the us secretary of state lands in israel as hamas responds to a proposed ceasefire deal for gaza. on this vote, the yays are 214 and the nays are 216, the resolution is not adopted. us house republicans fail to impeach the nation's homeland security chief over his handling of border security. one congressman tells me he suspects they'll try again. and a michiganjury finds a mother guilty for failing to stop her son from carrying out a mass shooting. it's the first such ruling of its kind. hello, i'm caitriona perry. we begin in the middle east. israel says it's informed the families of 31 hostages held in gaza that their loved ones are dead. this as talks continue to get the remaining hostages released. hamas is believed to have given a positive response

to a framework proposal for a new ceasefire in gaza. the details of the deal set out by israel, the us, qatar and egypt have not been released. but it's reported to include a six—week truce, when more israeli hostages would be exchanged for palestinian prisoners. israel and the us have both said they are reviewing hamas�*s response. meanwhile, us secretary of state antony blinken arrived in tel aviv in the past few hours where he's set to meet israel's leaders. before departing from qatar earlier, mr blinken showed optimism that a deal was in sight. we put forward a proposal that was aimed at not simply repeating the previous agreement but expanding it. as the prime ministerjust said, hamas responded tonight. we are reviewing that response now and i'll be discussing it with the government of israel tomorrow. there is still a lot of work

to be done but we continue to believe that an agreement is possible and indeed essential. and we will continue to work relentlessly to achieve it. following this, a senior hamas official told the bbc that the group had asked for amendments to the proposal. our middle east correspondent barbara plett usher is injerusalem and sent us this update. this is an important development because hamas received the proposal for the truce about a week ago and now it has responded as secretary of state antony blinken is in the region and mr blinken will be discussing it on his next stop in israel. before he got on the plane, in doha, he said there was still a lot of work to be done and he didn't give any detail about the hamas reply but a senior hamas official spoke to the bbc and he said that the group had us for a number of things, including a clear timetable for the reconstruction of gaza and also the transfer of the wounded to hospitals abroad. hamas released a statement

which made it pretty clear that it wants this to lead to an end to the war. the israelis have also made it clear that they do not see a temporary truce becoming a permanent ceasefire so no doubt that will be part of the continuing negotiations but those who drafted this proposal, the egyptians, qataris, americans, they do have that it leads to a lengthy ceasefire which will allow for the release of the rest of the israeli hostages, a dramatic increase and aid to gaza and will also lay the groundwork for our postwar arrangements are all eyes are going to be on mr blinken during his talks in israel. barbara plett usher there. well, earlier, ispoke to heather williams, former intelligence official and the acting director of international security and defense policy for rand corporation to get her analysis of the proposal. they responded to the steel, and release of prisoners amongst other things, why do you think it's taken so long for hamas the comeback with a

response? i for hamas the comeback with a re5ponse?_ response? i think that we are seeinu response? i think that we are seeing this — response? i think that we are seeing this by _ response? i think that we are seeing this by secretary - seeing this by secretary blinken, for a push for a second ceasefire because of how much things are starting to escalate in the region and i think it looks relatively promising that prospect alleys for temporary ceasefire and these early signals from hamas that there would be open to it even though they are currently unreasonable. i even though they are currently unreasonable.— unreasonable. i think it brings a bit of hope. _ unreasonable. i think it brings a bit of hope. antony - unreasonable. i think it brings a bit of hope. antony blinkenl a bit of hope. antony blinken will discuss _ a bit of hope. antony blinken will discuss it _ a bit of hope. antony blinken will discuss it with _ a bit of hope. antony blinken will discuss it with the - will discuss it with the israelis when he meets them tomorrow, what's going to be trying to do that? i tomorrow, what's going to be trying to do that?— trying to do that? i think that he is going — trying to do that? i think that he is going to _ trying to do that? i think that he is going to be _ trying to do that? i think that he is going to be trying - trying to do that? i think that he is going to be trying to - trying to do that? l think that| he is going to be trying to get at least a temporary ceasefire in place and i do think that both sides are potentially receptive to it and it's the details that are the challenge but if these things were preordained, we wouldn't need skilled diplomats. it's very specific that israel is going to be looking for in terms of what are the acceptable demands

from if there's going to be any assurances of how many hostages might be released in exchange for a temporary ceasefire that allows unitarian aid to flow into gaza. —— hamas. in into gaza. -- hamas. in addition _ into gaza. -- hamas. in addition to _ into gaza. —— hamas. in addition to that deal, secretary blinken is on this tour trying to ease the tense situation that we see around the red sea at the moment, can the red sea at the moment, can the regional spread of the comp be content of this point like the us is seeking to do from the us is seeking to do from the outset?— the us is seeking to do from the outset? there is a desire from all parties _ the outset? there is a desire from all parties for _ the outset? there is a desire from all parties for some - from all parties for some temperance here, iran is a proxy, they want to look for opportunities to do harm to the united states and israel but iran does not want to find itself to draw and a direct conflict with the us. i think it's important to recognise that sometimes, there does need to be some kind of response by the united states, united kingdom, others in order to de—escalate events, lack of response is not in itself the

escalatory but there are essentially two conflicts happening here, direct conflict between hamas and israel and a competition between the us, israel and iran proxies, they are interrelated but not result for the same solution, it a different solution to each of those problems.— different solution to each of those problems. you don't think that they are — those problems. you don't think that they are linked _ those problems. you don't think that they are linked in _ those problems. you don't think that they are linked in some - that they are linked in some way, if there is a deal between hamas and israel that they would also calm the attacks that we see from houthi's, do you think that's already set? i think a ceasefire in gaza can help temple what's happening in the red sea and what's happening in terms of us forces in iraq and syria and proxy attacks that have been happening there but it also think that the direct response that has been happening against houthi targets and against the 85 sites that the united states struck in iraq and syria, that an important component for

trying to de—escalate events. heather williams of the rand corporation there. turning now to a dramatic night of political developments on capitol hill. us secretary of homeland security alejandro mayorkas has survived an impeachment attempt by house republicans. republicans suffered a stunning defeat, falling short of the simple majority voted needed to charge mr mayorkas with high crimes and misdemeanors forfailing to secure the us—mexico border. he is the first cabinet member in more than 150 years to face the prospect of impeachment by the house. it comes as a bipartisan senate bill on us—mexico border security and immigration is now on the verge of collapsing. republican senators say they will kill the deal only 48 hours after it was released. the deal would have included major changes to the us asylum process, and granted the department of homeland security the authority to shut down the us—mexico border if crossings rose above 5,000 on average in a day. in return for stepped up border security, it would have provided fresh aid to ukraine and israel. president biden blamed former president donald trump for influencing

members of his party. republicans set aside, who do they serve? donald trump? or the american people? are they here to solve problems? or just weaponise those problems for political purposes? i know my answer. i serve the american people. i'm here to solve problems. in the last hour, i spoke aobut all this with republican congressman from tennessee, tim burchett. the house republicans effort to impeach secretary mayokas has failed today, not all of your colleagues waiting for it, do you intend to hold the vote again? i suspect we will. i think this was just an effort to put the votes on the board to see where we are at, folks

will go home and they will hear from the constituents and i suspect someone will be unhappy about this outcome and i suspect there might be one or two clamouring to get that vote back up again so i suspect it will come back again. secretary mayokas has told us at the border is fine, it is functioning, we are keeping people out yet in the last three years, we've had anywhere from eight — 10 million people come over the border illegally, i don't know any shape, form or fashion where that's a success and the new bill, that's coming from the senate will allow up to 5000 a day for it triggers them stopping the border so, a999 a day can come over the border and there will be no—one stopping them... but your own republican senate, your fellow party person james lankford who drafted that bill has actually taken a point of exception with how some of your colleagues

are describing that, that it's not allowing 5000 people to cross the border before the threshold, that security measure is triggered, its 5000 encounters before it must be triggered and actually the homeland security secretary will have the power to shut the border after 4000 encounters not necessarily people crossing but talking about what happened... let me correct on one thing. we already have the power, we already sent hr to over to the senate and they have tried for the last six months chosen to do anything with it. 4999 is ok? i don't know, that doesn't sound right, if people of tennessee that i represent were overrun, overrun with fentanyl, crime, it's just not that... it's costing this country $400 million a year to keep these people out. that bipartisan, those measures would have been triggered in december with those ragged numbers that you're talking

about because the seven—day average, there was 9743 so more than twice the point at which this measure would kick in but going back... so, 5000 is ok? i'm quoting from the act, i don't have an opinion myself but going back to what happened today, three past homeland security secretaries, republicans and democrats and other critics have said that your charges after secretary don't meet the constitutional threshold of high crimes and misdemeanours, that it's more about policy and perhaps the person that you need to have in the dog on that is the president, another secretary. the president is absent as you well known. he claims today, as a matter of fact, there is a problem at at the border. he's secretary was asked about and she was in a little bit confusion over that answer. this president is an abject

failure, the last three years, we've had a 10 million people over the border, costing us 400 billion a year to keep these people out. we close schools down to house these people. the people of new york, they put $53 million into credit cards to allow these folks to live for free while americans are going without. it's right is wrong and wrong is right and the blame, i think, needs to be, we call it the unity party, you can call it whatever but it's about bringing cheap labor into this country. somebody works on your roof and falls off, they will not sue you or go after you, they will go as they should, but you and i, well, you won't but i will, i will pick up the tab for that and that's what the folks that are pushing this that our national chambers of commerce, that's the one about the fingers in this power for a long time, they stopped any meaningful legislation that could do

something about this. on that point, you are talking about meaningful legislation, a bipartisan bill was agreed in the senate, republicans in the senate and democrats were happy with that bill and everything was fine a few days ago so, why now is everything not ok with that bill? well, the republican leader in the senate has pulled its support as did the republicans, it was an agreed, the only republican for it i know was the sponsor and it was created in a, you know, in a room, in a room with just the lobbyist and if you power ranking people and that generally is never a good idea. i think you ought to have everybody there and it's really just a case of portfolios over people and that's what this is all about, it's about money, as it always is, is not about doing what's right, it's about the big boys

are going to have free and cheap labour and shame on us for allowing that and also, one of the things that hurts me most as a human is the hundred thousand children that are being sold into who knows what, nobody knows where they are, these cartels are selling these children for the sex traffics and other things. there is a discussion to be had about the cartels indeed in south america. unfortunately, we are at a time at this point and i do want to thank you congressman forjoining us on bbc news, thank you very much for your time. it's been my pleasure, thank you so much. former president donald trump does not have presidential immunity and can be prosecuted on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. that's what a us court unanimously ruled on tuesday after mr trump claimed he was immune from criminal charges for acts he said fell within his duties as president. it's a setback for mr trump, but a win for special counsel jack smith, who charged the former president with conspiring to overturn president biden's victory in the 2020 election, and committing fraud to stay in office. the three—judge appeals

court panel wrote: adding that he has the same defenses that any other defendant would have. mr trump says that without the immunity, the presidency would lose its power and prestige. 0ur washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue has more. of all the cases donald trump is facing, this is the most serious one. it deals with those accusations that he tried to overturn the 2020 election. now, he argued that he had immunity from prosecution because these were acts he took as president. the court said that wasn't true and that he was now citizen trump, not president trump, and did not enjoy those kinds of immunities. now, donald trump's strategy has always been to try and delay these cases for as much as possible, and he will appeal to the supreme court. if he can delay things long enough so the trial doesn't take place until after november's election and he wins that election, he can make all of this just go away.

the problem for him is if the trial goes ahead before the election and he is convicted, there are large numbers of voters in key marginal states who are telling the pollsters they will not vote for a convicted felon. the timing and the outcome of this case is crucial not just to this election, but to the future of american politics. gary 0'donoghue there. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at an interesting story out of the uk. scientists discovered a unique species of flying reptile that lived i68—million years ago on the isle of skye. it's called a pterosaur, and its wings, shoulders, legs and backbone were found in a rock on a beach. it's the second time a pterosaur has been found on skye. liz martin—silverstone from the university of bristol was involved in identifying the creature.

today, we havejust named a new pterosaur which is a new flying reptiles was at the same time as a dinosaur and we've named a new species which we are really excited about. from the isle of skye. we've never it seen before. we didn't expect to necessarily find on skye. this group was mostly limited to china. this is roughly what the pterosaur is thought to have looked like. it likely had a wing—span of up to 1.5 meters. that's nearly five feet. you're live with bbc news. a mother in the us state of michigan has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after her teenage son carried out a deadly mass shooting at a school in 2021. jennifer crumbley�*s son was 15 years old at the time, killed four of his classmates, and injured seven others using a gun his parents

had bought for him. hana stjuliana, tate myre, madison baldwin, and justin shilling were killed that day. justin's father was present for the moment ms crumbley was found guilty. it's step to what were talking about and it's been our goal the whole time and it's not really about winning or losing, it's about making an apparent that murder is not in our society. live now to charlie langton, he's a legal analyst for fox 2 detroit. he's also an attorney and was in the courtroom for today's verdict. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. this is first time a parent has been convicted in relation to a school shooting carried out by their trials. talk to us about how the mother was held up and culpable for this charge of involuntary manslaughter?— this charge of involuntary manslau~hter? . ., manslaughter? the prosecutor had basically — manslaughter? the prosecutor had basically two _ manslaughter? the prosecutor had basically two theories, - had basically two theories, one, they had to show that the

mother was grossly negligent in doing certain acts and grossly negligent in not doing certain acts. i think what thejewry acts. i think what the jewry was hung acts. i think what thejewry was hung on acts. i think what the jewry was hung on was the mother was the last person to actually have a gun that was purchased for a 15—year—old, a 15—year—old that had obviously some mental illness that was not recognised by the mother. and the mother, although the father purchased the gun at the gun store, it was a mother took the kid to the gun range, it was the mother that bragged about the christmas present of this gun and really the mother was lackadaisical about getting any kind of counselling or treatment for his son. also, there was a meeting on the day of the shooting at the school, the school saw that the kid draw a picture of a gun on a maths assignment with blood everywhere and basically, the school said, we see a problem here, they call the parents in, the parents never told the school that they had just,

three days before, but this kid a gun. and to come to the gun reached the user. the juror really focused on that, the big picture is that for the first time that i know of this country anyway, we are holding parents responsible for criminal acts committed by their son. and that's a sending shockwaves about the responsibility. parents will have a look at text messages, what kind of videogames are watching and certainly, if they have some sense of mental illness, you don't buy them a gun and is parented. fin illness, you don't buy them a gun and is parented.- gun and is parented. on that broader point _ gun and is parented. on that broader point about - gun and is parented. on that broader point about parentalj broader point about parental responsibility, has the president been said here that they will now be other charges brought against parents or individuals who own a gun and thatis individuals who own a gun and that is given to a child? i individuals who own a gun and that is given to a child?- that is given to a child? i do, i do. i that is given to a child? i do, i do. i think _ that is given to a child? i do, i do. i think as _ that is given to a child? i do, i do. i think as a _ that is given to a child? i do, i do. i think as a president, l that is given to a child? i do, i do. i think as a president, i | i do. i think as a president, i think the father of this shooter will go on trial in about three weeks, first week orso about three weeks, first week or so in march so we will have

another trial on the father or after the conviction of the mother, the father may want to take a plea. i think the bigger picture is, yes, when kids and i say teenagers, under 18, certainly, they go and commit criminal acts, certainly, they go and commit criminalacts, i certainly, they go and commit criminal acts, i think the police and prosecutors are going to look, where is the parents you? and do they have enough evidence to show that these parents could have prevented, by doing simple things, these criminal acts, there was a charge of that shurey — minjary in this case and it didn't take them long, only a day and a half of liberation which is not a long time so thejewry liberation which is not a long time so the jewry was pretty unanimous and they came back rather quickly.— rather quickly. what sort of sentences _ rather quickly. what sort of sentences jennifer - rather quickly. what sort of| sentences jennifer crumbley rather quickly. what sort of. sentences jennifer crumbley is likely sentencesjennifer crumbley is likely to face now? aha, sentences jennifer crumbley is likely to face now? a guideline for this, she _ likely to face now? a guideline for this, she had _ likely to face now? a guideline for this, she had no _ likely to face now? a guideline for this, she had no prior- for this, she had no prior record but it is manslaughter, maximum of 15 years and resident guidelines around the area of four — seven years, others are guidelines of the

in senegal, three oppoisition politicians have been arrested following parliament's decision on monday to postpone the country's presidential election until december. most opposition mps had been forcibly removed from the chamber in the lead—up to the vote, after heated debates. the us state department has expressed concern over the detention of the opposition politicians. and the delay in the presidential election which has sparked widespread protests. the polls have just closed in nevada's presidential primary elections. presidentjoe biden's name is on the democrats' ballot. nevada state law mandates the holding of a primary election, but republicans decided to hold a caucus in the state as well, which will decide the awarding of the party's delegates. nikki haley is running in tuesday's primary and can win no delegates, and donald trump is running virtually unopposed in thursday's caucus to win all of the state's 26 delegates. argentina's parliament has handed a major blow to presidentjavier milei and his dramatic economic

reform plans. lawmakers rejected many of its provisions and sent the so—called omnibus law back to a legislative committee to be reworked. the bill would privatise state entities, scrap hundreds of regulatoins and reduce state subsities. mr milei says these are necessary to revive an ailing economy. chile's president has declared three days of national mourning to honor the late former president sebastian pinera. the 74—year—old died in a helciopter crash on tuesday. three other people on board survived. pinera served two terms as persident, with the second term ending in 2022. he received international attention during the spectacular rescue of 33 trapped miners in 2010. bbc mundo's cecilia barria has more. he was a businessman, he oversaw economic growth in its first period, first term and he saw 14 of unemployment for

hello there. the weather is changing, it's getting colder and that's going to bring the risk of some snow to some parts of the country. now, on tuesday, the temperatures were 14 degrees in surrey ahead of that weather front, which is taking rain down into the english channel. and following on from that, we've got the colder air moving down from the north. and we've seen some wintry showers falling in scotland. could well be a covering of snow in many places here, particularly in the northwest. but there's a danger there may well be some snow falling in the central belt of scotland early in the morning, too. now, increasingly, those wintry showers will become confined to northern scotland. the rest of scotland seeing sunny spells developing. so too northern ireland, and for much of england and wales, although in the south it still could be quite cloudy, still a bit of rain through the english channel not far away from the south coast of england. here, it's going to be colder than it was on tuesday, but it's going to be much less windy. typical temperatures are going to be six or seven degrees. so a chillier day. and into that colder air, that weather front that's in the channel is going to get swept northwards by this big

area of low pressure that's moving into the colder air. and that's going to give us the risk of some snow. and these are the temperatures we've got first thing on thursday morning. so, frosty start, particularly in scotland and northern parts of england. in the south, it's a little milder. we're going to have rain across southern parts of england and wales heading into the midlands, but as that weather moves northwards into that colder block of air, so we're going to find some sleet and snow falling as well. now, we still have this yellow warning out from the met 0ffice. the area has changed a bit, so we're seeing snow less likely in the midlands. there's snow extending into northern ireland. while there be some snow to low levels, it's mainly over the hills with significant falls over the higher hills, which will bring some disruption. we've still got that snow continuing into the evening across northern england, northern ireland and heading into southern most parts of scotland. another band of wet weather coming into the south of england before midnight. and low pressure is going to spin its way across the uk to end the week, and that's going to bring this mixture of rain, sleet and snow. but we never remove that block

of colder air in scotland. so we're going to find snow developing more widely away from the east coast. there'll be some more snow in the northern pennines for a while as well. cold easterly wind in scotland will keep temperatures four or five degrees at best. further south, it will be milder. we're more likely to have some rain, which could be on the heavy side.

the crisis at snap — shares in the social media firm are plunging in after—hours trading. we look into what's driving the sell—off. is canada losing its cool? why fewer permanent residents are applying for canadian citizenship, and some have even begun to leave the country. hello, and welcome to asia business report. we begin with snap because shares of the social media firm are down more than 30% in after—hours trading. the snapchat owner missed wall street estimates for quarterly revenue as it continues to struggle with competition from much larger rivals like meta and alphabet, which grab a much larger share of digital advertising. the disappointing earnings announcement comes a day after snap announced it would lay off 10% of its staff. the 528 employees whp were sacked join
