initial temporary cease—fire. washington is still pushing for an agreement between israel and hamas. the cia director met mediators from qatar in egypt on wednesday in the qatari capital of delhi. let's get more on all of this so that we can bring in the former senior policy adviserfor the can bring in the former senior policy adviser for the middle east at the un state department for that great to have you on the bbc. let's start with the cease—fire proposal that is on the table. this is really being pushed by the united states, by the white house for that what do you think is keeping the steel from progressing? the way forward, there's _ steel from progressing? the way forward, there's got _ steel from progressing? the way forward, there's got to _ steel from progressing? the way forward, there's got to be - steel from progressing? the way forward, there's got to be an - forward, there's got to be an interpretation of the permanent cease—fire. it worked being honest is never to be a permanent cease—fire because there is a state of permanent war between israel and hamas. there are a few key problems for the first of all it's a three—part plan and is one negotiator said in the middle

east the only plant that will work are one part plans. this is usually negotiations matter of a trade—off. but here we're talking about is pain of death. for a net and. you said the main gist of a permanent cease—fire are low. what about a temporary want like we saw backin a temporary want like we saw back in november where there were some exchanges of hostages for palestinian prisoners? that's a great question because the only incentive to end as quickly are hostages. there is a poetic poetry to it. the people who are being held in captivity could unlock the region. those hostages are real foot that they put a human face on the crisis for the israelis and they will put political pressure on netanyahu to make compromises that he otherwise would not be willing to make. which way do you think the prime minister is leaning when it comes to this proposal? it

and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's take a look at another story. wales's first minister vaughan gething has vowed to carry on after losing a confidence vote in the welsh parliament, the senneth — just 77 days after he took office. the welsh conservatives forced the vote after months of scrutiny of donations to mr gething's recent leadership campaign. the vote isn't binding, and he isn't obligated to resign but it leaves him under significant pressure. mr gething insists he can still do thejob. i'm going to carry on doing my duty. i am fiercely proud to be the first minister of wales. to have the opportunity to serve and leave my country. mr gething won the welsh labour leadership in march, earning him the post. but it didn't stop questions within his party over a £200—thousand donation he accepted from a company whose owner had convictions for illegally dumping waste.mr gething denies any wrongdoing. he described the no confidence vote as a "desperate gimmick" staged by campaigning conservatives.

but the welsh conservative senedd leader said he had "lost the confidence of the people of wales". you're live with bbc news. thursday marks the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings — and commemorative events have been taking place in france and in the uk. june 6th, 191m was the day that british, american, canadian and french troops landed on the beaches of normandy, taking the germans by surprise and changing the course of world war two.(oov) in portsmouth two. in portsmouth on the english south coast, the king, the queen, and prince william paid tribute to the last remaining d—day vetera ns. more than a0 british veterans have travelled to normandy — the youngest is 98 years—old. the main event will go ahead thursday at the british normandy memorial at ver—sur—mer. danjohnson is in portsmouth where commemorations began.

mr modi thanked voters, and said he would "do everything" to eradicate corruption and poverty. our south asia correspondent yogita limaye sent this report. all of its allies have agreed to back modi because they need the alleyways for that majority. the bjp will have to make concessions on things like cabinet and parliamentary positions. as far as the parliament is concerned, the building behind me even with its allies the bjp does not have the numbers to pass through a law. so to pass any votes it will for at least some members to agree with it. over the past five years what we've seen a lot of is a number of laws being passed without debate or discussion or

questioning, just by brute majority. that cannot happen any more. the biggest setback of this election result has come for narendra modi, for brand modi. it was a brand that was everywhere in india on welfare programmes vaccine certificates, on dealers by the side of the street. although this is not a presidential contest is a parliamentary election, it's because of that image being almost everywhere that it was very much about him and his personality. it is larger than life personality, this cult of personality that is grown around him, that has been damaged. it doesn't seem invincible any more nevertheless the opposition has conceded defeat. he is going to be a third time prime minister. and because broadly they will be continued e of government as far as policy is concerned for the weather is on economic reforms or whether it's about india's engagement with the

rest of the world, is not expected that there will be any major changes. russia has endured repeated rounds of western sanctions — but its economy has continued to grow — thanks to help from china. it means the mood at russia's equivalent of davos — the st petersburg international economic forum — has been cheery. the bbc�*s russia editor steve rosenberg paid a visit. it is the world's most sanctioned country. but here's the thing — russia's economy is growing faster than the economies of britain, america or germany. at russia's showcase economic forum, even the robots are boasting about it. "i love the smell of economic success," he says. how's it doing it? well, beijing is helping. trade with china is booming. russian shops are full of chinese electronics. on russian roads, more and more chinese cars. not that russia

doesn't have its own. it's revived an old soviet brand — the moskvich. there's just one thing. this moskvich is russian in name only. the parts are chinese. basically, from tip to toe, this is a chinese car with a russian logo. another sign of how important china has become to the russian economy. and china, plus india, are now big buyers of russian oil. despite western sanctions, russia's oil revenues keep flowing, helping to fund increased military production, which is fueling the economic growth and bankrolling russia's war in ukraine. the oil revenue has been critical in funding the war. russia got enough foreign exchange to support the domestic economy and, at the same time, to expand substantially the war economy. but for how long?

russia may be bullish now about growth rates, but with western governments looking to remove loopholes and tighten sanctions, soon russia's economy may not be flying so high. steve rosenberg, bbc news, st petersburg. let's turn to some important news around the world. a georgia appeals court has halted the georgia election interference case against former president donald trump. the court is putting the case on hold until a panel ofjudges can review a lower court's ruling allowing fulton county district attorney fani willis to remain on the case. this ruling means the case would be unlikely to move forward before november's presidential election. amanda knox — the american woman who was convicted and then cleared of murdering her british roommate — has been sentenced to three years in prison for slander in a retrial. ms knox has been convicted of falsely implicating a man in the murder of meredith kercher in italy, 17 years ago. despite today's sentencing,

ms knox will not go to jail, as she has already served four years for murder, before being acquitted. slovakia's prime minister robert fico has accused his political opponents of being partly responsible for last month's attempt on his life. in his first comments since then, he said there was no reason to believe his attack was the act of a "lone lunatic" and he called the attacker an activist of the slovak opposition. he gave no evidence to support his claims. a russian ukrainian was detained in france was a police say he was a preparing explosives near the main paris airport when one of them are an awful to was badly burned to the incident. police say they found bomb making equipment as well as passports and guns. the boeing starliner spaceship with two astroanuts on board is currently on its way to the international space station. the spaceship

slightly different story further north and west, temperatures struggled in parts of scotland to get up into double figures and there was a rash of sharp showers as well. that's because scotland and northern ireland, you're closest to this area of low pressure and a brisk northwesterly wind continues to feed showers in around that low. so we start off on a chilly note first thing on thursday morning. sunny spells and scattered showers through scotland and northern ireland, fairly widespread throughout the day. further south after a cloudy start, the cloud should break up, some sunshine come through. there's always a risk of one or two isolated showers across england and wales, but hopefully there'll be few and far between. and with a little more shelter in the south east, we could see temperatures peaking at 18 degrees. pressure on those exposed north west coast, only 14 degrees in northern ireland, cooler perhaps on the and in scotland, we're looking at 10 to 14 degrees with those showers continuing on and off throughout the day. now, as we move out of thursday into friday, we see more of an organized line of rain developing, but that is where that cooler air is going to sit into the far northwest.

temperatures just below par for the time of year further south. but there are indications of some warmer weather arriving over the next few days. but to start with, we're looking at single figures first thing on friday morning in rural parts of scotland, low single figures not out of the question once again. and there will be some rain moving its way south and east out of scotland, down into the north of england and north wales. sunny spells and a few scattered showers ahead of it. still a rash of showers, particularly to the northwest of the great glen where here temperatures will sit around ten or 11 degrees. further south, we're going to see highs of 18 celsius once again. so the temperature is pretty much stuck in a rut. weak weather front bringing some cloud to begin with across the south for the weekend. that low pressure is gradually pulling away. so hopefully high pressure will tend to build, but we keep the risk of showers once again across scotland and northern ireland. somewhat drier and brighter, but not necessarily warmer further south.

nvidia shares ended the trading day up more than 5%.
