displaced palestinians had begun returning to their homes in northern gaza as part of a ceasefire deal involving the return of israeli hostages. these are live pictures from the gaza strip. so a curious donald trump have agreed to meet soon after the uk prime minister praised the us president for his role in securing the gaza ceasefire deal. i am securing the gaza ceasefire deal. iam here securing the gaza ceasefire deal. i am here in auschwitz. you might be able to hear the bells that are bringing behind me as the world marks holocaust memorial day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz. survivors and the polish president have already gathered here today at auschwitz. they gathered and lit candles to pay tribute and remember the 1.1 million people who were murdered here.

welcome to the programme. we begin in the middle east by thousands of displaced palestinians are returning to northern gaza. these are the live pictures from gaza where we are seeing, as you can see, long lines of people streaming along the coast road. many carrying their possessions on their backs. some on donkeys. visitors were allowed to start returning on foot six hours ago and, since then, we have seen this continuous stream of people, many using the seedy road that you can see. two hours after they were allowed on foot, vehicles were allowed to start moving into the north. but they all have to be inspected at checkpoints. now, over the weekend, thousands of palestinians who had hoped to be allowed back had gathered at a military barrier which had been blocking the route. the israeli authorities had made the returns of tens of thousands of palestinians to

the north conditional on the release of an israeli civilian hostage, that is arbel yehud. now, she was not freed on saturday when four women soldiers were. hamas said it will now release her and two other hostages on thursday followed by three more on saturday. in other developments, egypt has rejected any attempt to relocate palestinians from gaza after us president donald trump said he would like to see more than a million of guys are�*s residents taken in by other arab nations. he told reporters that the strip was literally a demolition site and suggested it to be cleaned out. our correspondent is injerusalem correspondent is in jerusalem and correspondent is injerusalem and gave me the latest on those thousands of people returning to their homes in gaza.- to their homes in gaza. we're not talking — to their homes in gaza. we're not talking about _ to their homes in gaza. we're not talking about thousands l to their homes in gaza. we're| not talking about thousands of people. we are talking about tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people on the move. it is estimated there are some... more than half a million palestinians in

southern gaza who have been displaced from the north and are going to try and go home but you are right to suggest that many of them won't have a home to go to. the united nations said some 60% of all buildings in the gaza strip had been destroyed or damaged. nevertheless, people want to get back to the rubble of their homes and make some attempt to be billed. i homes and make some attempt to be billed. . , ., be billed. i am seeing, also, in one of— be billed. i am seeing, also, in one of the _ be billed. i am seeing, also, in one of the feed _ be billed. i am seeing, also, in one of the feed of- be billed. i am seeing, also, l in one of the feed of pictures, queues of cars waiting. just explain the difference between those who are allowed on foot and if they do have a vehicle? so from seven o'clock local time this morning, palestinians were allowed to start moving on foot. so they all started going up foot. so they all started going up the coastal road which runs all the way along the coast. through gaza. and it is quite a long walk, actually. they were going to the very far north of gaza. you are talking ten kilometres. they were going on foot, carrying whatever they

could. the six, the young. two hours later, they opened the main road which goes right up the middle of the gaza strip. that was open to cars, trucks, any sort of vehicle but all those vehicles have to be inspected by the israeli military and my experience of israeli checkpoints, that could be a very, very long wait for people. be a very, very long wait for --eole. , , be a very, very long wait for neale, , , ., , people. just explain why there was the hold-up. _ people. just explain why there was the hold-up. because - people. just explain why there was the hold-up. because we | people. just explain why there . was the hold-up. because we had was the hold—up. because we had expected this to happen at the weekend. , weekend. yes. under the original— weekend. yes. under the original ceasefire - weekend. yes. under the original ceasefire plan, i weekend. yes. under the original ceasefire plan, it | weekend. yes. under the - original ceasefire plan, it was meant to happen at the weekend. but then we had some wrangling over which hostages should have been released on saturday. so the israelis had said that they wanted a civilian hostage, a woman who is now 29, she was 28 when she was captured, arbel yehud. and she has now been put on the list of those who have been freed later in the week.

because at the weekend we only had those for israeli soldiers coming out so she is going to come out on thursday now with two other israeli hostages and then, on saturday, three further hostages will be released in exchange for scores of palestinian prisoners. fin of palestinian prisoners. on the ceasefire _ of palestinian prisoners. on the ceasefire deal, we are in the ceasefire deal, we are in the phase one. how many people in this first phase i'll be expecting to be released and indeed, how many of those palestinian prisoners that are held in israeli jails will be released in return?- held in israeli jails will be released in return? well, on the israeli — released in return? well, on the israeli side, _ released in return? well, on the israeli side, it _ released in return? well, on the israeli side, it is - released in return? well, on the israeli side, it is 33 - the israeli side, it is 33 israeli hostages in total in the first six week base. seven have already come out so fast thatis have already come out so fast that is 26 more over the next five weeks. in the palestinian side, we have had about 300 prisoners released from israeli jails so far and there is a further 1600 palestinian further i600 palestinian prisoners to come in the next

five weeks. and i expect every weekend there was going to be wrangling over the names on the list. you should come out, whether it is hostages who are alive or dead. the seniority, the seriousness of some of the offences, those palestinian prisoners have been convicted for. so it is going to be a complex process. the negotiations will go on and we have still got to start the negotiations for the second phase of the ceasefire arrangement and that is the moment when we should, if things go to plan, get an end to the war. it is not over yet. we've got a pause. the second phase of the negotiations could be much more complex. john don re-uortin be much more complex. john don reporting from — be much more complex. john don reporting from jerusalem - be much more complex. john don reporting from jerusalem and - reporting from jerusalem and here at the live pictures. we were talking about how vehicles have to be checked before they are allowed in. you can see the queues of vehicles trying to get in but thousands of people are on foot already and they have been walking along that coast vote for the last six

hours or so. we have been speaking to some of them. one ascent to the man currently in central gaza, waiting to get to gaza city and he said he would run to the north like i was in a race, ifi run to the north like i was in a race, if i did not have my pregnant wife with me. he has been describing what he called the scenes ofjoy there. but he says people are expecting to find only destruction and he said we hope that the wearable end and we will be billed everything that has been destroyed. you can see people hugging as they make their way. you will remember at the beginning of the conflict our correspondent was reporting from gaza. he is currently in cairo and told me how he feels watching people returning to north gaza. watching people returning to north gaza-— watching people returning to north gaza. ~ , north gaza. mixed feeling. very emotional day _ north gaza. mixed feeling. very emotional day for _ north gaza. mixed feeling. very emotional day for me _ north gaza. mixed feeling. very emotional day for me and - north gaza. mixed feeling. very emotional day for me and my i emotional day for me and my family. there relieved that my father and the rest of my family will be starting their journey back to gaza city. most

of their homes were destroyed but it is a big day for all palestinians. we were talking about more than a million people on the move. not sure if all of them will manage to cross today because, you know, it is a long walk and it is going to take a very long time to walk this road. it is a dusty road, semi—destroyed food. they made some progress in moving out some of the rubble yesterday. the qataris and the egyptians and the americans who are on the ground to facilitate the return back for the people. they started working on the coastal road early in the morning but to come in the last hour, they started to cross into northern gaza. the processes they allow 20 cards each time to a certain area and they are checked by scanners first and by hands. so

there is a team inspecting the car. checking, to make sure no military equipment inside the car. so every a0 minutes, they will process a0 cars. and they believe they could process as much as a000 cars every day back into gaza. but people are walking freely without any obstacles, without any israeli obstacles, without any israeli obstacles in place because the army has withdrawn forces from the coastal road early in the morning, allowing people to come back. we are in cairo with about 100,000 people who were first forced to displace from their homes and the left cairo, left to cairo for the safety of the people. all of them are waiting for any time you dipped would open the rafah crossing and allow people back into gaza. i5 and allow people back into gaza. , ., , and allow people back into gaza. , . , ., gaza. is that it is an emotional _ gaza. is that it is an emotional moment | gaza. is that it is an i

that the shop, his salon was looted first and then bombed. and his house was completely burned and so he was waiting for, like, you know, long hours in the queue and then, when he got there, when he gets to this place, he couldn't find his house and his income, his source of income, hisjob. so very sad for him. he was very happy when i was talking to him as well last couple of days that finally he will be back to his neighbourhood. it very quickly realised that the fact on the ground is completely different. on the ground is completely different-— different. that is our gaza correspondent. _ different. that is our gaza correspondent. breaking i different. that is our gaza - correspondent. breaking news. the afp news agency are quoting an official saying more than 200,000 displaced people return to north gaza on foot in two hours after the crossing open so that crossing is now been open for just

so that crossing is now been open forjust over six hours but 200,000 crossed in two hours. according to a guy is a security official talking to the afp news agency. we have a life page up and running on the bbc news website. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

hello. 80 years ago today on the 27th of january 19a5, allied troops came to where i am standing and discovered the horrors of the auschwitz—birkenau concentration camp. 1.1 million men, women and children were killed. during the second world war, more than 6 million people were murdered in what is known as the holocaust and today is holocaust memorial day. commemorating those victims,

the vast majority of them were jewish. there will be events taking place all over the world. we have seen some already but their main focus will be here in auschwitz. the weather here, it is clear. it is close to freezing. very, very cold. it has not discouraged around 50 survivors. they are getting old now. in the 80s and 90s. you can see them here supported by friends and relatives very early this morning. they came to lay wreaths at what is known as the black wall. it is sometimes known as the death of all. that is what my tour guide called it. it stands between two blocks of the former concentration camp. for some, the people that you see here, this could be the last time that they are able to visit the memories of those who did not survive. you can see poland's president. he laid a wreath today and said it was the job of his country to preserve the memory of auschwitz. in order

to never let it happen again. the president isjust to never let it happen again. the president is just one of many world leaders who are going to attend the commemoration is today. among them, king charles who will pay his respects on behalf of all of the people that he represents. let's give you a very brief reminder and a brief history of what happened here at auschwitz. it was created across nazi occupied europe and north africa during world war ii. the nazis, under the orders of hitler deported jewish people to auschwitz. they were rounded up to auschwitz. they were rounded up and spent days travelling in cattle cars. many died on the

way. and they arrived at the camp, families were split up. men, women, mothers and fathers were separated from their children. the elderly and the youngest were murdered on arrival. those deemed fit enough were put to work. stripped of everything, their own clothes, glasses, shoes, jewelry. there heads were shaved. the card is removed any kind of personal identity and human dignity. approximately 1.1 million people were murdered at auschwitz. they would die from disease, starvation, executions, beatings are being sent to the gas chambers. nearly a million werejewish. why? this was part of the nazi holocaust and final solution. the plan to eliminate alljewish people simply because of who they were. 0n the 27th of january 19a5, the soviet army began entering

auschwitz and liberated some 7000 prisoners, most of whom were ill or dying. it was then that the true hodder was unveiled. it is commemorated as international holocaust remembrance day worldwide. world leaders are arriving here in auschwitz. among them, the ukrainian president zelensky who, we can see you some pictures of now. he has been in she have today at a commemoration service and now here in auschwitz saying that the world must prevent evil from winning. a reminder, though, vladimir putin did attend the 60th anniversary. he is not welcome here now. there will be no russian presence because of the full—scale war launched against ukraine three years ago. even though the camp, when we think about the 80th anniversary, was liberated by the russian dominated 60th army of the first ukrainian front. let's talk about that with our guest, the professor

at queen mary university and author of the first film of the holocaust. very good to have you with us, jeremy. this video that a lot of people will remember because, when you think about what happened at auschwitz, it is so valuable. pictures and video shot by the red army. can you give us some context as to how it was filmed?— context as to how it was filmed? , ., ~ filmed? yes. thanks. well, the soviets had _ filmed? yes. thanks. well, the soviets had been _ filmed? yes. thanks. well, the soviets had been filming - filmed? yes. thanks. well, the soviets had been filming nazi l soviets had been filming nazi atrocities, the violence inflicted against their own people particularly in occupied ukraine, occupied belarus and the smaller parts of russia that were occupied. they have been filming that since 19a1. and that included filming the aftermath of the holocaust in places like she have in ukraine. so they had been filming this to create a kind of propaganda narrative but

also to create a record of nazi crimes for a possible future war crimes tribunal that all thought could happen at the end. so, when they came to auschwitz at the beginning of 19a5, they also filmed this. they were not entirely sure what to make of it. it was hard for them to get their heads around precisely what had happened and they filmed things such as... they film the extent of the jewish victimhood. for example, piles of ritualjewish prayer... and they did not put that out in the final film. they only released it shortly after victory in may 19a5. they only released it shortly

after victory in may 1945. some --eole after victory in may 1945. some people even — after victory in may 1945. some people even cheering. - after victory in may 1945. some people even cheering. that - after victory in may 1945. some people even cheering. that is l people even cheering. that is ri . ht. people even cheering. that is riuht. of people even cheering. that is right. of course, _ people even cheering. that is right. of course, all- right. of course, all documentary film has an element of staging and in that period in particular, that was the case. but they filmed more than they ended up using. yeah, they filmed a scene of inmates where they got the amaze to sort of cheer as the red army arrived and even they realised that was and even they realised that was a ridiculous and beyond the pale. some of the stage and, though, you could say was done for understandable and justifiable reasons. they wanted to film what life was like inside the barracks in auschwitz but the front line cameramen did not have lighting apparatus, any kind of lighting and in the film conditions at the time you needed later to film inside. and so they had to

get all of that before they could film inside the barracks. can i ask you, vladimir putin is not here today and there will be no russian presence here today. what is the narrative around the holocaust now in russia?— now in russia? vladimir putin is in leningrad... _ now in russia? vladimir putin is in leningrad... what - now in russia? vladimir putin is in leningrad... what was i is in leningrad... what was leningrad during the war but st petersburg today. and he made a statement where he lists... it talks about the holocaust but he has a list of the victims of the holocaust as jewish he has a list of the victims of the holocaust asjewish people, russians and gypsies. roma. and so, you know, the soviets, 19a5, they did not really like to recognise the extent of the nazi anti—semitism and targeting of dues. they underplayed bat, downplay that enormously. but now they accept that but they put russians just after that. so they tried to

emphasise anti—semitism and rousseau phobia. —— russian phobia. they exploited the memory to justify the invasion of ukraine. because they are defending in their own terms. they are defending the russian speaking or as they think that russian population of eastern ukraine. and so... yes. jeremy, we need — ukraine. and so... yes. jeremy, we need to _ ukraine. and so... yes. jeremy, we need to leave _ ukraine. and so... yes. jeremy, we need to leave it _ ukraine. and so... yes. jeremy, we need to leave it there. - we need to leave it there. thank you so much forjoining us. good to have you with us. mary is with us. not sure if you are able to hear what jeremy was saying. but i think one of the things that are so staggering for people when they come here is you were told there are actually aa,000 concentration camps and ghettos throughout europe. and the focus for most people is the space where we are standing now. auschwitz—birkenau. why is

that? now. auschwitz-birkenau. why is that? ~ , , that? well, this is the epitome- _ that? well, this is the epitome. the - that? well, this is the | epitome. the epicentre. that? well, this is the - epitome. the epicentre. this is the most — epitome. the epicentre. this is the most concentrated nexus of evil because it had everything. it evil because it had everything. it was — evil because it had everything. it was an— evil because it had everything. it was an extermination centre with— it was an extermination centre with a — it was an extermination centre with a dedicated gas chamber and crematorium and the gas chamber— and crematorium and the gas chamber here in auschwitz, one right— chamber here in auschwitz, one right behind me. it is also had a network— right behind me. it is also had a network of sub—camps, labour camps — a network of sub—camps, labour camps. people were chosen, selected, _ camps. people were chosen, selected, that famous word to id selected, that famous word to go either— selected, that famous word to go either one side straight to the gas — go either one side straight to the gas chambers or the other side, — the gas chambers or the other side, for— the gas chambers or the other side, for slave labour. and so it fulfilled _ side, for slave labour. and so it fulfilled a multiplicity of functions and because people were — functions and because people were deported across the whole of europe, many different nationalities came together here — nationalities came together here and because there were so many— here and because there were so many labour camps there were a remarkably high number of

terribly— remarkably high number of terribly small but, compared to other— terribly small but, compared to other extermination centres, relatively high number of survivors. if you think of the dedicated killing centres, they had very. _ dedicated killing centres, they had very, very few survivors and — had very, very few survivors and only— had very, very few survivors and only a _ had very, very few survivors and only a tiny handful from others _ and only a tiny handful from others. whereas theirs had a lot more _ others. whereas theirs had a lot more survivors from the multiplicity of sub—camps and other— multiplicity of sub—camps and other camps around. and so auschwitz has become internationally known because there — internationally known because there are a survivor testimonies in so many different languages in the post—war period. so it is really— post—war period. so it is really important, as the symbolic concentration of all things— symbolic concentration of all things the nazis were doing but the danger of the focus only on it, the danger of the focus only on it. we — the danger of the focus only on it. we lose _ the danger of the focus only on it, we lose sight of the much wider— it, we lose sight of the much wider spread, as you mention, of the —

wider spread, as you mention, of the innumerable labour camps, _ of the innumerable labour camps, small ghettos, larger ghettos, _ camps, small ghettos, larger ghettos, other concentration camps — ghettos, other concentration camps across europe. more dense in some — camps across europe. more dense in some areas than in other areas _ in some areas than in other areas far— in some areas than in other areas. far more of them in some parts _ areas. far more of them in some parts of— areas. far more of them in some parts of europe than in other parts — parts of europe than in other parts of— parts of europe than in other parts of europe than in other parts of europe but we have to understand that wider system if we are — understand that wider system if we are going to understand how people — we are going to understand how people got to hear. this was almost — people got to hear. this was almost the last killing centre, but killings, violence, exploitation, stigmatisation, discrimination were carried on all the — discrimination were carried on all the way through the prewar period — all the way through the prewar period from the very start of the war— period from the very start of the war onwards before the nazi treatment ofjewish people treatment of jewish people turned _ treatment ofjewish people turned into what they called the final solution of the self developed jewish question. so we have — developed jewish question. so we have to put auschwitz into context _ we have to put auschwitz into context. ~ , . ~ context. we will be back with ou context. we will be back with you through _ context. we will be back with you through the _ context. we will be back with you through the day - context. we will be back with you through the day and - context. we will be back with you through the day and i - context. we will be back with i you through the day and i hope you through the day and i hope you can stay with us for our continuing coverage here in auschwitz.

hello again. storm erminia is making its presence felt across our shores, so named by the spanish met service because of the impacts in spain. but the met office also has a couple of yellow weather warnings in force connected with the storm. so, wind for southern parts of england and wales valid until 6am tomorrow morning, and rain for wales valid until midnight tonight. so, we've got the rain that crossed us through the morning and overnight pushing up towards northeast scotland and rotating around the low pressure which is this storm. we've got squally showers — some heavy, some merging to give longer spells of rain — some hail and thunder mixed in there, and gusty winds — the strongest across the west and also the south. temperature—wise, around about average for the time of year. we're looking six to about nine degrees. as we head on through the rest of the afternoon and into

the evening and overnight period, the rain continues to push northeastwards across scotland. we continue with this rash of showers moving across england, wales and northern ireland, some of those will be wintry on highest ground. the winds will slowly start to ease, but it still will be blustery tonight, and we're looking at two to seven degrees as our overnight lows. tomorrow, the low pressure, which is this storm, continues to drift towards the east, and then we've got another low pressure coming in from the atlantic. so, during the course of tuesday, all these showers continue to push eastwards. it will be brighter behind, but it's still going to be blustery. and we've got a cold northerly wind blowing in some showers across the north of scotland. temperatures seven to about ten degrees north to south. so we say goodbye to the low pressure that's the storm. and then we've got this next area of low pressure coming in. now, there's still a little bit of uncertainty as to just how far north the rain will come. this is what we think at the moment across some southern counties of england. but it could push a little bit further north than that. some showers coming

in on the northwesterly wind, but in between, a quieter day. a lot of dry weather around. temperatures seven to about ten degrees. and then, looking beyond that, well, as we head through thursday, it's looking like it's going to be dry for most of us. more settled, and it continues more settled as we head into the ensuing days. but there will still be some rain on the cards.

inspectors to visit chips around the world, international maritime organisation and the international labour organisation and our numbers are the best we have ever had, thatis are the best we have ever had, that is the good news. the bad news is there are serial noncompliance by a number of ship owners. the presentation on your screen has a number of ships abandoned. last year we saw 312 ships abandoned, which is over 100% increase. that is nearly 5,000 seafarers on ships. from those seafarers there is a make up of a number of nationalities, indians, syrians, ukrainians, filipinos and indonesians. it is notjust they are abandoned, you mentioned no food, no water, we have to band together with the community to help them, but we also estimate that there is

about $20 million in unpaid wages of which we have recovered half. i wages of which we have recovered half.- wages of which we have recovered half. ., ., , ., recovered half. i want to show ou recovered half. i want to show you some _ recovered half. i want to show you some video. _ recovered half. i want to show you some video. he _ recovered half. i want to show you some video. he said - recovered half. i want to show you some video. he said this i recovered half. i want to show. you some video. he said this to us. sanjay isn't about $a0,000. he is stuck on the ship and only way he can get access to food, water or power is to do this, is to walk at low tide to the coast. this is being replicated around the world. why does sanjay find himself in this position? latte why does san'ay find himself in this position?— this position? we have had a campaign — this position? we have had a campaign for _ this position? we have had a campaign for over _ this position? we have had a campaign for over 75 - this position? we have had a campaign for over 75 years i campaign for over 75 years against flags of convenience and the problem with flags of convenience is an owner is in a differentjurisdiction to the flag so the ship gets abandoned and we have a multi—jurisdictional challenge about how to help these people. they may be recruited, sometimes illegally, through india with an employment contract that is not always enforced, with an owner

somewhere else in the world. i have a lag —— list here of the different flags, so we have panama, palau, tanzania. panama is a very famous register but some of the registers are completely unknown to your audience. completely unknown to your audience-— audience. why is this happening? - audience. why is this happening? they - audience. why is this happening? they are j audience. why is this - happening? they are not been commissioned to do anything so they arejust being commissioned to do anything so they are just being abandoned? there is a very professional part of the shipping industry, as well. you will see them delivering the 90% of cargo that you mention but there are also people who try to make money out of the shipping industry. it is unregulated at its source and there is this question about holding ship owners accountable. someone who isn't responsible as a business person, buys a ship, thinks they can make easy money and then just leaves the ship. that means human beings abandoned
