Hello, welcome to the programme. Final preparations are under way to send the first shipment of aid by sea to gaza. Humanitarian organisations are co ordinating a delivery of about 200 tonnes of food and medical supplies, which will go via a Maritime Corridor with israels agreement. But its unclear how or where the boat will actually dock, and even if the aid does arrive, some groups are warning of problems in distributing the aid across gaza. Wyre davies reports from jerusalem. In the cypriot port of larnaca, they have been working around the clock. The spanish ship, open arms, is preparing to tow a barge with 200 tonnes of food with medical aid all the way to gaza. Its a precarious, untested plan with obvious risks. Translation yes, we will tow this platform to gaza, where The Last Mile will be the most complicated operation. The disembarkation will be done on a pier that is being built right now by the world central kitchen. How the aid will be unloaded into gaza, where there is no port orfunctioning harbour, is not clear. Air drops and some Land Deliveries are often swamped by thousands of desperate, hungry people. Some aid agencies say that the plan is misguided and ineffective. The humanitarian crisis is worsening by the day. The un says there is a danger of famine, and children are already reported to be dying from malnutrition. All of this is happening because israel and hamas have been unable to agree a ceasefire that would have allowed more aid in by road through israel still the preferred, most effective route. And the fighting continues. At least ten people were reported to have been killed today in an air strike on a refugee camp in central gaza. Israel, despite growing International Pressure for a truce, says the Military Campaign is not yet over. Wyre davies, bbc news, jerusalem. Meanwhile, supplies of aid continue to be dropped into gaza. These pictures were shot in gaza city, in the north of the territory. The us dropped more than 41,000 meals and more than 20,000 bottles of water. The area was where the Israeli Military began its operations, following the hamas attack on the 7th of october, and there have been warnings of malnutrition, and the possibility of famine there. Several Aid Organisations have reported difficulties in delivering supplies to gazas north, and there have been reports of chaos and violence when convoys of aid have driven there, as People Struggle to secure food and other essential items. Around 300,000 gazans have been reported to be there at the moment. Aid organisations have warned that airdrops simply cannot meet the need on the ground. Lets cross now giorgios petropoulos, the head of the uns office for the Co Ordination of humanitarian affairs gaza. Thank you so much for your time and joining the programme. We have been talking about this effort to build a temporarily floating port, and the pentagon has said it would take 60 days. It is of course needed for a ship to actually dock there. Knowing the humanitarian need, what is your reaction to that timeline . The humanitarian need, what is your reaction to that timeline . Thank you for havin reaction to that timeline . Thank you for having me reaction to that timeline . Thank you for having me. It reaction to that timeline . Thank you for having me. It is reaction to that timeline . Thank you for having me. It is true reaction to that timeline . Thank you for having me. It is true that reaction to that timeline . Thank you for having me. It is true that they i for having me. It is true that they were continuous, we have had more than 100,000 casualties now and we have about 300,000 people in north gaza, somewhere around there. At risk of starvation. 60 days is obviously way too long. I think this is understood by everyone trying to find solutions and at this point we are open to any kind of intervention that well turner is back from this terrible brink of malnutrition turn us back. While airdrops are not enough, while the real only viable option of providing enough food and water, specialised medical supplies and a lot of other equipment and aid thatis and a lot of other equipment and aid that is required is en route, organisations like world central kitchen, using seabird roots, we hope it becomes a viable option. The issueis hope it becomes a viable option. The issue is time. The issue is time. And youre saying the issue is time, when the only viable option is truly focusing on those land routes as well, what do you need, what to aid groups need to ensure aid can get to gazanis groups need to ensure aid can get to gazan is a safetybecause organisations like the World Food Programme have been saying it is very dangerous further aid convoys on the ground . There has been a lot of time lost discussing and negotiating access routes, especially to north gaza and we have essentially boiled those down to two checkpoints that are assertive on the wadi that bisects gaza. Getting the wadi that bisects gaza. Getting the amount of trucks required through those checkpoints, in what is essentially a war zone is simply, i guess by now we have discovered, too complicated and complex and effort. We have been calling for it we have been calling for more crossings to open, it is viable and i think to be frank, if we had done this weeks ago, we would not be where we are now. We this weeks ago, we would not be where we are now. This weeks ago, we would not be where we are now. We have seen deaths of children, where we are now. We have seen deaths of children, dozens where we are now. We have seen deaths of children, dozens of deaths of children, dozens of children from malnutrition. It has been preventable. We have not prevented it and it is tragic. find prevented it and it is tragic. And what about prevented it and it is tragic. And what about security . The us has made clear they will not put any bits on the ground. What is being done to ensure the security of those tracks . Any boots on the ground. Do you need help from any other states . The securi of need help from any other states . The security of food need help from any other states . Tta security of food going need help from any other states . Tt2 security of food going to north gaza is a vicious circle, we have to feed people enough so that they are not in this terrible ordeal of having to feed themselves and running out after the first food they see. But in order to do that we need security. It is a war zone, you see air strikes every day. There is fighting, parts of north gaza where people are not safe and they will not go there. And so at this point, we need this answer to be taken seriously as the only option to get food inside. In terms of boots on the ground, i can tell you, and i understand as you said already, there are more than one maritime option, but for now, we are working from our side on continuing to try to resolve at the land option. Mil to resolve at the land option. All riuht. To resolve at the land option. All right. Georgios petropoulos from the un, thank you so much for your time. I want to bring you some live pictures from tel aviv. We have been monitoring the situation from throughout the night. These are live protests of Anti Government protests in tel aviv, these protests will not be new to Benjamin Netanyahu, there have been several in recent weeks, which is why there has been a Police Presence in the area to contain them. A lot of people there, protesters there have been insisting on Benjamin Netanyahu resigning. They are calling for fresh elections, dissatisfied with any word. And of course, Benjamin Netanyahu is under increased pressure when it comes to getting the remaining hostages in gaza back home safely. Hostage families have also been demanding more results and are concerned about the safety of their loved ones. The government, of course, says Military Action is the best way to get those hostages home. We will keep bringing you those pictures throughout the night as that Police Presence there continues to respond to protests. Those are happening regularly in tel aviv now. Here, thousands of people joined a pro palestinian rally in london. It was the tenth major demonstration in the capital since the 7th October Attacks by hamas on israel. On friday, the uk governments counter extremism commissioner, robin simcox, said weekends in london had become a no go zone forjews. Welsh Singer Charlotte Church also joined the pro palestinian protesters. She spoke to the crowd at the end of the rally showing her support for people in gaza. Our correspondent Louisa Pilbeam sent this report from the us embassy in london. Well, the protest has now come to an end and people have dispersed. It was a well organised and friendly, warm atmosphere, actually, here today. And we spoke tojewish people and organisations who said that they felt welcome and they said it was important for them to be involved today and they were made to feel involved. Now, there is still a Police Presence here, a significant Police Presence, and there was all day today, but there didnt seem to be any trouble. The organisers did say, though, that they feel that this event has been overpoliced. On a day like today, there are around 1500 Police Officers who could be involved, and they say that thats not a good thing for these events. A short time ago, the met Police Issued a Statement Following todays demonstrations. They say that 2300 officers policed 11 major events across london today, including sporting matches and protests. Five arrests were made during protests one of which was for holding an offensive placard, and two were for chanting offensive slogans. The statement also said, there was no significant public order disturbance in any protests today. Lets look at tensions In The Red Sea now. The uks defence secretary grant shapps has posted video on his social media account of hms richmond shooting down two drones In The Red Sea. The incident happened last night after the Royal Navy Frigate was attacked by iranian backed houthi rebels. Mr shapps said the uk and its allies will continue to take the action necessary to save lives and protect freedom of navigation. The us military says it has also shot down at least 28 uncrewed aerial vehicles or drones In The Red Sea between between about 4am and 8 20am local time. They added that no us or Coalition Navy vessels were damaged in the attack, and that no commercial ships reported damage. With the details, heres david waddell. The Singapore Registered propel fortune is the latest commercial ship to be targeted by the houthi movement. The bulk carrier departed india just under two weeks ago, with her automatic Identification System signalling that she was not connected to israel supposedly to deter this kind of attack from yemen. The uk Maritime Trade Organisation said the captain reported no Collateral Damage to the ship and that she was bound for her next port. These attacks have been ongoing since october, both In The Red Sea and in the gulf of aden, causing many commercial ships, both freighters and passenger liners, to divert around the cape of good hope. This attack took place about 50 nautical miles south of the port of aden. Heres the houthi description of what happened. Translation yemens naval forces. And the air force carried out two l specific military operations. The first targeted the American Ship propel fortune in the gulf of aden with a number of suitable naval missiles. While the second targeted a number of american destroyers at the red sea and the gulf of aden with 37 drones, and the two operations successfully achieved their goals. So the Second Attack was focused on us warships which have gathered in the region in greater numbers since the red sea crisis began, led by the uss dwight d eisenhower. Us Central Command said that Us Navy Ships and aircraft shot down 15 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles early in the morning. They regard this large scale attack as an ongoing imminent threat to merchant vessels, the us navy and coalition ships in the region. A London Fertility Clinic has had its licence suspended because of significant concerns about the unit. The Homerton Fertility Centre said there had been three separate incidents involving errors in the freezing of embryos. I asked our correspondent Greg Mckenzie to explain what had happened. The bbc understand as many as up to 150 embryos could be affected, involving about 45 patients. Now, the Hospital Trust has not confirmed those numbers, but it centres around the freezing process of embryos some of those embryos have simply not survived or when thawed were undetected. Homerton Fertility Centre here in east london has said that it has called in external Clinical Experts to find out what has happened here, but up until now, they have not been able to determine the problems and why this has happened. Meanwhile, the Uk Fertility Regulator has suspended the License Regulator has suspended the licence here, the operating licence, for fertility treatment. The trust has apologised to those patients involved, but says it has changed the way in which it works, some of those changes will include having two Staff Members to crosscheck each other� s work to find out what theyre actually doing. The metropolitan police have also confirmed they have been here to the unit, but have told us today that, as of now, they are not conducting a criminal investigation. Greg mckenzie. Now it is time for a look at the depots and export with you. At the sport with hugh. Hello from the bbc sport centre. England ended irelands hopes of back to back six nations grand slams with a dramatic one point victory at twickenham. Marcus smith, on his first appearance in the championship, kicked a stoppage time drop goal to stun ireland who thought theyd won it courtesy of james lowes second try of the match. The result means that england are still in with an outisde chance of winning the six nations when they travel to france next week. Ireland will clinch the title with a win at home to scotland. For the team, i think obviously we didnt get the result we wanted last time but i think this team is going to take a lot of pride and confidence from that performance. We challenged one of the best teams in the world through the 80 minutes, it ebbed and flowed, they got ahead, we got ahead. I think it was a brilliant spectacle for the fans and i know that the boys will be very happy with that one. We have been very good at winning, everyone is a good winner, arent they . Weve got to be a good loser as well, weve got to be honest and review that properly and make sure we come into work on monday with a smile on our face, because as you say, there is a championship to be won. Earlier on saturday, italy Beat Scotland 31 29 in rome to secure their first victory on home soil for 11 years. They trailed scotland by six points a half time. And even though they were outscored by four tries to three, four penalties in the match helped them get their noses in front and they secured their first win in the tournament for two years, which also follows a draw against france in their previous game. Well done to the boys. We have done amazin well done to the boys. We have done amazing preparation. Well done to the boys. We have done amazing preparation. We well done to the boys. We have done amazing preparation. We work well done to the boys. We have done amazing preparation. We work so amazing preparation. We work so hard. We have been working a lot on your details and today we give it everything, so i couldnt be prouder. And now we have another big week in front of us and we have to go for it as well. Arsenal have gone top of the premier league, ensuring theres just a point� s gap between each of the top three ahead of liverpools meeting with Manchester City on sunday. Their 2 1 win over brentford was secured late on at the emirates, with kai havertz heading the crucial goal in the 86th minute after goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale had made a mistake to allow brentfords equaliser. Its an eighth Straight League win and it sends arsenal a point clear. Im really, i m really, really im really, really satisfied with the performance and the result, obviously, but in the manner we did it, it was a very different game to the one we played in the last few weeks. Against a team that demands a lot of emotional control a lot of nerve, a lot of maturity in certain moments, and weve done it any great way and we showed so much determination, quality, courage, and at the end we got rewarded. Elsewhere, Manchester United beat everton 2 0 thanks to penalties from Bruno Fernandes and marcus rash
