hello — i'm matthew amroliwala. welcome to verified live — three hours of breaking stories and checking out the truth behind them. the un secretary—general has said — nothing justified what he called the �*collective punishment�* of the palestinian people in gaza. speaking at the un's human rights council in geneva, antonio guterres accused member states of " �*turning a blind eye to international law, the geneva conventions and even the united nations charter." his comments came, hours after israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said a ground invasion of rafah — where 1.5 million palestinians are sheltering — would go ahead, whatever happens in hostage negotiations. the israeli military has now presented the war cabinet with a plan for the evacuation of palestinian civilians from rafah. the us has previously warned israel that an offensive, without proper planning, would be a "disaster". one of the development. the palestinian government which administers parts of the israeli

occupied west bank has submitted its resignation to the president, matt made a bass. gaffe made a bass is on a mission to shake up the unpopular palestinian authority. —— mahmoud abbas. rafah is the core of the humanitarian operation and unrwa is the cornerstone of the effort. an all—out assault on the city would not only terrifying for more than a million civilians sheltering there, it would put the final nail in the costs in that aid programmes. —— it would put the final nail in the coffin of our aid programmes. today — marks the deadline for israel to respond to the un's top court — the icj — and the �*provisional measures' — they announced at the hague in the genocide

hearing, that was heard injanuary. paul adams is our diplomatic correspondent injerusalem. i will come to that in a moment to let start with the rafah plan. when is that going to be made public? hat is that going to be made public? not an time is that going to be made public? iirrt any time soon, would be my guess. all we know that was said today is that the israeli military has presented this plan to the cabinet. it will consist of two parts, one of the evacuation of millions of people from rafah as well as the operation itself and another little slightly move at what we saw in gaza city and khan younis where as a pro you to ground operations the israelis attempted to tell people to leave and in some cases pointed the roots that they should take and directed particular neighbourhoods to leave in certain directions. none of that has started to appear. all of that presumably will be in this plan. but at the moment, we don't see any sign of plant being implemented and my

hunches, and it is only a hunch, that an operation to take rafah is still potentially weeks and weeks away because you got to remember, there are intensive negotiations going on designed to bring about a ceasefire. the americans want to see that in place before the start of ramadan, which is injust under two weeks' time. i think there's a growing suggestion that we might see that before we see an assault on rafah and, indeed, prime minister benjamin netanyahu hinted at that possibility yesterday. weight pull, i mentioned the icj deadline today. just remind people watching around the world what the judges instructed israel to do a month ago. . the world what the judges instructed israel to do a month ago.— israelto do a month ago. , yes, so this is a case _ israelto do a month ago. , yes, so this is a case brought _ israelto do a month ago. , yes, so this is a case brought by _ israelto do a month ago. , yes, so this is a case brought by south - this is a case brought by south africa accusing israel of committing genocide in its actions in gaza. the ruling on that, on the big question of genocide, will take probably some

years but in the meantime the court issued on january the 26th years but in the meantime the court issued onjanuary the 26th series of what are called provisional measures designed to make sure that in the meantime, no genocidal acts took place, nothing that would lead to the destruction in whole or in part of the gaza strip, no incitement to genocide and, crucially, and this i think is perhaps the most relevant part, that israel must ensure the delivery of basic services and essential humanitarian aid to the civilians in gaza. i think if you look at the situation that has prevailed since january 26 you'll see that yes, there are still people being killed in gaza, probably around 3500 to 4000 since january 26, but that question of the humanitarian situation, that is the thing is discontinued, the un would say, not to improve but to deteriorate since january 22 with the number of trucks going on successfully to the gaza strip

dropping, with hunger and disease spreading in various parts of the gaza strip. israeli say they are doing everything in their power to allow trucks into gaza. the un is saying that the situation has been created by israel possible military action, which basically you law and order has completely fallen apart in gaza, is making it impossible to run an effective humanitarian campaign. so that is a kind of nub of the debate about who is responsible for the current humanitarian state of gaza. studio: paul adams in jerusalem, thanks studio: paul adams injerusalem, thanks very much. with me is danny danon. he's a senior member of israel's knesset, as well as israel's former ambassador to the united nations. a factual question, first of all. has israel responded to this deadline? is as we're planning to change the way they have executed this war? ~ ,,., , ~

change the way they have executed thiswar? ~ , ~ , ., this war? absolutely. we sent a re ort this war? absolutely. we sent a report with _ this war? absolutely. we sent a report with our _ this war? absolutely. we sent a report with our positions - this war? absolutely. we sent a report with our positions and i this war? absolutely. we sent a| report with our positions and we have no problem with the questions being asked so i don't think there'll be an issue about that. we conduct a war but we conduct the war according to international law and we have proved it in the past and we will do it in the future. we try to minimise the civilian casualties, unlike hamas were using the people in gaza as human shields, we are doing the best to minimise the suffering of the people of gaza. we might end in terms of your response, have you made a public? because a questionnaire shoe at the beginning was there are a series of instructions from the judges just the question i asked you at the beginning. what have you decided to change that they ask you to change because not i cannot tell you about the public part. i know we sent answers to the court. whether it will be public or not i as the court to decide. 50 will be public or not i as the court to decide. ., ., , will be public or not i as the court to decide-— to decide. so what has changed? because the _ to decide. so what has changed? because the court _ to decide. so what has changed? because the court instructed - to decide. so what has changed? because the court instructed six| to decide. so what has changed? i because the court instructed six key areas. what have you agreed to actually change or have you decided not to? what is the position? the

auestions not to? what is the position? tue: questions raised not to? what is the position? he questions raised were not to? what is the position? tt2 questions raised were of answered. you know, we allow the population to move out from northern gaza. we took other measures to minimise... tt other measures to minimise... if they were already answered the call would have dismissed the claim. it said there were six key areas that they instructed israel to actually provide anxious too. so in terms of how you are executing the war, what is changing, say, on the access to humanitarian aid? 50. is changing, say, on the access to humanitarian aid?— humanitarian aid? so, let's talk about human _ humanitarian aid? so, let's talk about human saving _ humanitarian aid? so, let's talk about human saving aid. - humanitarian aid? so, let's talk about human saving aid. we . humanitarian aid? so, let's talk| about human saving aid. we are humanitarian aid? so, let's talk- about human saving aid. we are not limiting the number of trucks come into gaza every day. if the uk wants to send more trucks together, they more than welcome to do that. we allow humanitarian aid to go to gaza even though we know that sometimes hamas, they cover the tracks... sorry, you see those pictures from the border and all the strokes that are stuck there. you have seen that. i mean can make your own defence ministry put out a number. they said nearly full scene pairs and surveyed

has gone into gaza since the start of this war. the war, 500 a day were going a day were going on. that means you are 57,000 57,000 truck shipments short. —— they said... tim shipments short. -- they said... i'm sa in: no shipments short. —— they said... tn saying no limitations. shipments short. -- they said... i'm saying no limitations. we _ shipments short. -- they said... i'm saying no limitations. we are - shipments short. -- they said... i'm saying no limitations. we are not. saying no limitations. we are not limitin: saying no limitations. we are not limiting the _ saying no limitations. we are not limiting the trucks. _ saying no limitations. we are not limiting the trucks. the - saying no limitations. we are not limiting the trucks. the trucks i saying no limitations. we are not| limiting the trucks. the trucks are lined there at the border and have been since october with the un constantly saying they want to get stuff in but they are being blocked. the amount of aid since this january ruling from the icj has gone down, not up, as they wanted. it has gone down. ignite you can repeat saying the same but i will ensue with the facts. we are not limiting the number of trucks. but i haven't heard one word from your reporter and from you today the hostages. we can talk about the trucks and humanitarian aid. what about our humanitarian aid. what about our humanitarian aid? was about 132

hostages who haven't visited the families. we haven't seen the red cross visiting them. we don't have the medicines got to to them. we have youngsters, babies, women being raped in the tunnels. so i don't respect... studio: i understand the point you have made. t studio: i understand the point you have made-— studio: i understand the point you have made. i am asking what about our hostages? _ have made. i am asking what about our hostages? and _ have made. i am asking what about our hostages? and what _ have made. i am asking what about our hostages? and what we - have made. i am asking what about our hostages? and what we are - have made. i am asking what about. our hostages? and what we are asking the international community. understand the point you're making. the icj, when they gave that judgment and generally reference the hostages. the secretary general today in his long statement referenced the hostages. i am simply asking you, the courts give you a month to respond to the six areas they wanted changes in them asking you what you've done about that. now, you've talked about aid and we've gone through the questions and answers to that. one of the rulings also was to change the source of rhetoric that ministers and public figures were making in israel around the danger of genocide. has that been reined in?—

been reined in? well, i think you can follow— been reined in? well, i think you can follow the _ been reined in? well, i think you can follow the words _ been reined in? well, i think you can follow the words of - been reined in? well, i think you can follow the words of people . been reined in? well, i think youj can follow the words of people in israel. i think you can see a leadership and when you look at the word of the prime minister and the government, very responsible, not only about the words but also that the action is what actually reports the action is what actually reports the court because when you read the claim of hamas in south africa, together they went to the court, they court, they claim they are committing genocide. that was an anti—semitic claim. you cannot compare what we're doing to genocide. we are protecting ourselves. on october 7, genocide. we are protecting ourselves. on october7, 6am, iwas sleeping with my daughters are my house when hamas invaded israel so they block the ceasefire and we are conducting a war because we have no other choice. why make in terms of the rhetoric, coming back to that, there was that gathering after the icj ruling which 11 israeli cabinet listers went to the talked about israel resettling in the gaza strip, encouraging voluntary migration of the palestinian population elsewhere. it doesn't seem like the

words are being reined in. when it first of all, israel is a democracy. 9 million people allowed to express. here in london you have people exposing the views. we also have a democracy people ever allowed to express their views. when you look at the actions of the government they are responsible and benjamin netanyahu said very clearly, we have no intention to stay on gaza. we want to move out but we will do it after we finish thejob, want to move out but we will do it after we finish the job, eradicate hamas... after we finish the “ob, eradicate hamas. .. �* ., after we finish the “ob, eradicate hamas... �* ., ., ~ ., hamas... i'm not talking about talkin: hamas... i'm not talking about talking about _ hamas... i'm not talking about talking about the _ hamas... i'm not talking about talking about the civilian - talking about the civilian population in those comments and there was no bustle of that is 11 cabinet ministers were there that that gathering. in terms of the rafah plan, you heard paul adam say the army has delivered the plan. when will it be made public? because we are only a couple of weeks away from the potential moving over a million palestinian civilians out of rafah. there are many people that don't think that is possible but in terms of that plan, how are you going to make that work, giving

concerns about humanitarian... let’s concerns about humanitarian... let's talk about rafah. _ concerns about humanitarian... let's talk about rafah. rafah _ concerns about humanitarian... t2t�*3 talk about rafah. rafah became a safe haven for terrorists. you have four battalions of hamas terrorist in bath today. if you ask what will happen, depends on the negotiations... when it i am asking you what will happen to the civilians. ignite regarding to the hostages, if they will be a negotiation in the next few days the operation gaza will be postponed and if there will be no development i think the government will continue with the efforts to eradicate hamas. when i'm asking you about civilians, not hamas. would regarding civilians, we proved it that we'll ultimately is going to safe areas. the same will happen in rafah. we will leave them time, open corridors, are said to move out. but! corridors, are said to move out. and all those people including the un who say that is impractical in terms of the numbers in the area you would shift them to, you suddenly say they are wrong? shift them to, you suddenly say they are wron: ? , ,., shift them to, you suddenly say they are wron? , are wrong? they said the same in this field me _ are wrong? they said the same in this field me from _ are wrong? they said the same in this field me from northern - are wrong? they said the same in this field me from northern garb i are wrong? they said the same in i this field me from northern garb and by the way hamas tried to stop them from leaving. bud by the way hamas tried to stop them from leaving-— from leaving. and there are 30,000 civilians there. _ from leaving. and there are 30,000 civilians there. you, _ from leaving. and there are 30,000 civilians there. you, but _ from leaving. and there are 30,000 civilians there. you, but on - from leaving. and there are 30,000 civilians there. you, but on this - civilians there. you, but on this when i try to keep them to use them

expensive than elsewhere. prices were higher in these neighbourhoods even when less diverse areas had similar road accident and crime levels. the insurance industry body said ethnicity was not a factor in pricing. your life would bbc news. police and the belgian capital brussels fired tear gas and water cannons as hundreds of protesting farmers and contractors brought chaos to the heart of the city. some smashed the barricades close to the european union headquarters. the farmers, from belgium and across europe, say cheap imports and low food prices are putting their livelihoods at risk and blame eu policies. the streets were choked with smoke from burning tyres and fireworks. agriculture ministers are meeting to discuss the crisis. a short while ago, our correspondent nick beake described the scenes on the ground. these are some of the 900 tractors that the police they have been driven into brussels today. you can

see they are clogging up the streets. this is a really central avenue and it's backed up as far as the eye can see. the farmers that have driven the vehicle have come with a message for year politicians at the european commission and other institutions today and you can see they are being guarded by water cannon the early would dousing the flames of a big pile of tyres set ablaze. the last few minutes, the farmers have set up another fire, which is now burning. they say they are not being treated fairly. they say there is too much red tape, they are having to put up with new rules, environmental rules, which they say they're generally behind but that have been brought into quickly and they're not really doing enough to support them. let me just say what is happening over here becausejust as the smoke below is right across the city there is a sort of barricade which has been set up in the police have been trying to hold people back, some of the tractors have been bashing into the barriers. so, yes, this is the view in

brussels today. the significant thing to hear today to mention is that it does seem that the public support in europe is behind these farmers and already they've won some concessions. for example, some farmers have been told to keep parts of their land basically empty to increase biodiversity, they've been told they'd actually have to do that now and they're hoping that others are nurses that they were being told they'd have to bring in will actually be pause or they will be cancelled. so this continues today. i don't think it would be all day but certainly the farmers here believe they have made their voices heard. that was nick beek in brussels, brussels and will talk to me a little late in the programme but it was like that i was there in brussels and will keep an eye on his latest pictures as they come into us. to politics here, lee anderson has refused to apologise for claiming islamist said got control of the london mayor even after rishi sunak

said the remarks were unacceptable. the original remarks by the former deputy conservative chairman led to him being suspended from the parliamentary party over the weekend. downing street said the payments to will not tolerate anti—muslim hatred in any form. mr anderson was taught to by reporters as he arrived in parliament a little earlier. just a little listen to this. a mac mr anderson, do you accept your comments that you have been calling races for your party? t comments that you have been calling races for your party?— races for your party? i have got a -hone races for your party? i have got a phone call— races for your party? i have got a phone call to _ races for your party? i have got a phone call to make. _ let's get the action because this can and questions being thrown at lee anderson. imam qari asim is the head imam at makkah mosque leeds and chair of mosques & imams national advisory board. he used to be an islamophobia consultant for the government thank you so much forjoining us. in terms of what we have heard from government ministers and the prime minister over the last 24 hours, what have you made about the late

they have actually responded. —— the way they have actually responded? t way they have actually responded? i think it is really disappointing that the prime minister and members of the cabinet have not really cold out islamophobic comments made by lee anderson. we welcome the fact that lee anderson has been suspended from the party but i think it's really important to recognise that what he said was driven by anti—muslim prejudice, anti—muslim hatred, islamophobia. we are not precious about the term itself but i think what's really important is that muslim people in this country feel protected and that the government's approach to islamophobia and anti—muslim hatred is serious rather than tactical and cynical. weight above ennis warsi, who used to be the former conservative party chair, described the words of richey scenic is

mealy—mouthed. the primacy of said words are important and lee anderson is wrong. words are important so should the prime minister have simply said it was islamophobic, just simply called it out in terms of what it was? absolutely. i think words are important and it really matters is whether or not we call out whenever we see anti—muslim hatred, islamophobia. if the prime minister believes that the government wants to be seen as seriously tackling anti—muslim hatred in this country then i think it was not really important that right from the very top we hear and also see the practical steps being taken to root anti—muslim hatred and one of the first step should be to define islamophobia and when we talk about defining islamophobia it's not necessarily protecting the faith itself. you know, we can critique the faith as much as we like. people

have been doing so, people will carry on doing so. this is about protecting individuals. i have had members of my own moss community who have suffered abuse, anti—muslim hatred, racism and this really leaves people with scars for the rest of their lives and that's not acceptable, just like we have stamped out or try to charm comic stamped out or try to charm comic stamp out anti—semitism, xenophobia and otherforms of stamp out anti—semitism, xenophobia and other forms of racism and hatred, we are asking that serious steps are taken by those in power to ensure that muslims feel safe in this country. ensure that muslims feel safe in this country-— ensure that muslims feel safe in this country. ensure that muslims feel safe in this count . ,., ,, ., , this country. downing street only in the last hour _ this country. downing street only in the last hour or— this country. downing street only in the last hour or so _ this country. downing street only in the last hour or so again _ this country. downing street only in the last hour or so again underlined the last hour or so again underlined the point and said anti—muslim statements would not be acceptable. do you see any sort of difference in approach from the top, from government, when it comes to anti—semitism and islamophobia? t

anti—semitism and islamophobia? i think we are not necessarily here talking about a hierarchy of racism. it is important that we stamp out anti—semitism and the government quite rightly takes a practical steps and also serious steps to call out wherever there is an anti—semitism and i have myself been calling out anti—semitism. it's not acceptable that we tolerate any form of hatred, including anti—semitism and, similarly, ithink of hatred, including anti—semitism and, similarly, i think it's is incumbent upon all of us all the way from top to the bottom that we challenge anti—muslim hatred, islamophobia, wherever we see it. all of its manifestations need to be called out immediately and seriously. weight thanks so much for talking to us, thank you.

hello there. good afternoon. still rather blustery today towards the south of the uk, but there is a lot of dry weather around, especially in the west. lots of blue skies, sunshine here today in swansea, as recorded by our weather watcher. further east, although there will still be some sunny spells, expect to see some showers blow in from the north sea. there's more of the same as we head through the rest of the afternoon too. some of these showers making their way as far west as eastern areas of wales. but across western scotland, northern ireland, western wales and the south—west of england it is largely dry. a bit of wind chill to factor into those temperatures towards north sea facing coast with a brisk north—easterly wind. it will feel a little colder than this out towards the east. highs between seven and ten degrees celsius. the strong winds across the channel islands eventually easing down as we head through the evening. overnight tonight, a couple of weather fronts just approaching the far north—west of scotland, northern ireland, north—west england. high pressure topples further southwards. here the winds will lighten and there will be some fog patches developing into tomorrow morning. for many a touch of frost, but temperatures will rise slightly as we head through the small hours of tomorrow morning. we'll start the day off with many of our temperatures just slightly above freezing. the fog lingering on across

south—east england and then gradually clearing away. this weather front gradually slipping further southwards and eastwards bringing some outbreaks of rain, but gradually petering out as it comes into the area of high pressure. behind it the skies will brighten again towards the north and the west, but expect to see a few showers, possibly a bit wintry over the higher ground. as we head through tuesday and into wednesday another warm front approaches. so, again, a touch of frost for many on tuesday night into wednesday. this weather front is going to drag behind it some milder—feeling air, but it's quite a wet start to the day across western scotland, northern ireland, down through western wales, north—west england. drier and likely to stay dry for much of the day further east, with again some hazy sunshine, but clouding over. we'll see temperatures creep back up again into double figures as that milder air starts to take hold. then, as we head through thursday, colder air follows behind the second weather front that's going to sweep in from the west again. some of the showers on thursday could turn a bit wintry, particularly over the higher ground, but there'll also be some spells

of brightness and sunshine too. the milder hangs on in the south and the east. bye— bye.

sheharbano welcome to bbc news. let's turn to our main headlines this afternoon... benjamin netanyahu

says an assault on rafah will go
