People were discovered in a wealthy suburb on monday. We have this report. The grisly aftermath of a gang rampage. Following a morning killing spree, in which the home of a judge was also attacked, at least a dozen bodies were left on the streets of a neighbourhood in port au prince. And this is supposedly the safe part of town. The latest violence serves as a reminder, if any were needed, that haiti remains closer to anarchy than stability, and that makes it almost impossible for so many here to lead anything that resembles their normal lives amid the chaos. Just a day old, baby woodley� s first cries are the same as those of children born anywhere for food and for comfort. But as they get older, the children born in cap haitien� s maternity wing will find such essentials are farfrom guaranteed in haiti. This woman tells me she would take her newborn boy out of the country altogether if she gets the chance, but she doesnt have the money to flee. As he shows us around dark and empty wards, dr clervil says the gangs� control of the roads is making it impossible to find enough fuel to keep the lights on, let alone to bring in the drugs and equipment they need. Translation as you can see, we have beds and staff, but often the patients just cant reach us because of their Economic Situation or, more often than not, their safety. For some, it has had terrible consequences. This woman was eight and a half months pregnant when she came into hospital. By then, she had dangerously high Blood Pressure and lost the baby. Pre eclampsia is treatable had she been properly monitored or the baby been delivered early. She knows her loss was avoidable. The head of unicef has called the situation in haiti horrific and likened the lawlessness to the post apocalyptic film mad max. The security situation aside, the humanitarian need here is critical and the aid response so far has been painfully slow. The essential things of life are increasingly hard to find. In port au prince, this woman and her nine children have been forced from their home by the violence and shes struggling to provide the food water they need. Only god can change this place, she says, because from where im sitting, i cant see where any other change is coming from. The gangs have such a grip of haiti, they are, in essence, dictating what happens next in this country who can govern it, who lives in it, and who dies. The us spokesperson said a transition may be in place in haiti but in washington there has been no progress. It is has been no progress. It is almost a has been no progress. It is almost a week, has been no progress. It is almost a week, or has been no progress. It is almost a week, or even i has been no progress. It 3 almost a week, or even over a week since the Us State Department said they thought i cancelled be in place in maybe 48 hours. It is still ambitious to expect it in the short term. We are here and it is in the thing but one must think, what will it be able to achieve . In the violence we saw in the capital city, there was also an attack on a judges house and thatis attack on a judges house and that is a clear message being delivered that the political elites who would be making the efforts to work out who would be in power, the gangs are telling them, we are not sure we want any of you and we are not prepared to stop fighting unless we get some sort of administration we agree with, that would potentially give them an amnesty. President biden held them an amnesty. President biden held his them an amnesty. President biden held his first them an amnesty. President biden held his first phone i them an amnesty. President l biden held his first phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu in more than a month. Washington described conversation as businesslike, amid deepening rift between the leaders on the war in gaza. It was said present stressed the need to get a mockumentary and aid into gaza. He is also said to have concerned deep raised the concerns over the city of raphael. The key goals can be done by other means. President biden asked done by other means.

President biden asked the Prime Minister| biden asked the Prime Minister to send a team composed of Military Intelligence and humanitarian officials to washington in the coming days to hear us concerns about israels current plan and lay out an alternative approach that will target key hamas places in rafah about a major ground invasion. Places in rafah about a maor ground invasion. I places in rafah about a maor ground invasion. Josep borrell said Israel Ground invasion. Josep borrell said israel are ground invasion. Josep borrell said israel are using said israel are using starvation as a weapon of war. Around half the population in gaza are experiencing catastrophic food shortages. Israel has denied they are hampering the delivery of aid. Overnight they paraded the largest hospital in gaza for the fourth time. They invaded. Sheer desperation in gaza city today and the tiny window of hope. This crush is to get a few kilograms of flour. Most dont manage it. There is nothing to eat or drink, she says. Children are dying. There are massacres when planes drop aid and people die. The eu says israel is provoking famine and has turned gaza into a killing ground. Gaza was before the war, the greatest open air prison. Today, its the greatest open air graveyard. A graveyard for Tens Of Thousands of people. And in that graveyard today, another round of battle this time at al shifa, gazas largest hospital. Teaming with the wounded in these recent pictures and home to many seeking shelter. Now the israeli army is back again, hunting hamas, it says. Soldiers shot their way in overnight, claiming they came under fire. Doctors told the bbc three patients died because the electricity was cut off. The idf is cutting off an operation in the hospital, winner senior Hamas Terrorists have regrouped in the hospital and are using it to command attacks against israel. The army has attacks against israel. The army has been attacks against israel. The army has been here attacks against israel. The army has been here before. This was last november. Showing tunnels under al shifa and facing widespread condemnation for rating a hospital. Now its back again for a fourth time hardly a sign of victory. And again, warweary families forced to flee the area around al shifa. This young boy says, we were sleeping when they started bombing. They shelled our home and were shooting. Afterwards they let us out, they undress they let us out, they undress the men and took them to the tanks. In gaza now, no escape from bombs orfrom hunger. Before the eyes of the world, famine is closing in. Orla guerin, bbc news, jerusalem. For more on the humanitarian situation in gaza, i spoke to a Policy Adviser at oxfam.

The causes delay and adds additional costs on organisations like oxfam when needing to respond. And the crossings, there are seven into gaza, only two still remain open. There has been a pilot test of another being not all roads are being explored. There is no local economy in gaza. They used to be traders and private sectors and entrepreneurs that would bring working, there are no commercial route allowed into gaza so these businessmen have been not trading and not able to work. They cannot supply through the gaza strip as they used to. There are also restrictions on the number humanitarian workers, and the number of trucks coming in, hundreds of trucks are currently waiting at the border trying to get in.

From oxfams perspective, we havent encountered that and we have been working on the ground for more than 50 years incarceration that has not been our experience. And that has not been. We have always worked with the un and they have been a co ordinating body work through to get aid in. We would usually use commercial Supply Routes and some of those which remain closed since the 6th of october. There have been attacked and humanitarian convoys and workers and humanitarian workers have been killed at an unprecedented rate in the last five months in gaza.

The rest denounced russias elections is neither free nor fair after russias elections is neither free norfair after Vladimir Putin secured a fifth term on monday without any serious challenges. He addressed supporters in moscow, he has another six year term in office, the crown says he won more than 87 of the vote but there was no opposition with critics either in jail or dead. The kremlin says. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin after the landslide came the love. Vladimir putin portrayed by the kremlin as a national hero. At a concert marking ten years since russia annexed crimea. Long live russia, he cried. Cue the national anthem, and some kremlin choreography to make it look as if putin is russia and russia is putin. Earlier, we saw the crowds pouring towards red square. Thousands of russians had been given free tickets for the putin event. After all, a president who claims to have won 87 of the vote needs a decent audience. Western leaders have dismissed russias president ial vote as Neitherfree Norfair a stage managed election. But the kremlin couldnt care less what the west thinks, it paints a picture of a president who enjoys the overwhelming support of his people. Down at the Russian Election commission, theyd counted all the votes and they presented all their figures. So, its six more years of president putin. But what does that mean for russia and for the world . It doesnt mean anything good for russia, for ukraine, for the world, because putin will continue this permanent war. Putin will continue to suppress Civil Society inside his country. And in that sense, he becomes a full blooded autocrat dictator. And yet the Direction Of Travel for russia under Vladimir Putin is already clear. More confrontation abroad and repression at home. Few here seem to believe that this election will bring a significant change. If its the same president , katya says, then i dont think anything will be different.

Thank you for watching and stay with us on bbc news. Hello. Where the sun has put in an appearance over the last couple of days, we have felt some spring warmth. Certainly, it has been a mild start to the week, but there is a change on the way. It will turn colder later in the week, and between now and then we have some spells of wind and rain to contend with the wettest and windiest weather towards the north and the west of the uk. This chart shows the rainfall we are expecting to accumulate through the course of this week. You can see the green colours just showing up there in Western Scotland indicating more than 50 millimetres of rain, and there is a bit of rain to take us through the first part of tuesday along the line of this weather front. Notice this front wriggles back out into the atlantic another pulse of rain to come through tuesday night and into wednesday. But in the short term, the first piece of that weatherfront, if you like, lingering across parts of southeast england, some clouds, some spots of rain, and then that next pulse of wet weather pushes in across the southwest of england later on. But elsewhere, early cloud will break up to give some spells of sunshine, just the Odd Rogue Shower and feeling very mild, even warm with highs of 17 celsius. But through tuesday night, here comes the rain pushing its way northwards and eastwards. We might hold on to something a little bit drier and clearer towards the South East Corner and certainly up towards the northwest of scotland, where it will be cold to start wednesday morning. Could even be some fog patches here, but mild further south and east. And for many, quite a soggy starts to wednesday. These outbreaks of rain just moving northwards and eastwards as the day wears on. I think the skies will tend to brighten in many places. We will see some spells of sunshine developing, particularly towards the southeast of england, where it will feel very warm indeed at 17 celsius, but also for Northern Ireland and Western Scotland. Here, though, a somewhat chillier feel to the weather. Briefly, a ridge of High Pressure will build, but that wont last long. We see this next Weather System bringing wet and windy weather, particularly across the north of the uk during thursday. And as that clears for friday and into the weekend, well, the winds change direction and start to come down from the north, and that will make it feel significantly colder. Temperatures on the thermometer lower than they have been, could even see some wintry showers over Higher Ground in the north. But factor in the strength of the wind, the wind chill is going to make it feel really very cold indeed. And those chillier conditions extend all the way south across the uk for the weekend. This is bbc news. Well have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. Welcome to hardtalk. Im stephen sackur. Wherever there is war, there is human suffering. In gaza, israels relentless Military Offensive triggered by that murderous hamas attack of last october the 7th, has killed more than 31,000 people and left 2 million in urgent need of food, water and shelter. There are other wars, other humanitarian emergencies also crying out for an International Response from ukraine to sudan, ethiopia and beyond. My guest is jan egeland, secretary general of the norwegian refugee council. Are aid agencies overwhelmed in a world seemingly incapable of protecting the vulnerable . Jan egeland, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you. Youve been in the j humanitarian and aid business
