hello, i'm tanya beckett. the world health organization says the biggest hospital in southern gaza is now no longerfunctioning, after a raid by israeli forces. the head of the who, 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 people 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. the conflict in gaza has been a key topic at the munich security conference. 0ur chief international correspondent, lyse doucet spoke to the prime minister of the palestinian authority, mohammad shtayyeh, 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. meanwhile, a row has erupted between israel and brazil after brazilian president lula da silva, accused israel of committing genocide in gaza, comparing its actions to hitler's campaign to exterminate jews during the second world war. he was speaking at the african union summit in addis ababa. translation: what is happening in the gaza strip with the palestinian people has no parallel with other historical moments. in fact, parallel with other historical moments. infact, it parallel with other historical moments. in fact, it only existed when hitler decided to kill the jews. his comments have sparked strong criticism from israel. benjamin netanyahu called them "shameful and grave" saying lula was "trivialising the holocaust" we can cross live tojerusalem and our correspondent paul adams: what more can you talus about the response to these comments? that was

response to these comments? that was re much response to these comments? that was pretty much it. — response to these comments? that was pretty much it. he _ response to these comments? that was pretty much it, he was _ response to these comments? that was pretty much it, he was clearly _ response to these comments? that was pretty much it, he was clearly very - pretty much it, he was clearly very offended. as were other israeli ministers. the brazilian ambassador is likely to be called into the foreign ministry to explain his president's actions both benjamin netanyahu said comparisons between israel and the nazis and plato was crossing a red line. —— hitler. and the israelis are clearly not in the mood to let these remarks pass. he is not alone in expressing concern about the israeli operation in gaza. he is not and of course this comes on the heels of a move by south africa to press the case at the international court ofjustice that israel is committing genocide in gaza. that is a case where the court

has given israel another ten days i think before it needs to respond to a series of provisional measures to prove that it is not committing those sorts of offences. you you have in south africa and brazil two influential members of the so—called brick school, including russia and china and india, who are essentially making a similar argument and that is a measure of the kind of international pressure and a pro pm thatis international pressure and a pro pm that is building up. for all israel's protest and revulsion at these remarks, these are clearly worrying signs. these remarks, these are clearly worrying signe— these remarks, these are clearly wor inuasins. �* ., ., worrying signs. ben'amin netanyahu soke in a worrying signs. ben'amin netanyahu spoke in a press — worrying signs. benjamin netanyahu spoke in a press conference - spoke in a press conference yesterday and reiterated as he saw it his case for the assault on rafah. however it appears preparations are being made in egypt to receive palestinians. this remains a — to receive palestinians. this remains a bit _ to receive palestinians. this remains a bit of _ to receive palestinians. this remains a bit of a _ to receive palestinians. try 3 remains a bit of a mystery because it is hard to see what else those

preparations can be for but egyptian officials including the foreign minister, who has spoken about this at the munich security conference, have been a little bitcoin. 0n the one hand they say this is not what they are doing but on the other hand, they are indicating that if there is a commodity area need, they will be there for any palestinians who need them. but what we're seeing i is a kind of provisional arrangement, an enclosure in the desert, right next to the rafah crossing, which the egyptians are preparing for the possible arrival of a significant number of palestinians in the event of an assault by israel on rafah but of course at the same time, the israelis are saying, we're not to force anyone to cross that border. israeli officials still say they are working on a plan to get that 1.3,

1.4 million civilians who are in rafah out of harms way ahead of any kind of offensive but there is no indication of what that plan will actually be and in the absence of a plan and with these constructions going on just across the border, plan and with these constructions going onjust across the border, of course palestinians are deeply apprehensive. course palestinians are deeply apprehensive-— course palestinians are deeply a- rehensive. ., ,, , . apprehensive. thank you very much indeed forjoining _ apprehensive. thank you very much indeed forjoining us _ apprehensive. thank you very much indeed forjoining us from _ indeed forjoining us from jerusalem. more than 400 people have been arrested across russia for laying tributes to alexei navalny, president putin's most prominent political opponent, who died suddenly in a jail in the arctic on friday. navalny�*s team believes the opposition leader was murdered but that's been rejected by russia's foreign ministry. his family has accused authorities of trying to cover their tracks by refusing to hand over his body. mr navalny�*s death has sparked international condemnation with memorials and vigils held in a number of countries. the us and british ambassadors to moscow have laid flowers too. 0ur 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, if you're doing it in memory of his biggest opponent. police have been clearing the streets, arresting this woman says navalny fought for russia to be free. they are strong words in a country that does this when people come to lay flowers. since navalny died, several hundred people have been arrested across the country. the kremlin does not want sorrow to lead into anger and into mass protest. in moscow, when memorial has now been fenced off, access restricted. and in saint petersburg, men clear away the flowers so the scale of support for navalny is not obvious. but each time there are more people and fresh

tributes. these are the last known images of navalny on a video link from prison to a court. his cheerfulness is an act of defiance in itself. he died the next day, we still don't know the cause. his mother travelled to the arctic region to get person's body and to find answers. so far, she has neither. navalny�*s team are accusing the authorities are hiding something. they have reason for suspicion, three years ago, the politician was poisoned with a nerve agent. the risks of returning to russia after that were always clear. that is 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. this evening, his wife posted a single image and the caption just says, i love you. let's get more now from sarah rainsford. the focus now is on the release of the body. it the focus now is on the release of the bod . , . , the focus now is on the release of the bod . , ., , ., ., the body. it is and there is no real information _ the body. it is and there is no real information about _ the body. it is and there is no real information about when _ the body. it is and there is no real information about when that - the body. it is and there is no real| information about when that might happen or under what exact circumstances. we are basically where we were at the beginning of this, which is when the prison service announced that alexei

navalny had died suddenly and that medics could not save him and then his mother went all the way up to the arctic to try and get his body to try and get answers and she got nowhere. that is why the team have been so strident in their comments, accusing the authorities are trying to hide something and they are extremely suspicious because this has happened in a way before, when he was poisoned in 2020 and his supporters, family and wife were desperately trying to get him out of the country for treatment and that was blocked all the time. they were not allowed access to him in hospital after he was poisoned. they were all sorts of impediments at that time. they are extreme suspicious and wary of the authorities and they want to have access to the body. they will presumably want to do their own of topsy. they will certainly want to examine for themselves exactly why he died so suddenly when he was just 47 years old. i he died so suddenly when he was 'ust 47 years old.— 47 years old. i notice also in your re rort, 47 years old. i notice also in your report. you _ 47 years old. i notice also in your report. you said _ 47 years old. i notice also in your

report, you said that _ 47 years old. i notice also in your report, you said that officials, . report, you said that officials, police, were removing flowers that were laid at memorials to navalny. presumably the fear of the kremlin is that any protest now, any memorial, would somehow gain momentum. i memorial, would somehow gain momentum-— memorial, would somehow gain momentum. , , ., , momentum. i think so, yes. that is alwa s momentum. i think so, yes. that is always what — momentum. i think so, yes. that is always what they _ momentum. i think so, yes. that is always what they were _ momentum. i think so, yes. that is always what they were worried - momentum. i think so, yes. that is. always what they were worried about with alexei navalny when he was alive and that is rightly why he was in prison because he did have a unique capacity in russia today to rally support and bring people out on the streets. i am talking about a time before the war in ukraine where even though descent was stifled, there was still protests on the streets. when they ward in ukraine began, the —— that stop because the law became even tighter. but certainly, alex's navalny while he was still in russia and whilst he was still in russia and whilst he was alive was able to rally crowds. now death, i think what the authorities are worried about is he will become a martyr figure and he could bring crowds onto the streets. but what we have seen this although

people are coming out and laying flowers, it is a silent and quiet act of protest. i think the authorities have succeeded pretty well in spreading fear and that is why we are not seeing huge gatherings of people in active protests, angry protest, it is very quiet, really more of an act of respect and almost despair. and respect and almost despair. and there has been _ respect and almost despair. and there has been condemnation surrounding his death and accusations made against president putin. he meanwhile seems almost unconcerned. he putin. he meanwhile seems almost unconcerned-— unconcerned. he is certainly silent. he has said — unconcerned. he is certainly silent. he has said nothing. _ unconcerned. he is certainly silent. he has said nothing. remember, i unconcerned. he is certainly silent. - he has said nothing. remember, when navalny was alive, he never added his name. the name navalny did not pass his lips. he tried to pretend he did not exist, as if that was somehow going to reduce his significance in the country. it was also an act of disdain i think for alexei navalny as a politician but that did not stop his supporters flocking to him. he was very

charismatic, alex's navalny, he had a unique pull with people because of the way he used social media and the because he campaigned on, against corruption. the exposed core option at the highest level of the russian political class and used social media to reach wider audiences and thatis media to reach wider audiences and that is why the kremlin was so wary of him. a 42—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the deaths of three children in bristol. police say they made a welfare check at blaise walk in sea mills overnight on sunday. officers believe it was an isolated incident with no further risk to the wider community. with more on this, our correspondent, sean dilleyjoins me from the newsroom. what we know so far? a very sad sto and what we know so far? a very sad story and whenever _ what we know so far? a very sad story and whenever you - what we know so far? a very sad story and whenever you hear- what we know so far? a very sad story and whenever you hear of. what we know so far? a very sad - story and whenever you hear of these things, you can only imagine what it is like for those first responders

who go into properties such as that picture behind me but actually, when these things happen, there is a very well rehearsed plan, officers responding to a concern for welfare call in bristol. as we can see on the bbc news website, we are updating reformation, the pictures we see a fairly typical. what happens is officers preserve the scene because the scene because they need to know what happened to the police officers entered the property and found the three children and they were pronounced dead shortly after at the scene and a 42—year—old woman at this time is in police custody in hospital.— woman at this time is in police custody in hospital. what happens next? the next _ custody in hospital. what happens next? the next thing _ custody in hospital. what happens next? the next thing is _ custody in hospital. what happens next? the next thing is that - custody in hospital. what happens next? the next thing is that the i next? the next thing is that the arrested person _ next? the next thing is that the arrested person has _ next? the next thing is that the arrested person has rights - next? the next thing is that the | arrested person has rights while they are in custody, whatever the circumstances are. there is

legislation, nobody needs to worry too much about the detail of that, ultimately she will have the right to free and independent legal advice while in custody. we have to remember that an arrest is an investigative step, so police need to find out what happened exactly. we should not read anything into the fact that someone has been arrested at this point. detectives are going to look to work with the arrested woman and look at what other evidence exists. i am sure they already would have done, it would be routine to knock on doors and ask for cctv and what contact was hard. what will happen next is that avon and somerset police has referred itself to the watchdog, they are not release offices, but they have full police powers when investigating matters, and the reason that this referral has been made by the police is there has been previous contact with police we don't know the nature of that. what we can tell you is that more information is being

populated on the bbc website. we will bring you what we have when we have it. 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 avdiivkar. 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. our correspondent simon jones has this report. withdrawal. ukrainian soldiers forced to retreat from avdiivka, a key town in the east of ukraine. although they are 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 and 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 are 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. let's go back to that row between israel and brazil after president lula da silva, accused israel of committing genocide in gaza, comparing

its actions to hitler's campaign to exterminate jews during the second world war. in the last few minutes we've heard a response from israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he says the israel defense force is going to lengths to prevent civilian deaths and dismissed world leaders accusing them of genocide. today, the president of brazil by comparing israel's war in gaza against hamas, a genocidal terrorist organisation, to the holocaust, he has disgraced the memory of 6 millionjews murdered by the nazis and he has demonised thejewish state like the most virulent anti—semite, you should be ashamed of himself. it is british cinema's biggest night — the baftas are taking place in london. plenty of big names have been on the red carpet.

historical biopic oppenheimer leads the way with 13 nominations — as our culture editor, katie razzall, reports. 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. so 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, 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 bya woman... so cool. ..isn't up for best film or best director. the only female director to make it onto that list is justine triet for her dramatic french legal thriller, anatomy of a fall. it's 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'll know soon. katie razzall, bbc news. for viewers in the uk, if you want to watch the baftas ceremony, presented by david tennant, you can see it on bbc one or the bbc iplayer. the programme starts at 7pm. to japan where a thousand year old ritual has taken place for the last time ever. hundreds of men in white loincloths head to a mountainous temple in a cedar forest to take part in the "sominsai" festival, regarded as one of the strangest injapan. the men bathe in a creek and then march around the temple's ground chanting "evil be gone". organising the event has become a burden for the ageing local faithful who find it hard to keep up with the rigours of the ritual, so it was the final festival on saturday. stay with us here on bbc news.
