Anna foster reports from jerusalem. At gazas southern tip, the aftermath of another israeli air strike. 1. 4 million displaced people are now sheltering in rafah and israel has made it clear it wants to go further. A ground offensive, it ,says would remove hamas from gaza entirely. But theres International Pressure to avoid even more deaths. The message from israels allies to its leaders is getting stronger. Our position is that hamas should not be allowed a Safe Haven In Rafah or anywhere else, but a major Ground Operation there would be a mistake.

President ial election, which is certain to hand ballots have been cast over Vladimir Putin another six years in power. Ballots have been cast over three days. There has been some vandalism and a number of arrests at Polling Stations, but the final result is not in doubt as mr putin has no credible opponent. It comes as supporters of the late Opposition Leader, Alexei Navalny, have urged people to turn out en masse at midday in each time zone and vote for any candidate other than mr putin or spoil their ballot papers. The Rolling Protest has been dubbed noon against putin. One of the main issues that voters are thinking about, is the war in ukraine. On that, here are two voters from an area just north of moscow.
