hello, and welcome. i'm samantha simmons. we start this hour with the latest on the israel—gaza war. the world health organization says the biggest hospital in southern gaza is now no longer functioning after a raid by israeli forces. the head of the who, dr tedros, said a team from the organisation had not been allowed to enter the nasser hospital in the city of khan younis to assess the condition of the 200 remaining patients. scores of patients remain inside the building, but there is said to be no power and not enough staff to look after them. the israeli military says it has killed about 20 hamas fighters and seized numerous weapons in the area of the hospital. meanwhile, israel has formally rejected what it called the "unilateral recognition"

of palestinian statehood. the rejection was approved unanimously in a cabinet vote put forward by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and the latest talks on a ceasefire between israel and hamas have been described as not very promising. qatar's prime minister, who made the comments, said, "time is not in ourfavour. "we made some progress in the last few weeks, yet the last few days have not been progressing as expected and i believe there are still differences in place." let's speak to the bbc�*s abdelbassir hassan, who is in cairo. welcome to you. thank you for being with us. what do we understand those main differences to be? yes. with us. what do we understand those main differences to be?— main differences to be? yes, so far we cannot — main differences to be? yes, so far we cannot confirm _ main differences to be? yes, so far we cannot confirm there _ main differences to be? yes, so far we cannot confirm there are - main differences to be? yes, so far we cannot confirm there are real i we cannot confirm there are real talks on the ground because there is no venue announced which could be hosting talks since the last round of talks five days ago, after the last round, the israeli delegation left. the qatari foreign minister left. the qatari foreign minister left. and a source in egypt said

they were going to continue the talks for three days. now three days have already passed and we are on the fifth day. note statement so far at least from cairo that there are at least from cairo that there are at the moment negotiations. remote coordination or remote communication between the key players and the key mediators. in light of the latest set of remarks by the different parties, we have learnt that benjamin netanyahu is still clinging to his position that what is offered by her mass is delusional and he will not accept nothing but complete victory or ultimate victory. this is the latest from his side. even if so far no comment remarks are made that reject any deals, the door is still open but these at least are the remarks coming out from israel from certain individuals, including the

prime minister. yesterday, her mass�*s top leader confirmed that all he can say is returned to earlier positions when he says they will not accept anything but full withdrawal of israel and full cessation of hostilities. these are now the conditions set by hamas earlier yesterday in light of the stalemate in the negotiation so far. and it is reported that an afp report quoted hamas officials warning that they could boycott the talks if food didn't go to the north of gaza because it says it is witnessing famine at the moment and people cannot leave there, people dying without food. from the qatari side yesterday, the prime minister and the foreign minister have said in munich that he is not optimistic at

the moment because there is no breakthrough, it is hard to decide what is coming because each party is sticking to its stances, and there is no flexibility from both sides. he said they should go to the negotiations without preconditions, however he said the door is still open. the egyptian foreign minister also commented that the door is still open, but he did not say exactly what is being done at present. exactly what is being done at resent. . ~' , ., exactly what is being done at resent. ., ~ , ., , . the conflict in gaza is one of the main topics at the munich security conference. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet is there for us and spoke to the prime minister of the palestinian authority about the situation on the ground. for us, revitalisation of the palestinian authority, it means one thing. it means allowing us to function. how can you function at a time when israel is deducting two

thirds of our revenues? how can you function at a time when you have 700 checkpoints? how can you function when you have 755,000 settlers, all of them with machine guns? how can you function when all the palestinian territories are reoccupied by the army, the israeli army, and settlers are incursion into cities, refugee camps and villages? so the issue of revitalisation of the palestinian authority is to create a conducive environment for us to function. this is the most important thing. otherwise, we will be in a difficult situation. many are saying the united states must do more to put pressure on its ally, israel, to bring the war to the end. do you think america is doing enough? no. i don't think that america is doing enough. i think america can do more, because it's very simple. you can exert every pressure by not giving aid, by not giving weapons and by exerting serious pressure. we know... do you think they

would ever do that? we know from james baker in 1991, when yitzhak shamir continued his settlement programme. james baker told him, if you continue to do so, we will deduct every money you spend from american aid to israel. we haven't heard this language from washington yet, and that is the language that israel understands. you cannot continue, you cannot say that we want israel to stop settlements. israel is not listening and you are not doing anything. so, therefore, quiet diplomacy is not enough. the united states has to make its voice loud and clear for the israelis to listen, and only the united states that can deliver, and the british government as well has a lot to say on this. and finally, many are leaving here saying that the gaps in the talks to bring about a truce, to lead to a ceasefire, the gaps are really, really wide.

they are very wide. we are trying to bridge the gaps. we have been talking to qatar, to egypt, with all other players. we need this situation to end. it's very catastrophic. but as i said, the ball is in the hands of the israelis and the ball is in the court of... and hamas. and hamas to a certain extent, i think it is israel who is occupying our territory and it is israel who should really make the statement to regenerate hope in the hearts and the minds of every palestinian people. what israel is doing now is the contrary, israel is now acting in the mood of revenge and israel acts as if they are a wounded bull. they want to kill whoever stands in front of them. that is not how you make peace. israel needs to move from a security approach to a political approach. the security approach has not been working. israel tried everything that has to do with security. now we need a serious paradigm shift in order for us to really end this conflict once and for all. they say they wouldn't have done the war if hamas hadn't attacked, if there hadn't been october the 7th. well, you know that the palestinian—israel conflict didn't start in october 7th. but what happened on october 7th changed israel. by all means, we understand that. but also, it did change the whole world. and now everybody feels

that there is a serious need to end this conflict. the palestinian authority prime minister there. here in the uk, it's been a tough week for both the opposition labour party and the conservative government. although labour had two by—election wins, with massive swings in the vote from the tories, there have been more accusations of anti—semitism as they were forced to withdraw support for the rochdale candidate. for the government, there was bad news as the uk was dragged into a recession. labour leader sir keir starmer has faced criticism over his stance on the israel—gaza war — in the last few hours he addressed members of the scottish labour conference, and called for a "ceasefire that lasts". what we want to see, a return of all the hostages taken on october the 7th, an end to the killing of innocent palestinians, a huge scaling up of humanitarian relief and an end to the fighting. notjust now... applause

an end to the fighting, notjust now, notjust for a pause, but permanently. fix, now, notjust for a pause, but permanently-— now, notjust fora pause, but ermanentl. �* . ., , permanently. a ceasefire that lasts, conference. — permanently. a ceasefire that lasts, conference, that _ permanently. a ceasefire that lasts, conference, that is _ permanently. a ceasefire that lasts, conference, that is what _ permanently. a ceasefire that lasts, conference, that is what must - permanently. a ceasefire that lasts, i conference, that is what must happen now. the fighting must stop now. applause to the war in ukraine. president biden has blamed russia's capture of a frontline town in eastern ukraine on the failure of us lawmakers to approve a huge package of military aid for kyiv. president biden spoke to ukraine's president zelensky after ukrainian forces pulled out of avdiivka. mr biden told him he was confident politicians in congress would approve the billions of dollars in additional war aid. president putin has congratulated the soldiers who captured the town. 0ur correspondent simon jones has this report. withdrawal. ukrainian soldiers forced to retreat from avdiivka, a key town in the east of ukraine.

although they're still fighting, a shortage of supplies and ammunition has been blamed for giving russia one of its biggest military victories for months. the white house is warning the stakes for ukraine and for the entire world remain high. president biden is calling on american politicians to pass the latest package of military aid for kyiv, which has been blocked by congress. look, the ukrainian people fought so bravely and heroically, they put so much on the line, and the idea that now, they're running out of ammunition, we walk away, i find it absurd, ifind it unethical, ifind itjust contrary to everything we are as a country. so i'm going to fight to get them the ammunition they need. the ukrainian president was in munich, where senior defence officials and world leaders have been gathering a week before the two—year anniversary of russia's

full—scale invasion of ukraine. president zelensky repeated his appeal for more weapons to avoid what he called a catastrophic situation in europe. translation: we are very much counting on this positive - decision of congress. for us, this package is vital. we're not considering alternatives today because we count on the united states as our strategic partner, and that it will remain a strategic partner. as russian flags are raised in the centre of avdiivka, president putin has congratulated the russian military on what he called an important victory. but the conflict goes on. to the west of the town, ukrainian troops have been digging trenches to reinforce their defensive lines. the sound of war is never far away. ukraine insists its people have the spirit to win but it knows it needs international help to force russia to retreat. simon jones, bbc news.

the war in ukraine is one of the main issues on the agenda of the munich security conference. president biden has renewed appeal to the us lawmakers to pass a military aid package for ukraine, after russian forces captured the town of avdiivka. our security correspondent frank gardner is in munich with more. good morning from the third and final day of racing absolutely crucial security conference, coming at a critical time for ukraine and for nato. g at a critical time for ukraine and for nato. �* ., ., , ., , ., for nato. a lot of questions about whether the _ for nato. a lot of questions about whether the west _ for nato. a lot of questions about whether the west can _ for nato. a lot of questions about whether the west can give - for nato. a lot of questions about | whether the west can give ukraine the support it needs in time to fend of advancing russian forces. with me here is us congressman heinz from connecticut. you a democrat, part of a big us delegation here. what is america's message to this conference. it america's message to this conference.— america's message to this conference. , . , conference. it is an interesting question- _ conference. it is an interesting question. the _ conference. it is an interesting question. the message - conference. it is an interesting question. the message from l conference. it is an interesting l question. the message from the

been detained following vigils. our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford has this report. ever since the death of alexei navalny, people have been leaving tributes. but in putin's russia, even laying flowers can be risky, when they're in memory of his biggest opponent. police have been clearing the streets, arresting hundreds across the country, preventing sorrow at navalny�*s death turning into mass protest. one memorial in moscow has now been fenced off. this is the russia that navalny and his supporters wanted to change. but he was locked up for that. he was then punished even further in his arctic prison, with weeks on end in solitary confinement. the cause of his sudden death is still unknown. his mother has not been given his body and his team accuse the authorities of hiding something.

with talk of additional international sanctions against russia, labour's shadow foreign secretary says it's also about enforcement. i remain concerned that the full implementation of the russia report following the interference in our elections and the work of our select committee, have not been fully implemented so, yes, i think there are gaps and if we are successful when the general election is held, i intend to plug those gaps. the last time navalny was seen alive, he was defiantly cheerful, appearing on video link from prison to a court hearing. but he had been poisoned three years ago with a nerve agent and when he returned to russia and was arrested, the risks were clear. that's true for others who have spoken out,

like vladimir kara—murza, also poisoned then arrested for condemning the war on ukraine. his wife says the death of navalny underlines the immense cost of dissent. i was horrified but not surprised. because the use of political assassination as a method of dealing with opponents has been there for, well, the entire rule of vladimir putin. in life, navalny was putin's loudest challenger. he said he was fighting for what he called the beautiful russia of the future. for his supporters, that is harder than ever to envisage now. sarah rainsford, bbc news. now it's time for a look at today's sport with gavin. england suffered a huge loss to india in the third test, as the hosts cruised to victory to lead 2—1 in the best of five series. resuming on 196—2, india's batters punished the english bowlers. yashasvijaiswal, who retured hurt on day three,

returned in stunning fashion, ending unbeaten on 214. he and sarfaraz khan put on 188 to take india to 430—4. they set england a total of 557, which they never even got close to and were bowled out for 122 to lose by a mammoth 434 runs. the fourth test in ranchi begins on friday. the first premier league game's under way — with brighton at bottom side sheffield united in sunday's early kick off. brighton looking to go 7th, above newcastle with a win. a point for sheffield united takes them off the foot of the table, but they've had mason holgate sent off with less than 15 minutes played. it is currently goalless in that match at the moment. later, manchester united are at kenilworth road against luton — who are a point above the relegation zone. united are looking to keep pace with the top four — after three league wins in a row. but their boss, erik ten hag,

isn't getting carried away. we're not in a position to underestimate any opponent, we have to play our best, because we are seeing their performances across the season very good, especially the last weeks. they are really improving, so i have a lot of respect for this team and we have to play our best football. in germany, the man some expect to replace jurgen klopp at liverpool next season, xabi alonso, has seen his bayer leverkusen side equal bayern munich's record of 32 games unbeaten after a 2—1win at heidenheim. alonso's side can break the record if they avoid defeat at home to mainz on friday. they were coming in great eight games without losing. to come here is never easy. you feel the intensity they have, the crowd, they push really hard, they deserve where they are in the table. but we have done quite well, we play with a lot of control, emotional and in the game, for sure,

the first goal was very important, but overall the performance was good, really happy, and we need to keep going. so bayern munich head to bochum — eight points now behind leverkusen, with thomas tuchel�*s side hoping to bounce back from their champions league defeat to lazio on wednesday. the roman club lost to bologna earlier — 2—1 . bologna on the hunt for a champions league place. later on, ac milan can go second if they beat monza, jumping abovejuventus, who drew on saturday. in la liga, real madrid in action against rayo vallecano —1—1. at golf�*s genesis open, despite a tricky third round, patrick cantlay is in a good position to take the win on his favourite course. rory mcilroy fell out of contention for the title after a disappointing opening round but has been moving in the right direction as the tournament has progressed. mcilroy followed up friday's 66 with a 2—under—par 69. we showed you will zalatoris's hole—in—one yesterday, and he built on that on saturday with a stunning six—under—par round of 65 to sit tied for second on 12—under. he and xander

schaufelle are just two shots behind cantlay, who saw his second round lead cut after he could only manage a one—under—par 70. and defending champion carlos alcaraz was knocked out of the semifinals of the argentina open by chile's nicolas jarry. jarry will face local favourite facundo diaz acosta after seeing off alcaraz in straight sets — the first time he has beaten the spaniard in three encounters. the defeat means that alcaraz, the world number two, remains without a title this season. brighton are now 1—0 up. that is all of the sport for us for now.

hello, we are live on the bafta red carpet. the baftas film in 2024 awards. we are going to be here for the next couple of hours, talking to all of the stars and bringing you all of the stars and bringing you all the latest from here. but before we do that, our culture editor, katie razzall, has been taking a look at this year's nominees. i don't know if we can be trusted. . .. ..with such a weapon. the film to beat. good evening. her brain and her body are not quite synchronised. the one coming up behind. the one that was snubbed. but who will triumph this year at the baftas? only an atomic—level upset will blow oppenheimer off course. christopher nolan's three—hour epic looks set to win him his first baftas for best director — he is also a favourite for best film and cillian murphy for leading actor, one of several

irish nominees. your sad face makes me discover angry feelings for you. in a very strong year forfemale roles, emma stone's performance in the fantastical frankenstein—style poor things, makes her the frontrunner for best actress. i am bella baxter. margot robbie is also in that race with her ken, ryan gosling, up for best supporting actor. hi, ken. hi, barbie. unlike the oscars, which ignored robbie's compelling performance in pink. at the baftas, barbie, a film that tapped into the zeitgeist, is the first billion dollar movie solely directed by a woman... so cool. ..isn't up for best film or best director. the only female director to make it onto that list isjustine triet for her dramatic french legal thriller, anatomy of a fall. its german star, sandra huller, has been nominated for two bafta acting awards. for this... stop. ..and the zone of interest, the chilling story of an auschwitz

commandant and his family. in german, but from the british directorjonathan glazer, the movie is in the running for film not in english and outstanding british film. also competing for best british movie, the haunting all of us strangers, and saltburn. and here he is. can the social media sensation walk away with the prize? we will know soon. katie razzall, bbc news. so that was a look at some of the key nominees for this afternoon's ceremony here at the royal festival hall in london. we are going to hopefully be talking to one of the nominees in a few moments. the rising star award is one of the unusual ones because it is not voted for by bafta members or by film critics or anybody, it is actually voted for by members of the public. so those are the ones that choose who are the five people who get to

win that award, and in the past it has brought us some incredible... like tom holland and so many more. from the film how to have six, which won one of the top awards at cands. it deals with issues of consent, issues about friendship. so that is one of the film is that people are very much going to be looking forward to at this afternoon's ceremony. i am just going to check how far away she is. i think she is about ten seconds away. mia mckenna bruce, live on bbc news. i havejust been talking all about you and your incredible career so far. you are up for a rising star. when you look at people who have gone before you and people who have gone before you and people on the list at the moment, how does that make you feel? it is how does that make you feel? it is 'ust a how does that make you feel? it is just a dream _ how does that make you feel? it 3 just a dream come true. i have obviously followed the baftas but rising star in particular over the years, so to now be in amongst it is just mind blowing to me. the
