the us has called for a temporary cease—fire in gaza. the british foreign secretary the british foreign secretary says it should happen right now. should happen right now. are things shifting? we'll speak live to our correspondents in new york and in jerusalem. (biv)also tonight rishi sunak tells also tonight, rishi sunak tells farmers he has their back. a £200m package for new technology and productivity, julian assange fighting extradition from britain to the united states, we will hear from his brother who has flown in for the appeal. (take sting) good evening, the us has today rejected an algeria proposal at the un security council that called for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. of the 15 members of the security council, 13 voted in favour.

the usa voted against, the uk abstained. but the american team are circulating an alternative resolution which calls for a six—week temporary ceasefire in return for a phased release of all the hostages. the us draft also reiterates president biden�*s position, that an imminent israeli ground offensive in the southern city of rafah would be disastrous. here's washington's ambassador to the un, linda thomas—greenfield. demanding an immediate, unconditional cease—fire without an agreement requiring hamas to release the hostages will not bring about a durable peace. instead, it could extend the fighting. the hardening of the american position, reflects some of the same political maneuvering here in the uk. today, the prince of wales ventured his opinion. there was reference to the word ceasefire.

but at a meeting with aid workers involved in the humanitarian effort, he said he wanted to see an end to the fighting as soon as possible. the key line that "too many have been killed". it should be said that prince william is not deviating from uk government policy. in fact, number ten said it is now important that we speak with one voice as a nation. but are we? tomorrow, the snp have laid a motion before the commons calling for an immediate ceasefire. mps will get to vote on that — and on the wording of a labour amendment — which also calls for an immediate ceasefire, but with qualifications. and the foreign secretary david cameron who has been visiting the falkland islands today struck a similar tone. we are calling for a stop in the fighting — we are calling for a stop in the fighting right now. we think that what _ fighting right now. we think that what we — fighting right now. we think that what we need is a pause in the fighting — what we need is a pause in the fighting and the hostages to come out and _ fighting and the hostages to come out and aid to go in. i should have been _ out and aid to go in. i should have been straight away. but we need to do is to— been straight away. but we need to do is to turn— been straight away. but we need to do is to turn that pause into a permanent sustainable cease—fire. things— permanent sustainable cease—fire. things witi— permanent sustainable cease—fire. things will have to happen in order

behind—the—scenes? i you see about the relation of behind-the-scenes?- you see about the relation of behind-the-scenes? i think it tells us two things. _ behind-the-scenes? i think it tells us two things, christian. _ behind-the-scenes? i think it tells us two things, christian. first - behind-the-scenes? i think it tells us two things, christian. first off, | us two things, christian. first off, the united states has been under intense pressure to use as leverage. part of that leverage is in the security council, where holds its veto and has been exercising it to shield israel. the united states has said look, despite some criticism that this proposed alternative resolution is just a cover for israel or a distraction, actually they are very concerned about the fate of civilians in rafah. 1.5 million civilians there. i think it is very much a public expression from the united states of its position and where it differs from israel — perhaps even expressing frustration with its allies it ignores. the united states is trying to accomplish that, but i think nevertheless, what we've seen today from other members isjust not buying into this as much as the

united states would like. them underscoring they would —— there was overwhelming consensus for a cease—fire and that would jeopardise the talks the us is engaging in right now. if anything, it would help bolster that. just right now. if anything, it would help bolster that.— help bolster that. just on that oint, help bolster that. just on that point. are _ help bolster that. just on that point. are you _ help bolster that. just on that point, are you saying - help bolster that. just on that point, are you saying that - help bolster that. just on that - point, are you saying that everybody within the security council would support this amendment because they want to go further?— want to go further? we've already heard from _ want to go further? we've already heard from russia _ want to go further? we've already heard from russia and _ want to go further? we've already heard from russia and china. - want to go further? we've already heard from russia and china. of l heard from russia and china. of course, no strangers to divisions with the united states. china said the us position is untenable, not calling for a cease—fire, it's essentially a green light to continue the slaughter in gaza and that it continue the slaughter in gaza and thatitis continue the slaughter in gaza and that it is destabilising the middle east. and the only way to get the middle east back under control is to have the issue in gaza settled. russia as well said that the united states is just doing this again to prevent the international community from getting a cease—fire. even if

the united states has support from other council members, we could likely see a veto from russia and china if and when this becomes a vote. ., �* china if and when this becomes a vote. . �* ., , j vote. paul, i'm not sure they're really changing _ vote. paul, i'm not sure they're really changing fundamentally l really changing fundamentally anything they said up until now, the americans. what's been the response from the israeli side?— from the israeli side? there's a chan . e from the israeli side? there's a change in _ from the israeli side? there's a change in the — from the israeli side? there's a change in the sense _ from the israeli side? there's a change in the sense that - from the israeli side? there's a change in the sense that this i from the israeli side? there's a change in the sense that this is| from the israeli side? there's a - change in the sense that this is now tanguage _ change in the sense that this is now language that the us is proposing to put language that the us is proposing to out to— language that the us is proposing to out to the _ language that the us is proposing to put to the security council. so, it takes _ put to the security council. so, it takes it _ put to the security council. so, it takes it beyond the white house, and now to _ takes it beyond the white house, and now to the _ takes it beyond the white house, and now to the security council. there is a key— now to the security council. there is a key phrase in this draught text — is a key phrase in this draught text "as _ is a key phrase in this draught text.

140 days now, months, the us bit by bit getting tougher in his language. but whether that will lead to any actual changes on the ground, christian, it'sjust unclear. just actual changes on the ground, christian, it'sjust unclear. christian, it's 'ust unclear. just a final word — christian, it'sjust unclear. just a final word from _ christian, it'sjust unclear. just a final word from you, _ christian, it'sjust unclear. just a final word from you, paul. - christian, it'sjust unclear. just a final word from you, paul. the i final word from you, paul. the nasser hospital — i know you've been reporting. there have been two operations to try to pull out people who were in the hospital. what's the situation tonight? just who were in the hospital. what's the situation tonight?— situation tonight? just a quick word on american _ situation tonight? just a quick word on american pressure. _ situation tonight? just a quick word on american pressure. i— situation tonight? just a quick word on american pressure. i was - situation tonight? just a quick word on american pressure. i was here l situation tonight? just a quick word | on american pressure. i was here in 1991, _ on american pressure. i was here in 1991, the _ on american pressure. i was here in 1991, the tast— on american pressure. i was here in 1991, the last time the united states— 1991, the last time the united states applied financial pressure on the government of israel to achieve what the _ the government of israel to achieve what the us was after. it's been a very tong — what the us was after. it's been a very long time since that particular tool very long time since that particular toot was _ very long time since that particular tool was deployed. don't expect to see that _ tool was deployed. don't expect to see that in — tool was deployed. don't expect to see that in time soon. as far as nasser— see that in time soon. as far as nasser hospital, who has run two, possibly— nasser hospital, who has run two, possibly three recovering missions. extracting — possibly three recovering missions.

become difficult behind closed doors. hostages require a very large military posture. it's notjust something we can do it a pinpoint range. from a practical standpoint, that puts tremendous pressure internally on israel and any government and his military campaign. government and his military campaign-— government and his military camaiun. . , ., , government and his military camaiun. ., , . , campaign. adam clemens, really good to net our campaign. adam clemens, really good to get your thoughts _ campaign. adam clemens, really good to get your thoughts this _ campaign. adam clemens, really good to get your thoughts this evening. - to get your thoughts this evening. you very much indeed.— to get your thoughts this evening. you very much indeed. thank you for havin: you very much indeed. thank you for having me- — around the world and across the uk. you're watching bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the chief inspector of borders and immigration, david neal, has been sacked. a home office statement said he had breached the terms of his appointment. he'd been quoted in a publication saying the uk border force failed to check the occupants of hundreds of private jets arriving last year. mr neal's contract had been due to expire next month. the sentence of the man found guilty of stabbing three people to death in nottingham last year is to be reviewed. valdo calocane was given an indefinite hospital order

on the basis of diminished responsibility. the attorney general, victoria prentis, said the sentence was "unduly lenient". relatives of the victims have welcomed the announcement. the national trust is reopening the farne islands, off the northumberland coast, to visitors for the first time in two years. the bird sactuary is home to about 200,000 seabirds, including puffins and arctic terns. it had been closed because of an outbreak of avian flu. but the visitors will soon return. you're live with bbc news. all across europe and beyond the farmers are out in protest. today, it was poland, a nationwide protest against cheap ukrainian grain flooding the market and eu regulations on the use of pesticides and fertiliser. in spain, they've been at it for two weeks, blocking highways and major ports over prices and unfair competition. in greece, the farmers who've been

hit by flooding and wildfires, are no facing higher energy bills and rising costs. and in india, thousands of farmers are on a march towards delhi, demanding a guaranteed minimum for 23 crops. the proximate causes for the widscale farmers' revolts are different and unique each country, but a common sense of grievance united them. the farmers say their livelihoods are being sacrificed on the altars of free trade and climate change. from poland, here's adam easton. in europe, they are saying that proposals to cut these pesticides and fertilisers will be even more damaging to them, but particularly in parliament, it's because of this cheap ukrainian grain which has flooded the polish market. polish grain stockpiles are at record highs, and they're saying that basically they can't make a living, and the farmers are asking

the european union and asking the polish government to put pressure on the european union to impose a complete ban on agriculture imports from ukraine. here in the uk, rishi sunak was heaping praise on british farmers at their annual conference in birmingham. it's the first time in 15 years a a prime minister has addressed a prime minister has addressed the national farming union. some polls suggest he is in danger of losing the rural vote to labour. of losing the rural vote to labour, which is why he came armed with a pre—election sweetener. £220 million for agricultural technology and productivity schemes, which he described as "the biggest ever, package of grants, this year." as president eisenhower said, you know, farming looks mighty easy when your plough is a pencil and you're 1,000 miles from a cornfield. so we're changing the culture. that means trust, supports, cooperation. it means delivering on our promise to cut the planning red tape that's stopping you from diversifying. in april, for instance, we will make legislation so you

in april, for instance, we'll make legislation so you can create bigger farm shops or outdoor sports venues. and it means more funding for grassroots mental health support, because we know what a tough job farming is. after that speech, i caught up with the deputy president of the national farmers' union, tom bradshaw. i think things are certainly bundting _ i think things are certainly bundting up— i think things are certainly bundling up right - i think things are certainly bundling up right here - i think things are certainly. bundling up right here across i think things are certainly- bundling up right here across the uk. bundling up right here across the uk wetsh— bundling up right here across the uk. wetsh policy— bundling up right here across the uk. welsh policy is— bundling up right here across the uk. welsh policy is going - bundling up right here across the uk. welsh policy is going to- bundling up right here across thej uk. welsh policy is going to have bundling up right here across the i uk. welsh policy is going to have an acute _ uk. welsh policy is going to have an acute impact — uk. welsh policy is going to have an acute impact on _ uk. welsh policy is going to have an acute impact on farming. _ uk. welsh policy is going to have an acute impact on farming. but- uk. welsh policy is going to have an acute impact on farming. but if- uk. welsh policy is going to have an acute impact on farming. but if you i acute impact on farming. but if you look acute impact on farming. but if you took across— acute impact on farming. but if you look across europe, _ acute impact on farming. but if you look across europe, there - acute impact on farming. but if you look across europe, there have - acute impact on farming. but if you i look across europe, there have been real trigger— look across europe, there have been real trigger points, _ look across europe, there have been real trigger points, whether- look across europe, there have been real trigger points, whether it - look across europe, there have been real trigger points, whether it be - real trigger points, whether it be in germany, _ real trigger points, whether it be in germany, the _ real trigger points, whether it be in germany, the removal- real trigger points, whether it be in germany, the removal of- real trigger points, whether it be in germany, the removal of the i in germany, the removal of the diesel. — in germany, the removal of the diesel. has— in germany, the removal of the diesel, has been— in germany, the removal of the diesel, has been the _ in germany, the removal of the diesel, has been the significantj diesel, has been the significant wattasey— diesel, has been the significant wallasey impact _ diesel, has been the significant wallasey impact to _ diesel, has been the significant wallasey impact to have - diesel, has been the significant. wallasey impact to have triggered the process— wallasey impact to have triggered the process -- _ wallasey impact to have triggered the process —— policy— wallasey impact to have triggered the process —— policy impact. - wallasey impact to have triggered the process —— policy impact. wel wallasey impact to have triggered . the process —— policy impact. we do need _ the process —— policy impact. we do need fairness — the process —— policy impact. we do need fairness in _ the process —— policy impact. we do need fairness in the _ the process —— policy impact. we do need fairness in the supply- the process —— policy impact. we do need fairness in the supply chain, . need fairness in the supply chain, we do _ need fairness in the supply chain, we do need — need fairness in the supply chain, we do need farmers— need fairness in the supply chain, we do need farmers to _ need fairness in the supply chain, we do need farmers to receive - need fairness in the supply chain, we do need farmers to receive a i need fairness in the supply chain, . we do need farmers to receive a fair return— we do need farmers to receive a fair return for— we do need farmers to receive a fair return for their _ we do need farmers to receive a fair return for their producing. - we do need farmers to receive a fair return for their producing. i - we do need farmers to receive a fair return for their producing. i think. return for their producing. i think it's government _ return for their producing. i think it's government that _ return for their producing. i think it's government that the - return for their producing. i think- it's government that the government

assange. stay with us. hello there. the next couple of days look pretty unsettled. we'll see two areas of low pressure moving in, bringing wet and windy weather to our shores. could see some issues with localised flooding in places as the ground is already so saturated. but one thing noticeable for the next few days, despite the wind and the rain, it will stay very mild before things turn colder from thursday onwards. now, through tonight, that wet, windy, milderweather spreads its way northwards. but initially, ahead of that rain, it will turn quite cold across some northern and eastern areas. a touch frost perhaps for northeast scotland, but temperatures recovering — nine or ten degrees across southern and western areas by the end of the night. and here it is, this area of low pressure, a fairly deep feature with quite a few isobars on the chart indicating windy weather with gales certainly around coasts of irish sea coasts,

northern and eastern parts of scotland could see the strongest gusts. the rain splashing its way eastward through the morning. into the afternoon, starts to push out into the north sea. skies brighten up behind it, but it does remain blustery for all areas. some showers running into northern and western scotland, but it will hang back, i think, across eastern england with regards to the cloud and the rain. but these temperatures again above the seasonal norm — but these temperatures again above the seasonal 11—13 celsius. as we head through wednesday night, it's dry for a time. then we see another area of low pressure gathering force out west that will bring a band of showery rain into northern and western areas. that rain starts to pep up, begins to cross england and wales. again, a fairly mild night to come across the south, something a bit cooler working its way into northern and western areas. that's a sign of things to come as we head through thursday. as this low pressure system, with its heavy rain and strong winds across the south, spreads across the country

and pushes on in towards the north sea, it starts to open the floodgates to a much colder west—northwestly. that's when you can see that's evident here with the blue colours, not particularly very cold, but certainly colder than what we've had over the last week or so. so, a rather unsettled, wet day to come, i think, for much of the country, certainly england and wales on thursday, windy in the south. as the rain pulls away, the colder air starts to move in. the colder air starts to move in, so those showers begin to turn wintry over the higher ground of northern and western hills. and notice the temperatures as well — it will be noticeable — 5—9 degrees factor in the wind. 5—9 degrees. factor in the wind, it'll feel colder than that. it stays fairly unsettled into the weekend. sunshine and showers again, these wintry over northern and western hills and nights will be turning colder with some frost.
