the following images disturbing. it happened during the distribution of charity for ramadan. this is video footage from almasirah, a tv station linked to the houthi rebel group, which controls sanaa. the video was picked up by various news agencies and it purports to show the incident in the the city. it's an apparent crush of people, many of whom look to be in distress. our correspondent simonjones joins us from the newsroom. what more can you tell us? ? what more can you tell us? hundreds of people had gathered at a school where they were handing out aid, they were being given the equivalent of $9 each, but so many people arrived that houthi rebels in charge in the city started

firing into the air to try to control the crowd. eyewitnesses say one of the bullets hit an electrical cable, that caused an explosion, that led to panic, led to a stampede, led to a crush. we know that dozens of people have been killed and hundreds more have been taken to hospital, some of those in a critical condition. some of those who died are women and children. the authorities, the interior ministry, say that those who are responsible for handing out this aid have been detained and a full investigation is under way. but this is just the latest blow to hit yemen, country that has been suffering from fighting over the last eight years, fierce fighting between the houthi rebels and government backed forces. a few days ago there was a prisoner exchange to mark ramadan, 900 prisoners were being exchanged, the red cross said that was a sign of

hopein cross said that was a sign of hope in a country that had suffered so much, the un saying yemen is one of the countries facing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, but now, news of the stampede, with multiple deaths, another blow for the country and a full investigation now under way. 0k, thank you so much, simon jones in our newsroom with the latest on that. let's get some of the day's other news. the us supreme court has extended a temporary block on restrictions to the abortion pill mifepristone. the new friday deadline allows the justices more time to consider the case. last week, a federaljudge in texas suspended approval of mifepristone, questioning its safety. mifepristone remains widely available, pending a resolution to the case. the uk government is expected to announce plans to make it harder forjudges from the european court of human rights to stop migrant deportation flights to places such as rwanda. the proposals would allow the home secretary to ignore injunctions from strasbourg,

known as rule 39 orders. the united nations children's agency says up to 67 million children have missed some or all of their routine vaccinations due to covid lockdowns and disruption caused by the pandemic. unicef says vaccine coverage has fallen in more than 100 countries, and warned that perception of the importance of vaccines for children was declining across the world. the south korean k—pop star moonbin has died at the age of 25. the singer was found unresponsive at his apartment in seoul. police are investigating the cause of death. they say it appears he took his own life. moonbin was a member of the famous boy band astro. a rare type of solar eclipse is taking place with large crowds gathered in parts of australia and elsewhere to see the spectacle. the hybrid eclipse, as it's

known, takes place when some parts of the world experience a total eclipse while other parts witness an annular eclipse, the ring of fire around the blacked—out area. over the next hour or so, a total eclipse will be visible in western australia, timor—leste and indonesia. our correspondent phil mercer is following this for us in sydney. he is at the observatory, tell us more?— he is at the observatory, tell us more? totality is when the sun is blocked _ us more? totality is when the sun is blocked by _ us more? totality is when the sun is blocked by the - us more? totality is when the sun is blocked by the moon, i us more? totality is when the i sun is blocked by the moon, and that's what has occurred in the small western australian town of exmouth, this is about 1200 kilometres to the north of perth, the state capital so what has happened, day has been turned into night. also, what has been seen as just before totality, a burst of light

being cast across the moon to give it this magnificent appearance, of being a diamond ring, also red, ruby, solar flares were visible coming from the sun. this is an extremely rare event, thousands of people have descended on this remote north—western tip of western australia to view one of nature's greatest shows. so in total, and that part of australia the eclipse will last from the —— beginning to end for about three hours, the most dramatic part, that total solar eclipse, totality, is lasting forjust eclipse, totality, is lasting for just a eclipse, totality, is lasting forjust a minute, so it is a long way to go, but you can be guaranteed those people who love watching these sorts of spectacular shows, would have enjoyed every brief second of the solar eclipse. it is enjoyed every brief second of

the solar eclipse.— the solar eclipse. it is also about the _ the solar eclipse. it is also about the right _ the solar eclipse. it is also about the right weather i about the right weather conditions as well, to make sure you really experienced it to the full, and as you say some of these people who went to exmouth, they are absolutely enthusiasts aren't they?- enthusiasts aren't they? many eo - le enthusiasts aren't they? many peeple travel _ enthusiasts aren't they? many people travel the _ enthusiasts aren't they? many people travel the world - people travel the world following the solar eclipses, and no two eclipses are the same so the people who spend a lot of time and money going to different parts of the world watching these phenomena see something different every time. across australia partial eclipse has been enjoyed not here in sydney for obvious reasons, it is very cloudy, rainy day, so not a good day for stargazers in eastern australia, but on the other side of the continent, conditions have been superb for what astronomers are saying is a very rare, example of the power and the beauty of the universe. so also a scientific

element to this, scientists and astronomers using the opportunity to study the atmosphere of the sun and also to learn more about distant galaxies, a very important day in the clear skies of western australia, here in the east as you can see it is raining a little. i you can see it is raining a little. h, you can see it is raining a little. u, , ., little. i can see that there, exmouth _ little. i can see that there, exmouth as _ little. i can see that there, exmouth as you _ little. i can see that there, exmouth as you say - little. i can see that there, exmouth as you say which | little. i can see that there, i exmouth as you say which is where you need to be to see totality is aware, just describe for us, is it a big place, orare describe for us, is it a big place, or are they having to cope with an influx of people, as you say from all over the world? and accommodate all these people have come to see this moment?— this moment? exmouth is the catewa this moment? exmouth is the gateway to — this moment? exmouth is the gateway to the _ this moment? exmouth is the gateway to the ningaloo - this moment? exmouth is the | gateway to the ningaloo coast reef coast in western australia, ordinarily it would have a population of two and half thousand people, that has been swollen, to more than

20,000, it has had to put on extra campsites, boosting infrastructure for this influx, to see this extremely rare event. essentially, what people have gone to western australia to see is this cosmic symmetry, of the sun, the moon and the earth, in total alignment, which is extremely rare, it's the first time this occurred here in australia for a very long time. mercifully, in the west it has been clear, as you can see here in sydney, not such a good conditions, and it is worth noting, there is a total eclipse due in sydney in 2028, and hopefully, when we witness that, the weather will be a little better.— be a little better. hopefully, and ou be a little better. hopefully, and you never— be a little better. hopefully, and you never know we - be a little better. hopefully, l and you never know we might be a little better. hopefully, - and you never know we might be talking about that on the television as well, who knows. thank you so much. that is the scene now as we are waiting for this moment, totality to take place, it has gone pastime

and replenish critical suppliers. meanwhile, we are worried that sudan's healthcare system could completely collapse. ferdinand omondi is following this story for us from our bureau in nairobi. ferdinand, as each day goes by, i would imagine the hopes of people in the city is under fire, hopes are dwindling of a breakthrough, what is the latest? . ., , breakthrough, what is the latest? . . , ., , latest? the ceasefire has failed and _ latest? the ceasefire has failed and this _ latest? the ceasefire has failed and this mean, - latest? the ceasefire has - failed and this mean, people in hospitals cannot be treated and people trying to flee cannot go out, the blatant violation of international humanitarian law is still being witnessed, medicines without borders reporting the premises in darfur was attacked by armed men and they stole everything, including vehicles and medical

and another in norwich, they produce 20% of all british tomatoes. with recent shortages of salad crops in supermarkets, growers here say it's more important than ever to think local. in terms of supply chain issues, we have them all with the energy crisis and we are seeing climatic change. because the temperature is controlled, cucumbers can grow almost all year round — 25 million are produced here every year. the department for the environment, food and rural affairs says it is supporting farmers to produce food profitably and sustainably, including £600 million in grants, but producers here say far more needs to be done to help them grow more of our food locally. you're live with bbc news. let us focus on the situation in the national health service in the national health service in the national health service in the uk. junior doctors in england could go on strike again as the uk government continues to refuse a 35% pay increase. the latest action led to 196,000 hospital appointments being cancelled. talks between the parties appear to be in a stalemate, so medical leaders have called

for independent mediation to find a solution. hugh pym has more. what do we want? fair pay! there have _ what do we want? fair pay! there have been _ what do we want? fair pay! there have been two - what do we want? fair pay! | there have been two strikes what do we want? fair pay! i there have been two strikes by junior doctors in england, and more have not been ruled out. the doctors union, the british medical association says they need to be a 35% pay rise to compensate for inflation over 15 years. ministers say that is unaffordable. there are currently no talks planned. now the academy of medical royal colleges with leading figures in the medical profession say they are concerned about both a lack of a solution in the page row and the anticipated impact on services and patients. that will potentially follow any future action. the academy has both parties need to rapidly engage with an independent organisation to work out how the deadlock can be broken. a source confirmed this could be the conciliation service acas.

the bma have already reached out and the latest invention would more pressure on the government to do the same. the department of health said there were no plans to involve a third party and ministers willing to engage constructively, but the pay claim of 35% was unreasonable. hugh pym, bbc news. there are so much more detail on our website about the strike action taking place in the uk and in various sectors, not least the health service. india is a country on the move. new figures show it is about to overtake china as the most populous nation on earth as it also faces the second—largest rural to urban transition in human history. every year, millions of indians leave rural agricultural areas for huge, crowded cities. barbara plett—usher went to mumbai to look at the challenges facing the young workforce. jobhunting in mumbai. they have travelled hundreds of miles,

seeking a spot on the police force. just getting in for the test... is a competition. india has got the large number of young workers in the world. what i find incredible is that all of these people have come out for what is actually not that manyjobs. police have told us there are 650,000 applicants and only 8000 positions. third time lucky. this man is praying that this will be his chance. translation: if i get thisjob, my life will change because i will receive a fixed income. i will receive a fixed income. i will have job security. i will be able to get married. if he doesnt be able to get married. if he doesn't get _ be able to get married. if he doesn't get it, _ be able to get married. if he doesn't get it, he _ be able to get married. if he doesn't get it, he will- be able to get married. if he doesn't get it, he will still. doesn't get it, he will still move here. the city is where the opportunities are. like this man, many others are fleeing rural areas. this is

the life they want to leave behind. here, theyjust can't make enough money. so the flow to urban centres continues. transforming megacities like mumbai. i am transforming megacities like mumbai. iam in transforming megacities like mumbai. i am in one of the most proudest places in a very crowded city, so it is easy to see here that india has the world's largest population. but the question is whether it will be able to keep up with it. this is a deeply unequal society. it is difficult to improve conditions for all of india's people. even though its economy is growing at a fast pace. on the outskirts of mumbai, this suburb has expanded by 200% in the past 20 years. migrants from across the country hope this is the start of something better. in some ways, life is harder here, but there are also new freedoms.

with dealers hoping to fetch a royal mint as the coronation approaches. take a look. we scoured the warehouse looking for many different kinds of photographs and we discovered almost by accident how many photographs of king charles, and what really blew my mind was the amount of photos of charles doing very unusual things. these are cultural artefacts, telling a story of a man who grew up as a prince, became a king. seeing his life through these photographs has been really remarkable.

it was myjob to go through them all, actually. to actually go through these photographs and find interesting ones, and i wanted one is that told stories and some type of a story thread that ran through it, whether it is his love of sport, and he clearly has a level sport, whether it is his duties at the royal, and he took that very seriously from what i can tell, and just as a human, having fun. it seems like it was so difficult for him tojust like it was so difficult for him to just have fun because there was always a camera around. i hear theirfamily i hear their family is i hear theirfamily is the most photographed family on planet earth is what i have heard many times, but these photographs were sitting for many, many years, from the 19505, 1960s, years, from the 19505, 19605, 19705, so many of the youngest one5 19705, so many of the youngest ones are 50 years old, sitting in dark 5pace5 until now. lost

negatives, photographs that were ignored, maybe they were never used for any media coverage at all, but they were sentin coverage at all, but they were sent in with the anticipation that maybe they would be used by the media. it is timely with trials, the correlation coming up, so much focu5 trials, the correlation coming up, so much focus on him, and a great moment for him in his life to be correlated a5 great moment for him in his life to be correlated as the king, it will be a brilliant moment for him. i think the interest level around that is super important, and the timing is good —— coronation. extraordinary, isn't it, to think that those photographs were literally gathering dust for so long. really amazing. it will be interesting to see how that develops later today. it is now tell you about japan. japan is a country getting old. according to recent statistics, around 30% of the population is over the age of 65. looking after the growing number of elderly people may be a headache for the government, but some of these

older citizens can look after themselves, as tim allman explains. for the players of tokyo's senior football association, agedis senior football association, aged is nothing but a number. all of these men are at least 80 years old. the oldest of them is 93. applause. the senior soccer league was established more than 20 years ago. mostly for players over the age of 60. they would be mere scribblings these days. translation:— translation: when i was a child, translation: when i was a child. men — translation: when i was a child, men in _ translation: when i was a child, men in their _ translation: when i was a child, men in their 50s i translation: when i was a child, men in their 50s and l translation: when l was a i child, men in their 50s and 60s child, men in their 505 and 605 were considered grandpas. nowadays all of us are doing this in our 805. it is really quite a shock. this in our 80s. it is really quite a shock.— this in our 80s. it is really quite a shock. the pace of the name is quite a shock. the pace of the game is perhaps _ quite a shock. the pace of the game is perhaps a _ quite a shock. the pace of the game is perhaps a little i game is perhaps a little slower thanit game is perhaps a little slower than it was, but these players are keeping fit and staying youthful. surely that could be an inspiration to the entire country.

to bring a lot of dry, settled, sunny weather throughout the day for most areas on thursday, but like the last few days, we've got a keen easterly wind out there. that's taking the edge off. the temperatures will be noticeably chilly along north sea coasts and there will be some rain at times and more cloud across southeast england courtesy of this weather front, which will move in off the near continent. you'll notice there's a slight blue hue to the air mass, indicating that the air is quite chilly as well. so when you factor in the strong wind and slightly cooler air, then it will be a little bit fresher across the board. however, most places starting off dry, widespread sunshine and much of the country will stay dry and sunny all day. but then we'll see that area of cloud and some splashes of rain pushing into east anglia in the southeast during the afternoon. it's here where the winds will be quite gusty as well. so with a lack of sunshine here and the gusty winds, it'll actually feel on the cool side now. now, certainly cool along north sea coasts, 9 or 10 degrees at best, but head further inland, it's the low to mid teens or the warmest spots again, western scotland, the high teens, maybe even more than that.

and like the last few days with the dry and sunny weather, tree pollen will be high or very high for many of us. so, as we head through thursday evening and overnight, that area, clouds, splashes of rain in the southeast starts to migrate westwards across much of england and also wales, whereas the northern half of the country will see clearer skies, slightly lighter winds here. so another chilly one here. less cold, though, where we have the cloud, the rain and also the stronger breeze. so for friday, some changes for england and wales. we've got a number of weather fronts bringing more cloud outbreaks of rain, whereas scotland, northern ireland poking out into the high pressure. we'll have yet another dry and sunny day. pretty decent temperatures for western scotland, but england and wales will see outbreaks of rain. longer spells of rain, northern england, showery in nature, i think parts of wales, central and southern england, a little bit of sunshine in between. but with more cloud and showers around, that'll impact the temperatures, 10 to 13 degrees here, whereas again, another fairly warm one for parts of scotland. but it is all change as we head into the weekend. lower pressure starts to bring

more unsettled weather for a time. and as that low clears into the north sea, it opens the floodgates to a cold, arctic northerly. so a much colder spell expected, particularly towards the end of the weekend and into next week. but you can see those temperatures beginning to fall across the north of the uk.
