Secure passage throughout gaza to reach the people that need humanitarian aid. Our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, has more on the International Pressure for an independent investigation. Israelis will say, look, we will investigate this. We will see if there are lessons to be learned. Theyve said theyre going to do that. Whether they will do a kind of open, internationally supervised investigation of the kind thats being alluded to by some outside israel, i slightly doubt that. But they clearly recognise that theyre under pressure to explain what happened in the early hours of thursday morning, because now it isntjust a question of what the israeli army is saying versus what palestinian doctors are saying. You now have, for the first time, International Observers in the form of representatives from the un who were in Shifa Hospital yesterday and who met people who they said had experienced gunshot wounds. Now the un team says they did not see dead bodies, so they were not able to make an assessment of how those people died. But they did say they talked to people who had experienced Gunshot Injuries at the scene of the convoy. So were trying to reach out to the un, trying to find out more about what they heard and what they saw. But in the meantime, we have these growing demands not just for an investigation into what happened, but for israel to do more to address the humanitarian situation. Because what that awful episode in the early hours of thursday demonstrated was just how chronic and desperate this humanitarian situation has become, how dangerous it has become, and the urgent need for more to be done to address it. And thats why youre hearing from the united states, for example, from joe biden, a reference to starting to do airdrops over the gaza strip, something thejordanian government has already been doing for some time. I think thats a measure of the desperation that the International Community is feeling about trying to find whatever way they can to improve the situation in gaza. As World Leaders plan try to get aid into northern gaza, the need there is ever more desperate. The World Food Programme has warned that if nothing changes, a famine is imminent in northern gaza. According to local health officials, a tenth child in the area has now died there from malnutrition and dehydration. As hospitals struggle with a lack of equipment, several other children remain in a critical condition. The aunt of one child told journalists he didnt have enough milk. Translation this child is suffering from severe dehydration due to a lack of milk. His mum breast feeds him, but she hasnt eaten and there is no artificial milk. He was rescued from the rubble when he was just a month old. He has lost 2a members of his family. Joining us now on the line, dr hussam abu safiya.

The uk Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Has warned that britains democracy is under threat from islamist extremists and the far right. In an address outside Downing Street he said the government and country must face down the extremists. Mr sunak� s unexpected intervention follows the by election victory of the controversial far left politician george galloway, Whose Campaign in a seat with many muslim voters focused on gaza. 0ur political correspondent, laila nathoo, reports the Prime Minister arriving back at Downing Street last night, ahead of an unusual address to the country from outside number ten, to warn that extremists were spreading poison. There are forces here at home trying to tear us apart. Since october the 7th, there have been those trying to take advantage of the very human angst that we all feel about the terrible suffering that war brings to the innocent, women and children. To advance a divisive, hateful ideological agenda. His speech was prompted by the election of the controversial veteran politician, george galloway, in thursdays by election in rochdale. Last night, he held a Victory Rally in his new constituency. He had fought his campaign promising to stand up for the people of gaza, and had this response to the Prime Ministers condemnation of his stance on the middle east. I won, and people are going to have to get used to it, dont ask me questions that you asked me all through the campaign. I won, and that argument is closed. My views were my views and they were endorsed by the electorate. Rishi sunak said protests about the war in gaza had descended into intimidation, threats and planned acts of violence, and claimed democracy was being undermined. The labour leader, sir keir starmer, said that the Prime Minister was right to condemn unacceptable and intimidatory behaviour. But in describing george galloway� s victory in rochdale as beyond alarming, the Prime Minister also took aim at the uks newest elected mp. Earlier, i spoke tojohn mcternan, who was a labour political strategist from 2005 to 2007 i asked what he thought the Prime Minister was trying to achieve with his speech. I think, sadly, he was trying to turn the issue of division in the country, which is real in our politics, trying to turn that into a campaign issue, what we call on politics a wedge issue, to distinguish himself from the government, from the labour party, and i thought it was a very shallow speech, a very low politics of speech, i think he took a jet, an rafjet from aberdeen to come down to make a content free speech, and it seemed quite contemptuous of the people of rotherham, to be honest. They chose to vote for george galloway, the Conservative Party were crushed, in that by election, so were labour, and to make a speech basically attacking them as dupes,. Sorry, i am going to interrupt you, you meant rochdale, not rotherham, just to be clear. Yes, sorry, rochdale. Let me just divert you there and ask what he should have said . Put rochdale aside and what he had to say about the election. I take your point. What should he have said . It is unquestionable that he is responding to a series of incidents which are serious and concerning. Well, i wish he had named the incidents he was talking about, because he should have apologised for the racism of his own former party deputy chair, lee anderson. He and his cabinet refused to call Lee Andersons comments about sadiq khan what they are racism. You cannot attack division if you do not condemn the division being whipped up by your own party member, your own former mp, suspended mp. I think he should have condemned his own party first. Let us stay on that topic, if we may. What would you do . What would you have said in those circumstances . Put aside lee anderson, because he did respond to that, to be clear, not in a way that satisfies you, but he did respond to it. What would you do . It is unquestionable that many people think we have a problem on our hands. Well, i think it is important for the Prime Minister to actually spell out what he thinks of the problem is with specific incidents. Is his problem people using their right to free speech to demonstrate about the slaughter in gaza . If it is, he should take that argument on. Does he want to gaslight the nation . This is a problem, it is a general gesture towards, we have a problem, you need to give the specificities. Yes, we do have are terrorists in our country, there are far right terrorists, islamist terrorists, and they are under investigation, they are being tracked all time by our Security Services and police force who are really pretty good at disrupting terrorism. They have been doing this for decades, disrupting terrorism and jailing people before they can do and commit horrendous acts. If it was terrorism, the country is behind him, but the idea you can use the word used by lee anderson to attack the democratically elected mayor of london, to use that word islamist and then say that, in some way, that is to do with the demonstrations on the streets of london. But, you would concede, would you, that there has been an increase in anti semitic attacks, you can see that . There has been an increase in anti islamic attacks. Both of these things are problems, but you need to diagnose what is driving it and address how to do it. The end of that speech was, i am going to bring in a robust framework. A what . You flew down from aberdeen in an rafjet paid for by taxpayers to tell us sketchily about a problem you think exists and then give us no idea of what your actual solution is to it . That is the problem, this wavy and airy. And he is trying to say, i am looking at division, we need to solve this, while creating division. That is the contradiction at the heart of this, it is seeking to create a division that wedges the electorate and tries to build support for a unpopular government. Now its time for a look at todays sport with mike bushell. The idea of blue cards being issued in football to send professional players to a sin bin has been binned itself, before its got off the ground. Footballs rule makers gathered in scotland for their annual general meeting, and while its expected, to approve further trial of sin bins at lower levels of the game, the proposal to use a blue card for this is likely to be ditched. Arriving in scotland, the fifa president has now added his voice to all the managers and former players whove criticised the blue cards idea. No, there will not be any blue cards used at elite level, this is a topic that is is nonexistent for us, fifa is completely opposed to blue cards, i was not aware of this topic, and i am the president of fifa, and i think fifa has a say in the ifab, so i do not know if you want the title, it is red card to the blue card, i dont know. Bayern munich could end the weekend 10 points off the top of the bundesliga after dropping points against freiburg. Christian gunter fired the mid table hosts into a lead with a fine 20 yard strike. Bayern thought they had turned it round, with two goals, including mathys tel� s curling effort, but lucas holer struck an 87th minute volley to snatch a point for the hosts. England captain harry kanes dreams of a title then in his first season in germany, seem to be fading and it could spell the end of the munich outfits, decade of total dominance in german football. We have to try and win every game. That is why we are disappointed today. Today we couldnt win. It is not in our hands. All that is in our handsis not in our hands. All that is in our hands is that we can try and Win Every One of our games and then see what happens. But obviously everyone knows it will be difficult, but we wont give up. We know that yurgen klopp will be returning to germany to spend more time with his grandchildren when he leaves liverpool at the end of the season, and they can go 4 points clear today in the race to win the English Premier League title. They will have that advantage for a day, at least, if they can win at Nottingham Forest but even that lead would be fragile, according to the boss. It is only one point above city, and only two it is only one point above city, and only two points above arsenal. But that means nothing. 60 points is a statement that means nothing. 60 points is a statement at this point in the Season Statement at this point in the season. But stay under 60 and im not sure season. But stay under 60 and im not sure we season. But stay under 60 and im not sure we qualify for the champions league, to be honest. We had better champions league, to be honest. We had better keep winning Football Games formula one returns this weekend, and red bulls Max Verstappen has picked up where he left off last year by coming top in qualifying for the season opening bahrain grand prix. The three time defending champion has taken Pole Position for the race, which is taking place on saturday because of ramadan. Verstappen finished ahead of ferraris charles leclerc. Mercedes George Russell was third quickest, but his team mate, lewis hamilton, could only finish ninth fastest. And thats all the sport for now. Unofficial figures from irans parliamentary elections, held on friday, put the turnout at about a0 , which would be the lowest since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Irans rulers had been pressing for high participation to help repair the regimes reputation after nearly two years of protests, sparked by the death in custody of the young woman mahsa amini. The bbc hasnt been allowed to report from iran for five years, but now our correspondent, caroline davies, has been given rare permission. The marks, made. The polls are closed, but the question is how many voted. At a Central Tehran polling station, a celebratory mood. This is one of the Polling Stations where both foreign and local media are directed to come, which means that for some, its also a place that they come to if they want to be seen to be voting. A newly married couple, former ministers and families like mr rohanis, out to cast their votes here. Translation those who dont vote are cutting themselves off from their own fate. They are saying we dont want to decide the future of our country. For me, its not the right choice. Early polling suggested that this could be a record low turnout across iran, but officials are optimistic. Translation the presence of people today proves that all the threats to the country and all the negative propaganda of the foreign media has failed. Still, people have come out. Iran has suggested that failing to vote risks undermining the countrys security, but some have other reasons not to. Shoppers were nervous to speak to foreign media today. One woman agreed, but anonymously. Translation the economy is very bad. Everything has gone very expensive and the salary we get is very low. Even if i vote or not vote, my demands are not solvable. Some analysts think a lost turnout means lost faith. Low turnout means dissatisfaction dissatisfaction on cultural issues, on political issues, on economic issues. I feel that people have lost their interest in politics in general, and this low turnout will be another sign of that too. Final turnout is pending. Todays ballot comes at a sensitive time for iran abroad, as the authorities are counting their popularity at home. Caroline davies, bbc news, tehran. Three people have been injured in a shooting in a busy area of south london full of restaurants and bars. There have been no arrests so far following last nights incident in clapham.

Stay with us here on bbc news. Hello. Its been a cold, and for some of you, a wintry start to the weekend and will stay chilly. Rest of today, though, further sleet and snow still possible in the widespread showers that we see across the country, but more of it will be rain, maybe a little bit of hail and equally more sunshine breaking out later on. Now, what we have at the moment ahead of low pressure, cold air tied in around it. The focus for the heaviest and longest showers have been around this center of that low. Thats where weve seen some sleet and snow today. Thats edging into parts of wales. So were going to see a bit more snow in the hills here, a little bit of snow on the show from the showers elsewhere across england and wales, but increasing amounts of sunshine to the south and east of those will see persistent rain slide across the North East Of Scotland for a time with strengthening winds. But western scotland bright afternoon, Northern Ireland brighter than yesterday for all chilly particularly where its continuing to see that rain, sleet and snow mix, temperatures maybe for some in parts of wales and the north, only around 3 to 5 degrees. Now tonight, the showers continue to be focused mainly now to the north and the west of the country. That means with clearer skies across england and wales, therell be a colder night, more widespread frost and the risk of ice into sunday morning. The centre of our low pressure though is on the move into the morning. It starts across scotland Northern Line before sliding out northwards and westward. So we start with the showers mainly focused across scotland and Northern Ireland on sunday morning. Still wintry over Higher Ground but a more persistent rain pushing across orkney and then later into shetland. But if anything, whilst i still see some showers dotted here and there, mainly of rain and hail, more of it will be dry and bright. That one potential fly in the ointment is more cloudy eastern counties of england and along the coastal strip we could see some rain from a weather Frontjust Grazing as temperatures up a little bit on today, but feeling chilly. Into monday we start with a frost to the north and east, some clear skies. This next weather system, though, will bring strengthening winds and more cloud across the South West Wales and Northern Ireland. Outbreaks of rain developing here, Sunshine Turning Hazy elsewhere as cloud gradually increases. But for more of you, especially in the north and the east, it will be a drier day on monday, even if we still get temperatures at if not a little bit below average for the time of year. The temperatures will lift a little bit further. The rain that we do see should be lighter and patchy.
