until 20:00, i wish you all the best, goodbye. negotiations on a temporary truce in the war have come to a dead end, and children in the gas sector are starving to death, the humanitarian crisis is worsening, so will the mediators be able to alleviate the suffering of both sides, we are talking about this on the bbc, i am jafer umerov. more than half a million people in the gas sector already do not have enough food and water. llc warns of the threat of even greater hunger, the world health organization says: children are already dying of hunger in the gas. head of the institution tedros adhanom ghebreyesus tweeted that during a visit to hospitals in the middle of the night in the gaza strip. his organization

saw severe shortages of food, fuel, medicine and children dying of starvation. it was these shots that he published on his page, and he called on israel to ensure regular supplies of humanitarian aid, which, by the way, even before the start of the war, approximately 80% of the population of the gas sector relied on, but if before the war that began on october 7 in the gas sector 500 aid trucks arrived a day, for example, in in february, an average of 70 trucks per day entered the gas sector, which is much less than the local population needs. the organization save the children said there were cases where people were forced to eat leftovers left by rats and eat leaves to survive. why does the aid not reach the parts of gaza? there are several reasons for this: active fighting, destruction and israel's position. the authorities in tel aviv do not always give permission. humanitarian convoys, and when permission

is received, the cargo is often detained at checkpoints for meticulous checks, and even the united states, israel's closest ally, began increasingly demanding that the netanyahu government release more humanitarian aid. by the way, it is because of the war in gaza that joe biden is under political pressure from his own voters. this is how us vice president kamala harris called for a ceasefire. the magnitude of the suffering in gaza requires an immediate ceasefire, at least for the next six weeks, and the matter is now under consideration. so with every day and the continuation of the israeli ground operation the situation in gaza is getting worse, due to border blocking conflicts, the civilian population is suffering from a lack of the most necessary medicines and food products. as

a result, there are already reports of deaths from hunger among the civilian population. children are the most vulnerable in this situation. the bbc's middle east correspondent yolanda nel details the gas situation. over the past day, the number of trucks has increased to approximately 250, and of course, gas deliveries by air continue. however, all this is happening against the background of fears that hunger intensifies according to the un, half a million people are already under serious threat, all of them are on the verge of starvation, and there are more and more reports of gas deaths caused by malnutrition and starvation. we cannot confirm them, but the un says that at least twenty people have died in the last week, mostly elderly people and children, even shocking footage has appeared. israel claims it is not blocking aid and blames the un for distribution problems, but the us and... britain directly call

israel to increase the flow of aid. it was the bbc's yunal dan. but in this video, palestinians were trying to get much- needed aid. however, at least 112 palestinians were killed and 760 wounded. this is according to the ministry of health of the sector, which is controlled by hamas, a mob of people ran up to a convoy of trucks with humanitarian aid in the presence of israeli tanks, which, according to the israeli military, only. fired a warning shot and not at the convoy. israel says many of the dead were trampled or run over by trucks. hamas rejects israel's claims and says there is irrefutable evidence of direct fire on civilians. the un, in turn, condemned the incident and called for urgent assistance to civilians in gaza. but let's remember how it all began. exactly 5 months ago, hamas militants launched an unprecedented attack on israel. then, since october

, more than 1,200 people have died at the hands of militants on the territory of israel. the militants took more than two hundred people hostage and took them to the gaza strip. and this attack is considered. the beginning of the current war in gaza. israel began its operation, according to israeli authorities, with the return of hostages and the destruction of hamas. but the israeli gas operation resulted in the death of more than 30,000 people. most of them are children. this is again the data of the ministry of health, which is controlled by hamas. and more about the conflict between israel and hamas, bbc correspondent, orla gerin. she visited the border between egypt and israel, but warned. some footage may shock. sometimes war kills slowly and quietly. hunger attacks the smallest. protection center health urafahu is literally filled

with babies who do not finish eating. such as akhmat. he lost half his weight during the war. children who survived. meanwhile, here in israel, some are blocking the border crossing. families with babies in their arms, determined to stop the aid that these same families desperately need. they make their way through the border police detachment, and they do so twice a week. sabriago, who had to hide from hamas on october 7. her family was trapped by gas. this is my uncle, leo rodiat. he was a hostage for 151 days. at his place

sick heart, but all this time he did not take medicine. why hostages do not receive humanitarian aid. tzer says he will open the border today. not today - answered protest organizer reut benhaim. and they are delaying help for a few more hours, despite the fact that it is already in short supply. this turns into a confrontation. the border police threaten to pull the protesters away, they are told to... stay here, that they should leave, but the protesters are determined, they want no humanitarian truck did not go to gaza with help. are you a mother with a young child, do you feel any concern about the fate of mothers and children in

gaza, as the un warns that they may starve without additional aid. they can get all the help they want. free the hostages and you get all the help, everything but... the terms of the hostage release, but the ordinary people of gaza are unable to free the hostages, and you block the help that could save their lives. i do sympathize with the civilians of gaza, but the ones who are really hurting them are hamas. none the truck going there will not reach the civilians. here in rafah , 12-year-old yazan al-kafana did not wait for help. he has cerebral... palsy, and therefore it is necessary to eat well. this is how he looked before the dark days of the war. before his family had only crumbs left to feed their son. his mother says he is still eating, moving, laughing and playing.

yazan died of malnutrition yesterday. gayziev, deputy director of the washington-based center for israel studies, says. humanitarian crisis in the gas sector is real, but in israel there is the very explanation why critical humanitarian aid is not reaching northern gaza. well, the humanitarian crisis is real, the circumstances are dire, and i think the israelis are willing to do a lot to provide additional aid and additional routes for that aid to the people of gaza. in the past, a lot of that aid... has been intercepted by hamas, and so they want to make sure that any aid that comes across the border doesn't fall into the wrong hands, but the other major pieces of the puzzle are securing the southern border israel, which is an extremely important goal for israel. no israeli leader can

accept a return to the status quo before october 7. that would leave israel vulnerable to future attacks, which hamas leaders... have made clear they have every intention of doing. moreover, hamas is still receiving approximately 100 hostages, who are being held captive in the gas, securing the release of the remaining hostages. is also essential to any permanent ceasefire. let's hear how the humanitarian crisis in the north of gaza and the reason for the desperate attempts mediators to agree on a ceasefire, described the bbc arab service journalist muhammad taha. there are only a few days left until the beginning of the holy month of ramadan, in gaza people die of hunger more often than of shelling. the palestinian authority claims that 20 people died of hunger and malnutrition just yesterday.

the un's world food program says israel prevented food aid from reaching northern gaza yesterday. systematic, intense attacks on people in queues for help are also recorded. it was like that last night in the southwestern suburb of gaza nabulsi. last week, gaza's al-rashid street, where more than 100 palestinians were killed at the time. the situation is really dire right now. the problem with ramadan is that muslims, our people in gaza, have to fast from dawn to sunset. so they have to eat well twice a day, before dawn and after sunset, to be able to just... for a month, you have to organize food well, and now all the international organizations, the international

powers, including the us and britain, as well they say the only way to get food and gas aid is to stop the fighting, but the talks going on in egypt are deadlocked, israel is not taking part in them, they are demanding that hamas provide a list of the living hostages, hamas says that it is impossible. hamas, on the contrary, demands that a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza and the return of refugees to their homes be discussed during these six weeks of truce. israel insists that it is impossible to fulfill these demands, that after the truce they are ready to resume hostilities in gaza. so. according to the ministry of health of the gaza strip, the hamas-controlled strip has already killed more than 30,000 people in the war

that began last october, hundreds of thousands more are on the brink of starvation, and there are already the first cases of starvation among children in the north of the strip gas read more about this in the article on our website, the content of which is already illustrated by the title: my son died in front of the whole world, hunger is taking the lives of children in gas. while the us and and... western countries are calling on israel to cease fire and asking israel allow humanitarian convoys to provide aid to the civilian population. that's all we have time to tell today. subscribe to our pages on social networks so as not to miss the most important news and analysis, we are on facebook, instagram and tiktok, on youtube you can watch our episode if you missed it live. well, we will be on the air again tomorrow at where... take care,

cooperation. all world analysts are now talking about the fact that a difficult phase of trench warfare is beginning in ukraine, when it is necessary to build serious fortifications in order to deter future offensives of the russian federation, perhaps. they will plan one of these after the re-election of putin as president, well, it is difficult to call

it an election, after all, there were a lot of fears that after taking avdiivka, the russians would be able to continue advancing through ukrainian territory, but apparently, according to the latest reports, the armed forces of ukraine managed to normalize the situation and now even the enemy is rejected somewhere. this project speaks for velikiy lviv, traditionally we talk about it every thursday what... has happened in the last seven days, what trends are worth highlighting, and forecasts for the future, welcome everyone to our studio, this is the largest discussion platform in ukraine. glory to ukraine, we are ready to introduce our guests as well. who are already in our studio and will talk, discuss and share their thoughts with us today. with us is mykhailo varvarych, a serviceman of the 80th separate airborne assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine. congratulations to serhiy gaidai, statesman, head of luhansk ovad 2019-23 . oksana savchuk, with us, people member of parliament of ukraine, non-partisan.

all-ukrainian association svoboda represents. congratulations to ivan buryak, chief sergeant of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade. army of the armed forces of ukraine. andriy rezhenko is also with us, captain of the first rank, deputy chief of staff of the ukrainian navy in 2004-2020. congratulations andrii andreykiv, candidate of legal sciences, military-political expert, member of the aspen club of ukraine, lecturer at the department of comparative law of the faculty of international relations of taras shevchenko kyiv national university. news that valery zaluzhnyi, who will head the ministry of foreign affairs, will be the ambassador of great britain to ukraine. well , actually, i'm hearing information about it now, everyone is discussing it on social networks, sharing their thoughts about it, and i already said that it's kind of like that, well, the opinion of people, if they write about it on social networks, it's a little sad that they say that now mr. valery will be so far from us even in britain, mr. andreykiv, what do you think about this, what does this decision mean for

zaluzhnyi, he agreed to it, is it a plus for us? thank you studio for the invitation, it's been a long time were not in such a nice, warm atmosphere, i believe that we in ukraine, in order to solve the global problems we are facing, should, er, ideologically move away from the concept of personification of any event, and move to the concept of institutionalization, then we are too fixated on persons, on specific... actions committed by certain politicians, but at the same time we forget that the state is a system of institutions, it is the relationship between them and the fulfillment of tasks and powers by them, regardless of , which person leads that or another institution, just as in the armed forces there are statutes of the armed forces, there are corresponding rules of conduct of battle, and the religious

affiliation, nationality of the commander, his preferences do not matter. in connection with the fact that he has to perform tasks on the battlefield, that is why i believe that this is the excitement that we have with the appointment of this or that person is impersonally directed directly to the meritorious person with all due respect to him, to his achievements to all that he did for the country, this is a decision, probably that of two people, it is the decision of the head of state and directly the ex-commander-in-chief of the armed forces. may we wish success in the new field? on the one hand, if we are talking about the political component , of course, the position of ambassador in any country is responsible, in such a country as great britain, which is probably one of the first among the countries of the western world to initiate support for ukraine, it did so

on its own practical steps, i already remember that i quoted in this studio... a study that was done back in 2010 by the institute of military studies of the royal academy of armed forces, in which the war in ukraine was actually predicted in such a light version, i.e. great britain is a country of great military traditions, it is a country of a high level of analytics, administration, military district state administration, how can you explain the logic of these changes, because at least you are inside... this structure, the large structure of the state apparatus of ukraine, well, look, my personal opinion, the point is that today, i think that just somewhere perhaps thanks to putin's behavior , politics is already becoming, the politics of diplomacy,

the introduction of diplomacy in the world is becoming more conceptual than. those diplomatic canons that were drawn up there, which we considered and believed that they should be like this for decades, are now increasingly moving into the conceptual plane, because we saw on the eve of a full-scale invasion, how many promises were made by putin, how many meetings there were his personal with the leaders. different countries, when he gave his word that there would be no invasion, certain promises, and then everyone saw that it was completely leveled, so here is the thing... that the commander-in-chief, ex-commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine has no diplomatic experience there, but still, well, it is, but

still he agreed and will be appointed , we hope he receives a letter, we still have to wait for this document directly, the treatment is also approved by the cabinet, but there is no presidential decree yet, moreover, my documents have even been submitted. to kazakhstan at one time also for the position of ambassador of ukraine in kazakhstan, but it was a story of its own, because we understood that katsapa would never in my life allow me to go to kazakhstan as an ambassador, because as a person who was born in the luhansk region, worked in zakarpattia, lived and studied in lviv for many years, i saw what it was like... large-scale invasion , as it generally developed in our luhansk region, they understood that i would simply pose a huge threat to russia in kazakhstan, because there, out of

19 million inhabitants, 3 million are still russians who have russian passports and communicate in russian, therefore considering that there is respect for mr. zaluzhny from politicians, and from britain as well, i think he will be able to show himself there powerfully enough, and we get powerful results, although today, this is a very responsible position, although, the british to us and so they behave quite friendly, they are our powerful allies, and despite the fact that there are certain hesitations of various european leaders there, despite the fact that there is a problem in the united states, on the eve of their elections, the british always help us, so i think that everything will work out for mr. zaluzhnyi, we

we will get an excellent result, the soldier who does not dream of becoming a general is bad, and perhaps the diplomat who does not dream, for example, of becoming the secretary general of nato, someday in time, is bad, but what do the military think, i understand that... topic it's not easy for mr. ivan buryak, and we will understand if you don't answer this question, but still we have to give you a word, in my opinion and on my conviction that the former valery zaluzhnyi, he is a person with a capital letter, so i think the position as ambassador to great britain, she must have has to change a little, probably , some judgment there, a vision of this or that situation that is happening in us, because

directly he was the commander-in-chief for a long time, and he has quite a lot of experience and he enjoys great authority, not just, not just , because he is hard-working there, because he, because he is a person, a simple person who always treated everyone in a... simple human way there, he has this spirit, he has this, this core of a ukrainian, and he thinks for ukraine with heart and in my heart, this is my personal opinion, so it must definitely play a role for us in the fact that in great britain he will show the true strength and opinion of the ukrainian people. michael, what are you? think about it, it’s for you in general, well , if, well, it’s probably important for all of us that luluzhny will now be in britain, one way or another he will defend our interests there, but maybe

he would be effective here in some other position , not only the commander-in-chief, well , first of all, i was very surprised when he was removed from the commander-in-chief, but i i am sure that wherever he is, he will bring a lot of good... his own, as it is correct to say, a lot of good work for ukraine, that is, he knows like no one else in the middle, what is needed for ukraine, what is needed for victory, that is, what weapons , especially with england, which is one way or another, it helps us, and he can convey it better to the middle, he can point out the needs that we will need for a faster victory, this is my opinion, that is, well i'm very surprised that it was changed, i wouldn't want it to be mine for example personal the opinion that he should be changed, that is, i was for him to remain the commander-in-chief, that is, that he was in his place, and the majority of the military, that is, whom i know, that all were for

him and all supported him. that is, well , in my opinion, it is a mistake that he was replaced, but i am glad that he will be in office now, and he will somehow be in another position, but he will bring benefits to ukraine. i have a question for mr. andrii ryzhenko, you are, you know, a captain of the first rank, deputy chief of staff of the ukrainian navy 2004-20 years, well, you know better than us exactly how it is in the army, in particular , there are rotations, which they can testify to, huh. well, look, the asol is really a person who represents the state in the country, and great britain is now actually the only, well, maybe even such an active state that supports us, and really, well, frankly, i would like to see a full-time , experienced diplomat in such a position , and it's basically a classic, huh, but the point

is that, well, in ukraine, what i'm watching now. we have a lot of them appointments to the positions of ambassadors, well, not staff diplomats, and here it is very important not to cross the red line, because , well, this is really a well-considered personnel policy and an experienced diplomat, and the style of his decision-making, the style of his thoughts, the style ... the way he prepares decisions, they are completely different. i studied at the command college at the umssh when i was serving, which is an analogy of the general staff academy, and interestingly, i was accompanied by representatives of the state department of the united states of america, that is, they were also personnel diplomats, but they studied at this, well , this is the level of a master’s degree, just like a military,

higher, let’s say, institution, and i talked to them a lot, and they say, you know, we have, well, precisely in diplomatic work, a completely different approach to working out a solution , if we have tactics, operational art, strategy , then they have such, well, let’s say there are no clear positions, there are no directives, although sometimes, tones between the lines and so on, diplomacy is correct, but nevertheless you see, they direct their . diplomats, and diplomats now they are going through, let's say, their diplomatic service, i want to say that now it might make sense to really send an experienced military man who knows the needs of the armed forces, you know, but just straight, right, well, i think that what, that there will be people who diplomatic canons will help him in this regard , oksana savchuk would like to fulfill it, you

as a parliamentarian, how did you perceive this... information, you talked about it, that they could send a deserving person to london, well, it almost happened, because great britain still has to confirm it, they should accept this one proposal yes, good evening to everyone, it was very interesting to hear the opinions of the military, because these are like two different topics. i will say right away that, unequivocally, great britain as an ally is very important for us, due to the fact that we still do not have clear solutions and understanding. for the united states of america and for the help that will come or not come this year, no one can say that, that is why great britain is really very important for us, the fact that somewhere on the sidelines of the parliament it was discussed that valery zaluzhny was offered the post of ambassador, he must decide, well, today we see that this information has been confirmed, indeed, diplomatic work is extremely important, it needs attention.
