Israel Must Immediately halt its Military Offensive and any other action in the Rafah Governorate which may inflict on the Palestinian Group in gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. Israel says this is a precise and limited operation, but Satellite Pictures of rafah show the destruction, less than two weeks after the assault. Today, israels army said it had recovered the bodies of three hostages from Northern Gaza michel nisenbaum, 0rion Hernandez and hanan yablonka. One member of the war cabinet said israel had to keep fighting to return its hostages and safeguard its citizens, and would continue to act according to international law. Foreign criticism of israels actions in gaza is growing. But Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, or bibi, as hes known, is comfortable being seen as the staunch defender of israels security under siege. I dont like bibi, to say the least. I dont think hes a war criminal. Its very easy to sit miles away and criticise whats happening. Do we have a better alternative . I dont really care about what people are thinking about us. You can see that if we do care about what people think, so we should stop the war. No, we are here. We are israel. Therefore, its really important for us to have support and we dont get it. This woman, sheltering in a tent on the coast north of rafah, had little faith in the courts power to change her situation. Translation implement this on the ground. They shouldnt say one thing and do something different. | today, they say they want to stop the war, but the massacres are only increasing. The Rafah Offensive has blocked key aid routes through southern gaza. Supplies brought in via a new us pier, quickly looted. The court today ordered israel to reopen the rafah crossing. Gaza ns and israelis. New battle lines in this war driven by promises on both sides to protect civilians. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. Lets speak to benjamin radd, a senior fellow at the Burkle Center for International Relations at ucla. Hello relations at ucla. And welcome to the programme, hello and welcome to the programme, benjamin. Put hello and welcome to the programme, benjamin. Programme, benamin. Put this into context, programme, benjamin. Put this into context, has programme, benjamin. Put this into context, has significant into context, has significant is it . The court has no jurisdiction, no ability to impose anything on the Israeli Government and israel has indicated that they will not be bound by any pressure from external sources, with may be the exception of the united states, which provides a huge source of military and funding for its operations. So this will have no material impact, i believe. There is a lot of talk about this adding to israels growing isolation. Diplomatic isolation doesnt seem to be a concern for benjamin netanyahu. H0. For benjamin netanyahu. No, because of for benjamin netanyahu. No, because of it for benjamin netanyahu. No, because of it alters for benjamin netanyahu. Iifr, because of it alters the trajectory of what he is trying to accomplish domestically then it begins to matter, and by that i mean he is susceptible to a very Fragile Coalition thatis to a very Fragile Coalition that is holding his power in place currently in the government, so that Coalition Fractures and waivers, that for him becomes a bigger liability than international pressure. We have already see him make statements with regards to the Icc Arrest Warrant that were discussed and possibly issued that these events, these external pressures dont seem to sway his Decision Making whatsoever. However, they do have an impact on members of his candidate who are wavering and pushing back against his decisions. And pushing back against his decisions decisions. Israel has questioned decisions. Israel has questioned the decisions. Israel has questioned the language of decisions. Israel has questioned the language of this order, i think the us also pushing back on some of the Arrest Warrants, many people are saying are not helping. What could possibly happen next . ~ , next . Well, if the Court Decides next . Well, if the Court Decides to next . Well, if the Court Decides to a next . Well, if the Court Decides to a formerly i next . Well, if the courtj decides to a formerly of next . Well, if the Court Decides to A Formerly Of Rishi issued the Arrest Warrants and netanyahu in the Defence Minister are subject to arrest if they are in any country with theirjurisdiction, absolutely that becomes a nonstarter, that of the dramatic, be a dip lad except back, it does isolate the government further. However, i am the government further. However, iam not the government further. However, i am not convinced entirely that the court will go that far and formally issue these warrants, number one, and number two, these warrants, number one, and numbertwo, again we these warrants, number one, and number two, again we see that there is enough domestic pressure from within his own war cabinet that might pre empt any further action by the icc orany any further action by the icc or any other court. Or any other court. 0k, benjamin or any other court. 0k, benjamin rad, or any other court. 0k, benjamin rad, thank. Or any other court. Ok, i benjamin rad, thank you or any other court. 0k, benjamin rad, thank you very much indeed. Here, candidates standing in the general election are entering their first weekend of campaigning, after the parliamentary session was officially closed on friday night. However, around 100 former mps, including high profile conservatives michael gove and dame Andrea Leadsom, have announced they wont be contesting their seats. 0ur political correspondent, hannah miller, has the latest. Through the brexit campaign, borisjohnson� s friend, but at times his greatest foe, michael gove, wasnt afraid to make enemies, pushing through Education Reforms and serving underfour Prime Ministers over nearly 20 years in parliament.

Rishi has the plan our country needs, he added, i will do everything i can to support him. But as rishi sunak toured the Titanic Quarter in belfast, the list of mps jumping ship continued to grow. Among more than 100 other mps standing down, the former Prime Minister theresa may, the former leader of the house of commons, Andrea Leadsom, and former defence secretary ben wallace. While the conservatives are now seeing more mps walk away than in 1997, labours losses are less substantial. Keir starmer took his campaign to glasgow, hoping scotland will pave his way to a win. After mps lined up to mark the close of Parliament Last night, the campaign is well and truly under way, with both potential Prime Ministers constructing their arguments to the country as they try to build up support to win. Hannah miller, bbc news. I dont want to promise you that. Families of the victims of the Uvalde School massacre in texas two years ago are taking legal action against several major companies. They accuse the social media firm, meta, the maker of the call of duty video games, and a Gun Manufacturer of promoting dangerous weapons to teens like the attacker. 0ur North America correspondent peter bowes sent this update. This was one of the worst School Shootings in us history. And these are wrongful Death Lawsuits targeting not only the Gun ManufacturerDaniel Defense the 18 year old responsible for this shooting had one of their guns, but also in these lawsuits targeting the developers of the video game call of duty and instagram. And the claim being that, in effect, these three organisations collaborated to market assault style weapons to teenage boys, that these adolescent boys were, in effect, groomed to carry out the violent video game experiences, things that they had watched, but they were carry out those fantasies in real life. That is the claim. And instagrams parent company, meta, are accused of having lax oversight of this process. Now, these lawsuits are quite separate to another one, a 500 million lawsuit that has been filed against almost 100 Law Enforcement officers, the Police Officers who went to the scene of this shooting. But as has been now widely reported and criticized in a Justice Department report, it was a response that was lacking in urgency. It took more than an hour, 77 minutes, for those officers to eventually move in to the part of the school where the gunman was and where indeed Young Children had been dying. So a widely criticised response now the subject of this huge lawsuit. And what is happening here is that this is the accountability, accountability on the part of individuals or organisations that the families of the victims have been calling for for much of the past two years. Rescuers have arrived at the site of a massive landslide in Papua New Guinea. Hundreds of people are feared dead after the disaster struck whilst people slept in the countrys remote highlands yesterday. A Rapid Response team of medics and Military Personnel have reached the site of the landslide, around 600 kilometres from the capital, port moresby. A United Nations official in the region said at least four bodies have been recovered from the rubble. Lets get the latest now from chris jensen. Hes the National Director for the charity, world vision. He joins us from the capital, ports moresby. Hello, welcome to the programme, chris. Now that teams have reached the site, what are they finding on the ground . What are they finding on the round . ,. , what are they finding on the round . ,. ,. Ground . Yes, thanks very much.

Look, it is a really tragic look, it is a really tragic scene there. Weve got approximately 60 households that have been impacted directly by really large landslides. As you have said, there have been a few bodies found at the moment we are just assessing that and looking at further actions that need to be taken. 0bviously, Search And Rescue continues, as best we can, and we are also looking at what medical interventions as well as looking at recovery around shelter, food, and other items that will need to be required in the coming days and weeks.

One thing to be said is that one thing to be said is that Papua New Guinea is an incredibly beautiful country, and amazing landscape and diversity from coastal areas to the highland areas. In this part of Papua New Guinea, there is really steep topography and we have it in the past had a number of earthquakes flood events that have triggered landslides and other natural disasters. We have also seen el nino recently impacting with drought considered in some areas. So there are a whole lot of natural kind of disasters that do impact this area. It is incredibly remote, as you have said it is 600 kilometres from the capital city here where i am in port moresby so accessing this area The Best Of Times is a challenge. This area The Best Of Times is a challenge this area The Best Of Times is a challenge. And, chris, very cuickl , a challenge. And, chris, very quickly. I a challenge. And, chris, very quickly, i know a challenge. And, chris, very quickly, i know there a challenge. And, chris, very quickly, i know there have i a challenge. And, chris, very. Quickly, i know there have been issues in trying to work out how many people have been affected by this because Population Census statistics are very difficult to come by. Do we have a sense of family people have been affected and how many people will need help . Where will they go . Where will they go . Yes, thats ri. Ht. Where will they go . Yes, thats right you where will they go . Yes, thats right. You are where will they go . Yes, thats right. You are absolutely right. You are absolutely right, there is a challenge in getting accurate handle on population figures. Another factor is there has been trouble, fighting in a province recently, and this is also affected movement of people, so it is very likely that while there are 60 households impacted, these people are probably hosting other families from surrounding areas, so there is challenge their command as you have mentioned, sentient census data is also incredibly challenging. People who live in a traditional setting, 85 of the population living traditional homes amongst their tribes and clans and there is a vast movement of people around that area and coming and going between two provincial centres, so it is a real challenge to get a grasp around the numbers of impacted people, but absolutely tragic, devastating scene. If you have a look at some of that footage, we have seen rocks as large as houses, how do we grasp exactly, you know, the amount of people impacted by that, incredibly challenging scenes. 0k, kristensson, thank you so much for that update. The white house is calling for the swift deployment of a kenyan led Multinational Force to haiti after a us couple was named among three missionaries killed in the caribbean nation.

President biden has pledged to support the Expedited Deployment of kenyas forces in talks with the kenyan president on thursday. President william ruto has been in washington this week on a state visit and sat down with my colleague caitriona perry. She began by asking mr ruto about the plans for kenyan forces in haiti. I have a team already in haiti as i speak to you. I spoke to them this morning. They are finishing a mission tomorrow. That will give us a frame of what things look like on the ground, the capabilities that are available, the infrastructure that has been set up. And once we have that assessment that we agreed with the Haitian Police and the haitian leadership, we are looking at the horizon of between three weeks and thereabout for us to be ready to deploy once everything on the ground is set. What is the situation on the ground like in terms of those preparations . Us officials were helping prepare base, for example. I think the base that was being prepared is, i think i was given that is maybe 70 complete. My team met with the transitional president ial council yesterday. They also met with the leadership of the police the day before. I think they are meeting with other groups just to make sure that we all, we have all the you know, all the items in place for us to facilitate the deployment because there are many actors, you know, we are working under a Un Resolution that gives kenya the mandate to lead. And were going to be working with others who will be contributing different capabilities to facilitate this because were doing it for the people of haiti.
