Pushing for a un backed police force. The Transitional Council announced by the Caribbean Community bloc will be in charge of nominating a new Prime Minister, but haitis gangs are demanding a seat at the table. Our Central America correspondent will grant is just outside of haiti and sent us this report. This is the Border Crossing between the Dominican Republic and haiti and we have already seen dominican authorities deporting patients back to the poorest country in the americas at a time it is facing an acute humanitarian crisis, since the 2010 earthquake. They are being deported into applicable vacuum. Prime minister ariel henry stood down citing the fact his situation was untenable due to the violence in the capital Port Au Prince. The caricom and the us Secretary Of State held an emergency meeting Injamaica Emergency Meeting in jamaica and Emergency Meeting Injamaica and made clear that they saw the roadmap towards the transmission of administration in haiti starting with his resignation. Transitional. What happens next . The truth of the matter is, unfortunately things can get much, much was in haiti. The gangs will be emboldened by the fact that have forced mr henry from power and they already control 80 of the capital Port Au Prince. The canyon led Security Force are beginning to heat difficulties as the kenyan authorities they you did not Deploy Police to the streets of Port Au Prince without sitting administration. Live now to vanda felbab brown, senior fellow at the brookings institute, where she is the director for the initiative on nonstate armed actors. Great to have you here. The plan from caricom is for a Transitional Council to take charge at least temporarily. To what extent do you think patient are on board with this plan . Haiti and the gangs. As of this morning, the idea was that the seven important sectors within haiti society, the religious sector, and community will name of representative. That has been in session since the morning. Important actors appeared to be waffling and blocking out. Some very powerful gangs, such as the one led byjimmy cherizier, known as barbecue, have announced this is not going to be satisfactory. A man currently live guy philipe, wants to be part of the council and has declared he wants to create two separate council. A great deal of uncertainty as to whether the council will be from, how fast it will be formed and to whom it would be acceptable. In the meantime, it seems like there is a power vacuum in the country. The Prime Minister having announced his resignation. How concerned are you that someone else might step in and try to fill it . Someone like a gang leader or someone like guy philipe who led a coup could fill in . The possibility led a coup could fill in . The possibility is led a coup could fill in . The possibility is that led a coup could fill in . Tue possibility is that there led a coup could fill in . Tte possibility is that there and frankly the possibility will remain even if the council is sworn. The reality is that Street Physical Control is held by the gangs, including those aligned with guy philipe so evenif aligned with guy philipe so even if the council is from, the national police, the very Small National army that exist, a very weakened, the capacity have significantly collapsed and currently they are capable of holding very small parts of Port Au Prince and that is not going to change even when the council is seated. What could change that is the idea that the international lateral support force, the mss, would have a chance to arrive. But there has been an announcement that employment has been posed until there is a Governing Authority in haiti. T5 until there is a Governing Authority in haiti.

The first ship with desperately needed Food Supplies for palestinians in gaza has finally set sail from cyprus. The Open Arms Left Larnaca on Tuesday Morning on a journey that could take as long as two days. The un warns that massive Aid Shortages have left gaza on the brink of famine. If the first delivery succeeds, other ships will follow, as part of a european and emirati maritime effort. Israel says it welcomes the creation of a maritime corridor and that it is facilitating the transfer of aid to gaza while its forces continue to fight hamas. Meanwhile, we have a Special Report from gaza, where medical staff have told the bbc they were detained, beaten and prevented from carrying out vital duties, after israeli troops Raided Thei Hospital last month. After israeli troops raided their hospital last month. The staff say some detainees were stripped, kept in Stress Positions for several hours, or had muzzled dogs set upon them. Israel said, it occupied the Nasser Hospital site, believing it was used by hamas, and that several freed israeli hostages have said that they were held there. Our correspondent, orla guerin has more on the Special Report and just a warning, you might find some parts of her reporting distressing. Not for the first time in this war, Israeli Soldiers have been filmed standing over stripped and kneeling detainees. But these are medical staff detained after the israeli army overran the Nasser Hospital, in khan younis. Most are still being held. For weeks, the medics had witnessed israels advance as it closed in around the hospital. The fighting in khan younis was fierce. Thousands of people who had sought refuge in the grounds, fled underfire. Even a hospital wasnt safe. One nurse was shot inside an Operating Theatre through a window. Another person shot at the main entrance. The hospital was under siege. Then, on february 15th, after giving warnings, israeli tanks rolled in. Inside, utter chaos. Patients rushed from collapsing wards. Israel says it found hamas weapons and medication, which it says supports accounts from israeli hostages that they were held here. In the idf� s own footage, you can see Hospital Patients detained outside in their beds and wheelchairs with their hands zip tied. And this was the treatment for medical staff. At least 49 of them forced to leave their posts and remove their surgical clothing. Israel says it was searching for concealed weapons, and that among the 200 arrested at nasser were terrorists posing as medics. Dr Amira Azoulay had remained at nasser throughout the siege. Before israels incursion, she risked her life to save others as people were shot inside the grounds. Later, she witnessed what happened to her fellow doctors at the bar. Translation it was tough | for us to see how the doctors, who had bravely stayed at the hospital, despite the dangers, were stripped and beaten. Their hands were tied behind them, and they were left in the sun for hours. Dr ahmed sabah is one of very few medics to have since been released. He shows the positions they were forced to adopt for hours and says they were also tortured. His hand was broken by an israeli soldier, he says, and muzzle dogs were set on him. Translation they forced us to kneel down, with our eyes blindfolded. There was a pit in the ground, and we thought they would execute us. And barrios there and bury us there. We said our prayers, but they were just intimidating us. The Hospital Manager who dealt with the israelis during the raid says with so many staff detained, patients died. Translation eight doctors and 15 nurses were left treating 250 patients. You can imagine the level of care we could give, with no water or electricity in the hospital at that point. During this time, 13 patients and injured people died. Israel says any abuse of detainees is against idf orders and is strictly prohibited. The bbc investigation into how israeli troops treated staff and patients at Nasser Hospital was raised today in the House Of Commons and the house of lords. The Foreign Secretary now calling for answers. These are very disturbing pictures and reports that have come out from this hospital, and we need to get to the bottom of what exactly happened. And we need answers from the israelis about that. And when we have those, then itll be easier to comment. In washington too, questions are being asked about the bbc investigation. Has the us raised it with israel . I have only seen the report. I dont know if we have raised it, but i would expect that we would, as its the type of cases that we often raise with them to seek more information and to make clear, as we always have, that any detainees should be treated in strict compliance with International Humanitarian law. The Israeli Army Says it operated within nasser in a precise and focused manner, and it provided equipment enabling the hospital to function and to treat patients. But with the war continuing, and more than a0 medics still detained or missing, the hospital has been closed for weeks. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets look now at one of the more unique stories in the uk now. Surfers, Paddle Boarders and other water lovers flocked to the river severn in the uk on tuesday. They were taking part in the severn bore, a natural phenomenon that causes a series of waves. Its the only expected five star bore of the year, meaning its the one biggest possible.

So it wont be as high, but it should still be unique. Youre live with bbc news. Here in washington, the us announced that its sending 300 million in Emergency Aid to ukraine. Its the fifth package the us has sent since 2021, and the first since december of last year. Additional funds for kyiv remain blocked by Republican Leaders in congress. President joe biden has said the latest aid package is still not enough, but it will likely include ammunition, rockets and anti aircraft missiles. Bidens National Security adviser, jake sullivan, explained its significance on tuesday. This ammunition will keep ukraines guns firing for a period but only a short period. It is nowhere near enough to meet ukraines Battlefield Needs and it will not prevent ukraine from running out of ammunition is in the weeks to come. It goes without saying, this package does not displace and should not delay the critical need to pass the bipartisan national bill. And with that announcement from the white house, i spoke with inna sovsun, a member of the ukrainian parliament, who talked to me about the impact, or lack thereof, she thinks the latest package will have. Thank you for taking the time to speak to us. Another 300 million in weapons and military equipment from the us. What is your reaction to this new aid package and what it would mean for ukraine and how long this will keep the guns firing, so to speak . To speak . Were relieved to hear this to speak . Were relieved to hear this information to speak . Were relieved to l hear this information because we urgently need help from the united states. We also understand that it is not something that will help us forward. It will help us slightly catch up with what the russians are gaining in terms of equipment, ammunition and so on and so forth. So unfortunately we have not been receiving all the aid we have been promised for the last couple of months. The delays in american aid has really had impact under the frontline of the situation over there. This aid would be a small relief. It will not last long but it is something, at least something, and we hope it will allow us to survive until the big package of aid will arrive from the congress.
