there have been international calls for an investigation into the incident, in which more than a hundred palestinians were reported killed. israel says its forces did open fire — but said most of the deaths happened in a crush. from jerusalem, our diplomatic correspondent paul adams reports. how were so many people injured? were they shot or crushed in a desperate stampede? gaza's shifa hospital treating just some of the survivors, and now, for the first time since thursday, first—hand testimony from the un. this hospital is treating more than 200 people that were injured. we have seen people with gunshot wounds we have seen amputees, and we have seen children as young as 12. these events cannot be allowed to go on. jehad is haunted by what he saw when the convoy arrived on thursday morning. "were the soldiers firing deliberately?" he's asked. "yes, with tanks, soldiers, aircraft." gunfire in the pre—dawn darkness, only the chaos was clear. how and why the shooting started is not yet properly understood. the crowds were huge, the panic palpable. israel said troops felt threatened. how, these pictures do not show. tanks were present. there is no evidence of aircraft being involved. the un finally reached gaza city yesterday, taking badly needed fuel and medicine to shifa hospital, demanding israel do more to open up the north. jordan is still dropping aid from the air. the united states now set to follow suit. desperate somehow to make a difference, but air drops are no substitute for a proper relief effort. no matter where we go into north gaza from, or indeed all of the gaza strip — it could be air, land, sea — it doesn't matter, as long as there is enough aid to help the more than 2 million people here. israel's closest allies are now sounding increasingly openly frustrated. aid flowing to gaza is nowhere nearly enough now, it is nowhere near enough. with each day that passes without enough aid, or a ceasefire, gaza's long agony goes on. bullets, bombs and hunger all now claiming lives. some news about the attacks that have been taking place on shipping vessels off the coast of yemen. the uk maritime trade agency says there's been an attack 15 nautical miles west of the yemeni port of mokha. the crew of the vessel has been evacuated. separately, the cargo ship rubymar, which was abandoned in the red sea after being targeted by houthi rebels has now sunk — that's according to the yemeni government. the government is expected to lay out measures in the coming weeks to tackle what it sees as rising extremism in the uk. it follows as uk prime minister rishi sunak warned that britain s democracy is under threat from islamist extremists and the far right. in an address outside downing street he said the government and country must face down the extremists. mr sunak�*s unexpected intervention follows the by—election victory of the controversial far left politician george galloway. our political correspondent laila nathoo reports. the prime minister arriving back at downing street last night, ahead of an unusual address to the country from outside number 10, to warn that extremists were spreading poison. there are forces here at home trying to tear us apart. since october the 7th, there have been those trying to take advantage of the very human angst that we all feel about the terrible suffering that war brings to the innocent, women and children. to advance a divisive, hateful ideological agenda. his speech was prompted by the election of the controversial veteran politician, george galloway, in thursday's by—election in rochdale. last night, he held a victory rally in his new constituency. he had fought his campaign promising to stand up for the people of gaza, and had this response to the prime minister's condemnation of his stance on the middle east. i won, and people are going to have to get used to it, don't ask me questions that you asked me all through the campaign. i won, and that argument is closed. my views were my views and they were endorsed by the electorate. rishi sunak said protests about the war in gaza had descended into intimidation, threats and planned acts of violence, and claimed democracy was being undermined. the labour leader sir keir starmer said that the prime minister was right to condemn unacceptable and intimidatory behaviour. but in describing george galloway�*s victory in rochdale as "beyond alarming," the prime minister also took aim at the uk's newest elected mp. jonathan hall kc, the independent reviewer of state threat legislation, gave his assessment on the prime minister's speech. i think that he was trying to say to the police, there's a big problem here. so i think he was trying to articulate the urgency of the situation as i think the government sees it and i think the opposition as well. when i say emergency, what i mean is the threats to mps in particular and the threats to public life. so it wasn't a speech where he was laying out, at least to my ear, some very precise policy solutions, but he was drawing attention to the problem. one of the questions here is around the definition, the simple language, what is extremism? and this is a position we've been in before when it comes to defining terrorism. what's the difference between terrorism and extremism? what do you expect the government to say on that front? well, i mean, terrorism, which is actually my main role is reviewing terrorism legislation, although it's criticised as being quite a broad definition, it seems to have stood the test of time. it's been the same since the year 2000 when it was brought into force. and that's where the direction of travel is, is serious violence, serious damage to property or threats, and done for a political and ideological or religious purpose. so i think we understand what terrorism is because it's got as its destination violence. the difficulty about extremism is that it's difficult to show, with much extremism, actually, that the ultimate destination is violence. and you could have someone who campaigns to bring about the end of democracy, but does so in a very peaceful way and says they don't use violence. and the government and this is not just this government, but it's true of, i think all governments it's gone back almost ten years now, has always struggled to put a definition on extremism, because it's not so much about the destination violence, which we understand, it's about the destination of something else. and i mean, the ways in which i've seen it, the attempts to define it, i think you can sort of do it in two ways. you can either say, what are the values that we hold dear in britain? and anyone who doesn't agree with those values is therefore an extremist. now, that is difficult because you might take, i don't know, as a touchstone tolerance towards people being gay now. i mean, the majority of people in the uk have no difficulty at all with being tolerant. but of course there are people, i mean, let's say people motivated by religious views could be, you know, 0rthodoxjews or christians or muslims who would say no. and that can't be a test of whether we are extremists. otherwise, you would literally be saying someone who believes that homosexuality is a sin, as some people unfortunately do, that you are an extremist. and it's always been quite hard to work out what those what those values are. so the other way of doing it is to say, let's look at the institutions, let's try and protect the institutions of the country against being undermined. that's also difficult because obviously our institutions include the monarchy, they include the house of lords. and you don't really, i think you can't really say that someone who campaigns for the abolition of the monarchy is therefore an extremist. that would encroach far too much, wouldn't it, into just free speech and free thought. it's interesting you touch on how tangible this is, because when i was listening to prime minister sunak�*s speech, i was thinking, if you copied and pasted this text and put it as a speech given by, say, the belarusian leader or president putin or china's president, many people would look at it and say, well, this is classic authoritarian language where it's entirely subjective what we define as a country's values and tolerances. how do we then square that with embodying this in legislation and actually acting it out in what is supposed to be a modern western democracy? i don't think that's fair. i don't think that the prime minister's speech was straight out of belarus. i mean, he stepped away from trying to really define what an extremist is. he raised the question, i think, but he didn't really answer it. i mean, ithink i personally prefer simplicity. and if you think about the group hizb ut—tahrir, who were always described as extremists, recently, they were banned. and the reason they were banned is because they were actually encouraging terrorism. another group that was a huge source of concern, al—muhajiroun, they were also proscribed. so, i mean, you don't have to be a violent group in order to be a terrorist group. and i think that the approach of terrorism, at least, at least we understand what it means, because it's really ultimately trying to prevent violence. as i said, the difficulty with extremism is working out what is it exactly you're trying to prevent or what is it exactly you're trying to encourage? do you actually think there is more extremism around? was this speech necessary at all? i think that there is a lot of open hatred at the moment. i mean, the internet, i'm afraid to say, is a morass of hatred and hostility. it's a really extraordinary place. but i think what's striking at the moment is that some of the sort of hostility towards people by category, so whether they're zionists or israelis orjews, is being shown openly on the streets. and i think that that is something that is is particularly brazen and different at the moment. so although i can't quantify the amount of extremism because there's a huge amount below the surface on the internet that we just don't, i don't know about anyway, i think the public display and the willingness to really be quite vile about people by category. so whether you're an israeli or a zionist or a jew. i think that is something that is that is new and is and is worrying. and, of course, you know, then people feed off it. unofficial figures from iran's parliamentary elections held on friday put the turnout at about 40% — which would be the lowest since the islamic revolution in 1979. iran's rulers had been pressing for high participation to help repair the regime's reputation after nearly two years of protests sparked by the death in custody of the young woman, mahsa amini. the election was essentially contested between hardliners and other conservatives, with most reformists excluded from participation. now it's time for a look at today's sport with gavin. we're under way in the saturday premier league matches, with some interesting games happening. liverpool can go four points clear at the top. they're up against nottingham forest. chelsea are looking to bounce back from defeat in the league cup final to liverpool. they're at brentford. it is goal listed all the matches that are under way. real madrid can extend their lead at the top of la liga in spain later, when they take on valencia, in the late match. madrid boss carlo ancelotti confimed england midfielder will play in the match, he's been missing with an ankle injury — missing their last three games. his side could go nine points clear, before second placed girona play on sunday. three other matches to tell you about in the spanish top flight. and climb to 14th... the idea of blue cards in football — sending professional players to a sin—bin — has been ruled out by fifa. football's rule—makers gathered in scotland for their annual general meeting — fifa president gianni infantino said he wanted to protect the essence of the game. no, there will not be any blue cards used at elite level. this is a topic that is nonexistent for us. fifa is completely opposed to blue cards. i was not aware of this topic, and i am the president of fifa, and i think fifa has a say in the ifab, so i do not know if you want the title, it is red card to the blue card, i don't know. the reigning olympic and world long jump champion — miltiadis tentoglou — has threatened to quit the discipline, if the rules change to eliminate fouljumps. tentoglou earlier today added the world indoor title in glasgow to his collection. the amendment proposed by world athletics involves introducting a take—off zone — to make it more appealing to fans, something the champion is very against. because of the board and the accuracy. it is one of the most difficult sports. the jump itself is very easy, the hard part is the run up, not many people see it but i guarantee you it is like that. so they want to remove this and after this long jump will be the easiest event, anyone will be able to do long jump. so my second comment is, if that happens, i will not do long jump any more. strong words from the champion there. defending champion alex de minaur is through to the final of the mexico 0pen, following the retirement of britian�*s jack draper in the third set of their semifinal. draper had levelled the game at one set all to take it all the way to a decider in acapulco. the 22—year—old had already recieved treatment from the physio and tournament doctor before retiring at four games to love, in the final set. and he'll face casper ruud — who rallied from a set down to beat the second seed holger rune. ruud lost the first 6—3 but battled back to win the next two. he was a break down in the third set, taking advantage when rune appeared to be slowed by cramping. newcastle have gone one up in their game. formula i is under way, the first race of the season. live updates from the bbc sport website. max verstappen in the lead at the moment. in the coming month india is going to the polls, in what's expected to be the largest democratic elections in the world. the rise in popularity of india's prime minister narendra modi and the bjp in the last ten years, has in part been due to a weak opposition that has failed to raise the voice of the people or effectively corner the government on crucial issues. a united front of opposition parties formed last year is developing cracks, with key allies deserting them. in these circumstances, the main challenger to prime minister modi remains the indian national congress. its leader rahul gandhi has been on a country—wide roadshow, to try and reclaim hope for india's opposition. arunoday mukherjee reports. this is the man seen as the opposition�*s hope to take on prime minister narendra modi. congress leader rahul gandhi is traveling across the country asking voters what they want. this is a question you will have to ask yourselves every day. unemployment, inflation. this is your future. well, going by the support over here, it seems like a vote of confidence, at least from the supporters of rahul gandhi for the congress party. this is a very significant, politically significant constituency of a meeting which has always belonged to the gandhi family. for 15 years, rahul gandhi represented this seat. before that, his mother, his father, his uncle. so it's really remained with the gandhi family, until 2019, in a shock defeat, the congress party lost to the bjp over here. so can he win them back? and away from the noise of the campaign trail for generations, his family has voted for the congress. but even staunch loyalists like shabir feel the party is not doing enough. nothing will change if they don't raise our issues. rahul gandhi needs to roar like other politicians. he's a good man, but that's not enough. if he speaks with more conviction, it will be good for him, for the party and for us. since india's independence, the congress party dominated the country's political landscape from 400 seats in parliament in the 1980s they were down to 52 in the 2019 elections. to counter the bjp's rising popularity, injuly last year, opposition parties joined hands to form a united front. if this alliance wins, our country will win. but in less than a year, there are cracks in the alliance. key partners have left, joining the bjp, and others are bickering over seats. you're not worried about these differences? i'm not worried. these are differences. we have to recognise they are differences. but a divided house isn't going to be house divided. we are a house with multiple voices, but multiple voices of dissent as well. not necessarily dissent, divergent points of view. these differences, though, are casting a doubt in voters. the most raw, yet nuanced political conversations in india often happen at these kind of tea stalls. it's the best way to get a pulse of what people are thinking. since i became eligible to vote, i have only voted for the congress. but last time we voted for the bjp. i asked them, the bjp has one face, narendra modi, but the opposition hasn't projected anyone. do you think they should? absolutely. that's what we are thinking. there has to be a face that this is our candidate. there is no leader here who can take our problems to rahul gandhi. they need to build our roads. there is no bigger issue for us than this. it's another snapshot of the hunting prowess of one of the ocean's most impressive predators. victoria gill, bbc news. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. it was quite a start to the day for some of us. a covering of snow here and there, a reminder that perhaps winter isn't quite over yet, although we are now technically into meteorological spring. rest of the day, widespread showers, often cloudy and the air over us is pretty chilly. but notice the winds coming in from different so the showers swirling around, but big gaps between the clouds as well. so there will be some clear weather, clear skies i think into this evening across a number of areas. so here's the forecast then, 11:00, you'll notice that most of the showers and the thick cloud will be across parts of central and northern england into southern parts of scotland. a chilly evening, some spots only around 2 to 4 degrees celsius. and clear skies developing in the south as well as across central and more western parts of scotland. so the showers or the more longer spells of rain, they move northwards across eastern scotland through the night. elsewhere, the skies will be clearing tonight. temperatures in many areas will be around freezing or below, certainly outside of town. coastal areas won't be quite so cold. certainly not in aberdeen, closer to five, say, in the morning. now, here's the forecast for sunday — weather systems to the east and to the north of us. these weather fronts and i think actually sunday is going to be overall a brighter day for many of us. fewer showers around with these weather fronts to the north and to the east. so i think feeling a little bit less cold on sunday. now, the temperatures will be about the same, maybe a couple of degrees higher in some areas, but typically around 8 to 10 celsius. that takes us into monday's weather forecast. and during the night, early hours, another weather system sweeps in off the atlantic. that spells thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain for south western parts of england. eventually wales, that rain will spread across ireland during the day. but notice that from eastern scotland along that north sea coast, all the way towards east anglia, monday should be dry and bright. so some sunshine for places like newcastle and hull, but rain for plymouth. and the outlook for the week ahead. a bit of a mixed bag. there will certainly be some sunshine around. it might feel a little bit less cold with those temperatures up to 12 degrees, but certainly a real mixed bag on the way. this is bbc news, the headlines: the un says many of those injured when crowds rushed to an aid convoy in gaza on thursday suffered gunshot wounds. hamas accused israel of firing at civilians — israel said most died in a stampede after troops fired warning shots. rishi sunak says islamist and far—right extremists are "two sides of the same coin". speaking outside number 10, the prime minister expressed concern over recent protests, saying the uk had to "stand together" to "combat the forces of division". three people have been injured in a shooting in clapham in south london. the incident happened in a busy area, full of restaurants and bars, next to clapham common. so far there have been no arrests. counting begins in iran's parliamentary elections. officials say the turnout was about 40% — the lowest since the islamic revolution in 1979. these are the first elections since anti—government protests were held in 2022. the world changed on october 7th. etched into all our memories are scenes from the nova music festival — where hamas launched some of its most brutal attacks. hundreds of people killed, many others were taken hostage. now, a documentary featuring eyewitness accounts and testimony from survivors, is getting its uk premiere. earlier i spoke to noa kalash — who survived that day, but two of her close friends were killed.
