translation: for me and my country, it is a big opportunity. and on the eve of the publication of an official inquiry, we'll take a deep dive into the uk's biggest—ever health scandal. hello, i'm anna foster. we begin in gaza, where according to the united nations, the number of palestinians displaced over the last two weeks has risen close to a million. that's the statistic from the un's agency responsible for palestinian refugees — unrwa. of that total, around 800,000 have fled from rafah, the southern city where israeli forces and hamas fighters have been battling.

most have moved to areas along the coast or north towards khan younis, another city in gaza already devastated by earlier bombardment. the head of unrwa, philippe lazzarini, said all were having to do so without any safe passage or protection and were fleeing to areas with little water or sanitation. more aid is starting to arrive in gaza. local officials say that as many as 150 trucks a day are now coming through rafah from egypt, after the crossing point, which was closed when israeli troops advanced, re—opened. and humanitarian supplies delivered via the us—built pier are being taken to communities in the north of the territory. the volume of aid is far short of that that was getting into gaza before the war began. meanwhile, fighting continues across gaza. these pictures were filmed near the northern perimeter with israel. the israeli military says it hit more than 70 targets with air strikes on saturday and that 50 militants

were killed, and dozens of tunnel shafts were located in eastern rafah. meanwhile, there are more visible signs of the tension at the heart of the israeli government over the operation in gaza. benny gantz, a member of the war cabinet since the 7th of october attacks, threatened to withdraw his party from the coalition unless the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, spells out in the next three weeks a clear strategy for the war and its aftermath. here's a little of what he had to say in a televised address. something has gone wrong, essential decisions were not taken. acts of leadership insured to require victory were not handed out. fix, insured to require victory were not handed out.— not handed out. a small minority _ not handed out. a small minority has _ not handed out. a small minority has taken - not handed out. a small minority has taken over| not handed out. a small. minority has taken over the command bridge of the israeli ship and is leading to a wall of rocks. while israeli soldiers are displaying incredible bravery in our own, some of those who sent them to battle are acting with cowardice and a lack of responsibility. security will remain in our hands only, we

will not allow any outside power to put a palestinian state on us. in israel, the protests by relatives and friends of the hostages who were taken by hamas on the 7th of october continued on saturday night. tens of thousands of people joined the latest demonstration in tel aviv, where there are also calls for fresh elections. there were some scuffles as police tried to remove protesters who were blocking one of the main highways in the city. this demonstration came after a week in which the bodies of four israeli and two thai hostages were recovered in gaza. with me is said shehata from bbc arabic. let's talk about those numbers of people being displaced we were reflecting on, unrwa says nayler nearly a million but these are people displaced for these are people displaced for the first time during this year? the first time during this ear? ., ., , year? some of them have been dislaced year? some of them have been displaced 15 _ year? some of them have been displaced 15 or _ year? some of them have been displaced 15 or 20 _ year? some of them have been displaced 15 or 20 times - year? some of them have been displaced 15 or 20 times since l displaced 15 or 20 times since october, 800,000 is a big 0ctober, 800,000 is a big number but is like half of the

people living unrwa five including displaced people from north and east of gaza since october, to move to a very small area of the coast in the centre of gaza, is already overwhelmed by many displaced people. some of them most of them from rafah according to bbc arabic, they have no tents and no facilities, even some of them were injured on the way from rafah to this area, it is even bad to go to their what is called the humanitarian areas is riskyjourney. to add to that the lack of aid to them from since the start of the operation, israeli operation inside rafah, six of may, there is more pressure on them there are only a few because they closed the karim shalom crossing and rafah crossing so there is little going there.

even with the floating peer sent by the us army, the aid, it is minimaland sent by the us army, the aid, it is minimal and the health situation with the hospitals are closed because there is no fuel, the misery of the displaced people is ongoing, and in the light of the continuing israeli operation in rafah. also the united nations do not go to rafah because of the full—scale invasion because of the humanitarian disaster there. ~ ., ., �* there. we heard from ben against. — there. we heard from ben against, but _ there. we heard from ben against, but since - there. we heard from ben against, but since seven l against, but since seven 0ctober against, but since seven october a member of the war cabinet, he was echoing what the defence minister said, there needs to be a plan for there needs to be a plan for the day after four who administers gaza and who runs gaza. ben against talking about a multinationalforce or arrangement, how could that work it is problematic because

under mr netanyahu the far right members, they and mr netanyahu are insisting on no hamas, no palestinian authority to control gaza. to hamas, no palestinian authority to control gaza.— to control gaza. to talk about israel to control _ to control gaza. to talk about israel to control gaza - to control gaza. to talk about israel to control gaza to - israel to control gaza to achieve the security in israel. 0ther achieve the security in israel. other members like ganz say it should be left for international multinational forces but it should be left forces but it should be left for the palestinians, with a guarantee from the united states and qatar and egypt even from russia and turkey are other guarantors to be with the palestinian authority because to imagine the palestinian authority not in power it would not be accepted by the palestinians. there should be away because what the israelis asking is intervention forcing their way onto gaza after the war it is not pleasingly palestinians and those who lost their families,

palestinians and those who lost theirfamilies, they want palestinians and those who lost their families, they want to be part of the future government, so to be forced on them from israel will not be accepted. a multinational will be under discussion between the palestinian authority with united states, egypt, qatar, all the parties originally, the future between mr netanyahu to be the control of gaza after the war, and the palestinians and international community want to see a palestinian control of gaza with guarantees for israel especially is about building a buffer zone alongside more than gaza with israel, it is a case they will achieve the security of israel with the palestinian authority there. said shehata from bbc arabic. we will hear how those comments have been received in israel in the next hour. to boxing now — and ukraine's

0leksander usyk has become the undisputed world boxing heavyweight champion after beating britain's tyson fury in saudi arabia. both boxers entered the ring holding versions of the world title and both had unbeaten professional records. there was little to choose between the two during the first half of the i2—round fight but fury�*s apparent plan of using his bigger size and reach seemed to be keeping his opponent where he wanted him. that all changed in round 9, when usyk caught fury with a series of blows, sending him staggering from side to side across the ring. fury didn't go down, but the referee stepped in with a standing count. after that, while fury managed to avoid taking too much further damage, he was unable to inflict much himself. the fight went the full distance, and usyk was awarded a split decision, 2 to i, by thejudges. it makes him the first man to hold all of the major heavyweight titles — making him what's known as a unified champion for a quarter of a century. let's hear now from the champion and the man he beat. my my focus was on the side. now i

am happy. —— my focus was only on this fight. i want to go back home, go to my church, pray. i want to say, jesus, thank you. because for me, and my country, it's a big opportunity. it was a close fight, i believed i thought enough but i am not — believed i thought enough but i am not a — believed i thought enough but i am not a judge believed i thought enough but i am not ajudge i believed i thought enough but i am not a judge i can'tjudge a fight — am not a judge i can'tjudge a fight while i'm watching it, around _ fight while i'm watching it, around the last round you are down, — around the last round you are down, try— around the last round you are down, try and finish it, i would _ down, try and finish it, i would have done that, everyone in the _ would have done that, everyone in the corner believed we were up. in the corner believed we were up all— in the corner believed we were up all i — in the corner believed we were up. all i had to do wasjust keep— up. all i had to do wasjust keep boxing and do what i was doing — keep boxing and do what i was doing and _ keep boxing and do what i was doing and i was getting at. it was — doing and i was getting at. it was what _ doing and i was getting at. it was what it was i not going to cry about _ was what it was i not going to cry about spilt milk, i've had the victories in the glory and closed — the victories in the glory and closed the fight with a good man— closed the fight with a good man like 0leksander usyk, and

seem fair, but they are mandatory contenders, they have been waiting and it is their turnif been waiting and it is their turn if you like for that particular belt. but even if he does not have any belts, everyone in the world knows, that usyk is number one, he is the man to beat. and everyone does want a rematch in talking about it for october, tyson fury is eager to put it right. thank you very much. yousef anani. freelance boxing journalist. an inquiry into the uk's biggest health scandal will release its final report tomorrow. more than 30,000 people in the uk were infected with hiv and hepatitis c after being given contaminated blood products by the national health service in the 1970s, �*80s and �*90s. many have since died, others unknowingly passed infections on to partners who then died. victims and their families have spent decades fighting for compensation. chloe hayward explains. it is known as the biggest

treatment disaster in nhs history and so far we know 3000 people have died in the uk from infected blood and infected blood products given by the nhs. 0verall, 30,000 victims have been identified and these fall into two main categories, the people with rare genetic blood clotting disorders and people who needed blood transfusions after surgery, for example. let's start with this first group, the haemophiliacs. people with blood clotting disorders need a special protein called factor viii or factor ix injected which helps their blood clot but by the 1970s the uk was really struggling to meet demand for these blood products and so they started to import from america. but because america pays for blood plasma rather than it being donated for free, it came from a lot of high risk individuals including prisoners, drug addicts and those most in need for money. with these donations came some deadly viral infections such as hepatitis c and hiv.

in the late 70s us drug companies were aware that their product was infected with viruses including hepatitis but did not take steps to stop the transmission. instead what they did was they mixed together ever larger batch numbers of donations, sometimes up to 50,000 plasma donations mixed together in one batch and it tookjust one infected donor to infect the entire batch. by 1983, the pharmaceutical companies were aware there was a link between haemophiliacs and hiv but instead of raising the alarm, they kept it quiet. some medics and whistle—blowers did try to raise the alarm around the world but health officials did not listen. we now know 1250 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis c that had blood clotting disorders in this country. 320 of them were children. and almost all have now died. let's look at the second group of people, those

with blood transfusions. they were given blood transfusions in surgery or after childbirth or an accident, it was infected with hiv. it was known blood transfusions could infect people with hepatitis as early as the 1970s but those exposed were not tested, even when a test became available. minimal effort was made to identify those affected. even now we still have people coming forward in this country that have just been diagnosed decades after their infection, but often it is too late. hepatitis attacks the liver, leading to cirrhosis and eventually cancer, so a late diagnosis often comes with a dire prognosis. the inquiry said through blood transfusion treatment, up to 27,000 people were infected with hepatitis c and between 80 and 100 got hiv. during the inquiry, we heard from children who grow up as orphans, mothers who buried their children and husbands

who unknowingly passed infections onto their wives. victims said they were ignored by doctors and treated as dirty or second—class citizens by the nhs. victims and their families have waited 110 years forjustice. the focus now is on compensation. we'll have much more on this story in the coming days, including a day of special live coverage on monday which you can follow here bbc news on a live page on our website or via the bbc iplayer. let's get some of the day's other news now. georgia's president has vetoed a divisive "foreign agent" law that has sparked weeks of mass street protests but the veto is likely to be overruled by parliament. on tuesday, mps passed the controversial law which requires ngos and independent media that receive more than 20% of their funding from foreign donors to register as organisations "bearing the interests of a foreign power".

ukraine's president zelensky says his country needs more arms and more troops if it's to withstand a growing offensive from russia. almost 10,000 people have now been moved from their homes in the northeast of ukraine, where moscow has already made sizeable gains. hundreds of thousands of people in southeast texas are still without power after severe thunderstorms killed at least seven people and knocked out power to nearly a million homes and businesses. officials have warned power outages could last weeks in parts of houston and that rising temperatures and a smog warning might complicate clean—up efforts. south west water has lifted restrictions on more than 80% of the properties which had been affected by a parasite in the water supply in the south of england. when the outbreak happened in devon earlier this week, some 17,000 households and businesses were told to boil their tap water before using it. but now 111,500 of them have been told told they can resume using it

as normal. 46 cases of cryptosporidiosis have been confirmed and more than 100 other people are reporting the symptoms of sickness and diarrhoea. ben woolvin reports from churston. the english riviera — where until this afternoon, 17,000 homes and businesses were being told to boil their water. 2,500 customers are still being told it's not safe and investigations are ongoing. the important thing now is to look in the hillhead area and make sure we absolutely have confirmed the source of the issue, to fix that issue and then to make sure that we have got evidence that supports that the water is absolutely safe to drink. south west water believes a damaged air valve on a pipe in a field containing livestock is how the parasite, which can be found in animalfaeces, got into the system. the other side of that hedge is the water tank, where tests confirm the presence of the parasite cryptosporidium

early this week. the water company says it was drained last night and has been thoroughly cleaned today. it's the customers served by this water tank that are still being told to boil, probably for another week. the compensation they're being offered has today been increased to £215. i've been looking at different water cooler options. i don't think we will be drinking the tap water around here. michaela lewis' daughter evelyn is still having bad stomach pains today, two weeks after she first came down with severe diarrhoea. to say the water is safe when they didn't genuinely have adequate evidence to back that up — that's not okay. as a mother myself, i find that incredibly distressing and i can only apologise. lifting this boil notice is a joint decision. it's notjust for south west water and so where customers are concerned about this position, they can take comfort from the fact that this is not only south west water, but we do have scientists and

experts making the decision. some businesses have told us they've already lost thousands of pounds. south west water says it will negotiate individual compensation offers for them. ben woolvin, bbc news, torbay. the two main rivals for the us white house have been out and about campaigning this weekend — in rather different settings. donald trump was in dallas in texas — a state which has voted republican since 1980. his reason for being there — to receive the endorsement of america's biggest gun lobbying group, the national rifle association, and encourage its members to turn out and vote for him. joe biden was in atlanta in georgia, a key swing state which he took by a narrow margin last time round. he went to mary mac's tea room, a historic institution in the city and a stronghold of democratic support. both men used their respective events to have a dig at their opponent. if the biden regime gets four more years they are coming for

your guns, 100% certain, crooked joe has a 110 year record of trying to rip firearms out of the hands of law—abiding citizens. my opponent is not a loser, not a good — my opponent is not a loser, not a good loser but he is a loser. he has— a good loser but he is a loser. he has laid _ a good loser but he is a loser. he has laid out the republicans in the _ he has laid out the republicans in the house, they know exactly what _ in the house, they know exactly what they— in the house, they know exactly what they will do if they win. everything you let me do everything you helped me do, everything you helped me do, everything we have done, they want _ everything we have done, they want to— everything we have done, they want to undo. just a reminder — you can also keep up to date with all of the developments in the race for the white house including our guides to how and when voting takes place, and what the candidates need to do to win on our website — and via the bbc news app. a close ally of the russian opposition leader alexei navalny, who died suddenly in prison in february, has told the bbc that the fight to change the country must continue. in his first interview since he was badly beaten in an attack outside his home

in lithuania, where he lives in exile, leonid volkov backed mr navalny�*s widow yulia to lead the campaign against president putin. mr volkov was talking to laura kuennsberg. attacked outside his own home, leonid volkov�*s fight against putin was nearly a fight for his life. the close friend and confidant of the late alexei navalny was assaulted in lithuania, where he'd tried to find safety from the russian regime. he was not saying anything, there was no message. like, the message, the attack was the message — we know where you live, we can kill you. the attack was just weeks after the death of navalny, the charismatic leader who had been both critic and target of the kremlin for many years. my message for the situation when i'm killed is very simple. not give up. he died in prison after being locked up by the regime for his beliefs, but leonid says the battle for democracy

must go on. he asked us to never give up and, like, to continue our work and to build this, to defeat putin and to build this beautiful russia of the future that alexei dreamed for so many years is the only practical way to preserve his legacy and to make his ultimate sacrifice not to be in vain. putin is capable of anything. the mantle to lead the movement now passes to navalny�*s wife, yulia, a job she never chose, but a role she now plays. yulia has a very strong personality and a charismatic leader. she never wanted to be in this public role and she was always a very close political adviser to alexei and us, for navalny�*s organisation, the teams that navalny organised and gathered together.

it's very clear and natural that our task in this situation is just, like, to support yulia in all her endeavours. putin's new aggressive push in ukraine, a reminder of the risk he poses. a danger some of his opponents have to live with every day. and viewers in the uk can see the full interview with leonid volkov on sunday with laura kuenssberg this morning at 9 here on bbc1. the defence secretary grant shapps will also be on the programme. and finally — there is good news for anyone who enjoyed the show—stopping northern lights last weekend or missed it because there

are almost certainly more on the way. the huge sunspot cluster that hurled energy and gas towards earth will rotate back towards us in around two weeks. scientists say it will probably still be large and complex enough to generate more explosions that could hit earth's magnetic field, creating more northern lights. before we go i mentioned earlier in the programme to colour by when we talked about a getting to gaza, the rafah crossing had reopened for aid, not rafah just yet, it is still closed, it is coming through karim shalom nearby, we will speak to our correspondence jerusalem in the next hour. stay with us here on bbc news. hello, thanks forjoining me. fairly quiet on the weather front across most of the uk right now. the storms have also cleared from southwestern england as well as wales. this is what we had during saturday — flash floods in places. how about the weather on sunday? it's actually not looking bad at all for most of us. a lot of bright, if not sunny weather on the way.

however, some coastal areas, particularly around the north sea, could be grey and chilly. so this is how we start the day. inland and out towards the west, the weather's looking fine and sunny right from the word go. but these eastern counties, or here, it may take time for that sunshine to break through that layer of gray or that stratus and sea fog that will have rolled in overnight. so the afternoon looking pretty sunny across most of the uk, again, with the exception of some coastal areas. could be some showers across southwestern parts of scotland, maybe the southwest of england. inland 22 or 23 celsius in that strong sunshine. but where the low, grey clouds stick around anywhere along the north sea coast, but particularly the further north you are, it will be chilly, maybe no higher than around 12 degrees. we have that on saturday. could happen again on sunday. so through the course of the evening, you can see that low grey cloud. once again it's going to roll inland out towards the west, it's going to stay generally clear. now, here's monday. cloudy skies out towards the east, but then the sun comes out and it's a repeat performance.

a fine day on the way. again, temperatures in the low 20s inland, closer to the coast closer to around the mid—teens. now, on tuesday, subtle changes. showers will appear in different areas. we could see some forming across scotland, northern ireland, the lake district as well. but i think the further south you are, the better the weather will be. temperatures won't really change an awful lot. in fact, overall, the first half of the week for most of us, isn't looking too bad. but, as we head through wednesday and thursday, this low pressure sweeps in out of the east this time. it'll bring quite breezy weather and also a spell of persistent rain, and at times it will be heavy. so a change on the way second half of the week, and that's reflected in the forecast here. not really bad at all until around about tuesday, bar a few showers here and there. but then wednesday, thursday and friday, it's all change and it's hello low. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the head of the un agency for palestinian refugees says more than 800,000 people have been forced to flee rafah in southern gaza, due to the ongoing israeli offensive. they were having to do so without any safe passage and were fleeing to areas with

little water or sanitation. in israel, there have been more protests by the relatives and friends of the hostages who were taken by hamas last october. tens of thousands of people joined the demonstration in tel aviv, many calling for fresh elections. there were some scuffles as police tried to remove protesters. the ukrainian boxer 0leksandr usyk has become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in a quarter of a century. he beat britain's tyson fury in a fiercely competitive contest in the saudi capital, riyadh, which went the entire 12 rounds. the ukrainian won on points. now on bbc news, click
