An israeli bombardment in the Eastern Parts Of Rafah has already displaced Tens Of Thousands of palestinians. Mr blinken has been talking to cbs news as we look at rafah, they may go in and have some initial success, but potentially at an incredibly high cost to civilians. But one that is not durable, one that is not sustainable, and they will be left holding the bag on an enduring insurgency because a lot of armed hamas will be left, no matter what they do in rafah. Or if they leave and get out of gaza, as we believe they need to do, then youre going to have a vacuum and a vacuum that is likely to be filled by chaos, by anarchy, and ultimately by hamas again. So, weve been working for many weeks on developing credible plans for security, for governance, for rebuilding. We havent seen that come from israel. Weve been working with arab countries and others on that plan. We need to see that, too. Pick we have the same objective as israel. We want to make sure that hamas cannot govern gaz

In sevastopol hours after the attack. The Russian Defence Ministry Said one serviceman was missing. Our Correspondentjames Waterhouse has more from kyiv. This is clearly a continuation of ukraines tactic of specifically targeting sites in occupied crimea, but the apparent direct hit of russias naval headquarters in sevastopol is hugely symbolic. Its not yet clear what operational damage will be caused for russia, but this is a place where it has exerted such dominance through its navy, where it launches missiles across ukraine, it blockades ukrainian ports. And i think what this attack does is undermine russias continued occupation in a place that seems a cornerstone of its invasion from as far back as 2014. There is also a connection between this Missile Strike and ukraines continued counteroffensive further north. What they are trying to do is frustrate russian supply lines and isolate swathes of occupied territory in the hope that troops will run out of supplies. Now, president Zele

Through the first line of russian defences. Our security correspondent Frank Gardner has been working with the bbc verify team to determine whether ukraine is making any significant process. Ukraines big Counter Offensive in the south is making progress, but how far have their troops really got and can they break through russias defences to turn the tide of this war . Lets just remind ourselves. The Dark Red Area is the area occupied by Russian Forces. The purple area is ground that the ukrainians have recaptured. The russian defences consist of two major lines, each composed of several interlocking obstacles trenches, anti tank devices, minefields, all covered by artillery. The ukrainians have had to spend most of the last three months picking their way through minefields like this one. You can see the hidden mines circled in red here. And theyre doing this on foot, sometimes at night, often underfire, hence the slow progress to date. Theyre also having to find their way through obsta
