Indias virus sorrow. The final messages of a young motherfrom delhi, recorded just before she died. Please dont take corona so lightly. Very bad, very bad symptoms. After 11 days of fighting thats claimed the lives of more than 230 palestinians and i2 israelis, a Ceasefire In Gaza has come into effect. The deal was brokered by egypt and was agreed to by the israeli Security Cabinet and palestinian militants. It has been described as � mutual and unconditional� and came into effect at two am local time. Its reported cairo will send Security Delegations to israel and the Palestinian Territories to help uphold the ceasefire. President biden has welcomed the cessation of hostilities, which he said presented an opportunity for progress in the Middle East. The United States is committed to working with the United Nations and we remain committed to working with the United Nations and other international stakeholders to provide rapid humanitarian assistance and a martial international support for the people of gaza and the gazan reconstruction efforts. We will do this in full partnership, with the Palestinian Authority, not hamas, the authority, in a manner that doesn not permit hamas to simply restock its military arsenal. I believe the palestinians and israelis equally deserve to live safely and securely and to enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity and democracy. My administration will continue our quiet relentless diplomacy toward that end. The bbc� s Paul Adams is in jerusalem and has the background. Jerusalem and has the backuround. , background. Israels Security Cabinet met background. Israels Security Cabinet met positive background. Israels Security Cabinet met positive several| cabinet met positive several hours and at The End of the meeting released a statement in which it was said they had agreed unanimously to an egyptian initiative or a bilateral ceasefire without preconditions. They went on to say they had reviewed israels great achievements in the campaign, some of which it said were unprecedented. Hamas officials, for their part, are quoted as saying they had secured guarantees from israel regarding the two flashpoints in jerusalem regarding the two Flashpoints Injerusalem that helped to trigger this crisis. The situation that Al Aqsa Mosque in the old city and also in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Char R. Israeli officials are quoted as saying those claims are nonsense and offered no such guarantees. We understand that egyptian officials will be arriving in Gaza And Israel fairly soon to discuss the Fine Print and clearly those negotiations will be important but the bottom line is that the two sides have agreed to stop these exchanges that have been going on for ii these exchanges that have been going on for 11 days, even after the announcement from the israeli side there were further extracts on gaza and also rockets fired into israel. And for a brief time, israels main airport was closed which i think was indicative of the sheer fragility of the situation at the moment. But the guns are going to fall silent. Of course none of that addresses the fundamental underlying issues between israel and the palestinians and unless those are addressed, it is a Racing Certainty that at some point in the future we will be here again. A hamas spokesman, hazem qassem, spoke to reporters after the truce between Israel And Hamas was agreed. Translation the resistance will be committed if the Zionist Regime is committed. We fought in this war to protect the Al Aqsa Mosque and the people. We will be committed as long as the israelis are committed to this ceasefire deal. Rula jebreal is visiting professor of international relation and global Politics Program at the the univeristy of miami. Shes in new york. The cessation of Aerial Offensive is critical and very important. However, all the root causes remain unsolved and rage on. You still have ethnic religious violence all over israel. This is a new development. We just had the the fourth election in two years and you have Bibi Netanyahu who was not supposed to form government, was unable to form government. Now, he might actually be able to form a government. All of his Corruption Charges for Bribery And Corruption will be put aside until probably he will be the caretaker in this government and they will. Crosstalk. But you also have Mahmoud Abbas, the 85 year old palestinian president , who has not held elections no palestinian under the age of sa has ever taken part in a national election. Youre absolutely right. However, Mahmoud Abbas is some kind of a mayor of ramallah or the occupied territories. The real president of the occupied territory is the israeli general who controls if Mahmoud Abbas leaves his home or doesnt leave his home, if Mahmoud Abbas can go out or travel or does not travel. And that israeli general takes orders from the israeli prime minister. So who controls the land from the sea, the mediterranean sea, to the Jordan River . Is israel. So if we look to who won this round, i would say Bibi Netanyahu. He managed to delay a new coalition to be replacing his government. He managed to take everybody back to the same point that this started. We had four wars in 14 years with gaza, and gaza is still under siege. Eastjerusalem people are being evicted, displaced. We still have now the occupied territories still under Occupation with 200 settlements and 600,000 settlers so the situation is escalating, its. Crosstalk. Who conceded what then, or was It Pressure from the United States that finally made israel halt this offensive . It was simply President Biden pressured by the Democratic Party especially the left wing of the Democratic Party. You have two senators in Congress 0ssoff and Bernie Sanders twojewish senators who are demanding a change of approach, a change of paradigm towards israel, and they are demanding from him them to tie the Military Aid 4 Billion to a set of conditions which means respect of Human Rights and international law. This is a new language. Its a pivot from what the Trump Approach used to be. The Trump Approach was take it all, total annexation, do whatever you want. And we saw Bibi Netanyahu emboldened by trump and by a group of people in the region, especially the gulf mbz, mbs and he thought that he could ignore the conflict. With this round of escalation, we saw that you cannot ignore the conflict because if you ignore it, actually it will fester, it will radicalise and we saw these horrific scenes all over israel synagogues, mosques, churches were burned, people were lynched in The Street so that means the conflict that is in the West Bank or in the occupied territories or in besieged gaza is now entering israel. And this is the new reality. Rula jebreal. We will be hearing from a liberal Plateau Israeli Group in a few minutes time. In other News Prince William has launched a scathing attack on the bbc, after a highly critical report into the way one of its Reporters Martin Bashir obtained an interview with diana, princess of wales in 1995. The duke of cambridge said the findings of the report by Lord Dyson had brought him indescribable sadness. In the 100 plus pages of his report Lord Dyson says Martin Bashir was deceitful in the way he obtained the interview. That the bbc� s own investigation at the time was woefully ineffective and that the bbc covered up what it actually knew about how the interview was obtained. Heres our Media Editor Amol rajan a warning, his report contains some flashing images. It was the interview of the century. Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded. Watched by almost 23 Million people, Martin Bashir� s panorama shocked the world. But only now do we know the real story behind the story. In a devastating critique of the bbc, Lord Dyson has laid bare a catalogue of of moral and editorialfailures. He says bashir was devious and dishonest, lying repeatedly to secure the interview and explain his conduct. Lord dyson says the Bbc Investigation into how the interview was obtained was woefully ineffective, and he adds, without justification, the bbc fell short of the high standards of Integrity And Transparency which are its hallmark, including by covering up press logs. Crucial information that it knew but didnt give to the media. Princess diana and Prince Charles were already separated at the time of the interview. Early in september 1995, bashir met Earl Spencer. He showed him fake Bank Statements to suggest payments had been made to informants around diana. Earl spencer introduced bashir to diana. This constituted a serious breach of the guidelines at the time. The interview aired, but soon journalists at the daily Mail Group and elsewhere started asking questions. A Bbc Investigation led by tony hall, later Director General, cleared bashir. But Earl Spencer was not approached, a big mistake, according to dyson. In august 1996, Prince Charles and Princess Diana she died a year later. And in panorama tonight, Earl Spencer explained the effect that bashir� s deception had. The first statements that i was shown, the first fake Bank Statements were to get my trust. The second set was to get to diana, and then to get the interview, so its a very clear chain from anyone logical� S Point of view. The irony is that i met Martin Bashir on the 31st of august, 1995, because exactly two years later she died. And i do draw a line between the two events. This is a young girl in her mid 30s who has lived this extraordinarily turbulent, difficult time in the public eye. She didnt know who to trust and, in The End, when she died two years later, she was without any form of real protection. Martin bashir won a bafta for the programme and spoke about it backstage afterwards. I can tell you, being 33 years old and facing up to the fact that actually you probably will never do another interview like that again in your life, you will never make a programme like that, and thats daunting. He left the bbc last week, having been rehired in 2016, and has long argued that diana would have agreed to speak to him without the fake Bank Statements. In a statement, bashir said Lord Hall of birkenhead who, as the director of bbc news, led the investigation into bashir� s conduct, and was, until last august, the bbc� s Director General apologised today and said that he was wrong to give bashir the benefit of the doubt. His successor was similarly contrite. There are multiple failures for the bbc to reflect on. 25 years ago, but still they are very serious and, if youre an organisation that cares about truthful, honestjournalism and proper practice, i think its a very difficult read. Do you think you will ever be queen . No, idont, no. Why do you think that . Id like to be a queen of peoples hearts, in peoples hearts, but i dont see myself being queen of this country. I tonight, the bbc has said that it has no plans to show the Panorama Interview in full again. Amol rajan, bbc news. A few hours ago, Prince William has made a statement from Kensington Palace after the report was released. Its highly unusual for a member of the Royal Family to speak out publicly like this. This is what he had to say. Id like to thank Lord Dyson and his team for the report. It is welcome that the bbc accepts Lord Dysons findings in full, which are extremely concerning that bbc employees lied and used fake documents to obtain the interview with my mother, made lurid and false claims about the Royal Family which played on herfears and fuelled paranoia, displayed woeful incompetence when investigating complaints and concerns about the programme, and were evasive in their reporting to the media and covered up what they knew from their internal investigation. It is my view that the deceitful way the interview was obtained substantially influenced what my mother said. The interview was a major contribution to making my Parents Relationship worse and has since hurt countless others. It brings indescribable sadness to know that the bbc� s failures contributed significantly to herfear, Paranoia And Isolation that i remember from those final years with her. But what saddens me most is that, if the bbc had stay with us on bbc news. Still to come celebrations on The Streets of gaza as israel and the palestinian militants agree to a ceasefire after 11 days of deadly conflict. This morning, an indian Air Force Plane carrying Mr Gandhis Body landed in delhi. The president Of India walked to the plane to solemnly witness Mr Gandhis final return from the political battlefield. Ireland has voted overwhelmingly in favour of gay marriage. In doing so, its become the first country in the world to approve the change in the national referendum. It was a remarkable climax to what was surely the most extraordinary funeral ever given to a pop singer. Its been a peaceful Funeral Demonstration so far but suddenly, the police are tear gassing The Crowd we dont yet know why the pre Launch Ritual is well established here. Helen was said to be in good spirits, butjust a little apprehensive. In the last hour, East Timor has become the worlds newest nation. It was a bloody birth for a poor country and the challenges ahead are daunting but for now, at least, it is time to celebrate. This is bbc news. The latest headline there have been celebrations on The Streets of gaza with the ceasefire between Israel And Hamas appearing to hold. Egypt Broker Deal came within microphone came after the deaths of hundreds, many of them palestinians. Im joined now by debra shushan, director of Government Affairs Forj Street a liberal pro israeli group. Thank a liberal pro israeli group. You forjoining us. The way thank you forjoining us. The way some people are commentating about the ceasefire, they are portraying it as a sort of diplomatic tryouts, an opportunity now for progress in the Middle East, those were the words ofJoe Biden. Do you see it like that . Before diplomatic triumph. It has to be an opportunity to move forward from the horrible state that the situation between israelis and palestinians have been in. Which obviously got tremendously worse over the four years that Donald Trump was president. During his very close relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu and the dramatic infringement of the Occupation. And this is a moment i think where the biden administration, which has not prioritised this issue, which is not prioritised the israeli palestinian conflict and has put it on the backburner and maybe not on the stove at all, it is a real moment for the biden administration to step up and for those of us in the United States who care about this issue to continue pushing very hard to make sure that the administration does that. He is talkin administration does that. He is talking about administration does that. He is talking about rearming administration does that. He is talking about rearming the administration does that. He is talking about rearming the iron dome, the Missile Defence System that has been so effective at stopping rockets coming from gaza into israel, and is also talking about working with Mahmoud Abbas or Fatah But Fatah is impotent in all of this, isnt it . It Fatah But Fatah is impotent in all of this, isnt it . All of this, isnt it . It is. Its interesting all of this, isnt it . It is. Its interesting to all of this, isnt it . It is. Its interesting to hear. Its interesting to hear President Biden say that he wants to work with the Palestinian Authority in the rebuilding of gaza. It is not clear how you do that and especially after palestinian elections, of course, did not happen and there was a possibility there that that would really help to unify the palestinian people, to bring together the Palestinian Authority, the plo, fatah and hamas, so it is not clear how you rebuild gaza through the Palestinian Authority. 0ne you rebuild gaza through the Palestinian Authority. One of the things i think we will have to note here is that this conflict, as previous rounds have as well, has really further weakened the moderates, has further weakened fatah which looks completely impotent through all of this and of course it was hamas that inserted itself into the conflict that was happening in eastjerusalem as the protector when fatah was unable to do so so unfortunately we have seen a real weakening of the moderates and Thats Something that the biden administration should absolutely address. His predecessor absolutely address. His Predecessor Donald Trump of course was talking about the deal of the century which really offered israel, paraphrasing everything, its a sword and very little for the palestinians so what is the long Term Solution here, bearing in mind as you say that Joe Biden and Antony Blinken did not want to focus on the palestinian conflict now, you know, their eyes are on other parts of the world . Parts of the world . Well, i think they parts of the world . Well, i think they are parts of the world . Well, i think they are going parts of the world . Well, i think they are going to parts of the world . Well, i l think they are going to have parts of the world . Well, i think they are going to have to end, look, we recognise fully that the biden administration has a lot of priorities, obviously they have a tremendous priority here at home domestically and other priorities in the world, the Middle East is not their chief Focus And Israel palestine isnt that you focus in the Middle East and that would be iran, right . But nonetheless the moment has come, the moment of realisation to be here for the biden administration that they, you know, but neglect is not a diplomatic policy and so going forward, what we think that the biden administration needs to do is first of all immediately appoint a senior Level Envoy to the conflict, we have senior Level Envoy is for other conflicts in the world, we have had one obviously in the past, in the previous administrations, and we should absolutely have one now as well. We immediately have to deal with this situation in gaza, the firing has stopped but the humanitarian tragedy there, which already, even before the latest round of warfare was tremendous. Absolutely has to be addressed and we really, we have two push for the easing and ultimately The Ending of the blockade on gaza and massive humanitarian relief right now. But more broadly speaking, we need to undo the tremendous damage of the trump administration, so thats going to include things like reopening the consulate in jerusalem, reaffirming that settlements are illegal, that De Facto annexation is illegal, and the core of all of this is the Occupation. This is a 54 Occupation'>Year Occupation and the biden administration is going to have to adopt a policy that addresses that Head On and part of that is ensuring that us aid to israel, almost 4 Billion of it a year which my organisation does support, as long as it is used for israels legitimate defence purposes, cannot be used for things like deepening the Occupation. We used for things like deepening the Occupation. Used for things like deepening the Occupation. We must leave it there, thanks the Occupation. We must leave it there, thanks indeed.

It brought some very powerful looking seas to the coastline of newquay in cornwall there, a look at the pretty impressive waves battering the coastline here and the strongest winds were around the coasts of south West England and wales. The strongest gusts were well into the 60s To Low 70s of miles an hour, peaking with a gust of 73 mph in Pembrey Sands in south wales. And, of course, it was pretty wet as well.

So weve got rain at the moment. The rains getting heavier, the winds a bit stronger across Eastern Scotland but for many of us, it will stay pretty blustery over the next few hours with those strong Gale Force gusts of wind pummelling the coasts and the hills. More rain to come as well. But its not too cold as we head into friday morning. Now, the wettest weather through the day will be across wales, northern england, Eastern Scotland. The rain not amounting to much for North West Scotland. It will ease off in Northern Ireland and there probably wont be that much in the south east, but the winds will be very strong, gusting to 50 60 mph around those English Channel coasts, perhaps 70 mph gusts somewhere like the needles, the West Coast of the isle of wight, just 13 in london.
