but in a surprise move, president biden unveiled a new peace proposal and ceasefire offerfrom israel. i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely. some — some are even in the government coalition. and they've made it clear they want to occupy gaza. they want to keep fighting for years. and the hostages are not a priority to them. well, i've urged the leadership manager to stand behind this of israel to stand behind this deal, despite whatever pressure comes. president biden outlined a three—phase proposal that would begin with an immediate six—week ceasefire. at the same time, israeli forces would carry out a withdrawal from gaza. israeli hostages in gaza would be exchanged for palestinian prisoners, and 600 trucks of humanitarian aid would be delivered there each day. in the second phase, hamas and israel would negotiate

a permanent end to hostilities. the final phase would include a major reconstruction operation in gaza with international support. among those urging hamas to get on board was foreign secretary david cameron, posting on social media: "let's seize this moment and bring this conflict to an end." for president biden, resolving the conflict has become a political imperative ahead of elections in five months' time. he's been losing the support of some younger voters and muslim voters. both have been vocal in their dissatisfaction at events in gaza. for palestinians in gaza, if hamas agrees to this deal, it will be the start of a long road to rebuild some semblance of the lives they once had. vincent mcaviney, bbc news.

yesterday we had the news of 3a convictions for donald trump and now we're getting the ball out. —— getting the fallout. donald trump has confirmed he'll appeal against his criminal conviction for falsifying business records, relating to a hush money payment made to an adult film star. the former us president is due to be sentenced next month. 0ur north america correspondent, john sudworth, has the latest. in the gold—trimmed grandeur of trump tower, its owner set out his vision for an election campaign based on the politics of personal grievance. we had a conflicted judge. highly conflicted. there's never been a more conflicted judge. so i'm the leading person for president and i'm under a gag order by a man that can't put two sentences together. but he's a very big danger to our country. and the only way they think they can win this election is by doing exactly what they're doing right now

— win it in the courts because they can't win it at the ballot box. the accusation is without foundation. mr trump's guilty verdicts were delivered on the evidence by 12 jurors, finding that he'd falsified records to hide hush money payments to the porn star stormy daniels to keep her claim that they had had sex from us voters. hi, everyone. in his first comments on the verdict, president biden described mr trump's attacks on the court, the judge and the system as a whole, as dangerous. it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. 0urjustice system has endured for nearly 250 years. and it literally is the cornerstone of america. but minds are already made up — americans are now a people talking past each other across a deep political divide. there's no doubting the seismic significance of having

a convicted felon as republican candidate for president. but the political implications are harder to discern. 0n the one hand, it might put some voters off. 0n the other, mr trump will do everything he can to use it for his advantage. the former president claimed that, in the few hours since the verdict was delivered, he had already raised almost $40 million in campaignfunds. john sudworth, bbc news, new york. we're joined now by our north america reporter, will vernon. so we had a conviction and then we heard from donald trump. we know there will be an appeal. he's had a lot to say and there's been more reaction. . �* , reaction. that's right. the reaction. _ reaction. that's right. the reaction, as _ reaction. that's right. the reaction, as you _ reaction. that's right. the reaction, as you would - reaction. that's right. the - reaction, as you would imagine, has been split very much between those who support donald trump and those

that oppose him. his supporters, republican lawmakers in congress, has been very critical of the court decisions. many have made claims without evidence that this trial was politically motivated, that the charges were absurd. donald trump is almost certainly going to be the republican party nominee in the presidential election, and the party has rallied around him. even those republicans who perhaps have been more sceptical of donald trump's that ages in the past. as for democrats, his opponents, many very supportive of this verdict. releasing statements calling donald trump a convicted felon, a criminal. that is of course what he is now officially. and many using the phrase no one is above the law. that message was echoed by president biden earlier today in his address from the white house. he pushed back against the unsubstantiated claims

by donald trump and others that this trial was part of a politically motivated witch hunt. he said the comments were reckless and that the justice system should be respected. but i think it is clear that donald trump is going to use this verdict to attack president biden and galvanise his supporters to boost his own position and put himself, donald trump, at the centre as the victim in all of this.— victim in all of this. thank you. all parties _ victim in all of this. thank you. all parties are _ victim in all of this. thank you. all parties are out _ victim in all of this. thank you. all parties are out again - victim in all of this. thank you. all parties are out again this i all parties are out again this weekend vying for support. 0ur political correspondent helen catt sent this report on what to expect this weekend. today we are going to hear from keir starmer on the topic of benefits and employment support. he is going to say that, under labour, those who can work will work. now those sound like strong words, but labour is not going to set out the sort of crackdown that we've heard of from the conservatives in recent months — the idea

of bringing in more sanctions on people who refuse to look for work. what keir starmer is going to outline instead is a reform to the system. he's going to talk about the creation of a combined national jobs and careers service, and what labour's calling a youth guarantee to get 18—to—21—year—olds into training and employment. they say that by getting more people into work, that'll bring the benefits bill down. the conservatives will be announcing 30 towns that they would extend an existing government fund to if they win the election — a government scheme. these towns would get £20 million each for long—term projects to improve things like high streets and transport, as a form of levelling up. the snp is campaigning in north east scotland. no big policy push from them today — they will instead be focusing on their appeal to voters to kick out the tories, who they say backed boris and brexit. and the liberal democrats will be talking football — they'll be pushing their policy of forcing ten premier league games to be shown on free—to—air tv every season.

they say that's because of the cost of season tickets and subscription services to view them all is rising. there are some questions about how this might work in practice — that's leading the conservatives to say that there isn't a proper plan for this. george galloway will today launch the general election campaign for the workers party of britain, in the constituency of labour's deputy leader angela rayner. mr galloway, who won the rochdale by—election in february, says the party will stand more than 400 candidates. pharmacists say there's growing evidence of a crisis in the supply of medications in the uk, with an increasing use of emergency measures to prescribe alternatives when a drug isn't available. it's 0ur health correspondent, dominic hughes, reports. pharmacists say the supply of medicines is complicated. it's an international business that can be affected by changes

in global demand, prices, and exchange rates, as well as manufacturing problems and the supply chain. and the availability of some drugs has been problematic. the evidence — the use of serious shortage protocols, issued by the department of health and social care and applied across the uk. they allow community pharmacists to supply alternative drugs if there's a shortage of a particular medicine. the national pharmacy association says they've been issued 50 times in the past two years, but in the two years before that, just 15 were issued. a whole range of medicines have been affected — including forangina, epilepsy, adhd, and cystic fibrosis. university student amber lives with cystic fibrosis and is struggling to get medication that helps her digest food. without it, i basically can't eat. also, to try and get the medicine i'm having to drive around for hours and hours to different pharmacies taking these scripts. finishing second year is like carnage for...

really stressful for, like, a normalstudent, but a student that can't eat properly — like, can't find the medicine that keeps me alive — that stress is just unimaginable! pharmacists say they are increasingly having to turn patients away. unfortunately, because of the issues that we're currently facing with medicine shortages, we are having to turn patients away. and we see first hand the stress that it causes for a lot of patients — particularly those who have been on these medicines for a long time, or they're seeking the medicines for their children. and it's heartbreaking for us as health care professionals, as pharmacists, to have to send patients away, or to have to tell them that they're going to have to wait longer to get the medicines. the uk is not the only country in the world experiencing problems with drug supplies — it's a global issue. but the npa says it wants all the main parties in the election to commit to tackling the shortages. dominic hughes, bbc news. a 20—year—old man has been charged

with murdering a woman who was fatally stabbed on a beach in bournemouth last week. amie gray, a 34—year—old personal trainer — seen on the left of this picture — died at the scene. nasen saadi, from croydon, who is also charged with attempted murder, is due to appear before poole magistrates today. french authorities say a teenager has been arrested over a plan to attack a football stadium during the olympic games in paris this summer. officials said they acted on evidence that the suspect, an 18—year—old chechen man, was planning an islamist inspired attack on the main stadium in the city of saint etienne. researchers say that a saliva test, to identify men who are most at risk of prostate cancer, could turn the tide on the disease. the team from the institute of cancer research and the royal marsden hospital say preliminary findings show the test is better than a standard blood test.

8pm kick off tonight. the women's european qualifiers, a night of mixed results for the home nations as they look to secure their place at the tournament next year. scotland's match with israel was played behind closed doors due to fears of protest over the war in gaza but the game was still destructive. firstly there were demonstrations outside hampden park before the match and inside the ground and managed to secure himself to one of the goalpost, forcing kick—off to be delayed by a 38 minutes. the game itself, once it got going, fairly straightforward for scotland, 4—1 winners. claire ainslie scoring twice. we wanted to make sure we got three points, and we did. and now — we have to be focused on tuesday. how have the pre—match events affected the squad today, the preparations, the game — everything that came along with that? i think the focus has been good. we spoke about a lot of different things that we thought

we might need to anticipate, and i thought we were really focused at the start of the game. i thought we were excellent. we didn't let it disrupt us. and i thought we started the game really well on the front foot, and getting the early goals i think helped usjust settle in. england struggling qualifier, beaten again by france. finished 2—1 in newcastle. england were in front through beth mead after half an hour, but france hitting back twice. this proved to be the winner, so england have lost one and drawn one of their two home game so far, dropped to third in the group and face france on tuesday. wales' perfect start to qualifying is over, they won their first two but had to settle for a 1—1 draw with ukraine, the early mishap helping to give the visitors the

lead. wales rescued a point, thanks to a second—half penalty from kayleigh barton, keeping them top of their group. northern ireland's are unbeaten start is over, as well. they were beaten 4—0 by portugal in the third group game, they are second in their group. portugalare group game, they are second in their group. portugal are top with three wins from three. either bath or chemical sale will confirm their place in the grand final later today, they already know who awaits next weekend at twickenham, that is northampton. they won their semifinal last night beating saracens. this penalty from finn smith ten minutes from time proved vital. united rugby championship, glasgow already assured of a championship place. they can still finish in the top two, depending on other results. leaders leinster beat connacht in the night's at all that much.

in super league, saint helens are two points clear at the top after beating catalan dragons 24—12. the home side running in four tries. huddersfield beat hull fc 24—18. the fight between dunn echo has been postponed, scheduled forjuly 20 and put on hold after tyson was said to suffer a medical issue. he has since set and ulcerflare—up suffer a medical issue. he has since set and ulcer flare—up was to blame. a new date will be announced. mike tyson 57 years old, jake polledri 27. mike tyson still feels he isn't the best shape of his life. if he the best shape of his life. if he sa s the best shape of his life. if he says it- -- _ the best shape of his life. if he says it... thanks. _ time now for unspun world, withjohn simpson.

hello and welcome to unspun world. thank you forjoining us. britain heads into a snap election. will its position in the world change? international politics is becoming far more fluid, and in that context, the uk potentially has advantages to gain because of its unique relationship set around the world. iran will soon hold an election too, but is there any possibility its rulers can win back popular support? the majority of the people have been disillusioned with this regime. they have taken to the streets time and again asking for regime change. and we look at the new shape of the middle east with security correspondent frank gardner. there have been discussions about how to share the middle east, essentially. it's pretty tenuous.

the saudis have been fighting a five, six, seven—year war in yemen against the iranian—backed houthis, without success. british politics, which has always seemed so stable, even predictable compared with the politics of the rest of europe, appeared to have settled down again after eight or nine years of chaos. since the brexit referendum in 2016, eight years ago, there've been no fewer than five prime ministers, all from the conservative party. now the opinion polls suggest the labour party will win power onjuly the 4th, either outright or through a coalition. will british politics settle down to their usual stability after that? and what will britain's position in the world be? the bbc�*s diplomatic correspondent james landale. the great irony is the last election

was essentially a referendum on whether or not we should get brexit done. that was the great conservative slogan, and it's a slogan that won a lot of votes at the last election. but a few years on, there's almost omerta. not quite. there are some parties that do talk about it. the lib dems do talk about it. they are saying that ultimately, in the long run, the uk should think about rejoining the single market. if you talk to other minor parties, smaller parties, they do have some policies on it, but the two larger parties — largely silence. there are some exceptions. the labour party says that it would try to seek a security and defence pact with the eu. there is a caution, but the problem is that actually there are a huge number of issues coming up about regulation, about taxation and things like that, and migration, that are all shaped by the european union in part,

and i think they're probably less likely to be discussed in this campaign than some might want. it's a case that many people make, and i'm personally not quite sure whether it's true or not, but that britain's position in the world is a diminished one. if that is the case, would it continue to be diminished, or do you think the next government, whichever it may be, will be able to raise britain's position a little? i think what will happen is, whoever wins, there will be a continuing increased sort of curiosity about the brits. i spoke to one european ambassador here in the uk recently who said that because of the other elections taking place in europe in coming months and years, where the far right is making gains, notjust in the european elections but also in national elections, that it is possible that the uk in coming years will once again settle back into a slightly sort of boring but established reasonable voice in the international space

that is neither massively on the far extremes of politics, but has more come back to the centre of politics in a way that perhaps some might argue it hasn't been in recent years because of the volatility of british politics. and to that extent, i think that might be welcome, because i think at a time when there's a huge debate going on between the global north and the global south about how "the west", to use the old phrase, engages with the developing world, that means that international politics is becoming far more fluid. and in that role, in that context, the uk potentially has advantages to gain, because of its unique relationship set around the world. do you think that the conservative party, assuming it loses — i mean, this is an assumption that most people are making, rightly or wrongly — do you think the conservative party

is finished in the form that we've seen it in the last eight years or so? my experience is that the conservative party, it's probably a mistake to write them off. it is still one of the most successful electoral parties in history, if you go back to the mid—1800s. but i think it's likely that the conservative party is going to change in coming years. how it changes depends on who gets elected as their mps, their representatives at the house of commons, who, if there's a new leader, what leadership that takes. and i think that will shape where the conservative party goes. in recent years, it's taken on quite a flavour of the red wall, as it's known — mps who reflect, you know, their northern constituencies. quite a heavy focus on brexit as an issue in recent years. will that change? will that continue?

all of that depends entirely on the numbers, on what happens afterwards. you know, if the conservative party wins, then obviously rishi sunak will, for the first time, have a mandate, which he hadn't had before. and i think it would be fascinating to see what change he brings to the conservative party then, if that's what happens. as it happens, more than 60 countries are holding elections during the course of this year. one country which wasn't expecting to is the islamic republic of iran, whose president raisi was killed in a helicopter crash last month. the president of iran isn't the chief figure in iran's political hierarchy. that's the unelected supreme leader, ali khamenei. he has responsibility for the overall conduct of the country in religious, political and social matters. and he runs iran's foreign policy.

plus, he has ultimate oversight of the powerful revolutionary guard corps, the irgc. this shows the real intensity of feeling... but some past presidential elections, like the one in 2009, which i covered, have seen anger and violence spill over on a national scale. and without the use of considerable force, the islamic regime might not even have survived. this election, though, could be marked by inertia, and lack of interest, like the last one in 2021, where the turnout was at a record low. i sought the views of baran abbasi of bbc persian on what we can expect. there is usually, on the basis of precedence, up to ten people would be allowed to run. there is a dilemma, i think,

facing the regime whether to allow moderates and reformists to run this time, but it seems to be unlikely. their leader is 85 years old, and he's shown in the past few years that he would prefer that the key institutions are held by those who are his most loyal servants. and so in 2021, even centrist conservatives were barred from running. the path was cleared for raisi to take over the presidency, because he was considered very loyal to the supreme leader and a favourite candidate to succeed him. but do you think there'll be a moderate candidate, or will itjust be conservatives that face up to each other? it is hard to say. it is unlikely for a moderate to be allowed to run. maybe a low—key moderate, not a figure that would draw people to the polling stations. the majority of the people have been

disillusioned with this regime. they have taken to the streets time and again asking for regime change. do khamenei, the other people that support him, do they really care if there's a low turnout? absolutely not. this was the case last time around. the election saw the lowest turnout in the history of the islamic republic. but it was not something that the irgc would care. and that's why ebrahim raisi was elected. he was a mid—ranking cleric with no higher education. and he showed it in his speeches. he didn't have any genuine ideas himself. he only carried out the orders. and this was something that appealed to the irgc and the supreme leader. of course, i mean, this is weird, isn't it? because the election of a president is not really going to change the direction of the country. that is done by the supreme leader,

at the moment ayatollah khamenei. so what do we know about the likely changes there? who will take over from khamenei? the list is very small. of course, its pure speculation, because it's all very secretive. when khamenei was appointed the supreme leader, he wasn't the favourite. and khamenei only emerged because of backroom dealings amongst the clerical elite. and this could happen again. khamenei's second son, mojtaba, who is 55 years old, and he's avoided the limelight largely, but it's his belief that he has huge influence over his father's decision—making, and he's also close to the irgc. but he doesn't have the religious credentials and he doesn't have any executive or governance background. there are concerns that, if he's chosen, it will imply that iran has replaced a monarchy with another hereditary system. mm.

there is alireza arafi, a deputy chief to the assembly of experts. he has the religious credentials, but, again, he lacks the name recognition. gholam—hossein mohseni—eje'i, who is the current head of thejudiciary, he's been in thejudiciary for years, and he was the intelligence minister. but he doesn't have the black turban, which implies that he is a descendant of the prophet muhammad. it must be terribly depressing to look at the situation, the political situation in iran, and see no possible way out of it. iran is facing huge challenges, and people are... ..struggling to make ends meet. iran's economy is in tatters, it is facing huge problems, and in terms of social freedoms, people are always...

..being limited more than ever. it is very depressing for the people in iran, first of all, and also for all the iranians who were hoping that things would change. but it seems that things are only, uh... ..changing for the worse, not the better. when a leading britishjournalist wrote a book about lebanon in 1990, he called it pity the nation. and it's true that lebanon's history since the more stable days of the 19605 has indeed been pitiable. its own complex political structure is rickety and deeply insecure, the stuff of civil war. waves of refugees from neighbouring countries, first palestinians and now syrians, have swamped lebanon's schools and hospitals, and brutal invasions by syria and israel have done it immense damage.

this is the famous corniche... when i was in beirut recently, i was shocked by the number of beggars on the streets — people who've been forced out of their homes in syria by the civil war there. now, perhaps unsurprisingly, a backlash against the refugees is growing in lebanon. i spoke to carine torbey, the bbc�*s beirut correspondent. there is absolutely no end in sight for this crisis. lebanon is already overwhelmed with its own problems, which are massive. this is a country with a very delicate demographic balance. so this is all coming together to make the lebanese, for the first time, say, "enough is enough." is it important that these refugees, a million and a half of them, are from syria, a country which has, of course, dominated lebanon from time to time, and there's been a lot of bad blood between them? the syrian army was in lebanon up

until 2005, when they withdrew, and some of the lebanese consider that lebanon was under syrian occupation, while others think that syria is a friend and was here to help lebanon. but also, to be fair to the situation, a lot of lebanese have very strong bonds to syrians as well. the people who feel, you know, the most cold in this situation are the refugees themselves, because from their perspective, they don't want to go to syria, they don't want to go back. either they can't go back, because they are from areas that are completely destroyed, or they don't feel they belong. some of them tell me, "i don't even know the country that syria has become now." they know also that lebanon doesn't feel welcoming any more, and they feel that, i mean, ideally, they will want to go to europe, to the states, to any, you know, third country. and, of course, the population of cyprus has swelled quite considerably, hasn't it, as a result of refugees going there?

in the last year, uh, and according to the ministry of interior in cyprus, the number of, you know, illegal immigrants who left from lebanon to cyprus has increased 27 fold. cyprus said, "i can't take any more." and what they did, they came to lebanon to tell lebanon that, "you have to help us crack down on this movement of illegal immigrants," and they might, you know, discover that the only way to do this is probably to work together, rather than each one blaming the other. and of course, the eu came and gave lebanon... ..what was it, about a billion euros or something, which a lot of people thought was rather a bribe to them to try to keep all those refugees in the country. absolutely, this has backfired and backfired tremendously against the prime minister. he was accused of, you know, playing the european game of,

you know, just take some money and keep the refugees in lebanon, be the kind of, you know, the coastguard of europe, and it has only contributed to fuel the tension. lebanon is such a fragile country. do you yourself think that lebanon can survive all this? when you speak to the refugees, you feel there are so many stories that are extremely heartbreaking, and you just wonder, "why can't it be that they're just staying here?" they're living here, they're not hurting anyone, why can't theyjust, you know... they're just people seeking normal life. and then you just hear all the insecurities of the lebanese, when it comes to all their... ..you know, their way of thinking about this, and you think this is a very small country, and then you see people telling you, you know,

bigger countries, wealthy countries, they're not accepting to take any of this burden, and they're trying to lecture us about what we should do. so, you know, states, societies, they imitate each other, and at the moment, you know, in the generalfeeling around the world, there is this anti—refugee, you know, sentiment. it is not helping, and this is making all the insecurities of the lebanese becoming, you know, even worse. 20 years ago, the bbc security correspondent frank gardner was filming in saudi arabia with an irish cameraman, simon cumbers, when they were attacked by a group of al-qaeda gunmen. simon was killed, frank was lucky to survive and was left partially paralysed. the middle east has changed remarkably in the 20 years since the attack,

and so especially has saudi arabia itself. i talked to frank about the way things have changed. it was always an incredibly austere place, and then along comes this charismatic young prince, mohammed bin salman, who, ten years ago, almost none of us had heard of, and he has brought about enormous social change at the same time as locking up anyone who even gives a hint of... ..not even opposition, but perhaps a request for more accountable government, more transparent government. doesn't like that at all. i mean, you can have draconian punishments forjust putting out a tweet. but at the same time, he's allowed men and women to mingle together, women can drive, he's brought in quite controversial things like rock concerts and, um...and raves and stuff, the first nightclub is opening there. i mean, it's bizarre, and it's been surprising that there's been no pushback. there have been, every now and then,

rumours of assassination attempts, putsches. but mbs, he removed all his rivals, concentrated all the levers of power in his hands, and he's immensely popular with young saudis. and beyond saudi itself, the rivalry with iran, or at least the relationship with iran, continues, doesn't it? but it has been changing. so there've been... what amount to peace talks going on in iraq for a long time, iraq being, in some people's eyes, basically a province of iran now, because iran has got its tentacles so far in there. and the saudis have never forgiven the americans for doing that, for basically handing, in their eyes, iraq to tehran. but there have been discussions about how to... ..how to share the middle east, essentially, you know,

to try and end or at least damp down this ongoing rivalry, which neither of them want to break out into war. it's pretty tenuous. the saudis have been fighting a five, six, seven—year war in yemen against the iranian—backed houthis, without success. and the uae, its position has changed too, hasn't it? it's become much more of a player than it ever was before. yes. i mean, sheikh mohamed bin zayed is now the president, and he is a very thoughtful, powerful person. he's always had a bee in his bonnet about the muslim brotherhood — the muslim brotherhood is part of what's called political islam, it's. .. it's basically people who don't believe there should be borders, that islam should be a part of politics, and that's not the way the gulf rulers see it. they see the ikhwan, as it's called, the brotherhood, not just the gulf states, but egypt as well and jordan, they see it as an existential challenge to their rule, which is dynastic, of course, handing it on from father to son, and they don't want the involvement

of islam in politics. i mean, the uae is an immense success story. i mean, somebody described dubai once as the most successful arab city in history — and yet the arabs are a tiny minority there. and the other centre in the gulf is doha, which follows a very different policy and so forth. tell me about the way that they've gone about things. so doha is the cap... it's basically the capital of a city state, qatar, which is an emirate. and 40 years ago, it was an absolute sleepy backwater. they have decided to leverage their enormous gas wealth to go on a shopping spree all over the world, but especially in london, so they own a lot of iconic things, parts or majority stakes in things like the shard, sainsbury�*s, the london stock exchange, barclays, and they've invested billions

in this country. but they are controversial at the moment, because they provide a home to hamas, to the political wing, the external political wing of hamas. a lot of israelis will say, "what do you mean, the external wing, the political wing ? there's no such difference, they're all terrorists, all of them." but qatar doesn't view things quite that way. qatar is very much on the side of political islam, and that's why it was up on the naughty step recently for several years. saudi, bahrain, uae all ostracised qatar. because they don't trust qatar. they think that it is a trojan horse for letting in the muslim brotherhood and its ideology that they find dangerous. and finally, on our geographical tour... mm. ..are you one of the people that think that, really, the idea of a two—nation solution for palestine and israel is finished now?

no, i'm not, i can't see a... i can't see another workable solution, and in order to ostracise the men of violence, you need to create a road, a pathway to peace, that is realistic. and if any silver lining is going to come out of the appalling events of october 7th, and the conflict in gaza that has followed, with all these thousands of people killed or kidnapped, it should be that the world pays some attention to actually sorting this out once for all. i can't see this happening while hamas rules gaza and netanyahu rules israel. frank gardner, bbc security correspondent. benjamin netanyahu's determination to carry on with an all—out attack on the city of rafah in gaza comes at a heavy price — for palestinians in the first place.

the israeli air strike last sunday on the tel al—sultan area of rafah, where 10,000 refugees were gathered, had terrible results. fire swept through the tents where people were sheltering. survivors said there'd be no warning beforehand of the attack. internationally, the onslaught against rafah is doing considerable damage to israel's support. its relationship with egypt, for instance. egypt has already backed south africa's case at the international court ofjustice, accusing israel of genocide. without egypt's security support, israel will be much more vulnerable. and europe, one of israel's strongest backers, is now split. spain, norway and ireland are backing a palestinian state. josep borrell, the european union's foreign policy boss, supports the decision

by the international criminal court to seek arrest warrants against mr netanyahu, as well as the leaders of hamas. france is a lot more critical of israel nowadays. so is germany, israel's loyal backer for 70 years. so, is attacking rafah worth all this collateral damage? well, if mr netanyahu calls the attack off, he could lose power, and rightly or wrongly, his critics in israel, and they're many, claim that this is the consideration which counts the most for him. well, that's it from this edition of unspun world. from me and from the unspun team, until we meet again, goodbye.

drugs and they have to turn patients away. and the biggest game in club football is almost upon us, real madrid face borussia dortmund to england players go head—to—head in the champions league final. and some cloud around over the weekend but for most of us dry with some sunny spells. the full details shortly. good morning. president biden has set out a new proposal for israel which he says could end the war in gaza. he called it a decisive moment in the conflict and urged both sides to accept the deal. hamas said it viewed the proposal permanently. our reporter has this. after almost eight months of israeli response to the 7th october attacks by hamas, gaza lays largely in ruins, with the lives of palestinians who call it home turned upside down.

more than 36,000 have been killed across the region, according to the hamas—run health ministry. hundreds of thousands are displaced and aid is struggling to reach them. the conflict has put the us—israel relationship under immense pressure. but in a surprise move, president biden unveiled a new peace proposal and ceasefire offer from israel. i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely. some — some are even in the government coalition. and they've made it clear they want to occupy gaza. they want to keep fighting for years. and the hostages are not a priority to them. well, i've urged the leadership in israel to stand behind this deal, despite whatever pressure comes. president biden outlined a three—phase proposal

that would begin with an immediate six—week ceasefire. at the same time, israeli forces would carry out a withdrawal from gaza. israeli hostages in gaza would be exchanged for palestinian prisoners, and 600 trucks of humanitarian aid would be delivered there each day. in the second phase, hamas and israel would negotiate a permanent end to hostilities. the final phase would include a major reconstruction operation in gaza with international support. among those urging hamas to get on board was foreign secretary david cameron, posting on social media, "let's seize this moment and bring this conflict to an end." for president biden, resolving the conflict has become a political imperative ahead of elections in five months' time. he's been losing the support of some younger voters and muslim voters. both have been vocal in their dissatisfaction at events in gaza.

for palestinians in gaza, if hamas agrees to this deal, it will be the start of a long road to rebuild some semblance of the lives they once had. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. our middle east correspondent is in jerusalem. hugo, with a proposal like this we are told it is significant but it is difficult to pin too much hope on that after all that has happened?— pin too much hope on that after all that has happened? good morning. some of the — that has happened? good morning. some of the key — that has happened? good morning. some of the key points _ that has happened? good morning. some of the key points of - that has happened? good morning. some of the key points of this - some of the key points of this proposal are very similar to one put forward by the egyptians some weeks ago including the key points of this first phase of this temporary ceasefire. but i think the fact that the american president gave a speech at the white house marks a

significant intervention and i think the strategy is to put pressure on both on israel and hamas to accept this deal. again the president called it a decisive moment and he urged hamas to accept the deal. so the first phase again would see the release of some hostages being held in gaza in exchange for palestinian prisoners being held injails in israel but i think crucially the second phase would see a permanent cessation of hostilities, the end of the war in other words which has been a key demand by hamas negotiators. hamas said it had reacted positively to this proposal and i think what was interesting is that the president acknowledged that in israel this plan would need to be accepted by everyone, he tried to address some concerns and said that hamas was so weakened that it doesn't have the ability to carry out a major attack on israel. and again i think what the president said is that the plan needs to be backed by the authorities in israel.

hugo, thank you. it is six minutes past seven. this time yesterday we were just reacting to the convictions, the 34 counts that resulted in conviction for donald trump and now his reaction? yes now we have confirmation from donald trump that he will appeal against his criminal conviction for falsifying business records. relating to hush money payment made to an adult film star. the former us president is due to be sentenced next month. john sudworth has this report. in the gold—trimmed grandeur of trump tower, its owner set out his vision for an election campaign based on the politics of personal grievance. we had a conflicted judge. highly conflicted. there's never been a more conflicted judge. so i'm the leading person

for president and i'm under a gag order by a man that can't put two sentences together. but he's a very big danger to our country. and the only way they think they can win this election is by doing exactly what they're doing right now — win it in the courts because they can't win it at the ballot box. the accusation is without foundation. mr trump's guilty verdicts were delivered on the evidence by 12 jurors, finding that he'd falsified records to hide hush money payments to the porn star stormy daniels to keep her claim that they had had sex from us voters. hi, everyone. in his first comments on the verdict, president biden described mr trump's attacks on the court, the judge and the system as a whole, as dangerous. it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. 0urjustice system has endured for nearly 250 years. and it literally is the cornerstone of america.

but minds are already made up — americans are now a people talking past each other across a deep political divide. there's no doubting the seismic significance of having a convicted felon as republican candidate for president. but the political implications are harder to discern. on the one hand, it might put some voters off. on the other, mr trump will do everything he can to use it for his advantage. the former president claimed that, in the few hours since the verdict was delivered, he had already raised almost $40 million in campaignfunds. john sudworth, bbc news, new york. after a week of campaigning that saw key battle lines drawn ahead of the general election is all parties this weekend will be vying for support. let's speak to our political

correspondent. good morning to you. so effectively we are a week in two campaigning, what are the issues and where do we think the politicians are going to be? i where do we think the politicians are going to be?— are going to be? i think for the ma'or are going to be? i think for the major parties _ are going to be? i think for the major parties in _ are going to be? i think for the major parties in particular- are going to be? i think for the major parties in particular this | major parties in particular this weekend is about trying to divert things back to policy after a week of uncomfortable distractions for both whether the row that labour had about whether to let diane abbott stand again as an mp or whether it be yet anotherformer stand again as an mp or whether it be yet another former tory mp defecting tojoin the be yet another former tory mp defecting to join the labour party and what was quite an embarrassment for rishi sunak. today labour are announcing a new policy to try to reform employment support and benefits. something keir starmer said is his number one priority, wealth creation. they say by combining employment support and career services they can get millions more into work and especially for young people and they would give new powers to mayors to

develop local employment schemes. the conservatives have got a new announcement as well saying they will expand an existing fund for towns giving £20 million each to 30 new towns which would mean total number of town is now receiving this money would be around 100. a new places would include some towns like halifax, tamworth and bognor regis. they say could be used by local people for example to regenerate their high streets. the lib dems also have an eye—catching announcement this weekend and they say if they came to power they would mandate the premier league to show at least ten games per season on free to air television. so bbc or itv. they are heavily criticising the fact that at the moment a season ticket prices have been rising and so it has become very expensive for the fans if they want to watch premier league games either in person or streaming platforms and they say they will change the law to try to do this. and the snp have not really got a specific new policy

announcement this weekend but they are campaigning in the north—east of scotland and hammering the message this weekend about driving out the conservative party. so they will be trying to make a pitch in areas where the conservatives traditionally have seats in scotland to try to rally support for the snp in this vote. to try to rally support for the snp in this vote-— to try to rally support for the snp in this vote. thank you very much. georae in this vote. thank you very much. george galloway _ in this vote. thank you very much. george galloway will _ in this vote. thank you very much. george galloway will launch - in this vote. thank you very much. george galloway will launch the i george galloway will launch the general election campaign for the workers party of britain today in ashton—under—lyne. the constituency of angela rayner the labour deputy leader. george galloway says the party will put up more than 400 candidates altogether. pharmacists say there is growing evidence of a crisis in the supply of medications in the uk with increasing use of emergency measures to prescribe alternatives when a drug is not available. our health correspondent has this report. pharmacists say the supply of medicines is complicated. it's an international business that can be affected

by changes in global demand, prices, and exchange rates, as well as manufacturing problems and the supply chain. and the availability of some drugs has been problematic. the evidence — the use of serious shortage protocols, issued by the department of health and social care and applied across the uk. they allow community pharmacists to supply alternative drugs if there's a shortage of a particular medicine. the national pharmacy association says they've been issued 50 times in the past two years, but in the two years before that, just 15 were issued. a whole range of medicines have been affected — including forangina, epilepsy, adhd, and cystic fibrosis. university student amber lives with cystic fibrosis and is struggling to get medication that helps her digest food. without it, i basically can't eat. also, to try and get the medicine i'm having to drive around for hours and hours to different pharmacies taking these scripts. finishing second year

is like carnage for... really stressful for, like, a normal student, but a student that can't eat properly — like, can't find the medicine that keeps me alive — that stress is just unimaginable! pharmacists say they are increasingly having to turn patients away. unfortunately, because of the issues that we're currently facing with medicine shortages, we are having to turn patients away. and we see first hand the stress that it causes for a lot of patients — particularly those who have been on these medicines for a long time, or they're seeking the medicines for their children. and it's heartbreaking for us as health care professionals, as pharmacists, to have to send patients away, or to have to tell them that they're going to have to wait longer to get the medicines. the uk is not the only country in the world experiencing problems with drug supplies — it's a global issue. but the npa says it wants all the main parties in the election to commit to tackling the shortages. dominic hughes, bbc news.

a 20—year—old man has been charged with murdering a woman who was fatally stabbed on a beach in bournemouth last week. amie gray, a 34—year—old personal trainer — seen on the left of this picture — died at the scene. nasen saadi, from croydon, who is also charged with attempted murder, is due to appear before poole magistrates today. french authorities say a teenager has been arrested over a plan to attack a football stadium during the olympic games in paris this summer. officials said they acted on evidence that the suspect, an 18—year—old chechen man, was planning an islamist inspired attack on the main stadium in the city of saint etienne. former police officers are concerned about pension plans after changes were made to the public sector pensions in 2014. here is our

that they have to tell! simon has been taking a look at the weather. i thought that that was coming up! todayis thought that that was coming up! today is the start of meteorological summer so i thought we would have a look back at how wet it has been an also very warm, in fact one of the warmer spring is on record possibly. coming off the back of the warmest may on record. we get those stats next week. but people on social media are saying that cannot be true that it media are saying that cannot be true thatitis media are saying that cannot be true that it is the warmest on record! it has the fingerprints of climate change because in a warmer atmosphere we do expect more rainfall. that was the spring but lets look forward to the start of summer today and a lovely start to date with some blue skies and sunshine across much of the uk at the moment. a bit more cloud further

east. but not quite as chilly as it was yesterday around eastern areas of england. the rain clearing away so through today the client will break up and there will be some sunny spells and quite warm in the sunshine. elsewhere some sunny spells developing for much of the day. very small chance of an isolated shower developing in parts of northern england into the midlands. the highest temperatures i think towards western areas, 20, 20 i think towards western areas, 20, 20 1 degrees. still a bit cooler along the north sea coast especially east anglia where you have a brisk northerly wind. through tonight some clear skies and some patches of mist and fog. temperatures getting down to around seven, ten or 11 celsius. but it could be a bit cooler in some rural areas. but it could be a bit cooler in some ruralareas. on but it could be a bit cooler in some rural areas. on sunday the high pressure is up to the west, keeping the weather settles. but over the top of that more cloud moving into parts of scotland and northern

ireland. some spots of rain perhaps on sunday but towards eastern scotland through much of england and wales, looking like another largely fine and dry date with some warm sunshine. maximum temperature is a little higher tomorrow, especially in the south—east of england. 19, up to 23 degrees and around 17, 20 degrees further north. so next week high—pressure to the west gradually get squeezed out a little bit, a weather front moving south which will introduce some more cloud. some showery outbreaks of rain across england and wales on monday. moving south. to the north of that summer sunshine but feeling a little bit fresher on monday. temperature 17, 20 degrees. but nevertheless of course the june 20 degrees. but nevertheless of course thejune sunshine is really quite strong so it will still feel fairly pleasant. but as we go through the week we start to see some cooler air moving south and

temperatures will continue to drop and with that some outbreaks of rain. a bit more unsettled as we go through the rest of the week. thank you, simon. earlierthis yearstrict rules came into force across britain regarding the ownership of american xl bully dogs. but since the rules were introduced there have been several more incidents and some of these fatal involving the animals. our reporter has been taking a look. it is scary that this happened in our neighbourhood to a lady that was very kind. very scary.— very kind. very scary. behind those in'uries very kind. very scary. behind those injuries and — very kind. very scary. behind those injuries and this _

to stand in the next election, so why should we care what he says? you should be analysing his attempts to generate publicity instead of giving him free airtime to just say whatever he wants. the him free airtime to 'ust say whatever he wants. the attention beini whatever he wants. the attention being given _ whatever he wants. the attention being given or— whatever he wants. the attention being given or not _ whatever he wants. the attention being given or not given - whatever he wants. the attention being given or not given to - whatever he wants. the attention | being given or not given to parties over done reform uk was under the spotlight. last week we had this wish from the bbc election. well, the proportionate coverage of candidates and parties is a central part of the bbc�*s general election guidelines, and here to talk about

them is the corporation's political adviser. just remind us, what are the key guidelines, and are they different to last time? thea;r the key guidelines, and are they different to last time?— the key guidelines, and are they different to last time? they are not substantially _ different to last time? they are not substantially different. _ different to last time? they are not substantially different. one - different to last time? they are not substantially different. one of - different to last time? they are not substantially different. one of the i substantially different. one of the key things people think about is how do we decide about relative levels of coverage for different parties. both ofcom and the bbc guidelines emphasise very much this principle of past and current electoral support. that is how you judge how much coverage the different parties are broadly going to get. past support means of voting, the last election. other subsequent different elections, all evidence of electoral support. of course, if you look at the situation now, it may be different to five years ago. you have to take account of opinion polls. notjust one or two of the most recent ones, but very much looking at a consistent and robust

trend in opinion polls to see where support lies across the uk. that is also taken into account in making the decision.— the decision. some viewers have complained _ the decision. some viewers have complained the _ the decision. some viewers have complained the bbc _ the decision. some viewers have complained the bbc has - the decision. some viewers have complained the bbc has given i the decision. some viewers have i complained the bbc has given nigel farage a lot of coverage. how does it fit with the bbc�*s guidelines? lots of people will be talking about the election who aren't candidates. the first ministers of scotland and wales on candidates, but we hear lots from them. it doesn't decide what we hear about. but reform uk used to be the brexit party, they did very well in 2019. they won an election, european election, and although that may not get as much weight as it is last time, it still bodes. ofcom so you have to think about to electoral cycles. if you look at the opinion polls, over a

large, reform uk has got around 11 or 12% in the opinion polls, more than the liberal democrats. that is not the be all and end all but we take it into account in making sure that notjust of those parties being given airtime, but that we are scrutinising them. that is important. when nigel farage spoke, you are holding him to account, holding the party to account. some viewers have _ holding the party to account. some viewers have said _ holding the party to account. some viewers have said the _ holding the party to account. some viewers have said the liberal - viewers have said the liberal democrats and greens did well in recent local elections and they feel they aren't getting that reflected in the amount of airtime. how would you respond? you in the amount of airtime. how would you respond?— you respond? you look at the last ieneral you respond? you look at the last general election _ you respond? you look at the last general election but _ you respond? you look at the last general election but other - you respond? you look at the last i general election but other elections as well, including the local elections. that is taken into account in making thejudgments. the account in making the 'udgments. the snp, account in making the judgments. the snp, and some viewers are complaining they shouldn't be

getting as much coverage in a national election because they only stand in scotland. it national election because they only stand in scotland.— stand in scotland. it will depend what the story — stand in scotland. it will depend what the story is, _ stand in scotland. it will depend what the story is, the _ stand in scotland. it will depend i what the story is, the programme stand in scotland. it will depend - what the story is, the programme is, where it is being broadcast. there isn't a single rule. as you say, the snp or the third biggest party in the house of commons, and that should be reflected. the liberal democrats have fewer seats in the house of commons, but across the uk they probably have more votes. those two parties are pretty similar. it depends on what you're talking about. if you are talking about something up for election but devolved, you will make a judgment about whether it is relevant. ibihd about whether it is relevant. and viewers may _ about whether it is relevant. and viewers may be _ about whether it is relevant. and viewers may be interested in how you measure and monitor the amount of coverage each party gets. is it on a daily basis or weekly basis? there is a system _ daily basis or weekly basis? there is a system to _ daily basis or weekly basis? there is a system to make _ daily basis or weekly basis? there is a system to make sure - daily basis or weekly basis? there is a system to make sure each - is a system to make sure each programme knows what it is doing and keeps a track record of it. i would

say that isn't necessarily the definitive measure of what impartiality is, because it is important to keep track of time and if one party is getting more time, but may not be fair. even if they are getting identical time, you've got to think about the tone of the interview, what sort of interview is it, is it a light or scrutinising one? it may be fine in certain programmes. time is important, but it is not a definitive measure. you have sopervise — it is not a definitive measure. you have supervise a _ it is not a definitive measure. you have supervise a number of general elections over the last couple of decades. it can feel the bbc is under scrutiny, there's been a number of reviews about impartiality. does it feel different this time? it impartiality. does it feel different this time? , ., , impartiality. does it feel different thistime? , . , , this time? it is early days, every ieneral this time? it is early days, every general election _ this time? it is early days, every general election we _ this time? it is early days, every general election we feel - this time? it is early days, every general election we feel under i general election we feel under scrutiny, and that is right. we are a public service broadcaster, we should be held to account. it applies at every general election.

what is possibly different now is social media has made a big difference to how people watch what we do and how they talk to each other, and sometimes only see things in isolation. they may see one thing without contextualising it and seeing other things that make it clear we are doing different things and not the particular thing that may have annoyed them.- and not the particular thing that may have annoyed them. thank you very much- — may have annoyed them. thank you very much. before _ may have annoyed them. thank you very much. before we _ may have annoyed them. thank you very much. before we leave - may have annoyed them. thank you very much. before we leave the - very much. before we leave the election, it's been a watery read for the liberal democrat leader ed jb. on saturday he took a boat trip in chichester —— ed davey. on tuesday he made a splash whilst huddled boarding. and on thursday he was getting wet again in somerset. once again, the liberal democrats are going for the real photo opportunity. i hope you can see ed davey going to the slides. off he

warning there are increasing shortages of some drugs and they are having to turn patients away. the biggest game in club football is almost upon us, ion wembley as two england players go head—to—head in the champions league final. while there is some cloud around for the weekend, for most of us it is dry and warm, sunny spells. i will bring you the full details shortly. good morning. president biden has set out a new proposal from president biden has set out a new proposalfrom israel president biden has set out a new proposal from israel which president biden has set out a new proposalfrom israel which he says could end the war in gaza. he called it a decisive moment in the conflict and urged both sides to accept the deal. our first report this hour is from vincent mcaviney. after almost eight months of israeli response to the 7th october attacks by hamas, gaza lays largely in ruins, with the lives of palestinians

who call it home turned upside down. more than 36,000 have been killed across the region, according to the hamas—run health ministry. hundreds of thousands are displaced and aid is struggling to reach them. the conflict has put the us—israel relationship under immense pressure. but in a surprise move, president biden unveiled a new peace proposal and ceasefire offer from israel. i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely. some — some are even in the government coalition. and they've made it clear they want to occupy gaza. they want to keep fighting for years. and the hostages are not a priority to them. well, i've urged the leadership in israel to stand behind this deal, despite whatever pressure comes. president biden outlined a three—phase proposal that would begin with an immediate

six—week ceasefire. at the same time, israeli forces would carry out a withdrawal from gaza. israeli hostages in gaza would be exchanged for palestinian prisoners, and 600 trucks of humanitarian aid would be delivered there each day. in the second phase, hamas and israel would negotiate a permanent end to hostilities. the final phase would include a major reconstruction operation in gaza with international support. among those urging hamas to get on board was foreign secretary david cameron, posting on social media, "let's seize this moment and bring this conflict to an end." for president biden, resolving the conflict has become a political imperative ahead of elections in five months' time. he's been losing the support of some younger voters and muslim voters. both have been vocal in their dissatisfaction

at events in gaza. for palestinians in gaza, if hamas agrees to this deal, it will be the start of a long road to rebuild some semblance of the lives they once had. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. our middle east correspondent is here for us. i suppose it depends greatly on the other nations which are trying to push both sides towards peace? exactly, good morning. ithink some of the key points of these proposals are familiar because they are very similar to a proposal put forward by the egyptians some weeks ago, but i think the fact the president made a speech at the white house might be a significant intervention. i think this is part of the strategy, biden is trying to put pressure on both

israel and hamas to accept this. he said this was a crucial moment and again, he urged hamas in particular to support this deal. again, this first phase would see a temporary six week ceasefire in gaza. it would see the release of some hostages held in gaza and some palestinian prisoners would be freed from israeli jails. then hamas and israel would negotiate terms for a second phase and crucially the second phase would see a permanent ceasefire, essentially the end of the war which has been a key demand of hamas negotiators and it seems to be a concession from the israeli side. i think it was very interesting that yesterday, president biden acknowledged that not everybody in israel would be accepting this deal, israel would be accepting this deal, i think it is very likely that this deal will face

out his vision for an election campaign based on the politics of personal grievance. we had a conflicted judge. highly conflicted. there's never been a more conflicted judge. so i'm the leading person for president and i'm under a gag order by a man that can't put two sentences together. but he's a very big danger to our country. and the only way they think they can win this election is by doing exactly what they're doing right now — win it in the courts because they can't win it at the ballot box. the accusation is without foundation. mr trump's guilty verdicts were delivered on the evidence by 12 jurors, finding that he'd falsified records to hide hush money payments to the porn star stormy daniels to keep her claim that they had had sex from us voters. hi, everyone. in his first comments on the verdict, president biden described mr trump's attacks on the court, the judge and the system as a whole, as dangerous. it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just

because they don't like the verdict. 0urjustice system has endured for nearly 250 years. and it literally is the cornerstone of america. but minds are already made up — americans are now a people talking past each other across a deep political divide. there's no doubting the seismic significance of having a convicted felon as republican candidate for president. but the political implications are harder to discern. on the one hand, it might put some voters off. on the other, mr trump will do everything he can to use it for his advantage. the former president claimed that, in the few hours since the verdict was delivered, he had already raised almost $40 million in campaignfunds. john sudworth, bbc news, new york.

our north america correspondent has been telling us what the reaction has been since hearing from donald trump. has been since hearing from donald trum -. .. ., has been since hearing from donald trum. ., trump. the reaction, as you can imagine. — trump. the reaction, as you can imagine. has — trump. the reaction, as you can imagine, has been _ trump. the reaction, as you can imagine, has been split - trump. the reaction, as you can imagine, has been split very - trump. the reaction, as you can i imagine, has been split very much between those who support donald trump and those who oppose him. his supporters, especially republican lawmakers in congress, they have been very critical of the courts decision. donald trump is almost certainly going to be the republican party's nominee in the presidential elections and the party have rallied around him, even those republicans who perhaps have been more sceptical of the donald trump's rougher edges in the past, but as the democrats, his opponents of course, many of them supportive of this verdict, they are releasing statements calling donald trump a convicted felon, a criminal. that is of course what he is now officially. and many of them also using the phrase no one

is above the law and that was the message echoed by president biden earlier today in that address from the white house. he pushed back against those unsubstantiated claims from donald trump and others that this trial was part of a politically motivated witch hunt, he said those comments were reckless and that the justice system should be respected. i think it is clear that donald trump is going to use this verdict to attack president biden, galvanise his supporters and to boost his own position, put himself, donald trump, at the centre is the victim in all of this. �* ., ., at the centre is the victim in all of this. . ., ,, ., .. of this. after a week of campaigning which saw several _ of this. after a week of campaigning which saw several key _ of this. after a week of campaigning which saw several key battle - of this. after a week of campaigning which saw several key battle lines i which saw several key battle lines are drawn ahead of the general election, all parties have course out of this weekend for support. our political correspondent ione wells joins us now.

an eventful week i think that some people may be suggesting policy has not been at the forefront? that people may be suggesting policy has not been at the forefront?— not been at the forefront? that is riiht, i not been at the forefront? that is right. i think _ not been at the forefront? that is right, i think both _ not been at the forefront? that is right, i think both major- not been at the forefront? that is right, i think both major parties i right, i think both major parties have been quite frustrated in the last couple of weeks of what they have seen as a distraction from their policy announcements, whether it was the labour row over whether diane abbott would stand again as an mp orfrom the diane abbott would stand again as an mp or from the conservative perspective the series of some kind of gaffe when it came to photo ops and i think both parties keays move on from these distractions and get back to policies. they are campaigning about trying to reform employment and benefits, they said they will give mayors more powers to improve schemes in their local areas and join up careers services and job

centre is a bit more to give young people more support when tying to get into work, trying to get millions more off welfare into work. that is labour, the conservatives say they would add 20 more, sorry 30 more towns to their existing towns funds he would receive money for regenerating high streets which is part of a levelling up plans. the liberal democrats have an eye—catching announcement saying they would change the law to mandate they would change the law to mandate the premier league to show at least ten games a season on free to air television, criticising the hike to streaming platforms and season tickets being expensive for those who want to watch premier league games. the snp are campaigning in the north—east of scotland, not really any big new policy announcements but are hammering a message they want to drive out the conservatives, so i think that is

the key message this weekend, all the key message this weekend, all the parties out and about campaigning in what will still be a long election campaign had. george galloway will launch the general election campaign for the workers party of britain today. mr galloway, who won the rochdale by—election in february, says the party will put up more than 400 candidates. a 20—year—old man has been charged with murdering a woman amie gray, a 34—year—old personal trainer — seen on the left of this picture — died at the scene. nasen saadi, from croydon, who is also charged with attempted murder, is due to appear before poole magistrates today. french authorities say a teenager has been arrested over a plan to attack a football stadium during the olympic games in paris this summer. officials said they acted on evidence that the suspect, an 18—year—old chechen man, was planning an islamist—inspired attack on the main stadium in the city of saint etienne.

of medications in the uk. the national pharmacy association, which represents independent community pharmacists, says there's an increasing use of emergency measures to prescribe alternatives when a drug isn't available. our health correspondent, dominic hughes, reports. pharmacists say the supply of medicines is complicated. it's an international business that can be affected by changes in global demand, prices, and exchange rates, as well as manufacturing problems and the supply chain. and the availability of some drugs has been problematic. the evidence — the use of serious shortage protocols, issued by the department of health and social care and applied across the uk. they allow community pharmacists to supply alternative drugs if there's a shortage of a particular medicine. the national pharmacy association says they've been issued 50 times in the past two years, but in the two years before that, just 15 were issued. a whole range of medicines have been affected — including forangina, epilepsy, adhd, and cystic fibrosis.

university student amber lives with cystic fibrosis and is struggling to get medication that helps her digest food. without it, i basically can't eat. also, to try and get the medicine i'm having to drive around for hours and hours to different pharmacies taking these scripts. finishing second year is like carnage for... really stressful for, like, a normal student, but a student that can't eat properly — like, can't find the medicine that keeps me alive — that stress is just unimaginable! pharmacists say they are increasingly having to turn patients away. unfortunately, because of the issues that we're currently facing with medicine shortages, we are having to turn patients away. and we see first hand the stress that it causes for a lot of patients — particularly those who have been on these medicines for a long time, or they're seeking the medicines for their children. and it's heartbreaking for us

as health care professionals, as pharmacists, to have to send patients away, or to have to tell them that they're going to have to wait longer to get the medicines. the uk is not the only country in the world experiencing problems with drug supplies — it's a global issue. but the npa says it wants all the main parties in the election to commit to tackling the shortages. dominic hughes, bbc news. we're joined now by pharmacist ian strachan. good morning. so people can kind of understand the nature of the work you do, you told us you have already beenin you do, you told us you have already been in your pharmacy this morning to try and get things ready. yes. to try and get things ready. yes, that is the _ to try and get things ready. yes, that is the nature _ to try and get things ready. yes, that is the nature of _ to try and get things ready. is: that is the nature of pharmacy right now. we are being asked to do more and more, a funding crisis on top of that and the pressures and the time pressures in being able to deliver on that means we just have to do more and more. we

welcome back. as the general election approaches, political parties face the task of appealing to voters of all ages. when it comes to young people, keir starmer

said he would consider lower the voting age if labour wins the election. rishi sunak has proposed a form of national service for 18—year—olds if the conservatives win. in an attempt to appeal to older voters, both labour and the conservatives and the lib dems have all ruled out increasing vat, income tax rates and national insurance in the next parliament. in barnsley, voters from opposite ends of the age spectrum have been sharing their thoughts. bbc look north's political editor, james vincent has this report. when this is your seventh general election, it makes you feel pretty old when you talk to people about to vote in their first. i mean, obviously, you guys are really interested in it. if there's one thing that they could say to 18 year olds, whichever party it is, what would you like? what would you like them to say? for me, i'm very interested in what we're doing for environmental change. and also education is a big one. and more specifically on education, what we're doing for university, what we're doing for university. it's probably a lot to do with the climate on education as well and definitely engaging with younger voters. if they engage more with younger

voters, i'm more inclined to listen to what they have to say. obviously, two policies have dominated the first week of campaigning that will really affect young people. votes at 16, and national service. i do think votes at 16 is a good idea. obviously being able to join the army pay tax and you know, you kind of become more of a member of society at 16. so why should you not have a say? go on, the national service? what do you think? i'm not a fan of it. i think that the party should have gone out and talk to young people before announcing that that's what they're going to introduce, because obviously i feel like a lot of the general public can see that it's not what young people want. but if the partyjust went out and spoke to more young people, i think they'd have realised that that's not a popular thing. so younger voters wants to be listened to more. but we thought we'd take a stroll through barnsley town centre across town to speak to some more

experienced voters, ones with elections under their belts. and if you want to get slapped around the chops at barnsley market, go asking people if they're older voters. we've been up to the college to speak to younger voters and to speak to some older voters. thank you. yeah, sorry about that. we're talking about the election, have you heard anything so far that's going to make you decide who to vote for on additional and we. you decide who to vote for? it isa it is a red herring. it is a red herring _ it is a red herring. it is a red herring it's— it is a red herring. it is a red herring. it's a no—go. it is a red herring. it is a red herring. it's a no-go. national service, herring. it's a no-go. national service. i'm — herring. it's a no-go. national service, i'm for _ herring. it's a no-go. national service, i'm for it, _ herring. it's a no-go. national service, i'm for it, because i herring. it's a no-go. national. service, i'm for it, because they can't _ service, i'm for it, because they can't get — service, i'm for it, because they can't get jobs _ service, i'm for it, because they can't get jobs and _ service, i'm for it, because they can't get jobs and that, but - service, i'm for it, because theyi can't get jobs and that, but apart from _ can't get jobs and that, but apart from that, — can't get jobs and that, but apart from that, no _ can't get jobs and that, but apart from that, no. you _ can't get jobs and that, but apart from that, no. you can— can't get jobs and that, but apart from that, no. you can make - can't get jobs and that, but apart from that, no. you can make it. can't get jobs and that, but apart| from that, no. you can make it to the same — from that, no. you can make it to the same old _ from that, no. you can make it to the same old feeling, _ from that, no. you can make it to the same old feeling, promises, i the same old feeling, promises, promises — the same old feeling, promises, promises it— the same old feeling, promises, promises it is— the same old feeling, promises, promises- it i— the same old feeling, promises, promises. iti promises. it is whether they carried it out. is promises. it is whether they carried it out- is that _ promises. it is whether they carried it out. is that experience _ promises. it is whether they carried it out. is that experience talking? i it out. is that experience talking? yeah. it out. is that experience talking? yeah- they _ it out. is that experience talking? yeah. they have _ it out. is that experience talking? yeah. they have done _ it out. is that experience talking? yeah. they have done nothing - it out. is that experience talking? yeah. they have done nothing to | it out. is that experience talking? - yeah. they have done nothing to wear e elid. it is yeah. they have done nothing to wear eyelid- it is so — yeah. they have done nothing to wear eyelid. it is so boring, _ yeah. they have done nothing to wear eyelid. it is so boring, i— yeah. they have done nothing to wear eyelid. it is so boring, i am _ yeah. they have done nothing to wear eyelid. it is so boring, i am not- eyelid. it is so boring, i am not listeninl eyelid. it is so boring, i am not listening to _ eyelid. it is so boring, i am not listening to the _ eyelid. it is so boring, i am not listening to the news. - eyelid. it is so boring, i am not listening to the news. that - eyelid. it is so boring, i am not listening to the news. that is i eyelid. it is so boring, i am not. listening to the news. that is bad news for me. _ listening to the news. that is bad news for me, i'm _ listening to the news. that is bad

affected the squad today, the preparations, the game — everything that came along with that? i think the focus has been good. we spoke about a lot of different things that we thought we might need to anticipate, and i thought we were really focused at the start of the game. i thought we were excellent. we didn't let it disrupt us. and i thought we started the game really well on the front foot, and getting the early goals i think helped usjust settle in. as for the defending champions, england, their struggles continue in qualifying — the lionesses beaten again, this time by france. it finished 2—1 in newcastle — england were in front through beth mead after half an hour. but france struck twice with marie—antoinette katoto scoring what proved to be the winner. so england, who've lost one and drawn one in their two home games so far, drop to third in the group and face france again — this time in saint—etienne on tuesday. i thought we probably scored against play, but since then we probably

dominated the game a lot more of them. two very good teams, but unfortunately, yeah, small margins, and they scored from two set pieces, so it's something we need to look at. wales' perfect start to qualifying is over. they'd won their first two — but had to settle for a 1—1 draw with ukraine, an early error helping to give the visitors the lead. but wales rescued a point thanks to a second—half penalty from kayleigh barton and it keeps them top of their group. northern ireland's unbeaten start is over too. they were beaten 4—0 by portugal in their third group game. it means their second in their group, whilst portugal are top with three wins from three. either bath or sale will confirm their place in rugby union's premiership grand final later today. they already know who awaits next weekend at twickenham. and that's northampton who won their semifinal last night — beating saracens. just — this penalty from fin smith 10 minutes from time, proving vital —

as northampton hung on for a 22—20 win at franklins gardens. and in the united rugby championship, glasgow already assured of a playoff place — beat zebre 38 points to 26. it means they can still finish in the top two depending on other results. leaders leinster beat connacht 33—7 in the night's other match. in rugby league's super league, leaders st helens are two points clear at the top. after beating catalans dragons 24—12 — the home side running in four tries — tommy makinson with their third. elsewhere, huddersfield beat hull fc by 24 points to 18. a field of 16 runners will go to post for the derby at epsom this afternoon, the most famous flat race in the world with city of troy the favourite to win. yesterday, it was all about irish—trained horse ezeliya. with the king and queen watching, the 13—2 second favourite, ridden byjockey chris hayes, went on to win the oaks. a day to remember for trainer dermot weld, who last trained an oaks winner back in 1981.

the fight between heavyweight boxing legend mike tyson and youtube star—turned—fighter jake paul has been postponed. the contest had been scheduled forjuly 20th but has been put on hold after tyson was said to have experienced a "medical issue" last sunday while on a cross—country flight. he's since said an ulcer flare up was to blame. a new date will be announced later next week with texas still expected to host the fight. i like the good nature between them, usually it is quite argy—bargy. yes. usually it is quite argy-bargy. yes, a 30 ear usually it is quite argy-bargy. yes, a 30 year age _ usually it is quite argy-bargy. yes, a 30 year age difference _ usually it is quite argy— bargy. te: a 30 year age difference between them, a lot of people calling it a circus. a youtube star against a former legend. tt circus. a youtube star against a former legend.— circus. a youtube star against a former legend. if you're going to sit in and watch _ former legend. if you're going to sit in and watch this _ former legend. if you're going to sit in and watch this with - former legend. if you're going to sit in and watch this with us. - former legend. if you're going to sit in and watch this with us. it i former legend. if you're going toj sit in and watch this with us. it is a little bit of a footballing skill. it is ace got. this is scott whitehouse, in chesterfield, and he has copped attention because of his rather good skills. so, what we thought is, and it was all caught on

of blue skies in dorset, even across eastern areas where it was very cloudy yesterday, some outbreaks of rain. some improvement this morning with sunny spells, but there is still quite a nagging northerly wind across these eastern areas, so it might feel a little chilly at times you today. warm, sunny spells for most of us. some cloud across the far south—east of england, early morning rain clearing away here. lots of dry weather, with sunny spells. just a small possibility of one or two showers. you'll have to have good eyesight to pick out this shower here, but aberdeenshire, perhaps one or two showers across northern england as well. it is dry and sunny, was still in northerly winds making it feel a bit chillier. further west, we have the sunny spells, that is where we will see the highest temperatures today. 19, 20 degrees in cardiff and glasgow, 16 or 17 degrees along the north sea. as you go through to may, we'll still have the wind blowing in a little bit of cloud towards the far

some cloud and showery outbreaks of rain moving southward across england and wales during monday. sunshine returning across northern areas on monday. temperatures, while they won't be quite a size tomorrow, still pleasant enough in that sunshine when it comes out. 17 to 20, 20 one celsius. as we go through the week, those temperatures will drop down a little bit more. we have a north—westerly wind, and that will bring in some slightly cooler air across the uk as we go through the week. it will turn a little more unsettled throughout the week as well. with some showers and outbreaks of rain. still temperatures 13 to 20 degrees. it will still feel fairly pleasant. good stuff, it feels like summer is finally creeping in. 8:47am the time. next week marks the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings — and ahead of the date we've been

boeing's starliner spacecraft is ready for lift—off — again. the rocket was due to blast into orbit several years ago but the mission was delayed due to technical problems. later today, the spaceship will attempt to carry two nasa astronauts to the international space station. our science correspondent pallab ghosh can tell us more about today's launch. starliner is a brand—new spacecraft, but it looks like the apollo module used in the mid—landings more than 50 years ago. it carried three astronauts, whereas starliner has a maximum capacity of seven. the spacecraft will take a day to reach the space station, where it will test out its docking and cargo transportation systems. the mission will last for around a week, and on returning to earth, the crew will experience starliner�*s landing experience sta rliner�*s landing system, experience starliner�*s landing system, which will touch down in the desert of the south—western united states. joining us now is astrophysicist dr chris copperwheat. liverpool genre's university. you

this is the interesting thing about this new space flight both in terms of what boeing and space x are doing. the actual spacecraft itself, the bit because up and down again, is reusable. i think they will be able to use the spacecraft when it begins routine operations for as many as six fights backwards and forwards. �* , , . , forwards. there's this incredible technology _ forwards. there's this incredible technology developing - forwards. there's this incredible technology developing all - forwards. there's this incredible technology developing all the i forwards. there's this incredible i technology developing all the time to make it more and more usable. the human side of these things, going back to what you said before. they were on board stop they were told there was a problem. i mean, right at the core of the human instincts, surely as an astronaut, you are prepared for everything? you have the best engineers in the world. the one thing you don't really want to hear is, we've got a problem. i know it is better to know it not know it, which is obviously the most important thing, but these are very dramatic moments?— important thing, but these are very dramatic moments? absolutely. it is better for them _ dramatic moments? absolutely. it is better for them to _ dramatic moments? absolutely. it is better for them to know _ dramatic moments? absolutely. it is better for them to know it _ dramatic moments? absolutely. it is better for them to know it before - better for them to know it before they have ignited the engine, rather than afterwards. i guess we think of

astronauts with these heroes, they have the right stuff, they have nerves of steel, and these are the moments without really comes to the fore. the same astronauts will be on the pad today in the same situation. and their stress tested, in the same way, i guess, as the structure itself in terms of what they can cope with and the problems they might face?— might face? absolutely, it is a rilorous might face? absolutely, it is a rigorous process. _ might face? absolutely, it is a rigorous process. the - might face? absolutely, it is a rigorous process. the one - rigorous process. the one interesting thing, i might mention, the crew can be up to seven, but it is expected that on some of these trips are some of those seats will be reserved for space tourists, so this part of the way they will commercialise these fights. it is this part of the way they will commercialise these fights. it is a business now. _ commercialise these fights. it is a business now, space? _ commercialise these fights. it is a business now, space? it - commercialise these fights. it is a business now, space? it is - business now, space? it is competitive. the correctness of the whole thing. nasa see their ambitions in terms of what they want to do in terms of base— to do in terms of base exploration, the see to do in terms of base exploration, they see space _ to do in terms of base exploration, they see space orbit _ to do in terms of base exploration, they see space orbit on _ to do in terms of base exploration, they see space orbit on the - to do in terms of base exploration, they see space orbit on the space i
