on saturday , un secretary general antonio guterres visited the rafah crossing. it is clear, either aid will increase or severe hunger will develop. let's choose an option that is promising and on the right side of history. the executive director of the world peace foundation and the author of the book mass hunger, history and future. the people of gaza are in a state of food emergency and disaster. right now, a significant number of children in gaza are dying of hunger and common diseases. these two issues were placed together like a vicious circle and the children of gaza kill probably thousands of people in gaza have lost their lives because of this. to say that gaza is on the verge of death is not true. the situation in gaza is a danger to human survival. we have never seen such a situation since the development of criteria for measuring the acute food crisis in 20 years ago. now the entire population of gaza is in a situation of judicial emergency, judicial crisis or prison. simply put, too many people are starving to death. this has never happened before in

expressed grief over the deaths of people at crocus city hall, and the office of secretary general antonio guterres is closely monitoring behind the situation, the ministry of foreign affairs and pakistan expressed their condolences in connection with the tragedy, and some coincidences raise questions. the white house, represented by john kirby, claims that it had no information about the preparation of terrorist attacks. and allies that, in what does not seem like a coincidence, earlier this month western countries, led by the united states, already issued a series of warnings, albeit to their citizens, not to join public meetings in russia. on march 8, the us embassy reported that is monitoring reports that extremists have... imminent plans to attack large gatherings in moscow, including concerts, and us citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings for the next 48 hours, but that time has long since expired. in touch with us is a member of the alpha anti-terror group veterans association, reserve lieutenant colonel andrei popov. andrey, greetings, of course, now there may be many question

not sure exactly what has been achieved but antonio guterres will be speaking shortly in rafah on thebetter prospect for more sunshine as we head into sunday. but the culprit, this area of low pressure to the north of the uk. lots of isobars on the charts hit the strong winds. and our air source coming down from the northwest, from iceland and greenland, that's why it's feeling cold. so a chilly, blustery afternoon for many lots of showers rattling through, particularly in the north and the west here. they'll be wintry on the hills. could see some hail and thunder mixed into the showers across the midlands and southern england at times. winds gusting 30, maybe a0 miles an hour in excess of 50 miles an hour across the north of the uk. so gales here as well. so on the thermometer, temperatures will read around 7 to 10 celsius. but when you factor in that strong west—northwesterly wind, it's going to feel more like these temperatures suggest. so quite a chilly feel out there. as we head into this evening and overnight, it looks like the showers continue. it stays blustery for all areas.

un secretary general antonio guterres, yemen's ansarullah, hamas, syria, egypt, jordan, saudi arabia, pakistan, france and central africa also condemned the terrorist attack in moscow. but about this terrorist operation. to russia, i am talking now with the expert on russian affairs, mr. lajordi , i say hello to you, since the first minutes of this incident. please point the tip of the arrow towards america, what is the reason for this issue? hello , i would like to serve you and dear viewers. the reason is that on the 18th of march, the american embassy made a statement in the american embassy. rowe issued a statement warning american citizens living in russia to avoid any gatherings, especially concerts, within 48 hours . i remember those two days exactly. that moscow took a very strict security mode after this the statements issued were somehow waiting for this to happen until, unfortunately, this terrorist operation happened last night. one of the other things that , as you say , pointed the arrow towards the american government is that mr. john kirby announced this. last night, h

antonio guterres also called for the release of hostages held by hamas and the speedy delivery of haylestinian territory, warning a threatened israeli assault could put gaza into a deeper circle of hell. >> my strongest appeal today is to honor the spirit of ramadan by silencing the guns, and removing all obstacles to ensure the delivery of lifesaving aid at the speed and massive scale required. at the same time, and in the ramadan spirit of compassion, i call for the immediate release of all hostages. the highs of the world are watching. the eyes o history are watchingf. we cannot look away. we must act to avoid more preventable death. maryam: the british conservative mp, chair of the foreign affairs committee, just returned from a trip to the middle east. she told us how disappointed she is to see a blocked. >> we're on the verge of a famine in gaza. we have children drinking puddle water. we have even humanitarian workers living off animal feed. not enough aid is tting in, and that is why you are seeing this now a new approach by the western world where they are coming together to

on the egyptian side of the rafah border crossing, un secretary-general antonio guterres said blockiid deliveries is a "moral outrage." he said it was time to "truly flood gaza" with aid, as he put it, and called for an immediate ceasefire. a russian spacecraft blasted off from kazakhstan today, taking a crew of three to the international space station for a six-month stay. the team is made up of an american, a russian and a belarusian. it's one of the last remaining collaborations between russia and the west. and laurent de brunhoff has died. after he died, laurent nurtured his creation and, as father did, provided the illutrations of the elephant king of celesteville, it grew into a global fnchise. de brunhoff was 98 years old. still to come on "pbs news weekend." the living and working conditions for migrant workers on dairy farms. and, how a small town in wisconsin is dealing with the recent surge of migrants. ♪ >> this is "pbs news weekend," from weta studios in washington, home of the pbs newshour, weeknights on pbs. john: advocates of illegal immigration say foreign-born worke

meanwhile, the un secretary general, antonio guterres, whilst visiting the rafah crossing on the egyptian a ceasefire and demanding israel give "total, unfettered" access to humanitarian goods throughout the territory. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell, is following developments from jerusalem. i spoke to her a little earlier. the top israeli negotiators have come back now, we understand, from doha. we've heard from an israeli official that there was a bridging proposal, that's how it was termed, that was made by the us, which is helping to mediate here, along with qatar and egypt. this basically laying out a kind of formula for the number of palestinian prisoners that would be released from israeli jails in return for each israeli hostage that could be released, as a result of this potential deal. it's not a very positive sign that top negotiators have come back, it means they are not close to sealing a deal at the moment, we're not hearing about any breakthrough, and there is a senior palestinian official who is close to the talks, who has said that there are still deep diffe

the un secretary—general, antonio guterres, will renew his call for a humanitarian ceasefire in gazagypt today. he will go to the rafah border crossing, where hundreds of lorries on the egyptian side are waiting to take basic aid into gaza. israel is still under mounting international pressure to allow more aid into gaza. and that's amid warnings of imminent famine. meanwhile, russia and china have blocked a us draft resolution that tied an immediate ceasefire in gaza to the release of hostages held by hamas. the two countries said the text put conditions on a pause in the fighting — and failed to clearly oppose a planned israeli ground offensive in rafah. the first british field hospital has been set up in gaza, and is aiming to be fully functioning early next week. the hospital was sent by truck from manchester to provide life—saving medical treatment for the sick and injured in gaza. it has been established by a team from the aid organisation, uk med, which deploys many nhs staff to emergencies. uk med already has surgical teams working in the al aqsa hospital, the only hospital s

the un secretary—general, antonio guterres, said he was shocked to learn that over 100 people had beenincident "tragic and alarming". he's also expressed concern that efforts to broker a temporary ceasefire between israel and hamas may now be in jeopardy. earlier, i spoke to our middle east correspondent yolande knell to know the latest about the gaza aid incident. what is very clear from the pictures that we have seen is that these are completely desperate scenes, that people in north of gaza, as we have been told by the un repeatedly for weeks now, are starving. there has been a huge shortage of aid getting through. only this week, a few convoys have been allowed. this was a privately contracted convoy with aid coming into the gaza strip, with the israeli military overseeing proceedings there. we are told that people came from across the north of the strip, really making their way to this site on the coastal road, just south of gaza city, as an aid distribution point. there were chaotic scenes, as the aid arrived. still starkly contrasting accounts of what happened. when you hear fro

say, it comes at exactly the same time as the head of the un, the secretary—general of the un antonio guterres, criticising the israeli government for its conduct of the war and for depriving gaza of aid. so it appears to be a pretty direct attack on the un itself. earlier, i spoke to hani almadhoun, director of philanthropy for unrwa usa, a non—profit that fundraises here in the us to support the work of unrwa worldwide. a powerful statement on x. what are the stakes here? people are starved. my sister went to a hospital and she met with a kid who is on the brink of dying because of malnutrition. these are real people and real neighbours and unfortunately we see unrwa under siege essentially, and they are not able to deliver aid in gaza so it is tying our hands during circumstances that are dire, unfathomable, and what can we do? we are trying to help and fundraiser but there are miles of aid outside of gaza waiting to be allowed in. for some reason, due to the lack of political will, we are not getting that anywhere near delivery for people who need it. and if unrwa has its hands tied, who c
