Hello, im anna foster, live injerusalem. Let me take you to the skies above gaza, and these are pictures that show the latest drop of aid that has been carried out by Us Central Command and Jordanian Air force. This is the latest airdrop into gaza, which provided meals, more than 11,500 meal equivalents, food like rice, flour, pasta and canned food. We have seen these airdrops starting to increase over gaza in the last two weeks also since the us air force got involved. It is still nowhere near meeting the huge need for humanitarian aid in gaza. The amount getting in by road is far less than it was when the war began and we are focusing today on New Routes Spicy too to try and braid in. This is something the european new routes to bring in aid by c. Similarly, the us is building a Temporary Port Of Gaza so ships can be unloaded but still no detail of how those supplies when they actually get to gaza will be secured and distributed throughout the strip. Even as people look at aid distri

Going to be able to turn things around straightaway, but we will get to work on all of that. And hollywoods biggest night kicks off later with all eyes on oppenheimer to see if it can break the record for the most wins at the oscars. The budget the government unveiled on wednesday has left the Shadow Chancellor with a major headache. Jeremy hunt cut National Insurance by 2p for the second time in six months, as well as adopting two of labours policies, which it planned to use to Fund Breakfast clubs in schools and extra nhs appointments, if the party wins the next election.

Hello, you will live with bbc news. I am anna foster injerusalem. A Us Military Ship has set off for gaza, carrying equipment to build a Temporary Floating Port for desperately needed aid deliveries. The us military confirmed that that ship left late on saturday from a Military Base in virginia on its way to the middle east. The un has warned that around a quarter of the population of gaza, more than half a million people, are currently facing famine, which is why this new way of potentially getting aid in is so important. And in the meantime, there is a separate aid ship with around 200 tonnes of food on board which is still waiting to set sail from cyprus, waiting to be given the green light to head towards gaza. That is part of a new maritime aid corridor that the eu announced just in the last few days and said that they were optimistic that it would become operational for the first time this weekend. And of course, all of this comes as the us President Joe Biden gave a new intervie
Now on bbc news, political thinking with Nick Robinson hello and welcome to political thinking, a conversation with, rather than a news interrogation of, someone who shaped our political thinking about what has shaped theirs. My guest this week is a daughter of what we still euphemistically called the troubles the 30 years or more of violence which scarred Northern Ireland and the british mainland divided communities and claimed the lives of more than 3000 people. Emma little pengelly is the new deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland. She grew up on the border with the south, the place with the highest death toll outside belfast. Her father was arrested and imprisoned in france for involvement in Arms Trafficking for hardline loyalists back in the 1980s, something he still denies to this day, though, he did once say publicly he would oppose compromise to the bitter end, to the death. Compromise that is with people like the First Minister of Northern Ireland, michelle 0neill of sinn
