hello. i'm anna foster. let's start in the middle east, where israel's opposition leader has urged the prime minister to accept a proposal unveiled by president biden aimed at securing a permanent ceasefire in gaza. yair lapid says if right—wing members of benjamin netanyahu's coalition resigned in protest, his party would continue to support the government. it is unclear what that would mean in practice. it comes as mr netanyahu says israel will continue to focus on the destruction of hamas and the freeing of all hostages. he was responding to a three—phase proposalfrom presidentjoe biden who says hamas is no longer capable of launching another october the seventh style attack on israel. meanwhile, egyptian state—linked tv is reporting a meeting between egyptian, us and israeli officials will take place on sunday to discuss the re—opening of the rafah crossing. a short time ago, i spoke with the uk's foreign secretary, lord cameron. i began by asking him

what this deal contained, and how it differs from previous attempts at peace. the deal goes on to a second stage with a longer pause, more israeli withdrawals, and the release of further hostages, then go onto a third stage, hopefully without any return to fighting, when we get onto the rebuilding of gaza. all return to fighting, when we get onto the rebuilding of gaza. mimi return to fighting, when we get onto the rebuilding of gaza.— the rebuilding of gaza. all of these are incredibly _ the rebuilding of gaza. all of these are incredibly difficult _ the rebuilding of gaza. all of these are incredibly difficult to _ the rebuilding of gaza. all of these are incredibly difficult to put - the rebuilding of gaza. all of these are incredibly difficult to put in - are incredibly difficult to put in place but fundamentally, why i think this is a moment he should cease to try to bring this conflict to an end permanently, is that it is one thing to go for a ceasefire but of course, you if you cannot put in place the conditions that make a ceasefire sustainable, then it will not last, and this is an attempt to start to put those conditions in place because we all know that you have got to look at issues of israeli security and issues of palestinian statehood alongside each other, in

order to make a deal last in order to solve this problem. is order to make a deal last in order to solve this problem.— to solve this problem. is the israeli prime _ to solve this problem. is the israeli prime minister - to solve this problem. is the i israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu going to seize this, because the far right elements of his coalition have made it clear they will bring the government down if he ends the war, so how is that going to encourage mr netanyahu to back this deal? i going to encourage mr netanyahu to back this deal?— back this deal? i think what this offers to the — back this deal? i think what this offers to the israeli _ back this deal? i think what this offers to the israeli government back this deal? i think what this i offers to the israeli government is first of all the chance to get the hostages out, which everybody in israel wants, and eight then provides a process during which you can put in place the things that will make a ceasefire permanent. obviously that will be challenging. and it is challenging, notjust for the israeli government, but any really, to release prisoners in return for hostages which should never have been taken, this is incredibly difficult but we've all got to lean in and take difficult decisions and try to play our part, to make this something that leads to

a permanent, sustainable ceasefire, and permanent, sustainable peace. that is what we are aiming for. does this contain — that is what we are aiming for. does this contain a _ that is what we are aiming for. does this contain a vision _ that is what we are aiming for. does this contain a vision for— this contain a vision for palestinian statehood? it would seem unusual that israel would agree to that or that the israeli prime minister would agree to that when he said clearly that he wouldn't. does that exist in the deal at this stage or would it be worked on, as the deal progresses? it or would it be worked on, as the deal progresses?— or would it be worked on, as the deal progresses? it has to be worked on, deal progresses? it has to be worked on. because — deal progresses? it has to be worked on, because fundamentally, - deal progresses? it has to be worked on, because fundamentally, a - deal progresses? it has to be worked on, because fundamentally, a deal. on, because fundamentally, a deal like this will only work if you can meet those twin needs, israeli security on the one hand and palestinian statehood on the other. but i think that why i think this is a moment we have got to seems to bring this conflict to an end is thatis bring this conflict to an end is that is the short term, which is to get the hostages out, and flood gaza with aid to help the desperate humanitarian situation, that is the short term, the medium to long term is, can you put in place the conditions necessary to bring about

a permanent peace and ultimately settlement of this problem. one of the things that has changed that as a potential positive is that the arab states are leaning in and prepared to help and support this process, in ways that i have not seen before, and i think an incredibly positive contribution being played by egypt, jordan and qatar are, to bring this about. that is testament to that. and there is the other pricier, or what people refer to as normalisation but countries like saudi arabia, as part of this process, recognising israel, having proper relations with israel, as two normal countries should. that is an enormous price for israel and also i would argue for saudi arabia also. by adding in some of these extra elements, you make that movement from poster ceasefire, to settlement, more likely. i5

movement from poster ceasefire, to settlement, more likely. is a movement from poster ceasefire, to settlement, more likely.— settlement, more likely. is a final thou~ht, settlement, more likely. is a final thought. can _ settlement, more likely. is a final thought, can hamas— settlement, more likely. is a final thought, can hamas be _ settlement, more likely. is a final thought, can hamas be trusted i settlement, more likely. is a final- thought, can hamas be trusted here? because they, throughout this process, have held these hostages, it seems they have not said for sure which hostages are alive or dead, and some of them may be held by criminal elements inside gaza, so, can hamas be trusted to keep to that part of this deal?— part of this deal? what hamas did on october 7th can _ part of this deal? what hamas did on october 7th can never _ part of this deal? what hamas did on october 7th can never be _ part of this deal? what hamas did on october 7th can never be forgiven - part of this deal? what hamas did on october 7th can never be forgiven or| october 7th can never be forgiven or forgotten. i rememberseeing october 7th can never be forgiven or forgotten. i remember seeing for myself what had happened, and the appalling things that had been done. that cannot be undone or forgotten. what is required here is for hamas to accept a deal that has been put forward, with israeli support, that meets almost all of the things that they have been asking for and terms of the release of prisoners from israeli jails, in terms of stopping the fighting, in terms of the potential for that stop to be

permanent, without a return to fighting, and of course for there to be the chance of discussions and moves on strengthening the palestinian authority, the parameters of the palestinian state at the other things i've said, so all they have to do is to accept this deal, and that process can begin. this deal, and that process can beuin. ., this deal, and that process can be. in, ., ., , this deal, and that process can bei in, ., ., , begin. that was the uk foreign secretary. _ begin. that was the uk foreign secretary, lord _ begin. that was the uk foreign secretary, lord cameron. - after a week of general election campaigning here in the uk, all parties are out again this weekend vying 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 have promised to make ten premier league games available on free—to—air—tv per season. our political correspondent ione wells reports. applause and cheering cheers, change and cheesy grins. labour are hoping to show a positive front today, with... the launch of the bus — angela's bus. and doesn't it look fantastic?

laughter ..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're putting our plan on the table to reform thejob centres so that they can actually be places that support people back into work. applause and cheering the conservatives are also trying to refocus this weekend, after another former tory mp said they were switching their allegiance to labour. and that's what we're going to stop, aren't we? audience cheers 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's where the majority of people live. they were neglected for decades under previous labour governments, and we're in teesside today, it's a great example of a place that we've focused on as a government, people can see the change in the community as it's 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. champions again! there are still weeks to go of this campaign, but all parties hope these pledges will help them be victorious on lithjuly. ione wells, bbc news. let's speak to

prime minister, an earlier own, in a media huddle, reporters were asking the prime minister various questions. one of them was about the fact that it has merely seen the prime minister heading to conservative held seats, seats won by the tories in the last election. the insist that labour's substantial poll lead, but as conservatives pursuing a more defensive strategy, a corporate strategy, rishi sunak insisted that he was travelling right across the country and here we are in a relatively early stages of this campaign so far, but as we head through the rest of the campaign today, through the rest of the campaign toda , ., ~' through the rest of the campaign toda ,... ., today, thank you, were spoken about the — today, thank you, were spoken about the best _ today, thank you, were spoken about the best place _ today, thank you, were spoken about the best place to _ today, thank you, were spoken about the best place to get - today, thank you, were spoken about the best place to get an - today, thank you, were spoken about the best place to get an ice l about the best place to get an ice cream in redcar, i will give you some more travel tips while you are

necessarily going to change massively, when that figure reaches 100% so the conversation, as you would expect has turned to a possible coalition government because the anc does not have the majority it needs to form a government on its own. it must look for partners. time is of the essence, because they have to do this within 14 days, come up with some kind of arrangement in order to have a first sitting of parliament in 14 days when the results have been announced, and then elect the president on that first sitting. take a look at some of the dynamics, we arejoined by take a look at some of the dynamics, we are joined by an award—winning journalist and author here in south africa. what are we hearing in terms of behind—the—scenes, the talks happening now? of behind-the-scenes, the talks happening now?— of behind-the-scenes, the talks happening now? political parties have started _ happening now? political parties have started reaching _ happening now? political parties have started reaching out - happening now? political parties have started reaching out to - happening now? political parties| have started reaching out to each other, _ have started reaching out to each other, as — have started reaching out to each other, as we now have a pretty final picture _ other, as we now have a pretty final picture of— other, as we now have a pretty final picture of what the results are. the consideration is that the anc needs a massive _

there's a lot of dry weather to come this weekend and it's all down to an area of high pressure that's to the west of the uk, closest to the high pressure today. we'll see the best of the sunshine across parts of scotland, although southwest england's also enjoying some sunny skies, almost cloud—free skies then in stirling earlier in the day. but we have seen quite a bit of cloud come down the north sea into parts of eastern england. but even so, there are still some breaks in the cloud, for example, here in essex. now, looking at the weather across east anglia, and southeast england, as well as that cloud, we have some fairly brisk winds, gusts running into the 30 miles an hour. thatjust knocks the edge off the temperatures to a degree. but still some decent weather to come for the most of the uk. sunny spells in northern ireland, lots of sunshine for south west england, western parts of wales also looking fine. and in the best of today's sunshine, we're looking at temperatures quite widely reaching the high teens to low twenties. and in thatjune sunshine, first day of summer, according to climatologists, it will feel pretty warm. now, overnight tonight, we'll have clear skies for most areas and it's going to be quite a chilly night. temperatures getting down into single figures,

lows down to about five degrees in the very coldest parts of scotland and northern england. but another fine day coming up for tomorrow. again, for the majority of the country, lots more sunshine and probably more in the way of sunshine across eastern areas of england, given a slight change in the wind. at the same time, probably a bit more cloud for the far north west of scotland with a little rain getting into the hebrides and the highlands through the day. in the sunshine, temperatures more widely high teens to low, 20 to 21 for aberdeen, 22 in london. and for monday, when we start to see a bit more of a change in the weather patterns across the north of the uk, with this cold front bringing a bit more in the way of cloud. a few splashes of rain, mostly light and patchy move south. with that as we go through monday, some sunnier weather following the cold front through. the cold front will bring some cooler and fresher air, so temperatures dropping by a few degrees across the north but we could still reach around 20 in hull, in cardiff and in london. however, into next week,

the middle part of the week, we see some much cooler air arriving from the northwest and with that we'll see temperatures dropping further and there'll be some showers around, particularly across the northern half of the uk. some of the showers are likely to be heavy with some hail and thunder. bye for now.
