the bbc sees evidence that staff at nasser hospital in gaza were mistreated by israeli forces — we will bring you a special report. a ship loaded with 200 tonnes of humanitarian aid has left cyprus�*s larnaca port for gaza. also on the programme... hately's prime minister _ also on the programme... hately's prime minister ariel _ also on the programme... hately's prime minister ariel henry - also on the programme... hately's prime minister ariel henry resigns| prime minister ariel henry resigns and calls for calm after gang violence plunge the country into chaos. and american singer—songwriter eric carmen, known for their hit single all by myself, has died. hello, i'm anna foster. you are live with bbc news. i am here injerusalem, where we start with a special report. the bbc has seen evidence that doctors, nurses and other hospital staff were detained, beaten and prevented from carrying out vital medical

duties when israeli forces overran the nasser hospital in gaza last month. we've also heard accusations that some detainees were stripped and kept in stress positions for several hours. israel said it occupied nasser believing it was used by hamas and several released israeli hostages have said they were held there. wyre davies reports — and a warning, you might find some parts of his report distressing. not for the first time in this war, israeli soldiers have been filmed standing over stripped and kneeling detainees in gaza. but these are medical staff, detained after the israeli army overran the nasser hospital in khan yunis. most of them are still held captive. for weeks, the medics had witnessed israel's military advance closing in around their hospital. the fighting in khan younis was fierce. thousands of people who'd sought refuge in the grounds,

fled under gunfire. what should have been a place of safety was completely the opposite. one nurse was shot inside a hospital operating theatre through a window. another person shot at the main entrance. the hospital was under siege. on february the 15th, after giving warnings, israeli tanks overran the hospital. there were chaotic scenes as troops took control. patients who'd been unable to evacuate were moved by medics from collapsing wards. israel says it found hamas weapons, also medication which they say supports accounts from israeli hostages that they were held there. in the idf�*s own footage, you can see that hospital patients had their hands zip tied, detained outside in their beds and wheelchairs.

this was when troops also detained the medical personnel, more than 50 of them forced to leave their posts and remove their surgical clothing. —— at least 49 of them. israel says it did so in case there were concealed weapons, and that among the 200 arrested at nasser were terrorists posing as medics. dr amira assouli had remained at nasser throughout the siege, before the israeli incursion, risking her own neck to save lives, as people were shot inside the grounds. she later witnessed what happened to her fellow doctors. | translation: it was tough for us to | see how the doctors, who had bravely stayed at the hospital despite the dangers, were stripped and beaten. their hands were tied behind them and they were left in the sun for hours. his hand broken in captivity, dr ahmed sabha is one of the very few medics

to have since been released. he shows the positions they were forced to adopt for hours, and says they were also tortured. translation: they forced us to kneel down with our eyes blindfolded. - there was a pit in the ground, and we thought they would execute us and bury us there. we said our prayers, but they were just intimidating us. israel says any abuse of detainees is against idf orders and is strictly prohibited. but crucially, according to the hospital manager who dealt with the israelis during the raid, the detention of so many of his staff left his hospital woefully short of doctors. translation: eight doctors and 15 nurses were left - treating 250 patients. you can imagine the level of care we could give with no water or electricity

in the hospital at that point. during this time, 13 patients and injured people died. the israeli army says it operated within nasser in a precise and focused manner, and says it provided equipment enabling it to function and treat patients. but with the war continuing, and at least 46 medics still detained or missing, the hospital has been closed for weeks. wyre davies, bbc news. the humanitarian situation in gaza remains dire. over the last couple of days we have been watching the progress of a ship which will be the first to inaugurate this new maritime aid corridor from first to inaugurate this new maritime aid corridorfrom cyprus first to inaugurate this new maritime aid corridor from cyprus to gaza, which will enable ships to take # don't wanna be.. it has been loaded in larnaca, it has been told

by a ship from the spanish charity open arms who said it set sail this morning loaded with 200 tonnes of aid. the un has said that gaza is on the brink of famine. quentin sommerville has the latest. the? sommerville has the latest. they finall had sommerville has the latest. they finally had the _ sommerville has the latest. they finally had the security _ sommerville has the latest. tie: finally had the security clearances and they leftjust before nine o'clock local time today. as you said, it will take a while to get by, perhaps as long as 50 hours, two days. the difficulty they face when they arrive is that gaza, which is in a state of war agenda under israeli bombardment has no infrastructure and no functioning port, so they are busily building hrt to receive this aid using the rubble from some of the destruction

—— they are busily building a jetty. the ship has 200 tonnes of aid including rice, flour and preprepared meals. it is on the way to gaza but it is a tiny amount compared to gaza's need. they have been receiving aid supplies by truck and air drops. this is the first time the maritime corridor has been opened and the expectation is that will be many more ships after this, notjust world central kitchen. they have these functioning kitchens, 60 across gaza, staffed by palestinians, they have been providing aid. world central kitchen has also been doing this in ukraine, haiti and across the world. they are quite nimble and practised at getting this kind of aid to very hard to reach basis. but let me touch on the amount of aid, your

average container truck holds about 20 tonnes of aid so doing a back of the envelope calculation, that would mean that to me to gaza's needs by sea, 50 of those barges would need to leave every single day. there is another should be prepared to deliver aid if this one is successful and also the united states has a separate maritime corridor where they will deliver aid, they are sending a ship from the united states which will build a pier offshore gaza, presumably much bigger and one which can handle large amounts of cargo than there little ship disappearing over the horizon as i speak. so there is a big effort going on by international aid groups, the united arab emirates, the united states, europe, cyprus and others. as well as the occupier of gaza and, indeed, the

west bank, should be responsible for ensuring people that i have enough food, water and electricity, clearly that it's not happening at the moment —— for ensuring that the people that i had enough. in some respects the responsibility is being passed on to others but it remains the responsibility of israel under the responsibility of israel under the geneva convention that the people of gaza, the palestinians, have everything they need to live a proper life. have everything they need to live a --roer life. ,, have everything they need to live a preper life-— proper life. quentin sommerville, who is following _ proper life. quentin sommerville, who is following the _ proper life. quentin sommerville, who is following the progress - proper life. quentin sommerville, who is following the progress of i who is following the progress of that age ship from larnaca. it is just the beginning of ramadan. yesterday we were in eastjerusalem where palestinians are starting to celebrate the muslim holy month but in a very different way to normal. the palestinians of gaza do not have anywhere near the food and resources they need and are living under bombardment. i went into the muslim quarter in eastjerusalem and asked people about the impact on their minds what they were seeing as ramadan began. translation: there is

in the uk rose to 3.9% in the three months to january. that's up from 3.8% from the previous three months. the new labour market figures, released by the office for national statistics, also showed that more than a fifth of 16 to 64—year—olds in the uk were not actively looking for work. more than 900,000 people in england who did not get their measles, mumps and rubella jab as children are being invited to take part in a catch—up campaign. mmr vaccine coverage is now the lowest it has been for more than a decade. the campaign has been prompted by rising numbers of measles cases in parts of england. you're live with bbc news. haiti's prime minister, ariel henry, has called for calm and a return to stability after agreeing to resign to make way for a transitional authority. he's been stuck in puerto rico, unable to return, as his country wrestles with growing anarchy. us officials say he s welcome to remain on us soil if he wishes. mr henry has held the unelected role since the assassination in 2021 of the country's last president. but armed groups have been calling

for him to step down, leading to widespread violence. news of his resignation came during a high—level meeting of the caribbean community injamaica. we are pleased to announce paving the way for a peaceful transition of power. continuity of governance and an action plan for near—term security, and the road to free and fair elections. it further seeks to assure that haiti will be governed by the rule of law. this commitment reflects hajj compromises among a diverse coalition of actors who have put their country above all differences. to that end, we acknowledge the resignation of prime minister ariel henry. speaking at the caricom talks injamaica, the us secretary of state, antony blinken,

announced a multimillion dollar aid package for haiti. what we've seen in recent days, again, should remind us that the already challenging and difficult security situation has now deteriorated even further and makes the multinational support mission even more important than ever. the united nations security council has reaffirmed that, and reaffirmed a collective commitment to deploy it as quickly as possible. given this increasingly urgent need, i'm announcing today that the united states department of defense is doubling its approved support for the mission from $100 million to $200 million, and that brings the total us support to $300 million for this effort. i'm also announcing additional humanitarian assistance for the people of haiti. $33 million to further support their health and food security. now, all of us know that only the haitian people can — only the haitian people should —

determine their own future. dr christopher sabatini is senior fellow for latin america at international affairs at the think tank chatham house. he gave this assessment of the situation in haiti. it's difficult. right now, you're looking at gangs that control almost all of port—au—prince. they control all the major... most of the major routes outside port—au—prince, which will make delivering humanitarian assistance almost impossible. already, about 60% of the humanitarian assistance that had been delivered to haitians in the interior of the country was controlled by the gangs, was delivered by the gangs, seized and then delivered. and in this case, too, you've got a unified group of gangs that are threatening to topple the government, they've attacked the airport. they prevented henry from landing. they had attacked police stations, the interior ministry, and even thrown molotov cocktails at the presidential palace. so they have to establish some control even before they can begin to create this transitional council and deliver humanitarian assistance.

the un secretary general has again called for a ramadan ceasefire in sudan. it's suffering from the biggest displacement crisis in the world, and aid agencies warn it risks becoming the world's largest hunger crisis. reports say a top general in sudan's army rejected a ramadan ceasefire ? unless the rival rsf paramilitary group leaves civilian and public sites. us officials are pushing to open more land routes for aid from chad — the army had closed access points, saying the rsf was using it to transport weapons, and has only re—opened one. the fighting must end for the sake of the sudanese people, who face hunger, horrors and untold hardships. in gaza, in sudan and beyond, it's time for peace. i call on political, religious and community leaders everywhere to do everything in their power to make this holy period a time

for empathy, action and peace. earlier the bbc spoke to michael dunford, the world food programme's regional director for eastern africa. he told us about the severity of the situation in sudan. we have an extraordinary problem on our hands in sudan at the moment, not only inside the country, but also across the region. 8.4 million people displaced inside, another 1.9 million refugees escaping into places like chad and south sudan — countries that don't really have the capacity to meet their needs. the international community must put pressure on all parties to the conflict, to ceasefire, as we've just heard from the secretary general. it's essential that we have a ceasefire which would allow humanitarian organisations such as the world food programme to scale up our operations massively. and that is the only thing that is going to provide any ability to prevent the hunger crisis that is looming as we speak. we're all coming up next month to the one year anniversary

of the start of the conflict, and all of the efforts to try and impose or agree a ceasefire or to allow the humanitarian access thus far have not succeeded. but we can't give up hope. we need to continue to put pressure and we need key members of the security council and others to ensure that progress is being made because without an end to the conflict. we are facing a devastating catastrophe in sudan. the uk government is backing a new generation of gas—fired power stations — which they say will help prevent the risk of blackouts. the new plants will replace stations that are due to expire. but environmentalists say it's a backward step. our climate editorjustin rowlatt said the replacements are not a surprise. i said the replacements are not a surrise. ~ ., , . surprise. i think it was expected the uk would — surprise. i think it was expected the uk would replace _ surprise. i think it was expected the uk would replace its - surprise. i think it was expected | the uk would replace its existing gas fleet as they reach the end of

their lives. we were surprised to see an announcement the government was doing this and they have confirmed these will not be fitted with carbon capture and storage as standard so they will not be capturing the co2 emissions to prevent climate change, and some environmentalists say that will make it difficult to achieve net zero and patience, something the government has pushed back quite hard on. they say they are doing very well and believe they will continue to meet the targets they have set and this will not be a bump in the road in terms of cutting emissions. what will not be a bump in the road in terms of cutting emissions. what is the main justification? _ terms of cutting emissions. what is the mainjustification? energy - the main justification? energy security? the mainjustification? energy security? 1ng the main “ustification? energy securi ? r , . the main “ustification? energy securi 7: , . . , security? as we switch increasingly to renewable _ security? as we switch increasingly to renewable power, _ security? as we switch increasingly to renewable power, obviously - security? as we switch increasingly| to renewable power, obviously they are more intermittent, renewable power only delivers energy when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing and it has always been recognised that the need for power from other sources to fill in the gaps, if you like. that is predominantly done by gas power and

obviously the ageing gas fleet as it gets order, gas—fired power stations need to be replaced, the government says they will replace them with more flexible ones that are capable to meet those peaks and troughs of demands and will be able to operate for a single hour if necessary to fill in behind renewables. they say they will change the law so they can be retrofitted to hydrogen perhaps or maybe carbon capture and storage in the future. it was interesting speaking to the labour party, they accepted that they would adopt a similar policy, reducing unabated, they call them, without carbon capture and storage, new gas plants as the existing fleet ages, and accept there will be a limited use only of hydrogen and carbon capture and storage, those low carbon options. at the point both parties which make it increasingly as we move towards the renewable future, less and less gas will be needed, it

will fill in the gaps when we do not have enough wind or solar and therefore become an increasingly small part of the uk's energy mix. justin rowlatt. airbnb says it will ban most indoor security cameras at its listed properties following complaints they have been found in areas where rae guest would expect privacy. they had been allowed in common areas like hallways and living rooms of clearly listed and —— clearly displayed and listed in the property description. the changes will come into play in april. reports from romania say the controversial influencer andrew tate — and his brother tristan — have been arresteed on uk sex abuse charges. tate, a self—proclaimed misogynist, and his brother, deny all the allegations. they also face separate rape and human trafficking charges in romania — which they also deny. earlier i spoke to our corresponded nick beake. brute earlier i spoke to our corresponded nick lteake-— nick beake. we have confirmation from the romanian _ nick beake. we have confirmation from the romanian authorities - nick beake. we have confirmation | from the romanian authorities and also some representatives for the tate brothers. police in the

remaining capital, bucharest, said they arrested the pair last night just after around 11 o'clock local time and they said that was because of concerns over alleged sexual offences committed in the united kingdom. apparently a european arrest warrant request for one to be carried out was it was issued by the british authorities and what happened was a prosecutor in romania decided the brothers be detained for 24 decided the brothers be detained for 2h hours, that is what the 2a hours, that is what the authorities are saying. in terms of representatives for the tate brothers they put out a lengthy statement saying these charges relate to between 2012 and 2015 and these representatives claim they were previously considered by british police and the british authorities, british prosecutors, and no action was taken. that has not been confirmed but this is what the two sides of the story, two key

players of the story, are saying today. do we know == players of the story, are saying today. do we knov_ players of the story, are saying today. do we know -- what will ha en today. do we know -- what will happen next — today. do we know -- what will happen next in _ today. do we know -- what will happen next in terms _ today. do we know -- what will happen next in terms of- today. do we know -- what will happen next in terms of being l happen next in terms of being deported, orwhat happen next in terms of being deported, or what will happen next? it is hard to say with certainty but certainly the legal system in romania will play out. an appeal court in the capital bucharest will consider the request made by the british authorities for extradition. it does not seem that this will be an open and shut decision made in a matter of hours today. even if it were to go against the tate brothers it would seem they have the right of appeal and one legal expert in romania says that could take up to 60 days, so it will not be a swift process but the background that quite a few viewers may recall, there have been a number of allegations made against both brothers, they have been injail in romania over alleged trafficking and

sexual offences, they were moved to house arrest and basically told they had to stay within the country but would not have to be monitored all the time. what is significant and new is this relates to alleged offences that took place in the united kingdom. representatives for the two brothers had said these outdated old charges and they strenuously deny they connected them and said they have not done anything wrong at all and have faith in the legal system. wrong at all and have faith in the legalsystem. but wrong at all and have faith in the legal system. but as we were saying, the legal process will play out in romania even though this latest development seems to have come from the uk and the possible investigations that british police have been carrying out there. hick have been carrying out there. nick beake reporting. _ have been carrying out there. nick beake reporting. singer songwriter bea ke reporting. singer songwriter eric beake reporting. singer songwriter eric carmen, known for their hit song all by myself, has died. it became one of celine dion's biggest hits when she covered it and it

the heaviest rain across england and wales, and that will be quite slow to clear. and as we go through this week, although it's turning milder, there will be spells of rain. now, if we take a look at the rainfall accumulation chart, you can see the key is here. we've got a lot of dark blues in the chart, meaning 20 to 30 millimetres of rainfall. but locally we've got the bright greens, which is even more than that, and it's falling an already saturated ground, exacerbating the risk of localised flooding. so a lot of cloud on the cards today. for most of us it's been producing some rain. but even as the rain pushes steadily eastwards behind it will have a legacy of cloud, murky, dank conditions, hill and coastal mist and fog. the brightest skies with some sunshine will be across the far north of scotland. temperature wise, seven in lerwick to 13 in belfast, birmingham, london and plymouth. now as we go through the evening and overnight, we start off on a largely dry note, but we've got two weather fronts.

here's the first one pushing eastwards, taking some rain. here's the second one moving south—eastwards, bringing heavier rain across scotland and northern ireland, eventually into the far north of northern england. the wind picking up behind it, but a very mild night ahead of it. so tomorrow we start off with this rain again, slowly sinking southwards. there will still be a fair bit of cloud ahead of it, but we'll see some breaks in the cloud tomorrow with some sunshine. whereas for scotland and northern ireland it's going to be windy with sunshine and showers, gales across the far north, temperatures 8 to 15 degrees. but in the sunshine in the south—east, we might see a little bit higher than that. wednesday night into thursday, our weather front retreats northwards once again taking its rain with it. there's another one coming in from the atlantic as well. so thursday is looking fairly cloudy, wet as the rain moves northwards. showery rain coming in from the west pushing eastwards. these are the temperatures — eight to about 16 degrees north to south. again, in any breaks in that cloud, we might see a little bit higher. and that's illustrated here.

we've got this south—westerly wind coming in across much of the country, but note how we've got more of a north—westerly in the far north. so here temperatures will dip temporarily. so the outlook remains unsettled with rain or showers.
