Meanwhile, the us carried out its first airdrop of humanitarian aid for gaza on saturday with more than 30 thousand meals parachuted by three military planes. Here� s our correspondent wyre davies who is Injerusalem 7 with the latest on the chances of a ceasefire. There are increasingly positive signs around the hope for a cessation in hostilities, a temporary ceasefire, that could last perhaps as long as six weeks over the muslim holy month of ramadan. But i think it� s really important not to get ahead of ourselves here because there are still key differences between israeli demands and the demands of hamas. It� s understood the negotiators have arrived in cairo today. It� s not clear if there is an israeli delegation but hamas officials are said to have arrived. The israelis will probably want to know how many of the hostages being held by hamas are still alive and which ones would be released by hamas under the terms of this deal. It� s not clear, equally, how many palestinian prisoners would be released by israel as part of any deal. Hamas has also said in previous negotiations that it expects israeli troops to withdraw from gaza and for Gazan Civilians to be allowed to return to their home areas in the north of the gaza strip in the event of any peace negotiations. Those still remained those sticking points. It� s important that those are ironed out before we can say we are over the line. But it� s clear there is increasing pressure particular is increasing pressure particularly from the United States and the European Countries and countries in the arab world for some sort of cessation of hostilities because the humanitarian crisis in gaza is getting incredibly poor. We� ve heard from aid agencies talking about starvation. We know that there are some airdrops of aid from the americans. But this is a drop in the ocean, a fraction of what is needed. Of course, one would anticipate that, as a result of any peace deal, the Aid Operation Into Gaza would be significantly enhanced. A lot of pressure from outside but disagreements remain within the israeli side, disagreements between the israelis and hamas, as well. It� s too early to say these positive signs we� ve seen in the last few days mean that a peace deal is imminent. A have hamas delegation has arrived in cairo. There is no more information from hamas what are they going to do in cairo, there are sources close to this saying there could be a more closer approach to reaching a framework for a deal between israel and hamas, what remains is likely to be the final touches according to sources in egypt. We have also learned delegations and representatives from the United States and qatar are in cairo for the same purpose, whilst we have learned that israel should have sent a delegation but so far from Mad Cairo Beer have not got any confirmation that the israeli delegation is in cairo. There are hopes there will be a breakthrough especially after the incidence of the last three days which left a huge pressure on the sides to reach an agreement soon. We are ten days before the month of ramadan and there is pressure from all sides, all players and mediators to reach an agreement or a deal before the start of the holy month of ramadan in order to avoid from the complicated escalations as described by the egyptian Foreign Minister in the latest diplomacy forum, he said we have to reach an agreement before ramadan are to avoid further complications. What is offered on the table as the us sources over the last few hours as a deal of six weeks, the details of which is not clear yet but we have learned that israel has courted a us official more or less accepting the deal on offer and the onus is on hamas, we have learned from sources they say that there should be a full withdrawal from that there should be a full withdrawalfrom north that there should be a full withdrawal from north of gaza and ever turn to the homes in gaza whilst also learned from israel sources that though there were an acceptance from israel to come to cairo for talks sources and as you were quoted as saying they were not sent a delegation unless they learned how many hostages exactly are in hamas hands and the number expected to be the least from hamas and israel prisons therefore it is rising hopes cairo talks will be decisive on my step was reaching a deal at least before the coming few days especially with approach of ramadan. At least there is willing mediators and those watching the situation in gaza. But there� s a desperate need forfood inside gaza. In the past few minutes, the Hamas Run Health Ministry has said children have died of malnutrition and starvation in gaza� s kamal adwan hospital in the north of the strip. The head of the norwegian refugee council, jan egeland, has said he believes there is now a famine in northern gaza. I think there is a famine in the north. Yes. There is no other way to describe what has befallen on the 300,000 people who live in the ruins of the north and who haven� t had really any aid for a very long time, because israel is not opening the border crossings from where we could have had hundreds and hundreds of trucks to feed the women, the children, the families, the innocent. I was there for three days. Two nights i was prepared for nightmare. But it is worse. It� s much worse to be there to meet with the thousands of people who are trying to take your hand, get your attention, and to tell you we� re starving here, were dying here. Here, we� re dying here. We will be attacked here. We have fled five times to reach rafah, which is the southernmost point in the little gaza strip. And they� ve been under bombardment, you know, every day since since mid 0ctober. It� s it� s beyond belief. He can see pictures from last day at the moment, however he did say the Warning Shots were fired by the idf and several palestinians approached forces opposing what they cold an immediate threat and the idf responded by filing towards several individuals. Will follow reactions to that review and bring you more in the middle east later. Shehbaz sharif has been re elected as Prime Minister.

Let� s take you to South Korea Nowwhere A Mass Demonstration of doctors has begun. The korean medical association, the country� s biggest lobby group for doctors, is expecting a huge turnout. They� re protesting against the government� s plan to increase medical School Admissions by about 65 percent from 2025 to try and combat a shortage of doctors in a country with a rapidly ageing population. For more on this, we spoke to bbc korean� s yuna ku, who is in seoul. Doctors are staging a rally against the Government National assembly in seoul today. The doctor, according to doctors association, they reported around 20,000 doctors will participate in opposition to government plan to increase the number of doctors. It� s been two weeks since thousands ofjunior doctors walked out of hospital, ever since the government announced a package of policy changes aimed at improving essential medical care in the country. The most controversial measure is increasing the number of Medical School quota to about 5000 per year for five years from the current 3000. The doctors are insisting it will degrade the quality of medical service due to an increased number of incompetent doctors. The government has repeatedly warning that doctors who left hospitals will take legal responsibility for their actions, including suspension of medical licenses, unless they return to work until the end of february. Now, we don� t know exactly how many doctors returned and who didn� t following a long weekend, but for now it seems like most doctors chose not to return. So we� ll have to see how things unfold next week. Norway� s king harald is flying home via medical evacuation plane, after being discharge from hospital in malaysia.

Jeremy hunt will set out the government� s tax and Spending Plans on wednesday with Growing Calls within the Conservative Party to bring down taxes. Let� s get more from our Political Correspondent harry farley who� s in the newsroom. What has jeremy hunt What Hasjeremy Hunt been seen . What has jeremy hunt been seen . The What Hasjeremy Hunt been seen . Tie indications are What Hasjeremy Hunt been seen . Tij indications are this will be a limited budget, the chancellor was talking up the prospect of a big tax cuts, he compared himself to nigel lawson and this was supposed to be a big moment for the conservative government, part of their big offer to voters ahead of the general election. All that has changed, largely because the treasury has less money to play with if it is to stick within the rules it sets itself to manage the economy. Jeremy hunt is enabled of a bind, conservative mps are putting pressure on him to cut taxes, on the other Hand Ministers saying begging the chancellor for more money as has the chancellor for more money as has the Housing Secretary for this is Whatjeremy Hunt said this morning. Weve always said, we have been very consistent, that we would only cut taxes in a way that was responsible, prudent, and, if i may say, i think the most un conservative thing i could do would be to cut taxes by increasing borrowing. Because thats just cutting taxes and saying that future generations have to pick up the tax. So, i wont do that. But i do want, where its possible to do so responsibly, to move towards a lower tax economy. And i hope to show a path in that direction. But this will be a prudent and responsible budget for long term growth, tackling inflation, more investment, more jobs. And that path to lower taxation as and when we can afford it. We have to take everything at this stage with a bit of a pinch of salt, there is always Expectation Management because chancellors love to lower expectations so they can pull a rabbit out of the hat at the dispatch box but all the indications are this will be a more limited budget and perhaps are this will be a more limited budget and Perhaszeremy Hunt had hoped for a few weeks ago.
