Violent clashes between israeli troops and palestinians have spread across much of the occupied west bank, following days of hostility in gaza. The israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that israels biggest offensive against hamas in gaza in years is not over yet. Its estimated ten thousand palestinians have had to leave their homes to flee the israeli bombardment. Rockets were fired by militants towards israel from the territory for a fifth day. At least 122 people in gaza have been killed, and 9 have died in israel since fighting began on monday. From jerusalem heres our middle east editor, jeremy bowen. The sectarian crisis nobody expected is deepening. Tonight, arab protesters are on the streets of northern israel. This was nazareth. They are forced back into the wider conflict that includes gaza and jerusalem. It is ugly and angry in a town shared byjews and arabs. Violence between citizens could be a bigger crisis for israel than gaza. This was a burnt outjewish school. Police broke down the door of this family. They deny accusations their sons were attacking jews. The police say their offices behaved correctly. The father, the imam of a mosque and his two sons were arrested for attacking police officers. The woman who filmed this said they are scared, not ofjews, but of racist police. A local rabbi visited, she said, to apologise. In gaza, they buried this 13 year old. He was hit during an israeli air strike while he waited for a new haircut to celebrate the end of ramadan. Half of gazas two million palestinians are children. This is the boys brother. In the occupied territories and in israel, events this week have exposed once again, the mutual hatred and fear that are the essence of this conflict. This was hebron during a day of protest on the occupied west bank. More palestinians were killed. Injerusalem, palestinians pelted jewish settlers with stones and fireworks. The settlers hit back with live bullets. This was sheikjarrah, where attempts to evict palestinians from their homes helped the escalation to war. The conflict crosses borders. Injordan, the country next door, Security Forces kept protesters back from the frontier. Palestinians make up more than half of thejordanian population, mostly refugees from past wars not permitted to return by israel. History never dies in this conflict. People do. Jeremy bowen told us earlier about the diplomatic efforts involved in trying to reach a ceasefire. The pattern has been in the years of clashes and wars between hamas and israel since hamas took over in gaza in 2007. The pattern has been that the end of the cease fire, which is achieved through mediation. But for that to happen, both sides need to come away with something. Now, one thing that we have been hearing is it could be that hamas is saying that it needs some kind of acknowledgement of things that it has achieved to help palestinians or Something Like that and if there is Something Like that and if there is some kind of statement, they will never get that from the israelis. In other words, never get that from the israelis. In otherwords, i never get that from the israelis. In other words, i think that this is actually a really important time for of diplomacy because of it doesnt work, the only way is down. The areas within israel, i think are actually potentially much more serious for the Israeli Government and the israeli people then what is happening in gaza. That is a terrible thing, what is going on and it is absolutely brutal. People are terrorised, both sides, but traumatised as well. But the sectarian issue is something that is new at this time to pitch. And its something that may not go away and it will turn into a big problem for Israeli Governments. Kind. The head of the World Health Organization has urged rich countries to reconsider plans to vaccinate children and instead donate jabs to the covax scheme for poorer countries. Of the coronavirus pandemic is set to be far deadlier than the first. Right now, i urge them to reconsider and to instead donate vaccines to covax. For more on the reasons behind the w h o warning heres professor martin mckee from the London School of hygiene tropical medicine. I think if you look at what is happening in india, you can see why he is saying it and also the same thing happening in nepal and some of the other neighbouring countries in asia. Theres still a lot of potential for spread asia. Theres still a lot of potentialfor spread in asia. Theres still a lot of potential for spread in africa that we have not seen yet. Clearly there is of risk there. As long as the fires continues to circulate, it will continue to mutate and that is the real worry. Until we can get levels down everywhere, that means getting everybody vaccinated, and as doctor ted said, its notjust the vaccination, its a combination of the vaccination in the Public Health measure, then we can be more optimistic. But we are still far away from that yet. We understand the concept away from that yet. We understand the concept if away from that yet. We understand the concept if there away from that yet. We understand the concept if there is away from that yet. We understand the concept if there is coronavirus. The concept if there is coronavirus somewhere, it is everywhere. So, your priority then in that case with the International Community is to do what . , ,. ,. , what . Priority is to get as many eole what . Priority is to get as many people vaccinated what .

The United Nations is warning of a sharp rise in the number of people dying as they try to reach europe by sea. With warm weather and falling covid rates, more migrants are attempting the journey. Our europe correspondent nick beake and video journalist Bruno Bull Paahp have this exclusive report on a dramatic rescue. Stranded in the middle of the atlantic, a helpless migrant boat. The spanish Military Helicopters overhead have never spotted anything like this here. Its 300 miles from shore. They realise there are many bodies. Translation this was a mass grave in the middle of the water, or really in the middle of nowhere. I believe their hopes had vanished into the ocean. But incredibly, there are survivors. Including a 17 Year Old Girl called aisha, here in the red jacket. Its now a race to save them. Its the end of april and theyve been drifting for three weeks. Translation there were men who could no longer stand up i and who screamed from thirst. Please, i need to drink water. Can someone please give me water. We used a shoe to give them some sea water. Aisha, a teenagerfrom ivory coast, thought europe would offer a brighterfuture. She saw 56 people die in front of her. Translation after two days we had no more water left, no food. On the fourth day, no more petrol. At the beginning when somebody died, wed say a prayer. By the end, there was no prayer. We didnt have the strength to throw any more bodies in the water. With summer on the horizon, thousands of mostly young men from north and west africa are trying to get to europe. Some are fleeing war, others, the economic hand that life has dealt them. Populist parties say tougher action is needed to stop this. Its a crisis that was masked momentarily by covid, but never solved. Aisha has been welcomed with open arms in tenerife and now, a reunion this man, who lifted her from the boat. Hes brought his family to meet her. For so many others on her boat, there was no new beginning, it was the end. Aisha was one of only three survivors. This was the greatest loss of life in any single known attempt to reach the canary islands. The 2a bodies that were recovered will now be laid to rest here. For the others lost at sea, there is no such dignity in death. Aisha never thought shed be able to speak to her family again, but made a good recovery during her ten days in hospital. She hopes to stay in europe, study and work here and send money back to her parents. This man and his team head off on their next training mission, knowing full well that even the might of the Atlantic Ocean is not enough to stop those prepared to risk death if there is the slightest chance of a better life.

As israeli strikes against targets in gaza continue, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns the offensive against hamas is not over yet. The World Health Organisation has warned that the second year of covid is on track to be far deadlier than the first. Here in the uk, the Prime Minister borisjohnson has said that the new indian variant of coronavirus could pose a serious disruption, to the progress made in tackling the virus. Cases of the indian variant have more than doubled in a week, with more than 13 hundred cases, mostly in england. Heres our medical editor fergus walsh. Long queues for immunisation in bolton, which now has the highest level of coronavirus in the uk. It is one of several areas where the indian variant has now got a foothold, encouraging people to get the jab. Personally, the reason for me getting the vaccine is because i live with elderly people and i dont want them to have have worries. It is thought vaccines will continue to protect against serious illness, but the threat from the indian variant has led to a shift in policy. The gap between first and second doses for the over 50s is being cut from 12 to eight weeks in a bid to boost their immunity. The Prime Minister warned the final lifting of restrictions in england onjune 21st was now in doubt. I have to level with you that this new variant could pose a serious disruption to our progress and could make it more difficult to move to step four injune. And i must stress that we will do whatever it takes to keep the public safe. The indian variant, b1. 617. 2, was first identified here less than a month ago, linked to travel from india before it was put on the red list for hotel quarantine. Cases have more than doubled in a week to over 1,300, but that will inevitably be out of date because it takes time to sequence samples. It now accounts for around 10 of coronavirus cases in the uk. But we are in a far better place than we were just a few months ago. Back in the Peak Injanuary there were one and a quarter Million People infected with coronavirus in the uk, that is one in 50 people. The latest survey from the office for National Statistics suggests that is down to around 47,000, or one in 1,400 people. Get used to this, you are likely to see more of it. Queues for Pcr Surge Testing here in formby, merseyside, one of 15 areas in england where the new indian variant has established itself and maybe displacing the kent variant, the b117. This is more transmissible and we expect over time this variant to overtake and come to dominate in the uk in the way that the kent variant took over and other variants took over prior to that. The Scientific Advisory group, sage, says the indian variant could be as much as 50 more transmissible. If it is, they warn that could lead to a substantial resurgence in hospitalisation. But for now the number of Covid Patients continues to fall, at its lowest level for eight months. The big question, what will happen in the next few weeks . Fergus walsh, bbc news.

Its often said that cats have nine lives. Well, one called hennessy in chicago may now be down to only eight, after it survived a leap from the fifth floor of a burning building. This was the scene in the neighbourhood of englewood where firefighters tackled a blaze at the apartment. When a black cat appears at a window and jumps for it and makes safe landing on all four legs. Lets see it again. You can see how it narrowly clears a wall, and then bounces once on a patch of grass, then just strolls away. Thankfully the Chicago Fire Department reported no one was injured in the fire. Lets get more on how cats are able to survive these jumps. Joining me is Professor Robert dudley from the Animal Flight Laboratory at the University Of California Berkeley that really was a flight.

It hits, it bounces, itjumps off and there goes the cat. It is a series very complex behaviours that we do not normally associate with cats, right, but they can go area when they need to. It is a very sophisticated sort of outcome. And its very uplifting experience. They parachute down to the ground to slow and glide.

If youre waiting for a prolonged, dry, warm spell of weather you have to keep on waiting because this weekend it is going to stay cool and there will be plenty more heavy, thundery downpours. On the atlantic Satellite Picture you can see this big pipeline of cloud just ploughing its way from west to east. You can think of this line of cloud as something of a barrier. Its keeping the warm air away from our shores. That air will lift temperatures across parts of Southern Spain this weekend into the low to mid 30s. For us, we are stuck in cool air and we are stuck under the influence of low pressure. This will bring showers or longer spells of rain through the weekend. A band of cloud with outbreaks of Rain Drifting Northeastward across england and wales, clipping into Northern Ireland as we head through saturday morning. Behind that we revert to that mix of sunshine and showers. Some of the showers will be heavy with hail and thunder. Not too many showers across scotland. Certainly across the northern half of scotland as we go to the day. All for shetland it will stay pretty grey and damp all day long. Temperatures struggling for northeastern areas just 11 degrees. Even in the best of the sunshine 15 or 16. That is it. Through saturday evening the showers will try to fade but actually i think through the early hours of sunday morning, the showers will pop up again down towards the southwest. That is the first sign of what is going to be quite a turbulent day of weather on sunday. As this area of low pressure moves right on top of the uk. That means the air will be very, very unstable. So while most places will start with some dry weather and some sunshine keep an eye on the skies, you will see big under clouds developing. Some really intense downpours and frequent lightning, some hail, some very squally, gusty wind was a particularly strong winds towards the channel islands. There will be some sunshine between the showers but temperatures low to 11 to 15 degrees. As we head to the start of next week low pressure will still be close by. That means we will see further showers or longer spells of rain through the week ahead. Some of the showers always with the potential to be heavy, possibly thundery. Some sunshine in between but no sign of anything warm on the horizon. This is bbc news, the headlines.
