To pick up those housing costs. But it also represents a personal challenge for an increasing number of older people who are faced with limited options and an ever present uncertainty. I expected that there would be consideration for when i was older, for older people in general. But its not. We seem to be left out of everything and it seems that nobody cares. Theyjust dont care any more. Thats all from us tonight. No time for the papers, im afraid. Kirsty� s here on monday. Till then, have a good weekend. Goodnight. Breaking news from Around The World 2a hours a day, this is bbc news. It would be a violating israels right to defend itself, and enabling hamas to continue to commit crimes. Israel said that if hostages were released, and hamas lay down its arms, then hostilities would cease. I spoke to the former israeli ambassador to the us, michael oren. Ijust want i just want to ask you about the hearing at the International Court ofjustice thats been under way these past two days, south africa seeking a declaration preventing israel from mounting a full skill and vision of rafah. Israel has rejected this case as false and grossly distorted.

Because were dealing with the situation which the vast majority of israelis feel is an extension situation. We have tens of thousands of refugees who cannot return to their homes as long as they think hamas can mount a second attack, and they will. That is what their leaders pledged to do. If the icc. Even if they give Arrest Warrants for our leadership in military, israel will. There really is no choice, this is an exit essential battle, and lets not forget while this battling is going on in the south, hezbollah is pummeling the northern part of the country, killing israeli civilians and soldiers, just 75 rockets fired today, and thats an overly intolerable situation. The entire northern part of the country is uninhabitable. We are fighting a two front war against basically islamic extremist terrorist, and we are committed because we have no choice to winning this war. We committed because we have no choice to winning this war. To winning this war. We will have to leave it there. To winning this war. We will have to leave it there, but to winning this war.

The us military confirmed that a temporary pier built by american troops has been used for the first time to deliver humanitarian aid to gaza. Us Central Command says aid trucks began moving ashore at around 9am local time. The us and uk began building the floating base weeks ago to faciliate hundreds of tonnes of aid to palestinians. A top official at the Un Agency For Palestinians told the bbc he welcomes the aid pier, but its not a long term solution. We welcome all efforts to get more aid flow into the gaza strip, give an adjustment situation is, but when this was set up, it was intended to be lamentably to land routes, it was not supposed to be the solution. We are now in a situation where those crossings, land crossings, have all but closed most of so we welcome it. Ground deliveries to gaza have essentially stopped since Israeli Forces took control of the gaza side of the Rafah Crossing Last week. The un continues to warn that palestinians in the region are on the brink of famine. Doctors say the extreme malnutrition and lack of access to clean water is pushing gazas Health System to near collapse. Al aqsa hospital is one of the last functioning health care facilities, where doctors from Around The World have been volunteering their services. Professor nick maynard, a consultant surgeon, is one of them. Heres part of a video diary he sent the bbc. It was very different to the first trip we had to al aqsa. What we did see were the most appalling effects of the malnutrition that we are seeing in gaza. Severe malnutrition prevents Wound Healing and will prevents Wound Healing and will prevent these patients from recovering from injuries that otherwise they would recover easily from. And you get this vicious cycle where they really rapidly deteriorate in their health they will then die of that if they are not treated. These are often very young people who, under normal circumstances, would recoverfairly circumstances, would recover fairly well from circumstances, would recoverfairly well from operations, but because they have such severe malnutrition, their wounds will not heal properly at all. One of my patients was an 18 Year Old Girl who had significant injuries. Theres no doubt in my mind she would have survived these injuries if she had not been malnourished, and very sadly she died the day we left gaza. For more, i spoke to the pentagons deputy press secretary, sabrina singh. Sabrina singh, Thanks Forjoining us on the programme again. The first aid has arrived in gaza to this us built here, can you tell us the details, how much has arrived, what sort of aid . Sort of aid . Yes, thank you so much for havin sort of aid .

We are still getting those details in those numbers, we hope to have more Releasable Information tomorrow. What i can tell you is exactly what you said, is that we built this temporary peer to serve as a purpose to get more humanitarian aid into gaza, and so for today, earlier, very early hours this morning east coast time, you saw some of those initial trucks rolling off that p, going into gaza to distribute that aid. Well get you those numbers from this for a few days over the weekend, but what we have emphasised here at the department is this is really going to be a crawl, walk, run. You are going to see a small amount of trucks to come off that p to begin with and as the days who on, we are going to increase that capacity. On, we are going to increase that ca aci. , on, we are going to increase that caaci. ,. , on, we are going to increase that caaci. ,. , capacity. Has israel guaranteed it will let in a capacity.

We have income through this way, via dc . Have worked with our is really partners along with us aid and other ngos to ensure that aid can get in and distributed freely and flow frequently into gaza our israeli partners. We dont anticipate we would see any aid routes disrupted of and again we have two de conflicted incel set up, one in israel and one in cyprus, coordinating on the movement of this aid, so aid really should be able to flow into gaza, but i have to emphasise that the is an additive measure. The best way to get humanitarian aid into gaza and to the palace and people are through those land routes and we really want to see those open so aid can really flood the zone into gaza and to the Palestinian People that needed most. Have you had any success recently speaking to the israelis about reopening those routes, those land routes . ,. , reopening those routes, those land routes . ,. , reopening those routes, those land routes . , routes .

The secretary spoke to his counterpart yesterday and this was a topic of conversation. He raised very directly, we have to see more trucks going through this crossings, so we are hardened that some of them have opened but we have to see the aid flow increase every single day. The un has said whether aid comes by sea or by land, it desperately needs fuel, no matter how the aid comes, if they cannot get you, they connected to the people they need it. Have the israeli said to you they will let fyul in . They will let fyul in . They are lettin they will let fyul in . They are letting fuel they will let fyul in .

They are letting fuel in and we believe there is nothing few on the ground to allow the distribution of the aid via these ngo trucks, to go all over to gaza, whether it be the north or south or anywhere else that the people that need it most, we believe that there is enough fuel to distribute that aid and for those trucks to continue to drive off and on, on and off the peer.

The Israeli Defence forces on the ground of course operating within gaza, they have assured us of our security, but of course, look, were going to predict any measures we need to protect our forces. That is something the secretary has a priority on, making sure that our forces are protected so we do have a destroyer in the region in the eastern bed, but again, we should need to use it, as the sole purpose of this temporary pier is to get humanitarian aid in the life saving aid in, to this Palestinian People.

There are going to be no boots on the ground in gaza, and when he came to anchoring that pier, into the beach, we used idf engineers, trained by us army soldiers, engineers, to help anchor that pier. There were no boots on the ground in the process we feel really confident in our Security Position right now. {iii really confident in our Security Position right now.

Of course there would be no risk to position right now. Of course there would be no risk to american i position right now. Of course therel would be no risk to american troops and there would not be all of this expense if the aid could come in through land, if it all could come through land, if it all could come through ashdod and be driven to gaza. Why hasnt the administration been able to convince the israelis to allow aid to come in through their territory . I to allow aid to come in through their territory . Their territory .

I think it is important to take a step l their territory . I think it is i important to take a step back their territory . I think it is important to take a step back and remember that we are in this position because hamas brutally attacked, launched a brutal attack on october seven. The israelis have committed to going after and defeating hamas within gaza, and we are supportive of their efforts to defeat hamas, but of course we have seen a dire humanitarian situation get worse in gaza, and thats why you saw the us military, to help. We have done air drops alongside other nations and of course at the direction of the president , in his state of the union, east mmmaaakkkeee Directed A Human Terran Corridor to be set up. We want more crossings, we want to see that, we are having frank and tough conversations with our counterparts. We want to see those crossings open up we want to see those crossings open up and get more aid in and were doing our part to ensure that aid is getting into other ways and thats through this maritime corridor. Some members of through this maritime corridor. Some members of the through this maritime corridor. Some members of the democratic through this maritime corridor. Some members of the democratic party, including senator kathy manning, on this programme have spoken about the confusion in the messaging with withholding of the delivery of large bombs this weekend and this week approving a 1 billion arms deal.

We paused a shipment of high payload ammunition that we do not feel would be useful or necessary in any type of operation within rafah, in such a densely populated environment. However, we also committed to israels defence and we sing with our partner and ally in the region. Israel is in its fight against a Terrorist Organisation that uses civilians as human shields, that buries itself within tunnels, and as you probably remember and i know as you probably remember and i know as you have covered on your programme, just a few weeks ago, we saw an unprecedented attack by iran towards israel and we came to israels defence of we have to remember the Security Environment that israel is also living in. Israel is also under attack from iran and hamas and hezbollah, and they have erected defend themselves and we will give them the supplies they need to defend themselves, but we have those tough conversations and we are urging them to take great care of the civilian population within rafah, which is what we dont feel that £2000 bombs are necessary in such an area with such a Dexy Populated Community 2000lb. Sabrina singh, deputy press secretary, there. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets look at some stories making news in the uk. A jury at Manchester Crown court has found a teacher guilty of having sex with two schoolboys. 30 year old Rebecca Joynes groomed the youngsters from the age of 15. She was on bail for Sexual Activity with the first child, when she became pregnant by the second. Neither teen must be identified. More than 100 people attended the funeral of a teenager who was killed in a sword attack in east london last month. 14 year old Daniel Anjorin died near his home as he walked to school in hainault. The attack also left four people injured, including two police officers. Pastor tope koleoso, who led daniels funeral service, said it was gentle, peaceful and a celebration of daniels life. The number of confirmed cases of The Bug Cryptosporidiosis in south devon have now more than doubled to 46. The water born parasite causes vomiting and diarrhoea and around 16,000 homes and businesses have been told to boil their water before using it. This morning, the boss of South West Water apologised for the outbreak caused by contamination. Youre live with bbc news. As Russian Forces make advances in ukraine, president Volodymyr Zelensky signed new laws to boost army recruitment. Under zelensky� s new legislation, some prisoners will be allowed tojoin the military. Theyll be released on parole to enlist in the army under special contracts. Certain categories of prisoner including rapists or convicts who have murdered two or more people are not eligible. The new law also raises the penalty for men who ignore the draft. That fine is now 650 dollars. This comes as russia penetrates the border north of kharkiv, ukraines second largest city. President putin said moscow has no current plans to capture kharkiv, as russia is making its biggest terrioritial gains in 18 months. Meanwhile as the war rages in ukraine, the nations children continue to feel the impact. According to the Ukrainian Government, 546 children have died in the war. The un says the number of children killed in 2024 has increased by nearly 40 compared to 2023. And since the war began, 19,546 have been deported or forcibly displaced. One organisation working to support at risk children in ukraine is kidsave, which helps orphans and children reunite with family and find adoptive families. And we can speak with the co founder and ceo of kidsave now, randi thompson. Thanks forjoining us on bbc news. Lets go back to the early days of the russian invasion in ukraine, people were fleeing. But was a situation like for those most vulnerable children, those living in institutions at that time . The Children Institutions at that time . Iie Children Institutions institutions at that time . Iie Children Institutions at institutions at that time . Ii;a Children Institutions at the beginning of the war were actually sent back home to families, so many of the institutions emptied out. And then there were the kids that were most honourable that had a Special Needs that could not leave, so those children were very much at risk but caregiver stayed with them. The other children that we had placed in families, they were as huge risk, because the troops were advancing in their families because the troops were advancing in theirfamilies had because the troops were advancing in their families had to flee their homes. So when my organisation is doing initially is going in and helping people to get out of harms way and after we moved the hundred and 17 kids that we had placed in families, we decided we had to help many more people, so overall we have helped over 30,000 people leave more torn areas. War torn areas. Thea;r torn areas. Wartorn areas. They were still torn areas. Wartorn areas. They were still ongoing, torn areas. Wartorn areas. They were still ongoing, a torn areas. Wartorn areas. They were still ongoing, a fresh torn areas. War torn areas. They were still ongoing, a fresh push from russia in recent days full to what is the situation now . I think the children are experienced a lot of trauma and one of the things we have done is develop abor trauma Therapy Programme and we are training Social Workers and psychologists all over ukraine to help with kids their immediate crisis trauma needs. Kids also need to get a respite from the war, so one of the things were doing this summer is we are bringing in about 50 children to western ukraine, where they will stay at a centre that we are building and we will give them a Trauma Therapy and also at that point for kids that cannot go back home, and or have lost their parents, and more kids lose their parents, and more kids lose their parents every day in this war, we are going to bring ukrainian families to that centre so that they can beat them and hopefully get to know them so they will never have to go back to a shelter. Go back to a shelter. Many children still at risk in go back to a shelter. Many children still at risk in ukraine. Go back to a shelter. Many children still at risk in ukraine. We go back to a shelter. Many children still at risk in ukraine. We have i still at risk in ukraine. We have heard president zelensky put the number at more than 19,000 have been forcibly taken to russia. The International Criminal court has issued an Arrest Warrant for Vladimir Putin for that. Youre working now to support those children and those orphans, to protect them. What needs to be donor what can be done . We protect them. What needs to be donor what can be done . What can be done . We are working to rotect the what can be done . We are working to protect the children what can be done . We are working to protect the children still what can be done . We are working to protect the children still in protect the children still in ukraine so they dont become eligible for deportation by the russian army. Those kids, we have been trying to keep them with family, trying to support their families if they have parents, and if not, we are trying to find them new loving homes in ukraine. Irate if not, we are trying to find them new loving homes in ukraine. We hear a lot in this new loving homes in ukraine. We hear a lot in this country new loving homes in ukraine. We hear a lot in this country in new loving homes in ukraine. We hear a lot in this country in particular a lot in this country in particular about the need for military aid, Military Support for ukraine, but is enough being done on the humanitarian side, notjust by the us by the International Community writ large .

Thats the ageold question. We understand there has to be a great deal of Military Support, but it cannot wait until the wars over to help the children, so, absolutely, there needs to be support from the entire International Community to help the Ukrainian Government to be able to support the children, to be able to provide what they need in terms of basic supplies but also in terms of getting them into a family, because if theyre in an institution, that trauma is going to become even more true medic. find trauma is going to become even more true medic. �. ,. , true medic. And the families that left and were true medic. And the families that left and were split true medic. And the families that left and were split up true medic. And the families that left and were split up and left and were split up and scattered all over europe and further afield, what is it like for those who want to try and come back . What is it like for those who want to try and come back . Many families are cominu to try and come back . Many families are coming back. To try and come back . Many families are coming back. They to try and come back . Many families are coming back. They found to try and come back . Many families are coming back. They found they i are coming back. They found they connected work in another country or they have elderly relatives, and so there are a lot of people coming back. It is very difficult, and so the need for humanitarian aid continues. We have villages that we go to that were often the only group that comes in, and so the key is to get sustainable solutions, instead of just get sustainable solutions, instead ofjust bringing water, want to put Water Filtration systems in, ofjust bringing water, want to put waterfiltration systems in, but those kids are in the committees not getting food and knocking protection, there honestly at risk. Of course, we will leave it there for the moment. Randi thompson, ceo of kidsave, thank you for speaking with us on bbc news. With us on bbc news. Thank you for havin with us on bbc news. Thank you for having me cubans are enduring some of their bleakest Economic Times since the cold war amid worsening inflation, a scarcity of basic goods and the decades long us economic embargo. In an unexpected move, the countrys economy minister, Alejandro Gil fernandez, was arrested in march for corruption. But many think it will take more than one ministerial head to roll to pull cuba from its economic woes. Our correspondent will grant travelled to the heartland of one of cubas most quintessential industries sugar to see how tough the situation has become. Sugar is in cubas dna. In fact, theres a saying on the island, without sugar, theres no country. But this years Sugar Cane Harvest will be one of the poorest on record. Sugar is supposed to be the mainstay of the cuban economy as emblematic to the island as its tobacco, but a series of factors principally the lack of available fuel and years of underinvestment have made cuban sugar an industry in near terminal decline. Theres not enough trucks. And the Fuel Shortages mean sometimes we cant work for days, says miguel guzman. Its a situation made worse by the decades long us sanctions on the island. Still, cuba needs the sugar, he adds. It certainly does, in part for its famous rum. But the problems here arentjust the fault of the us embargo. Theyre also from mismanagement of cubas centralised economy. This 19th century sugar mill in cienfuegos runs on rusting, obsolete technology, and its one ofjust two dozen working mills on the island. Once unthinkable, cuba now imports sugar to meet domestic demand, a far cry from the glory days when cuban sugar was exported to the world. One man who can get his hands on enough sugar is martin nizarane. Part of a new breed of cuban entrepreneur, his business produces yoghurt and ice cream. The production of foodstuffs in private hands is a big change in cuba, yet its been hailed by the cuban president as a model for the future. This is capitalism, pure and simple, no matter how much the businessmen behind it display their revolutionary credentials. Translation the government has never proposed anything i that benefits me economically. It treats me like just another private entrepreneur no special privileges whatsoever. Amid spiralling inflation, cubas government recently imposed a fivefold increase on subsidised fuel at the petrol pumps. Ordinary cubans say theyre suffering more than at any other time since the cold war, and the us election brings no hope of respite from washington, no matter who wins. But cubas problems extend beyond the race for the white house. With its sugar plants barely operational, the islands in danger of losing part of its soul, its once iconic trade now a ghost industry, a mere shadow of its former self. Will grant, bbc news, cienfuegos, cuba. Lets turn to some other Important NewsAround The World.

It was another day of contrasts across the uk on friday, with some of the bluest of the skies, the highest of the temperatures across Northern Scotland 2a celsius in altnaharra. Compare that to just 13, 1a degrees for some north sea facing coasts, plenty of fret and haar lasting for much of the day and a cool onshore breeze, too. Now, there will be more mist and fog forming through the weekend, a weekend of sunny spells and some showers. But there will be plenty of dry weather, with a large area of High Pressure out in the atlantic starting to nose in. Low pressure over the near continent, and thats going to send some Rain Tracking Westwards across Southern England as we head through saturday morning. Otherwise, a dry start to the day. Its mild. Therell be plenty of mist and fog, general murk and some sea fog, too, out towards those north sea coasts. Now, all of that is going to be burnt back by the warm, strong may sunshine. Plenty of that throughout the day, lots of dry weather, too. The rain in the south will gradually clear away, but some heavy, thundery downpours perhaps developing for western areas. More isolated showers further east. Here, it should stay largely dry. And its cloudier and cooler across Northern Ireland and Northern Scotland. Still cool again for those north sea facing coasts, maybe 2a degrees for the central belt of scotland. Otherwise, temperatures just slightly above the seasonal average high teens, low 20s. And all of that mist and murk, Sea Fog Willjust Reform again as we head through Saturday Night into sunday morning, a slightly fresher feel to the morning. And again, that mist and the fog first thing is going to start to burn back with all of the sunshine developing. Again, its quite cloudy, i think, towards parts of Northern Scotland. Some of that mist and fog could gradually sink southwards down towards parts of North East England as we head throughout the day. But there will be a lot of sunshine around, a scattering of showers again, perhaps towards the south of england and again across south west scotland. Once again, its cooler and cloudier for Northern Scotland. Should be some sunny spells developing across Northern Ireland. Monday is looking largely dry for most. Again, some mist and fog, some isolated showers, nut then this area of low pressure is going to start to move in from but then this area of low pressure is going to start to move in from the near continent as we head through tuesday and wednesday. So through the middle parts of next week, it could turn rather unsettled and a little cooler again, but temperatures building again perhaps by the end of the week. The importance of terminology in reporting on the conflict in the middle east. Welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. Coming up is it time bbc news started calling hamas a Terrorist Organisation . And Information Overload is there just too much going on on the screen here . Criticisms of the medias coverage of the war in gaza started almost immediately after the hamas attack on israel on october 7th and top of the list of objections to the bbc� s reporting was the corporations refusal to describe hamas as a Terrorist Organisation. The issue was raised again last weekend in the wake of a video released by hamas showing the british israeli hostage nadav popplewell, who the group said had died in gaza. Heres the foreign secretary, lord cameron, speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg
