hello, i'm lucy grey. you're watching the context on bbc news. the amount of times that democrats were on their feet, they were cheering this, i think it was absolutly clear that there was a sense that he had punched through on that. we need more aid to go in, in the last few days we've averaged about 120 trucks of aid going in. we need more like 500 a day, not 120. and it is your relentless work to get this corridor up and running, despite all the challenges, and this is truly inspiring a maritime corridor to gaza could begin operating this weekend to boost aid to the territory, according to the european commission

chief ursula von der leyen. it comes a day after president biden said the us planned to build a temporary port in gaza. we'll have the latest reaction from washington and jerusalem. also on the programme... joe biden delivers a fiery state of the union speech, setting out the key issues likely to feature in his re—election campaign and takes a swipe at his presidential rival donald trump. but has he done enough to stop the doubters. the great barrier reef is showing signs of strain after record high sea temperatures, undergoing another mass bleaching event. the un has been warning that gaza faces famine — and that children there are dying from hunger. it says there have been"overwhelming obstacles" when it comes to getting aid into the territory. but on friday — a potential breakthrough — the uk says it willjoin the us and other allies to create a maritime corridor to deliver essential aid directly to gaza.

ajoint statement from the uk, us, eu, cyprus and the united arab emirates said... the plan is to establish a shipping route that would get aid from cyprus to gaza by sea working with the un to facilitate, co—ordinate, monitor and verify the flow of aid. the statement said efforts will be closely co—ordinated with israel's government. initial shipments would arrive via cyprus, where israeli security inspections will take place. the israeli foreign ministry spokesman lior haiat reacted on x — saying...

the sea corridor development follows presidentjoe biden�*s announcement that the us military will set up a temporary port in gaza to allow more aid to be delivered to the territory. here's the british foreign secretary lord cameron. but this new idea from the of united states, which were involved in building a temporary harbour in gaza, means that aid will be able to go directly from cyprus to gaza, but it's going to take time to build. so the crucial thing is today, the israelis must confirm that they'll open the port at ashdod, that is in israel, but that's a working port. it could take aid now that would increase the amount of aid. and that aid can then be driven into gaza. that would make a real difference. and we need to make a real difference right now. on a visit to cyprus, the head of the european commission ursula von der leyen said the new maritime corridor will begin operating very soon — hopefully by sunday. today, the republic of cyprus, the european commission, the united arab emirates and the united states, of course, supported by other critical partners, announced our intent to open

the maritime corridor to deliver much—needed additional amounts of humanitarian assistance by sea. together, our nations intend to build on this model to deliver significant additional aid by sea. we are launching the cyprus maritime corridor together, cyprus, the european union, the united arab emirates, and the united states, and it is your relentless work to get this corridor up and running, despite all the challenges, and this is truly inspiring. we are now very close to the opening of the corridor. hopefully this saturday, the sunday. and i'm very glad to see that an initial pilot operation will be launched today. let's get the perspective now from washington and jerusalem — from our correspondents, tom bateman and wyre davies. what we heard from president biden in his state of the union address last night was the establishment of this seaport, a floating port to be constructed by the us military

off the coast of gaza. that would then be floated to shore and that would allow, you know, a very large amount of aid to be delivered. the problem being that nobody seems to know yet, once it gets onto the beach, how it would be secured and you're back into the same problems, that security has collapsed around aid convoys, especially in the north of gaza. and that is the issue. it's about distribution. and also this thing is going to take up to two months, according to briefings from us officials, to be built. so we're not talking about that happening imminently. the opening up of this so—called maritime corridor is an ingenious, if experimental idea. the plan is that, this weekend, folks with some aid on it would leave cyprus, bound for gaza. there is no natural harbour in gaza, no obvious way of off—loading this aid. there will be no foreign troops on the ground, so there is a lot of scepticism, particularly amongst aid agencies, if this is a plan that will work.

it also, notably, comes on the back ofjoe biden peace plan to build some sort of temporary harbour in gaza to allow aid and construction material to help with the reconstruction of gaza and the supply of age, but that won't be ready for a couple of months at least. of course, the way to get aid into gaza is by road, but the israelis at the minute and the aid agencies between them are only getting about 100 trucks worth of aid in every day, which is way short of the 500 truckloads needed by the people of gaza because in the north of gaza, in particular, there is malnutrition, children are dying from hunger and aid agencies in particular, also israel's allies have warned that if's a dire humanitarian situation. a couple of lines from the pentagon from all of us. they said they've been talking with aid groups mfifis been talking with aid groups ngos and the un about _ been talking with aid groups ngos and the un about the _ been talking with aid groups ngos and the un about the a _ been talking with aid groups ngos and the un about the a delivery and

set it will take several weeks and execution to build that temporary port, adding that the us to provide 2 million meals to gazans daily and they don't have a cost estimate yet of making that temporary port. let's speak to amy potter, nurse with medecins sans frontieres, who recently returned from gaza. hello to you. thanks very much for joining us. ijust mentioned there the pentagon's saying they've been talking to agencies about the delivery of this aid. this is the keyissue, delivery of this aid. this is the key issue, isn't it, for you guys down on the ground, this ability to move the aid through gaza and to reach the people who need it. it's one thing getting it from the sea onto land and getting it, but getting it to people, can you talk asked her how difficult that is? it's certainly difficult getting it to people. there's a lot of logistical problems. even more than

that, there is aid outside of the border when i entered gaza and when i left gaza. as hundreds if not thousands of trucks getting aid to gaza isn't necessarily a logistical problem. getting it into gaza we just need to solve the political problems to get it across the border. . , ., problems to get it across the border. ., , ., , , ., border. can you 'ust tell us a little bit about _ border. can you just tell us a little bit about the _ border. can you just tell us a little bit about the situation. | border. can you just tell us a | little bit about the situation. i know it's a desperate situation, can you tell us a little bit about what it was like when you where they are? it's truly awful. every day you see people lined up from the sun up just waiting. i remember driving by the food distribution points and they noticed there were always kids in line, and i asked one of our national staff members and i said wise always kids in line, they explained he can only get one distribution per day, because water is too heavy, they would send the adults are water and the kids would

line up forfood. adults are water and the kids would line up for food. these are the decisions that people have to make and i was in south gaza. from what i understand it is far worse in the north. they don't have access to nearly as many supplies or aid as needed. at nearly as many supplies or aid as needed. �* ., ., , needed. a quarter of gaza's pepulation _ needed. a quarter of gaza's pepulation is _ needed. a quarter of gaza's population is on _ needed. a quarter of gaza's population is on the - needed. a quarter of gaza's population is on the brink . needed. a quarter of gaza's| population is on the brink of famine. we have been hearing about children potentially starving to death already, do people you talk to, do they have any faith at all that things will change when we get these talks and they break down, delegates don't turn up. when you talk to people do they have any hope? talk to people do they have any ho e? ., , ., , , talk to people do they have any hoe? ., , ,., hope? their only hope is a cease-fire. _ hope? their only hope is a cease-fire. they _ hope? their only hope is a cease-fire. they were - hope? their only hope is a cease-fire. they were all i hope? their only hope is a | cease-fire. they were all in hope? their only hope is a - cease-fire. they were all in south cease—fire. they were all in south gaza, most are in the rough area they moved many times over. one child i spoke with, they said there is nowhere left to go. their hope is a cease—fire. there are so many ideas back and forth about getting

talked israel around, prior to this, he is having to launch a corridor from a boat onto land come into this maritime corridor, rather than actually persuading israel to let more aid and on land. how do you see this in terms of a win for biden or what? ,., ., ., ~' i., , what? good evening. thank you very much for the — what? good evening. thank you very much for the invitation _ what? good evening. thank you very much for the invitation to _ what? good evening. thank you very much for the invitation to come into | much for the invitation to come into your programme. i think this is frankly an admittance of failure by president biden and by the administration were generally when it comes to gaza, israel is dependent on the united states in numerous ways the transfer of arms, the defence of israel at the united nations security council by the american detail and yet, for the last five months, the biden administration has been unwilling to use the sun is right to force a

potentially children are dying of starvation but it's actually a fact, it's taken place recently. and yet we are salivating opening of this maritime corridor which will take a great deal of time, which will not be the amount of aid that is necessary and will not be comparable to the aid that could be transferred immediately if those land borders were opened up. land borders that incidentally israelis are opening up. israelis are in the occupation of gaza strip 1967 comments occupying power and international humanitarian law is obliged to take care of the welfare of the population under control is not only failed to do happen is a major to the world that population. you mentioned _ the world that population. you mentioned these _ the world that population. you mentioned these air drops potentially having killed people, the pentagon isjust getting a press conference at the moment to just say that the press reports that the us air drops resulted in civilian casualties on the ground are false,

saying that they have confirmed that all of their aid bundles landed safely on the ground just coming from the press conference at the moment. we can see on screen, and other line coming out of that is that israel's going to provide for a temporary port being built on gazans on the coast there to receive humanitarian aid. thoughts come from president biden, that's what he said a little bit earlier today. it's a process —— bizarre situations you have israel providing security for these measures that america feels it's had to do because it has not had the access to the land border i see mentioned. what would it take for the us do you think that might change president biden�*s mind to make him let's try to stop sending arms and the like, what would it take for him to act on that? just to reiterate, witnesses _ take for him to act on that? just to reiterate, witnesses on _ take for him to act on that? just to reiterate, witnesses on the - reiterate, witnesses on the ground had said that people were killed as

a result of these air drops falling on top of them. and i think we ought to take those reports very seriously. in terms of what it would take for the american situation to change their position, you have to ask that question to the biden administration themselves the last five months now of a massive bombardment of gaza, not of hamas, i want to make this clear, it is not hamas that is in the cross hairs here, it is the palestinian population and mass and we only need to rely of the statements of israeli officials themselves who say they are not simply holding hamas responsible but they hold the entire palestinian nation responsible, that is a quote from the israeli president himself, let alone the prime minister and his israeli cabinet that make it clear that collective punishment is being enacted here, and yet the biden administration has been unwilling, i shan�*t say unable, because it is

able, but has been unwilling to use the leverage it has in order to force a change from israeli behaviour.— force a change from israeli behaviour. ., ~ , ., ., force a change from israeli behaviour. ., ~ ., ., ~ behaviour. 0k, thank you for talking to us, behaviour. ok, thank you for talking to us. thank— behaviour. 0k, thank you for talking to us. thank you _ behaviour. 0k, thank you for talking to us, thank you very _ behaviour. 0k, thank you for talking to us, thank you very much. - some breaking news to bring you now at the un security council, it has adopted a british resolution on sudan, which calls for immediate cessation of hostilities during the month of ramadan, and calling all parties to ensure removal of any obstruction and to enable full rapid safe humanitarian access, these have just come to us now, the un security and adopting the uk resolution, 1a members voted in favour and russia abstained. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news... patients in parts of england are facing an uphill struggle to see a gp. an analysis showed wide regional variation in doctor numbers. the nuffield trust think tank found kent and medway had the fewest gps per person,

continues to roll its way northwards and eastwards, and it will bring with it some spells of rain. so some outbreaks of mostly light, patchy rain across parts of south west england into wales, the midlands, pushing further north into northern england and northern ireland a bit later on through the day. but it�*s mostly dry across much of scotland. we�*ve still got that easterly wind, but blowing a bit more from the south easterly direction across the south east of england. here some brighter spells and it will feel a bit warmer, 13 or 14 degrees, but still cold for north sea facing coasts in particular, added wind chilljust six degrees celsius in aberdeen. and that rain will continue to push its way further northwards and eastwards as we head through sunday. so many of us seeing some wet weather throughout the day for mother�*s day. if you�*re out and about, just bear that in mind. there will be spells of rain across the south of england pushing through into eastern wales, at least possibly reaching the rest of wales and north west england by the time we get to the end of the day. some rain, too, just spreading in from the south across parts of scotland.

but it won�*t be raining all the time. still cold for these north sea facing coasts. temperatures just ten or 11 degrees celsius underneath the cloud and the rain. but then the winds lighten as we head into the start of next week as that low pressure pulls its way further eastwards. so there will be a lot of dry weather around on monday and tuesday. and although it could be quite cloudy for many of us, it won�*t feel so cold because the winds will be that bit lighter. temperatures are set to climb, though, as we head through the week. bye— bye.
