Cabinet has threatened to withdraw his centrist party from the coalition unless Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sets out a post war plan for the gaza strip. In response, Benjamin Netanyahu said implementing his demands would amount to defeat for israel. First, lets hear those comments from benny gantz. Translation something has gone wrong. Essential decisions were not taken. Acts of leadership required to ensure victory were not carried out. A small minority has taken over the Command Bridge of the israeli ship and is leading it towards a wall of rocks. While Israeli Soldiers are displaying incredible bravery on the front, some of those who sent them to battle are acting with cowardice and a lack of responsibility. Security will remain in our hands only. We will not allow any outside power, friendly or hostile, to impose a Palestinian State on us. Earlier i spoke to our Correspondent Danjohnson who is in jerusalem. He provided context to the fallout between president netanyahu and benny gantz. They have been working together in Coalition Since the hamas attacks of the 7th of october. But thats been a fragile, delicate coalition that was perhaps always potentially in jeopardy and in the last week has dropped into open criticism of the Prime Minister. And its notjust coming from benny gantz. Earlier in the week, the defence minister, yoav galant, made similar comments, but a similar challenge to Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that a clear plan needed to be laid out for what happens after the fighting ends when the Military Campaign concludes. What next for gaza and its people . How to rebuild the infrastructure in that territory, how to represent the palestinian people, how to rebuild, how they will be governed for the future, and how to make sure there is security there that keeps israel safe without keeping the idf there indefinitely bogged down in a long running conflict of military rule, which benny gantz says would in the long run, mean less security for israel. So hes calling for the Prime Minister to lay out a clear plan. But Benjamin Netanyahu so far has refused to engage with that question. Hes sticking to his first priorities, eradicating hamas and returning israeli hostages. But the fact that former israeli Hostage Bodies were recovered over the last few days only underlines the questions about the success of that campaign and whether the Prime Ministers aims are actually being achieved now so many months on into the conflict with the idf having to go back into areas where it had previously declared hamas to have been eradicated, putting more israeli lives at risk. And with so many palestinians uprooted just in the last week with the intensification of Military Operations around rafah, more than 800,000 palestinians have been forced to flee again in the last few days. And this does add pressure to Benjamin Netanyahu, doesnt it . Hes facing both pressure domestically. There are protests and also from his allies. Growing protests amongst the israeli public. Yes. Questioning what this Military Strategy is aiming to achieve now. Is the eradication of hamas actually realistic . Is there any prospect of bringing back some of the more than 120 hostages who are still held in gaza alive . What are the Peace Negotiations going to look like if they are able to resume . And what is the future for gaza . What does the Prime Minister want to see in conclusion of the Military Operation . But then for the longer term future . These are huge questions being asked by the israeli public, right at the top of the war cabinet, by the us and other international partners. And the National Security adviser from the united states, Jake Sullivan, is coming to israel today to raise those points directly with Benjamin Netanyahu, to seek some answers, to seek some assurances about the safety of Palestinian Refugees and to get some extra aid into gaza. Thats another priority, given the restrictions on aid flows over the last week or so, especially as military activities intensified around rafah. So Benjamin Netanyahu looking resolute. Hes unwavering in his determination, his priorities, but he is facing growing criticism and more and more open challenges from people closer to him. This may not bring down the government, even if benny gantz leaves the coalition, but it leaves Benjamin Netanyahu increasingly isolated and potentially even more reliant on the extreme right wing voices in israeli politics. A 14 year old boy has died and a 13 year old boy is in a Critical Condition after getting into difficulty in the river tyne at 0vingham in northumberland on saturday. The boys went into the water near to 0vingham bridge yesterday afternoon and multiple Emergency Service crews were deployed to the scene. The parents of both boys are being supported by specially trained officers. An inquiry into the uks Biggest Health scandal will release its final report next week. More than 30,000 people in the uk were infected with hiv and hepatitis c after being given contaminated Blood Products by the National Health service in the 19705, 80s and 905. In total, 3,000 people died. Its been described as the biggest Treatment Disaster in the history of the nhs. Victims and their families have spent decades fighting for compensation. So how much will that compensation be . 0ur Political Correspondent Tony Bonsignore looked ahead to tomorrows report and possible compensation for victims. The question is, of course, how much and when will people start seeing those final amounts, the final Compensation Scheme . There has been some payments so far, but theres been huge pressure on the government to speed this up, to get a final framework out for compensation for those many, many thousands of people whove been affected. We get the final report tomorrow, monday. And so in anticipation of that, the defence secretary grant shapps was asked about that on Laura Kuenssberg here on the bbc a short while ago. Heres what he had to say. The idea its taken all of this time to get to the truth, i think is heartbreaking. I havent seen the report yet. The government has already said that it will want to respond quickly to it. And so i know that thats what will happen. Can you confirm the compensation . I cant. Im not in that position. Well certainly want others and the chancellor and the Prime Minister to talk about it. But i do know, as i say, from my own constituency casework, its heartbreaking and its the system over decades having let down these families. And not only has this been a scandal thats gone back decades, but of course it will take many, many more years just to get that compensation out. Its such a huge problem there. So this is something potentially the labour party will inherit if they win the next general election. So, same question to the Shadow Health secretary, on the same programme. Heres what he had to say. Let it be justjustice for the victims of this scandal, because every four days, another victim dies without justice. And justice has been delayed for far too long. I suspect all parties are going to have to take some pretty heavy criticism on the chin when sir brian reports tomorrow, including us. I and we will take that criticism on the chin. Even more importantly, even in this Election Year where were, you know, slugging it out for who governs britain. I i hope we can see that rare moment i of consensus in our politics to put. This situation right. Well, he said justice has been delayed for far too long now. Prime minister david cameron, when he was in office, apologised for the scandal. Several governments have presided over this. Theres still criticism, isnt there . There will be criticism, yeah. I mean, it was theresa may, David Camerons successor as Prime Minister, who began this inquiry, who launched this inquiry, and thats back in 2017. And shes talked since about some of the resistance she met within whitehall to this. Jeremy hunt today, in the sunday times, talking about the dilemmas he faced, given the huge amounts of compensation that will have to be paid out here. I suspect tomorrow, though, given the gravity of whats happened, i suspect tomorrow will be primarily about the victims. And i think there will be an attempt by politicians to raise above Party Politics on this, because some of the stories, as weve seen, are absolutely harrowing. We will have full coverage of the inquiry and its conclusion tomorrow on bbc news. You will be able to follow that live on the news website and app, and on bbc iplayer. French forces have launched what they call a major operation in new caledonia, to regain control of a key road linking the capital noumea to the Main International airport.

There were 60 barriers between here and the airport, 60 kilometers away. They have got through them all. Now, the clearing, all the mess, it was mainly burnt out cars that were put across the the carriageway. So were hoping that fairly soon that road will be open to the public.

Further bad weather is hampering Rescue Efforts in southern brazil, where flooding has left vast areas underwater. In the three weeks since the storms first hit the state of rio grande do sul, at least 150 have died, and 600,000 have been forced to leave their homes. 0ur south america correspondent, ione wells, has this report. The roads that connect these cities, these cities that hold peoples homes, some now entirely underwater. Helicopters are the only way to reach some people who need help. This woman had a stroke, and ambulances would not be able to get her to hospital in time. She lives near a lake that has flodded the surrounding roads. Even by helicopter, we arrive hours later than needed after a stroke. These rescues are not without their risks. As we fly back, the weather turns bad. Visibility is poor. Rescue flights are called off for the day. The aim is to get people to safety. About 6,000 people are now living in this University Sports hall that has been converted into a shelter. People here are coming to terms with having lost everything. They dont know when they can return home, if theyll have a home to go back to, and some are fearful about going back to a place that they worry could flood again. Albertine is here with her husband, sons and grandchildren after being rescued from their flooded home. Translation 50 helicopters passed by, and none of them stopped. Then it started to rain. My son who is here, he was at the window, shouting that his father was old and couldnt walk, and then a boat came and picked us up. I came with just the clothes on my body. I was very sad, really sad. I didnt even sleep five nights. But after i saw that, it seems like everyone is going to help us. So i think i am not worried any more. Im really not. Hope is what albertina holds on to. Hope of soon returning home. Looking down on herflooded city, that seems a distant prospect. Ione wells, bbc news.
