We have the special live page up and running with the latest on the aid workers killed in gaza, and will update you on the latest developments on the war. The Israeli Parliament has passed a new law which gives the government temporary powers to prevent the qatar funded News Channel Aljazeera from broadcasting in israel. The Israeli Communications minister, shlomo karhi said the station would be closed down in the coming days. The bill allows foreign News Channels to be shut down if they are deemed to be harming national security. Israel has previously accused aljazeera of promoting hamas. A white house spokesperson, karinejean pierre, said that if the reports on Banning Aljazeera were true, it would be concerning. We believe in the Freedom Of The Press, it is critically important the United States supports the critically important Work Ofjournalists Around The World do. And that includes those who are reporting on the conflict in gaza. So we believe work is important, the Freedom Of The Press is important and, if those reports are true, it is concerning. Lets speak to omar shakir in amman, who is the israel and palestine director of the international Reseach Organisation human rights watch. Could you explain the situation around aljazeera and where they broadcast because i have had interviews today with members of the Israeli Government and they are very much referring to aljazeera in arabic rather than in english, are the allegations they are making just about the network that is broadcast in arabic .

Irrespective, it has been a critical source of Information On Israel palestine four years, Information On Israel palestine fouryears, decades, Information On Israel palestine four years, decades, the primary source of information for people in the arab world and in gaza it has become the primary source of information for the entire community. Given israel has blocked access to gazza foreign journalist for six months, access to gazza foreign journalist forsix months, un access to gazza foreign journalist for six months, un investigators come in Human Rights Investigators fori6 come in Human Rights Investigators for 16 years and they have killed scores ofjournos, an unprecedented number as your previous guest noted, which makes aljazeeras contribution particularly critical here. ~. , contribution particularly critical here. ,. ,. , here.

If information is a threat anything it means terrorists and hamas. If information is a threat anything it means you. Is a threat anything it means you are probably trying to cover up atrocities. The bottom line, that will only seek to cut off information for the world and cover up information for the world and cover up atrocities. The Israeli Government has a track record when it comes to Rights Defenders and others of trying to shut down and muzzle criticism of its Human Rights Record and this is an alarming escalation in that regard. It always happens there is one trial case which sets the precedent and over the years the Israeli Government expands on it. It happened with deportation and denial of entry of human rights activist, blocking access to the un or other organisations. There is a long track record of going after aljazeera, officers bombed in gaza, beaten in the west bank, killed in both. This is part of what they are doing to al jazeera but the precedent is larger to cover up atrocities in gaza. Thank you, omar shakir. In south africa there is rising anger over illegal immigration, and its dominating the political agenda in the run up to next months election. The government claims its tightening security on its border. But the bbc visited the countrys busiest Crossing Post and, close by, witnessed people coming over the border unchallenged. Jenny hill sent this report from the town of musina. It is a freedom of Movement South Africa would rather you didnt see. On its border with zimbabwe, no guards, no barrier, no control. It is supposed to be an official border between two countries but people here tell us it is a five minute walk from the nearest village in zimbabwe, over there, across this dried up river to south africa. There is nothing to stop them. A way in for those seeking a better life, and an easy target too for criminal gangs. Nearby, the remains of an old border fence, no obstacle for smugglers and traffickers. Its a dangerous journey for migrants. The people who make it through the bush to the nearest town of musina share terrible stories. I was thinking about my situation too much. The men who raped her could see she was pregnant. She told us they attacked her with Glass Bottles too. I saw what those men did in front of me. For the undocumented migrants, a life in the shadows. There is no electricity. No one knows how many people have slipped in to the country and plan to stay. This man cannot return to zimbabwe, he says. There is nothing there. We are starving. There is no food. South africa wants to take back control off to defend its borders, new recruits. But even the head of a recently formed Border Authority admits it is going to take time. I can assure you now that the current leadership understands the criticality of this work so we have started to fortify and sanitise the environment and hopefully in the next few years we should succeed. South africas ruling party may not have years. Illicit cross border trade may be flourishing, but this country is not. Its infrastructure is struggling, and an election is coming. Illegal immigration is a big issue for opposition parties. It would be offensive to not even speak about the reality of what it does to our public systems when people do not pay taxes. But they expect to live and benefit from the goods and services that our government provides. Even as south africa prepares, perhaps, to redraw its political map, need, desperation define the limits of the country. Jenny hill, bbc news, musina. Around the world, bbc news.

There played each other for the latest incidents, armenia azerbaijan. Theres been a lot of cloud around today and whilst well see some sunshine in the next few days, there will be some more rain as well. This is the rainfall accumulation. As you can see. Were all going to get some rain through the rest of this week. The wettest weather over the hills in the west and into central southern scotland. It wont be as wet in the far north of scotland, perhaps, but its quite cold here. Temperatures struggling to around six or seven degrees, whereas with some brighter skies in between the showers in england and wales, 14 or 15 is likely. Those showers are going to fade away because weve got this rain coming up from the southwest thats going to head northwards overnight, eventually into southern scotland and northern ireland. Some patchy rain further north in scotland as well. So keeping a lot of cloud overnight should keep the temperatures a bit higher than last night, maybe no lower than ten or 11 degrees in the south. Weve got that rain heading into northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland. Some wet weather for a while here and the rain could be followed by some heavy showers in northern england. The odd shower further south in england and wales where were seeing some sunshine around it as well. These are the temperatures. Theyre not really changing very much, but its still quite cold across many parts of scotland. And thats because weve got this north easterly wind, but its southwesterly winds that will bring wet weather in from the south west. Again, as we head later on into the week, another area of low pressure moving in, bringing some outbreaks of rain on wednesday night, heading away during thursday, we may see things becoming a bit drier and brighter. Hopefully some sunshine around. Not too many showers, but more rain arrives again in the southwest during the afternoon. Those temperatures reaching 14, perhaps 16 degrees in the southeast of england. Still disappointingly chilly in that north easterly wind in scotland. And thats going to be the story through the rest of the week. Further south, the winds are more from the south west, hence the higher temperatures. But weve got all the wet weather coming in from the south west as well. And by friday, theres another area of low pressure, this one taking more of a northerly track. It will take the wetter weather into scotland and northern ireland. And for a while there could be some snow over the scottish mountains before temperatures rise. Weve got a few showers coming into england and wales, Drierfurther East and not quite as windy, but some gales are likely through the irish sea. Temperatures are slowly rising in scotland, higher temperatures in england and wales, but some windy and warm weather for saturday. Today at 1 00, britain calls on israel to explain why seven aid workers were killed in an air strike in gaza. British citizens are among the dead after this aid convoy was attacked, according to the uk government. I am shocked and saddened to hear the reported deaths of aid workers in gaza. We are urgently working to confirm all the details. But my thoughts right now are with their friends and family. Also on the programme this lunchtime. The government rolls out Free Childcare for two year olds in england, but labour say the scheme is in chaos. A 12 year old is arrested in finland after a School Shooting thats left one pupil dead and two others injured. Prices in the shops rise at their slowest rate in two years.
