set a ground invasion was necessary. 1.4 million people or hold. earlier, i spoke to an escapee from gaza and the experiences of his family. the fact that i have _ the experiences of his family. iie: fact that i have two siblings with one of their children only eight months old, they are on the ground with hundreds of thousands of palestinians intends tent —— and inside tents. the last message i had from my brother, he told me that he hasn't left his tent and he's depressed and he can't imagine going out of his tent. people are not only

starving, they are not even feeling cold from the winter. they are also becoming depressed because there's no solution to the excruciating circumstances they have been living in. people who succeeded in leaving like my two siblings now are unable to survive because israel is running out them. they are bombing the cities of rafah, khan younis and the other cities. they are slowing the entrance of many trucks and at the age trucks that are coming through —— age trucks. other members of my family, also my wife's family —— aid trucks. my other son, who is eight years old, whenever he hears us talking to them, he asks are they eating well, do they have enough

water, are they still alive. these are the questions that my eight—year—old son asks me. the housing secretary michael gove has pledged to reform the leasehold system before the general election. england and wales are the only countries in the world where leases are still widespread. homeowners pay for a lease to live in a property for a specified number of years, but many residents say they feel exploited by high service charges. phil hendry reports. when storm eunice struck britain two years ago, it wasn't just the coast that took a battering, so did the roof of liz winstanley�*s top floor flat in manchester. there was just water coming in everywhere, through the light sockets, through the plug sockets. it was a nightmare. this is a funnel system that they had erected to try to stop the water...

because liz bought her flat as leasehold, she says she's had a protracted battle with her managing agent to get repairs done. all the while having to pay her service charge. you have mould, as well. yeah, really, really bad. the entire flat had to be gutted and rebuilt. she's onlyjust moved back in. while it's nice to be back home, you know, there's still issues. i've got no heating, there's various accounts that we've not been able to see, not being able to control the service charge. so i wouldn't touch leasehold again. managing agents firstport said it recognised residents like liz faced challenges, but delays were down to a structural defect in the roof. the government says that its new leasehold legislation will make it easier for people like liz to take legal should make it easierfor people like liz to take legal action against freeholders and managing agents, and provide greater transparency about the service charges that they have to pay. in london's canary wharf, anna scoffin would certainly like more transparency. i'm so angry. her service charges have shot up in two years to £33,000 a year.

it's extortion, and we are being ripped off. so, even if you're wealthy and you want to buy a fabulous flat somewhere, please don't. anna's newly appointed managing agent says it's reviewing the service charges for her building, but a leading estate agent says leasehold flats are becoming very difficult to sell and that the government should have considered abolishing it. certainly people who are having the poor experience of seeing l their service charges double with no perceived increase in service or amenity, they certainly believe that it's a toxic market. despite this, the housing secretary rejects abolition. i prefer to look at big, practical steps that will improve the lives of leaseholders, making sure that the room for exploitation is squeezed until it no longer exists is critical. the real challenge here, though, with abolishing leasehold with a stroke of a pen

is the complexity. a complexity which means that many of the millions of leaseholders in england and wales say, despite the government's proposed protections, they'll remain financially exposed and trapped. phil hendry, bbc news. let's turn to russia now. a close ally of the russian opposition leader alexei navalny says a deal to free him in a prisoner swap was in its final stages, just before his death in an arctic jail this month. in a video posted on alexei navalny�*s youtube channel, maria pevchikh alleged that president putin had agreed an exchange, but had his opponent killed instead. let's get more details from vitaliy shevchenko, russia editor at bbc monitoring. maria pevchikh is a key associate of...was, of alexei navalny. she was the head of investigation, so a key figure in his entourage. and she said that the night before alexei navalny died, she had been told that negotiations were at a final stage,

potentially leading up to alexei navalny�*s exchange for a russian secret service assassin called vadim krasikov, who is currently serving a life sentence in germany. in exchange, russia was to hand to western powers, presumably to american nationals and alexei navalny. ms pevchikh described this as a result of a un operation, a project which was two years in the making. —— ofan —— of an operation. and she said because vladimir putin was so opposed to exchanging alexei navalny and setting him free, according to ms pevchikh, he killed him. to paris, where the french president emmanuel macron is hosting a conference as a show of solidarity for ukraine.

german chancellor olaf scholz and british foreign secretary david cameron are among those attending. our paris correspondent hugh schofield is outside the french presidential palace where the meeting is taking place. the message that president macron wants to put out from here is, of course, one of unity and solidarity at a time when the context, as they say here in in the allies, is a bad one. it's not looking good for ukraine. the messaging that's coming out from ukraine is one that of anxiety and concern. and what we're being told from the macron team is that they want to change that message, that they're hearing a lot of doom and gloom about about ukraine. a lot of doom and gloom about ukraine. but we're not doomy. we're not gloomy as the quote that everyone's saying. they want to show that the europeans are united. and i don't think that we can expect any big announcements on armaments or pledges or anything like that. but the the clear idea is to show to president putin that europe is united and that even though

the context is a bad one, with these setbacks on the battlefield and signs that the russians are out producing, the ukrainians in arms and ammunition and so on, nonetheless, there is no question as what we're being told by the staff here at the elysee, that we are going to allow putin to think that he can win this war. still to come on the world today, mary poppins has his age rating lifted to pg almost 60 years after first released. the letters on the love triangle. around the world and you to cross uk. effective training in middlesbrough. elias is already thinking about his next bout. he took the region welterweight belt in darlington.

i'd love someone to write a love some about me. i'm not asking for obviously. japan's moon lander has survived the harsh lunar night, the sunless and freezing equivalent to two earth weeks. here's a simulation of moon lander slim descending to the lunar surface. it was put into sleep mode after an awkward landing injanuary left its solar panels facing the wrong way and unable to generate power. but japan's national space agency says there was a command sent to the lander, and a response received back last last night, after a change in sunlight direction. earlier, i spoke to dr simeon barber, a lunar research scientist at the open university. i asked him why this lunar landing is happening. it's trying to demonstrate technology for the really precise landing on the moon. whereas other missions may land with an inaccuracy for maybe a kilometre, this

particular lander was aiming to land within ten metres of its target landing site. it was using cameras to see the surface as it descended to see the surface as it descended to the ground and constantly adjusting it, it's rocket mortars in order to pinpoint land. adjusting it, it's rocket mortars in orderto pinpoint land. it order to pinpoint land. it landed really, really well. unfortunately, there was kind of a last—minute glitch that went slightly off course and landed on the edge of a crate. so, we have this unfortunate situation where the solar panels are not pointing where they should be. but it survived the lunar light. tell me more, how did it do that and why was that so important? surviving lunar ni i ht why was that so important? surviving lunar night is... _ why was that so important? surviving lunar night is... sounds _ why was that so important? surviving lunar night is... sounds very - lunar night is... sounds very romantic. — lunar night is... sounds very romantic, doesn't _ lunar night is... sounds very romantic, doesn't it? - lunar night is... sounds very - romantic, doesn't it? laughter i'm guessing it's not romantic at all. it i'm guessing it's not romantic at all. , , �* , ., , i'm guessing it's not romantic at all. , ,,, all. it depends. it's a bit chilly. the moon _ all. it depends. it's a bit chilly. the moon is — all. it depends. it's a bit chilly. the moon is a _ all. it depends. it's a bit chilly. the moon is a really _

approach to use behaviour like this causes fear and intimidation for communities across the country. children causing misery for those who are targeted. tonight, we've joined the fight against it in south shields. this is northumbria police's trojan bus. it gives the element of surprise. they've gone on the platform of the train station. it allows them to get close to trouble without being recognised. we'rejustjumping back on the metro to go down towards the, erm, city centre. this is the new front line in tackling anti—social behaviour. we'll quickly go through the briefing for our operation tonight on the trojan bus. tonight's operation began a few hours earlier with a briefing at south shields police station. whispering: as you can see, they'rejust running through the operation at the moment.

now, it's an ordinary stagecoach bus that's going to be driving around, but it won't be on a normal bus route. instead, it's going to target areas that are hotspots for anti—social behaviour. we've been out less than an hour, and already, police are dealing with trouble at the bus station. i've spoke to his mam, she's aware of the search. i've told her she can come down the station and see the body—worn if she wants to. children letting off fireworks. you have to leave right now, right? they're handed a dispersal order and banned from the area. how effective is a dispersal order in trying to tackle these sorts of problems? yeah, it's very effective. itjust shows by... we've dealt with it there and then. they're getting given a chance. they might have found themselves in a little bit of bother _ with the wrong group. this is your chance to go leave the area and you won't find . yourself in bother. it's this kind of low—level crime that blights lives. it seems to be getting a lot worse at the moment around the area, especially down the seafront. at the moment, the last couple of weeks, there's been a couple of teenagers smashing all the windows and that. people don't want to come out at night, basically, because of it.

terrible. when you get on, it's full of them on their bikes and the abuse and the language isjust terrible. all on their vapes. awful. they've got no respect for anybody and they're just abusive. it's horrible. they're going on one wheel, running in front of you. - we've been in greggs . and they've just went in and pinched all the sandwiches, all the pop, and nobody's... - we've come and told the security and nobody's doing anything. - it's a waste of time. the next calls come in and we're back at the bus station. you go that way. they're in hot pursuit. police! stop where you are. give us that laser. he's14 and accused of shining a laser pen at drivers and a police officer. it was green, shining in my eye. i could've caused an accident. i could've killed myself or killed somebody else. you think that's funny?! no. - no, it's not. it's a criminal offence.

maybe i'll lock you up, but we're not going to lock up. right? police say they're determined to drive out the problem, but it's not yet been left in the rear view mirror, so there's still a need for tactics like this to confront the scourge of anti—social behaviour. rowan bridge, bbc news, south shields. isa is a story about an artist that i'm a majorfan of. george michael is being honoured with a personalised collectible coin. it's officially approved by his estate. the coin features the star wearing his trademark sunglasses and paid tribute to the 1987 hit single faith. the new point is the very latest addition to the royal men's music legends series. george michael rose to stardom in the 19805 before embarking on a very successful solo career. he died on christmas day in

the best of the sunshine towards the west today, such as here in northern ireland, also western scotland. wales and the southwest of england, seeing lots of blue sky around. some sunny spells, but also some showers blowing in from the north sea, though, further east. and the general forecast, as we head through the rest of the week, it�*s going to be changeable — wet and windy at times, some frost and fog forming perhaps for some over the next couple of nights. and then the air turns briefly milder through the middle part of the week. now, overnight tonight, we look out towards the northwest of scotland, into northern ireland, where we see a couple of weather fronts approaching. temperatures dipping away for a while, but then rising again as the cloud starts to thicken and the rain pushes through. but further south, for england and wales, it�*s going to feel rather chilly. there�*ll be a frost and also some fog developing as the winds lighten — the fog most likely for the east midlands and into east anglia. but this is how we�*ll start off the day on tuesday. now, that fog will be slow to lift and clear. there will be some hazy sunshine across the southeastern quadrant of the uk. further north and west, that frontjust continues to slip further southwards and eastwards, but as it bumps into the high pressure, it�*s fizzling out.

so, the rain will be really quite negligible by the time we get to the end of the day. brighter skies developing behind the front. a scattering of showers and temperatures are milder across much of scotland, northern england and northern ireland — 9 or 10 celsius here. now, as we head through tuesday night, again, a frost possible across england and wales, but too windy for any frost to form really further north than that and another warm front approaches. now, this is going to drag with it some milderfeeling air and also some further outbreaks of rain — heaviest towards the west across northern ireland, western scotland, down through northwest england, western wales and the southwest of england. but it�*s a largely dry day, but with thickening cloud through the afternoon across eastern england. temperatures here reaching double figures as that milder air gradually sweeps its way eastwards. but then a couple of cold fronts will be pushing through as we head through thursday, so, again, it will be turning colderfor most. this rain pushes across east anglia through central—southern england, perhaps pepping up at times. brighter skies, but also a good scattering of showers and some chillierfeeling air. some of these showers could be wintry, perhaps, over the scottish

mountains, so turning colder. bye— bye.

hello, i�*m christian fraser. you�*re watching the context on bbc news.
