buckingham palace made clear that the king wanted to be open about his diagnosis, to help others living with the disease — cancer charities have praised him for bringing about awareness of the issue. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes reports. when the king left hospital at the end of january after being treated for a benign enlarged prostate, it's likely his medical team were already aware they had found signs of cancer. at the time, charities praised the way the king had made his treatment public, raising awareness about a condition that many men have been reluctant to talk about. now, they've welcomed the openness around his cancer diagnosis too. the king has done a wonderful job of telling us about his cancer diagnosis. so, he's telling others that he's going through this, that they are not alone, that he is with them on that. but he's also giving his time to his family to come to terms with what's going on and to see what might lie ahead. it's actually relatively common for cancers to be diagnosed when someone's being treated

for another condition. last year, more than 60,000 cancers, around one in five, were identified this way — what's known as "incidental diagnosis". the target is to start cancer treatment within 62 days. but over the last year, 36% — more than a third of all nhs cancer patients in england — waited longer than the target time. if the king's cancer has been picked up quickly, that's good news. an early diagnosis means the chances of a positive outcome are better and more treatment options are available. detecting cancer early is vital because it means the cancer is more likely to be contained, less likely to have spread to other parts of the body. and thatjust makes the likelihood of successful treatment greater. and that will, in turn, improve the chances of survival. regardless of who you are, being told you have cancer will be daunting. but the news this week the king is being treated for cancer has started a national conversation around the disease, perhaps

one that was overdue. dominic hughes, bbc news. a few minutes ago we were with anna foster in turkey a few years on from that devastating but with that hit turkey and syria. —— devastating earthquake. in north—western syria — at least 7,000 people were killed — with around 50,000 families displaced, according to the un. delivering aid to the four million people living in this rebel—held area of syria was extremely difficult. most of the residents had already been displaced by the country's 12—year war. live now to alaa zaza, who's the founding member of the hurras network, an ngo working for the protection of syrian children. thank you so much for being here with us on the programme. just give me your assessment of what the greatest challenge is for children in syria currently.—

this aid has been political, and immediately in the aftermath of the earthquake, instead of delivering rescue teams, instead of delivering aid immediately, the conversation was political, and syrians were left to their own limited resources to respond. but there is hope, there is some kind of resilience, and i think what i want to say is that aid should be focused on this community—based responses. this is not new and i think we need to see a change in how aid is delivered north—west syria. change in how aid is delivered north-west syria.— change in how aid is delivered north-west syria. change in how aid is delivered north-wests ria. . ~ . north-west syria. thank you so much for takinu north-west syria. thank you so much for taking the — north-west syria. thank you so much for taking the time _ north-west syria. thank you so much for taking the time to _ north-west syria. thank you so much for taking the time to speak- north-west syria. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to - north-west syria. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us. i for taking the time to speak to us. thank you. for taking the time to speak to us. thank yon-— for taking the time to speak to us. thank ou. �* ., ., ., ., thank you. and around the world and across the uk. _ thank you. and around the world and across the uk, you're _ thank you. and around the world and across the uk, you're watching - thank you. and around the world and across the uk, you're watching bbc. across the uk, you're watching bbc news. a couple from manchester with a

now to an amazing rescue in the floods and mudslides that have been hitting los angeles. more than a million people have been left without power after a powerful storm. the governor of california has declared a state of emergency in some areas. aruna iyengar has this report. los angeles, america's second largest city, saw a record on sunday of over ten centimetres of rain. there is disruption on the roads, mudslides and flooding. this is the effect of what is being called the pineapple express, an atmospheric stream of moisture stretching across the pacific — and it's causing chaos in southern california. in some hilly areas, people have been ordered to evacuate. this home in a suburb of la slid down a hill and was completely destroyed. oh, my gosh. it was, like, thunder like... and then the sound of trees, i thought, snapping like twigs. it was just this house, completely disintegrating. the los angeles fire department has

told people to stay away from rivers and moving water. this man had to be winched to safety after he went into a river to rescue his dog. we anticipate the rains for a couple of more days, but know that we are not standing alone in our city. i have been in regular communication with our governor, vice president harris has reached out to us to let us know on a federal level and on a state level they are there, they are with us, they are standing by and will be helpful with anything we need. the roads in the sepulveda basin were completely flooded, a man had to be pulled from this car by rescuers after he jumped on the bonnet and flagged for help. across the state, beaches are deserted and businesses were shut up. residents say they have seen nothing like it since the 1980s. roads have collapsed and driving conditions are treacherous. i tried to grip on it and i felt the car starting to, you know, swerve around and that's when the guy hit me

and i completely swerved around. forecasters say heavy rain with life—threatening flash flooding will continue into today. people are being warned not to venture out. aruna iyengar, bbc news, california. this week, as pakistan prepares for a general election, tens of thousands of women face the possibility of being denied the right to vote by male family members. strict social norms confine these women to their homes, where they're often vulnerable to honour killings and domestic violence. bbc�*s farhat javed gained rare access to one of the highly conservative towns — shangla beshaam. the women she spoke to have been given false names to protect their identity. in this fire, the dreams and rights this woman was born to cherish — burned to ashes. living in one of the most conservative towns in pakistan, she has never stepped out

of her village in her entire life. it was only two years ago that her husband allowed her to vote in a local election. translation: i didn't even know until two years ago . that a woman can vote. this year, too, i will vote for whosoever my husband wants me to vote for. i think it is good for women to vote but here it is considered a shame if a woman steps outside to cast her vote. despite making up half of the population, girls here have few schools and no universities at all. look at this building now, this is one of the only two girls' degree colleges in this whole city. it was built some ten years ago, but since then, the government haven't deployed any teachers, so there are no students. now, this means that thousands of girls in this city are deprived of their basic education, which many say is one of the main reasons that they don't

know about their rights. while many like this woman suffer in silence, a change is emerging in the south of pakistan in balochistan. meet the first in her town to challenge landlords in the upcoming election. she may be poor, but she is determined. translation: in balochistan, | it is not a tradition for a woman to contest elections but i have too. i want to eliminate this fear and terror. today, i am contesting an election. tomorrow, more women will stand in the poll. pakistan's election commission says that political parties must ensure that at least 5% of their candidates from general seats are women and that election results will be nullified in any constituency where female voters are less than 10% of the turnout.

but many believe that this limit is so low, political parties can meet it without addressing the broader issue of women's participation in politics. farhatjaved, bbc news, pakistan. before we move on, let's return to our main story. just to put onto the screen the first picture of king charles sent stad cancer diagnosis was made public. this picturejust in the last while, we think the last half an hour. you see king with queen camilla and of course, with her, king charles beginning his treatment for cancer, the prime minister talking earlier to the bbc saying that he was grateful, he was glad the illness had been caught early, and his thoughts were with the monarch and his family stop so, the monarch and his family stop so, the first picture of king charles

hello there, good afternoon. it's going to be turning colder across the uk over the next 24 hours, with snow in the forecast for some of us, including here in shetland through the day today. blizzard—like conditions here and across the north of scotland, coastal gales. blustery winds too still across the south of england. but here we're likely to stay in the milder air until we get to the end of tonight. and you can see that colder air sinking southwards behind the cold front, marked in blue here, just displacing that yellow, milder air further south. now, there will be some heavy rain on that cold front pushing southwards across wales, through the midlands and into east anglia for the rest of the afternoon. blustery winds ahead of the front. to the north, there will be some sunshine around and it will be feeling colder, of course. some snow showers piling into the higher ground of scotland, temperatures ranging between 3 and perhaps 14 degrees celsius. now, there'll be some heavy rain through the evening rush hour, just clearing away from the south of england there. snow showers piling

into western scotland. watch out for some icy stretches here, but there could be icy stretches further south as well as temperatures tend to dip back to low single figures. so a colder night ahead. and tomorrow, a much quieter day of weather, much lighter winds. there will be some sunshine for many, but still this legacy of cloud towards the south coast. still some wintry showers, too, just pushing into scotland and perhaps across northern ireland, but feeling colder across the board, 4 to 10 celsius where we keep that milder feeling air still across the south west of england and the channel islands potentially. and that rain returns, it pushes further northwards as a warm front as it bumps into that colder air, then it's likely to turn to snow as we head through the first part of thursday morning across northern ireland, wales and into the north midlands, also the north of england, particularly over the higher ground. milder air towards the south, of course, but this is where we're likely to see the snow. widely, two to 5 centimetres, even to low levels with the intensity, but 10 to 20 centimetres perhaps over the hills.

so that cold air continues to push further northwards. it's quite a deep area of low pressure, it will bring some heavy rain to the south, and also some strong gusty winds and maybe some blizzard—like conditions for a while, particularly towards eastern areas. that snow moves across scotland, rain towards the south. there will be some strong gusty winds as well and again, a range of temperatures.
