does not prejudge the case, it is not an assessment of the merits of south africa's allegations, and contrary to some of the media reporting, the court has not made any findings on the way that israel has conducted the operation in gaza, it is rather adopting a very low threshold and assessment of the plausibility of the claims that south africa brings to ascertain whether the acts complained of appeared to be capable of falling within the provisions of the genocide convention and, actually, for that matter, did not appear to consider at all israel's reply to south africa's allegations. the main provisional measures that the court has ordered or essentially for israel to comply with the genocide convention, which israel

has repeatedly on them vigorously stated that it is complying with, as it is complying with international humanitarian law more generally. i would say what is of concern, however, i think what is of concern is the circus that has surrounded these proceedings and the way in which south africa has sought to exploit certain important recent decisions of the international court ofjustice in other cases, of justice in other cases, importantly ofjustice in other cases, importantly in gumby and myanmar and ukraine and russia, which impacted technically how the court approaches the genocide convention —— in gambia. south africa has sought to shoehorn its political agenda into this case, a case which the us has called meritless and which prime minister sunak has lamented is completely unjustified... the minister sunak has lamented is completely unjustified... completely un'ustified. .. the court said toda completely unjustified... the court said today that _ completely unjustified... the court said today that the _ completely unjustified... the court said today that the case _ completely unjustified... the court said today that the case wasn't - said today that the case wasn't without merit and that has put allegations on israel specifically with the gross to the supply of aid into the gaza strip. it says that there is a crisis and things are

getting progressively worse. so how is israel going to respond to those concerns? the is israel going to respond to those concerns? ., . . ., concerns? the wording that the court used was about _ concerns? the wording that the court used was about to _ concerns? the wording that the court used was about to enable _ concerns? the wording that the court used was about to enable that - used was about to enable that emergency assistance, and of course israel has been doing exactly that, so if one looks at the provisional measures aouar but not to the satisfaction of the court, and quite honestly not to the satisfaction of the international community... x�*t�*aur the international community... your closest partners _ the international community... your closest partners the _ the international community... your closest partners the united states either needs to be more aid coming into the gaza strip stop you look the us has not alighted an into the gaza strip stop you look the us has not alighted- into the gaza strip stop you look the us has not alighted on what is sto -|n~ the us has not alighted on what is stepping that- _ the us has not alighted on what is stopping that. the _ the us has not alighted on what is stopping that. the responsible - stopping that. the responsible forces, the only purpose it serves is to provide humanitarian assistance and to look after the needs of civilians in armed conflict, they have repeatedly reported that the capacity to inspect aid at the israeli border far exceeds the aid that is going in, so israel clearly is not the hold up here and it is complying... the problem with the dissipation of

aid is that the way the idf is spread out through the gaza strip, and its operations around the main population centres, it therefore is impossible to distribute and disperse aid, and what the court is saying is that something needs to change in order to alleviate the humanitarian situation. the court has certainly _ humanitarian situation. the court has certainly not _ humanitarian situation. the court has certainly not said _ humanitarian situation. the court has certainly not said that - humanitarian situation. the court has certainly not said that in - humanitarian situation. the court has certainly not said that in so l has certainly not said that in so many words. the terminology that it used was general and it required israel to enable aid to enter. israel to enable aid to enter. israel has been doing exactly that. the reports that are emerging from on the ground in gaza, and sis from humanitarian organisations, as well as the idf, is that it is in fact hamas that is hijacking aid and that is preventing it from going to the civilians that require it, and it is important, though, in the context of what the court has said i think, also to recognise the dissenting opinion of the ugandanjudge, who picked up on the political agenda throughout her dissenting judgment,

and in particular, although nothing in herjudgment said specifically about aid, the idea that the south african case has adopted the genocide convention itself, which he specifically said about eight is that it is... the auspices of the genocide convention, it was irrelevant to the court's considerations, but it is important to stress south africa has treated this desperate bid to force a case into this context, the context of the genocide convention, and the ugandanjudge likens it the genocide convention, and the ugandan judge likens it to the proverbial cinderella slipper, trying to make israel 50 case rather than the case for israel. it is important to recognise that that is the key to genocide being alleged here, not that there is any factual basis to its whatsoever, and indeed... basis to its whatsoever, and indeed- - -— basis to its whatsoever, and indeed... ~:: :: i: ., ., ~ :: i: i: indeed... one 6000 of over 26,000, accordin: indeed... one 6000 of over 26,000, according to — indeed... one 6000 of over 26,000, according to the _

ministers? i restraint on the part of israeli ministers?— restraint on the part of israeli ministers? i can complete the understand — ministers? i can complete the understand why _ ministers? i can complete the understand why people - ministers? i can complete the. understand why people hearing remarks like that will have misunderstood them, especially because they were presented by south africa without context and without the important attribution. gallant was talking about hamas, not the palestinian people, and with that... he did not qualify it, though, did he? ., u, he did not qualify it, though, did he? ., . ., ., he? forgive me, the context of the common that _ he? forgive me, the context of the common that had _ he? forgive me, the context of the common that had been _ he? forgive me, the context of the common that had been made - he? forgive me, the context of the common that had been made by i he? forgive me, the context of the - common that had been made by members of the war cabinet and by anyone with a control and input into policy have consistently been with respect to hamas, and not the palestinian people, and that was another one of the gross misrepresentations put forward by south africa that have tragically missed informed the public to date about this case. natasha hausdorff, good of you on the programme. == natasha hausdorff, good of you on the programme-— the programme. -- tragically misinform — the programme. -- tragically misinform the _ the programme. -- tragically misinform the public. - so how are israel's allies likely to respond to all this?

well, there is a report from the news team at axios today that, in conversation with prime minister benjamin netanyahu last week, joe biden pressed him to quickly scale down military operations. on tuesday, the president's rally in virginia was interrupted by protestors several times. he is acutely aware and he is increasingly nervous about gaza's impact on his re—election chances. let's bring in our panel, been patiently waiting with us. matthew syed, can i get a response to what you havejust syed, can i get a response to what you have just been syed, can i get a response to what you havejust been hearing? how do you havejust been hearing? how do you think this might change the approach of israel's allies to the weight this conflict is being carried out? i weight this conflict is being carried out?— weight this conflict is being carried out? ~ , ., , carried out? i think is worth 'ust takin: a carried out? i think is worth 'ust taking a step i carried out? i think is worth 'ust taking a step backi carried out? i think is worth 'ust taking a step back and i carried out? i think is worth 'ust taking a step back and i i carried out? i think is worth just taking a step back and i think i carried out? i think is worth just l taking a step back and i think the reason that the atrocities on october the 7th were so horrific is because iran and hamasas a proxy of iran wanted to cite an over erection and my own view is the defender, supporter of israel, somebody with the belief that they should exist, is the trap of the misery unleashed

on because i don't thing will destroy hamas —— over reaction from israel. it has undermined the abraham accords, the growing dialogue with saudi arabia and turkey, that has been put on hold, and i do think the isolation of israel is tremendously sad for people who are great supporters of this wonderful nation of it is example fight by the fact that the strongest ally in america's privately and evermore publicly calling for its to show restraint. i do think that israel security in the long is being undermined by this more and this is exactly —— exacerbated by the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who would be in all sorts of political difficulty worthy were to cease. he is not popular in israel. he has every incentive consciously or unconsciously to make the war be prolonged and i think that is

another factor playing into the public perception of this war. mick mulvane , public perception of this war. mick mulvaney. the _ public perception of this war. mick mulvaney, the us _ public perception of this war. mick mulvaney, the us state department responded, saying it continues to believe allegations of genocide against israel are unfounded — that is as may be, but this report from axioms does suggestjoe biden is not going to support this indefinitely. do you think that the ruling today might make some within the state department and the national security council think even deeper about that question? i council think even deeper about that cuestion? ., �* ~' council think even deeper about that cuestion? ., �* ~ . , ., question? i don't think the decision toda will question? i don't think the decision today will cause _ question? i don't think the decision today will cause that, _ question? i don't think the decision today will cause that, i _ question? i don't think the decision today will cause that, i think i question? i don't think the decision today will cause that, i think that l today will cause that, i think that conversation has going on from an entirely— conversation has going on from an entirely different reason and has now for— entirely different reason and has now for several weeks full to be sure _ now for several weeks full to be sure the — now for several weeks full to be sure the brief clip from the protesters at president biden because most recent public event. there _ because most recent public event. there are — because most recent public event. there are not many palestinian americans, it is numbers in the single _ americans, it is numbers in the single digits of millions in a country— single digits of millions in a country over 350 million people. however. — country over 350 million people. however, they are geographically very strategically located from a political — very strategically located from a political standpoint, most notably in the _ political standpoint, most notably in the state of michigan. michigan

in 2021, after suffering abuse. a report has highlighted a string of missed opportunities. the conservative peer michelle mone and her husband, doug barrowman, have had millions of pounds in assets frozen or restrained by a court order obtained by the crown prosecution service. the national crime agency is investigating allegations of fraud in contracts for personal protective equipment, awarded during the pandemic to a company linked to mr barrowman. police have released details of a woman they want to trace after the discovery of a baby in a shopping bag in newham. baby elsa, who was found by a dog walker in sub—zero temperatures, has since been discharged from hospital and is in foster care. the met also wants to trace a witness officer think saw the woman in the vicinity. you're live with bbc news. donald trump stormed out

of a new york courtroom earlier today as the closing arguments began in the defamation case brought byjournalist and author ejean carroll. the former president was found liable last year of sexually abusing ms carroll in a new york department store, back in the 1990s, and then defaming her after she wrote about it. the jury must decide what damages he should now pay for that defamation. mr trump was clearly irritated by ms carroll's lawyer roberta kaplan, who told jurors that he had persistently lied about her client. and after he had left, the districtjudge lewis kaplan said, "the record would reflect that mr trump just rose and walked "out of the courtroom." live now to our north america correspondent, nada tawfik. where are we at with this case, nada? when do we get a ruling? christian, a jury now of seven men and two women are deliberating as we speak and they are set to deliberate intel just about ten more speak and they are set to deliberate inteljust about ten more minutes, unless they tell the judge that they are close to a decision, in which case the court might extend some time for them to continue those

deliberations, but i would just show you that they are going over this verdict sheet right now. he just has three questions on it. it talks about whether they believe donald trump should pay damages related to the reputational damage that he caused to ejean carroll, emotional damage that he caused her and, if she'd -- if —— if you should also pay punitive damages. those are essentially looking at how much it would take for him to pay to stop him from continuing to defame ejean carroll. those are the decisions in front of the jury. those are the decisions in front of thejury. ejean those are the decisions in front of the jury. ejean carroll's lawyer said they wanted $24 million to compensate for the reputational harm, her losing work out of this, people not writing to her as an advice columnist because they did not trust her because the president at the time called her a liar, she also wants $12 million, part of that 20

n on —— on $4 million as emotional damage, saying his supporters were parroting his words and attacking her, and we will see what the jury decides and if they agree with that. we'll come back to you if we get news on that. for all the positive news surrounding donald trump's campaign at the moment — and let's face it, he is well on course to win the nomination — there have been these flashes of irritation. on tuesday night, he slammed nikki haley for refusing to concede the nomination... ..which prompted an extraordinary response yesterday, from the republican national committee. the rnc had draughted a resolution that would have named donald trump as nominee before the conclusion of the contest, before south carolina. it prompted this response from haley's chief surrogate and new hampshire governor chris sununu. the hypocrisy, right, is just so silly, because he's attempted to now manipulate the process that he claimed was so rigged against him a couple years ago. and it's right out there in the open, right? i mean, they don't even have the courtesy to go into the back rooms and smoke cigarettes and do it like you see in the cartoons. we will get nick's you on this, matthew, but i don't understand why they would do this. here is a man who is complain three years the

system is rigged against him and the rnc come out and score an own goal like this, particularly when he is going to walk in south carolina. it is quite extraordinary. the broader context is that none of this, none of the controversy over the legal cases, are going to dent trump's popularity with his base. i think of as everyone knows, a shoo—in for the republican nomination and now strunk is favoured to win the presidential election —— strong bookies favourite. ifind this favourite. i find this extraordinary, favourite. ifind this extraordinary, as do many people around the world, and it is not because i thought everything trump did in his first term was that, i think you made a historic success by recognising the historic trend of commonest china, calling out european freeloading on american defence spending, but he is consistently lying —— communist china. he sought to thwart the most precious miracle of the democratic system which is a peaceful transfer of power by lying about the result of power by lying about the result of the election. what kind of annoys

across southern parts of the uk, the winds are a bit lighter, but further north, where we still got these strong and gusty winds, gales likely in the northwest of scotland through the rest of the night. and it's going to be across northern scotland that we see most of the showers, one or two for a while, maybe for northern ireland, perhaps the far north of england. clearer skies and lighter winds further south means it's going to be quite chilly. and across the southeast of england, we could start early saturday with a touch of frost. but on the whole, the prospects for this weekend are looking pretty good. for many places, it is going to be dry. there'll be some sunshine. the winds will pick up through the weekend, but that in turn will lift the temperatures. now, on saturday, most of the rain is here from that band of cloud across northern scotland. maybe seeing a few spots of rain later for northern ireland and western scotland. otherwise, it should be dry with some sunshine. now, the sunshine could be a bit hazy, there could be quite a bit of high cloud around, but temperatures are going to be a bit higher than today — around 9—10 degrees. now, there is a weather frontjust

sort of waiting in the wings in the atlantic that will eventually slide towards the northwest of the uk. but ahead of that, we're going to pick up a stronger southerly wind on sunday. it'll bring up some of the warmth, actually, that we've seen across iberia of late. but we may well see a lot of cloud to begin with, especially around western hills and coasts. the best of the sunshine will be across eastern areas of the uk, and then there's that weather front bringing rain towards northern ireland and particularly into northwest scotland during the afternoon. it will be a windy day, but temperatures continuing to climb. could reach 14 degrees around the murray firth, even along the north coast of northern ireland, ahead of that rain on that weather front there. and that willjust push its way into scotland and northern ireland overnight, making slow progress into england and wales. now, some of this rain could be quite heavy for a while, and with colder air coming in to scotland and northern ireland, there may be some snow over the scottish hills for a while. not much progress of that rain beyond northern england and wales, so the midlands, east anglia and the south is still dry on monday and quite warm as well — highs of 14 or even 15 celsius.
