Including a medic, are reported to have been killed by an israeli air strike near a hospital. And a United Nations team visiting gazas biggest hospital has found that many palestinans who were injured as lorries were delivering aid on thursday, were wounded by gunshots. American officials have confirmed that the us military has carried out its first airdrop of humanitarian aid into gaza, today. You can see here us Military Planes flying over Deir Al Balah in the central gaza strip. Us officials confirmed over 35,000 meals were airdropped by parachute. This follows a Pledge On Friday by President Biden and the deaths of 112 palestinians during a rush on an aid convoy on thursday. Lets speak to our washington correspondent will vernon. Good correspondent will vernon. Morning to you there washington, good morning to you there in washington, dc. Tell us more about what us officials have been saying. Would have the us military, saying this first airdrop has been carried out. That was done in coordination with the jordanian out. That was done in coordination with theJordanian Air force, a C130 Dropping 38,000 meals along the coastline of gaza. This will not be the first, but part of an ongoing mission. There are expected to be many of these. Us Officials Say that is really supportive. It has been carefully planned to ensure that they are not any Civilian Casualties on the ground, because this is a very complex, actually a very inefficient way of delivering aid, delivering aid by trucks via land is much simpler and much more efficient. So the fact that the us has opted for this method not only shows how serious the humanitarian crisis is in gaza, but also i think it shows the us wants to send a message that more aid needs to get in by land, and indeed in that statement from the us military today, says that these airdrops are part of a sustained effort to get more aid into gaza, including by expanding the flow of aid through Land Corridors and routes. I wanted to ick u Land Corridors and routes. I wanted to pick up on Land Corridors and routes. I wanted to pick up on what Land Corridors and routes. I wanted to pick up on what you Land Corridors and routes. I wanted to pick up on what you mention, i to pick up on what you mention, theres slight, nuanced shift in the us position, it has generally been supportive of the israeli activity but this is a change in tone and a promise by President Biden on friday was that shift in the us position. What is the trajectory of this, do you think . What is the traectory of this, do you think . What is the traectory of this, do you think . Thats right. We have been hearing you think . Thats right. We have been hearing and you think . Thats right. We have been hearing and increasing you think . Thats right. We have | been hearing and increasing tone you think . Thats right. We have i been hearing and increasing tone of exasperation from President Biden, and other white house officials in recent weeks. Recently President Biden said he thought israels Military Operation in gaza was over the top, and recently, he said that israels plans to launch an offensive into the Garden City Of Rafah should not go ahead unless careful planning to place to ensure that Civilian Casualties, were minimised, and yesterday during a meeting with the italian Prime Minister we saw President Biden saying that only a handful of eight trucks were getting on, whereas it should be many more, much more than that. So i think, you know, there has been some frustration. But also, remember, it is an election year, here, particularly closely fought election campaign, particularly the rising, shaping up to be that way, and israel gaza is becoming an election issue here. President biden must walk a tricky tightrope. 0n the one hand he must ensure that the us is supporting a key ally, israel. 0n the other hand, he has to make sure he is not alienating progressives in his own party, or putting off traditional voters. We saw that in the state of michigan when a democrat Primary Election was held, over 100,000 people in michigan voted uncommitted, most of those were Protest Votes against President Biden for his support of israel, of course, the us hasnt called for an immediate ceasefire like many of those voters in michigan for example would like President Biden too, so that, i think, would like President Biden too, so that, ithink, was would like President Biden too, so that, i think, was a stark warning and a concerning, i think, sign for the white house, for the Biden Campaign that, come november, this could become a problem among key voters in those crucial swing states such as michigan. Iuroiiilii voters in those crucial swing states such as michigan. Such as michigan. Will vernon in washington. Such as michigan. Will vernon in washington, thank such as michigan. Will vernon in washington, thank you. The us drop come as a United Nations team visiting gazas biggest hospital has found that many palestinans who were injured as lorries were delivering aid on thursday, were wounded by gunshots, some to their upper bodies. There have been International Calls for an investigation into the incident. From jerusalem, our Diplomatic Correspondent paul adams reports. How were so many people injured . Were they shot or crushed in a desperate stampede . Gazas Shifa Hospital treating just some of the survivors, and now, for the First Time Since thursday, first hand testimony from the un. This hospital is treating more than 200 people that were injured. We have seen people with Gunshot Wounds we have seen amputees, and we have seen children as young as 12. These events cannot be allowed to go on. Jehad is haunted by what he saw when the convoy arrived on thursday morning. Were the soldiers firing deliberately . He is asked. Yes, with tanks, soldiers, aircraft. Gunfire in the pre dawn darkness, only the chaos was clear. How and why the shooting started is not yet properly understood. The crowds were huge, the panic palpable. Israel said troops felt threatened. How, these pictures do not show. Tanks were present. There is no evidence of aircraft being involved. The un finally reached gaza city yesterday, taking badly needed fuel and medicine to Shifa Hospital, demanding israel do more to open up the north. Jordan is still dropping aid from the air. Desperate to somehow make a difference, but air drops are no substitute for a proper relief effort. No matter where we go into north gaza from, or indeed all over the gaza strip it could be air, land, sea it doesnt matter, as long as there is enough aid to help the more than 2 Million People here. Israels closest allies are now sounding increasingly, openly frustrated. Aid flowing to gaza is nowhere nearly enough now, it is nowhere near enough. With each day that passes without enough aid, or a ceasefire, gazas long agony goes on. Bullets, bombs and hunger all now claiming lives. Paul adams with that report. Here, the government is expected to lay out measures in the coming weeks to tackle what it sees as rising extremism in the uk. It follows as uk Prime Minister rishi sunak warned that britains democracy is under threat from islamist extremists and the far right. In an address outside Downing Street he said the government and country must face down the extremists. Mr sunak� s unexpected intervention follows the by election victory of the controversial far left politician george galloway. 0ur Political Correspondent laila nathoo reports. The Prime Minister arriving back at Downing Street last night, ahead of an unusual address to the country from outside number 10, to warn that extremists were spreading poison. There are forces here at home trying to tear us apart. Since october the 7th, there have been those trying to take advantage of the very human angst that we all feel about the terrible suffering that war brings to the innocent, women and children. To advance a divisive, hateful ideological agenda. His speech was prompted by the election of the controversial veteran politician, george galloway, in thursdays by election in rochdale. Last night, he held a Victory Rally in his new constituency. He had fought his campaign promising to stand up for the people of gaza, and had this response to the Prime Ministers condemnation of his stance on the middle east. I won, and people are going to have to get used to it. Dont ask me questions that you asked me all through the campaign. I won, and that argument is closed. My views were my views and they were endorsed by the electorate. Rishi sunak said protests about the war in gaza had descended into intimidation, threats and planned acts of violence, and claimed democracy was being undermined. The labour leader sir keir starmer said that the Prime Minister was right to condemn unacceptable and intimidatory behaviour. But in describing george galloway� s victory in rochdale as beyond alarming, the Prime Minister also took aim leila nathoo, bbc news. Jonathan hall kc, the independent reviewer of state threat legislation gave his assessment on Prime Ministers speech. I think that he was trying to say to the police, theres a big problem here. So i think he was trying to articulate the urgency of the situation as i think the government sees it and i think the opposition as well. When i say emergency, what i mean is the threats to mps in particular and the threats to public life. So it wasnt a speech where he was laying out, at least to my ear, some very precise policy solutions, but he was drawing attention to the problem. One of the questions here is around the definition, the simple language, what is extremism . And this is a position weve been in before when it comes to defining terrorism. Whats the difference between terrorism and extremism . What do you expect the government to say on that front . Well, i mean, terrorism, which is actually, my main role is reviewing terrorism legislation, although its criticised as being quite a broad definition, it seems to have stood the test of time. Its been the same since the year 2000, when it was brought into force. And thats where the Direction Of Travel is, is serious violence, serious damage to property or threats, and done for a political and ideological or religious purpose. So i think we understand what terrorism is because its got as its destination violence. The difficulty about extremism is that its difficult to show, with much extremism, actually, that the ultimate destination is violence. And you could have someone who campaigns to bring about the end of democracy, but does so in a very peaceful way and says they dont use violence. And the government and this is not just this government, but its true of, i think all governments, its gone back almost ten years now, has always struggled to put a definition on extremism, because its not so much about the destination, violence, which we understand, its about the destination of something else. And i mean, the ways in which ive seen it, the attempts to define it, i think you can sort of do it in two ways. You can either say, what are the values that we hold dear in britain . And anyone who doesnt agree with those values is therefore an extremist. Now, that is difficult because you might take, i dont know, as a Touchstone Tolerance towards people being gay now. I mean, the majority of people in the uk have no difficulty at all with being tolerant. But of course there are people, i mean, lets say people motivated by religious views could be, you know, 0rthodoxjews or christians or muslims, who would say no. And that cant be a test of whether we are extremists. Otherwise, you would literally be saying someone who believes that homosexuality is a sin, as some people unfortunately do, that you are an extremist. And its always been quite hard to work out what those values are. So the other way of doing it is to say, lets look at the institutions, lets try and protect the institutions of the country against being undermined. Thats also difficult because obviously our institutions include the monarchy, they include the house of lords. And you dont really, i think you cant really say that someone who campaigns for the abolition of the monarchy is therefore an extremist. That would encroach far too much, wouldnt it, into just free speech and free thought . Its interesting you touch on how tangible this is, because when i was listening to Prime Minister sunak� s speech, i was thinking, if you copied and pasted this text and put it as a speech given by, say, the belarusian leader or President Putin or chinas president , many people would look at it and say, well, this is classic authoritarian language where its entirely subjective what we define as a countrys values and tolerances. How do we then square that with embodying this in legislation and actually acting it out in what is supposed to be a modern western democracy . I dont think thats fair. I dont think that the Prime Ministers speech was straight out of belarus. I mean, he stepped away from trying to really define what an extremist is. He raised the question, i think, but he didnt really answer it. I mean, ithink i personally prefer simplicity. And if you think about the group hizb ut tahrir, who were always described as extremists, recently, they were banned. And the reason they were banned is because they were actually encouraging terrorism. Another group that was a huge source of concern, al muhajiroun, they were also proscribed. So, i mean, you dont have to be a Violent Group in order to be a terrorist group. And i think that the approach of terrorism, at least, at least we understand what it means, because its really ultimately trying to prevent violence. As i said, the difficulty with extremism is working out what is it exactly youre trying to prevent or what is it exactly youre trying to encourage . Jonathan hall kc there. Unofficial figures from irans parliamentary elections held on friday put the turnout at about a0 which would be the lowest since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Irans rulers had been pressing for high participation to help repair the regimes reputation after nearly two years of protests, sparked by the death in custody of the young woman, mahsa amini. The bbc hasnt been allowed to report from iran for five years but our correspondent Caroline Davies has been given rare permission. The marks, made. The polls are closed, but the question is how many voted. At a Central Tehran polling station, a celebratory mood. This is one of the Polling Stations where both foreign and local media are directed to come, which means that for some, its also a place that they come to if they want to be seen to be voting. A newly married couple, former ministers and families like mr rohanis, out to cast their votes here. Translation those who dont vote are cutting themselves off from their own fate. They are saying we dont want to decide the future of our country. For me, its not the right choice. Early polling suggested that this could be a record low turnout across iran, but officials are optimistic. Translation the presence of people today proves that all the threats to the country and all the negative propaganda of the foreign media has failed. Still, people have come out. Iran has suggested that failing to vote risks undermining the countrys security, but some have other reasons not to. Shoppers were nervous to speak to foreign media today. One woman agreed, but anonymously. Translation the economy is very bad. Everything has gone very expensive and the salary we get is very low. Even if i vote or not vote, my demands are not solvable. Some analysts think a lost turnout means lost faith. Low turnout means dissatisfaction dissatisfaction on cultural issues, on political issues, on economic issues. I feel that people have lost their interest in politics in general, and this low turnout will be another sign of that too. Final turnout is pending.

Footballs rule makers gathered in scotland for their annual general meeting. Fifa president Gianni Infantino said he wanted to protect the essence of the game. No, there will not be any blue cards used at elite level. This is a topic that is is nonexistent for us. Fifa is completely opposed to blue cards. I was not aware of this topic, and i am the president of fifa, and i think fifa has a say in the ifab, so i do not know if you want the title, The Reigning Olympic and world long jump champion Miltiadis Tentoglou has threatened to quit the discipline if the rules change to eliminate fouljumps. Tentoglou earlier today added the world indoor title in glasgow to his collection. The amendment proposed by World Athletics involves Introducting A Take Off zone to make it more appealing to fans, i consider the long jump to be one of the hardest events. Because of the board and the accuracy, it is one of the most difficult sports. The jump itself is very easy, the hard part is the run up, not many people see it but i guarantee you it is like that. So they want to remove this and after this long jump will be the easiest event, anyone will be able to do long jump. So my second comment is, if that happens, i will not do long jump any more.

A major Blizzard Blowing into the us states of california and nevada has forced the closure of Yosemite National park. Ski resorts in the lake tahoe region have also shut down. A killer whale off the coast of south africa has been caught on Camera Hunting and killing a Great White Shark in less than two minutes. Scientists say the behaviour showed the exceptional Hunting Skill of killer whales, but raised questions about how shark eating orcas might affect the food chain in that part of the ocean. Victoria gill has more. The Shark Hunting Orcas in south africa have fascinated scientists since they were filmed working together to kill Great White Sharks back in 2022. Now, theres been a solo attack. Its filmed from a boat and tricky to make out in all the surface splashing. But watch carefully. The Pointed Dorsalfin at the front is a young, eight foot long Great White Shark with a solitary male orca in pursuit. Two minutes later, Scientists Say the orca was consuming parts of the sharks liver at the surface. Why would they go specifically for their livers . I suspect that its quite an easily digested and easily obtainable part of the carcass. Whats really stands out is, is how skillful that behaviour has to be. These animals have clearly become able to handle what would otherwise be an absolutely terrifying creature and handle them very efficiently, with some skill. The behaviour and intelligence of these marine predators is constantly surprising scientists. Researchers are still trying to work out why a population of orcas in the atlantic that we filmed last summer have taken to deliberately ramming into sailing vessels. The orcas in south africa appear to have learned to attack the sharks from the side, avoiding theirjaws. Its risky, but experts say it makes sense because if an orca can tackle a Great White Shark, thats a very large meal. Its another snapshot of the Hunting Prowess of one of the oceans most impressive predators. Victoria gill, bbc news. Ill be back in a moment with the headlines. Stay with us here on bbc news. Hello. Its been quite a cold day, a lot of showers, frequent showers across parts of england and wales but the skies are clearing across some parts of the country, A Touch Of Frost on the way and some fog, but showers never too far away in Northern England and scotland. Lets start with the air mass. Saturday evening, the blue colours indicating the relatively cold air over us. That will be in place in the short term. If we look at the recent snapshot of the satellite picture, these rugged, swirling Cloud Structures across england and wales and the same in scotland, shower clouds, but in between the gaps in the clouds will become bigger through the course of this evening. 9pm, two degrees in the midlands. Tim hoettges early on sunday, some city centres as far south as a south coast of england could be around freezing or below. Certainly a chilly start to sunday on the way. He was your weather map was sunday. With fonts in the north sea and to the of scotland, and we are sort of in between weather systems. That implies itll be a slightly brighter day on sunday. A chilly start with prost in places. A bit of fog, also. Through the day generally bright or sunny skies towards the south and west. Perhaps a bit more cloud around east anglia, the south east, the lincolnshire coast, with that Weather Front close by, but overall, a brighter day for most of us and as a brighter day for most of us and as a result, it will feel a little bit, lets say, less cold. Its a monday morning, another Weather Front moves in to south western and western parts, moves across ireland, with rain, strengthening winds also, but it tends the kind of stall out in the west during the day meaning that central and eastern parts should have a bright, if not sunny day, for example around aberdeenshire. The outlook for the week ahead, a bit of a mixed bag. But the temperature is holding up around double figures across most parts of the uk. That is it goodbye. This is bbc news, the headlines after President Bidens announcement on friday, us military cargo planes have begun dropping aid into gaza.
