The prisoners stayed behind to avoid the shooting lets hear from one of them. Translation it was a very difficult situation last night. The riot in the prison put our lives at risk. We had because there was a lot of firing, we hid because there was a lot of firing, we were afraid for our lives. Remember, haiti has been plagued by Gang Violence for years. But the situation has got worse since president moise� s assassination at his home in 2021. We know currently gangs control 80 we know currently gangs control 80 of the capital, port . Au . Prince. Which means that violent scenes like these from over the weekend have become more common. Gang leaders say they want to force him to resign have a listen. Translation we ask the haitian i National Police and the military l to take responsibility and arrest ariel henry. Once again, the population is not our enemy. The armed groups are not your enemy. Lets speak to mathias pierre, a former minister in the hatian government until 2021. He was in charge of the elections. Thank you so much forjoining us here from Port Au Prince. What is the situation right now . Here from portauprince. What is the situation right now . Here from portauprince. What is the situation right now . Thank you for havin the situation right now . Thank you for having me the situation right now . Thank you for having me. The the situation right now . Thank you for having me. The situation the situation right now . Thank you for having me. The situation is the situation right now . Thank you| for having me. The situation is very chaotic, violence spread around Port Au Prince and areas you just specified and now the only point of entrance and Port Au Prince is the international airport. It has been basically attacked by gangs and now the Major Airlines companies cancelled their flight so people cant leave Port Au Prince as of now. I think all this is because of the lack of will of the haitian government and the Prime Minister to implement the sentiment that was sent on December 2022 to organise the election and handed power to a new elected president. On february the 7th. And now we are heading to more chaos, because a lot of people and groups have interest in what is going on because if you take it from the opposition, we want to create the opposition, we want to create the most chaos possible environment, so the contrast and the Power Minister has to leave power and start a new government. If you take it from the government, their point of view, the government has also been asking for International Force to come and help solve the security problem. This, these are some of the reasons we are in the situation, but what is the situation now in terms of these 4000 criminals roaming the streets . Theyre all over, you can see where the gangs are based. They are celebrating the free, freedom of their gang partners. And whatever their gang partners. And whatever the work that has been done by what is remaining of the National Police to capture some of the gang members now, all of them are free. As you said, its more than 4000 international penitentiary area and may be 1 2000 and the other person. And the situation is very chaotic at the moment that were talking about. 0k, mr pr, the moment that were talking about. Ok, mr pr, thank you very much joining us. Its ok, mr pr, thank you very much joining un we start with the israel gaza war and the Un High Commissioner For Human Rights has warned the war in gaza could ignite a broader conflagration across the middle east. In an address to the Un Human Rights Council volker turk described the escalation in Southern Lebanon between israel and hezbollah as extremely worrying. At the same time, there are ceasefire talks being held in egpyt today. But there is a stumbling block to those talks. Hamas has sent a delegation, but israel has not. Israel says it wont attend meetings, until hamas produces a comprehensive list of hostages who are still alive. In a moment well discuss the latest on those negotiations but first heres the un High Commissionerfor Human Rights some hostages taken two girls i have been subjected to sexual violence. There is reasonable grounds to believe such violence to be ongoing. But first heres the un High Commissionerfor Human Rights on the situation in gaza. The war in gaza has already generated dangerous the war in gaza has already generated dangerous spill over in neighbouring countries, and im deeply concerned that in this powder keg, any spark could lead to a much broader conflagration. This would have implications for every country in the middle east and many beyond it. After six months of brutal war, even israels closest ally, the us is ratcheting up the pressure for a new truce with hamas. Heres Kamala Harris speaking earlier. Given the immense scale of suffering in gaza, there must be an immediate cease fire. Cheering. For at least the next six weeks, which is what is currently on the table. More than 30,000 people inside gaza have now been killed since israeli launched its Military Operation there in october the vast majority women and children. The Aid Situation is increasingly desperate many palestinians in parts of gaza are now dying of injuries that cant be treated and even hunger, and babies in this hospital in rafah are being treated for easily preventable conditions. Lets hearfrom one mother. Translation im here because of my child. Shes sick. Her sister died. She was only 20 days old. She died of cold, it was very cold, and we didnt have enough to cover her. We left our house without anything. Israelis held another protest today demanding their government bring their loved ones who are still being hostage by hamas home. These developments come as hopes are diminishing for a Ceasefire Deal in place for the start of the islamic holy month of ramadan next week. Talks are being held in cairo today but while hamas and in different areas of the gaza strip. Whats the narrative within israel right now . Whats the narrative within israel riaht now . , whats the narrative within israel riaht now . ,. , right now . Regarding the piece cox, indirect peace right now . Regarding the piece cox, indirect peace talks right now . Regarding the piece cox, indirect peace talks that right now . Regarding the piece cox, indirect peace talks that are right now . Regarding the piece cox, indirect peace talks that are taking l indirect peace talks that are taking place in cairo, the positive thing is theyve grown into a second day with delicates from hamas, from qatar, from egypt and from the United States, but the israelis are pointedly not there. It is really delegation has not gone because It Set Preconditions those conditions were that hamas should provide a list of the hostages who remain alive, and which ones would be released as a result of any Cease Fire Agreement which would also include of course the release of palestinian prisoners from israeli jails. That decision by israeli jails. That decision by israel not to attend the talks has been criticised pretty widely in the israeli media. It is been said by many people to be unsustainable position. Of course, there are other issues that would prevent a cease fire, perhaps, taking place. Israel not even attending the talks has not gone down well with it many sections of the israeli media. There was a poll done in sections of the media, many peoples found that Benjamin Netanyahu was in there view acting in Self Interest rather than the national interest. But as i said, those talks have proceeded, hamas itself would also have some conditions for a cease fire. Ms for example once all he really israeli troops to be withdrawn from the main parts of gaza hamas, for example, once all israeli troops to be withdrawn. Those conditions would prove very difficult for israel. The chances, despite what the americans were saying, the chances for a cease fire being agreed by this weekend and the start of ramadan, perhaps increasingly slim.

Around the world and across the uk, you are watching The World Today on bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. Charities and campaigners are Urging Ministers to set up an inquiry into the treatment of unaccompanied children seeking asylum in the uk. The call comes after an official report said basic checks to keep children safe in asylum hotels were not carried out. The Home Office Said the welfare of the children was an � utmost priority�. There will be no option of a Life On Benefits for young people under labour according to its shadow work and pensions secretary liz kendall. New figures show more than 850 thousand people new figures show more than 850,000 people between the age of 16 and 24 were not in work, education or training in the last three months of last year. A rare ferrari stolen 28 years ago from an ex formula one driver in london has been recovered by police. The vehicle was shipped to japan after it was taken from Gerhard Berger in 1995.

I think its| a very important step, first of all, because it was really passed this evening by a very important margin of 780 votes in the specialjoint session, and what it means is really that the french members of parliament did to react of course to the Dobbs Decision that was delivered by the Supreme Court of the United States in 2022, there was a huge shock waves throughout the world after that decision. The idea in france was saying we want to prevent any kind of change in the political atmosphere around abortion rights, and we really want to secure the equilibrium that is the result of 50 years of legislation in france, and sort of lock it into the constitution. Constitution. Tell me a little bit about the attitude constitution. Tell me a little bit about the Attitude Entrance constitution.

The former president said the Supreme Courts decision was a � big win for america. Colorado had used a little known amendment to the constitution to remove him from the states republican primary ballot. Following this ruling, the case was taken to the highest court in america the Supreme Court for a final decision. 15 states including colorado hold their primary elections on tuesday, so . Called � Super Tuesday. Our north america correepondent, nomia iqbal, gave us her analysis following the ruling. It means that donald trump will stay on the republican primary. This ruling means that similar attempts by other states to kick him off will go nowhere. Now theyve been overruled. Overrided, i should say. And just in that the comment made by donald trump in which he said this was about an opponent trying to remove him off the ballot. Its worth reminding that the people that brought this case to colorado were a group of voters, including republicans, who argued that because of january the sixth, the capitol riots, they believe donald trump engaged in that insurrection. He should not be allowed on the ballot. And they used this old amendment, post civilwar, to make that case. But the Supreme Court unanimously ruled against it, saying that you cant essentially give power to one state to decide that. Because if the ruling had been upheld, then other states would have moved to remove him off the ballot. And there were conservative states also saying that they would try and remove President Biden off the ballot. So it would have caused Election Chaos in a year where theres already enough chaos and so this is a victory for donald trump and itjust means that his name will now remain on the primary ballot for the republicans, for Republican People who are voting certainly tomorrow in Super Tuesday and for the rest of the primaries. Yes. And as they vote on Super Tuesday, what are we expecting over the coming days . Well, already people have been voting in colorado. So four Million People received their ballots last month to take part in mail in voting. Over the weekend, the Secretary Of State in colorado said 800,000 people had voted. So just imagine if Donald Trumps name had been kicked off the ballot. If the Supreme Court had upheld that ruling, there would have been Hundreds And Thousands of people who would have legitimately argued that theyd been disenfranchised. We do expect donald trump to to win the primaries. To win the primaries. Hes been winning all of them so far. He is expected to sail to that republican nomination. It wont be officially announced until over the summer during the conventions. But i think its pretty much, you know, its a done deal that donald trump will be the republican partys president ial candidate for the election for the president ial election in november. I plan to send some Asylum Seekers arriving in the uk to rwanda. The House Of Lords is debating the issue and voting on amendments. Already inflicted for defeats on the government, backing a move to ensure legislation is compliant with uk and international law. Lets speak to harry farley our Political Correspondent in westminster. Bring us up to date as to what this means for the government � s plans. It for the government s plans. It may well in the for the government s plans. It may well in the next for the government s plans. It may well in the next few for the government s plans. It may well in the next few minutes for the government s plans. It may well in the next few minutes as for the government s plans. It may well in the next few minutes as im| well in the next few minutes as im talking to you may be five. There are other votes going on in the House Of Lords is a speak. As he said, the bill aims to prevent prove further legal challenges. The government wants to stop legal challenges to that scheme, its necessary to stop the boats, provide a deterrent for people to cross the channel and make that dangerous crossing, they say thats necessary. But late last year, the government, the Supreme Court ruled that the scheme was unlawful and the particular reason, one of the key reasons it cited is it didnt believe that rwanda was necessarily a safe country to send Asylum Seekers too. So what the government is trying to do in this bill is to declare that rwanda is safe and its signed a treaty with rwanda to put in place various measures to make that so. But a very strong opposition from the House Of Lords so far this evening, im just going to read you one quote from a conservative minister, someone that used to be on the governments side on the house of commons, he is now in the House Of Lords. He said all my years in them parliament ive never told a lie, im asked to tell a lie. For goodness sake, lets tell the truth. Very strong words. The government is trying to arbitrarily say, no, it is safe. Harry, thank you very much for that. Lets cross live now and speak with john vian, who is the former uk independent Chief Inspector of borders and in. I want to get from you a feeling of what you actually make of the rwanda policy itself and how it should, according to government plans, and up working. Good evening. I think its anybody� s guess as to whether it will work or not. The problem is weve been debating this for nearly two years. It was announced quite a long time ago now, and of course the whole idea has been stuck in the courts and prisons. So it is something that has not been tried before, except, people would argue, it was tried by the australians with some considerable success, in about 2012. When they had Operation Sovereign Borders they called it. The whole idea is a deterrent, really, to people crossing the channel illegally. And other ways, getting across illegally, because it takes away the incentive to hand over a lot of money to organised crime and then achieve your objective by arriving and staying in the uk. But the only thing, the only problem i foresee is of course a deterrent usually relies on an Immediate Impact occurring, you know, consequence occurring from an action. And, of course, its been delayed for such a long time it remains to be seen whether the Deterrent Effect is actually going to work. Do Deterrent Effect is actually going to work. ,. ,. ,. ,. , to work. Do not agree with those eo le to work. Do not agree with those people who to work.

People who say the best way to deal with people coming here on small boats is to create safe and legal passage to the uk, and thats going to solve the problem very quickly if you do that because people wont have to resort to getting boats for that. , � ,. , have to resort to getting boats for that. � ,.

Thats a matter of perspective, the ukrainians for example fleeing the war in ukraine, the Hong Kong Chinese for example have a safe and legal route, it needs political will to do that, thats a political decision. And of course the consequences of that are you then face with a question of how many do you allow on such schemes . Going back to the rwanda plan, the concern of course of the refugee and asylum groups is the Supreme Court was very clear that it wasnt the policy itself that they found unlawful, it wasnt the idea of outsourcing asylum to a different country, it was the fact that it was rwanda and they were concerned that there would be whats called in the international powers, refuel refoulement. Or want to have been guilty of that on several occasions on arrangements with other countries in the world. Goad occasions on arrangements with other countries in the world. Countries in the world. Good to talk to ou, countries in the world. Good to talk to you. Thanks countries in the world. Good to talk to you, thanks so countries in the world. Good to talk to you, thanks so much.

In the lastj to you, thanks so much. In the last minute or so as harry predicted, Our Westminster correspondent, the government has been defeated for the fifth time on the safety of the rwanda bill. This time by a majority of 91 in the House Of Lords. Again, this was about being able to challenge whether rwanda is still safe in the future. Its not about the actual plan to send people there per se. So that is the fifth government defeat on the rwanda bill, more on that is always on our website. Lets take you now to germany, because the country is scrambling pretty much, a good way to describe it, to explain how audio of air force officials apparently discussing giving ukraine long range missiles was leaked by russian sources.

Much of the country had a pretty decent day today with some good spells of sunshine around. Most places stayed dry, but there was wetter and breezier weather pushing into the south west of england, south wales. That rain will continue to journey northwards across much of the country during the overnight period. It will tend to weaken a little bit as it moves northwards, but it will become breezier for a time as the cloud and the rain pushes its way northwards and eastwards. Behind it, skies will tend to clear, but well see a rash of showers, some of them heavy running into the Channel Islands and Cross Into Southern England at times. Maybe some showers pushing into northern ireland. Now, where we have the cloud and the rain, then temperatures wont be as low as where theyll be, where skies clear, and, again, a touch of frost, maybe the odd mist or fog patches, winds fall light. Then into tuesday, weve got that overnight Weather Front pushing off in towards the north sea, another front pushing into northern ireland, Western Scotland, thatll enhance the Shower Activity here. Could take a while for that front to clear the east coast of both scotland and england. Eventually it will do, and it brightens up with plenty of sunshine. Could still see a few showers towards the south and the south east of england, the odd heavier one. But most places, i think, away from these fronts, should be dry with some sunshine. Top temperatures, 11 or 12 celsius once again, pretty much where we should be this time of year. Into wednesday, we see this blocking area of High Pressure over scandinavia begin to exert its force across the country. It will start to push the Weather Fronts out back into the atlantic. So i think many places should be dry on wednesday, Variable Cloud Across Scotland and eastern england. Perhaps the odd shower, the odd shower perhaps for cornwall up towards northern ireland. Otherwise most places should have a dry day with lots of sunshine around, and the breeze will be picking up from the south east. Top temperatures again, 12 or 13 celsius. Similar story on thursday, if anything, that area of High Pressure just edges a bit further westwards, pushing those fronts out into the atlantic. Could be a bit more cloud around generally on thursday, central, northern, eastern areas, maybe the odd shower mixed into it. But there will be some sunshine around, probably the best of it in Western Scotland in towards northern ireland, west wales, south west england. Temperatures maybe down a touch, the breeze will be picking up, 11 celsius will be the high. Friday looks like we could see more sunshine around, again a brisk southeasterly breeze. Theres just signs of it starting to turn a bit more unsettled and a bit milder as we head into the weekend. This is The World Today from bbc news. The headlines. Chaos in haiti as Armed Gangs Run Riot and storm a Prison Leading to the escape of nearly 4,000 dangerous criminals.
