To discuss it shortly. They are the among the latest victims in a war that, hamas says, has now left more than 30,000 people killed. Well get the latest from the us border. Joe biden and donald trump are in texas, trying to win over voters on one of the most important issues in novembers president ial election. We hearfrom south korea, where striking doctors and the government are locked in a stand off over staff shortages. More on our top story. As weve heard, the Hamas Run Health Ministry says more than 30,000 postings have been killed since israel started its Military Action in october. 0ur Diplomatic Correspondent paul adams has been watching a new statement that has come from israels chief military spokesman. Now paul has watched this and said there are some elements of it that differ from the account given earlier by other idf spokespeople. The rear admiral says that aid convoy, which happened this morning, had been coordinated, in his words, by the idf. 38 trucks involved with the egyptian aid being distributed by private contractors. He goes on to describe how thousands of gazans had descended upon the trucks he talked about some of them violently pushing and trampling, looting the humanitarian supplies, he says. Now what is interesting is that he says tanks didnt fire on the convoy, he said that there was a cautious attempt by tanks trying to disperse by firing a few warning shots and the tank decided to retreat to avoid harming the gazans that were there. Up paul adams reveals the idf had actually been conducting humanitarian operations of this kind for the last four nights without any problem until early this morning. The israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahus office also said the idf have submitted a plan to provide humanitarian assistance to the gaza strip, and their words, humanitarian assistance to the gaza strip, and theirwords, in humanitarian assistance to the gaza strip, and their words, in a humanitarian assistance to the gaza strip, and theirwords, in a manner that will prevent the looting that has occurred in the Northern Strip and other areas, as we were reflecting earlier, the amount of aid thats actually been getting into gaza since the war has decreased by a huge amount and aid agencies have been warning about impending starvation there. We also talked there about that figure from the hamas run health and ministry, saying more than 30,000 postings have been killed since october 7th. Bbc verify have been examining how many of those killed were members of hamas, which is designated a Terrorist Organisation by the uk and other governments. Heres frank gardner. Bbc verify has been covering this war ever since the October The 7th raid on israel. Its a war that has ravaged one of the most densely populated places on earth home to over two Million People who cant leave. So, how has this 30,000 deaths figure been arrived at . Its based on the number of dead bodies brought to hospitals. The World Health Organization has previously endorsed gazas Health Ministry casualty figures as credible. If anything, 30,000 could even be an underestimate, due to bodies still buried under the rubble. So lets break this down. As you can see from this graph here, the vast majority of those killed have been women and children. Today, the pentagon said more than 25,000 women and children have been killed in gaza. Nearly half of gazas population is under 18. Separating civilian deaths from hamas fighters is not easy. Those fighters tend to be embedded amongst the civilian population. Some are in uniform, some are not. Israel has accused hamas of using gazas civilian population as human shields. But there is no question that those civilians are suffering the brunt of israels military operation. So, how many hamas and other militant fighters have been killed . At the start of the war, it was widely assumed hamas had around 30,000 fighters. On february the 19th, hamas reportedly admitted 6,000 of theirfighters had been killed, but they later denied that. As of today, the Israeli Army Say they have killed at least 10,000 fighters. There are some clear discrepancies here between the israeli, the palestinian and pentagon figures. They dont all add up. But two things do stand out clearly the civilian death toll in gaza is the highest of any Israeli Palestinian conflict in recent history. And secondly, hamas although severely damaged still has an unknown number of unaccounted for fighters. Russias president Vladimir Putin has warned western governments not to send troops to ukraine saying the consequences of doing so would be tragic. In his annual State Of The Nation Address in moscow, he claimed his forces were advancing confidently inside ukraine, two years after the invasion. 0ur russia editor Steve Rosenberg has more. It was president putins 19th State Of The Nation Address. And he used it to send this warning to western nations. Dont send your troops to ukraine. Translation they need to understand once and for all that we have weapons, too, that can strike targets on their territory. And everything they think up and scare the world with risks a Nuclear Conflict and the end of civilisation. Regarding russia, he pledged to reduce poverty, boost the birth rate and raise incomes. Well, there is an election coming up. The kremlin clearly wanted russians to see this speech. It was shown live on billboards. Even in some cinemas. Although this moscow movie house wasnt exactly overflowing. Putin and popcorn not an obvious combo. This address was Part Campaign speech, part State Of The Nation, and State Of The World as Vladimir Putin sees it, with warnings to the west and promises to his people that life here will get better if he stays in the kremlin. As for the current wave of repression in russia and the intensifying crackdown on dissent, there was no mention of that. And the audience, russian mps and senators, had little to say about the death in prison of the countrys most famous opposition leader. Are you not concerned about the State Of The Nation or its reputation after the death of Alexei Navalny . Whos that . I am ready to comment on the message which Vladimir Putin delivered but not on other issues, so thank you. The president , too, has stayed silent on mr navalny� s death. Alexei navalny is expected to be buried tomorrow at this moscow cemetery. His allies have accused the russian authorities of blocking their plans for a Public Memorial Service for him. As for the kremlin, the choreography here sent a clear message that on russias political stage, there is only room for one man. Steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. Lets turn to kenya where, for more than a decade, the family of this woman, agnes wanjiru, has been awaiting justice. She was last seen alive, while exiting a hotel with a british soldier.

Theres a growing row in south korea, where striking doctors and the government are locked in a stand off over staff shortages. Doctors walked out last week in protest against the governments plans to increase the number of people admitted to Medical School each year. They argue that more recruitment wont deal with the fundamental flaws to the system. But the government isnt backing down, and has accused them of putting patients lives at risk. It has told them to return to the work or risk losing their licenses. Translation isnt your job to cure patients . Doctors exist for patients, and the patients are anxiously awaiting for you. If you want to oppose the government, leaving your patient is not the right way to do it. Doctors have hit back, saying that issues such as poor pay and working conditions should be dealt with first. With tensions high, some of them feel victimised by the government. Heres the view of one doctor. Translation please stop insulting trainee doctors by treating them like criminals. Patients are waiting for us. And their families are anxious. Public opinion is divided some people sympathise with the doctors. Translation when they expand the number of medical translation when they expand the number of medical students, translation when they expand the number of medical students, the translation when they expand the number of medical students, the new| number of medical students, the new students wont be as reliable because schools will have to accept anyone just to fill the quota. If things continue like this, surgeries will stop altogether. Doctors in clinical instructors will all disappear, and itll be really dangerous without anyone able to perform surgeries, especially for cancer patients. However, the overwhelming majority dont support the strikes. Translation what is happening to the country . Translation what is happening to the country .

This is a spectacular showdown between Junior Doctors in the government. The doctors have walked out for over a week now over government plans to increase the number of doctors in the country. Starting from next year, the government wants to admit 2000 more medical students to university each year. Now this is to address a shortage of doctors in the country because koreas population is ageing rapidly, and they are already shortages and care. 0ther rapidly, and they are already shortages and care. Other doctors argue that more doctors wont necessarily address these shortages, and there are much more fundamental flaws in the system. They say some areas of medicine are overheated, they are too competitive. Doctors are choosing to enter the more lucrative fields such as cosmetic surgery. So by increasing the number of doctors in the system, youll just increase the competition in these already competitive areas.

Lets turn to a story about a designer whos one and a War Democrat Award for transforming cron shells into plant pots. Prawn shells make up over Eight Billion tonnes of Landfill Waste every year. Meanwhile, half a billion plastic pots are thrown away, in the uk alone. That was fishy enough for one designer to take action, by transforming the net waste into something useful. Rhea thomas turns the waste from prawn shells into fertilising seed trays and its quite the catch for the Arts Foundation, who have given her a futures awards fellowship. Rhea thomasjoins me now.

Stay with us here on bbc news. Hello there. Well, the weather has been particularly grey and wet today across eastern areas of england. You might recognise this Weather Watcher picture, which shows the uks tallest building, the shard, in london or at least the bottom half of it, the top half sticking out into the cloud and the rain. Now, the rain has been caused by this slow moving Weather Front that really dragged its heels. But further northwest, we did manage something a bit brighter although we did have some strong winds bringing some large waves to lerwick harbour, in shetland. 0vernight tonight, those winds will fall light in scotland and Northern England. With cooler spells here, well probably see some frost developing in the countryside. At the same time, a band of rain will start to encroach in wales and southwest england the rain itself could be heavy enough to cause some localised surface water flooding, given how wet the weather has been over recent weeks. For friday the low pressure is here to stay, and this occlusion brings with it the risk of some hill snow. Now we are talking about the risk just across The High Ground 200 metres or above with the main threat across north wales, the peaks, the pennines, and The High Ground in northern ireland. The amount of snow we get will vary a lot from place to place some places not getting very much, others could see five centimetres or more, bringing some localised disruption to high level routes. But at lower elevations which of course, is where the vast majority of us live were looking atjust cold outbreaks of rain. Temperatures really struggling underneath that band of rain, probably 2 3 celsius for large parts of the day. Otherwise we should get up to around 8 9. But therell be plenty of showers around for wales, the midlands, east anglia, and southern counties of england, as well. Now, heading into the weekends by the prospects, well, we continue to have the same area of low pressure withers, albeit its weakening and drifting northwards through the course of the weekend. Now, on saturday, its a day of sunshine and showers. Sunny spells may well be quite limited, but showers will be widespread some of them will have hail and thunder mixed in, and itll still be cold enough for a bit of snow over the tops of the scottish mountains and the hills in Northern England but really quite high up, so im not really expecting any weather impacts from that. It will continue to be quite Cold Temperatures around 6 9 celsius, so those temperatures below average. By sunday, most of the showers will be across the northern half of the uk. In the south, something a bit drierfor wales, the midlands, east anglia, and Southern England but even here, you could see an odd passing shower. Temperatures continue to run a bit below average for the time of year highs between 8 10 celsius. Thats your latest weather, bye for now. Hello, im sarah campbell. Youre watching the context on bbc news. Nice weather, beautiful day, but a very dangerous border. We are going to take care of it, thank you. Were a mere eight months away from the general were a mere eight months away from the general election. And of course while we dont know that this will actually be a matchup between sitting President Biden and former president trump, one thing is for sure, with Republican Voters they feel that nothing has changed this past four years. The polling consistently of american puts emigration of the top two concerns. Beaten usually only by the economy into the dramatically increased cost of living. Its a battle at the border today. The two men most likely to be running for us president are in two texan border hotspots, each hoping to persuade voters that they have the answer to cutting illegal immigration. The number of gazans killed since October The 7th tops 30,000 according to the hamas led ministry of health. We have a Special Report into an incident overnight in which more than 100 people were killed.
