He says she died from self sustained injuries. That defence has caused a public outcry in the country, where 400 women die from Domestic Violence every year, according to statistics from un women. Every day, police in kazakhstan receive about 300 reports of domestic abuse, yet the punishment is generally a fine and a restraining order. Now womens right activists are demanding a new law that fully criminalises Domestic Violence. Earlier, i spoke to kazakh journalist . Zarina akhmatova about the case. In kazakhstan, its indeed a big case, a case of utmost importance for our country, capturing the attention of millions of viewers who tune in to watch the trial unfold four days a week from from 9am 6pm. Its notjust in kazakhstan where the trial is making a really big waves, but across all the world and our russian speaking region. And this is an unprecedented, as you mentioned, case in history in kazakhstan where the trial to be broadcast live and for there to be such attention to the Court Hearings in kazakhstan. I would say that the case has shaken the entire country. I dont remember such scale of public attention to the trial ever in kazakhstan. I guess this is because the case exposed many painful sore points in kazakhstan. Corruption, the issue of human rights, the imperfection of legal system. But the plight of women rights is really maybe a core element of Public Discussion now here in kazakhstan. Historically, women has always had always been at risk. They are vulnerable. We feel ourselves insecure, and women have experienced violation for a long time. And the case that there was no law to criminalise Domestic Violence, butjumping ahead, i would say that yesterday was a big day for kazakhstan because finally our parliament has approved in two regions the law on womens rights and child safety, which is what the public demand for a really, really long time. In 2017, in kazakhstan, the article on Domestic Violence was decriminalised. It means that abusers were punished only administrative code, not the criminal one. And after 1000 days, more than 5000 statements were sent to the parliament. And the petition, online petition, to criminalise Domestic Violence collected more than 150,000 signatures. Kazakh journalist zarina akhmatova. The Prime Minister of norway, jonas gahr store, has said his country is ready to recognise an independent palestinian state. He was speaking in oslo alongside his spanish counterpart, pedro sanchez, who is travelling to european capitals in search of support for palestinian recognition. Mr sanchez is also due to meet the leaders of ireland and poland this week. The norwegian Prime Minister said his country will move on the issue in coordination with spain. Norway stands ready to recognise a democratic palestine, authorities that can run both the west bank and gaza. We are supporting the Palestinian Authority and the new Prime Minister. Meanwhile, after six months of war in gaza, essential medical services have almost completely collapsed there. The World Health Organization has described the state of health care in the palestinian territory as being beyond words. The European Gaza Hospital in the city of khan younis is one of the last functioning Health Care Facilities in southern gaza. A handful of british doctors, a dozen or so, have been allowed in to help with the huge numbers of casualties. One of those doctors is victoria rose, a Consultant Plastic Surgeon from guys and st thomas� s hospital in london. She spent two weeks there and hasjust arrived home. This is her story. So, here we are, weve made it across the border. The days been pretty long, actually. We left cairo this morning with the un convoy. I was last here in 2020, and its completely different. Its like a different entity. Inside, theyve tried to keep the sort of working areas very clean. The floors are very clean. Theres somebody sweeping all the time. But once you get into the corridors, its full of people in tents. Theyve made sort of makeshift tents out of sheets and carpets. And its not clean, and outside itsjust mayhem. Its like a massive village. It stinks. Its raw sewage. Its unacceptable for people to live like this. Shes sleeping by the bedside. So we were operating until last night at midnight. We finished our last case, but the general surgeons have been going all night. You can hear the drones again. Explosions. This is my first case. Hes a young boy whos been hit by a car, got a Scalp Laceration and degloving. He was taken to theatre last week, and his scalp was closed. But unfortunately, now some of the skin has died, so we are going to take him back to theatre and see if we can sort out his scalp. Weve had a bit of a delayed start because theres been quite a lot of bombing this evening. So weve. Weve got quite a lot more work coming to us tomorrow. And im kind of in that situation now where ijust, i just want a ceasefire so that we can catch up. So, this is the field hospital. Theres four wards that were all built during covid. Its tuesday, the 2nd of april, and the drones are back. So im walking back to theatre on my own, which is something that the boys dont really like me doing. I dont know whether you can see, i have like a group of children constantly following me and saying hello. Hello. And then they will ask me for money or theyll ask me for chocolate. Money . Yeah. I havent got money. Just walking through the hospital again. Ive got three days of operating left, and im already panicking about the fact that were not going to get through everybody that we need to get through before i go. It is, i know now, its going to be very difficult to leave, and im not looking forward to it. But ive now. Im now out of all my vac sponge dressings. Ive just got canisters. Oh, i wish id brought more. I really wish id brought more. Ive just been round to the girls� room, where the female medical students live. This is the best team ive ever worked on in my entire life. Thank you. And ive had the best two weeks ever. Thank you for your help. I hope they all get to qualify. I dont know, i dont know how. That� s going to happen. But i think theyll all make really good doctors, and god knows, gaza needs some doctors right now. That was the story of victoria rose, Consultant Plastic Surgeon at guys in st. Thomas� s hospital in london who spent two weeks in gaza and has just arrived back home. Here in the uk, the nhs could be facing a potential crisis as it tries to retain doctors. The General Medical Council says action is needed now to try to reduce the number of medics going to work abroad. 0ur Health Editor hugh pym reports. Medical Royal College leaders say low morale, the Working Environment and pay and conditions were factors behind doctors considering their future outside the nhs. Now the General Medical Council says theres evidence that a trend may be developing, including a survey revealing that 30 of doctors said they were likely to move abroad to work in the next 12 months. The number actually leaving has been stable in recent years and the Chief Executive said surveys should be treated with caution, but there were grounds for concern. I think it is a wake up call. Its another data point that shows that we need to take action now to make sure that we are retaining the doctors and indeed other Health Care Professionals on whom we rely. Its not rocket science. There are places that do this well, and we need to be replicating that more across the board. Mike is a junior doctor. He moved to new zealand early last year. He was attracted by salaries and better working conditions. I work eight hours less a week for the same pay, so i guess proportionately it is a higher wage per hour. And then also the pay for additional shifts is a lot higher, especially at the moment. If things dont change dramatically in the next couple of years, its going to be difficult to go back to that. The Department Of Health And Social Care covering england said doctors were hugely valued and the long term workforce plan would increase the numbers trained and improve culture. Hugh pym, bbc news. Just hearing that the legendary italian Fashion DesignerRoberto Cavalli has died at the age of 83. Known for his prints and patterns and his Innovative Printing techniques.

Still to come on The World Today, could the Commonwealth Games return to scotland if no other suitbable host is found . And well head to madagascar, where the next generation of ecowarriors are learning how to protect endangered green turtles. Around the world and across the uk, this is The World Today on bbc news. The minimum age limit for using whatsapp in the uk and europe has been lowered from 16 to 13. The Technology Company meta, which owns it, says its bringing the region into line with the us and australia, but campaigners have called it a highly irresponsible approach to child safety. Meanwhile, a bbc investigation has found that children as young as ten are being added to Whatsapp Groups containing inappropriate material. Heres martin lindsay. I noticed a real personality change in our 12 year old. After some coaxing, she told me shed been added to a Whatsapp Group. I immediately removed my child from the group and deleted it. This is one mums story and a real fearfor many parents. I was shocked to see inappropriate sexual images, racism and swearing among the messages. Weve got someone else to voice her words so we dont identify her or her child. Her daughter, whos 12, was added to this Whatsapp Group, and weve seen some of the content, which included sexual images, pictures of mutilated bodies and racist comments. Screenshots weve seen showed it had more than 900 members, and it also meant childrens Phone Numbers were in the hands of strangers. She also told me a boy had called her as a result of getting her number from the group and had invited his cousin to talk to her, too. Thankfully, she was savvy enough to end the call and replied to their Text Messages saying she was not prepared to give them her surname or tell them where she went to school. Its an incredibly disturbing case to have heard about, and the fact that Primary School age children have been added to this group and seeing such dangerous content that they dont want to see and they dont want to be exposed to is incredibly upsetting. It comes as an urgent message was sent to parents from Tyneside Schools which warned of another Whatsapp Group encouraging self harm. It said 500 children had been added and it was targeting year 6 pupils, which is ten or ii year olds. The question of who set up the group and for what purpose is now the subject of a police investigation. Meta, which owns whatsapp, says, we give all users options to control who can add them to groups, and the first time you receive a message from an unknown number, you can block or report it. I felt sick to my stomach. Shes only 12, and now im worried about her using her phone. I find it absolutely terrifying. Martin lindsay, bbc news, tyneside. And now to space. Researchers have discovered the cause of the brightest burst of light ever recorded. Its from an exploding star 2. 4 billion light years away. The light earned the nickname of boat, brightest of all time.

Let mejust tell you that the iran backed Hezbollah Group in Northern Israel and Southern Lebanon says the idf identified a0 launches, some of which were intercepted. A corner has ruled the death of ten protestant men on a minibus ambushed near the village of kingsmill in County Armagh in 1976 were due to an overtly sectarian attack by the ira. The men were travelling home when their bus will stop by a group of 12 men who ordered them to get out and to state that religion. 0ne Catholic On Board was allowed to flee as the men then opened fire, killing ten and seriously injuring one other. A new inquest was ordered in 2013 after a investigation into troubles era violence concluded the men were targeted because of their religion. 0ur correspondant jennifer 0leary has been following the inquiry. What happened that january night in 1976 in south armagh is described as one of the most sectarian attacks in the dark history of the troubles. A minibus carrying a group of workmen was on his way to the village of kingsmill when it was ambushed by the ira and cynically the corner described today in court behind me, the ira made it appear as though it was a british army patrol which is why the minibus stopped and the men got off the bus. There were 12 men in all that got off that bus on that fateful evening. And one of the ira gunmen shouted out, who is the catholic . And whats tragically poignant about what was to follow, 12 men were lined up about the minibus and there was only one catholic on the bus. And his hand was squeezed by a protestant work colleague, and for some reason the ira knew that that man was a catholic because nobody there spoke and they told him to leave. And what followed was a brutal massacre. The gunmen opened fire on the 11 protestant workmen, and all were intended to die. Now, one it survived miraculously, alan black, who you may be able to see the wheelchair behind me. He survived the attack despite being shot 18 times because he played dead. And as he lay there, he could hear the terrible sounds from his Work Colleagues who were dying. And there was a second burst of gunfire, and what the corner described as the ira finishing off those men, including an 18 ye
