to a lack of fuel as israel continues its military operation there. communications are also down for a second day in the enclave. the un's biggest agency in gaza says it is no longer able to bring in and distribute aid. as of this morning, no aid has come in as of this morning and this is due to the lack of fuel. so if we get in a shipment of fuel, yes, we will be able to go up to the border and pick up those trucks of much—needed supplies. but we need fuel for that. live now to geneva to speak to dr margaret harris, a spokesperson for the world heath organization. the un is telling us they are begging for fuel right now. can you explain what happens in a hospital when there is no fuel or power? fix, when there is no fuel or power? hospital then is really reduced to a first aid station if you have no power. all you can do a google is look at what the problem is and try to pat somebody up, but you can't do surgery, you can't do any of the life—saving things because you won't even have lights. you have seen the pictures of doctors trying to work by the lights of their phones. you are really limited to the most basic things. as a doctor, as a nursery will still do your level best, but you will be faced with knowing you could save this live or returned this child to a state where they could recover and become an able—bodied person again, but this won't happen simply because you lack the means of giving the care that you are there to give.— the means of giving the care that you are there to give. when you say at basic patch _ you are there to give. when you say at

water is not running, just to be able to continually clean wounds. sure, i have patched up your wound but if you don't keep it clean and covered it will get infected and it'll be the infection kills you. the patient who are coming in have massive burns, very dirty ones from being under rubble and all the other things that happen when you have an explosion wouldn't, so even if you pat somebody up,

the garbage, again, the garbage services, they can't supply them now because they can't power them now because they can't power the trucks. we have 400 tonnes of garbage a day accumulating. this is in the camps, i can't even tell you about the hospitals. everywhere you have huge amounts of waste accumulating. if you have a vast number of people coming in you will have much more medical waste than

not working again because of the lack of power, this sewage is overflowing in the streets and we now have the rain is coming, so that will increase the amount of sewage. we are seeing 44,000 cases of diarrhoea, and that is in an underestimate, those are only the cases we can count. and we are seeing cases ofjaundice, which we are assuming is hepatitis stop more than 20,000 of those cases are in children underfive. they more than 20,000 of those cases are in children under five. they are also starving. they are going to die very quickly. the number of people who will die from diseases may

in las vegas turned into a nightmare for organisers. the first session was halted after only nine minutes after a manhole cover came loose causing damage to two cars and forcing a delay while all manhole covers around the street circuit were checked. formula ijournalist chris medland told us more about the incident and the chaos it's caused to the schedule. 0ne sense what's happened here with the failure with the train covers being pulled up. it's happened before. it's happened in azerbaijan about four years ago, in monaco more recently. and as the cars get more and more performant, they do actually suck things like drain covers up from the ground and they do try and secure them. these were cemented down, but that cement failed and it fell out. now, in a sense, you only really find out when a formula 0ne car runs over it. there's nothing else comparable. so everything's done in the attempt to make sure it wouldn't happen. but the issue here has been that when it did happen, it happened and caused huge damage to two cars. so a whole new chassis had to be replaced on colour switches, car and knock ons. but tests were done yesterday on the track. just again, unless you run an f1 car on it, you're not going to find out. but then the knock on effect because of the time zone here they were running the second practice session was meant to be midnight to one a:m.. midnight to 1am. it's all been pushed back. that's been been really damaging and really disrupted. but fans have been asked to leave the circuit because staff couldn't be kept here all night. so there's going to be no one really watching it here, which is not gone down well locally, i can tell you that. but the second practice session has been extended by half an hour to try and make up for lost time earlier. so in a sense, the teams shouldn't lose out on too much running as long as the track does hold up now. and all the repairs that have been done have been done to the right standard. it will mean a very late finish. we're going to be looking at 4 a.m. we're going to be looking at 4am. local time, finish for what should have been one a.m., but the rest of the schedule is currently unchanged, so itjust means a shorter night for everyone and get back and do practice and qualifying tomorrow. after weeks of haggling, spain's socialist leader, pedro sanchez, has clinched a vote in parliament to lead the country for another term as prime minister. hundreds have taken to the streets to protest, with concerns that his proposed amnesty deal for hundreds of politicians and activists will trigger another bid for secession and threaten spain's territorial unity. we can cross live now to madrid and speak with our reporter guy hedgecoe. there have been weeks of political uncertainty and haggling. how are people feeling now that pedro sanchez has been sworn in? well, in theory there — sanchez has been sworn in? well, in theory there is _ sanchez has been sworn in? well, in theory there is more _ sanchez has been sworn in? well, in theory there is more stability - theory there is more stability because we do finally have a government in place. we haven't had a proper government in place since the election injuly. pedro sanchez has been sworn in, but that doesn't calm the anger i think of many spaniards, certainly the political opposition, who insist that this amnesty law is unconstitutional, that it undermines the rule of law, they allege, and it discriminates against the rest of the country, people who are not catalan, saying it is given preferential treatment to catalan. people have been out on the streets. the opposition continues to say that this amnesty should not be allowed. we are going to see protests continue over the coming days, coming weeks possibly. there is a big one lined up tomorrow in central madrid. there is a feeling that the instability continues because of that pressure from outside and also pressures within mr sanchez�*s new governing majority which is after all pretty fragile. d0 majority which is after all pretty frauile. ,, ~ , fragile. do you think this new amnesty deal _ fragile. do you think this new amnesty deal

is one of the accusations, - from people in catalonia? that is one of the accusations, that - from people in catalonia? that is. one of the accusations, that critics of the amnesty law have made. they say that apart from being unconstitutional that it threatens the territorial unity of spain because it is encouraging future bids for independence, whether by catalan nationalists or basque nationalists. you can say they are trying to break away from spain as they did in 2017 with that referendum that was deemed illegal. you can do that and there will be any legal repercussions from it. so thatis any legal repercussions from it. so that is the claim. mr sanchez has insisted this will calm the atmosphere in catalonia. a bloated, today from the catalan government suggesting that support for pro—independence catalan parties had dropped slightly and if there was an election in catalonia today they would no longer control the catalan parliament. it also showed that there was 60% support in catalonia for the amnesty. if you go across spain, support for the amnesty seems to be much lower than that. certainly mr sanchez is claiming that within catalonia this amnesty will pay off and improve the political climate.— will pay off and improve the olitical climate. ~ . , �*, political climate. what has been's 'udicia political climate. what has been's judiciary had _ political

in the build—up to this investiture and to the presentation of the amnesty law. manyjudges saying that they didn't like it, that they felt it undermined the separation of powers. that has been one of the groups that have been critical of the amnesty law in the last few weeks, thejudiciary. not alljudges have been against it but the fact that manyjudges have spoken out against the law and against this investiture on the back of it is yet another problem for mr sanchez. 0ne another problem for mr sanchez. one of his challenges perhaps will be to try and reassure spain's judges that this is a completely legal, constitutional legislative project. to ukraine now, where nearly 20,000 men have fled the country since the beginning of the war to avoid being drafted. a further 21,000 have tried to leave, but were caught by the ukrainian authorities — that's according to a bbc eye investigation. since russia's invasion, ukraine has banned men of fighting age from leaving unless they have a valid exemption. zhanna betziapuk has more on how some men are managing to escape with the help of corrupt officials. stopped by border police, the men are ordered onto their knees. for ukrainians without a military exemption, crossing the border illegally is the most popular way of escaping the draft. some get caught, but for much of this war, dozens of men have managed to flee this way every day. using freedom of information requests, bbc eye has established that the most common route out is over ukraine's border with moldova. in a refugee centre in moldova, we meet erik, a musician who is hoping to go to the us to be reunited with his family. he's arrived from ukraine on foot. translation: ijust looked at the map. i i heard rumors about where to go, took risk and it worked out. erik says he has a serious health condition but wasn't granted a medical exemption, commonly known as a white ticket. translation: i tried to process the documents for six months, l but no—one allowed me to do it. my patience ran out and i decided to leave this way. we heard that some men are paying substantial bribes to obtain a white ticket. to find out more, we ask the local journalists to pretend to be a man who wants to leave ukraine. a quick search reveals at least six groups offering help on the messaging app telegram. 0ur undercover journalist contacts one of them and is soon offered a white ticket. officials at these centres work closely with military doctors to decide who can get a medical exemption. they sent me an example of this white ticket. for me, this document looks real. probably they know somebody at that office. so this is corruption. the bbc showed its findings to a senior politician from the ruling party. translation: we're doing our best to reduce the number— of corruption cases. those who try to avoid mobilisation are about 1—5%. they are definitely not critical to the defense of ukraine. ukraine doesn't release official figures on the size of its army, but says it has over 800,000 troops. as this conflict turns into a war of attrition, ukraine will need all the soldiers it can get. everton have just received a ten point deduction applied immediately. this is because they have been found to be in breach of the premier league's profit and sustainability rules. this punishment is the biggest sporting sanction in the history of the competition and leaves everton 19th in history of the competition and leaves everton19th in the table. we have hurt as well from the club, saying it was shocked and disappointed by what they have called the wholly disproportionate and unjust ruling. everton also saying they intend to appeal this decision. so everton docked ten points after being found of breaching premier league financial fair play rules. the biggest points deduction in the competition's history. to australia now where thousands of teenagers have taken the day off school to attend climate protests across the country after receiving unofficial permission to take a sick day from top climate experts. the self—described "climate doctors" released sick notes that could be personalised for each student, noting stress and feelings of despair over the climate emergency. australia's eductaion minister said students should not miss school to attend the protests. the students are calling for more concrete action to battle climate change, including the cancellation of gas and coal projects. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. we're helping about 150 to 200 families week on week now. that is a huge average. at the bottom of this poverty there's a small child and that child needs help, so that's what we do. emily only thought her baby bank would last a couple of weeks and finish once the donations dried up, but almost five years on many struggling families rely on it. they're not coming because they're flash. because they've got lots of things. they're coming because they're desperate, because they need a winter coat for their child, a pair of sturdy shoes. they're coming because they're facing incredibly difficult, challenging and circumstances and theyjust need that little bit of help. sarah knows how many of these families feel. she came here after her baby was born. my baby was six—weeks—old and i needed a sling for her. i didn't have £40, £50 for a sling. but now she volunteers for the charity, helping families who are in the same situation. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. the first new nhs guidance on treating menopause in almost a decade says talking therapy should be offered to help women cope with symptoms. the watchdog nice says cognitive behavioural therapy, or cbt, can be an alternative to hormone replacement therapy for women suffering from poor sleep, hot flushes and mood changes. let's bring in dr louise newson, a gp and menopause specialist, to talk more about this. very good to see you. thoughts on this draft guidance? it is very good to see you. thoughts on this draft guidance?— this draft guidance? it is good that has been updated _

this draft guidance? it is good that i has been updated because it is eight years old so it is time for a refresh. it is very disappointing that we are talking about cognitive behavioural therapy so much. it is just one psychological treatment. we see 90% of women who come to our clinic have psychological symptoms. these hormones have big roles in our brains. so there is brain fog, memory loss, anxiety, perversely, reduced concentration, low energy. cbt has ruled the same as other treatments have
