Hello, i m matthew amroliwala, welcome to verified live, we start with that Breaking News from gaza. Three sons of hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and three of his grandchildren have been killed in an israeli air strike on gaza. Thats according to a hamas affiliated news agency. Based in qatar, he said the deaths would not affect the groups demands on the ongoing Cease Fire Negotiations but he has confirmed at least three of his children and a number of his grandchildren were killed in this incident and that is called life tojerusalem. We can now speak to the Bbc World Service middle east editor sebastian usher in jerusalem. Tell us more. Olmos media gave the news first saying tell us more.

There are images of the aftermath showing it is essentially destroyed and bodies on the ground. Ismail haniyeh himself lives in qatar and he was there and meeting wounded palestinians are being taken by the qatar reads for treatment there. He is in receiving the news and as he receives it, he thinks god for the honour that is been bestowed upon him for the martyrdom of his three sons and several of his grandchildren.

In terms of response, has there been anything from the has there been anything from the israeli, it is interesting to note the line that i read out that he has already said that it will not affect the demands in terms of the Cease Fire Talks that are ongoing. Know, theres been nothing from the israeli army from the government and israeli army from the government and i think the way he frames saying it would not shift the negotiations and away, he was essentially suggesting that israel come if of this attack in this is an air strike is natural that hamas would point the finger at israel. He was suggesting that israel. He was suggesting that israel was trying to put pressure on hamas on the leadership by doing this to shift its position in its position at the moment of the current proposal is being looked at in negotiations and we have seen several hamas officials and their conditions after the slaves proposals. In the been after thered been optimism that these talks might result finally in his second cease fire in their more optimistic side from the israelis that theyre willing to accept a much bigger return of displaced gazans to the north they have Security Issues that hamas fighters met and for trade and be able to regroup there but what we have been hearing from Israeli Media Is Security Cabinet was looking at a proposal for 150,000 palestinians to be allowed to the north without security and that was essentially accepted by the government. This, obviously is a big moment in some ways that the leader of hamas during these negotiations, three of this sons and his grandchildren killed and this is, wishing from hamas sources that they were heading to a celebration of eid. In gaza, thats been very muted after six months of conflict but the fact that it is happened on eid will have a bigger impact. Now, the way that mr Ismail Haniyeh has reacted to it essentially is that he is proud his family is suffering as other gazans are that it will not change anything. And he is already lost a large number of his family. There was a son that he lost february a brother and nephew back in november and he is suggesting much larger that his widerfamily and he is suggesting much larger that his wider family has also been killed.

A major report into Gender Services for young people in england and wales says that medical interventions given to under 185 are based on � remarkably weak evidence. � the reports author . Dr Hilary Cass 7 says the long term impact of using Puberty Blockers and hormones is uncertain, and should only be given with � Extreme Caution. � england has joined a list of countries that are reviewing treatments for gender dysphoria. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. It� s a landmark review with a stark conclusion that children had been let down because of remarkably weak evidence on medical interventions in gender care. This final report follows an interim review, which has already led to major changes. Gender Services Provided by the controversial Tavistock Clinic in london, ended last month. Two new centres in london and liverpool have been set up. The use of drugs to stop the onset of puberty has now stopped until further research is done. The author of the report says Hormone Treatments should in future be used with Extreme Caution for 16 to 18 year olds, and argues that children were let down by the quality of services. It is unusual for us to give a potentially life changing treatment to young people and not know what happens to them in adulthood. And that� s been a particular problem that we haven� t had the follow up into adulthood to know what the results of this are. And that� s the reason why i� ve said that we must improve the Research Base here. Keira bell started taking Puberty Blockers aged 16 after being referred to the tavistock. She then took legal action, arguing she wasn� t challenged enough at the clinic, and regretted her decision. Her lawyer responded to the review findings. Whilst it is very reassuring for young people who are going through gender questioning at the moment, and their parents, hopefully therell be a new service developed that will meet their needs appropriately. It is unfortunately for many young people too late. They live with the ongoing consequences of poor clinical treatment, and their lives are forever changed. Expanding Gender Services is another key focus of this review. Recommendations include a separate pathway for Young Children and their families, allowing early discussions to take place, a follow through service for 17 to 25 year olds, and assurances that the same standards of care as other parts of the nhs will be provided. Sonja wanted to transition from the age of 15, but she found she couldn� t get access to care, and was put on a waiting list. By the age of 18, she hadn� t had a first appointment and was transferred to adult services. After hearing there� d be another long wait, she opted to go private until she could be seen by the nhs. Sonja says the long delays were hard to cope with and she hopes there� ll soon be changes. Hopefully with the review and its findings, the Young Trans Peoplej of today and the generations can have a more human and a morel respectful transition, that doesnt feel demeaning or demoralising or like its taking years upon years ofjust waiting. | nhs england says there� ll be an implementation plan. For sonja, it� s the detail and the delivery which will count. You are watching bbc news.

The post Office Inquiry in london has been Hearing Evidence from lord arbuthnot, a leading supporter of the Campaign Forjustice for the hundreds of Branch Managers who were wrongly convicted. Faulty Accounting Software developed by the japanese company, fujitsu, made it look as though post Office Workers were stealing.

With the i inquiries trying to determine is what is widely seen as one of the biggest Miscarriages Ofjustice In Uk history happening and who knew what and when and campaign for so many of these victims and so, he engaged with post Office Executives as well as ministers and his assessment was successive governments could� ve done more to help these victims and the post office defensive, secretive and he said that they were blocking information getting to investigators when it comes to governments, he says he flagged issues to deal with the Horizon It System Back in 2009 and the response he got was of the government has an arms length position when it comes to the post Office Despite being a shareholder and owner of post office limited. And i was not good enough for him and he said essentially he signed in justice and of the government can sort it out and the answer was no, not me the competitor on a dangerous dog and sync you can� t have an arms length relationship when a dog behaves badly. And at hooper shared the mediation between the victims and some postmasters in the post office back in 2013 and the Court Of Appealsjudge for more office back in 2013 and the Court Of Appeals judge for more than two decades and he said we now know the evidence in the account that post Office Brought forward is complete rubbish and the problem was, they cannot find a smoking gun at the time when it came to a fundamental flaw within the system and at this moment, i want to play this. It is the greatest moment, i want to play this. It is the greatest scandal moment, i want to play this. It is the greatest scandal that ive ever seen the greatest scandal that ive ever seen in the greatest scandal that ive ever seen. In the Criminaljustice System seen. In the Criminaljustice System.

We need to re evaluate how we approach criminal cases re evaluate how we approach criminal cases of re evaluate how we approach criminal cases of this re evaluate how we approach criminal cases of this kind. Something went very very cases of this kind. Something went very very wrong. And i do not envy the chairmans task in trying to find out the chairmans task in trying to find out how it all started. Something went very, very wrong. There something went very, very wrong. There was something went very, very wrong. There was very difficult for him to say and his greatest fear was that people would die before they could have their convictions quashed. All of this evidence they put forward, the testimony will be crucial in the coming weeks as Senior Executives at the post office, including the former Chief Executive comes to this inquiry and for now it continues the next few days and other executives in the post office will have to answer questions as to what they knew and more importantly, when they knew and more importantly, when they knew it.

It is going to get warmer in the next few days, but the rain is not completely gone away just yet. And the rainfall that we� ve had this month at edinburgh Botanic Gardens is particularly noteworthy. So far this month, there� s been 81 millimetres of rain, and afterjust ten days, that� s twice the average rainfall already. And it follows on from what was the Wettest March On Record in edinburgh as well. Now, we have had some rain in edinburgh today. The heaviest rain has been over the hills in Western Parts of scotland, and that cloud has been coming in on a South Westerly Wind. And it� s that South Westerly Wind that� s bringing in some warmer air from the atlantic. Still some rain around this evening. And overnight, The Second Band Of Rain Will push its way southwards across england and wales. The rain becoming light and patchy. Following on from that, we get some clearer skies. We� ve still got the same south westerly air mass, still warm air, so temperatures are going to be a lot higher than they were last night for many staying in double figures. Heading into tomorrow, still quite cloudy across southern parts of england and wales. Still a bit of light rain or drizzle, particularly in the morning. But away from here, i think we should see some brighter skies, some sunshine on the way. Still got South Westerly Winds, but with the sunshine, it� s going to be a lot warmer. Temperatures could make 19, maybe 20 degrees across parts of the midlands, lincolnshire and across east anglia. Still some weather fronts, though, hanging around in the far south, and those will tend to push their way steadily northwards overnight and into friday. And they� re going to take Rain Northwards as well. Back towards northern ireland, some patchy rain, and that will push its way into northern ireland, perhaps the far north of england, but to the south it should be dry. After a cloudy start, the cloud should thin and break and we� ll get some sunshine coming through. Still got South Westerly Winds, still very mild air, warm air. So let� s look at the temperatures for friday. Compare them with average. You can see we� ve got to 20 degrees at bury st edmunds, six degrees above the average for this time of the year. It� s a similar sort of story, really, in aberdeen, 18 degrees on friday. We� re missing most of the rain that is coming into scotland. That warm air isn� t going to last into the weekend, though. We are going to find cooler conditions moving down from the northwest and pressure will be falling as well. So the likelihood that things will start to turn a bit wetter. Now, i think across southeastern areas, the weekend is still going to be dry. But even here, after a warm day on saturday, temperatures will be lower on sunday. But further north and west, we� re more likely to have some showers at times. This is bbc news, the headlines the hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, says three of his sons have been killed in an israeli air strike in gaza.
