health organization? i was speaking earlier to the spokesperson, a - earlier to the spokesperson, a senior adviser to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on some of those points people have been raising about the humanitarian situation, and particularly about this ongoing fighting. as well as a large numbers of civilians being killed. he maintained the same point several times, saying when the fighting is over, he said it would become apparent israel had done everything possible to try and protect lives. that's an interesting point, we've seen a lot of the work our courageous local colleagues had been doing in gaza, but internationaljournalists been doing in gaza, but international journalists are been doing in gaza, but internationaljournalists are unable international journalists are unable to internationaljournalists are unable to get in there to see for themselves what is happening and to support those local colleagues. that is why so much of what we see is based on the testimony of one side, while he said time will pass and it will be apparent israel did what it could to protect civilians, of course the hamas run health ministry says more than 17,000 civilians have been killed in gaza and the world health organization as well have been holding a special session to in geneva about the health situation in the occupied palestinian territories. they were giving some granular detail about some of the hardships people are facing in gaza, notjust hardships people are facing in gaza, not just to hardships people are facing in gaza, notjust to do with the crumbling health system there, but also the lack of basic things, of food and fuel and sanitation kits. the very, very simple things people need to stay alive and to stay healthy. they are putting out that message to the world but only a ceasefire will help preserve the health and well—being of people in gaza, but of course it is well over one week since that last ceasefire ended added seems there is very little prospect, at least in the short—term, of another one being brought in to replace it. as this continues, we hear more and more about the dire situation people in gaza find themselves in. that more about the dire situation people in gaza find themselves in.— in gaza find themselves in. that is ri . ht, in gaza find themselves in. that is riaht, and in gaza find themselves in. that is right. and we _ in gaza find themselves in. that is right, and we talk— in gaza find themselves in. that is right, and we talk about _ in gaza find themselves in. that is right, and we talk about the - right, and we talk about the humanitarian situation, we see those people, more than1 million people displaced from the north of the strip to the south, and you have now people being told which areas are safe, which areas might take them away from the continuing israeli bombardment. those areas are becoming smaller and smaller, and the number of people needing them is becoming larger as more are having to leave their homes. the weather is starting to turn at this time of the year, it is getting colder. you have people who fled their homes without their possessions, without things like warm close and blankets. there isn't enough food, enough clean water, and while this continues and while the amount of humanitarian aid going in remains less than it needs to be, before the war it was around 500 trucks of a day that would pass through the crossing. at the moment it is something like 100 on a good day. it is nowhere near the need of all of those people, so many more who are displaced from their homes as this war has gone on. and no real sign that any kind of concrete plan is being put in place to try and alleviate that huge need. anna, thank ou alleviate that huge need. anna, thank you very _ alleviate that huge need. anna, thank you very much. _ alleviate that huge need. anna, thank you very much. anna -

argentina can expect. javier milei - has won because he offered something radically different. argentina is currently in an economic crisis, 150% annual inflation, four in ten argentinians living in poverty, so people wanted change, he offered it. you mention the us dollar, he said he wanted to destroy the central bank. there were drastic policies that people thought we will give it a shot. since he has won, he has reigned back a bit on those, so we has hired a more traditional conservative, the former head of the central bank to be his economy minister. he is watching and waiting and making sure he doesn't make the crisis any worse, because that is what argentinians are watching. he has a short honeymoon period to make sure the economy is better and people are more encouraged by the political direction they are going on. ~ . , political direction they are going on, ~ ., , ., political direction they are going on. ~ . , ., ., ., on. what is it about him that made him win so — on. what is it about him that made him win so much _ on. what is it about him that made him win so much of— on. what is it about him that made him win so much of the _ on. what is it about him that made him win so much of the popular- on. what is it about him that made i him win so much of the popular vote? he'sjust not... he him win so much of the popular vote? he's just not... he talks about reining against the political caste, so argentina has a traditional political history. one peron and his wife are famous figures, and his populist approach of government spending, making sure the poor are looked after. that is an honourable objective, but government spending has risen. he went on campaigns where they chainsaw to bow to slash government spending. that is something he said he will do, he's cut the number of ministers in his cabinet and he's really going in with that approach, cutting down spending to rein in inflation and make the life of argentinians better. it's a difficult situation, he's not the first leader to try and make things better. he's certainly got a novel approach. just how able he is to carry out that novel approach, everybody will be watching and waiting to see exactly what he can achieve. i and waiting to see exactly what he can achieve-— can achieve. i know it's been written he's _ can achieve. i know it's been written he's a _ can achieve. i know it's been written he's a climate -

of opposition. interesting times, | i'm sure, for argentinian politics. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. we're under way in the premier league — with manchester city against luton one of three games about half an hour in. city are without erling haaland for the match — who's injured — a blow for them and most people's fantasy football teams! the score at kenilworth road is 0—0. 15 minutes into the game there. pep guardiola hoping to avoid a fifth winless game in a row, for the first time in his managerial career. everton are at home to chelsea — where it's 0—0. sean dyche's side looking for successive wins, following their points deduction. fulham also looking to follow up from midweek with another win. 0—0 against west ham. and later, a huge match for both spurs and newcastle — as they look to bounce back from defeats this week. tottenham became the first team in premier league history to fail to win five consecutive matches after taking the lead in all of them, but their boss ange postecoglou remains postive for the future. there's been progress made, for sure, in many areas. other areas we need to do a lot of work in. we have obviously had some challenges within that timeframe of injuries which have disrupted our sort of ability to have a consistent line—up out there. we have to work our way through this difficult period, but we are still at the beginning of what we are trying to build. xabi alonso's bayer leverkusen have the chance to go six points clear at the top of the german bundesliga. they kick off against third—placed stuttgart in a few minutes time. that's because bayern munich — their nearest rivals — were thrashed by eintracht frankfurt on saturday. 5—1 it finished, as the 11—time defending champions fell to their first defeat of the season. bayern go to manchester united on tuesday in the champions league as both teams aim to bounce back from shock defeats — united losing to bournemouth 3—0 at old trafford on saturday. england captainjos buttler says it is the start of a long journey after they lost their one day series against the west indies 2—1, falling to a four—wicket defeat in barbados. ben duckett top scored with 71 to help england post 206—9 from a0 overs after a rain delay. and a further downpour left west indies with a revised target of 188 from 3a overs, which they achieved with 1a balls to spare, to give them a first home series win over england in the format since 1998. the two sides will now prepare for the five—match t20 series this that begins on tuesday, also in barbados. in australia, the men's big bash league game between melbourne renegades and perth scorchers was abandoned afterjust 41 deliveries because of an unsafe pitch. the players were taken off after the umpires stopped play to inspect the pitch. the decision was greeted by boos from the fans. anthony davis scored 41 points to help the los angeles lakers to victory against the indiana pacers in the nba's first in—season tournament final. davis also registered 20 rebounds, five assists and four blocks, whilst lebronjames added 2a points and 11 rebounds in a 123—109 win. lebron also named the most valuable player of the inaugural nba cup. my youngest over here, my second year guys, some haven't experienced play—off basketball. some of their paycheques aren't as equipped as some of the older guys in the team. some of ourfans some of the older guys in the team. some of our fans during december some of the older guys in the team. some of ourfans during december and january stall out, so i feel it's my obligation and responsibility to keep everyone engaged what our beautiful sport. and finally, the baseball world is still reacting to the news that show—hey ohtani has joined the los angeles dodgers on a gigantic 10—year, 700 million dollar contract. the japanese star was a free agent after leaving the la angels at the end of last season. ohtani's deal surpasses the previous highest in sport, which was that of kansas city chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes — he agreed a 10—year, $450 million extension in 2020. and that's all the sport for now. still goalless in the man city luton match. a judge has strongly criticised the bbc for failing to release a large number of emails relating to martin bashir�*s 1995 interview with princess diana on panorama. the documents had been requested by a journalist, who was investigating what managers at the corporation knew about the controversial interview. martin bashir stepped down from his job at the bbc in 2021. with me is our culture correspondent charlotte gallagher. bring is up—to—date with what we
