A United NationsFact Finding Mission has concluded that iran was responsible for the violence that led to the death of mahsa amini a kurdish woman accused of breaching islamic dress rules. A report said the government also used Unnecessary Lethal Force to suppress demonstrations that followed. A report on the british armys top undercover agent in the ira during the troubles in Northern Ireland has found that his actions probably cost more lives than he saved. The agent, codenamed stakeknife, worked inside an ira unit responsible for rooting out informers. Officials in australia say the Great Barrier reef is undergoing another mass bleaching event. Sea temperatures have approached Record Levels in recent weeks, putting coral under greater stress. It is the fifth such event in eight years. The state of the Union Address perhaps isnt the top of everyone� s agenda each march after all, its a speech thats constitutionally mandated, usually lengthy and heavy on policy and pagentry. But this is an Election Year and the stakes are high. Joe biden� s delivery last night has been described as fiery and vigorous as he talked up his accomplishments to voters across america and didnt miss a chance to take a swipe at his likely opponent come november although he refused to say the words donald trump. My predecessor, and some of you here, seek to bury the truth about january the 6th, i will not do that. This is a moment to speak the truth and to bury the lies. Heres the simple truth. You cant love your country only when you win cheering and applause. Lets bring in our panel first reactions. Jenny kleeman, britishjournalist and author and brett bruen, former us diplomat director of global engagement, white house under obama.

Managed to reach deep and to find the stamina, the strength to forage on. I think he was a ball to assuage a lot of the concerns, myself included, ive not been shy about sharing some of them over the past couple of years, and yet i have to say it was a convincing performance. One perhaps, yes, that is fairly staged and he spent a good deal of time prepping for. But he even managed, as he had last year, but perhaps even better this performance, to spar with republicans who were shouting into where trying to provoke him on a number of occasions, congressman Marjorie Taylor green, the famous Flame Thrower from georgia gave Marjorie Taylor green, the famous Flame Throwerfrom Georgia gave him the pen and then biden turns around, holds the pen up about the young woman who was killed by an allegiant illegal migrant down in georgia. At the end of the day, this was a stellar performance from biden. I can tell you here in washington that conversations and Coffee Houses and in Corridors Of Power is biden has restarted his campaign and trumpets the defensive. The defensive. What do you think, is biden back . The defensive. What do you think, is biden back . Is the defensive. What do you think, is biden back . Is a the defensive. What do you think, is biden back .

There was fire in his belly, he looked today. There was fire in his belly, he looked vigorous, which he needs to do he looked vigorous, which he needs to do really he looked vigorous, which he needs to do really now, given the chatter around to do really now, given the chatter around him to do really now, given the chatter around him over the past few months. Rhetorically. Around him over the past few months. Rhetorically, think it was quite a clever rhetorically, think it was quite a clever speech. He was presenting himself clever speech. He was presenting himself as clever speech. He was presenting himself as a forward looking president and donald trump, his predecessor, as being rooted in the past predecessor, as being rooted in the past and predecessor, as being rooted in the past. And he was talking about the oldest past. And he was talking about the oldest of past. And he was talking about the oldest of ideas come he cant lead america oldest of ideas come he cant lead America At Oldest of ideas come he cant lead america at the ancient ideas, implying america at the ancient ideas, implying that the kind of division that donald trump faces so much of his politics that donald trump faces so much of his politics on was not the way of the future his politics on was not the way of the future. And as brecht says, he was able the future. And as brecht says, he was able to the future. And as brecht says, he was able to ad lib. When he was being was able to ad lib. When he was being heckled, he was able to say things being heckled, he was able to say things which appeared to be off the cuff. Things which appeared to be off the cuff i things which appeared to be off the cuff. I dont know if they were being cuff. I dont know if they were being harassed, but if they were, that he being harassed, but if they were, that he was able to deliver them as if they that he was able to deliver them as if they were abbott labs. He certainly didnt look like the doddering old man that many of his opponents doddering old man that many of his opponents want to claim him to be. Ok, opponents want to claim him to be. Ok. We opponents want to claim him to be. Ok. We will opponents want to claim him to be. Ok, we will talk about domestic policy in a minute, but lets just for a moment to focus on more Foreign Relations and the like. We want to focus particularly on gaza. He for the State Of The Union before the State Of The Union the white house announced the us military will set up a Temporary Port In Gaza to allow more aid to be delivered to the territory. President biden spoke about it in his address. No us boots will be unbound. A temporary pier will enable a massive increase to the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into gaza every single day. Israel must allow more aid into gaza and ensure humanitarian workers are not caught in the crossfire. And in the past few hours further developments. The uk says it willjoin the us and other allies to create a maritime corridor to deliver essential aid directly to gaza. An Israeli ForeignMinistry Spokesman said aid would be delivered after Security Checks were carried out in accordance with israeli standards. The us military has already begun planning to build the causeway to the shore in gaza, to allow for the delivery of aid. Heres Pentagon Spokesman patrick ryder. Importantly, there were no us forces on the ground in gaza. Finally, in terms of timing, we are working to set this up as quickly as possible and we expect it will take several weeks to plan and execute. Im joined now by state Department Correspondent tom bateman. Tell us a bit more about what they said, they gave us a few more details on this, didnt they . Yes. Details on this, didnt they . Yes, we were getting details on this, didnt they . Yes, we were getting a details on this, didnt they . Yes, we were getting a few details on this, didnt they . Is we were getting a few merit details there, as you heard, really about there, as you heard, really about the time it was hoop and also something around the fact that troops will leave from the us to go and do this, and that is why it is at least several weeks away, but what we didnt get from this was some of the Crucial Detail that still remains about how supplies will be secured once they are in gaza, so once we know that the plan announced by President Biden is effectively for the forces off the coast, and then you would have appeared, basically, which supplies thats a point where the very big announcement gets quite small on detail, and that is the absolutely critical point, because what we have seenin critical point, because what we have seen in gaza is not necessarily a problem of getting supplies into the peripheries of the gaza strip, but it has been around distributing it inside, and crucially, in the north of the gaza strip where the ability to secure aid convoys is largely collapsed that is why the un says in the whole of the month of february, it is part of the reason why the un is saying that a quarter of the population of gaza is now on the brink of famine. And so this was, as i say, a very significant feeling announcement, but i dont think they are much further down the road as to exactly practically how it can wear, because there will be no us boots on the ground. We still dont have an answer to the question about how the gaza strip more broadly is going to be governed and secured. Yes, in a kind of day after scenario, and after the work, but thats only become a hypothetical issue because there is a vacuum of governance and security in gaza now there is not an answer from the us from the israelis about what the plan is to be put in place. So we dont know. So at the moment, it looks as though in a few weeks time, they will be in a position to be able to get large shipments of aid close to and potentially onto the shore, but no real way to deliver it. Real way to deliver it. Israel will be performing real way to deliver it. Israel will be performing the real way to deliver it. Israel will be performing the security real way to deliver it. Israel will be performing the Security Checks on this and has said that it welcomes this and has said that it welcomes this idea and yet it is ignoring the calls from the us to open the land borders and allow more aid in over the land it is a situation, that, really, isnt it . The land it is a situation, that, really, isnt it . For a week now, president really, isnt it . For a week now, President Biden really, isnt it . For a week now, President Biden has really, isnt it . For a week now, President Biden has been really, isnt it . For a week now, President Biden has been using | really, isnt it . For a week now, i President Biden has been using the phrase he says there no excuse that acceptable from israel when it comes to disturbing in gaza and the crisis on the ground there, but basically and i put this question to the State Department repeatedly this week, an answer to the question, well it seems like the israelis are not listening, they say we continue to try. At the israelis says they are allowing aid and through some of the land crossings because it blames the un for a failure and delivery. The un for a failure and delivery. The un says the reason that it cant secure convoys inside the gaza strip is because israel has previously both attacked convoys and attacked the police that are securing convoys because israel regards them as hamas. That is not the position of The Americans who say that these forces are not necessarily all of them are affiliated, some of them are evidence of the rival to hamas and the palestinian authority, and that its counterproductive it basically to attack them because it makes the situation, the crisis on the ground much worse. It keeps coming back to this fundamental point about the lack of governance, the lack of security in gaza and its becoming increasingly the kind of very focal point of the sense of collapse within gaza amid the ongoing fighting because if you dont have security, you cant do anything else, see cantilever aid supplies, and that is fast becoming absolutely critical issue, and at the same time, no break there on the cease fire for Hostage Release Talks are stalled and do to pick up again early into next week in cairo, but then into ramadan, things looking rather bleak on all of these fronts. Thank you. What do you make of this announcement . I5 what do you make of this announcement . ,. , announcement . Is interesting to see the Decree Announcement . Is interesting to see the degree of announcement . Is interesting to see the degree of frustration announcement . Is interesting to see the degree of frustration that announcement . Is interesting to see the degree of frustration that joe the degree of Frustration Thatjoe Biden was expressing last night when it comes to the disruption of row deliveries on an intact full scale and israel not allowing the distribution of aid any attempt to get aid into gaza is welcome. It is distribution that is the issue. Its an incredible waste of money, the construction of this temporary peer to on the israel that allow the aide in it would not exist. The problem is not logistical, the problem is political. We dont really have time for this appeared to be constructed, you know, as we have heard, people are starving in gaza at the moment. I people reportedly died when parishes that were dropping aide failed to open and herfan. The situation is dire they are, and we dont really have time to be going around doing Logistical Solutions when Political Solutions could solve things so much more quickly. What when Political Solutions could solve things so much more quickly. What do ou think . Things so much more quickly. What do you think . Is things so much more quickly. What do you think . Is this things so much more quickly. What do you think . Is this a things so much more quickly. What do you think . Is this a desperate you think . Is this a desperate measure from President Biden who basically is sort of an admittance that he hasnt been able to win around the israelis in terms of getting them to do what he wants . At the same time what we heard last night the same time what we heard last night from the same time what we heard last night from President Biden was an effort night from President Biden was an effort to night from President Biden was an effort to perhaps paper over the fact that effort to perhaps paper over the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu continues to ignore bidens please for the continues to ignore bidens please for the israelis to address the civilian for the israelis to address the civilian situation. Interestingly, you do civilian situation. Interestingly, you do have a video with biden making you do have a video with biden making comments on the floor with some making comments on the floor with some of making comments on the floor with some of his making comments on the floor with some of his Cabinet Members and other some of his Cabinet Members and other members of congress after his speech, other members of congress after his speech, when he knows this is being recorded, speech, when he knows this is being recorded, and talked about essentially telling Benjamin Netanyahu were going to have a come to Moses Netanyahu were going to have a come to moses moment and this is going to be the to moses moment and this is going to be the final to moses moment and this is going to be the final word from the white house be the final word from the white house that Benjamin Netanyahu needs to start house that Benjamin Netanyahu needs to start listening, needs to start acting to start listening, needs to start acting on to start listening, needs to start acting on this issue was that we will see acting on this issue was that we will see if acting on this issue was that we will see if it indeed comes to pass, but from will see if it indeed comes to pass, but from what im hearing from folks in the but from what im hearing from folks in the National Security structure, the biden in the National Security structure, the Biden Administration to patients is quickly the Biden Administration to patients is quickly running out.

The Nuffield Trust think tank found kent and medway had the fewest gps per person, followed by bedfordshire, luton and milton keynes. Ministers have struggled to meet a pledge to boost the gp workforce. The governments counter extremism commissioner says london has become a � no Go Zone Forjews during weekend pro palestinian marches. Robin simcox also urged ministers to � be willing to accept higher legal risk� when tackling extremism. Rishi sunak� s spokesman said the Prime Minister took concerns of extremism � extremely seriously� and noted a rise in both antisemitism and islamophobia. New rules on Paternity Leave have come into effect in england, scotland and wales.

Mike johnson, the Speaker Of The House had warned his caucus the Speaker Of The House had warned his caucus that it was best to avoid some of his caucus that it was best to avoid some of these scenes, because ultimately they played into bidens hand ultimately they played into bidens hand. They provided biden with an opportunity to show the contrast between opportunity to show the contrast between the insanity insanity between the insanity insanity between some of these antics. I dont between some of these antics. I dont think between some of these antics. I dont think anyone looks at Marjorie Taylor dont think anyone looks at Marjorie Taylor green that they have on the screen taylor green that they have on the screen a taylor green that they have on the screen a moment to go and say, yes, i screen a moment to go and say, yes, i want screen a moment to go and say, yes, i want more screen a moment to go and say, yes, i want more of screen a moment to go and say, yes, i want more of that in american leadership.

Another rather chilly feeling day again today, mostly dry. Some areas of cloud around at times with the brisk easterly wind, the sunshine best in the west. But it also brightened up rather nicely across the South Of England, unlike yesterday. It� s not set to last, though. Over the course of the weekend, it will turn a lot more unsettled, more cloud, rain at times, and still that cold, brisk easterly wind blowing in from the north sea. Some rather chilly feeling air at the moment. Low pressure to the southwest. High pressure to the north east. And we� re still drawing in more cloud from the north sea as we head through tonight. In fact, it� s going to be a lot cloudier than last night. So therefore, the temperatures will be higher with this area of low pressure gradually lifting its way further northwards, bringing along with it some outbreaks of rain. Possibly still A Touch Of Frost underneath any clear spells across the shelter glens of scotland, but elsewhere it will be a frost free start to the day on saturday. Now the area of low pressure continues to roll its way northwards and eastwards, and it will bring with it some spells of rain. So some outbreaks of mostly light, patchy rain across parts of South West England into wales, the midlands, pushing further north into Northern England and Northern Ireland a bit later on through the day. But it� s mostly dry across much of scotland. We� ve still got that easterly wind, but blowing a bit more from the south easterly direction across the south east of england. Here some brighter spells and it will feel a bit warmer, 13 or iii degrees, but still cold for north sea facing coasts in particular, added Wind Chilljust six degrees celsius in aberdeen. And that rain will continue to push its way further northwards and eastwards as we head through sunday. So many of us seeing some wet weather throughout the day for mother� s day. If you� re out and about, just bear that in mind. There will be spells of rain across the South Of England pushing through into eastern wales, at least possibly reaching the rest of wales and north west england by the time we get to the end of the day. Some rain, too, just spreading in from the south across parts of scotland. But it won� t be raining all the time. Still cold for these north sea facing coasts. Temperatures just ten or 11 degrees celsius underneath the cloud and the rain. But then the winds lighten as we head into the start of next week as that low pressure pulls its way further eastwards. So there will be a lot of dry weather around on monday and tuesday. And although it could be quite cloudy for many of us, it won� t feel so cold because the winds will be that bit lighter. Temperatures are set to climb, though, as we head through the week. Bye bye
