sam nuyoma, has died at the age of 95. and one of the world's biggest sporting events returns controlled by israeli troops since november 2023. re—opening it was a condition of the ceasefire deal with hamas. people walking on foot

and on donkeys. the israeli president, isaac herzog, told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg programme he views president trump's gaza plan as an attempt to find a new way forward. and resettle palestinians living there in other nearby countries. president trump basically came forward and said something which i read as follows. we have to look for new ideas.

of the gaza strip right now. in gaza where every four or five years there is a war. the forcible transfer of people, hundreds of thousands of people, to other countries. and the handing over of gaza somehow to american control. you won't find many israeli politicians, apart from those on the far right, who agree word for word politicians have used

and in that sense they support what donald trump is saying will be what eventually happens in gaza because most of it is probably illegal. from that netzarim corridor which cuts off the north from just talk us through the significance of this. this is another indication that the first phase of the ceasefire between israel and hamas, we are about halfway not only have 21 hostages been released from hamas control jails, there is an increased amount of humanitarian aid going into gaza, there has been the partial reopening of the border crossing between egypt and gaza

divided gaza in half and that has allowed many more people to go back to their home areas in northern gaza. and buildings in gaza have been either destroyed or damaged. that an overwhelming majority of israelis support and the key thing now i think as we approach the end of the first phase of the ceasefire is will a second phase start and that is up to continue and more hostages

to be released? militarily defeated? the british mp andrew gwynne has apologised for what he calls "badly misjudged comments" after his whatsapp and councillors were leaked to the mail on sunday. as a health minister and suspended by the labour party. as �*nasty�* and �*sinister�*. he was a junior minister for health, but after comments deemed unacceptable,

he's been sacked. about bin collections, he used an expletive and then vote, screw you." "ps, hopefully you'll have croaked it by the all—outs." that's when all the seats on a council voted for. but he's also been suspended from the labour party. a government spokesperson said, "the prime minister very clear from day one of this labour government standards of public office, and he's acted decisively to dismiss andrew gwynne

for that reason. colleague diane abbott and sexist comments but the conservatives want further action, with concerns in the labour party. and messages sent.

war on his country. it's winning. his first promise was to fix it within 24 hours. and the whole trump administration to achieve but speaking today i do not see that happening. this will be a much more difficult nut to crack given the interests of the sides vladimir putin's conviction that he is winning and all he has to do is outfox donald trump and capture more ukrainian territories in this war, given and weaken the ukrainian state.
