Leicester City And Chelsea are playing the Fa Cup final at Wembley Stadium in london. Chelsea has won the trophy eight times, while leicester are hoping to lift it for the first time. Good evening. The White House says it has told israel to ensure the Safety And Security ofjournalists after israeli warplanes destroyed a Tower Block in Gaza City. Occupants of the building, which housed the Associated Press and aljazeera, were given an hour to leave. Israel claims the block was used by hamas� s Military Intelligence. It follows Rocket Attacks by hamas militants, which killed one man in Tel Aviv. An israeli strike overnight on a Refugee Camp killed at least 14 people, ten of them from one extended family. Our middle East Correspondent Yolande Knell reports from the West Bank. Within seconds, another Tower Block erased from gazas skyline. Journalists for international networks who worked inside rushed out after a warning from israel that it was about to strike. It says Hamas Intelligence used the building. Earlier, a barrage of rockets hit Tel Aviv for the first time in two days, with deadly results. Emergency services unable to save a man here. In gaza, there has been almost no time to mourn as the numbers killed mount up. Mohammed lost almost everyone in his family. His wife and their children were staying with her brother when the missiles struck their home in an overcrowded Refugee Camp. Little omar is all he has left, found in the rubble next to his mother. With militants continuing to be targeted, images released by israels military show an operation that is not letting up. Officials say dealing a strong blow to deter hamas will take more time. And hamas is not stopping its fire either. Its rockets, as always, are indiscriminate, continuing to pour down on the israeli towns closest to gaza. Tensions here remain high in israels mixed cities wherejews and arabs live Side By side. There were more disturbances overnight. Today this was jaffa, the streets deserted. And now, the focus turns to the palestinian territories. This is a solemn day when palestinians remember the dispossession of hundreds of thousands of people when israel was created in 1948. They call it al nakba, the catastrophe. And this year, the violence elsewhere adds extra fuel to the protests. Well, since sending that report, Yolande Knell was able to give us this update from behtlehem in the West Bank. Tensions really picking up again across the palestinian territories, so here in bethlehem in the West Bank, young palestinians in the last hour have been responding to calls for protest after dark, coming out in the street. Close to an israeli Military Tower which is just out of sight. They are burning rubbish and tires, things like that. There have been repeated clashes overnight. 11 palestinians were killed in cities across the West Bank in these violent confrontations with israeli security forces. This is happening in response partly to all thats going on. The unrest there has been elsewhere is really feeling this, adding to people because my anger, but it is also a day which is always a day of protests. People pause my anger.

Well, the biden administration said over sent over an invoice so he could add to the Cease Fire talked. There and broke diplomats involved, because egypt is a neighbour of Israel And Gaza at but at the moment, what were seeing is there is no sign that that fighting is beginning to abate. In terms of gaza, we know a lot of palestinians have been leaving the border area, worried about the israeli ground offensive. Do you think thats likely in the next few days .

Its not ruling out a ground invasion, but that could lead to a much heavier loss of life and change public opinion on the israeli side as well as on the palestinian side. But people In Gaza, you have to remember, are reacting to whats happened to them. The success of conflict. Back in 2014, when there was a ground invasion, this is exactly what happened. People left these areas, which had already seen such a Heavy Bombardment by israel and headed down towards Gaza City.

The message that we have heard from israeli happen . The message that we have heard from israeli officials heard from israeli officials consistently in the past few days is that they want to deliver a blow to hamas. They want to stop the persistent Rocket Fire that there has been on israeli towns and cities. In addition to what Weve Seenin cities. In addition to what weve seen in the past week, if you go back over recent years, whenever there is an uptick in tensions between Israel And Gaza, whenever hamas wants to send a message to israel, you do get these rockets fired. That is an awful way for people to live in those communities that surround gaza, so theres a lot of Public Pressure on the israeli government to try to take decisive action. There is also Public Pressure on hamas. It told the palestinian people that it is reacting to the tensions that have been seen injerusalem, particularly through ramadan. Its trying to position itself for the palestinian people, particularly in this moment of weakness for the Palestinian Authority � s after it cancelled the first General Election due to take place in 15 years. Its trying to look like it can control the political agenda and that it is sending a strong message to palestinians. Lets return to that israeli attack. Both the Associated Press and Al Jazeera � s all their offices and destroyed and condemned the attack. Earlier i spoke to Mark Regev, Senior Adviser to prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and former israeli ambassador to the uk, about what israels justification was for attacking the building In Gaza which housed Media Outlets like aljazeera and ap. It was a Military Target because hamas was using that building. Its Military Intelligence had assets in that building that were part of the hamas war machine, and the minute they turned what is supposed to be a civilian target into part of their military infrastructure, it becomes under international law a legal target. Having said that, i think we acted very appropriately and we gave an hours warning. People, all the journalists, all the civilians in the building were told that this is going to be a target, that they should evacuate. They did so and im very satisfied that not a single journalist was hurt. As far as i know, there was no collateral damage. I havent heard anyone from ap or even from aljazeera was injured in the attack, and from my point of view, that is success. Its showing that israel, while trying to degrade the hamas military machine, at the same time, is doing our utmost to protect civilian life and not to see innocent people caught up in the crossfire. Right, you say that building was part of the hamas war machine. Your critics, frankly, will say youre making that up. And wheres the proof, where is the proof . So, we are very sure about what we say, and israeli intelligence, ithink, usually gets high credibility when we speak to our colleagues in britain and the united states. I think israeli intelligence has had many successes over the years, and i think our Veracity And Professionalism is not doubted by serious people. But you know how controversial this sort of attack is, so surely you wouldve taken steps to provide proof of what you say, perhaps by providing intercepts, communication intercepts, from that building, from the people you say were hamas militants. Are we going to get that sort of proof . Well, its a good idea. Ill see what i can do, but i can say this the most important thing we did was to warn innocent people and therefore avoid having harm come to them. No one, as i say, from ap or from aljazeera, as far as i know, was injured in the attack because israel took the precaution. We notified them in advance and said, this building is a Military Target, we have to take it out, please vacate the premises, and thankfully, they did so. That was the israeli perspective. Gary pruitt, President And Ceo of Associated Press, joins us from the news Agencys Headquarters in new york. You have offices in that building that has been destroyed.

Here, thousands of people have gathered in Central London to march in solidarity with the palestinian people. A large crowd moved through Hyde Park to the israeli embassy. Similar rallies have been held in other cities in the uk and elsewhere in the world. The headlines on Bbc News Israeli warplanes destroy a Gaza City Tower Block, which had been the headquarters for internationaljournalists. It was evacuated before the attack after an israeli warning. People in areas where the indian variant of coronavirus is spreading are urged to get a covid vaccination. Wreath laying services have been held across the uk and around the world to mark the centenary of the Royal British Legion. Testing for the Coronavirus Indian variant is being carried out in parts of scotland, london, the midlands, and also in the North West of england, where the government says the army is to be deployed to help with Surge Testing efforts. Our Health Correspondent Katherine Da Costa reports. Out on the streets of bolton in greater manchester, this rapid Response Team is going door to door, handing out Test Kits as authorities here and in other Hotspots Race to contain the more contagious indian variant. Were asking people to please take a test if you dont have any symptoms so we can identify people who may be positive and then support them through the isolation period. Excuse me, keep walking. There are surge vaccinations, too. At this site in bolton, they have ramped up to 4,000 shots per day. While vaccines are expected to protect against serious illness from this variant, its thought they may not completely stop transmission so the advice now is to shorten the gap between doses to eight weeks for the most vulnerable, to boost short term immunity. There is a bit of a Trade Off here because we know 12 weeks is better in terms of long Term Protection but we think there is enough of a crisis with this particular virus in the country at the moment to make sure that we get those individuals that have only had their first dose fully protected as quickly as possible. This 5k run at Kempton Park in surrey is a Test Event to see whether mass outdoor events without social distancing could be brought back safely again. Some Health Experts are concerned allowing indoor mixing from monday and a more Transmissible variant risks the variant taking off again but ministers say its too soon to say what it will mean for ending lockdown measures next month. We dont know how much more Transmissible it is yet. So, if its a low increase in transmissibility, that wouldnt fundamentally, necessarily, change things. If its a high level, then we would have to look carefully at what happens on the 21st ofjune. Around 1,000 covid patients are being treated in hospitals across the uk, the lowest level since mid september, but about a third of adults are still unvaccinated. Its now an anxious wait to see whether new infections translate to a rise in Hospital Admissions in the weeks to come. Katharine da costa, bbc news. Our political correspondent Chris Mason is here with me. What are the implications of all of this for the easing of restrictions . Does it all depends on how Transmissible This Indian variant is . , Transmissible This Indian variant is . ,. , Transmissible This Indian variant is . , Transmissible This Indian variant is . I. , is . Yeah, when you look at the scientific data is . Yeah, when you look at the scientific data published is . Yeah, when you look at the scientific data published last i scientific data published last night, they acknowledge there is a huge amount that isnt yet known about the transmissibility, how easy it is to spread this new indian variance. But they acknowledge the early Evidence to suggest that there is more Transmissible than the other variants. If an community transmission, as it was known, it was to be 40 or 50 more Transmissible than the kent variant, it might be on the early Evidence. They conclude that the unlocking could on its own lead to a resurgence in cases and hospitalisations, around and about the level we saw earlier this year in january. That the level we saw earlier this year injanuary. That could be mitigated by local measures where the indian variant is prominent, but they paint a fairly low alarming picture. The government concluded that it makes sense to press ahead, but we will have to wait for a couple of weeks before there is a definitive proof as to whether or not thats the rightjudgment. Whats fascinating right judgment. Whats fascinating is rightjudgment. Whats fascinating is the government has said throughout but it is progressing along its Road Map with co option, but with the aim it is irreversible with caution. The but with the aim it is irreversible with caution. The government is auoin with caution. The government is going ahead with caution. The government is going ahead with with caution.

The government is going ahead with the easing next i going ahead with the easing next week in england on monday, but not necessarilyjune the 21st of. Exactly. There might be a delay as far as the final Step Onjune the 21st. I think politically, the challenges this if last night, the prime minister said he told us on monday that things would be opening up monday that things would be opening up in england on this coming monday, but were going to have to do a U Turn and hold off, that would have been a really big moment. But it would be even bigger politically if the Monday Go ahead of him walking was to happen, as its due to, and then further down the Evidence'>Track Evidence mounted meant they had to go backwards. The prime Ministers Language has always been about being cautious. Think about that word irreversible. It allows you to slow down and stop, but it doesnt allow you to go backwards. I think thats where potentially, its awkward for the government, but they say on the balance of risk and the Evidence they have at the moment, and we know what the consequences of not easing the restrictions are socially, they think they are in the right place in terms of the. But as ever, its difficult. Terms of the. But as ever, its difficult. ,. , difficult. Some people might say hanu on a difficult. Some people might say hang on a minute, difficult.

They say there is still the proportion of the population that havent been back soon robust argument. I suppose the other point is if you have up transmissibility that is super high and lots of people get at the same time, that puts pressure on Health Services all at the same time for those who require them. That is the sort of balance of the risk on the modelling, where there is an acceptance of that as far as the indian variant is concerned, there is a huge amount of information that is a huge amount of information that is yet to be gathered. Lots of these are scenarios that may or may not come to pass, but from the Governments Point of view, it has to form a judgment on the balance of risks when the data is variable. I think whats striking is last year, they were criticised by many for rushing to make pronouncements on the upside, positive noises about unlocking that were overtaken by events. Since the turn of the year, plenty would observe they have been much, much more cautious. I guess they will help right now confronted by this new variant that this balance of caution as far as the epidemiological data is concerned, theyve got that balance right. As ever, they have to make a Judgment Call and hope for the best on the basis of the Evidence-theyve'>Evidence Theyve got right now.

Not that youre not an expert, but certainly an expert in political things. Mark is also a member of the scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on modelling, which feeds into sage. Thank you very much indeed for being with us, mark. How worried are you about the indian variant . Is itjust another one of these variants, or is it really dangerous . Its another one of these variants, or is it really dangerous . It really dangerous . Its very difficult to it really dangerous . Its very difficult to say it really dangerous . Its very difficult to say right it really dangerous . Its very difficult to say right now it really dangerous . Its very difficult to say right now because we dont have as much information as we dont have as much information as we would like, but the signs were seeing are slightly worrying. Weve seen this variant increase very rapidly and weve seen a Big Wave of cases in india. Weve seen the variant has come to the uk, and in some parts, its now well over 50 of cases. It seems to be growing fast in the faster than the of the existing variants in the uk. Its difficult to say for sure. Weve seen some countries in Southeast Asia who are seeing outbreaks, so there do seem to be rather alarming signs. Haifa rather alarming signs. How Transmissible rather alarming signs. How Transmissible do rather alarming signs. How Transmissible do you ratheralarming signs. How Transmissible do you think it is . I appreciate we dont actually know, there are suggestions that could be 60 more Transmissible. There are suggestions that could be 6096 more Transmissible.

Those are the estimates that people 6096 more Transmissible. Those are the estimates that people have 6096 more Transmissible. Those are i the estimates that people have made based on preliminary data, but its really too early to tell because a lot of the initial cases were due to people coming from abroad. Its only now that they see a case absolutely due to transmission from these people, so as we get more data, we should have more certainty about whether that figure is correct. Should we have shut the borders earlier . Shall be put india onto the Red List earlier than we did . Its Red List earlier than we did . Its very difficult Red List earlier than we did . It� s very difficult to tell. In retrospect, i do think that even with a very tight Border Controls, eventually, we would have seen this variant arrived because if not possible to completely shut borders 100 .

But this is based in the lab. We should be able to look at the data and see what that tells us about the vaccine.

In a message to coincide with the occasion, Prince Charles said the organisation ensured the sacrifices of veterans would never be forgotten. Jon donnison has the details. Bugle plays Last Post in whitehall this morning, a Lone Bugler and the Last Post to remember those who have been lost but also to mark 100 years of the Royal British Legion. Representatives of the army, the Royal Navy and the royal Air Force were among those who laid Wreath Clinic at the cenotaph, after earlier Prince Charles had offered his thanks. I wanted, above all, to offer my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all those who have helped build this wonderful organisation we know today, and to all those who will be part of its future. The british legion was set up in 1921, in the aftermath of the first world war. Its mission was to support military veterans and their families. So, 100 years after it was founded on this very spot, the Royal British Legion has marked its centenary, and for its more than 200,000 members the organisation is as relevant today as it was a century ago. Whilst its a different era now, the nature of the wounds have changed, but the specialist skills that we can offer are just as relevant.
