8:01 pm
now the people of rafah fear israel's invasion reaching them. the us secretary of state has just arrived injerusalem from qatar. we will reflect on what he can achieve on this visit and whether a pause in the fighting can be secured before israel's military objectives have been achieved. also tonight — the king is in norfolk at sandringham, where he is expected to meet prince harry, who flew into the uk today. and a blow for donald trump as the appeals court in washington denies him immunity in the election interference case. good evening. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has just landed in israel after his visits to saudi arabia and qatar, with news tonight that hamas has finally given its response to a ceasefire proposal that it has been studying for several days. here's secretary blinken just before he left doha. together, with qatar and egypt, we put forward, as you know, a serious proposal that was aimed at not simply repeating the previous
8:02 pm
agreement, but expanding it. as the prime ministerjust said, hamas responded tonight. we're reviewing that response now and i'll be discussing it with the government of israel tomorrow. there's still a lot of work to be done, but we continue to believe that an agreement is possible and indeed essential, and we will continue to work relentlessly to achieve it. prime minister mineo who says they are studying their response —— and yahoo. —— netanyahu. hamas has given the bbc a statement on those proposals. "we presented a positive vision", said a spokesman, "but we asked for amendments related to the returning of residents to "their homes, transferring the wounded for treatment "in hospitals abroad, providing shelter for the displaced and a clear and specific timeline for the reconstruction of gaza".
8:03 pm
on the opposite side, the israelis say there is more of this military campaign to complete before they are willing to move to the next stage, and that could includes an escalation in rafah on the southernmost tip of the gaza strip. hundreds of thousands of palestinians have fled to the southern city since october. here's a map that shows you where the most densely populated areas were before the evacuation, since then 1.1 million palestinians areas were before the evacuation. since then, 1.1 million palestinians have travelled south of wadi gaza. and since the fighting intensified around khan younis, more thani million are thought to be crammed into the small city of rafah, many of them in tents and temporary shelter. we will get all of that very shortly, but we are just going to break the news that is coming to us that the former president of chile, sebastian penn year, has been killed in a helicopter crash. reports say it had encountered bad weather, and the national disaster agency
8:04 pm
confirmed a crackhead occurred. the billionaire businessman served two terms from 2010—2014 and again from 2018-2022. we'll terms from 2010—2014 and again from 2018—2022. we'll bring you more on that as we get it. let's return to our stop story on the middle east. in the last hour, israel's chief military spokesperson said 31 of the remaining hostages held in gaza are dead. families have been informed. he said hamas was still holding 136. let's go live now to oliver mcternan. he played a key role in the negotiations surrounding the release of the israeli soldier gilad shalit, held hostage by hamas for five years. i think that will deepen the pain for those involved because they know the longer this proposal takes, the greater the risk to those who are still alive. , ~ . , still alive. yes, certainly, christian. _ still alive. yes, certainly, christian. sadly, - still alive. yes, certainly, christian. sadly, that - still alive. yes, certainly, christian. sadly, that is l still alive. yes, certainly, l christian. sadly, that is the still alive. yes, certainly, - christian. sadly, that is the case, the families will suffer. but also, the families will suffer. but also, the backdrop of all of this is that
8:05 pm
2.3 million people in gaza are facing life—changing catastrophe. and the sooner agreement is reached, the sooner we have a permanent cease—fire, the betterfor the sooner we have a permanent cease—fire, the better for all. israel has publicly said it has more of a campaign to complete before they moved to this next stage. what do you think the appetite is right now within the war cabinet to move this negotiation to a cease—fire or at least to a pause? this negotiation to a cease-fire or at least to a pause?— at least to a pause? well, it was 'ust two at least to a pause? well, it was just two days — at least to a pause? well, it was just two days ago. _ at least to a pause? well, it was just two days ago, the _ just two days ago, the prime minister netanyahu made the statement. they were determined not to have a permanent cease—fire and to have a permanent cease—fire and to achieve their objectives. it was to achieve their objectives. it was to see the defeat of hamas and to dismantle the whole structure in gaza. it's very difficult if that's publicly being stated to see how the
8:06 pm
gap that existed between the two sides — on the one hand, saying the one comprehensive is extended by demand to include a plan for the reconstruction of gaza. on the other hand, they've been asking for a discussion on ball overall principle that all the hostages would be handed back for all those detainees —— all—for—all principles. again, netanyahu said this was enough for discussion. it will be very interesting to see how the various partners involved in this negotiation, how they have managed to bridge the gaps. i hope i'm wrong, but i'm not optimistic, especially given the fact that all of this is being played out in the public arena. it's not the normal
8:07 pm
way that negotiations take place. obviously a hostage or leaves can only happen while there is a cease—fire. egypt and qatar signalling there's probably about a week to ten days to run. is it your view that hamas has the leverage here in respect of the pressure that the prime minister netanyahu is coming under?— the prime minister netanyahu is coming under? well, i think there should be--- _ coming under? well, i think there should be... i— coming under? well, i think there should be... i would _ coming under? well, i think there should be... i would say - coming under? well, i think there should be... i would say from - coming under? well, i think there l should be... i would say from inside israel, both splits in his own party and differences within the war cabinet on the way he's handling this must be putting pressure on him. at the same time, i think i would like to see the visit of antony blinken now to really put external pressure, saying in light of the icj ruling there was a case to answer, he should be pressing israel now for a permanent cease—fire. this is the backdrop of
8:08 pm
2.3 million people facing a human catastrophe. i’m 2.3 million people facing a human catastmphe-_ catastrophe. i'm sure secretary lincoln is — catastrophe. i'm sure secretary lincoln is making _ i , but it was criticised for hampering the war effort. surely question whether there is a permanent cease—fire on the table or one that could ever be negotiated. well, the feedback we're getting from the arab states and middle east states is not only the anger among the population, but that anger now is very much at the senior level in the different administrations. of my worry is the longer this goes on, the longer people see what is
8:09 pm
happening to ordinary people in gaza, the more difficult it will be to find any sort of sustainable stability in the region. i think every day, this operation goes on, the more difficult israel will find itself to integrate. i hope that's a message that antony blinken will get across to netanyahu and his cabinet. oliver, always good to have you. let's talk about the letter conflict. two ships — one of them british—owned, the other american — were attacked in the red sea this morning. the uk maritime trade operation said the british owned ship's master was "aware of a small craft on his port side" before a projectile was fired at the ship. in both cases the houthis have claimed responsibility. the leader of the group, abdul malik al—houthi, said on tuesday that the group
8:10 pm
"will further escalate" if the israeli attack on gaza does not stop. joining me in the studio is benham ben taleblu, a middle east analyst for the foundation for defence of democracies. that is really the point that oliver was just touching on. that is really the point that oliver wasjust touching on. from the houthis' perspective, they have the ethics on their side because they see what's happening in gaza. there seems to be an attitude within london and washington that they want to separate the two events. and it doesn't seem that the houthis are going to give up. the doesn't seem that the houthis are going to give urn-— doesn't seem that the houthis are going to give up. the ultimate goal ofthe going to give up. the ultimate goal of the actor— going to give up. the ultimate goal of the actor behind _ going to give up. the ultimate goal of the actor behind the _ going to give up. the ultimate goal of the actor behind the houthis, i going to give up. the ultimate goal| of the actor behind the houthis, the government of iran, is to turn on different conflict zones to widen the war, to be able to affect the state that they want. between israel and gaza. that is ultimately to bail out hamas, to prevent the success of the military solution, the military defeat of hamas by israel. so, the
8:11 pm
houthis may believe they're intervening on the side of the gazans, but ultimately, you seen the strategies before. i gazans, but ultimately, you seen the strategies before.— strategies before. i know you've been talking _ strategies before. i know you've been talking to _ strategies before. i know you've been talking to people - strategies before. i know you've been talking to people in - strategies before. i know you've| been talking to people in london strategies before. i know you've - been talking to people in london and paris. how did the government �*s see this proposal on the table? do they see it as something they can build from stores a permanent cease—fire or are they still full square behind israel until and when its military objectives are met? i israel until and when its military objectives are met?— israel until and when its military objectives are met? i think there are still a lot _ objectives are met? i think there are still a lot of _ objectives are met? i think there are still a lot of unanswered - are still a lot of unanswered questions. in general, you see what secretary —— secretary of lincoln has said. —— secretary blinken. i certainly since on the side that the longer this
8:12 pm
goes on, the more potential there is for damage to be done to western interests. it's notjust americans. in particular with the internationalisation of the conflict with the targeting over 30 vessels in the red sea, you mentioned the recent story on a tanker. there is a great desire to get away and de—escalate this conflict. they simply don't see respectfully how that can be done in my view. you think there's _ that can be done in my view. you think there's a _ that can be done in my view. you think there's a conflict in the messaging? they don't see that from a cease—fire comes a possible solution to the red sea situation? i solution to the red sea situation? i think many do see the linkage. it's how you stop the islamic republic from repeating it. the how you stop the islamic republic from repeating it.— how you stop the islamic republic from repeating it. the message from the white house _ from repeating it. the message from the white house is _ from repeating it. the message from the white house is the _ from repeating it. the message from the white house is the saudi - from repeating it. the message from the white house is the saudi 's - from repeating it. the message from the white house is the saudi 's are i the white house is the saudi �*s are still interested in the ground guardian in exchange for a
8:13 pm
cease—fire and some form of solution. how important is that specifically in what secretary blinken is trying to achieve? the iron is blinken is trying to achieve? the irony is before _ blinken is trying to achieve? tie: irony is before october, blinken is trying to achieve? tte: irony is before october, this blinken is trying to achieve? t"te: irony is before october, this would have been seen as a crowning achievement in the middle east. there's an appetite in washington. if riyadh is going to be a new champion of the palestinian cause, there is great apprehension over what exactly the saudis would have settled for. i think after the aftermath, or what the saudis will be clear. but they want with it and the americans is a lot of talk of technology and almost something akin to a nato style agreement. there was source pushback to both of those requests. but

near central london towards victoria embankment. the former chancellor kwasi kwarteng is standing down as an mp at the next election. he served at the treasury forjust ten weeks in 2022 after being sacked by liz truss following their much—criticised mini—budget. more than 80 current mps have already said they will leave parliament at the next election. 8 million people on means—tested benefits are now receiving their final cost—of—living payment to help with those high prices and bills. the £299 payment will go directly into bank accounts of those eligible before the 22nd of february without the need to claim. no further payments of this kind are scheduled and charities are urging the government to consider more support donald trump is not immune from prosecution for the alleged crimes he committed during his presidency to reverse the 2020 election. in rejecting unanimously the former president's immunity arguments,
8:16 pm
the appeals court in washington said the public interest in holding a president accountable outweighed the potential negative impacts on the office of the presidency. it's a setback for mr trump and opens the way for the trial to resume in late spring. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal is in washington. this is a thorough dismantling of donald trump's arguments. notable that it was unanimous. this donald trump's arguments. notable that it was unanimous.— that it was unanimous. this is a hue that it was unanimous. this is a huge setback — that it was unanimous. this is a huge setback for _ that it was unanimous. this is a huge setback for donald - that it was unanimous. this is a huge setback for donald trump| that it was unanimous. this is a i huge setback for donald trump for sure. because he wasn't convicted of impeachment by congress, his lawyers argued he should face criminal proceedings. the ruling by the three judges was pretty eviscerating. just one thing that stood out well for me was that they said his immunity claims would work reject the most
8:17 pm
fundamental check on executive power and collapse the system of separated powers by facing the president on the reach of all three branches. what they were essentially saying is, let's say this claim was stood. it would logically... it would mean that a president could call for the political assassination of a rival or cell documents and not face any criminal proceedings. their argument is this is not former president donald trump, this is citizen donald trump, and he will be treated like any other criminal defendant. nomia, thank ou any other criminal defendant. nomia, thank you very _ any other criminal defendant. nomia, thank you very much _ any other criminal defendant. nomia, thank you very much for _ any other criminal defendant. nomia, thank you very much for that. - caren morrison is an associate professor of law at georgia state university. thank you for being with us. the question now is whether this supreme court takes it up. how long before they make the decision? it’s court takes it up. how long before they make the decision?— court takes it up. how long before they make the decision? it's hard to sa . the they make the decision? it's hard to say- the appellate _ they make the decision? it's hard to say. the appellate court _ they make the decision? it's hard to say. the appellate court gave - they make the decision? it's hard to | say. the appellate court gave donald trump until february the 12th two
8:18 pm
filed his petition to be heard by the supreme court. there really isn't... the supreme court asked by its own rules, so there's no real timetable for them to decide. however, the fact that the case was unanimous at least leaves open the possibility that they might just say, "we declined to hear this case," in which case the appellate courtjudgment would stand in the case could resume. llhtiii courtjudgment would stand in the case could resume.— case could resume. untilthat decision is — case could resume. untilthat decision is made, _ case could resume. untilthat decision is made, what - case could resume. untilthat decision is made, what doesl case could resume. until that i decision is made, what does the judge at the trial court do? because i think earlier in the week, she put thejurors on hold. in that i think earlier in the week, she put the jurors on hold. in that trial continue? can they start preparing for that trial while it takes a decision?— decision? most likely not. ithink what would _ decision? most likely not. ithink what would happen _ decision? most likely not. ithink what would happen would - decision? most likely not. ithink what would happen would be - decision? most likely not. ithink what would happen would be thej decision? most likely not. i think- what would happen would be the case would be held in advance or suspended until the supreme court decided. if they do decide to take the case, then that'll take a little bit longer, because not only do they
8:19 pm
decide where they are taking it, they have to make up their minds what they want to do about it. abs, tat what they want to do about it. a lot of --eole what they want to do about it. a lot of people today _ what they want to do about it. a lot of people today have _ what they want to do about it. a lot of people today have said that the nature of the judgment, the fact that it was unanimous it is almost a signal to the supreme court. i guess this is such an important matter in constitutional law for the united states, that you wonder whether some of the justices might want to decide on it. it would only require four to vote. can you see a scenario where they would want the final say? absolutely. i'm just saying there is a possibility that they could decline, but they most likely... who can say? i'm not in the production business. i think there's a very good chance that they will hear it. in the best case scenario, if only to say that the appellate court got it right, changing a few things here and there, there's the possibility that they might overturn the appellate court. but it is a very well reasoned and complete reason.
8:20 pm
it also seems logical, as your correspondent said earlier. it doesn't make sense that a president could call for the assassination of a political rival and just go about his business and not have to face any criminal charges. it doesn't make sense that anybody should be above the law. so, i don't think his chances are good of winning this, but the delay is still going to move faster as he has had a major setback. t faster as he has had a ma'or setback. ~ ., , faster as he has had a ma'or setback. ~ . , ,., setback. i think that is the point. all these moves _ setback. i think that is the point. all these moves have _ setback. i think that is the point. all these moves have been - setback. i think that is the point. | all these moves have been about stalling the trial. but it does now move at a quicker pace. can you see, perhaps not last week, but do you see a situation now where this gets to a verdict for november? it’s see a situation now where this gets to a verdict for november?- to a verdict for november? it's not impossible- _ to a verdict for november? it's not impossible. the _ to a verdict for november? it's not impossible. the supreme - to a verdict for november? it's not impossible. the supreme court . to a verdict for november? it's not l impossible. the supreme court want

8:24 pm
perpetrator, his signs of mental ill health, the fact that there had been a number of warning signs — disturbing drawings that the school had brought to his parents' attention. of the argument in court was they hadn't done enough to warn the school and on the very same morning that they were contacted to say that they were concerned about their son, they allowed him to return to class without telling the school that he even owned a gun. he had been bought at handgun for an early christmas present and he went on to shoot four of his classmates dead and injure a number of others. that's what's at the heart of this case. but in terms of what kind of precedent it sets, that will be for the next stages of the legal process if there is an appeal. the conviction _ if there is an appeal. the conviction is _ if there is an appeal. the conviction is for - if there is an appeal. the conviction is for involuntary manslaughter. does that appertain to each of the four victims? what sort of sentence are we talking about? it

hello there, good evening. the mild spring—like temperatures now thing of the past with much colder air sinking southwards across the uk. we saw some heavy snow today across parts of shetland, blizzard like conditions here, coastal gales too, the mild spring—like temperatures now a thing of the past with much colder air sinking southwards across the uk. we saw some heavy snow today across parts of shetland, blizzard like conditions here, coastal gales, too, across the far north of scotland and some heavy rain pushing southwards on this cold front along with colder air towards the north. that milder air still hanging on towards the far south coast of england, where we'll still see some heavy downpours of rain just gradually pushing southwards as we head through this evening. the rain eventually clearing away into the channel by tomorrow morning. and some more snow showers just pushing southwards and eastwards across western scotland, maybe across parts of northern ireland. here, an ice risk into the start of the day. tomorrow temperatures dipping below freezing, otherwise low single figures. it's a chilly start to the day. but still a legacy of cloud across the south coast as we head through much of wednesday morning —
8:27 pm
maybe one or two light showers, but it's a much quieter looking day of weather on wednesday. there will be lots of brightness around. some sunshine towards the north, some snow showers wintry across the hills once again for parts of western scotland and maybe one or two wintry showers for northern ireland as well. temperatures lower — 4—8 degrees celsius for most. still mild across the far south—west. the rain returns, it's pushing northwards as a warm front as we head throughout wednesday night and into thursday. and as that bumps into the colder—feeling air, it could possibly tend to snow, especially across northern ireland, north wales and northern england as we head through thursday morning. we're most likely to see some accumulations over the hills, but even to lower levels, there could be a couple of centimetres of snowfall perhaps, but it could turn quite quickly back to sleet and then to rain. there's a met office a yellow weather warning in force valid from six o'clock on thursday morning until six o'clock on friday, so do be aware that there could be some snowfall, particularly in those areas. it's all driven by this area
8:28 pm
of low pressure, mild air still towards the south. all this will be falling as rain, but some strong gusty but some strong, gusty winds, too, particularly towards eastern coastal areas. that snow risk transfers further northwards into much of central northern scotland as we head through friday. temperatures across scotland are 3—5 degrees celsius, but further south and that milder—feeling air again, double figures —10—12 celsius. it remains unsettled as we head through the weekend, so the showers never too far away, but for most, the temperatures will be rising. bye— bye.
