3:30 pm
near the israeli border. in a statement, the un said it was investigating the origin of the blast and that the targeting of its observers was "unacceptable." a second ship carrying food aid to the gaza strip has set sail from cyprus. the vessel is towing a platform loaded with 400 tonnes of supplies. on the first maritime mission, a ship carrying 200 tonnes moored alongside a makeshiftjetty off the gaza coast. affected by the arrest and resignation of the dup leader, sirjeffrey donaldson, after allegations of rape and historical sex offences, which he denies. the new interim leader of the dup says the revelation has been devastating. let's get more now on northern ireland, where politics has been thrown into turmoil with the news that the leader of the democratic unionist party,
3:31 pm
sirjeffrey donaldson, has resigned after being charged with rape and other historical sexual offences. he was arrested on thursday along with a 57—year—old woman, who's been charged with aiding and abetting additional offences. they'll both appear in court next month. sirjeffrey is northern ireland's longest—serving mp at westminster. he says he'll contest the charges. earlier i spoke to ben lowry, editor of the unionist newspaper the belfast news letter. i asked him how the dup have reacted to the news. well, in a way, it is difficult to find out, because i do edit a unionist daily newspaper, so we have good contacts with dup, and we were trying yesterday to phone everybody we could think of, and most of the phone calls were ringing out. so there wasn't enthusiasm to talk to the press, even to elements of the press that they speak a lot with. but we did of course get hold of some people in dup. and i think the easiest way to describe it is they are reeling. i mean, this is a real bolt from the blue.
3:32 pm
and i think when you arrest... i actually talked to somebody who was talking to sirjeffrey at the beginning of the week, found him in great form, he was optimistic about northern ireland, he was in good form and so on, so when there are conspiracy theories that this was all known about, or known about by the government, even when we have talked to people who have a very good sense of what has happening in the undergrowth, there was no sense of this coming, and the fact that the police arrived at sirjeffrey�*s house at six o'clock in the morning does rather suggest that they wanted an element of surprise, so everyone is shocked and trying to come to terms with it. so there is an interim leader who has been appointed. how is gavin robinson going to manage to deal with a party which wasn't particularly all united in backing the deal that then restored stormont? i think it's fair to say that unionism has been in really serious confusion for quite a few years. there are a lot of things going on.
3:33 pm
remember that there's the possibility that we have a border poll as well, we had an independence vote in scotland ten years ago and there's always the possibility of scotland leaving the uk, which would be a very big problem for unionists here. so there were already pre—existing problems that were exacerbated by brexit with unionists. some supporting brexit, most, i should say, and many not, thinking it was a risk to the uk. and then there was this division into three, because there were other things going on. there's attitudes to matters such as same—sex relationships and so on, and abortion, and a big divide within unionism between liberals and conservatives, and this has played out into three parties, which was difficult enough for the dup, it has remained the biggest party. and then you have a split within the party, as you say, over the huge matter of an irish sea border, this is an internal barrier to trade in the uk, something which would have been unthinkable for the first 100 years of northern ireland's existence. and a big disagreement about whether or not to go stormont. and then on top of that, you have the leader
3:34 pm
suddenly resigning. so, in very long answer to your question about the interim leader, gavin robinson, this a young, intelligent man, a barrister, not he's not even a0 yet — he has one heck of a job ahead of him. and in that respect, how much of a blow is this to the wider unionist movement? i think it's a very significant blow. i did say that i edit a unionist paper, and i don't think unionist morale is great and i don't think it has been for years and i wouldn't make it any worse. but it is a very big blow, i think it's a shock to northern ireland. sirjeffrey donaldson is a highly respected figure. i think it's important to continue to talk in the present tense about that, because as we have found with mps, at least one of whom has actually gone to trial and been acquitted, everyone is innocent until proven otherwise. but it is a blow for northern ireland, he was a very diplomatic figure, and it is an immense blow for unionism.
3:35 pm
i suppose you could say unionism is in something of the turmoil that the conservative party is in. it has challenges from reform uk, it has liberals within it, it is facing a very difficult election. but these darkest moments for parties, the conservative party went there in 1997, are followed by much better moments, often followed by much better moments, so yes, it is a blow for unionism. this year, easter coincides with ramadan and both are taking place under the shadow of the israel—hamas war. this was the scene on good friday injerusalem, with fewer pilgrims walking the route through the walled old city that christians believe jesus took to his crucifixion. earlier i spoke to the reverend dr munther isaac, who is the pastor of the evangelical lutheran christmas church in bethlehem. he spoke about how different it is this year for christians. it is a very, very difficult for easter, given the war in gaza, and the difficulties
3:36 pm
that our siblings and friends are going through with the severity of the war and the starvation. and here in bethlehem it is not easy as well. restrictions are harder than ever. every year it is hard to getjerusalem, but this year we have been under a strict siege in bethlehem since the war began on october 7th, which left a very heavy toll, notjust on the economy, but spiritually and psychologically on us, again especially with the war that is happening in gaza. how has the church decided to manage the situation? we are trying our best to encourage the faithful, prayer and faith seem to be the only thing we have as palestinians these days. because this war has taken so much from us, especially in gaza.
3:37 pm
and so easter gives us the opportunity to think of the meaning, not just of suffering, absolutely the cross obviously is the symbol of suffering and pain, but it is suffering with a purpose, and a suffering that we know would ultimately lead to life and light and resurrection. so we are trying to encourage the faithful, inspired by our faith, and by the easter story itself. tell us more about the restrictions in place at the moment, and whether people are trying to get to the places of worship, or whether they have just decided to give up on it. you can't, you need a permit from the israeli military. we still live under israeli occupation. this is one of the things that many people don't get in the west, that the israeli military control is almost everything here. to go tojerusalem from bethlehem, and jerusalem is literally 20 minutes away from where i live,
3:38 pm
there is a wall that separates bethlehem from jerusalem, and there are checkpoints. and to get through the checkpoint tojerusalem you need a permit from the military, and it is not easy to get. i do not have that permit these days. the majority of palestinians do not have it. even in previous years it has always been difficult to get it unless you have work, or you can prove that you work with an international agency. but even restrictions to go to ramallah are difficult. the roads connecting palestinian towns right now, which are also controlled by israel, have seen restrictions, and new checkpoints, blockades on some roads that we cannot drive. this has been more difficult since october 7th than it was before then. in terms of christians celebrating easter, what are your plans? we are going to church.
3:39 pm
we can go tojerusalem. so everyone will celebrate in their own towns and cities. usually, especially on palm sunday and holy saturday, we have more celebrations in the streets, more celebrations with scout groups, none of that is taking place this year. 0ur prayers and coming together as families will be the focus of this year's easter. we will try to encourage those who have loved ones still in gaza and are concerned about them by being a family away from family for them here in bethlehem. a plethora of household bills are due to increase on monday, in what some are calling "awful april". while energy prices are expected to fall, everything from internet charges, to water bills and council tax are due to go up.
3:40 pm
0ur cost of living correspondent colletta smith has more details. council tax at the moment is... we are working out what the bills will mean next month for her family. there is a huge chunk of money coming outjust to live her. it is just something that is hanging over us every month. rachel is on maternity leave, so price rises are hitting them hard. it's so pennypinching, there isn't a gap at all in the salary of my husband and everything goes towards the house. what you could go back on, you do not have. totally, and that's a scary place to be. it's definitely taken away our reserves at such a crunch time. the energy might be coming down but other bills are going up, council tax over £200 every month. that's a huge hit. most councils in england
3:41 pm
are increasing their rate by 5% from the 1st of april like here in southport, but some councils in dire financial straits have been allowed to increase it by more than that. scotland is freezing council tax but in wales some areas are set for a much bigger increase. you will look like sandra bullock at the end of it. i live in a three—bedroom semi—detached house, i pay roughly £120 every month. it's a big outlay out of my pension. compared to some of my friends who live down south, _ we are paying a lot more in a lesser house. - whatever is going on in your council there will be discounts and reductions available, around 25% off if you live alone but if you have certain types of disability or if some people in your household are full—time students it's worth finding out if you qualify for a discount. when it comes to mobile and
3:42 pm
broadband charges, most companies are upping prices by around 8% from the start of april, if you are on a deal which allows for mid—contract rises. it's cheeky changing it. when you're in the middle of a fixed deal. _ yes, what you have signed on to and everything — having a mobile phone bill that will stay the same every month, guaranteed not to go up is a godsend. the key to beating this is to find out whether you are beyond the end of your contract. for a phone it's pretty easy, send a text to 85075 and you will get a message telling you your contract details and if you are beyond your contract or nearly there the likelihood is you could shop around for a better deal. for broadband, you are much more likely to have to ring them or log on to your account. when it comes to water bills in england and wales, average charges are going up by an extra £28 per year but as well as cutting back on usage, there are schemes to help.
3:43 pm
every water company offers a social tariff for people on lower incomes that can reduce your bills. what is on offer and who it applies to varies so it is worth finding out but in england and wales there is a scheme called water sure and that can reduce your bills if you're on certain types of benefit and you need to use lots of water for medical reasons or because you have three or more children of school age in the house. it's more of a worry. it's hard. everything is going up. i'm on a fixed income, i've been retired for 15 years, the money has got less and less. you can't go out for a tea and cake any more because even that has i become too expensive. round and round the garden... while gas and electricity prices are falling in april, rachel and her family expect no extra cash in their pocket and so many other price increases are coming.
3:44 pm
it's the hit �*90s show that's been revived and taken saturday nights by storm — tonight sees the grand final of this series of gladiators. the reboot made its debut to an audience of more than eight million injanuary, and tonight the lycra—clad contenders will be taking on tests of speed and strength as they aim to lift the trophy. let's take a look at the show. contender, ready? well, she's set off at a great speed here, has marie louise, and she is straight away into zone three. in red, it's finlay. all he has to do is keep his balance and get up that travellator. wesley looking more thoughtful, and he's been tackled. that'll be game over. can marie louise fare any better?
3:45 pm
she is holding her own here and she has knocked fire to her knees. burst straight into her stride straightaway and the edge proving no match for her. three points turns into six. finlay nearly got there, he might yet if he can get free. he has, he's not going to close that gap on marie louise. she is nearly at the top already. this has been some climb. she is going to get ten points. brilliant effort from marie louise. smiling wesley enjoyed himself up on that podium in the quarterfinals where he lasted 23 seconds and he is putting up a good fight again. he is already taking giant further than he has ever been in duel. joining me now is warren furman, perhaps better known as ace — one of the 1990s gladiators. and i'm alsojoined by dreya beckett, a former contestant who won her series to become a gladiators

3:51 pm
that no—one has ever heard? these are the tapes that we found... this belgian lawyer says there is just such a track, although he's keeping it under wraps for now. he'll describe it to us but he won't play it to us. it's an amazing song, a great tune, great lyrics, catchy, and i thought, "this is a planetary "alightment moment". i'm interested to hear them. the jazz musician and marvin gaye expect gary crosby is looking forward to hearing any new songs. undiscovered marvin gaye tapes would be a gift to the world - of music at this present moment — from my perspective, you know? i because we don't know — until we hear the tapes, i we actually don't know. but we are talking about - marvin gaye, one of the greatest artists of all time. there's bound to be - something of value in there. we did, though, hear a sample of ours, of private recordings.
3:52 pm
# ..but to those who wait and those... marvin gaye's voice is tuneful, his mood sometimes playful. is the tape on? thank god, because i would never remember that again! a vast collection of memorabilia has turned up in belgium because in the early �*80s, the seaside town of 0stend was a place of refuge for marvin gaye, whose life in london had spiralled out of control. when he left, the family he lived with say he left them box after box — audio cassettes, documents, notebooks, lyrics and stage costumes — theirs to dispose of as they pleased. it's a book full. that red jacket is the one marvin wore in montreux. under belgian law, the family's lawyer says they have the absolute right to sell it.
3:53 pm
the clothes and the accessories, they will be sold. any new music, though, could only be sold with the permission of marvin gaye's children. compromise is called for, says alex trappeniers. i want to reach my hand to the family because when you exploit the copyright which is in the tapes, you can't do that without the authorisation of the estate which is his three children. if his kids become aware of this — marvin gaye's children, who are his heirs — and theyjust say, "that's our dad "and, like, and morally, you should give this back"? well, morally, i'd prefer to work with them on this. if there are to be negotiations over any new material, they have yet to start. but there is at least a chance that new marvin gaye music may one day emerge to add to the legend of one of the great names
