and republican rivals for president, donald trump and nikki haley, hit the campaign trail in south carolina, two weeks out from the state's critical primary. hello, i'm carl nasman. we begin in gaza, where the humanitarian crisis is deepening. residents tell the bbc they are surviving on animal feed and rice as food stocks dwindle. the un says 300,000 people living in the isolated north of gaza are largely cut off from aid. more than half the aid missions to northern gaza were denied access last month. that's according to the un's humanitarian coordination agency. mahmoud shalabi from medical aid for palestinians says — the situation there is dire. when it comes to the flour, people are actually using animal feed. however, even the animal feed

is starting to get scarce in the market and people are not finding it. when it comes to canned food, there is nothing left in the market, literally. and what we had was actually from the six to seven days of truce that we had at the beginning of this war. and whatever aid was allowed into gaza and in the north of gaza has actually been consumed by now. the israeli military says it does not limit humanitarian aid sent to gaza, and that there is no starvation there. the bbc has been speaking to eylon levy, an israeli government spokesman. israel wants to see as much humanitarian aid enter the gaza strip as possible. that's why we have excess capacity at the israeli crossings for more trucks of food, water, medicine and shelter equipment to enter the gaza strip. we encourage countries to send more. unfortunately we have a problem at the moment that the un agencies on the ground responsible for disputing that aid are struggling to do

so at the pace that israel is facilitating its entry. that's why, for example one crossing is closed we are calling for the international community to activate aid agencies that have responsibility and experience distributing aid in other disaster zones to replace unrwa, because unrwa has failed and it is a hamas front. children are among the most vulnerable victims of hunger in gaza. (mixed gfx the un warns that acute malnutrition among young children in the north is rising, and is now above the critical threshold of 15 percent. unicef says children in gaza are in desperate need of �*life—saving support.�* half of the estimated 1.7 million people displaced in gaza are children. gaza's hamas—run health ministry says 28 thousand people have died in the israel—gaza war, many of them women and children. one of them is hind rajab — a six—year—old girl who went missing 12 days ago in gaza city after the car she was in came under fire.

she was found dead, along with several relatives and two paramedics who tried to save her. 0ur middle east correspondent lucy williamson sent this report, which contains distressing material. today, it was hope that died — long after six—year—old hind was killed. she survived the gunfire that killed her uncle, aunt and cousins as they fled gaza city in the family car. her calls with the emergency services as she hid among the bodies of her relatives in sight of israeli tanks sparked a campaign to find her. today, as israeli forces withdrew from the area, paramedics went in. they found hind's body with those of her relatives in the shattered car. her mother has been waiting for her daughter at a nearby hospital for almost two weeks.

translation: for every i person who heard my voice, my daughter's pleading voice, yet did not rescue her, i will question them before god on the day ofjudgment. netanyahu, biden, and all those who collaborated against us, against gaza and its people, i pray against them from the depth of my heart. near where hind was found, the ambulance car that was sent to get her — the bodies of its two crew members inside. they were deliberately targeted, although our ambulance have very clearly the red crescent emblem on top of our ambulances and we had it clearly also on all they were deliberately targeted, although our ambulance have very clearly the red crescent emblem on top of our ambulances and we had it clearly also on all sides of the ambulance. we asked the israeli army about this but received no response. residents re—emerging in gaza city

after troops had left found a cratered wasteland. witnesses said dozens of bodies were collected from its streets and buildings today. in the southern border town of rafah, they fear they might be next. the bombing here has been getting more intense. three members of hamas security forces were killedin a strike on their car. and funerals were held for seven adults and five children, killed in overnight air strikes on their homes. this town, the final refuge for gaza's civilians, the final target in israel's ground war. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. to pakistan now, where the army

chief has called for unity — after two former prime ministers claimed victory in thursday's parliamentary election. the final results still haven't been announced. candidates backed byjailed pti party leader imran khan appear to have won the most seats. the party is now trying to form a government after falling short of a majority. mr khan's party was barred from running by the electoral commission, forcing its candidates to run as independents. the party says it will hold peaceful protests on sunday, if complete results haven't been released. the rival pakistan muslim league — led by nawaz sharif — has also claimed victory and says it has begun talks with others about forming a unity government. from lahore, our pakistan correspondent caroline davies has more. the final results in pakistan's general election are now starting to come in. and it seems pretty clear that imran khan's backed candidates are in the lead, followed by mr nawaz sharif�*s party's, the pmln's, candidates. they have the second largest number of seats. it is not clear at the moment who is going to form a government,

but we are starting to see international reaction about this vote. we have heard from the eu who have said they note a lack of a level playing field. from the us, who said there were undue restrictions and from the uk who expressed concerns about the fairness of this election. today, we have now heard from the foreign office here in pakistan. they have said they are surprised by the negative tone of some of these international statements, which would neither take into account the complexity of the electioral process, they say, nor acknowledge the free and enthusiastic exercise of the right to vote by tens of millions of pakistanis. that is quite a firm push back against some of these comments that we have started to hear internationally as well. we have also heard from the chief of the army staff here in pakistan. the army is an incredibly powerful and politically powerful organisation here in pakistan. the army chief has said that pakistan's diverse pluralism will be well represented by unified government of all democratic forces. now, that suggests that he is

encouraging there to be some form of coalition government that will happen here in pakistan. we understand that there will be a lot of negotiations that will be going on behind the scenes, but, at the moment, it still not clear who will be governing the country. iraq's foreign minister has told the bbc there is a danger his country could be pushed into conflict because of the latest deadly tit—for—tat attacks by iranian—backed militias and us forces. in the past week, the united states has carried out a series of air raids, killing 17 iranian—backed militia—men in iraq. a us drone strike in the capital baghdad killed a senior commander. dr fuad hussein spoke to our senior international correspondent, 0rla guerin, and told her he hopes both sides will stop their attacks and leave iraq to be ruled by iraqis. from the government point of view, from the point of view of the iraqi government, do you want the us troops out? we want to have to start the negotiation.

0n the basis of the negotiation it will be decided. of course, the end of the negotiation must be clear. the majority of the iraqi people, they do not want to have foreign forces on iraqi soil. but is it iraqi government policy now that the troops should go and it is just a question of when? the troops one day must leave. this country, at the end, must be free from having foreign bases. some has been invited, and that is for the american side. some has not been invited. going back to the issue of the us strikes that happened, the americans say they were targeting iraqi militia that are pro iranian, that are on your soil, and from your soil, they are carrying out attacks on us forces. do you accept that there are militias here that

are officially part of your security forces, but in fact are armed and trained by iran, that are carrying out these attacks? those militias, they themselves they are announcing their attacks, and they are also well—known, that they are, or they have connection with the iranian side. this is well—known, i cannot deny it. that's true. as we sit here now, minister, is it the case that your government does not have control over these pro iranian militias, that they are doing their own thing and you cannot stop them? i think if now they see, they will talk with many political leaders. they started to talk about this. many people, they didn't dare to talk about. this is also a part of the reality in this country, but now we are talking about it, and we are saying to them, stop. people dare to say to those

guys, it is enough. i think all of them, they got the message that if they will continue, they will, in the first place, destroy their political process in iraq, and they will push this country into a war, while it is not our war, and also the iranians got that message. how real is that danger that this tit—for—tat between the americans and iranians on iraqi soil could push this country into conflict? that is main problem, to be honest. the tension nowadays between iran and united states is very high. so i hope both sides will stop their attacks on iraqi soil, and they are not going to solve their problem on iraqi soil. we paid a very big price.

it's no secret that the iranian influence here has been growing for years, and many outsiders would say at this point tehran is dictating more of the policies here than baghdad. what would you say to that? no, i'd deny that, this is not true. no influence? no, no, iam not saying no influence, but dictating policy in baghdad is not true. are you worried about the degree of iranian influence here? i am worried about the degree of all influence surrounding us, not only iranian. iraqis must taking the decision. the decision about iraq must be taken in baghdad, and it must be taken by the iraqis in baghdad. turning to the 2024 us presidential race, where former president donald trump has started to campaign in south carolina. the state will hold its republican primary on february 24th. south carolina is home to former governor nikki haley, trump's last main challenger

for the republican presidential nomination. haley is trying to restore momentum to her campaign after only receiving 30% of the vote in nevada's primary. 63% of the vote there was for none of the above, written in by tens of thousands of trump supporters. with trump seemngly destined for the republican nomination — despite his many legal issues — the contest in south carolina is considered by some to be haley's last chance to turn her campaign around. a few hours ago she took aim not only at mr trump, but us presidentjoe biden. we had enough chaos with donald trump, we have had enough, if you have these cases now, they are saying biden, he doesn't know any better, you can't hold him accountable for having these national—security papers that he wasn't supposed to have. find national-security papers that he wasn't supposed to have. and now donald trump _ wasn't supposed to have. and now donald trump is _ wasn't supposed to have. and now donald trump is like, _ wasn't supposed to have. and now donald trump is like, well - wasn't supposed to have. and now donald trump is like, well if - wasn't supposed to have. and now donald trump is like, well if you . donald trump is like, well if you did it for him, you've got to do it

for me. what bothers me about that, both of those menu better. live now to republican strategistjeanette hoffman. thank you so much for being here to break it all down for us. it is topwith haley's strategy in south carolina, and also previous states, you have seen her linking donald trump and joe biden, specifically talking about their age, and she will be driving a billboard around a billboard. what you make of her strategy? she billboard. what you make of her strate: ? ,, , ., , ., strategy? she trying her hardest to basically combine _ strategy? she trying her hardest to basically combine them _ strategy? she trying her hardest to basically combine them into - strategy? she trying her hardest to basically combine them into one i basically combine them into one person, joe biden and donald trump, they are true 80 something year old men with memory lapses, not fit to be president, i think she even has a commercial calling them grumpy old men. she refers back to donald trump

of my previous speeches were he confused her with nancy pelosi. especially the damning report that came from the justice department which says joe came from thejustice department which sastoe biden is not fit to stand trial in the case and former donald trump president will also plead that. not only is she trying donald trump tojoe biden in his memory and age issues, but she is also tying him to president trump with the former classified documents. she is saying they have had enough chaos withjoe biden and donald trump and —— points out that 50% of voters do not want a trump biden rematch, so that is her strategy going into south carolina, higher home state. on super tuesday, the river —— the majority of delegates will be avoided and that is important point. [30 delegates will be avoided and that is important point.— is important point. do you think donald trump _

is important point. do you think donald trump is _ is important point. do you think donald trump is being - is important point. do you think donald trump is being held - donald trump is being held potentially to a different standard, when it comes to things like age or issues with mental capacity? we have seen this flurry of attention being put on the current president but we have also seen similar gaffes by donald trump, he is also up there in age, 77, not far behind joe biden, biden seen that he has got the same amount of criticism from the media or from voters. amount of criticism from the media or from voters-_ or from voters. donald trump has alwa s or from voters. donald trump has always been _ or from voters. donald trump has always been held _ or from voters. donald trump has always been held to _ or from voters. donald trump has always been held to a _ or from voters. donald trump has always been held to a different i always been held to a different standard, as a candidate, and i think it is because he came into this not as a politician but as a celebrity. he often says things that are completely off the wall and doesn't get held to account, whereas nikki haley will get brought up on things she has said, talk about the civil war saying that because was not slavery. donald trump says things like that all the time and doesn't get called into question. and he is a similar age asjoe biden

but his mentalfitness isn't and he is a similar age asjoe biden but his mental fitness isn't called into account as much as biden. but he does seem to have a lot more energy and enthusiasm and he is on the campaign traila energy and enthusiasm and he is on the campaign trail a lot more than president biden so that seems to make a little bit more sense to me, but nikki haley i think is pursuing a good strategy of trying to tie them both into, do you really want this country run by an 80—year—old man? this country run by an 80-year-old man? �* , , ., this country run by an 80-year-old man? �* , ,, ., this country run by an 80-year-old man? �* , ., man? and yet you look at the polling numbers and — man? and yet you look at the polling numbers and this _ man? and yet you look at the polling numbers and this is _ man? and yet you look at the polling numbers and this is her _ man? and yet you look at the polling numbers and this is her home - man? and yet you look at the polling numbers and this is her home state | numbers and this is her home state in south carolina, trained by about 30 points. what she have to do to try and close the gap and is it too big of a gap to even close? it looks, listen, it is going to be an uphill battle for her, make no mistake, just as it has been in all the previous primaries, but what her team is planning on is the fact that south carolina, just like michigan a couple of days later, is an open primary, and that means it is not just republicans who can vote in the primary, it is independents and democrats, so that it is a strategy

here. and just like you need independence to come out in a general election, she is going to need independent to come out for her in the open primaries and in the super tuesday states, two thirds of those states, of the 15, they are open primaries as well, so she really needs to get independent ones who support her to come out and vote for her if she has any chance of getting to even be close to the delegate count that donald trump has, and he has 67 delegates to maybe her 1233 going to be an uphill battle for her but she is going to try and aim her messaging as we need to win in november, we need to change, we count on our country being run by 80—year—old men who are unfit to run this country. at, unfit to run this country. a critical state for nikki haley and super tuesday right behind, thank you, jeanette hoffman, republican strategist. we're about 2k hours from super bowl kick—off —

and beyond the weekend, it's a fairly mixed picture into next week, with low pressure systems tending to dominate. and after monday, temperatures actually tending to climb. but let's look at all of that in detail. first of all, through the overnight period, we can see we've got fairly wet weather towards parts of eastern england, in towards eastern scotland. elsewhere, a little bit drier with some clear skies. where it's clear we could see some mist and fog. and still a number of showers pushing in towards the west and the south. that wet weather, though, across parts of the north—east of england, into north—eastern scotland, with us first thing on sunday and tracking its way northwards into the northern isles. elsewhere, though, sunday is an improving picture with some decent spells of sunshine and also a few showers coming in on a westerly wind. so by mid—afternoon, much of that heavy rain has cleared. although lingering across parts of the north—east of aberdeenshire and in towards the northern isles. elsewhere, though, avoid the showers and you will see some sunshine and temperatures up to around 10 or 11 degrees. and then through sunday evening and sunday night, we start to see largely dry and clear conditions, and that means it will be colder than overnight saturday into sunday. so this is tomorrow night, sunday night.

you can see temperatures there in towns and cities but across parts of northern england and scotland, a touch of frost in the countryside. to monday, low pressure situated to the north—west, and we are dragging in some rather cool air from the north—west. so showers pushing in through parts of scotland, could well be wintry on higher ground, a number of showers in towards northern ireland as well. but elsewhere for much of england and wales, it's a dry and a fine day. it will be a chilly start, mind, a touch of frost here and there, but by the afternoon, temperatures up to 9 or 10 celsius. cooler further north. and then from tuesday onwards we start to see a shift, because the wind is changing direction to more of a south—westerly, so we are dragging in cloudier skies and some outbreaks of rain, but the temperatures will be on the rise. on tuesday it should still be largely dry and sunny across scotland, some showers in the north, but the general trend from tuesday onwards is for cloudier conditions with outbreaks of rain. but you can see on the outlook there, the temperatures will begin to climb and certainly for some reaching the low to mid—teens. that's the forecast for now.

we'll have the headlines for you here on bbc news after this programme. hello, everybody.

a very warm welcome to talking business weekly with me, aaron hazelhurst. let's take a look at what's on the show. keeping control of the computers. europe, it gets behind new rules on artificial intelligence. the european union is trying to lead the world. but will its new laws get the balance right between keeping us safe and allowing businesses to make money from this fast developing technology? i'm going to be discussing all of that with these two. there they are, one of the top tech thinkers from the consultancy giant ernst and young. she tells me that companies are already worried that different parts of the world will have different rules. and the big boss of digital europe, whose members include the biggest names in tech such as amazon, google and microsoft. she helped draft the new rules, and she's going to tell me how she thinks europe can catch up with america on al. and to top it all off, joining me on the show is the woman

behind it all. she's been called the world's most powerful regulator,
