Of plotting an explosion and being in contact with the russian intelligence service. One of them had been photographing potential Military Targets in germany, including us Military Facilities which assist ukraine. The arrests came as ukraines Prime Minister warned the bbc there will be a � third world war� if ukraine loses its conflict with russia. G7 Foreign Ministers are meeting now on the italian island of capri to discuss ukraines urgent appeal for more air defence support and how to use frozen russian assets to assist kyiv. Lets cross live now to our security correspondent, gordon corera. Tells more about what the authorities are saying about the plot, the details, the target . Potentially a significant series of arrests by German Authorities yesterday. They are certainly suggesting that today, with prosecutors arresting two men, one of those it appears had been spending some time carrying out reconnaissance of Military Facilities. The second man is thought to have assisted him, and then in turn they are thought to have been in contact with another person linked to russian intelligence services. Some details are emerging about what they may have been looking at, these are Military Facilities inside germany, but at the suggestion is that this was notjust spying, just collecting intelligence, that is something that happens normally, but that they were considering, particularly that one individual, sabotage. Carrying out some sort of explosion or fire at one of those facilities. I think thatis one of those facilities. I think that is what makes this particularly different from the run of the mill Espionage Cases which we have seen many of in recent years including in germany. Many of in recent years including in german. ,. ,. , germany. Gordon, tell me more about the military facility, germany. Gordon, tell me more about the military facility, why germany.

Well, it is clear that they | seem to have looked at a number of facilities, so it is not certain whether they had picked one particular facility to target. Some of the suggestions are that these could be facilities linked to ukraine and to german support for ukraine, including us Military Facilities where there is training on tanks which are going into ukraine where ukrainian soldiers might be trained. Another possibility is the Supply Routes are the depots where material might be shipped out to ukraine. Again, i think this is significant. We have seen some evidence in the past of russian intelligence carrying out kinds of Sabotage Activities in the past. There are reports that Russian Military intelligence blew up an arms depot in the Czech Republic about a decade ago, but carrying out Something Like this in germany would certainly be significant. The suggestion is it is all part of attempts to undermine european support for the effort of ukraine in fighting russia. Support for the effort of ukraine in fighting russia.

Ukraines Prime Minister is in washington to urge the us congress to pass a long stalled foreign aid bill which include 61 billion earmarked for kyiv. The House Of Representatives is set to vote on the package this saturday. In an interview in washington, ukraines Prime Minister told my colleague Sumi Somas Kanda about the risks of a russian victory in ukraine. The Global System of security will be destroyed at all, and all the world will need to find and will need to look in for a new system of security. Or there will be many conflicts, many such kinds of wars. And in the end of the day, it could lead to the third world war. So our mutual task is to protect democratic values, to protect existing after the second world war, Global System, secure Global Security system. And bring long term and sustainable peace on european continent. So russia must lose this war and aggressors should be punished, and putins regime should be destroyed at all. And only this factors will lead us to the sustainable and long term peace. I just want to follow up on that, Prime Minister, we saw a republican, congressman mccall, say last week that he thinks that russian propaganda has infected, thats the word that he used, some members of his party and that they are essentially repeating that propaganda. What do you think of that . We shouldnt forget that russia is leading war with ukraine on the ground, but russia is leading war with the civilized world, with west countries in the multidimensional spaces, in cyberspace, in propaganda and disinformation space. So there in ukraine, we have war in the water, on the water, on the ground, in the sky. So all of this now bring us to this to this obstacles when we should understand that disinformation and propaganda is influencing here in the United States on many people in the european union, on many people such as in ukraine. So we should count on this and we should make our work. We should fight against of this absolutely unprovoked, illegal aggression of russia in ukraine. Ukraines prime an estate talking to the bbc.

Tt2 reason why they are blocking it, the reason why they are blocking it, the reason why they are blocking it, the reason why they are separating the aid votes, is because there is a different coalition of lawmakers that will support aid for israel and ukraine. So they will put up the aid for ukraine, you will see a lot of the democrats supporting that, more than you would see for israel where some democrats are worried that the country does not need more military aid, they have called for ceasefires, they are upset about the war. You will probably see more Republicans Arejoining war. You will probably see more republicans are joining on war.

Johnson almost seemed like he had come to peace yesterday. He said he was ready to do the right thing, that he would let the chips fall where they may. He seemed to realise that this is important and that republicans are fuelled by the attack from iran on israel, they want to get israel done, they want is to be the way. They are talking about changing the rules for House Republicans to help them keep their job, he seems to have found peace and knows that he is doing this under the threat of his job and that amy lose hisjob but he thinks under the threat of his job and that amy lose his job but he thinks this is the right thing to do.

We will watch and see if there are any developments. Dubai International Airport is working hard to restore operations after record rains pounded the United Arab Emirates and neighbouring gulf countries in recent days. One of the worlds busiest hubs has seen some inbound flights after hundreds of delays and cancellations, but staff have struggled to get food to stranded passengers crowding the facility. Across the uae, where one person was killed, the authorities are working to clear swamped streets of submerged vehicles and to restore disrupted services. Flash floods also killed twenty people in oman. Lets speak to sarah forster, a news editor with the national, a news outlet based in the uae. Thank you for being here on the programme. Give me an idea of what it has been like there over the last 72 hours. ~ it has been like there over the last 72hours. ~ ,. , it has been like there over the last 72hours. ,. , 72 hours.

Well, i can speak to my i experience because i was one of the passengers returning to the uae just after the worst of the storm was over. Obviously i had friends and family here who did have to go through it and they were having to bail their balconies out with water, water tends to flood into houses and that sort of thing. But for me personally, i landed about two hours late after circling in the hold, just as the airport reopened, and we then had an hour waiting for a stand before we could be let off the aeroplane. Quite honestly, getting through the airport was a bit of a breeze because there were no other passengers, we were one of the first to land so getting it through immigration and getting the bags was absolutely fine. My trouble started immediately after leaving the airport because there were no taxis, no metro, the road and transport authority here were putting on buses to nearby metro stations, but the metro had limited service. So for me it was only the kindness of friends and family that came to pick me up and family that came to pick me up and take me home, that is the only way i manage to get in. Otherwise there were many people sleeping in metro stations and just waiting for normal service to resume so that they could get home. The pictures are astonishing, they could get home. The pictures are astonishing, as they could get home. The pictures are astonishing, as you they could get home. The pictures are astonishing, as you are they could get home. The pictures| are astonishing, as you are talking we are playing some of them. The streets, it is an incredible sight to see the levels of floodwater, what it has done to vehicles, and all of the damage. Talk to me about the speed of it, because i assume that you have seen nothing like this and this sort of way ever before. Well, this was, the phrase that is going around is that this was and am pretty dated amount of rainfall. This was a bad one and a half years worth of rain which fell in 2a hours and the stomach and for even longer than that. It is something that the country tried to brace itself but i dont think any nation in the world could deal with one and a half years worth of rain in one day. There was a significant amount of damage done, however, swiftly the water pumps were out on the road, the police were redirecting people. Even the kindness of strangers, i know in my community where i live some of the Security Guards and other workers were still key and could not get home and people were putting together clean clothes and food and water for them. Just to see them through. It is beautifully sunny and cloudy free sky, both yesterday and today, however, many of the rods are still flooded. So people need to take care out there. It is unprecedented, however we have now had two very serious storms in the space of two months, which as you can imagine is very unusualfor the uae. I remember my own parents moved to the uae 14 years ago and they used to tell me that it rained a handful of days a year. My dad likes to tell a story that it took him three years to find out that his Windscreen Wipers were set to automatic because he had never driven in the rain before and it took three years for rain to come. Suddenly theyjust took three years for rain to come. Suddenly they just turned on. Took three years for rain to come. Suddenly theyjust turned on. You can see the climate in this part of the world is changing and the government are going to have to start responding to that. 5am start responding to that. Sara foster, start responding to that. Sara foster. We start responding to that. Sara foster, we would start responding to that. Sara foster, we would talk start responding to that. Sara foster, we would talk longer but we have a news update to go to. We will leave it there, but thank you so much forjoining us on the programme. Iam going much forjoining us on the programme. I am going to take you to the un where the Secretary General is talking in the last few moments. He has been saying this is a moment of maximum peril in the middle east, it must be a time for maximum restraint. Obviously referencing israel and iran. Tar restraint. Obviously referencing israel and iran. Israel and iran. For example, although israel and iran. For example, although the israel and iran. For example, although the israeli israel and iran. For example, l although the israeli authorities have cleared more convoys, those clearances are often granted when it is too late in the day to make deliveries and return safely. One could say that our personnel cannot operate in darkness, in a war zone, littered with unexploded ordinance. So the impact is limited, sometimes new, the clearances increased but there are continued obstacles to aid for people who are in desperate need. During the week of six to 12th of april, israel denied more than 40 of un requests that required passing through israeli checkpoints. We urgently need the meaningful, measurable progress, including the unrestricted delivery of aid via ashdod port and restarting of the water line. To avert imminent famine and further preventable deaths from disease, we need a quantum leap in humanitarian aid to palestinians in gaza. Food is essential. So our clean water, sanitation and health care. This means addressing the challenges impeding delivery on the ground. Humanitarian agencies led by unrwa, which is the backbone of our operations, must be able to move food and other supplies safely and via all possible routes and crossings into and throughout every part of gaza. That requires improved Delivery Systems around all Supply Routes and entry points. Humanitarians also need security. Nearly 250 aid workers, including more than 180 of our own staff, have been killed in gaza. I repeat my Call Forfurther been killed in gaza. I repeat my call for further investigations into these tragic deaths. Just last week, unicef vehicle travelling with a convoy was caught in crossfire. Delivering aid at scale requires israels full assistance in humanitarian operations including through a Notification System and improved and direct communications between humanitarians and military Decision Makers on the ground. This is essential and must be implemented immediately. Forthe is essential and must be implemented immediately. For the moment, is essential and must be implemented immediately. Forthe moment, however Aid Operations face enormous difficulties, and are barely functional. They cannot operate in an organised systematic way, they can only seize opportunities to deliver aid whenever and wherever possible. Humanitarians alone cannot address the enormity of the needs in gaza. The private sector is critical, increasing commercial traffic is essential. What is needed is clear, and immediate unitarian ceasefire in gaza, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, and the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid. The International Community as a shared responsibility to do Everything Possible to make this happen. Mr president , a comprehensive de escalation approach must also reverse the explosive situation in the occupied west bank. More than 450 the occupied west bank. More than a50 palestinians, including 112 children, have been killed in the occupied west bank since the 7th of october. The majority by Israeli Forces in the course of their operations, and in exchanges between Israeli Forces and armed palestinians. Others were killed by armed israeli settlers, sometimes in the presence of Israeli Security forces who reportedly stood by and did nothing to prevent these killings. Last year saw the highest number of such attacks, and this year incidents of violence and intimidation against Palestinian Community since the United Nations began recording them in 2006. 17 israelis, including one child, have also been killed in the occupied west bank and israel since the 7th of october. In addition to these numbers, and the reported killing of a 1a year old israeli boy over the weekend set off another wager of Armed Settler attacks against at least 37 palestinian villages in the occupied west bank. Four palestinians were killed, including a 17 year old boy. I condemn all violence against civilians. I urge israel to make immediate steps to end of the unprecedented levels of Settler Violence and to hold accountable those who have perpetrated such attacks. I call on israel as the occupying power to protect the palestinian population of the occupied west bank against attacks, violence and intimidation. The backdrop to this appalling surge in violence is the continued expansion of israeli settlements, in themselves a violation of international law, and repeated large Israeli Operations in palestinian areas. Declarations that areas now constitute israeli state land, together with legal decisions that strengthen settlements and potentially increase demolitions and evictions, risk undermining the continuity of a future Palestinian State and deny hope to a generation of palestinians. Israel and the International Community must support and work with the new Palestinian Government to address its fiscal challenges, strengthening its governments capacity and preparing it to assume its responsibilities in gaza in the future. I urge all actors to recognise the Critical Role the Palestinian Authority should play in gaza and work towards enabling its return in the appropriate time. Mr president , the ultimate goal remains a two state solution. Israeland ultimate goal remains a two state solution.

Well, David Cameron there with those i violated. Thank you. Well, david i cameron there with those comments about ukraine, very interesting, talking about perhaps having to look at creative ways of actually helping ukraine. We will return to that thought in a moment. We were listening to the un Secretary General talking about the threat of further escalation between iran and israel, saying there at the start of his comments that this is a moment of maximum peril in the middle east, it must be a time for maximum restraint. He then went on to talk about the offensive in gaza creating a humanitarian health scape, his description, saying they needed a quantum leap in aid being delivered, saying that though although there was progress by israel improve deliveries in gaza it is often cancelled out by delays and restrictions elsewhere. Some of the key lines from Antonio Guterres. Also as we were listening to that, let me just update you from the uk and the us news that the uk has sanctioned a further seven individuals and six entities who have enabled iran to conduct destabilising regional activity, including the direct attack on israel. That coming from the uk authorities. It is in coordination with the us are taking similar moves. That is the backdrop, so lets go to our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, he is there injerusalem listening to all of those developments. James, lets start with the absolute tensions between israel and iran. Are you getting any sort of feel which way israel is tilting, listening to those calls for restraint which we just heard from Antonio Guterres and others, or listening to the hawks who are demanding the toughest action against iran . Who are demanding the toughest action against iran . Well, what we know is that action against iran . Well, what we know is that israel action against iran . Well, what we know is that israel is action against iran . Well, what we know is that israel is going action against iran . Well, what we know is that israel is going to i action against iran . Well, what we know is that israel is going to act. | know is that israel is going to act. They have made it very clear that there will be a response. What we dont know yet is the timing and the house. In terms of how they might respond, where the debate is centring is over should it be and israel to iran attack, or should israel to iran attack, or should Israel Attack some other representative part of a rainy and authority. In other words, some of it supported militias in the region. We know that the westie saying, look, be very cautious about a direct attack on iranian soil because of the risk escalation. The israelis, rhetorically at least, have said thanks for your advice but we will make up our own minds. There is some discussion going on that suggests that the israelis might pause a bit, they might allow time to pass, maybe wait until the Passover Holiday is over before they respond, but that is just some speculation and some analysis, it is not a clear decision. At the same time, the iranians are doing everything they possibly can to try to deter attack by making it clear that if there is any strike against iran if they will respond firmly. And even today, one of their senior commanders from the Iranian Revolutionary guard saying that if israel was to attack Iranian Nuclear facilities, then potentially iran could change its nuclear strategy. In other words, openly saying that we are going to develop nuclear weapons. At the moment, that west bank that is what iran is doing but iran always denies that, saying that it is a Rainier Development programme is purely civilian.

A former head of mossad was talking to bbc a little early and talking about and referencing sanctions from the west, and just i was reading out to the latest package of sanctions and measures, both from the uk and the us.

This particular bit of the Sanctions Regime against iran has already got a list of a00 people on it, they have tacked on another seven people and six entities. This is not going to shift the dial. What this is is a symbolic declaration by the us and the uk of saying, look, we need to maintain International Pressure on iran, that is something that israel has been asking for, i think there is a desire, diplomatically, within the west to try and harness some of the diplomatic support that iran has got israel has got, as a result of the iranian attack. This is a symbolic demonstration of that but remember that sanctions have a symbolic sort of rhetorical sight to them when they are announced, actually changing things in the long run takes time. 2, actually changing things in the long run takes time.

Hello there. A cold crisp starts to our morning for some of us. In fact, temperatures got down to as low as minus four in the lake district. So, yes, there was some frost. However, the cloud arrived and weve got some rain pushing in to scotland. This High Pressure will gradually influence the story into the weekend, but toppling across that high as well. The fronts thats bringing some rain, showery outbreaks of rain as it moves its way across scotland. Its going to push its way into Northern England and north wales this afternoon. A lot more in the way of cloud. But we cling onto some sunshine in the southeast corner and a degree or so warmer than yesterday with lighter winds here, 15 degrees. That cloud and rain sinks its way steadily south overnight. And then clear skies and a brisk Northwesterly Wind picks up. Thats going to drive in a few scattered showers, some of them wintry with elevation in scotland here, A Chillier Night to come. But across england and wales, we keep quite a lot of clouds. So temperatures holding up. So its going to be a dull, drab, damp start to friday morning as that weak Frontal System eases away, the cloud will gradually break up brighter conditions into the afternoon, few scattered showers, but again, still quite a blustery wind, particularly in the far north east of scotland. And here that will have an impact. Only eight degrees, the high elsewhere, a little bit more shelter perhaps down into the southwest. We could see 1a or 15 into the weekend. The location is going to be the important key because the further west, if we get some sunshine coming through, we could see 17 degrees with that High Pressure building in. But along that east coast, cool and disappointing with a lot of cloud at times. Thats because as the High Pressure drifts its way further eastwards, we are going to tap into some cold air coming from scandinavia. And theres that wind pushes across the cool north sea. Well, that means on exposed east coast, there will be a little more in the way of cloud and it will be noticeably cooler. Not looking too bad on saturday, but well start off with some sunshine and clouding over as the day goes on. Again, highest values perhaps in the west with 1a degrees, perhaps struggling, 9 to 11 degrees across the east coast. And on sunday, itll be a similar story, a dull, gray, cool feel, particularly out on those exposed coasts. But further west with a little more shelter, we should see highs of 17 celsius quite possible in northern ireland
