some of the latest lines coming to us from the white house regarding the middle east because several lines are just coming on in the last minutes. the white house saying that more than 300 trucks are now into gaza yesterday. that is progress, they say. of course, a lot of pressure from washington on israel to get more aid in the. the white house saying we will keep pressing israel on the aid issue. they go on to say that they continue to review is real's last week that killed seven aid workers. that, in terms of the situation with aid and that investigation there, also talking about the negotiations that are going on for a new ceasefire and the hostage releases that are currently going on in cairo. the white house saying that the cia director is there in cairo. he has been there over the weekend, the hostage negotiations and the white house saying the proposal, a proposal has
4:42 pm
been presented to hamas and they are waiting on their response. the national security adviser is to meet on monday night with the relatives of hamas hostages at the white house. a number of american relatives, of course, involved in the 130 or so hostages still being held so a variety of lines because, of course, there have been reports the americans chairing those talks now in terms of trying to get a new ceasefire and hostage deal so those are some of the latest details coming in and we will obviously return to that as we get more. more now on the rare solar eclipse we're expecting very soon. eclipse watchers are keeping a close eye on the weather, with cloud forecast for at least some parts of the us. earlier, i spoke to the host of the solar eclipse podcast, leticia ferrer. i'v e i've been very excited since they said it was coming to texas. in doing a podcast, wrote a book among

4:44 pm
like i am a piece of it. it is knowing all this information in your head and having it coming to yourself. you mentioned dab in the middle of that answer what the wildlife, what the birds do. tell me a little bit more about that because do they go silent in the moments leading up to this, or only when the change happens question is do they get a sense that something is actually happening? they get a sense it is time to go to roost because it is getting dark. and they respond to the light changes and as it gets darker and darker and darker during the partial phases of eclipse they start preparing to roost. if you are around the place that that has crickets the crickets will start waking up to sink our frogs. so it is depending where you are. some of my favourite videos either one is in a chicken coop because the chickens all go into roost and two minutes later they get up and go back out. and you've also got the corona. what is that like westmount when you look up is that like westmount when you look up and you see this eclipse but that
4:45 pm
trim, that edge, what is that like? so i've always described them as, like angels wings lit up gossamer angel's wings just coming out from behind the sun. it is beautiful. stretching out into space. sorry, angel's wings coming out from behind the moon! but it is the son corona coming up from behind the moon and it looks like this beautiful gossamer ever—changing cloud. you see the prominences, you will see ruby red right around the room and those are the prominences shooting out from behind the moon, from the sun. but it also depends on the eclipse because, right now, we are at solar maximum and last year we were close to solar maximum and it was totally different solar eclipse. it was the point used eclipse i had ever it was like seven pointed stars in the sky. with real points. like somebody drew them. it was the most amazing eclipse on this one looked to be similar because we are still

4:47 pm
that track, if you had to the bbc website there is a lot of information that actually takes you through and plots that line, that arc that the solar eclipse will actually follow and, of course my people hoping the weather is actually going to hold out so they get the perfect to buy plenty more on that a little bit later here on our programme. the post office minister has said people responsible for the horizon it scandal should go to jail if there is evidence of wrongdoing. the public inquiry into the scandal will resume this week, with senior post office bosses among those called to give evidence. more than 900 sub—postmasters were wrongly prosecuted between 1999 and 2015 due to supposed losses flagged by the faulty it system used in its branches. aruna iyengar has this report. fenny compton this morning. very strong feeling in the community. 60 postmasters reconvened there today to take stock of where they are and grill
4:48 pm
kevin hollinrake, the post office minister. well, can i first say sorry for everybody in this room and for the thousands of people around the country? right at the back, who's there? there were questions about why compensation was taking so long. we still suffer, because all these people in this room are still- suffering as victims - and are not survivors yet. kevin hollinrake agreed the government hadn't been compensating people quickly enough. he also went further. people should be prosecuted. that's my view, and i think you and other people i've spoken to, i certainly feel, people who were within the post office and possibly further afield, should go to jail. it's been a long road. the first campaign meeting was here in 2009. eight years later, alan bates took legal action against the post office and won compensation. but much of this was eaten up in legal fees.
4:49 pm
the secret 2017 bramble report uncovered by the bbc said that fujitsu employees had the ability to amend or delete transactions entered by post office branch staff. this information wasn't revealed to postmasters during their civil case. in 2021, the court of appeal quashed the convictions of 39 subpostmasters. the year after, the public inquiry began hearing evidence. and i come from a heritage of postmasters... - for vipin patel, who was wrongly prosecuted for shortfalls in excess of £75,000 at his branch in oxfordshire, compensation is coming too late. for us, the life is slipping away. i've spent now 37 years - in post office, including my 13 years after convictions, so it feels like the - life has been wasted. the next phase of the public
4:50 pm
inquiry, which starts tomorrow, will look at who knew what at the top. arun iyengar, bbc news. a lot of lines coming through it was put at the latest, saying it is up to hamas to come through on a gaza ceasefire. those talks currently going on in cairo. the american cia director there. a lot of pressure coming on the israelis but hammers apparently have seen a new draft and of course there are also saying, the white house, there is no sign of a major ground operation in rougher being imminent. there's two important lines and those ceasefire talks. you're watching bbc news. let's turn to another story that has broken here in the uk in the last hour. two men have beenjailed for for the murder of cody fisher in a birmingham nightclub. he was stabbed to death
4:51 pm
by a masked group at the city's crane nightclub on 26 december 2022. remy gordon and kami carpenter were found guilty of murder last month. gordon will have to serve at least 26 years before he s eligible for parole and carpenter must serve a minimum term of 25 years.the court was told mr fisher was targeted for simply brushing past gordon at a busy bar two days before his death. let's just round up a few stories from around the world. the search continues off the coast of mozambique for survivors of a ferry speaking about 130 people were on board. on this 100 passengers are known to have drowned. the say some of the passengers, who include many children, where trying to flee a cholera outbreak. russia's emergency ministry says leading from the mountains are spreading. 39 regions in central russia and siberia are affected. more than 10,000 homes are underwater currently. unseasonably
4:52 pm
warm weather has caused snow to melt in the mountains, swelling weathers to the highest levels for decades. here in the uk a group of former senior diplomats and officials say the foreign office should be abolished saying it is rooted in the past. they want the ministry to be replaced by a new department for international affairs with modernised premises and fewer colonial era pictures on the walls. a new photography exhibition has opened in central london that can be enjoyed by people who are partially sighted and blind , as well as those who can see. called �*world unseen', it uses braille and audio descriptions on its artwork and shows how the world is experienced by the visually impaired. it sold out before it had even opened. leyla hayes reports. this is how most of us would see this striking photo. but this is how it could appear
4:53 pm
to someone with a visual impairment. this exhibition in somerset house means that those with sight loss can experience photography in a whole new way. just the little detail in the ears, you know, it'sjust. it's amazing. the images have been printed in 30, so they can also be touched. it's only raised a maximum of two millimetres off the surface, but yet i can feel the skin of the rhinoceros, i can feel the wound where they cut off the horn. i can feel its mouth and it's eating the grass. all this detail, it's just like, wow. each photo in the exhibition is also accompanied by a full description in braille for those who can't see. campaigners say it's about making art accessible to all. we want experiences that we can all share and we can all benefit from, and that's what inclusion is about — offering everyone a kind
4:54 pm
of equitable experience, notjust, "let's put on something for blind people." actually, what we really want is, let's try and find a way to deliver exhibitions that mean everybody can get something out of it. the new technology has enabled visually impaired mum karen to see a scan of her baby ruby for the first time. it was amazing, like, to have the experience that every other mum that has their scan in the uk is getting i could feel her nose, her eyes, what she was going to look like. and when i first had her, the first thing i did was feel her nose and was, like, "yeah, her nose feels like the scan picture does!" one of the photos was taken by blind photographer ian treherne. yeah, it makes it much more inclusive cos a lot of blind people don't really feel like they can get involved, you know, going to exhibitions — so this is, yeah, this is amazing. whether you're blind, visually impaired or fully sighted, this exhibition is bringing
4:55 pm
photography to all. a lot to keep you up—to—date with. we will have all the latest from the middle east. i'm just reading how the latest coming from the white house saying that the cia director has been in cairo over the weekend for a serious round of negotiations on securing the release of hostages and trying to get a new ceasefire so thatis and trying to get a new ceasefire so that is the latest coming from the white house. will also be live without chief international correspondent injerusalem. the latest, all the different lines on the middle east. you'll also have the middle east. you'll also have the latest on the post office scandal here in the uk. the biggest miscarriage ofjustice here in uk. the post office minister saying that people should go to jail if wrongdoing has been proven. so that is the latest on that story because we have some senior figures at the
4:56 pm
