What is the latest we are hearing . Jake sullivan meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu. First and foremost, reiterating the us insistence that the Military Offensive Around Rafah remains restricted. The warning has been if israel steps up that military operations there, it will put even more palestinian lives at risk. We know already there are 800,000 palestinians who have fled that city in the last ten days or so, since israels military moved in there. The consistent warning from there. The consistent warning from the us has been not to launch an all out assault, that would put even more palestinians on the move and at risk. There are also calls for more aid to get into gaza, To Feed Palestinians in need of shelter and diplomatic aid. There are efforts going to try to pressure Benjamin Netanyahu into laying out some sort of plan as to what will happen next in gaza once the fighting is over. Who will represent the Palestinian People . Who will coordinate the rebuilding of homes and infrastructure . Who will represent them, speak for them infrastructure . Who will represent them, speakfor them in infrastructure . Who will represent them, speak for them in the future . Benjamin netanyahu has refused to be drawn on that so far, he says his priorities are eradicating hamas and returning israeli hostages. He is under pressure from his own cabinet, saying he needs to lay out a plan to give an assurance of what his future proposals for gaza will look like, so people know in which direction they are heading. Saudi arabia could be key in building an Arab Coalition that could play a role in gaza in the future. That is why Jake Sullivan has been in saudi arabia and brings that message to israel. Adding to all the pressure that you have described, Benjamin Netanyahu is also facing pressure domestically from the israeli public . From the israeli public . Absolutely. There have been from the israeli public . Absolutely. There have been very from the israeli public . Absolutely. There have been very little from the israeli public . Absolutely. There have been very little resultsl there have been very little results from the Military Campaign in the last few weeks, in terms of returning hostages. The only recent development has been a return four of hostages that were killed on the 7th of october. In terms of eradicating hamas, that has not been successful yet. In rafah, there are battalions holding out and the idf has gone back into areas of central and northern gaza, where it previously declared success against hamas. That is hardly a result that Benjamin Netanyahu can claim either. Therefore, he is under pressure to explain his military strategy, to deliver more successful results on the battlefield, and then to lay out what he foresees for the future of gaza. All he has said so far is that he will not work with the palestinian authority, which represents palestinians in the west bank. He doesnt think they should have a role in the future of gaza. He will not lay out exactly who he thinks should play a role. There is a Stain Pressure now from the israeli public, from figures in israeli public, from figures in israeli politics and from the united states, the United Nations and other international organisations, saying it is time for Benjamin Netanyahu to set out a clear future. Set out a clear future. There will be [en set out a clear future. There will be plenty more set out a clear future. There will be plenty more context set out a clear future. There will be plenty more context and set out a clear future. There will. Be plenty more context and updates on all of this throughout the day on bbc news, as well as on the app and the website. 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 ovingham in northumberland on saturday, the boys went into the water near to ovingham 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. Earlier our reporter andy gill gave us an update on the situation from ovingham. The police were called to this part of the river tyne at about 3. 30 yesterday afternoon because those two boys that had got into difficulty in the water. They went into the river a couple of hundred yards downstream from here. There is a rope swing which is popular with young people. As you said, a major Search And Rescue operation was mounted involving the police and rescue, the fire service. A 13 year old boy was rescued from the river. He was taken to hospital, where he is said to be in a Critical Condition. The body of a 14 year old boy was pulled from the river and he was pronounced dead at the scene. At this same location two years ago, another 13 year old boy called Robert Hattersley also drowned. There is actually little a photograph of him on the rocks here, by way of a memorial. Last year, Northumberland Fire Service were critical of youths who had ignored requests to come out of the river. This is a very popular spot with teenagers when the weather is warm. Weve been speaking to a local councillor who herself nearly drowned as a teenager, and she is trying to get more education in schools about the dangers of swimming in the river here. She also wants more physical Safety Measures. There are life belts up on the path yeah, because the river floods, but she wants more Safety Measures because this is such a dangerous stretch of the river tyne. An inquiry into the uks Biggest Health scandal will release its final report on monday. The scale of what happened is almost unprecedented in british medical history. More than 30,000 people in britain were infected with hiv and hepatitis c. After being given contaminated Blood Products by the National Health service in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Many have since died, while some unknowingly passed infections on to partners who then died. Victims and their families have spent decades fighting for compensation. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. A Home Testing Kit for hepatitis c. Thousands were infected with the virus after Blood Transfusions dating back to the 1970s, and bbc News Analysis showed that more than 1,700 have the virus and still dont know it. Demand for Hepatitis C Test Kits in england has soared since our story began. More than 12,800 kits were ordered between Thursday 9th May and friday 17th may. That compares with 2,300 for the whole of april, close to the monthly average. A Charity Helpline has been very busy. I think the huge increase in call numbers that we have seen at the Hepatitis C Trust clearly demonstrates that a lot more people for the very first time are aware about inflected blood in the nhs blood supply, and that is an amazing thing, if we can find those estimated 1,700 people, even a small proportion of them, and we can save some lives, that is amazing it has been achieved. Hepatitis c can develop with minimum symptoms. If left undetected, it can cause cirrhosis of the liver and cancer. Kits can be ordered online in england and has can be arranged at gp surgeries in the uks other nations. Effective treatment is available. The inquiry has examined why transfusions with Blood Inflected with hepatitis c continued after the virus was identified in the late 1980s. Bbc news revealed that Government Attempts to trace patients and test them half hearted. Another key issue is the use of products or haemophiliacs contaminated with hiv and hepatitis c, made from blood obtained by paid donors including prisons in the united states. After opening in september 2018, the final report of the inquiry chaired by sir Brian Langstaff will be published tomorrow. He has already said there were wrongs done at individual and systemic levels. A Government Spokesperson said it was an appalling tragedy that never should have happened, and there were plans to set up a new Compensation Scheme. Hugh pym, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent Tony Bonsignore looked ahead to tomorrows report and possible compensation for vitcims. 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, this. 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, wes streeting, on the same programme. Heres what he had to say. Let it be justice 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. And a reminder we will have full coverage of the Infected Blood Scandal Inquiry Conclusion tomorrow here on the bbc news, you will be able follow it live on the bbc news website and app and also on bbc iplayer. The Congolese Army says it has quashed an attempted Coup Kinshasa and killed its leader. A group of armed men in Military Fatigues broke into the residence of a close ally of president Felix Tshisekedi at dawn and were later seen within the vicinity of the president ial palace. As soon as we have as 50011 as we have more as soon as we have more updates, we will bring them to you. Now its time for a look at todays sport with Oli Foster Tyson Fury says he should have won last nights fight against olexander usyk, but thinks thejudges sided with the ukrainian because the country is currenty at war. Usyk is now the first four belt undisputed heavyweight World Champion after beating fury in a Split Decision in saudi arabia. It was what it was. Im not going to cry about spilt milk look, ive had plenty of victories and i gave god the glory. Ive had this one loss, in a close fight, with a good man like usyk. It was what it was. I tried my best in there. I was having a lot of fun, actually. I dont know if it looked like it, but i was playing around, hands behind my back, i was enjoying it. Hes a good fighter, i was catching him, he was catching me, it was a good fight. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as i did. The fight swung in the ninth round, with some ferocious punching from usyk. A rematch has already been agreed for october, boxing pundit steve bunce was ringside in riyadh and says it was a fair result. Fury did think he had won, but he said, im a fighting man, i will take it. Two of the judges only separated them by one round. That shows it was a really tight fight, and it was a really tight fight. Had usyk lost, he wouldnt have screamed. Fury lost, he didnt scream. You might see him change the narrative over the next few days, thats just boxing, thats the way it works. As for the ninth round, thats one of the all time great heavy heavyweight rounds. In round six, usyk was trailing by a couple of points. He clawed his way back, in the ninth round he hit tyson fury, ill use an expression, now i finally know what it means, he was hit from pillar to post, his back hit every side of the ring in a ridiculous a0 or 50 second sequence, resulting in him toppling into the ropes, which, in boxing, constitutes a knock down. Lets get to todays main event. The final day of the premier League Season League Season, 10 matches kick off injust under three hours time but our focus will be on the Etihad Stadium and the emirates where Manchester City or arsenal will be champions.
