Win big at the oscars . Hello, im anna foster, live injerusalem. Lets look at the latest situation around gaza. You are seeing a moment ago images of a fresh airdrop of aid happening over gaza this morning. We know the us military along with the Jordanian Air force have been carrying out regular airdrops of aid with their parachutes and the pellets are heading down to the people below who so desperately need them. But there is another option to take aid in now starting to come into play as well, and that is the option of taking aid into gaza by sea. The us army says one of its Military Support Ships has set off from the us, it has set off from The Port Of Virginia and it is heading to gaza to build a temporary port to enable ships to unload aid, but that is expected to take two months before it is in place a temporary pier. And there is this cypriot ship, a spanish ship in cyprus are loaded and waiting for clearance to head towards gaza. This is the latest. There is little hope to be f
Aliens have never visited earth. Hello, im samantha simmonds. Youre watching bbc news. We start with the war in gaza. A ship carrying humanitarian aid is expected to set sail to the territory from cyprus this weekend part of a planned maritime aid corridor. Its a joint operation between the eu, us, uk, and united arab emirates, aiming to bring supplies from cyprus to the coast of gaza. The un says a quarter of gazas population is on the brink of famine, and children there are starving to death. Organisers hope the plan could allow additional aid to be brought in, but they continue to press israel to allow more deliveries by road. These are the latest pictures from larnaca in cyprus where, as you can see, aid is being loaded onto a ship, which is due to depart in a couple of hours. The European Unions ambassador to the us told the bbc a little more about the plans for the maritime corridor. Hopefully the pilot, the first try to get aid, already happened over the weekend, but it takes so
The newspapers which really pioneered what we say about the need for a sustainable ceasefire in the middle east. We help bring together the munich meeting, where european countries, america, together with gulf and arab partners talked about some of the things we must do to not only bring conflict to an end, but bring peace to the middle east. We work closely together on the issue of how we get more aid into gaza, and i completely agree with what Annalena Baerbock said, we must look happy option, options as we have done of delivering aid by air, as we have recently done with the jordanians, but nothing must distract us from the fact that if we ultimately want to avoid famine, disease, and help people in gaza, we need 500 trucks a day. That means more crossing points, simpler logistics, stopping sending back items that would be perfectly harmless. It means making sure there is more of for un staff so they are able to deliver these things. This need is urgent. I made these points to the M
Vaping and smoking, but the Office For Budget Responsibility warns the government could find it hard to balance the books. Heres our business correspondent, emma simpson. Did you catch any ofjeremy s budget . It was a chance to turn around the fortunes of the Conservative Party. But was it enough . I think its good that the workers are going to get money back in their pockets. But then if you think about the Cost Of Living and how everything is going up, then maybe they could have given a little bit more back. Anything that cuts taxes, i wish he would have done something a bit more for savers, were in a position where were living off savings. I think theyre trying to do it in light of a General Election and probably not really thinking about what the benefit to the country is. The centrepiece of this budget was a £2 billion cut was a 2p in the pound cut to National Insurance, a tax paid by workers. So who are the winners and losers if you include all the changes to tax and thresholds
