Lets return to the hague where south africa is asking the Uns Highest Court to instruct israel to stop its offensive in rafah. These are live pictures from the International Court ofjustice, the hearing is the latest intervention by the South African Government in its legal case against israel. It says as well as direct Military Attacks israel is starving palestinians in gaza by obstructing deliveries of food, fuel and medicines.

We were listening to more of those listening to more of those proceedings in just a listening to more of those proceedings injust a moment but lets get the latest from our correspondent in the hague and following all the developments there. Lets remind ourselves of why south africa is bringing this case. Any country which has a member of the convention has a responsibility to ensure that there are no violations of that convention but secondly, south africa sees parallels between apartheid in south africa and the situation that palestinians in gaza are facing right now. We are an hour into this hearing and, as you heard, south africas legal team are laying out their arguments. They are basically asking for thejudges their arguments. They are basically asking for the judges here at the Uns Highest Court, the world court as it is often referred to, to issue three emergency rate measures. You cannot hear protesters this time round although it is the fourth time that south africa has made this request to the court for an order for israel to cease hostilities and to immediately withdraw. That is because this hearing was held up so quickly which is an indication of how seriously thejudges quickly which is an indication of how seriously the judges here are taking this. As well as asking the court to order israel to immediately withdraw from rafa, the south african legal team has said that un investigators, humanitarian aid organisations and journalists must be allowed in to ensure the provision of food, water and medical supplies. And also if there are any violations of the Genocide Convention taking place that evidence can be gathered for any future trials. They have also asked the judges to order israel to report back to the court within a week in how it is in preventing any measures and ijust want how it is in preventing any measures and i just want to give you how it is in preventing any measures and ijust want to give you some of the details that we have heard in court from the lawyers for south africa. Israels actions in rafa are part of the endgame this is the last step in the destruction of gaza. They also talked about apartheid and also made a link between what is happening now in rafah and what happened in srebrenica insofar as rafah is being seen as the last safe zone for palestinians in gaza. South africa says that if rafah is not protected it will make it very difficult if not impossible to rebuild gaza and preserve palestinian life in gaza. Now and in the future. Israel, of course, we should say well have a chance to defend itself in Court Tomorrow and will also have two hours and israels legal team is in court and you can probably hear the rumble of engines outside the peace palace are now waiting to take people away. This is a hugely contentious case, it is properly the most sensitive case that the icj has ever dealt with and that is why it is generating so much attention full stop south africa has said that there is no other option, this is there is no other option, this is the last hope and that is why they are applying to judges here at the icj to issue these Emergency Measures to protect the palestinian life in gaza. �.

Of every palestinian who is suffering at the hands arguments. Of every palestinian who is suffering at the hands of. Who is suffering at the hands of israels relentless Genocidal Campaign. Indeed, this court has held in Bosnian Genocide that quote it is sufficient to examine those facts that would illuminate the question of intent or illustrate the claim by the applicant of a pattern of acts committed against members of the group such as to lead to an inference from such a pattern of the existence of a specific intent. End quote. In these submissions, i show that israels genocidal acts against palestinians in rafa form part of a continuing escalating pattern of conduct across gaza that provides persuasive and consistent evidence of israels genocidal conduct. In light of these new facts, south africa seeks an order from the court, the only order, that will clearly protect what is left of palestinian life in gaza. It seeks an explicit order that israel cease its military activities, not only in rafah but throughout gaza. Turning then to the genocidal acts, in my remaining time before you i will highlight the following features of the Genocidal Campaign by israel. First, israel has continued to kill palestinians in gaza including women and children at an alarming rate. Second, as a result of israels onslaught, palestinians in gaza are facing what the Anderson Industry General of the union described as the worst humanitarian crisis as he has seen in more than 50 years. Third, israels systematic targeting and bombardment of hospitals and medicalfacilities and and bombardment of hospitals and medical facilities and its throttling of humanitarian aid has pushed gazas medical system to collapse. Fourth, israels direct attack and siege of gazas biggest hospitals has led to the Uncovering Of Mass Graves evidencing Israeli Massacres of palestinians seeking shelter and medical treatment. Finally, most recently, israel has intensified its attacks in the north while pressing on with its rafah offensive. Leaving displaced palestinians nowhere safe to go. I will take these in turn. The first feature of the genocidal conduct, killing. Since south africa appeared before the court on 11 january, 2024, at least 11,500 palestinians have been directly killed by israel. The majority of these casualties are women and children. In an enclave where nearly 50 of the population are children. This onslaught has occurred despite the binding orders issued by this court. And the Binding Security Council resolution on 25 march, 2024, demanding an immediate ceasefire for the month of ramadan. In fact, immediate ceasefire for the month of ramadan. Infact, as immediate ceasefire for the month of ramadan. In fact, as unicef pointed out, a double digit number of children were killed within hours of that resolution. Two mothers and four children are killed every hour. Owner ahead philippe lazzarini, says there are no words left that can do any justice to the there are no words left that can do anyjustice to the people of gaza. The numbers of dead and Injured Defy Comprehension at least 35,000 palestinians killed and 79,000 injured with 10,000 more reportedly missing or beneath rubble. Up to 1. 7 million displaced, most multiple times, and more than 70 of all Housing Stock in gaza and more than 80 are in parts of the northern region, damaged or destroyed. That is where we region, damaged or destroyed. That is where we are region, damaged or destroyed. That is where we are going to leave proceedings at the International Court ofjustice, just a reminder that israel will have its time to respond tomorrow.

China and russia have put on a display of unity and mutual support during a meeting of the two leaders in beijing. There were smiles, handshakes and warm words from both xi jinping and Vladimir Putin at the start of the russian leaders two day visit to china. Our correspondent laura bicker sent this report from beijing. In the west he is seen as a pariah, but in china, President Putin is a key partner, as beijing seeks a new world order, one not led by the united states. The red carpet was rolled out complete with a Red Army Band welcome, as they walked together in a show of defiance against western pressure. Mr putin needs china. Its become an economic lifeline for an isolated and heavily sanctioned russia. Translation china will always be your Good Neighbour and good friend of mutual trust with russia. Mr putin said he would inform president xi about the situation in ukraine. And he said he would welcome chinas role as peacemaker. Beijing put forward a 12 point peace plan more than a year ago, but it received a lukewarm welcome from both ukraine and russia. But while mr xi is trying to play peacemaker, hes also accused of helping to fuel russias war. If the west wants to stop russias advances in ukraine they know here is one place they can do that. Beiking is not supplying moscow with weapons, but the west believes it is supplying russia with components that it can use in its war machine. The us has a raft of new sanctions at the ready, this time to target chinese banks, so president xi has a decision to make. Beijing does need moscow. Russia supplies it with cheap oil and gas. This Soaring Trade also helps shield mr putin from western sanctions. But there are ukrainians sheltering in beijing whose voices are growing louder. This woman translates news from her home country and puts it on social media. Just let them know the truth about this war. It was tough emotionally, to be honest, and it took a lot of time, but 100 people were working hard to translate official news and speeches of president zelensky, so we decided to do this work, because who else . Beijing is not likely to make any policy shifts. Instead, the two pledged to deepen their partnership, but mr xi will be calculating just how much hes willing to pay for mr putins war. Laura bicker, bbc news, beijing. Donald trumps former lawyer Michael Cohen will soon return to the stand for another day of testimony at a new york court in the former president s hush money trial. Hes already been giving evidence for two days with the defence attacking cohens credibility, bringing up his many social media comments bashing trump. Lets speak to jessica roth, Professor Of Law at Cardozo School of law. Shejoins us from she joins us from new york, welcome to you, thank you being with us. Take us through what we have heard for the past few days with his evidence on you make of it was yellow Michael Cohen on direct examination was an effective witness. He took the jury through the catch and kill scheme to catch and suppress stories that were negative about donald trump in the lead up to the president ial election. Lead up to the president ial election lead up to the president ial election. ,. , election. The payment to Stormy Daniels that election. The payment to Stormy Daniels that he election.

He has provided the entire narrative arc of the prosecutions case. Now he is on Cross Examination which continues today and we will see his Defence Attorney to try to destroy his credibility so they can argue to the jury that they should not place weight on his testimony. What do you make of that argument . And how they have managed to construct it so far, have they been effective in destroying his coat ability because he is a crook proven liar .

So far, it does not appear that the Defence Attorneys are doing an effective job of destroying his credibility. His allegations have already been brought out on a prosecution by their prosecution. They need to do more to bring out times when he has lied and show how he did so whenever he perceived it to be to his advantage to do so and then to suggest to the jury that he is lying now because he thinks it is to his advantage to do so given his current position. I think they will also need to do a more effective job of persuading the jury that he is biased towards the former president because he has essentially now lost so much on account of his prior loyalty to the former president and as a consequence he is really not being careful about the details of what precisely donald trump was involved in and what he wasnt because the defence would suggest that Michael Cohen is so bent on bringing down donald trump.

We will see some outbreaks of Rain Continuing Westwards across the midlands and into wales. Some heavy foundry downpours up to the south of that. Northern england and scotland, some decent spells of sunshine but even here, one or two heavy showers breaking out, temperatures in scotland up to 24 degrees. More generally, 17 to 21. Always feel a bit cooler than that where you have the cloud and the rain. Through the Late Afternoon and through the evening could turn very heavy indeed across parts of the West Midlands and mid and north wales.

Into the weekend, we will continue to see some mist and fog particularly at night and in the mornings. Also some spells of warm sunshine but with some heavy showers particularly, on saturday where you are closest to this area of low pressure. The centre just to the south of us could see some more persistent rain across South East England and it will tend to clear in the Southern Parts will bear the brunt of the showers on saturday but further note we will see a lot of mr merck and low cloud first thing and some spells first Thing Creeping into Northern Ireland and the temperatures will be knocked back a little bit for some areas and into sunday mostly dry with some showers and the best of the sunshine to be across england and wales and more clad Northern Ireland and scotland.
