south african parties are gearing up for coalition talks as the ruling anc has lost its majority in parliament for the first time in 30 years. in the uk, the electoral campaign enters its second week, with the political leaders making pledges on wealth and levelling up across the country. the polls are due to close in the last phase of india's general election — with nearly one billion people eligible to vote. ticketmaster's owner, live nation, confirms hackers have accessed customer data. hello and welcome. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says his country's conditions for ending the war in gaza remain the destruction of hamas and the freeing of all hostages.

he was responding to a peace plan proposed by the us presidentjoe biden last night. hamas said it would engage with any proposals offering a permanent ceasefire and for israel to withdraw completely from gaza. vincent mcaviney reports. 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. and a little later in the programme, we'll be speaking to the uk foreign secretary, lord cameron so do stay with us.

the uk prime minister rishi sunak has said it's crucial the new proposals are accepted. we are going to get a little bit more from the uk foreign secretary. rishi sunak has been talking about the deal that has been suggested, proposed by president biden. south african political parties are gearing up for coalition talks as the african national congress looks certain to lose its outright majority for the first time since the end of apartheid. results from 97% of polling stations show the anc at around 40% after this week's election, a sharp drop from the last one, and in order to continue governing it would have to enter a coalition. we are continuing to monitor the situation in south africa because those coalition talks will be

ongoing. after weeks of voting, polls are about to close in the last phase of india's general election — the biggest the world has ever seen. the final stage of balloting has been taking place in eight northern and eastern states in the middle of a severe heatwave. at least 30 people have died of heat stroke. water and fans to cool voters have been provided at some polling stations. india's huge population make this election quite staggering in scale. let's take a look at some of the numbers involved. some 969 million people were eligible to vote — that's more than the populations of the us, russia, japan, britain, brazil and france combined. that includes 13.4 million indian citizens who live abroad but will need to have registered and returned to india.

nearly 1.5 million polling booths were set up across the country, including some unusual locations — like mountain tops and forests. they will elect 543 mps in the polls which have run in seven phases over six weeks. results will be announced on the 4th ofjune. 0ne one month later, the 4th ofjuly, uk elections because after one week of general election campaigning here, all parties are out again this weekend of violence for support. rishi sunak has pledged to give 30 towns across the uk £20 million each if the conservatives are re—elected. while labour vowed to boost employment and increase support for people with long—term illness. meanwhile the liberal democrats promised to make ten premier league games available

on free—to—air—tv per season. 0ur political correspondent ione wells reports. applause. cheers, change and cheesy grins. labour are hoping to show a positive front today with. .. the launch of the bus. angela's bus! laughter. doesn't it look fantastic? after their campaign was a little derailed this week by internal fallout over whether diane abbott could run as a labour candidate. sir keir starmer clarified yesterday she was free to stand. well, i dealt with that issue yesterday. today is about taking our argument to the country and getting people back to work. there are millions of people who aren't in work, who are on benefits, who desperately want the dignity and respect of being back to work. we are putting our plan on the table to reform the job centres so that they can actually be places that support people back into work. the conservatives are also trying to refocus this weekend after another former tory mp said they were switching their allegiance to labour.

and that is what we are going to stop, aren't we? rishi sunak�*s pitch to stop others following was a promise to invest £20 million in 30 towns. the majority are seats currently held by the conservatives, he denied the choice was political. i'm not going to make any apology for supporting towns. it is where the majority of people live, they were neglected for decades under previous labour governments and we are in teesside today, it is a great example of a place that we focused on as a government. people can see the change in the communities that has happened. i want to make sure we spread that type of opportunity and pride right across the country. the liberal democrat leader sir ed davey says he is taking today to care for his son who has severe disabilities. his campaign, though, are out touring the south coast. their pledge today is to change the law to force the premier league to show ten games per season on free—to—air television — criticising the rising cost of season tickets and subscription channels. manchester city, champions again!

there are still weeks to go at this campaign and all parties hope these pledges will help them be victorious on the 4th ofjuly. ione wells, bbc news. it's one of the biggest ever global consumer hacks — the owner of the ticketing website, ticketmaster has confirmed that hackers have accessed customer data. live nation entertainment says it's working to mitigate risk to users after the hackers offered personal data for sale on the dark net. earlier this week, the hacking group, shinyhunters, said it had hacked the personal details of more than half a billion ticketmaster customers. our business reporter simon browning told me more about this earlier. this is a massive attack. a significant, significant and a huge hike. and a huge hack. firstly, ticketmaster, a company we know all around the world if like festivals, concerts, comedians, it is likely you have used ticketmaster's platforms to book tickets to go to those events. millions of customers, millions have signed up,

millions have given over their data. it was first reported on thursday when hackers said they had hacked ticketmaster but there was no confirmation of that but this morning in a filing in the us in the security and exchange commission, the owners of ticketmaster indicated there had been malicious forces involved and a cyber attack. we are still waiting for some more details from ticketmaster as it stands but earlier this week, 560 million ticketmaster customers had their data and information obtained by a company called shinyhunters, they said they obtained ticketmaster's data. that includes names, addresses, phone numbers and from what we understand, partial credit cards. shinyhunters say they have demanded £500,000 ransom to prevent the data from being sold on to other platforms but that is still to be worked out. santander, as you say, a banking group operating around the world said yesterday they had been involved in a hack with the same company and some

of their customers and colleagues had had information hacked in chile, spain and uruguay. the company shinyhunters have also been accused of hacking in other places previously, at&t in the usa and pizza hut in australia, it is significant, ticketmaster a massive platform here in the uk. this morning, they are selling tickets for a new janet jackson tour and james blunt. it is a big operation. 0ur our thanks to simon browning there. now it's time for a look at today's sport with hugh ferris. there aren't any english teams represented in the champions league final in london later. but there are two key english players that'll be involved at wembley. jadon sancho and jude bellingham may well be central to the match between borussia dortmund and 14 time winners real madrid, as 0lly foster reports. his first season in spain has been nothing short of incredible where some players wilt in the white

heat of real madrid. jude bellingham has taken the greatest side in european football and his own game to another level. la liga's player of the year up against his former side this evening. the fans�* favourite favourite to become a champions league winner he can do everything like he attacks, he defends. for me the mvp tomorrow. the new zidane. bellingham will also be carrying england's hopes at the euros this summer. not so long ago, jadon sancho had that ambition. he started last year's fa cup final with manchester united, but fell out with the manager erik ten hag at the start of this season and was frozen out, returning to borussia dortmund on loan. he's been the spark they needed. unbelievable player. i hope we can hold him to dortmund. it's very important for us. good, good, good dribbling, good offensive player. in manchesterjust sitting on the bench, you know. and here he has the spirit again.

he loves the game. dortmund haven't been given much of a chance in the final but real have pushed their luck through the knockout stage, penalties to get past manchester city, late goals against bayern munich but that is what they do. that is why they have been european champions 14 times. gareth bale has played his part in recent real successes and told me he can't see a way past his former side. of course real madrid can possibly lose but i don't believe they will so i just think the experience they have in the team, even obviously being a young squad as well, they have already won the champions league a few years ago so, they will be going with the same mindset, we will know what to expect which is the most important and i'm sure carlo will be keeping them all calm and doing what he normally does. the last time the final took place here in 2013, dortmund were beaten by bayern munich. they want to put that right. real have won back the champions league five times since then and the fans know

who is most likely to help them become kings of europe once again. bellingham! 0lly foster, bbc news, wembley. rain has affected play on the outside courts at the french open... but under the roof world number four elena rybakina has eased into the last 16. the former wimbledon champion beat belgium's elise mertens in straight sets with the kazakh player hoping to improve on her best performance at roland garros which was reaching the quarter—finals back in in 2021. she'll face either ukraine's elina svitolina or romanian ana bogdan in the fourth round. thailand's wichanee meechai has a two shot lead heading into the third round of the us women's open in pennsylvania but lexi thompson won't be there for the weekend in her final us women's open before retiring at the end of the season. she missed the cut. as did world number one nelly korda for the first time in nearly a year. after a nightmarish round of 80 on thursday, korda recovered slightly

but couldn't beat the cut line of 8 over par... ending up 10 over. i wanted to make the cut, obviously, i wanted to make the cut, obviously, i knew i was kind of hovering around it but i just i knew i was kind of hovering around it but ijust couldn't get anything going on the back. i wasn't hitting my shots well off the tee, i really struggled off the tee this week and just wasn't getting it close. the majority of my hols, i was saving pars so it is kind of tough out here trying to get under the cut line. what make much more build—up to the chappies league final on our website and via the app. that's it for now, back to you stop studio: you, thank you very much for all the sports news. we studio: you, thank you very much for all the sports news.— all the sports news. we will return to south africa's _ all the sports news. we will return to south africa's election _ all the sports news. we will return to south africa's election where . all the sports news. we will return | to south africa's election where the parties are gearing up for coalition talks as the african national congress looks certain to lose its outright majority for the first time since the end of apartheid. let's cross now to speak to our africa correspondent barbara plett usher whojoins

africa correspondent barbara plett usher who joins us from usher whojoins us from johannesburg. where are we with the results? 99% of voting districts declared so far so very, very close to getting the full result now? yes. to getting the full result now? yes, that's right- — to getting the full result now? yes, that's right- i _ to getting the full result now? yes, that's right. i don't _ to getting the full result now? yes, that's right. i don't think _ to getting the full result now? 1&1: that's right. i don't think we will have too many surprises between 99% and 100%! we pretty much know the landscape which shows that the african national congress has definitely lost its absolute majority, as you mentioned. its unrivalled political power that it has held since apartheid. it has done worse than expected, it is showing to come in at about 40% of the vote. those results aren't official, they are not going to be declared officially today, probably tomorrow, sunday, but they are unlikely to change. this is very much being seen as a verdicts of south africans, who are fed up, who want change, who are punishing the african national congress four years of economic mismanagement and corruption scandals. add to that

this new party, the mk party led by the former presidentjacob zuma which has had a surprisingly strong showing and has really eaten into a lot of the anc support so the results of that are not very good for this party, the former liberation movement. in for this party, the former liberation movement. in that case, barbara, liberation movement. in that case, barbara. how— liberation movement. in that case, barbara, how does _ liberation movement. in that case, barbara, how does it _ liberation movement. in that case, barbara, how does it work - liberation movement. in that case, barbara, how does it work out? - liberation movement. in that case, | barbara, how does it work out? who was talking to who in order to form some sort of government?- was talking to who in order to form some sort of government? well, that is what we are — some sort of government? well, that is what we are all— some sort of government? well, that is what we are all trying _ some sort of government? well, that is what we are all trying to _ some sort of government? well, that is what we are all trying to find - is what we are all trying to find and i think there are a lot of different discussions being held now to lay the groundwork for something a little bit more formal but what i can say is that those talks are complicated and will continue to be complicated and will continue to be complicated because if the anc is to share power and it is still the largest party, it has to find a partner and there is no easy fit. you have for example the second largest party the democratic alliance, very much not somebody the anc would see as a natural coalition

partner because of its free—market agenda, because it has a reputation as the party for the white minority but then the second and third—largest parties on the radical left with manifestos calling for nationalisation and seizing white owned property. again, not an easy thing to try to make into a government agenda. it is going to be interesting to see how they square this circle but i think we are looking at some turbulent coalition talks ahead which will help to shape which direction the country goes. 0k, which direction the country goes. ok, barbara plett usher there in johannesburg, thank you so much and we are continuing to monitor the south africa election on our website as well so lots more detail there but for the time being, from the team there injohannesburg, thank you very much. president biden has said it is dangerous for people to question the integrity of the guilty verdict in donald

trump's hush moneyjury trial. he said the former president had been given every opportunity to defend himself. mr trump has said he will appeal against his criminal conviction. our north america correspondent, john sudworth reports from new york. 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. thanks very much, everybody. 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. ourjustice 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. researchers say a simple saliva test is proving more effective at identifying men at high risk of prostate cancer than standard blood tests. cancer research organisations say it promises to "turn the tide" on the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. for more, i spoke to naser turabi, the director of evidence and implementation at cancer research uk. this test looks for particular genetic variants and it uses a saliva test. so hopefully that will be much easier to take. now, the situation with prostate cancer now is that the current test, known as the psa test, often misses the aggressive cancers and can actually lead to overtreatment of cancers that never would have

actually progressed. so any progress in this area is very welcome. and so by looking at genetics, this test can be much more targeted, hopefully, than the psa test. it's still early days, though, for this test, and it needs more research because we need to test it in a wider pool of people to see if these results stand out. but anything that can detect those aggressive prostate cancers, which are about one in five prostate cancers, is really, really welcome. there's a huge amount of work going on right now across a whole number of cancers on genetic testing. and the challenge with cancer is that you have to cast the net very widely, usually with diagnostics. so the tests that your gp has available to you are often not that sensitive. so if we can use genetics to make them more sensitive, that's incredibly helpful. but one of the challenges that we have is that the genetic pools that we have access to through research need to be broader, they need to reflect the diversity of the population. and particularly, it's said that

black men are at higher risk of prostate cancer, but we really need to understand the genetics of that because it can actually be potentially a subset of black men. and so when you're testing people for cancer and one of the risks is overtreatment, we need to be extremely careful to follow through patients to see what actually happened to their cancers, to see if they would have caused harm. and that's why we need more research. let's return to the middle east and get more details on that proposed peace plan which was unveiled by president biden at the white house. the three—part plan that would begin with a six—week ceasefire in which the israeli forces would withdrawn from populated areas of gaza. there would also be a surge of humanitarian aid as well as an exchange of some hostages for palestinian prisoners. the president said it was "time for this war to end" hamas issued a statement saying it was ready

to deal positively with any proposal offering a permanent ceasefire and a complete israeli withdrawal. both israel and hamas have made broadly positive responses. the uk prime minister rishi sunak has said it's crucial the new proposals are accepted. it is very welcome news and i hope hamas take this opportunity to conclude the deal that is on the table which will ensure the hostages can be released and be back with theirfamilies. that we can flood gaza with far more aid than has been getting in to alleviate the suffering people are experiencing, and then use that pause in the fighting to build a sustainable and lasting peace, which is what we all want to see. so, again, i hope hamas take the opportunity that is on the table to bring an end to the conflict. the uk prime minister speaking there while also campaigning for the uk general election. let's now speak to uk foreign secretary, lord cameron.

thank you forjoining us on bbc news. are you hopeful that the us proposal will actually work? are you hearing that it will work, that hamas and benjamin netanyahu will accept it? hamas and ben'amin netanyahu will accet it? ~ ., .,, accept it? well, we are hopeful because we _ accept it? well, we are hopeful because we believe _ accept it? well, we are hopeful because we believe this - accept it? well, we are hopeful because we believe this is - accept it? well, we are hopeful because we believe this is an i because we believe this is an opportunity that we almost seized to bring this conflict to a permanent end. we have been arguing for a long time that you need, as the prime ministerjust said, have that stop in the fighting and put in place the conditions to make it sustainable so that you don't go back to fighting and you build a peace process. and thatis and you build a peace process. and that is what is on the table. crucially, it has to start with hamas accepting this very generous offer of releasing a lot of business in order to get the hostages out and to have this stuff in the fighting but the eyes of the world should now be on hamas saying this is the chance to stop the fighting, it is in your hands, you must take this opportunity. we in your hands, you must take this opportunity-— in your hands, you must take this opportunity.

in your hands, you must take this o- ortuni . ~ . ., , opportunity. we are hearing there is auoin to be opportunity. we are hearing there is going to be a _ opportunity. we are hearing there is going to be a meeting _ opportunity. we are hearing there is going to be a meeting taking - opportunity. we are hearing there is going to be a meeting taking place | going to be a meeting taking place between the united states, egypt and also israeli officials when it comes to the rafah crossing. the situation has to be resolved there? that to the rafah crossing. the situation has to be resolved there?— has to be resolved there? that is riaht, has to be resolved there? that is right. one _ has to be resolved there? that is right. one of _ has to be resolved there? that is right, one of the _ has to be resolved there? that is right, one of the best _ has to be resolved there? that is right, one of the best things - has to be resolved there? that is. right, one of the best things about the potential of this deal is that we are not only able to get the hostages out but we will be able to flood gaza with aid properly and for that you do need the rafah crossing to be open for the britain i think has played quite a key role in really pressurising the israelis about opening the crossings, the ports, getting aid in. it has been very frustrating at times but we kept up the pressure. but of course the best way to get aid in is to have a stop in the fighting and that is what this deal offers. ilosiith have a stop in the fighting and that is what this deal offers.— is what this deal offers. with the situation though _ is what this deal offers. with the situation though come _ is what this deal offers. with the situation though come up - is what this deal offers. with the situation though come up with i is what this deal offers. with the - situation though come up with hamas, when it comes to netanyahu, he wants to see an end of hamas so how do you negotiate when one party wants the

destruction of hamas, hamas arguably don't want to see an israeli state in israel so it is very difficult for any types of negotiations to take place and i'm going to put this to you but firstly we just do need to you but firstly we just do need to say goodbye to our viewers, our international viewers so they will be leaving us. but lord cameron, i just want to put this to you because it is an impossibly difficult situation. it it is an impossibly difficult situation.— it is an impossibly difficult situation. , ., , , situation. it is absolutely the ri . ht situation. it is absolutely the right question _ situation. it is absolutely the right question and _ situation. it is absolutely the right question and there - situation. it is absolutely the right question and there is i situation. it is absolutely the i right question and there is need situation. it is absolutely the - right question and there is need to be put in place if we are to get a cessation in the violence into a permanent ceasefire and the chance of a political solution and those conditions are basically, you're going to need to strengthen the palestinian authority so it can become the government overtime of gaza. you're going to have to set out the parameters of what a palestinian state would look like, you have got to ensure that gaza is

not run by hamas, that is not going to be acceptable for israel, you can't expect them to live next to people that carried out october the 7th and you need all of the hostages released. added to that, there is the potential benefit for israel but frankly for the whole region of having a normalisation of relations between countries like saudi arabia and israel which i think would be another thing that we can put into this potential political solution. if we put those things all in place, and it is a huge ask to do those things, but you can turn a pause into a sustainable ceasefire into a political process that leads to a permanent settlement of this problem. permanent settlement of this roblem. �* �* . ., problem. but will ben'amin netanyahu accet it problem. but will ben'amin netanyahu accept it because — problem. but will ben'amin netanyahu accept it because he _ problem. but will benjamin netanyahu accept it because he is _ problem. but will benjamin netanyahu accept it because he is being _ accept it because he is being pressurised notjust by the united states, he's been pressurised by the right of his party, they can see no other solution than a military solution. that goes against what president biden is saying in this

proposal. he wants to see a ceasefire. will benjamin netanyahu go for it? ceasefire. will ben'amin netanyahu no for it? ~ ~ . ceasefire. will ben'amin netanyahu ofor it? ~ ~ ., ., go for it? well, i think we have to convince everyone _ go for it? well, i think we have to convince everyone that _ go for it? well, i think we have to convince everyone that is - go for it? well, i think we have to convince everyone that is taking l convince everyone that is taking part in this that ultimately, these conflicts end through a combination of military and political means. i think what we are seeing at the moment is that a purely military solution isn't working and while of course we have backed israel's right to defend itself, we back the idea of a gaza free from hamas leadership, it may be that what is required now is that bringing in the political parts of a solution. fundamentally, there are two problems here. one is the guarantees israel needs for its security and the second is what the palestinians need for the dignity of a path to statehood. you have to try and do those two things, if you only do one you won't get either. lard those two things, if you only do one you won't get either. lord cameron, we saw rishi — you won't get either. lord cameron, we saw rishi sunak _ you won't get either. lord cameron, we saw rishi sunak speaking - you won't get either. lord cameron, we saw rishi sunak speaking about. we saw rishi sunak speaking about this while he was out on the

campaign trail. we have to turn to the uk election as the uk foreign secretary, i am sure you are monitoring very closely what is being said and the most recent polls suggest that when it comes to labour, they are looking at a 300 seat majority with the tories losing all but 66 seats. there is no comeback for the conservative party? i learned in the two election campaigns i ran as leader of the conservative party as there is campaigns i ran as leader of the conservative party as there is only one poll that counts, what happens one poll that counts, what happens on polling day, and i remember being told in 2015i had no chance of winning and it was over for the conservative party and it was over for the conservative party in government and we went on and win that election. i am spending time trying to help with issues such as in the middle east and our support for ukraine, which is so vital, and the prime minister absolutely right to say this is a more dangerous, competitive, difficult world than many of us can remember, but has the same time as doing that, and hitting

the campaign trailand same time as doing that, and hitting the campaign trail and helping conservative
