Hello, im anna foster, live injerusalem. Let me take you to the skies above gaza, and these are pictures that show the latest drop of aid that has been carried out by Us Central Command and Jordanian Air force. This is the latest airdrop into gaza, which provided meals, more than 11,500 meal equivalents, food like rice, flour, pasta and canned food. We have seen these airdrops starting to increase over gaza in the last two weeks also since the us air force got involved. It is still nowhere near meeting the huge need for humanitarian aid in gaza. The amount getting in by road is far less than it was when the war began and we are focusing today on New Routes Spicy too to try and braid in. This is something the european new routes to bring in aid by c. Similarly, the us is building a Temporary Port Of Gaza so ships can be unloaded but still no detail of how those supplies when they actually get to gaza will be secured and distributed throughout the strip. Even as people look at aid distribution, there are still various questions that must be asked about how the aid will get to those, even months after the war started, find themselves in desperate need. Theres little hope to be found amid the rubble in gaza. Another night of israeli strikes has taken its toll. Images like this travel Around The World. Across the atlantic, israels main allies sees them too. The us President Joe Biden said he still supported israels right to defend itself but he cautioned the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the extent of the Military Operations he was sanctioning. He must, he must, he must pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost as a consequence of the actions taken. Hes hurting, in my view, hes hurting israel more than helping israel by making the rest of the world its contrary to what israel stands for and i think its a big mistake. Just two weeks ago, mr biden was optimistic a Ceasefire Deal could be in place by ramadan. But now, with just hours to go, theres no sign of an imminent breakthrough. That means other options to get aid into gaza at scale are still being sought, as the fighting continues. Military airdrops above the strip deliver some food, but not enough. But that still wont meet the growing and desperate need. This mother cant find anything in gaza to help her child. Translation i feed my daughter with waterjust so she doesnt die. I water is not recommended and its even forbidden for a baby of her age. In cyprus, an aid ship is ready to set sail, loaded with supplies. The charity behind it say theyre confident they will be able to unload them when they arrive off gazas beaches. In the longer term, a us ship that will build a temporary pier to do the job has set sail. But the projects completion date is still two months away. And while its constructed, the pressure on israel to get more help to suffering civilians will continue. Anna foster, bbc news, jerusalem. There are still channels of Communication Open between israel and hamas via their qataris and the egyptians but no sign of an imminent Ceasefire Deal to get humanitarian aid in so the focus remains on the airdrops by land and on these new Sea Corridors that could work from cyprus to gaza. Our middle east correspondent Quentin Sommerville is there. Local media reporting it will leave some point this afternoon. They are waiting for final Security Clearances from israel, which provides all of the aid that makes its way into gaza. There is about 150200 its way into gaza. There is about 150 200 tonnes of aid on board, from everything from flower to rice and preprepared meals and water. It is quite a long journey, 210 nautical miles. Usually thatjourney quite a long journey, 210 nautical miles. Usually that journey from Larnaca To Gaza would take 15 hours, but because of that heavy barrage, it might take longer. The organisations involved have said that the most difficult part of the journey will be the last mile. You touched on that in your report, because landing in gaza will be very difficult, it does not have a functional port and in parts of gaza, law and order, Civil Society has broken down since israels bombardment and ground invasion, and the need from the people in gaza is absolutely desperate. There is always the danger that when this ship appears on the horizon and gets closer to shore, people will start making their way towards it. We have seen pictures from world central kitchen, one of the charities involved, which shows temporary pm being built inside gaza, there is heavy lifting equipment, large boulders and rocks are being moved towards the foreshore to make way for the preparation for when this ship finally get under way and start this journey. That was quentin somerville, watching the aid ship that is the first to use this sea corridor. There were hopes that a humanitarian ceasefire may be achieved via ramadan. Ramadan is very close now and there is no sign of that happening, but here injerusalem, particularly where i am in the east, there is a focus on the holy sites in the old city because during ramadan, muslims Around The World will fast during their holy month and here in eastjerusalem, they will visit the mosque to pray. It is the third most holy site in islam and shares complex with the holiest site injudaism. During this time, there have been a violent past clashes, and the government is looking at managing that during this time of heightened tensions while the war continues in gaza. We have had a briefing from the israeli Prime Ministers office about heightened security and how they intend to keep things as peaceful as possible. The entrance of worshippers to the temple mount will be permitted in similar numbers to previous years. I want to say this lad and clear. There is no threat to the holy sites during ramadan. This month and every month we will allow safe and proper access. We want to safeguard the Public Injerusalem and other places in the public, muslim, jewish and christian. Are key statements there from the israeli Prime Ministers office and it is worth saying that even though there were hopes the Ceasefire Deal could be struck by the beginning of ramadan, we know the channels are still open, it is believed talks brokered by their qataris and egyptians have broken down and that date set out will be missed, but they are still hopeful they can agree to some kind of menace aryan Ceasefire Deal humanitarian Ceasefire Deal humanitarian Ceasefire Deal humanitarian Ceasefire Deal sooner rather than later. In the netherlands, hundreds of protesters have been demonstrating against israels actions in gaza, as the israeli president attended the inauguration of a museum commemorating the holocaust. Some of those protesting about Isaac Herzogs visit were themselves jewish. They chanted � never again is now , accusing him of complicity in a genocide, an allegation he and the Israeli Government strongly reject. Lets go live to our europe Regional Editor, danny aeberhard, who is in the newsroom. What was president herzog doing there . He was opening the Dutch National holocaust museum, the first and only in the netherlands to concentrate exclusively on the fate of dutch jews. It also looks at other victims of the holocaust, but the vast majority of those who died were jewish. 102,000 dutchjews were killed during the Second World War, about three quarters of the population. It was a very well integrated population at the time and it is the worst percentage for any nazi occupied country in western europe. Some terrible tales of killings, also some tales of survival as well. It is about educating people never to forget. And never to repeat this. He spoke at the ceremony and never to repeat this. He spoke at the Ceremony Marking and never to repeat this. He spoke at the Ceremony Marking the and never to repeat this. He spoke i at the Ceremony Marking the opening of the museum, what did he say . He spoke precisely of the dangers of anti semitism and racism, as a reminder, but also said it was a warning about growing anti semitism Around The World. One of the things he highlighted was a call for the Immediate Release of the jewish hostages being held by hamas in gaza. He called for people to pray for that and spoke a little bit about the people who remain silent during the Second World War while jewish people were deported and praised people who, the relative minority, involved in rescuing jews during the holocaust. Into minority, involved in rescuing jews during the holocaust. During the holocaust. Into the o enin during the holocaust. Into the opening of during the holocaust. Into the opening of the during the holocaust. Into the opening of the museum during the holocaust. Into the opening of the museum we i during the holocaust. Into the i opening of the museum we have during the holocaust. Into the opening of the museum we have seen protests continuing. Yes. Opening of the museum we have seen protests continuing. Protests continuing. Yes, most were eaceful if protests continuing. Yes, most were peaceful if voluble, protests continuing. Yes, most were peaceful if voluble, but protests continuing. Yes, most were peaceful if voluble, but outside protests continuing. Yes, most were peaceful if voluble, but outside the l peaceful if voluble, but outside the museum, there were different groups, pro israel people waving israeli flags, you have pro palestinians and tensions have mounted. This is an extremely sensitive issue. The gaza conflict, protesters would like to see Isaac Hertzog arrested and tried at the International Criminal court at the International Criminal court at the hague for genocide another something the israeli state and the president himself utterly reject, any association with genocide. This is the underpinning of this. It is also a sensitive time not only with the opening of the museum but with the opening of the museum but with the start of ramadan coming up now, so tensions are running extremely high. So tensions are running extremely hiuh. , ~ so tensions are running extremely hiuh. , ~ , the princess of wales has thanked the public for their support, as she recovers from recent surgery. In a mothers day message, accompanied by a family photo taken at windsor, catherine said thank you for the kind wishes shes received since she underwent an abdominal operation two months ago. Our royal correspondent Daniela Relph reports. A family photo for mothers day, that is hoped it will calm some of the more extreme gossip about the princess recovery. An informal image with her three children in windsor. Her husband, the prince of wales, was behind the lens. With the photograph, a personal message. Signed off with a c for catherine. The last time we officially saw the princess of wales in public was on christmas day, as she met the crowds at sandringham. Thank you so much. Thats very sweet of you to come and say hello to us. Thank you. Have a very happy christmas. A few weeks later, she was in hospital having abdominal surgery. Her exact condition has never been made public and the team around her have fiercely protected her privacy. Prince william has continued with royal duties without his wife at his side. Flowers and messages wishing her well have become part of every engagement he now does. There is unlikely to be any more detail released about the princess recovery for now. There has also been a mothers day post on social media from Buckingham Palace a photo of the king and the late queen, along with a message to those missing their mothers today. Kensington palace will hope the photo of the princess addresses the public curiosity about her and quells Wilder Speculation. We still dont expect to see her back on royal duty until after after easter. And daniela joins me now from the newsroom. What does this tell us about how catherine is doing . We must take a look at the photo and she looks pretty well, surrounded by her children, or laughing. It is an informal portrait taken by her husband, and that is very much a sign ofjust how private the princesss recovery is being kept. The circle around her is being limited to close friend and family so no official photographer was brought in. This was taken by her husband and the message from Kensington Palace that they hope people will take from this is that kate is doing well, she is recovering in private and we probably will not see or hear much more from her during the next few weeks but they are hoping there is a sense of reassurance being provided by this photo. Sense of reassurance being provided by this mote sense of reassurance being provided by this phot0 by this photo. There has been a lot of social media by this photo. There has been a lot of social media speculation, by this photo. There has been a lot of social media speculation, even l of social media speculation, even more today since the photo was released. It more today since the photo was released. , , , released. It has been wild out there at times, particularly released. It has been wild out there at times, particularly during released. It has been wild out there at times, particularly during the at times, particularly during the last two weeks, when Prince William was unable to go to the thanksgiving service for his godfather, and he said that was because of a personal matter. That seems to have set the hairs running in terms of the social media conversations and theories about what was wrong with kate. This all goes this will go some way to deal with the public curiosity and quelling some of the Wilder Speculation but it also starts a whole new load of theories and that has happened today. Broadly, what of this photo will do is take a little bit off the heat out of the conversation in terms of what is wrong with the princess and her recovery. Wrong with the princess and her recove. , , , ~ , recovery. And we still do not know exactly when recovery. And we still do not know exactly when she recovery. And we still do not know exactly when she will recovery. And we still do not know exactly when she will seem recovery. And we still do not know exactly when she will seem public| exactly when she will seem public engagements over after easter. H0. Engagements over after easter. No, and this Photo Engagements over after easter. Iifr, and this photo will be a rare event in terms of getting any more information about how her recovery is going. The guidance from Kensington Palace today remains the same, but she is doing well and we will not see her doing public duties or royal engagements until after easter. , ~ , , now its time for a look at todays sport. Hello from the bbc sport centre. There are four matches in the Premier League today, three are under way already including the battle for a top fourfinish. Aston villa will stay fourth no mater how they do against 5th placed tottenham, 2 0 to spurs. Maddison and brennan johnson. Nottingham forest are three points above the relegation zone, they could do with a win at brighton and burnley will move off the foot of the table if they avoid defeat at west ham. And then there is the Stand Out Match at anfield. Kick off 90 minutes away bewteen liverpool and manchester city. A win for either will send them top if its a draw, then arsenal will still lead the Premier League, they went top after beating brentford yestersay. Its a tough one to call, will home advantage make the difference . The liverpool manager certainly thinks that it will help. Am i allowed to say that second to none, or is anybody offended by that . Its really good, huh . And energising. Massive. These are the games you want to play, these are the games you want to get to take in the stadium. These are the games you want to watch. This is a very special game. And, yes, anfield is, for us, a massive, massive factor. It would be a bit embarrassing if i would say today, please help us. People will. The shape they attack is easily a bit different than the previous seasons. The quality of some new players make the game a little bit different. The main patterns are the same, so we know it quite well, like i think they know us. But the reality is you have to adjust the forms, the quality of individual players they have. But at the same time, knowing that, you have to take a look at the games we played recently, the players they played recently. So you have to adjust something, you know, to be more comfortable with the players that we have. After three matches in this years six nations, wales are yet to win and welcome france to cardiff this afternoon live on bbc one. We desperately want to win and we feel well be ok. We want to try and put a complete performance together. There have been parts of our game that weve been really happy with and a number of things that we need to fix up as well. So, we know were on a journey, but were trying to fast track things as quickly as we possibly can. And a win on sunday will be a good Stepping Stone for that
