bbc it's sunak admits to the bbc it's harder to have your own home under the conservatives on the eve of their launch of the manifesto for the uk general elections. in a quest for justice— we have a special report suing an islamic state widows for abuse and sex trafficking. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. we begin in new york with the united nations security council is voted in favour of an american resolution calling for an immediate cease—fire by israel and hamas in gaza. 14 countries voted in favour with russia abstaining. speaking

after the vote the us ambassador to the un called on both hamas and israel to implement the plan without delay or any conditions. our north america correspondent maddock tawfik is monitoring events for us and sent this update. events for us and sent this u date. ,, ., , update. the united states, because no _ update. the united states, because no surprise - update. the united states, because no surprise that i update. the united states, i because no surprise that this resolution coincided with antony blinken set trip to the region. what we heard from the united states was that this was the best possible way to secure a durable end to the war. saying that it really is a deal that was israel's initiative, it outlined three phases that they said would eventually lead to the complete withdrawal of israeli forces. the release of all hostages in exchange for palestinian prisoners. major reconstruction of gaza eventually. but i think from different members and different positions, while the united

states says this resolution passing means that the international community is united and that this will help put pressure on hamas to accept the deal. algeria said they still had some reservations about the text but supported it because they felt it wanted to give diplomacy a chance, wanted to give a glimmer of hope to palestinians. but from russia and china a lot more scepticism. russia said it didn't want to block this resolution because the arab group of nations supported it. but it question whether israel had really accepted the deal as the resolution states. they pointed to a number of statements by israeli officials, including benjamin netanyahu that they will continue the war until hamas is defeated. china as well questioned if parties will actually implement these three phases of presidentjoe biden is proposed deal. and china noting that the other security resolutions that have been

passed weren't implemented, including a permanent cease—fire, getting more aid in at scale into gaza, questioning whether this will have a tangible impact on the ground. i think it remains to be seen if this resolution will in fact be different at the other ones. in the last half hour we have had reaction to that boat from the white house was up president biden posting saying that the un security council just adopted a resolution calling on a mask to accept the deal to establish a cease—fire with the release of hostages. —— calling on hamas. hamas says they want a cease—fire. this deal is an opportunity to prove that they mean it. the security council met in new york shortly after washing stop diplomat held talks injerusalem with benjamin netanyahu for that the us secretary of state emphasising the importance of a

post—conflict plan for gaza. earlier on monday mr blinken met the egyptian resident of cairo. saying he agreed to step up cairo. saying he agreed to step up attempts to reach a cease—fire and a release of hostages. speaking to reporters mr blinken said that egypt had been talking to hamas in the previous hours. the been talking to hamas in the previous hours.— been talking to hamas in the previous hours. the only party that is not _ previous hours. the only party that is not accepted, - previous hours. the only party that is not accepted, the - previous hours. the only party that is not accepted, the only| that is not accepted, the only party that is not said yes is hamas. that's who everyone is depending on. that is the palestinians in gaza or are waiting on, israelis are waiting on, israelis are waiting on, israelis are waiting on, the hostages and families are waiting on. does hamas want to end this conflict, end this war that it started or not? we will find out. but it is clear that virtually the entire war has come together in support of the proposal. the only open question is, will hamas say yes. question is, will hamas say es. . ~ question is, will hamas say es. . . yes. in france political parties _ yes. in france political parties are _ yes. in france political parties are scrambling j yes. in france political. parties are scrambling to yes. in france political- parties are scrambling to get ready after president macron brought surprise elections

several years before he needed to. he made the move at a roundly defeated in european elections with france's far right national rally securing an overwhelming victory of seats in the european parliament. president macron is decision to go to the polls after such a stinging result is being seen as a huge gamble by some as he risks becoming a lame duck president if he loses. emmanuel macron visited the site of one of the worst nazi massacres in france, perpetrated 80 years ago today. he's been drawing on the past to highlight what he claims is the current threat confronting the country — from the far—right. in the face of his opponents' success this weekend, the president has taken an almighty gamble in calling a snap election. a0 miles outside paris, this is coulommiers, the land of cheesemaking,

where support for macron has crumbled. the members of the monday club said they hadn't veered to the right. but then we met 31—year—old mum of three noemi, a worker in an elderly care home, who says she's desperate for something new. translation: what frightens people could actually do them j good, so we should try the national front because france is getting worse. i'm scared to leave my house and the public transport is not safe. whatever the result of these snap parliamentary elections, emmanuel macron is set to stay on as president for another three years but a national rally victory could have a huge impact here and in many parts of france. it would also be hugely symbolic too because injust six weeks' time, the country will host the olympic games and by then, france could have its first far—right government since the second world war.

this is the 28—year—old who could be france's prime minister in a month. through his social media, jordan bardella has been winning young supporters in particular, focusing on the cost of living — softening the image of a party once condemned as unelectable and working alongside marine le pen. she hopes to replace macron as president in 2027. so can national rally translate their victory at the european elections to the national vote? so they have some kind, say, of a political virginity — people say, we do not know what they will do if they come to power but nevertheless, let's give them a try and if we are not happy, we will have election next time and we'll get rid of them. it's not clear what the president's thinking is but his legacy will be defined in the coming weeks. nick beake, bbc news,

outside paris. news from the uk, the prime minister has apologised again and asked for forgiveness after leaving dj commemorations early. during a campaign visit on monday rishi sunak said it hadn't crossed his mind to resign. in an interview on monday evening he said that it had been a tough few years but the election was about the future and the country had turned a corner. our political editor chris mason has more. one of the key things we want to do in this election is put your questions to those seeking your support. we are calling it your voice, your vote. you told us how much housing matters to you so we put that directly to the prime minister tonight. having your own home has got harder under the conservativel government, hasn't it? it has got harder and i want to make sure that it is easier and what we will do is notjust

build homes in the right places and do that in a way that is sensitive to local communities but make sure we support young people into greatjob so they can save for that deposit. the brutal truth is that a party that has been in power for 14 years has a long track record to scrutinise but how different things may have been or could be in the future under any government is worth pondering as well. so on housing, why would it be any better under labour? it was a staggering admission from rishi sunak tonight that effectively so many young people are priced out of the housing market. the dream of home ownership is transformative or young people, it is why we have said we want to build more houses by reforming the planning rules which hold back house—building. these half—hour interviews with all the main party leaders offer the chance to explore plenty of topics, like the prime minister leaving the commemorations early. do you understand that| for quite a lot of people watching i think, they simply think the basic duty-

of the prime minister, - the duty, was for you to be in that photograph - and not david cameron? that is why i have apologised unreservedly for the mistake and i hope people can find it in their hearts to forgive me. my duty is also to make sure this is a country which looks after our veterans which is why i'm proud there is a veterans minister sitting around the cabinet table. and what about the reform uk leader nigel farage who manages to haunt, bamboozle and excite conservatives in equal measure? isn't your problem is that many conservatives think he is more i of a conservative than you are? at the end of the day onjuly five there is only going to be one person that is prime minister, and i'm answering your question, so the choice for everybody, there will only be one of two people as prime minister, keir starmer or myself,

and a vote for anyone who is not a conservative candidate is making it more likely that keir starmer is that person. and so to the conservative manifesto, that the published bundle of promises coming in the morning. tomorrow you will- promise more tax cuts? we will have eight manifesto tomorrow that builds on all of the things you have just gone through that we have announced in this campaign and yes, continues to cut people's taxes because i believe in a country where people's hard work is rewarded. he has to believe to hope as well that something will turn up for him politically and quickly. the polls are not budging for rishi sunak, his manifesto it might be one of his last chances to shift the dial. chris mason, bbc news. around the world and across the uk this is bbc news.

an urgent plea for all blood typed owners after a cyber attack which affected several major hospitals in london last week. pathology firm synovus was attacked which led to serious it issues and cancelled operations as well as test. the disruption means hospitals cannot match patients blood at the same frequency as usual. i've been speaking to matthew schmidt, an associate professor at the university of new haven and i started by asking him for his analysis on this specific attack and who he thought was behind it. , , ~ ., behind it. this is the kind of attack that _ behind it. this is the kind of attack that i _ behind it. this is the kind of attack that i think _ behind it. this is the kind of attack that i think feels - behind it. this is the kind of attack that i think feels very much like a state attack, no matter what we hear. usually ransom attacks for money are attacks at smaller scale. they attacked a particular private firm, in this case they attack the pathology firm but i think here we have to really look at the pathology firm as a vector

to the real target the nhs. and the problem in our society is that we don't like to tell private companies had to spend their money. if this firm isn't spending their money to ramp up cyber defence then they become a vector into public databases like this. . ,., a vector into public databases like this. . ., ., . like this. ransom where attacks are thought _ like this. ransom where attacks are thought to _ like this. ransom where attacks are thought to be _ like this. ransom where attacks are thought to be on _ like this. ransom where attacks are thought to be on the - like this. ransom where attacks are thought to be on the rise i are thought to be on the rise globally. how vulnerable is critical infrastructure in the west in your opinion? we know it's very vulnerable _ west in your opinion? we know it's very vulnerable for - west in your opinion? we know it's very vulnerable for the - it's very vulnerable for the reasons i was just saying. we don't like to control how private companies spend their money. but it's also vulnerable because we tend to have government structures that have federal and regional splits in responsibility. in many cases who is responsibility it is to provide that cyber defence isn't clear or at lower levels it is uneven. some even two

areas provide more defence than others. the problem with anything cyber is it's all connected. if an enemy can get in a weak spot there is a good chance they can use that to get into other parts of the infrastructure that are otherwise better defended. some arc ue otherwise better defended. some ara ue that otherwise better defended. some argue that ransom _ otherwise better defended. some argue that ransom where - argue that ransom where payments were paid it will remove the tape that gangsters but two —— what needs to be done then? i but two -- what needs to be done then?— done then? i think there is little evidence _ done then? i think there is little evidence that - little evidence that that works. in this case i am sceptical. we should follow the evidence as it comes down but i'm sceptical this is really and truly an attack for money. what needs to be done is cyber defence, we have to figure out how to make that balance between what private sectors is supposed to do if they don't have an incentive for the like this pathology firm and what national government should be doing. we've been trying to do

this for years and haven't found that balance yet. here's a look at more _ found that balance yet. here's a look at more stories - found that balance yet. here's a look at more stories making | a look at more stories making the headlines. a plane carrying malawi as vice president has gone missing. the air craft left the capitol on monday morning but the malawi defence forces say it is gone off the radar. the vice president and nine others are believed to of been on board. the president has ordered a search and rescue operation. yemen is who the rebels have accused staff and aid workers of being part of an american two israeli spies for the all believed to be yemeni were detained last week, the un has called for all of their unconditional release. particles in the air may have caused 135 million premature deaths over a a0 year period according to new research with the research at singapore as technological university believe than half the promote

premature death happened in china and india. caused by industrial processes, wildfires and dust storms. they also found that certain climate events such as in the eight el nino make pollution worse. the next session of uk recovery conference takes place on tuesday in berlin. is a third recovery conference in the first time it's been held in a european member state. there have already been some tensions are ahead of meeting with the resignation of the director of the state agency for restoring ukraine. these pictures show the scale of the problem in ukraine. kharkiv is the country city situated perilously close to the russian border. it's currently being pummelled daily by russian missile strikes, with ukraine unable to fuel sufficient air defences to ward off the drones, ballistic missiles aimed in its direction. timothy ash is an

associate fellow and the e russia — eurasia at chatham house. i asked russia — eurasia at chatham house. iasked him russia — eurasia at chatham house. i asked him what he thinks president zelensky aims to get out of this conference. this is the third set of these conferences with that they would turn by the fact that if you were in the second gulf war in iraq, the west forgot about recovering and focused on winning the war this time around with ukraine war there's been a lot of focus about what happens when the war ends and ukraine's recovery and reconstruction. really it is about the money in the end. winning the war is very expenses, were spending about $100 billion a year to keep ukrainian in the world for the recovery and reconstruction, the cost of been something by doing that $5 billion with up who's gonna pay for that? these conferences have some focus on that. also the institutional structure around rebuilding, reconstruction, how those monies can be managed and

give ukraine so we can buy the weapons to defend itself. but also from the recovery and reconstruction. that will be a key focus of this g7 summit. the us, canada, uk is pushing for russian taxpayer money to be used with up his lobbying by europeans to make sure that doesn't happen. they are less enthusiastic about it for the upkeep battleground for the if the money does not come ukraine can lose the war, that is the reality. can lose the war, that is the reali . �* , can lose the war, that is the reali . v ., , can lose the war, that is the reali . �*, ._ _,, reality. it's nearly ten years so this so-called _ reality. it's nearly ten years so this so-called islamic . reality. it's nearly ten years i so this so-called islamic state so this so—called islamic state and its reign of terror spread far and wide. thousands from the religious minority were killed and many more kidnapped and enslaved. now one family is attempting to sue the widow of the iiss leader who is used of being involved in sex trafficking and abuse in her home. this report from iraq on one of the families search for justice. she is leaving for her

on fighting forjustice. you can find much more on the bbc news website. thanks for watching. to stay with us. hello there. for most of us, it has been a disappointing start to the week in terms of the weather. a frequent rash of showers, particularly across scotland. of 30 mile an hour at times. temperatures struggled to get into double figures, but it was a slightly different story further south and west. just look at anglesey, beautiful afternoon, lots of sunshine and temperatures peaked at around 18 or 19 degrees. high pressure is continuing to nudge its way in from the west. so west will be best through the course of tuesday. there's still likely to be a few showers around, but hopefully few and further between. most frequent showers certainly are going to be across eastern scotland and down through

eastern england. so sunny spells and scattered showers going into the afternoon. that will have an impact with the temperature 1a or 15 degrees. but again, with a little more shelter, a little more sunshine, 17 or 18 celsius, not out of the question. a few scattered showers moving their way through northern ireland and scotland. hopefully some of these will ease through the afternoon, but you can see those temperatures still really struggling, ten to 15 degrees at the very best. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, this little ridge of high pressure will continue to kill off the showers. so wednesday is likely to be the driest day of the week and make the most of it, there's more rain to come, but it will be a pretty chilly start once again to wednesday morning. single figures right across the country, low single figures in rural spots. but hopefully the showers should be a little bit few and further between and more favoured spots for those showers once again to the east of the pennines. more sunshine out to the west. temperatures generally similar values to what we've seen all week, 10 to 18 degrees the high.

but the wind direction will start to change as we move into thursday. unfortunately, towards the end of the week, this low pressure will take over. we'll see further spells of rain at times, some of it heavy. but the wind direction will play its part a little. a south—westerly wind means that we will see temperatures climbing a degree or so. don't expect anything too significant because we've got the cloud and the rain around. but it's not out of the question that across eastern and southeast england we could see highs of 20 celsius. take care.
