We start with the situation in gaza. A ship carrying humanitarian aid is expected to set sail to the territory from cyprus this weekend as part of a planned maritime aid corridor. Its a joint operation between the eu, us, uk and United Arab Emirates aiming to bring supplies from cyprus to the coast of gaza. The un says a quarter of gazas population is on the brink of famine, and children there are starving to death. Organisers hope the plan could allow large amounts of extra aid, but say it will be complex and continue to press israel to allow more deliveries by road. These are the latest pictures from larnaca, in cyprus, where, as you can see, aid is being loaded onto a ship, which is due to depart in a couple of hours. Earlier i spoke to hiba tibi shes the Country Director of Care International palestine and she explained the challenges of getting aid into gaza. Any plan that is being taken currently to increase aid in gaza is welcome. These are, unfortunately, aiming to save as many lives as possible. However, we need to think of the efficiency, the speed of that action, and the already existing routes we can take, which is accelerating the Rafah Border Entry Point and maybe opening areas, allowing other commercial trucks to enter into gaza, along with a safe environment for humanitarian organisations to facilitate the access of aid to the right people, to the weakest and most vulnerable. Give us a sense of what is like in gaza right now when it comes to aid, how much is getting in, how much is being distributed at the moment . There are differences between the north and the south. Although there are some continuous Military Action still in the south, targeted actions, however, the aid is entering. Of course, the quantity of the aid is very limited. It was already very limited injanuary, and the numbers in february were half of what we have entered in january. So the distribution is very limited, it takes place in a more just way, if i can say, where everyone can access it, including women and elderly. In the north, as we have seen, the restrictions are a little bit higher. Not a little bit, actually, they are higher. The number of aid trucks that are entering are extremely limited. We have seen that with the airdrops, those who are able to access the aid are the ones who are stronger, so you would see the ones who are stronger and faster can get the aid. But leaving the rest, again, women, elderly, people with disabilities, unable to access it. It is very, very limited. Do feel that the movements we have seen in the past few days when it comes to getting more aid into gaza that the International Community is now mobilising and starting to Work Together to deal with this huge humanitarian crisis . We hope, and we continue to try to advocate for a full ceasefire. We are going to try to have more aid entering in a more systemic, organised way. The most important part is also to allow the different actors, including the humanitarian organisations, to work, for instance, in the north and also in certain areas in the south in a way that would allow an equitable access for the existing aid that is entering. And of course if we accelerate it, increase the numbers to the sufficient requirements currently in the north and the south would be the best option that we have. The aid through existing borders, on the road borders, including rafah areas, etc. A Fertility Clinic in london has had its licence to operate suspended due to significant concerns about the unit. The Homerton Fertility Centre has been told it must not start new procedures, but can continue to see existing patients. The clinic said there had been three separate cases of errors in the freezing of embryos. The bbc understands as many as 150 embryos could have been affected in incidents, involving up to 45 patients, although this has not been confirmed by the trust. Lets speak to dr sarris ippokratis, director and consultant in reproductive medicine at kings Fertility Clinic, in london, but this morning is in athens givng lectures. Lets is in athens givng lectures. Talk about what could i happened lets talk about what could have happened at this clinic. They have said that there have been free separate incidents highlighting errors and in some freezing processes. They have not given details. Just explain how the process works and where these errors could have occurred. You process works and where these errors could have occurred. Could have occurred. You are absolutely could have occurred. You are absolutely right, could have occurred. You are absolutely right, we could have occurred. You are absolutely right, we do could have occurred. You are absolutely right, we do not l could have occurred. You are absolutely right, we do not know exactly what has happened. There is an mitigation under way. I think it is important to say here that we do know it is quite common for embryos not to freeze. In fact, that is International Consensus and papers that say you should expect 90 of the embryos that you freeze to unfreeze. Every Fertility Clinic has its faulty management system, and as such they have to look at indicators. When you start to look at things out of the expected range and you start investigating. Obviously this is probably what happened in this case. They have referred themselves to the regulator, so we clearly assume that something is beyond just the expected and they are looking into it. We do not know the exact details. There are a number of reasons were embryos will not unfreeze. There are biological reasons, that is to be expected, but again it has to do with technique. That something that only each clinic and individual will be able to look at, the special operating procedures, and everything is double witnessed by a few different practitioners. Beyond that they want to do a full and thorough investigation as to exactly like they had these concerns and referred themselves to the regulator. Fertility procedures are extremely expensive and are for many people they are their only hope of having a child. How tightly regulated is this industry the . People watching may be concerned about their own embryos and other Fertility Clinics. Concerned about their own embryos and otherFertility Clinics. You concerned about their own embryos and other Fertility Clinics. And other Fertility Clinics. You are absolutely and other Fertility Clinics. You are absolutely right, and other Fertility Clinics. You are absolutely right, the and other Fertility Clinics. You are absolutely right, the foletti and other Fertility Clinics. You are | absolutely right, the foletti sector in the uk is the most regulated part of medicine. It actually has his own Act Of Parliament specifically and its own bespoke regulator. All of the rest of medicine has one regulator, the coc. But in the Fertility Sector we have our own regulator. So it is actually very highly regulated. We are actually a pioneer throughout the world on how we regulate fertility services. Other countries look to the uk and how that can be done appropriately. Doctor, thank you forjoining us with your expertise on the subject. Lets turn to the war in ukraine now and the risk of the Conflict Spilling over into europe. The prospect of a second Trump White House is still very much alive, and the french president Emmanuel Macron has in recent days again spoken about the prospect of greater european involvement in the war. Former trump advisor and Foreign Affairs specialist fiona hill spoke to Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko on ukrainecast. She gave her take on the impact of a potential second donald Trump Presidency on the war in ukraine. In your view, does Trump Presidency make the likelihood of a ukrainian defeat in the war more likely . Well, it is, if Everyone Isjust Waiting around for the United States. But i think this part of the discussion is, dont wait. Macrons speech is one thing, but actions should have been ta ken yesterday. To be honest, if i were in europe and in my various roles i was always trying to verge this i would have been thinking about all of this right from the get go, from after the annexation of crimea, rethinking what the implications is for European Security, but still thinking that this was just about the Territory Dispute of crimea and donbas, where predominantly russian speakers were and people had more of an affinity towards russia than elsewhere in ukraine. But most certainly after february of 2022, there should have been these kind of debates. Because this is about European Security, and i think the part of the problem has been europeans have been relying on the United States for too long. Fiona hill also looked at the threat posed by russia to European Security, and whether macron is trying to fill a potential void left by the United States. Macron is certainly trying to fill it rhetorically here with these very bold statements, as you are pointing out. But action is needed. He is talking about something in that speech, in many respects, that seems close but still far off. We are in the here and now of a hot war, the biggest Land War In Europe since world war ii, with millions of refugees, and this is a full on crisis. The whole of European Security is at stake, which he rightly points out. And you can find ukrainecast on bbc sounds and listen at any time.

Police forces across england and wales are to each be given £1 million to try and tackle rising cases of anti social behaviour. The fund will be used to provide extra officer patrols. It follows the success of a Pilot Project which has helped reduce the number of incidents by as much as a0 . Our reporter Eleanor Lawrie has more. On patrol in blackpool with the antisocial behaviour squad. This neighbourhood was notorious for things like shoplifting and criminal damage, but this trial has helped to cut antisocial behaviour by more than a0 . It could be a small report, noise complaints, Someone Making Noise in the area. We have spots we will stop by. Check in with the communities. The team helped to recover a Mobility Scooter after it was stolen. Lynn and her neighbour annie say they still do not feel safe. Two weeks later, i got it back. The police done marvellous. These Community Patrols which target Antisocial Behaviour Hotspots will now be rolled out across all 43 forces in england and wales. We will walk around, foot patrol, it brings faith in that community, which is what is happening here. We have a lot of people happy to come and speak to us. They say the intervention is working, with incidents in this part of blackpoole down by a third year on year. But one of the challenges of antisocial behaviour is that some of it is not classed as criminal, and some victims feel they are not getting enough support. In west lancashire, ian spent months making detailed records of his neighbours verbal abuse to pass on to police and the council. I hear, shut up, shut up. I have been told i am rotten. I am being told i should be burnt alive. Ians elderly neighbour is convinced he is running loud Washing Machines inside his house, and she shouts and bangs on the wall all hours of the day and night to complain. The Police Investigate and visit and decide it is not a criminal act so they walk away and say it is for the council to respond and the council say this is a police matter. It is not malicious on her part, it is just her age and her health. 80 of victims of antisocial behaviour were told the incidents cannot be classed as crimes. But according to the Charity Victim support, they want this group to be recognised under the new victims and prisoners bill so they have certain rights. While ian feels he has fallen through the cracks, the government is hoping the roll out of more schemes like this one in blackpool will go some way to making people in other communities feel safer. Highfive . Eleanor lawrie, bbc news. The felling of the Sycamore Gap Tree on Hadrians Wall led to an outpouring of emotion from around the world. Two people are on bail, after the tree was chopped down last september in what police say was a deliberate act of vandalism. But now it could live on, as horticulturalists from the National Trust have have successfully grown the first seedlings from the felled tree. Harriet bradshaw reports. At a Top Secret Location in devon, a site of biosecurity, where the National Trust is protecting the legacy of the nations most famous trees. Ive been invited to witness history hope for the future of the Sycamore Gap Tree. A lot of people might think itsjust a sycamore, you know, a sycamore but its a really important sycamore. The Sycamore Gap Tree, northumberland, a place described by some as sacred. But it was cut down last september, which police are investigating, and what followed was a national outpouring of emotion. Everyone seems to have a story about how they connect to the tree. Some people have been proposed to Underneath It, other people just saw it as a way mark on theirjourney from one place to another. Others have seen it in the film, you know, the robin hood film, and even people who have never been there before seemed quite emotionally connected to it as well. And yet there are signs of life. In a race against time, the National Trust managed to rescue seeds from the felled tree and now they are growing. Within this mini greenhouse, within this secret greenhouse is a tiny little seedling, and this was the first of the sycamore gaps seeds to pop up. And the team here say when they saw this growing they knew there was hope. But raising seedlings isnt the only way the trees legacy can be preserved. We spliced that one in there. So this is true genetic material from the Sycamore Gap Tree. Chris trimmer used a technique called grafting to grow shoots from the last Surviving Living Twigs of the Sycamore Gap Tree itself. He was on duty when bits of the tree arrived by post and nine of the 20 grafts are now showing signs of life. I think theres a great deal of relief. It is a race against time, because obviously want to cut a tree down its physically dying straightaway. There was a lot of pressure on us to get the thing growing, luckily we did. The grafting of the sycamore gap materials would have looked Something Like this. Juliette stubbington shows me the process using a different tree. Why was it important to be doing this with the sycamore gap . This is the only way that we would kind of preserve that genetic strain from sycamore gap. This method means we have actually used the original material from that tree, so weve got a genetic clone. So, basically the sycamore gap can live on from that tree . It is the same tree. This Conservation Centre isnt open to the public because of the rare heritage plants being protected and conserved here. This is the hall of fame of all the stars of our gardens. Wow, look at that the National Trust has preserved other iconic trees here in case something should happen to the originals. If a storm came along or a disease, we actually have a complete replica that we can just replace, which is amazing. Sir issac newtons apple tree if there is an apple who you might want to sit Underneath It to test the theory of gravity. Could this be where the sycamore gap saplings go . Imagine 50 Sycamore Seedlings growing in here. When theyve grown up, the National Trust says it will be the community and the nation who decide where they are planted. There is also a chance the tree may just regrow from the stump left behind, with rangers watching for signs of life. For now, Seeds Of Hope protecting the legacy of the Sycamore Gap Tree forfuture generations. Harriet bradshaw, bbc news. Now, one couple in the uk made the decision that there would be no church bells at their wedding, but rather the blaring two tone horn of an intercity train to wales. Leah anderson and vince smith now mr and mrs smith met and had their first kiss on a train. So they decided to get married on a train, too. Our correspondent frances read met them as they finally boarded the love train. Right on time at paddington station, this is the non stop service to matrimony via cardiff. Leah is getting married on board and most of herfamily worked on the railways her dad and her grandfather. But it is also where love blossomed for her and her husband to be. Perfect, thank you. The first time we saw each other was on a Great Western railway train, and then we ended up spending hours and hours together that day and we got the last train back. Which is when we had our first kiss as well. That was quite romantic. No delays for this train. And platform one, the perfect entrance for this bride. Within moments, theyre all aboard. It is the exchange of rings in first class and then somewhere heading out of london, married. Cheering. Finally into cardiff to let the family off. It has been a big day. It has been so overwhelming. I am lost for words, really. We need to let it sink in. When it is finished, it will sink in finally. It has been nothing but amazing. The bride and groom continue on to swansea to start their happily ever after. Frances read, bbc news. Now its time for a look at the weather. Hello again, some of us in central and eastern areas of england started off with sunshine, but fairly cloudy elsewhere. Look at the cloud it in denbighshire this morning, some misty conditions to contend with. So today we will see a mixture of some sunny spells. Allow pressure to the south west throwing up cloud and some showers. We have already had showers in South West England, they will spread into south wales for a time. A bit more cloud in Northern Ireland and northern england. Sunshine the far north west of scotland, Sunny Continuing in east anglia. In the sunshine at not feeling too bad. Through tonight we will see more persistent rain spreading in from the south, which will set up quite a wet start to sunday morning, although it will be frost free. How about mothering sunday . It is going to be pretty wet, certainly wetter than today, that rain into central and southern scotland, over england, through the midlands and south east. It will move westwards into north wales, but some sunny spells for South West England and south wales. Temperatures lower for tomorrow because of the cloudy skies and that rain. Into next week, ian area of low pressure moves to the east. Monday should be a quieter sort of day, but we still have an easterly airflow bringing quite a lot of cloud on monday. Should be largely dry, some brighter and sunny spells towards Western Areas of the uk. Temperature is pretty typicalfor the time of year. For the rest of the time of year. For the rest of the week, southern and eastern areas should remain largely dry. There will be some spells of sunshine, temperatures actually rising.
