in the us super bowl. palestinians have been returning to northern in central gaza.

countries and for the us take over gaza from israel on the next phase of the ceasefire. arab neighbours who'd be expected to take in the palestinians have condemned the idea and the foreign minister of egypt is travelling to washington for talks. but israeli president isaac herzog told the bbc�*s to find a new way forward. which i read as follows. to war and then terrible things happen cannot go on. we have to look for new ideas. our correspondent, wyre davies,

is injerusalem with more. many people will agree we can't return to a situation in gaza where every four or five years there is a war. apart from those on the far right, who agree word for word with what mr trump said.

what mr trump is saying will be what eventually happens just talk us through the significance of this. through that now, is working and it's producing dividends. not only have 21 hostages been released from hamas control in gaza, 500 palestinian prisoners freed from israeli

areas like the netzarim corridor, which in effect to go back to their home areas in northern gaza. very difficult and different because 60% of homes of the ceasefire is working. that an overwhelming majority of israelis support a continuation of the ceasefire to a second phase. and that is up to mr netanyahu. or will he listen to those

hardliners in his government in gaza because they believe hamas has not yet been militarily defeated? last month, have arrived home. our south east asia correspondent, jonathan head, thai farm workers were back home, though somewhat there were tearful reunions with theirfamilies. the thai government had no idea that these men were still alive.

the families here. "we never gave up hope," said thailand's foreign minister. we are really thankful. the five men have now been transported back on israel's farms and orchards. such is the draw of the higher wages. attack, thousands are still willing to go. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok.

constituent raising concerns is determined to uphold high standards of conduct in public office and lead a government in the service the comments that andrew gwynne made, let's be clear, are completely unacceptable, and the prime minister has been very clear from day one of this labour government colleague diane abbott and sexist comments about the deputy prime minister, angela rayner. he's since apologised, saying, "i deeply regret my offence i've caused."

that was a big whatsapp group with a lot of other labour members on. doesn't take action against everyone in that group and messages sent. rajdeep sandhu, bbc news. some news. i can you that plymouth have can tell you that plymouth have beaten liverpool 1—0, and a bit of background to this, plymouth are doing great when it are not doing great when it comes to the league they are but 77 j but 77 only won

and the whole trump administration to achieve this will be a much more difficult nut to crack conviction that he is winning and all he has to do is outfox trump and buy more time in order to capture more our reporter, olga malchevska, told me about the reaction about the expectations on the anticipated peace talks. in the media, both in russian and in ukrainian, mostly mostly they are discussing what is to happen if those peace negotiations do start.

so it gives us an idea that both countries do anticipate that the process is going to move. the spokesperson for the russian president, dmitry peskov, said that he can neither confirm nor deny that. they said that the conversations are going via the different channels. and then he also said that he mightjust not know all the details. but he doesn't know about it. now, the other russian official, who is the deputy head of the foreign affairs committee of the russian parliament, duma, said that they are expecting that the first steps are to be done by the us. which russian media use covering this story.

let's say newsroom is obviously one of the state—controlled so a lot of mixed messages as to whether that call olga, just how is ukrainian media dealing with this then? well, they're being more careful with sharing obviously, theyjust shared the statement of volodymyr zelensky, the president of ukraine, it looks like russia is expanding its army for more they point out that, well, yes, there are lots of conversations. then he also asked to

finish it in 100 days. that it is possible to do so. ursula von der leyen has been speaking in vilnius alongside the three baltic leaders. and belarusian grids had been discussed for decades but gained momentum after russia's invasion of ukraine in 2022. the sucessful switchover was announced by the president of lithuania, gitanas nauseda. system with the continental

european system has been successfully completed. this is a historic moment, marking the end of a long journey for lithuania, latvia and estonia. ursula von der leyen emphasised the historical today, history is made. we connect the baltic states to our continental are being dismantled. neighbours will be a thing of the past. this is freedom. freedom from threats. i spoke to franak viacorka, a nonresident fellow journalist from belarus.

he also works as an advisor for the belarusian it's truly a big, big deal. basically, baltic states, they said bye—bye to russia so, today, baltic states can celebrate. which concern me — that belarus did not connect. belarus will do the same step and will connect to well, arguably, at the moment when it comes to lukashenko, he is very much in the palm of putin. like he would never use energy to blackmail neighbouring nations or other nations that

use russian energy supplies, thinking of gas as well, do you believe him? dependent on russian energy, on gas, oil, electrical energy. and this was the tool basically to put pressure on political leaders. and they do it especially with baltic states. they were doing this with ukraine and of course with belarus. but in belarus, they basically established control over energy system. and i think this is the first thing an independent nation has to do to establish independence, energy independence from russia, because this is the main presidential and national assembly elections. of a bloody drug war, economic contraction and an acute energy crisis.

fifteen months in office. popular with younger voters, he has given the security and lawyer luisa gonzalez, who's aiming to become the country's first female president. will take place in april. our south america correspondent, ione wells, i asked her if it is correct to assume that daniel nobo would really like to remain in power. he took over after his predecessor had to step down to call for him to go. so noboa took over.

that swept the country, including an armed attack to introduce emergency measures. he's given the security forces sweeping new powers as a result. overall, last year, the murder rate in ecuador did start to fall slightly, but other violent crimes like kidnappings have continued to rise. recorded in the country. crime in particular.

to his main left—wing challenger, luisa gonzalez. failed to deliver on his promises, both when it comes we've seen in ecuador in recent years, but also improve the economy, which is another key and, ione, so she's his main challenger. that's right. if there isn't a winner today who gets more than 50% round in april. last year, that he has not done enough to improve crime or the economy. promising fairly similar on security in particular, she's also promised a tough crackdown to continue

next few days, then, dominated by high pressure to our east, and this afternoon, its extensive cloud that we'll have some rain pushes into south—east england, the best of today's sunshine continues to be in the highlands of scotland, and it will continue to feel england, cold enough for a bit of snow up over the tops of the pennines above 300m elevation, and a frost again into monday's forecast, a weather front over france pushes the thickest cloud up across east anglia and south—east england, so a damp and drizzly kind of day here.

i'm not expecting any problems and we'll continue to have the risk of a bit of snow over the tops of the pennines as well from the showers that will come in here. celsius, with mist and fog patches around as well. across the east coast of england, eastern areas of scotland, maybe a bit of rain approaching the far much for the rest of the week. towards friday, perhaps with a bit of snow for a time you can check out how cloudy it is where you are on the app.
