Ceasefire talks in cairo. The good news is that they are happening and that five nations, orfive parties, are at least all there in cairo. So thats hamas, israel, the us, qatar and egypt. The not so good news is that israel has only sent a fairly low level team theyre not there to negotiate, theyre there to study what hope there is of trying to bridge the gap between what is acceptable to israel and what is acceptable to hamas, and that gap is still pretty wide. The main Sticking Point, as my colleague yolande referred to there, is over how this ends. So the fundamentals of the deal are largely intact, theyre largely agreed. They can agree this that it will start with a 42 day period of calm, a truce essentially, during which hamas will give up 33 hostages. Theres a bit of dispute about whether they would be alive or dead, but 33 hostages. In return, a much larger number of Palestinians Prisoners would be released from israeli jails and palestinians who had been moved south into rafah would be allowed to return to whats left of their homes in the north of the gaza strip, in gaza city. But the Sticking Point is that hamas want a permanent cessation of hostilities at the end of that. Now israel, this Israeli Government, does not want to sign up to something that leaves hamas intact because its view is that if they do that, hamas will simply reconstitute itself and attack them again as they did on october 7th and indeed they warned they would like to do exactly that. So there is enormous pressure on the Israeli Government from both the us, from countries in the region, and very much particularly from domestically, from relatives of the hostages, who are desperate to get their loved ones out of captivity before its too late, before they are killed in israeli air strikes or by their captors, one way or another. They want them out and they want a deal now. They have a phrase in hebrew which means deal now. But so far, the Israeli Government is hanging tough on this and i would say that its a form of brinkmanship because while the talks are going on in cairo, they are hammering hamas in Eastern Rafah and there is a risk that they hit hamas so hard that far from driving it towards a deal, it stops a deal altogether. And, frank, what is the Aid Situation . We understand that the Kerem Shalom Crossing has reopened for aid. Has any got through . Yes, theres a kind of disconnect, id say, between the israeli version and the un version. So the un, specifically unrwa, that is the United Nations relief and works agency, the last time we checked with them, they said nothings getting through. Israel said no, no, its open, its functioning. But the problem is there is fighting on the gazan side of that border crossing. I think while that fighting rages, Israeli Forces are engaged in combat with hamas fighters, there is combat happening there, it will be quite hard for that aid to get through there. Meanwhile, the other Big Crossing Point At Rafah is now under Israeli Military control, no longer under palestinian control thats the crossing point with egypt. So the two main arteries for getting aid into Southern Gaza are, lets just say, compromised. One of them is definitely shut, the other one is possibly still shut. Youve got Erez Crossing in the north but thats not enough to get the sufficient aid through that gazans need in order to feed their daily needs. Lets speak tojerome drevon, a Senior Analyst onjihad in modern conflict in International Crisis group. Welcome to you and thank you for being with us stopped as we heard from our security correspondent, hamas want a permanent end to hostilities. Given that israel is committed to their destruction following their October The 7th attack on israel, where do you think they could negotiate, what do you think hamas might be willing to agree to . I think hamas might be willing to aaree to . ~. , think hamas might be willing to aaree to . ~. ,. , agree to . I think that the terms of the ceasefire agree to . I think that the terms of the ceasefire have agree to . I think that the terms of the ceasefire have been agree to . I think that the terms of the ceasefire have been clear agree to . I think that the terms of the ceasefire have been clear for l agree to . I think that the terms of the ceasefire have been clear for a number of months. I think the main debate is about the practicalities. For hamas, they cannot agree about any deal without a permanent ceasefire. They cannot offer a temporary solution and the release of all the hostages without an end to the conflict. That would mean war would start again and hamas would have no card for this. Hamas cannot consider that, that is a clear red line for the group. Consider that, that is a clear red line for the group. Hamas is split between a line for the group. Hamas is split between a political line for the group. Hamas is split between a political and line for the group. Hamas is split between a political and military l between a political and military wing with separate leaders, who is determined what they are willing to sign up to in the Ceasefire Deal . I think the Ceasefire Deal will have to be signed by both of the leadership in doha, but also the leadership in doha, but also the leaders inside. I think throughout the history of hamas, there has occasionally been tensions but ultimately, they have managed to maintain its cohesion. So although there might be some differences of interpretation within the group, they will still be united. The group still manages to have one voice in those negotiations. So i dont think the group would split along those lines of the ceasefire agreement. Are they united, given that if they want to survive and israel is determined that that shouldnt happen, would they, do you think, consider surviving as a political wing and laying down their arms . Thats a major question because the political leaders have said for the past few weeks that they could accept a solution in which they lay down their weapons and they become just a mainstream political party. So the prospect for the long run, would the militants inside gaza agree to such a solution . Also, to begin with, would a solution be possible . With the International Community provide guarantees to the palestinians they would be safe and there would be no more confrontation with the israelis . That there would be no more confrontation with the israelis . With the israelis . That is very hard as well. With the israelis . That is very hard as well they with the israelis . That is very hard as well. They are with the israelis . That is very hard as well. They are a with the israelis . That is very hard as well. They are a designated as well. They are a designated Terrorist Organisation by the us, the uk and many other countries around the world. The us is at the table and crucial in these negotiations, as indeed the qataris. How much influence to all of these other countries bring to bear on hamas . ~. , other countries bring to bear on hamas . M,. , other countries bring to bear on hamas . ~. ,. , , hamas .

Most of the countries with the real influence are mostly the l the real influence are mostly the qataris and egyptians, the turks to some extent. But i think that hamas has shown they would be willing to sign a deal and that also that was proven a few days ago. The main question is not necessarily what type of countries could pressure hamas but would the us and the Us Administration pressure the israelis into accepting a deal . That has not proven to be true in the last few months. ~. , proven to be true in the last few months. ~. , , months. What about support within gaza . Six months months.

Six months into this war, with Tens Of Thousands dead, most of those civilians, or at least that is what hamas are saying, a desperate humanitarian situation in gaza. There have not been free and Fair Elections in gaza for more than 15 years. Is it possible to say at this point how much support there is remaining in gaza for hamas . It is very difficult remaining in gaza for hamas . It is very difficult to remaining in gaza for hamas . It 3 very difficult to say. From what we hear, it seems the division exists in the palestinian population. A big part of the palestinian population blames the israelis for the range of destruction and the International Community for preventing the israelis to commit those. But there are questions about the hamas leadership, that they launched a war. So it will be challenging for hamas as well, how to rebuild those ties with the population. Ties with the population.

Energy providers in ukraine are warning there could be Power Shutdowns across the country after russia carried out another huge drone and missile attack. Transport and Energy Infrastructure were targeted, and at least three thermal power plants were seriously damaged. Ukraine says its air Defence Forces downed dozens of russian missiles and drones overnight. The kyiv region was among those hit two people were wounded in that strike. Our team at bbc verify has been looking at the latest images from ukraine. Heres olga robinson. This is an image posted earlier by president zelensky of what appears to be the aftermath of a strike on a Ukrainian Energy facility. We do not know where this photo was taken but we can see services at the scene. Ukraine says this was a Massive Attack across all of these regions here you can see on the map, with 55 missiles and 21 drones launched by russia overnight. The air force says most of them were shut down but one major private Energy Company said three of its thermal power plants were hit. They did not specify the extent of the damage. Russia has launched waves of strikes on ukraines Energy Infrastructure this spring and this map shows attacks that we have verified in blue here on the map and reported attacks here in red, that are based on media reporting. These attacks are across ia different regions of ukraine and some of these locations have been targeted multiple times. Heres a picture we verified earlier of significant damage at a major thermal power plant in the kharkiv region, in northern ukraine, following a russian strike in march. The Ukrainian Energy company said at the time that it was completely destroyed as a result of russian shelling. In total, we verified damage at 12 facilities this spring and in some cases, damage is visible on Satellite Imagery long after the attack happened. Here is an image from late april of another thermal power plant in a different region that was also hit in march. As you can see here, well over a month after the attack, the damage to the roof is still visible on Satellite Imagery. Russia has carried out frequent and widespread attack on ukraines Power Infrastructure since the beginning of its full scale invasion in 2022. But this brings a change in tactics. Russia is now aiming at bigger infrastructure targets, such as power plants, which are harder to repair and one Ukrainian Energy expert i spoke to said the russians, the goal of the russians is obvious, to plunge ukraine into darkness, undermining its defence capabilities. Now a national Energy Company says power cuts are possible throughout ukraine as early as this evening. Prince harry is in the uk to celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary of his Invictus Games hes due to attend a thanksgiving service at st pauls cathedral in london later today.

In fact, nigeria is one of the most recent and after the service, prince harry and meghan will be going to nigeria to talk about how the Invictus Games will fit in there, over the next few days. Prince harry, as we were mentioning, he is coming here but he is not going to meet at the king, his father, who as we know it is being treated for cancer at the moment. From prince harrys team, nothing from buckingham palace, but when asked about why not meeting the king, they said the duke of course is understanding of his fathers diary, commitments and other priorities and does hope to see him soon. Hopefully that meeting will take place but it wont be this time, this visit. Back to you. Sarah, thank you.

Applause applause applause a few short comments and questions Tojohn Swinney their from the waiting media. Kate forbes by his side. They acknowledged they are now leading a minority government. Kate forbes said she will Supportjohn Swinney in government and cabinet to find areas of consensus. John swinney saying this will be a government for all. He earlier said that, described kate forbes as an immensely talented politician and she in turn said this was a moment of extraordinarily, extraordinary privilege. She is back in the cabinet as the youngest ever Deputy First Minister. She will take on the Economy Portfolio. Of course, john swinney has said the economy will be at the heart of his priorities for government going forward, as will eradicating child poverty. An issue he said on which Real Progress had been made through measures such as the scottish child payment. But he is definitely centring the economy going forward, in terms of delivering, supporting the delivery of services, such as health, education, housing and transport. Also interestingly in his comments after appointing that cabinet, mentioning independence. Of course, the snp is a party that wants scotland to be an independent country. He said he recognises more people need to be convinced of that before independence can be achieved. My before independence can be achieved. My cabinet, he said, will focus on efforts to reach out to those who remain unconvinced, with respect and courtesy, to ensure that the people of scotland have the democratic right to choose their own future. So underlining that this is a party that wants independence for scotland, but acknowledging he will have a fight on his hands and of course Opposition Parties in scotland will see opportunity there, in terms of tackling him both on the smps in terms of tackling him both on the smp� s record in government and in pushing that need, that request for independence forward, that the snp wants scotland to see. Wants scotland to see. Thank you, lorna gordon. There have been dramatic developments in uk politics and for the prime minister, rishi sunak as one of his own mps, Natalie Elphicke, announced that she was defecting from the Conservative Party tojoin labour. This is the moment Natalie Elphicke crossed the floor in the house of commons, you can see her approaching the benches on the right hand side before taking her seat behind the labour leader, sir keir starmer. She said her former party has become a byword for incompetence and division and criticised what she called the broken promises of rishi sunak� s tired and chaotic government. Live to westminster and our political correspondent, leila nathoo. So take us through what is happening then how significant it is for the government. It then how significant it is for the government. Then how significant it is for the government. ,. ,. , government. It suddenly came as a shock but there government. It suddenly came as a shock but there was government. It suddenly came as a shock but there was a government. It suddenly came as a shock but there was a defection government. It suddenly came as a| shock but there was a defection just less than two weeks ago, dan poulter chose to leave the Conservative Party and join labour over the tories record on the nhs. I have to say, i dont think at Natalie Elphicke was top of anybody� s list when we considered who might follow him. It certainly came totally Out Of The Blue today, designed to cause maximum impact by releasing her statementjust before prime ministers questions and then you had that very visual image of her sitting behind sir keir starmer on the labour benches. Here is Natalie Elphicke talking about her decision. In 2019, the conservative stood on a manifesto that was very much Centre Ground, but under rishi sunak, theyve abandoned the Centre Ground and broken many election promises. Meanwhile, under keir starmer, labour have changed and i think that change is going to bring a much Better Future for our country and thats why i was so keen tojoin the labour party and play my part in bringing that important future forward. Tory mps i have been speaking to today here in parliament seem pretty shocked and staggered by the defection, they wouldnt have placed the Natalie Elphicke in the labour party at all and they think it is pretty incredulous she has done that. I think said to me for labour, this will be a huge political victory for them, adding to their sense of momentum they have behind them from very strong local election results. There may be some in the labour party who are slightly uneasy about her past views that were expressed by Natalie Elphicke, critical of their policy on immigration but she says it is the conservatives policy and borders that has prompted her to go. 0k, thank you.

Its been another pretty decent day up and down the country but Weather Fronts have brought some rain to the north and West Of Scotland, more of a breeze here, as well. Thats what we will see into tomorrow, though much of the country should continue to stay dry and settled. For the rest of the week, well continue with these Early Morning mist and fog patches which could be quite dense but very quickly the strong may sunshine will burn it away and most places will see sunshine throughout the afternoon. So the rain continues to splash into the north and West Of Scotland through the overnight period. It will tend to become more confined to the north of scotland by the end of the night. Much of northern ireland, england and wales will be largely dry. Theres a few clear spells around but also some patchy cloud, low cloud, at that, some mist and fog developing too. Those temperatures, 8 11 degrees. So this is the picture for thursday, High Pressure sitting pretty much on top of the uk. This Weather Front continues to push northwards to bring more rain to Northern Scotland but once again, tomorrow morning we could see some dense mist and fog patches first thing. But very quickly, the strong may sunshine will melt it away, we should start to see widespread sunshine for england and wales, northern ireland, central and southern scotland. It looks like the rain will become confined to the far North Highlands and the Northern Isles through the day, so turning drier there. Could see up to 20 degrees or so in central and southern scotland, 19 or 20 for belfast, 22 or 23 in the warmer spots for england and wales. As we move through thursday night, it looks like it will stay dry once again. Light winds, a bit of mist and fog developing here and there. Still a few spits and spots of rain for the north of scotland as that Weather Front loiters around. It could be a little milder as well to start friday, 9 12 degrees. Friday, anotherfine looking day, plenty of sunshine around. A bit more cloud across scotland but even here, it should be dry, including the north of scotland. Light southerly breezes, those temperatures reaching the mid 20s for the warmest spots in england and wales, up to 21 degrees for the central belt of scotland, 20 there for belfast. High pressure continues to bring fine weather into the weekend but as it pulls away to the east, it starts to allow low pressure and Weather Fronts to gang up on us from the south and from the west, so it will start to turn more unsettled gradually. Could see some heavy showers across scotland on saturday, warm and sunny elsewhere. It could be very warm in the south on sunday increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms, though, later on sunday. A rough ride for uber.
