apologies for problems with the automation and pictures there. we start with breaking news in gaza, with more details emerging of an explosion at a un relief agency warehouse, in rafah in southern gaza. the hamas—run health ministry says, five people have been killed, with more wounded. these are pictures verified by the bbc, filmed at a nearby hospital, where casualties were taken. israel has not commented so far on the incident. it comes as the us and others continue to urge israel, not to launch a full scale assault on rafah, where over a million palestinians have taken shelter in recent weeks. let me show you pictures of the warehouse itself that we're talking about. these taken in the immediate aftermath. those were the pictures from inside. a lot of the images are too graphic to broadcast. let's speak to unrwa's director

is a distribution centre for food and also a warehouse where we store food supplies and other critical supplies. we know that it is the israeli forces who were responsible. it happened this morning. our teams were on site and they reported back their casualties. it comes at a critical time as hunger spreads across the gaza strip and as famine looms in some parts of gaza, including in the north. in looms in some parts of gaza, including in the north. in terms of a factual question, _ including in the north. in terms of a factual question, to _ including in the north. in terms of a factual question, to use - including in the north. in terms of a factual question, to use an - including in the north. in terms of l a factual question, to use an agency supply, the coordinates to the israelis exactly where each of these warehouses are in the gaza strip in rafah? , ., , . rafah? yes, of course, matthew. we share coordinates _

aid into the gaza strip, at the moment most of it, well, all of it in fact, comes in at the southern tip, through the rafah crossing, and also the israeli controlled crossing. we have seen problems with aid convoys when they get in there because people are so desperate that they go to any lengths they can to actually get some of the food and aid on the trucks. we saw that terrible situation where people were crushed, some of them, under the wheels of trucks. others were shot by israeli forces who saw, they said, crowds of people approaching and panicked. that's really problematic, not only to get aid around the lower part of the strip, but when it comes to going further north, logistically it is an enormous challenge. what they have been pushing for is actually routes further north, ways they can get in perhaps through gates in the security fence. the aid that's on its way from cyprus, we have talked repeatedly about the ship that's on

its way, the barge being towed carrying 200 tonnes of humanitarian aid. that we know will go straight to the north. the problem there is that gaza doesn't have any port of any kind, so that's why world central kitchen, the charity that are sending those meals across our using rubble from destroyed buildings to try to build some sort ofjetty buildings to try to build some sort of jetty they can buildings to try to build some sort ofjetty they can use to off—load aid. but again, exactly the same problems will remain because potentially when people see the aid coming, people who are desperate, people whose children have no food, what are the chances they will attempt to try to get that food as it comes ashore before it is distributed? so there are lots of questions about security and logistics. we have seen the aid drops, when thejordanian air force, and the us military is now involved as well, we have seen those airdrops happen around once a day at around one o'clock local time, but again there was a day when reportedly five people were killed by one of the

pallets because the parachute didn't open properly on the way to the ground. again, people's desperation means they are waiting for these to drop so they can take the aid as soon as possible. all of these things taken together, it illustrates some of the problem is and why they are looking for different kinds of answers to solve them. ~ , ., ., ., them. while you are with me, one more question _ them. while you are with me, one more question about _ them. while you are with me, one more question about the - them. while you are with me, one more question about the growing l more question about the growing tension again in eastjerusalem and the west bank. tell me more about that. . �* , ~ the west bank. tell me more about that. ., �* , . ., , ., that. that's right. we are 'ust a few da s that. that's right. we are 'ust a few days into i that. that's right. we are 'ust a few days into ramadan. h that. that's right. we are just a few days into ramadan. don't l that. that's right. we are just a - few days into ramadan. don't forget there was a lot of effort being made internationally to try to get some sort of humanitarian ceasefire into play by the start of ramadan. we are a couple of days in now and even though the talks are still happening and channels are still open, there is no sign that an imminent deal is on the table. in the meantime, as you say, things remained very tense overnight. reportedly five palestinians were killed by israeli

security forces, including a 13—year—old boy. we saw video circulating on social media about that particular incident. we see the boy holding a firework, it looks like he will throw it towards israeli police but then you see the boys shot, he falls to the ground and in subsequent videos circulating you see him lying on the floor. this is something, tensions in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem have been high since the 7th of october and since the war began. we saw this morning at one checkpoint on the outskirts of jerusalem, a palestinian reportedly 15 years old carry out a stabbing attack in which two members of the israeli security forces were injured. as we move towards the first friday prayers of ramadan, always a time when tensions are high and we have seen violent clashes around the al aqsa mosque in the old city ofjerusalem in recent years, security is tightened and i have seen it myself injerusalem, additional security forces put in. i

know a lot of focus and attention is being paid there over the next few days. being paid there over the next few da s. �* ., �* days. anna foster in bethlehem, thank you- _ days. anna foster in bethlehem, thank you. here, _ days. anna foster in bethlehem, thank you. here, rishi— days. anna foster in bethlehem, thank you. here, rishi sunak - days. anna foster in bethlehem, j thank you. here, rishi sunak has told the house of commons that alleged comments made by the conservative party donor frank hester were wrong and racist. frank hester were wrong and racist. frank hester is reported to have said their mp diane abbott made him want to hate all black women and she should be shot. at prime minister's questions today the labour leader sir keir starmer asked rishi sunak if he was proud to be bankrolled by someone using racist and misogynistic language. here is our political correspondent damian grammaticas. will you give the money back, prime minister? £10 million, it's a huge amount of money and a political problem for rishi sunak. he has now criticised remarks said to be made by the donor

frank hester as racist. sir keir starmer seized on that. is the prime minister proud to be bankrolled by someone using racist and misogynist language when he says the member for hackney north and stoke newington "makes you want to hate all black women"? mr speaker, the alleged comments were wrong, they were racist and he has now... as i said, the comments were wrong and they were racist and he has rightly apologised for them and that remorse should be accepted, mr speaker. there is no place for racism in britain and the government that i lead is living proof of that. in november the prime minister accepted a non—cash donation . to the tune of £15,000 from frank hester for. the use of his helicopter. so will he reimburse him? yes or no? _ no, mrspeaker. and i am pleased that the gentleman is supporting a party that represents one of the most diverse governments in this country's history, led by this country's first british asian prime minister. the jeopardy for rishi sunak here is twofold. first, on the money, having said the comments

from mr hester were racist, can he reallyjustify holding onto the money? and then his leadership. his critics say he is buffeted by events, weak and inconsistent. after the guardian reported frank hester�*s alleged comments, he said he accepted he was rude about diane abbott in a private meeting several years ago, but his criticism had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin. so, another question... if mr hester said today i would like to give you another £10 million, would you take it? on the basis we don't believe mr hester is racist, yes. - the donations were, mr hester has said, because he liked rishi sunak and his leadership, but others in the party don't want the money. i would think about the company i kept and i would give that money back. i have to give you my view rather than what the party should do. ms abbott is not currently sitting as a labour mp because of comments she made saying irish, jewish and traveller people were not subject to racism all their lives.

she has apologised and the comments are being investigated. she was not given the opportunity to ask rishi sunak a question herself and has reported mr hester�*s alleged comments to the police unit responsible for mps' safety. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. waron war on that story through the course of the programme. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a34—year—old man has beenjailed for at least 21 years for the murder of at least 21 years for the murder of a man in newton abbey in northern ireland two years ago. 54—year—old roy reynolds was beaten and stabbed to death. his remains... taken to a reservoir. thejudge to death. his remains... taken to a reservoir. the judge described the murder as merciless and brutal in the extreme to stop official figures show hundreds of refugees were left homeless in london during a cold snap after being evicted from home office accommodation. london council said more than 300

refugees had to sleep rough in january because their claims had been closed. the home office said it was working with authorities to improve the system. a head teacher in southampton has admitted he is disgusted by the state of the food served at his own school. in a despairing letter to parents, jason ashley, head of redbridge community school in southampton, said meals are served in its canteen were completely unacceptable and asked how difficult is it to make a baked potato? you're live with bbc news. lithuania has blamed russia for attacking a close aide of the late russian opposition figure alexei navalny. the country's president called it a pre—planned assault. this is leonid volkov, a long time ally of navalny. he was assaulted while in his car in the lithuanian capital vilnius on tuesday night. he was left with a broken arm and covered in blood. but mr volkov is not detered.

he released this video message blaming putin and urging people to carry on fighting him. translation: thank you very i much for your words of support. it's a bit tough but never mind, we'll get over it. i was pleased to read what you had written to me. even more so because while i was reading, i knew i was still alive. they wanted to make me into a schnitzel with a meat hammer right outside my house, in the yard. the attacker hit me 15 times in my leg. surprisingly, the leg is still in one piece. it is difficult to walk but apparently the leg is not broken. my arm has been broken instead. oh, well, i'll live. the most important thing is, we will continue working and we will not surrender. i am not ready to make any comments except for this. it was another obvious, typical, classic gangster hello from putin, from the gangster petersburg. vladimir vladimirovich, hello to you, too. what else can i say? continue working against putin. that's what needs to be done. let's go on.

joining me now is bill browder, author of freezing order: surviving putin's wrath. he is a leading campaigner to expose russian corruption and human rights abuses. welcome to the programme. we heard lee in invoke of clear there, this was an obvious, typical gangster greeting from vladimir putin. is that we what we have seen here? absolutely no question. a couple of weeks ago putin killed alexei navalny. there have been almost no serious consequences, and so putin is now flexing his muscles outside the country and this is what putin does, he doesn'tjust target one person, he targets everyone around them and this lee and ed attack is clearly some type of russian operation ordered by vladimir putin and those around him. is operation ordered by vladimir putin and those around him.— operation ordered by vladimir putin and those around him. is the broader wor that

by what they have seen playing out. they will be they should be. the basic message putin wants to send to everybody is that you are not safe anywhere in the world. this message is notjust anywhere in the world. this message is not just for the anywhere in the world. this message is notjust for the colleagues of alexei navalny but everyone. he wants people to be scared, he wants politicians to be scared, he wants activists to be scared, russians elsewhere to be scared. find activists to be scared, russians elsewhere to be scared.- activists to be scared, russians elsewhere to be scared. and in that sense, is elsewhere to be scared. and in that sense. is that _ elsewhere to be scared. and in that sense, is that working? _ elsewhere to be scared. and in thatj sense, is that working? absolutely, it works very _ sense, is that working? absolutely, it works very perfectly. _ sense, is that working? absolutely, it works very perfectly. he - sense, is that working? absolutely, it works very perfectly. he sends i it works very perfectly. he sends these messages, very symbolic messages, it is a mafia style think you don't have to kill or attack everybody, just a few highly symbolic people and everybody gets the message, and the message has been generated loud and clear, that's what he wants to tell everybody. untilwe that's what he wants to tell everybody. until we stand up to him and punish him for doing these things he will carry on. aha, and punish him for doing these things he will carry on.- things he will carry on. a final thou~ht, things he will carry on. a final thought. and _ things he will carry on. a final thought, and you _ things he will carry on. a final thought, and you touched - things he will carry on. a final thought, and you touched on| things he will carry on. a finall thought, and you touched on it twice, you ended that thought on where i want to go, you are clearly saying not enough was done after the

welcome to the programme. no great surprise it is a rematch, but what are your headline thoughts now it has been confirmed? this is something that public polling said they didn't want to happen but was inevitable. for everyone who understands the central dynamics of the politics of both parties. we now have biden versus trump round two but very different circumstances. and very different dynamics as well. biden now is the incumbent president with a record, a rising economy behind him, and trump now facing many trials for criminal felonies and trying to purge his party to make itjust reflect his

own maga faction. this is a very different circumstance to the last 2020 election stop what you told our producer circumstances will change everything. producer circumstances will change eve hina. ~ ., producer circumstances will change eve hina. ~ . ., producer circumstances will change eve hina. . ., _ everything. what did you mean by that? in everything. what did you mean by that? in the _ everything. what did you mean by that? in the beginning, _ everything. what did you mean by that? in the beginning, trump- everything. what did you mean by l that? in the beginning, trump faces many trials- — that? in the beginning, trump faces many trials. the _ that? in the beginning, trump faces many trials. the first _ that? in the beginning, trump faces many trials. the first trial _ that? in the beginning, trump faces many trials. the first trial starts - many trials. the first trial starts in 12 days in manhattan for election fraud and paying hush money to a pornography star. we will see if he is convicted. and then what the public, how the electorate responds. the nikki haley candidacy was important in showing the weaknesses of the trump bid. 30% of republicans expressed themselves through the nikki haley candidacy as saying they would not vote for trump if he is a convicted criminal. so we will see if that's true. the other circumstances, the economy. the economy in the united states is

rising, inflation is falling, wages are rising. the wind should be at biden's back. there is a disconnect between how the public is responding, there is some cognitive dissonance between the reality of the economy improving and the public feeling it is still mired in difficulty. so we will see if biden can move that at all to help him. and a brief answer on this because you have touched on it, but i was intrigued that in georgia for example, 14% of delegates still voted for nikki haley even though she dropped out. how crucial come november will it to be where those nikki haley supporters actually end up? nikki haley supporters actually end u - ? , nikki haley supporters actually end u . ? , . ., , . , up? they could be decisive in the election. the _ up? they could be decisive in the election. the election _ up? they could be decisive in the election. the election will- up? they could be decisive in the election. the election will be - election. the election will be determined by a small number of swing states and in those states, including georgia as you mentioned, that number of voters could

determine the outcome. and if those nikki haley voters decides not to vote for trump and enough of them vote for trump and enough of them vote for trump and enough of them vote for biden they could tip the election. in vote for biden they could tip the election. , ., ., , election. in terms of what this election. in terms of what this election will _ election. in terms of what this election will be _ election. in terms of what this election will be fought - election. in terms of what this election will be fought on, - election. in terms of what this j election will be fought on, you talked about the economy, obviously the broader issue is massive at the moment. how much do you think the threat to democracy will also play in november and threat to democracy will also play in novemberand in threat to democracy will also play in november and in the run up to it? well, the border issue has been blocked in the congress. the republicans in the senate and the democrats have forged a bill that biden has agreed to stop it is a very conservative bill. the democrats have conceded many things on it, but trump called the speaker of the house mikejohnson and told him not to bring the bill up for a vote. it would pass if it was allowed to come to the floor of the house. trump once the issue rather

than the solution. so there is a solution here but it is being stymied by trump's ambition. on the border we are facing a political paralysis that i don't see overcoming. b. paralysis that i don't see overcoming.— paralysis that i don't see overcomina. �* ., ., ., overcoming. a final thought, how im ortant overcoming. a final thought, how important will— overcoming. a final thought, how important will money _ overcoming. a final thought, how important will money be - overcoming. a final thought, how important will money be on - overcoming. a final thought, how important will money be on the i overcoming. a final thought, how i important will money be on the run up important will money be on the run up over the next few months into november because biden is vastly outstripping the trump team and the money raised so far at the moment but historically hillary clinton outspent donald trump and that still didn't actually tip the result that way. didn't actually tip the result that wa . , didn't actually tip the result that wa , , ., , didn't actually tip the result that wa . , ., , ., ., , didn't actually tip the result that wa. ., way. trump has enormous financial roblems, way. trump has enormous financial problems. both _ way. trump has enormous financial problems, both personal— way. trump has enormous financial problems, both personal and - problems, both personal and political. personally, he owes more than half a billion dollars in fines, in the defamation fraud against ejean carroll he has used

all the money he has raised for his legal defence. his many trials are very expensive and he is being dragged, he has taken over the republican national committee and installed his daughter—in—law as the co—chairman, who said she would use it only to promote him. this week they essentially liquidated the republican national committee and fired more than 60 people. there was a vast purge to turn it into a trump operation and not really a party operation. and that may have very far reaching consequences. biden is raising a big deal of money, it has not yet been applied through advertising on television and we will see what biden does with that money. i think very soon. irate will see what biden does with that money. i think very soon. we have to ended there. — money. i think very soon. we have to ended there, we _ money. i think very soon. we have to ended there, we are _ money. i think very soon. we have to ended there, we are out _ money. i think very soon. we have to ended there, we are out of— money. i think very soon. we have to ended there, we are out of time - money. i think very soon. we have to ended there, we are out of time but i ended there, we are out of time but thank you.

hello. thanks forjoining me. it's a bit of a mixed bag out there. on the one hand, it's going to be relatively mild over the next two or three days. but on top of that, we've also got a lot of cloud and some really quite heavy rain today, especially across parts of wales and also the north of england. snowdonia could see as much as 100 millimeters of rain over the next couple of days. so really wet there. let's have a look at the forecast, then, as we go through the course of the afternoon. that narrow but very heavy band of rain from northern wales affecting parts of the pennines as well. to the south of the weather front, it's really mild, temperatures around 15 degrees in some spots. to the north of the weather front, it's a little less mild, around 12 degrees in the lowlands of scotland. and very windy here in the north west of scotland through this afternoon and into this evening, gusts of wind, 60, maybe even 70 miles an hour in some exposed coasts. but back to that rain. here's a weather front. actually, it tends to move northwards, this next weather front, through thursday morning.

so the heavy rain will transfer into northern ireland and also southern parts of scotland. and also, to the west, we'll have showers spreading in, being carried by this mild south—westerly wind. and you really will notice the mild weather tomorrow. in fact, in some spots, particularly across the east midlands into east anglia, lincolnshire, mid—teens — 16, maybe even 17 celsius in one or two areas. and the forecast for tomorrow evening shows the wettest of our weather across scotland. really quite heavy, persistent rain. rest of the country, it'll be a mixture of clear spells and occasional showers. now, this is friday's weather map. the isobars are pointing from the north to the south, so we're on the other side of an area of low pressure, so our winds will be coming in from the north. so i think friday is going to feel a little colder, particularly in the north. it's a colder direction. so temperatures here i think around single figures for edinburgh, for newcastle, but in the south still relatively mild, around 11

to 1a degrees celsius, and a mixture of sunny spells and showers. friday night into saturday is going to bring a touch of frost, and then the outlook really does show that mixed bag of weather continuing but staying relatively mild in the south. bye— bye.
