Biggests mysteries. Hello, im rajini vaidyanathan, welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out with the un warning that gaza faces famine and that children are dying from hunger, efforts are ramping up to get more aid into the besieged strip, but alongside that, tragic reports coming in that five people have been killed by an air drop of aid after the parachute failed to open. And in the past few hours, a potential breakthrough, the uk says it will join potential breakthrough, the uk says it willjoin the us and other allies to create a maritime corridor to deliver essential its a gaza. A joint statement from the uk and the us and the eu and cyprus and the uae said this it went on to say. The plan as we know it is to establish a Shipping Route which would get aid from cyprus to gaza by c, working with the un to facilitate and co ordinate and monitor and verify the flow of aid. Initial shipments would arrive via cyprus, where is really Securities Inspection would take place. News of the maritime corridor follows President Biden and not spent any State Of The Union Speech Last Night that the us military would set up a Temporary Port In Gaza to allow more aid to be delivered. More on that in the us military would set up a Temporary Port In Gaza to allow more aid to be delivered. More on that in aid to be delivered. More on that in a moment, but let us hearfrom the British Foreign secretary, lord cameron, was spoken about this latest announcement. We cameron, was spoken about this latest announcement. Cameron, was spoken about this latest announcement. We have been involved in this latest announcement. We have been involved in this maritime latest announcement. We have been involved in this maritime corridor involved in this maritime corridor from the start because what it will do is take aid from cyprus in the mediterranean and directly into gaza. What we have been doing is helping with the prescreening of aid, so you check it in cyprus, so it doesnt have to be rechecked when it doesnt have to be rechecked when it it arrives on that which is important. We had and exhorted the ship delivering aid from cyprus right in the start but this new idea from the president of the united states, which we are involved in, building a temporary harbour in gaza, it means aid can go directly from cyprus to gaza, which will take time to build. The crucial thing is that today the israelis must confirm the old open the port in israel, a working port that can take aid now and increase the amount of aid which can then be driven into gaza, which will make a real difference right now. � will make a real difference right now. ~ ,. ,. ,. , will make a real difference right now. ,. ,. ,. ,. , now.

In the last few days, weve averaged about 120 trucks a day, we need more like 500 a d. , not 120, and we have called on the israel is to change the things that need to be changed, more openings into gaza and more un staff into gaza to transport the aid around gaza and making sure they switch back on the water and electricity that goes from israel to gaza. These things will make a difference. If we want to make a difference. If we want to make a difference quickly, it is a number of trucks that go in that is most important.

Hamas should sign that today, then we could have that pause for 45 days or maybe even longer and use that pause to build amends for a permanent and sustainable cease fire without a return to fighting. We all want to see the fight and stop, and that will be the best way to make it happen, but it is for hamas to make that decision and they should do that decision and they should do that today.

You can see, obviously it is shaky of course, and you can see the impact on the ground as well, and we know in a number of parachutes failed to fully open. , you can see aid parcels voluntary from the parachutes to the ground. That footage there, wonder if we can play it once more, just showing that aid being dropped there, now, the incident is said to have happened in a camp in northern gaza. Just reassuring that footage that the team at bbc verify have confirmed its authenticity, and it shows aid being dropped from a cargo plane, a number of parachutes failed to fully open. You can see the chaos on the gone grown there as well. There is aid being dropped. And what we have heard from our partners at cbs news in america and from the hamas run has ministry in gaza, also saying that five People Killed on friday when at least one of those parachutes failed to properly deploy any parts of fellow.

Im assuming your organisation does air drops, so you know about the challenges and mechanics, talk us through how Something Like this, we have seen the videos, we verify the video, but something that this is confirmed to have killed that many people, talk us through what might� ve happened and gone wrong. It is us through what mightve happened and gone wrong and gone wrong. It is difficult for me to enter and gone wrong. It is difficult for me to enter into and gone wrong. It is difficult for me to enter into this and gone wrong. It is difficult for me to enter into this kind and gone wrong. It is difficult for me to enter into this kind of me to enter into this kind of discussion because we are not primarily involved in airdrop in, after say any effort to bring it is welcome in such a desperate humanitarian situation as in gaza nowadays, but ourfirst humanitarian situation as in gaza nowadays, but our first preferred option is the land, and are primary focus is the rafa border, where we are working with organisations that you bring it in. In the case of aid drop in, i dont have any information about that. Lets talk about aid, information about that. Lets talk about aid. We information about that. Lets talk about aid, we have information about that. Lets talk about aid, we have heard information about that. Lets talk about aid, we have heard from i information about that. Lets talk. About aid, we have heard from the information about that. Lets talk about aid, we have heard from the uk and the us and the eu and other allies and of course cyprus, that there this maritime corridor will stop tell us how you think this will work and how it would help you distribute aid. I work and how it would help you distribute aid. Distribute aid. I think there are a coule of distribute aid. I think there are a coople of good distribute aid. I think there are a couple of good news distribute aid. I think there are a couple of good news here, distribute aid. I think there are a couple of good news here, if distribute aid. I think there are a l couple of good news here, if there is any good news in such a desperate situation. The first one is there is a momentum where different partners want to show that they want to scale up want to show that they want to scale up the efforts to bring it inside gaza. The second one as i heard in the pieces that you broadcast in a few minutes ago, is that there is a common understanding of the importance of enlarging the entrance of humanitarian aid, but also the path of this distribution. Of course, any efforts are welcome, this maritime corridor, we need to see exactly what it means. I would say that what i want to underline is exactly what we said when the rough are border was open, it is not enough to open a border, it is not enough to open a border, it is not enough for a maritime corridor, which is again very important month but the second part is how the logistics will work and how you take on challenges inside gaza, and the first challenge is insecurity. If you dont have access, which we dont as the moment in the north of gaza, Hundreds Of Thousands of people will not receive anything. Very important for this discussion and dialogue, but the Security Deposit in gaza is very important as well to discuss. Well to discuss. Speaking of the louistics, well to discuss. Speaking of the logistics. We well to discuss. Speaking of the logistics, we understand well to discuss. Speaking of the logistics, we understand that i well to discuss. Speaking of the i logistics, we understand that this aid would be inspected by israel just if before it is distributed. You know why that might involve . Difficult for me to speculate about something im hearing in the last few hours, and i would say that as many other situations when there are conflicts, situations, the parties, or one of the parties, there is any agreement on making sure the aid answer and is not caring carrying any other issue. The hope, i mean, really, theres a bit of frustration on my side with keep repeating it within the last months that we need to increase the flow of humanitarian aid to make it also possible to plan the distribution in a safe and effective way. When you have one day a few trucks entering another they 20 trucks on the other day at 100 trucks, without access to many parts of gaza, is difficult to deliver, so the humanitarian agencies can do a lot, we are ready to scale up and save lives and alleviate suffering, but we need the agreement of the other parties to do so. Other parties to do so. Tommasso della other parties to do so. Tommasso delia longa. Other parties to do so. Tommasso della longa, thank other parties to do so. Tommasso della longa, thank you other parties to do so. Tommasso della longa, thank you for other parties to do so.

Authorities say they are throwing everything at trying to find these children but abducted just over 24 children but abducted just over 2a hours ago. Sitting in an assembly when armed men rode into their school compound, a Primary And Secondary School side by side, just separated by 89 entries, and apparently there are assailants round these children enter them into a nearby forest wassup some of them managed to escape, as well as the teachers. They say that they then tried to get local militias, vigilante groups, to go after the children. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and one of the Community Members that went after them was killed. We� ve also now gotten news that a teenager that was a pupil at the school was also killed. In kaduna in northwestern nigeria. The area where it happens is dominated by a group called ansaru. It� s a fraction, a Splinter Group of boko haram. And here in the northeast, some of the women who were taken, who were able to make their way back to this camp for internally displaced people, said that it was boko haram fighters that had taken the dozens of women or children that went missing late last week. They were out Gathering Firewood by their camp when they disappeared. Next month is going to be ten years since there� s 276 girls were taken from their dormitory, from their school in chibok. And it� s interesting that as the anniversary is looming closer, we� re seeing a resurgence in these kind of mass kidnappings, because i think it has to be said they hadn� t really happened a lot in the last couple of years. The last big one like this was in 2021. Although nigerians were still being kidnapped, they were in much smaller numbers. And so it� s interesting that as the chibok anniversary is coming by, we� re seeing a resurgence in this kind of attack which always brings so much publicity to boko haram.

Today is the tenth anniversary of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370, one of the aviation industry� s greatest mysteries. The boeing 777 airliner carrying 239 people vanished on a routine flight to beijing. Radar and Satellite Data showed it Veering Off Route and heading to the southern indian ocean. The families of those on board have been campaigning for a Search For Mh370 to be resumed. It was suspended six years ago and the malaysian government says it is negotiating with an american underwater Surveillance Company to start looking again.

Today looking very similar to how it was yesterday, still of cloud around for places but brighter now with some sunshine across the south of england, east anglia in particular, lots of blue skies here in norwich. And more sunny spells for Western Wales and northwest scotland, where it� s set to continue through the rest of the day. But a brisk and chilly Easterly Wind blowing for most of us and it will stay dry. Low pressure along the south with milder air. Chilly air across much of the uk and High Pressure towards the north and the east. Drawing in this wind still from the north sea. Quite cloudy with spots of drizzle for areas of northeastern england and Eastern Scotland but the cloud breaking up a little and still in exposure to that brisk, Easterly Wind, it� s going to feel rather chilly. More blustery winds towards the southwest of devon and cornwall and rain here too by the end of the day. Temperatures ranging between six and 11 celsius. 0vernight, drawing in a lot more in the way of cloud so not quite as cold as last night. These areas of Rain Pushing Northwards across the southwest of england and into Western Wales by tomorrow. Perhaps a touch of localised frost in the central glens of scotland but for most of us, a frost free night. Low pressure towards the south and the west pushing further northwards through saturday, so none of this rain is likely to be particularly heavy but some spots at times across parts of wales, into northern england, Northern Ireland and heavier downpours across southwest england. Lots of dry weather around too, the brisk, Easterly Wind making it feel colder than these numbers suggest. Rather windy again on sunday, keeping that Easterly Wind. A lot more in the way of rain on sunday, mostly across england, wales, Northern Ireland. Some Rain Pushing Into Southern Scotland but scotland looking a lot drier on sunday, mother� s day, temperatures once again 6 11 degrees. As we head into the start next week, not quite so windy, the winds easing down as low pressure pulls away. A lot of dry weather next week and we will start to draw in more south westerly winds so temperature starting to rise through the week and feeling a little milder. Bye bye. This is bbc news, the headlines. Five people are killed in gaza by a drop into the strap or by air. A new c corridor was due to begin operations on sunday.
