israel says its military has been added to a un list of entities committing violations against children. the country's un envoy said he'd been officially notified of the decision, describing it as shameful. the list is included in a report due to be submitted to the security council next week. it's also reported to include hamas and palestinian islamichhad. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu called the decision "delusional." violations listed include attacks on schools and hospitals as well as the denial of aid. in gaza, the nuseirat refugee camp has again been attacked by israeli forces, after a strike on a un school there in which a number of children were reportedly killed. hugo bachega has more, from jerusalem. this list covers the killing of children in conflict and doubt there is the accessing of aids

in targeting of schools and hospitals. it is still not clear what accusations that israeli military is facing but this decision, if taken, will put more pressure on the country's authorities. unsurprisingly, there has been a strong reaction from israeli officials. prime minister netanyahu said the un added the of history saying the israeli military was the most moral in the world. they have been reports saying both hamas and islamichhad will be added to this list and there has been reaction from the palestinians as well. a spokesman for the palestinian president the reuters news agency saying that this decision was a step closer to holding israel accountable for its crimes. meanwhile, us secretary of state antony blinken is set to make his eighth visit to the middle east since the october 7th attacks. for more on all this, i spoke to michael oren, the former israeli ambassador to the us — to get his reaction

to the un's report. outrageous, unacceptable. the israeli army is doing its utmost to avoid civilian casualties and if you actually look at the numbers, hamas is going to say they have killed 35,000 palestinians, but we know we have killed 15,000 terrorists. take that as of the 35, take out of the thousands of palestinians have been killed by palestinian rockets falling short, 12% do. and you take people die of natural causes over the course of eight months, you are going to get down to a one to one combatant and noncombatant fatality rate which is terrible, every fatality is a tragedy, but compared to the united states war in afghanistan and iraq, and the other modern war, it does not come close to that ratio. ., , . ., ., ratio. to be clear we are still talkin: ratio. to be clear we are still talking but — ratio. to be clear we are still talking but tens _ ratio. to be clear we are still talking but tens of _ ratio. to be clear we are still| talking but tens of thousands of civilians who were killed. and that was a tragedy. that is because hamas is using them as a human shield. and even the un just a week and a half ago said that the is demented children, the estimate of children

fatality and because it was 50% of what they thought immediately. meanwhile, in gaza, more than a million displaced people are enduring dire conditions. residents in the al—mawasi area — west of the city of khan yunis — are facing a severe shortage of basic necessities. our reporter stephanie gabbatt filed this report, using video filmed by our bbc arabic teams inside gaza. mohammed has just arrived in the al—masri area, which is crowded with tens of thousands of other displaced palestinians. all of them fled from areas in the gaza strip, which saw ground incursions and israeli bombardments. amid piles of waste, animal carcasses and sewage, he set up his tent, which is accompanied him several times during the past few months as he's had to move around the gaza strip. translation: every now and then they say there i is a new round of negotiations, but it ends in failure and displacement, displacement from one place to another. we find every new place even

worse than the previous one. according to the displaced people living here, there are toxic fumes in the air and hazardous materials all around. the ground is littered with rubbish syringes and wound dressings because the majority of hospitals are closed. translation: the tent is so hot. i've got high blood pressure and a heart problem. i can't sleep at night. the smell of rubbish and sewage get into the tents. i stay outside. i cook outside. translation: we are still calling for the reopening . of the crossing to send medical staff to set up makeshift hospitals, to send medical equipment to hospitals across the gaza strip so they can function again. —— so they can function again. another displaced person traveled with his family from the north of the gaza strip

to the south, along with hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and destruction. he hasn't got access to enough water, food or proper health care. translation: as you can see, we live in very harsh conditions. - i can say that as per the current situation, there is barely a sign of life. everything is hot from getting water to coping with hot weather. israel has repeatedly published maps that it says show safe humanitarian areas. however, air strikes have hit those two areas, killing dozens and burning tents where displaced people were living. the harsh conditions and constant threat of bombardment has made gazans think there is no safe place

for them inside the strip. french president emmanuel macron, has promised ukraine new weapons and fighterjets. mr macron, who's become one of kyiv�*s most staunch advocates, said france will also train ukrainian pilots and soldiers. in a joint news conference with ukrainian president volodomyr zelensky in paris, the french president said he wanted ukraine to start eu membership negotiations by the end of the month, and for the country to have a quote "irreversible path" to nato membership. mr zelensky — who's been pushing western allies to provide more arms and equipment — thanked france for their support. europe is still fighting for its freedom, the future of the people remains uncertain but it is our duty, us ukrainians, french, all people of europe must strive to ensure that your should be a place of freedom

not a place of violence and hate and i have always been impressed by the way france has been treating ukraine and its people. i would like to thank all of those since the beginning who have supported us as you have shown interest and care for the ukrainian people. you have extended help for us to defend ourselves. president zelensky also met with his us counterpart joe biden on friday — who is in france for d—day commemorations. mr biden apologised for the months—long delay of us military aid to ukraine after it was held up in congress — and said america would never walk away from ukraine. mr biden is now authorising more than 200 million dollars in extra aid to reconstruct ukraine's electricity grid. we stood against subtler aggression does anyone doubt that they would want america to stand _ that they would want america to

stand up— that they would want america to stand up against putin's aggression tear today. they stormed _ aggression tear today. they stormed the beaches alongside our allies. stormed the beaches alongside ourallies. does stormed the beaches alongside our allies. does anyone believe they— our allies. does anyone believe they want— our allies. does anyone believe they want america to go it alone _ they want america to go it alone today? meanwhile, vladimir putin doubled down on his threat to supply weapons to western adversaries — in retaliation for the west's supply of weaponry to ukraine. during a speech at the saint petersburg international economic forum, mr putin also said he would win his war on ukraine. he denied that moscow was currently threatening anyone with nuclear weapons, but that it could always change its mind. from the forum, our russia editor steve rosenberg sent this report. vladimir putin. the west accuses vladimir putin of nuclear sabre—rattling over the war in ukraine. at least today, the sabre was rattling a little less. translation: the use - of nuclear weapons is possible in the event of an exceptional threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country, in exceptional cases. i don't think this is

such a case right now. there is no necessity for that. but these pictures send a different message. russia has been holding tactical nuclear drills near ukraine's border — a not so subtle hint to kyiv and to the west. and president putin is warning he may send conventional long—range missiles to other countries for strikes on western targets. his response to nato allies allowing ukraine to hit russian territory with western missiles. but would he actually do this? some people in the west say we've heard it before from russia, we've heard sabre—rattling for the last two years and that it's a bluff. yeah, of course, it's always bluff — until the time when it's not. you can keep thinking that russia is bluffing, and then, one day, there is no more great britain to love it. and all this at an economic

forum, where you can't escape the geopolitics. the last few days in st petersburg have felt very strange. on the one hand, a giant international economic forum. russia's message — business as usual. but clearly it is not business as usual, with russia waging war in ukraine and soaring tensions between russia and the west. and in his stand—off with the west, vladimir putin seems to believe it will be the west that blinks first. steve rosenberg, bbc news, st petersburg. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. voted let's look at some other stories making news. new images from a surveillance camera have emerged in greece which appear to show the missing bbc tv presenter michael mosley less than half an hour after he left a beach to go on a walk.

the 67—year—old was on holiday on the island of symi, which is between kos and rhodes. he set off from the beach at st nikolas at lunchtime on wednesday — the cctv images show he appears to have made it to the nearby village of pedi. we have limited the possibility he had — we have limited the possibility he had an accident along the footpath because there are pe0ple _ footpath because there are people who saw him with an umbrella and a hat walking through— umbrella and a hat walking through town. we have lost them from _ through town. we have lost them from here — through town. we have lost them from here on words because there — from here on words because there are _ from here on words because there are number cameras. greek authorities brought in search and rescue teams from nearby islands, and they plan to start searching new areas on saturday morning. mr mosley was staying in gyalos with his wife but failed to arrive there and has been missing for two days. his phone was left with his wife. mr moseley�*s family have flown to the island tojoin the search. he's known for presenting a range of programmes on health that often see him experiment on himself. you're live with bbc news. here in the us, the latest jobs report showed

a strong uptick in hiring — defying expectations. numbers from the us department of labour released on friday show employers added 272,000 newjobs last month — over 80,000 more than expected. wages also saw some unexpected growth — rising to 4.1% over the last year. but, concerns over the economy persist. consumer confidence is trending low — during a critical election year where some voters say the economy is their top concern. for the political implications of the new report, here's our business correspondent erin delmore. the white house is celebrating today's report. they are saying job growth and job gains are good for all americans but the question at the heart here is whether americans care more about the number ofjobs being added or if they care more about how inflation is impacting their family's budgets. this is something we see a divide eye on looking at president truck versus front president biden. biden hovering around 40% approval and in battleground states, think about it to the new york times

that pulled voters in six different back on spending saying the cost of living inflation and the economy are the number one issue that they are voting on this year. a cbs poll showed that 60% of voters set the economy is doing poorly. despite thesejob gains, despite gdp, despite wage growth. so it is looking like, voters looking at what this means for household budgets and their own bottom line. to talk more about this now, i'm joined by betsey stevenson — former chief economist at the us department of labour under obama — and tomas philipson — former acting chairman of the council of economic advisers under trump. just looking at the numbers, pretty impressive, what do you make of them?— make of them? there are two surve s make of them? there are two surveys in _ make of them? there are two surveys in the _ make of them? there are two surveys in the us _ make of them? there are two surveys in the us that - surveys in the us that basically track employment. the companies report something that shows that there was a huge overshoot on expectations like was indicated in terms of the number of newjobs. then there is a second survey which the

households fill out basically to report how many of them are unemployed. that survey showed a loss of 400,000 jobs so this is more than 600,000 jobs difference between the two which is a concern and how we collect this data. at the unemployment rate has been taking up now for the last few months and it is now up to 4% which is low, historically, but it is worrying that it is sticking up.— it is worrying that it is sticking up. it is worrying that it is stickin: u. , , sticking up. do you see this worrisome _ sticking up. do you see this worrisome as _ sticking up. do you see this worrisome as well, - sticking up. do you see this worrisome as well, this - worrisome as well, this unemployment figure? firstly i a . ree unemployment figure? firstly i agree that _ unemployment figure? firstly i agree that we _ unemployment figure? firstly i agree that we should _ unemployment figure? firstly i agree that we should use - unemployment figure? firstly i agree that we should use all i agree that we should use all the data _ agree that we should use all the data available and what a lot of— the data available and what a lot of economists do is put a 80%— lot of economists do is put a 80% wheat on the jobs gained that we — 80% wheat on the jobs gained that we see out of that employer survey and a 20% on what _ employer survey and a 20% on what we — employer survey and a 20% on what we see out of that household survey and become up with a _ household survey and become up with a number which we think is closer— with a number which we think is closer to — with a number which we think is closer to the truth. so the job skins — closer to the truth. so the job skins were _ closer to the truth. so the job skins were probably closer to the expectations than that headline number indicates. so what _ headline number indicates. so what we — headline number indicates. so what we see as an economy is

what — what we see as an economy is what the — what we see as an economy is what the labour market is slowing _ what the labour market is slowing in a way that is predictable. so there is from a household perspective, unemployment is sticking up. it is getting — unemployment is sticking up. it is getting harder to find a job — is getting harder to find a jab we _ is getting harder to find a job. we are seeing people hanging onto theirjobs for longer, _ hanging onto theirjobs for longer, the quit rate has fallen— longer, the quit rate has fallen because people realised people —— it is hard to find a new— people —— it is hard to find a hewjoh _ people —— it is hard to find a newjob. this is what the fed is trying _ newjob. this is what the fed is trying to do, trying to slow the economy and this is working. so the question will be when _ working. so the question will be when can they ease their foot— be when can they ease their foot off— be when can they ease their foot off the break. i be when can they ease their foot off the break.— foot off the break. i want to come back _ foot off the break. i want to come back to _ foot off the break. i want to come back to you, - foot off the break. i want to come back to you, thomas, foot off the break. i want to - come back to you, thomas, was how markets and slipping today on this job news how markets and slipping today on thisjob news because it would seem to indicate that the economy is perhaps not cooling as fast as the white house would want and that we are not going to see the federal reserve cut rates anytime soon, what you make of that? the market paid _ what you make of that? the market paid more _ what you make of that? tue: market paid more attention what you make of that? t'te: market paid more attention to the company survey as bull to household surveys initially, but then it sort of flattened out. but what you are seeing now is that most of the market

believes that foreign markets and the federal reserve will do and the federal reserve will do a great hike the foreign market is telling us now that basically monitor policy where the federal reserve is not going to be in support ofjoe biden into the election and will not have rate cuts going forward. they have a meeting next week and there's a 99% chance according to marcus that they will not cut next week. but getting into the summer there is a very small chance and in september it is about a 50-50 and in september it is about a 50—50 chance that is about two months away from the election so it really will not do much of a difference. so i think the bottle line here is the white house is not going to get a lot of help from monetary policy before the election.- before the election. betsy, let's follow _ before the election. betsy, let's follow up _ before the election. betsy, let's follow up on - before the election. betsy, let's follow up on that - before the election. betsy, i let's follow up on that bottom line that thomas mentioned. what do you think this means politically for president biden as he is seeking reelection because it seems like voters are not convinced that he is the person to manage the economy, they in fact give the former president donald trump more credit for matters of the

economy. t more credit for matters of the economy-— economy. i have to say, the last four _ economy. i have to say, the last four years _ economy. i have to say, the last four years coming - economy. i have to say, the last four years coming out l economy. i have to say, the | last four years coming out of the pandemic we have had an incredibly strong economy, an economy— incredibly strong economy, an economy that has been absolutely the envy of the world _ absolutely the envy of the world. it sounds like what you are saying _ world. it sounds like what you are saying is people wish that there — are saying is people wish that there had been fewerjob opportunities, that there had been — opportunities, that there had been less wage growth so that inflation — been less wage growth so that inflation would've come down faster — inflation would've come down faster i— inflation would've come down faster. i don't think people faster. idon't think people actually— faster. i don't think people actually wish that. i do think that— actually wish that. i do think that they— actually wish that. i do think that they dislike inflation, we are seeing inflation come down and we — are seeing inflation come down and we are seeing the labour market— and we are seeing the labour market cooling and the whole goat — market cooling and the whole goat is — market cooling and the whole goal is for it to cool in a way that— goal is for it to cool in a way that is— goal is for it to cool in a way that is not as painful as a major recession. whetherjoe biden— major recession. whetherjoe biden can help people actually peoples see everything he has done — peoples see everything he has done now or whether we will be looking — done now or whether we will be looking at— done now or whether we will be looking at it in the rear—view mirror and _ looking at it in the rear—view mirror and realising how great the economy was, i do not know. but i _ the economy was, i do not know. but i do — the economy was, i do not know. but i do think that this is obviously a very big issue for him, _ obviously a very big issue for him. is —

obviously a very big issue for him, is helping the public understand the dynamism of the labour— understand the dynamism of the labour market, the massive increase _ labour market, the massive increase in the new business formation, that has all been part— formation, that has all been part of— formation, that has all been part of his administration and it has— part of his administration and it has been great.— part of his administration and it has been great. thomas, what do ou it has been great. thomas, what do you think _ it has been great. thomas, what do you think president _ it has been great. thomas, what do you think president biden - do you think president biden needs to do if he wants to convince people that he is strong on the economy. as betsy was saying, people are looking more at inflation numbers than they are at the overall economic future.- they are at the overall economic future. , ., , economic future. the problem the white _ economic future. the problem the white house _ economic future. the problem the white house has - economic future. the problem the white house has is - economic future. the problem the white house has is that i the white house has is that they have not been strong on they have not been strong on the economy. they may be catching up lately but it is too little too late. so the white house is basically out there trying to educate people that economics and statistics such as gdp, cpi has been trending a long way. voters do not care about that. what they care about is their real income. meaning, how much is their paycheque allow them to buy. it does not matter for a vote or if that is due to inflation going up or wages over the last three or if it is

a recession, if it comes down meaning they cannot buy as much of a paycheque that is ultimately the source of all of this negative information from voters. the workers are the same way. we hear about a strong job market, not according to workers. because again, they real wages biden is down and that is not a strong labour market. we have a hundred or 200,000 people acted a month. that is peanuts compared to the 160 million people in the market already which have experienced wage decline. something that is a real issue. the same thing comes up with stocks... that real issue. the same thing comes up with stocks... at the state that _ comes up with stocks... at the state that is _ comes up with stocks... at the state that is just _ comes up with stocks... at the state that is just not _ comes up with stocks... at the state that is just not true i state that is just not true and the congressional budget office recently came on with the study that shows that real wages are up, households can buy more today— up, households can buy more today than they can buy in 2019. _ today than they can buy in 2019, even with inflation, or if you — 2019, even with inflation, or if you want to calculate it in a different way, they can buy what — a different way, they can buy what they were buying a 2019 with — what they were buying a 2019 with a — what they were buying a 2019 with a much smaller fraction of their—

the trial is now under way of 51 individuals — including three americans — accused of attempting to overthrow the president of the democratic republic of congo. six people were killed during that attack last month. the suspects face multiple charges, including murder and attempted assassination. the us state department says it has not been given access to its citizens in custody. in surpise testimony, the daughter of hunter biden told jurors she did not see her father use drugs around the time he's accused of lying about his drug use when purchasing a gun in 2018. naomi biden was called to the witness stand by her father's defence team. president biden's youngest son is accused of lying about drug use on a form to buy a firearm and ammunition from a gun shop. if convicted, hunter biden could face up to 25 years in prison. a new report claims more than 50,000 people have died prematurely from wildfire pollution in california over a span of 10 years. the data from 2008 to 2018, shows inhaling tiny pollutants from the smoke is linked to serious health problems and more than 430 billion dollars in health expenses. wildfires have increased

in the western us state in recent years as climate change leads to hotter and drier conditions. today is world ocean day, a day to reflect on the waters covering more than 70% of our planet, and the creatures that live there. scientists say climate change could be threatening the food supply of antarctic whales. sea ice is declining at an alarming rate — and researchers say humpback whales hold clues about the effect that's having on the marine ecosystem. our science correspondent, victoria gill, joined a research mission, led by the wildlife charity, the world wildlife fund, which is carrying out health checks on humpback whales around the antarctic peninsula. delving into the lives of antarctica's giants. we're with a team of wildlife scientists studying humpback whales up close. that is pretty amazing, to be able to see them under the water!

the researchers have special permits to check 0h! and they have a surprising way of finding that out. so is that a weapon? no, it's not a weapon, it's a tool. that tool allows natalia to take whale tissue biopsies. a tube on the end of each arrow takes just a tiny nick... ..out of each animal's body. clearly it did not bother them very much because they are hanging around. analysing to analysing this tissue can reveal if a female humpback is pregnant. in years that we have low sea ice, then the following year you have lower pregnancy rates, and that's as good as it gets in, like, you know, getting to know the environment and getting to know the effects of all these conservation threats on the animals. this is what the whales and many other animals here feed on — antarctic krill.

swarms of them thrive here because they eat algae that lives in sea ice. so researchers want to know if this crucial marine food supply is decreasing as rising temperatures melt the ice. and they're using another scientific tool. with the drone we are measuring how fat it is becoming over the season and that is important because some populations around the world are getting skinny because they are not getting enough to eat because of climate change impacts. by keeping a check by keeping a check on its gigantic residents, researchers hope to understand how to protect this fragile wilderness for all the wildlife here. victoria gill, bbc news, in the antarctic peninsula. and finally, the paris olympic arejust right around the corner and its organisers unveiled a new display of five olympic rings mounted on the city's iconic eiffel tower. it's to mark 50 day until the start of the summer games. the rings are made from recycled french steel and each

one is 9 metres or 30 feet in diameter. medals for the olympics and paralympics are being inlaid with pieces of iron taken directly from the tower. thatis that is our programme at this hour. the queue so much for watching bbc news. you can find more on our website. thank you so much forjoining us and stick with us. hello. a real mix of weather coming up this weekend. some rain, some sunshine, but one thing there won't be much of in the mix is warm weather. now, the warmest weather on friday was found in the east and the south east of england. 21 degrees is actually about right for this time of year. 12 in the north of scotland, that is a little below par. and we will keep, generally speaking, below average temperatures for most parts of the uk, not only through the weekend but actually into the start of next week. a feed of cool air from the north. now on saturday morning, we start off with a fair amount of cloud across england and wales, some

splashes of rain. but much of that clearing southwards, skies brightening sunny spells and just the odd shower into the afternoon. similar story for northern ireland. for scotland, there will be a few more showers, some heavy ones, still some wintry ones over the very highest mountains. temperatures in northern scotland, ten or 11 degrees, perhaps 18 or 19, in south wales and southern england. so yes, below average temperatures for most. now through saturday night we'll see cloud and showery rain pushing into scotland, perhaps into northern ireland, much of england and wales holding onto clear skies. and it is going to be a rather chilly night, five degrees there in the centre of cardiff, for example. some spots in the countryside will see temperatures fairly close to freezing, i suspect, for sunday morning. now, on sunday, this little frontal system in the north bringing some showers. this next weather front just easing its way in towards northern ireland. that could well bring a spell of more persistent rain as it pushes across south—west scotland into northern england as well. to the north of that it is sunny spells and showers. to the south of that wales, the midlands down towards the south of england,

a decent amount of dry weather, some sunshine, perhaps highs of 19 degrees, whereas further north, just 14, for example, there in glasgow. now through sunday nights and into monday, this little frontal system here is expected to ease its way southwards at east with some uncertainty aboutjust how much rain it will bring and how long that will linger across central and eastern parts of england. if rain does lingerfor any length of time on monday, it really will feel very disappointing indeed. even if you get some sunshine with a scattering of showers, temperatures at best 10 to 17 degrees. and we stick with those rather cool conditions for much of the coming week. and there will be further outbreaks of rain at times.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour straight after this programme. this year, all eyes are on the french region of normandy as it prepares to celebrate some major anniversaries. it might not be as well visited as paris... ..or as sunny as the south of the country...

..but if you come here and explore, you're going
