Would create space for more humanitarian assistance to relieve the suffering of many people and to build something more enduring and we have been working with egypt, with israel to put a strong proposal on the table and hamas responded to that and negotiators continue to work in the gaps are narrowing and we are continuing to push for an agreement in doha. There is still difficult work to get there but i continue to believe it is possible. Heres the take of our correspondent in jerusalem mark lowen diplomacy very much in motioned talking about how they believe an agreement is possible to end this war and even if it will be difficult in his words and talk about progress in his words and talk about progress in talking with regional actors about and what could run gaza and reconstructing gaza after the guns fall silent and sending a delegation back to delhi on friday led by the head of the Israeli Intelligence agency will be holding talks the cia and mediators from qatar in egypt suggesting theres possibly some progress on the Cease Fire Proposals evenif progress on the Cease Fire Proposals even if they necessarily dont expect an imminent breakthrough. The essence of the us is circulating a draught of the Security Council calling for immediate humanitarian cease fire and linked to the release of the hostages by hamas and the fact that the us is blocked and v to three previous resolutions calling for is a station of hostility suggests the us is hardening its language and getting increasingly exasperated by israel and by the conduct of the war in gaza even if the resolution that the us circulated is still very much linked to the release of the hostages and demanding the hostages be released as part of that Cease Fire Deal in exasperation with israel i think would grove the Israeli Military does indeed invade rafah as they are determined to do so and entering in order to destroy hamas but that is in defiance of huge dire International Law over the one you have sheltered there in Antony Blinken as it once again the us believes it israeli incursion into rafah would be a grave mistake mistake meanwhile, on the ground, Israeli Forces say they ve killed 140 palestinian gunmen in a major operation in and around Al Shifa Hospital in gaza city. They say 50 gunmen people died in the past day the fourth day of fighting at the complex, which is crowded with patients and displaced people. The us has filed a Landmark Lawsuit against apple, accusing the tech giant of monopolising the Smartphone Market and crushing competition. In the lawsuit, the Justice Department alleges the company used its power to limit competitors as well as the options available to consumers. Apple denies the claims and has vowed to vigorously fight the lawsuit. The lawsuit was also brought by 17 us states. Heres attorney general Merrick Garland explaining why the action ws taken. Set out in our complaint, apple has maintained its power not because of its superiority but because of its unlawful exclusionary behaviour. Monopolies like apples threatened the free and fair markets upon which our economy is based. Innovation, hurting producers and workers and they increase costs for consumers. Lets speak to our Business Correspondent in new york Michelle Fleury good to see it, explain what this is all about. Its good to see it, explain what this is all about. � ,. , all about. Its Worth Remembering for many peeple all about. Its Worth Remembering for many people who all about. Its Worth Remembering for many people who like all about. Its Worth Remembering for many people who like apple. For many people who like apple products because they market themselves and brand themselves as simple to use. But it is that simplicity and Business Model that is being challenged by this lawsuit in the Business Model being that theyve had this kind of closed off ecosystem which means that its software isnt always open to rivals who would like access to it and the Department Ofjustice and accusing the company of doing this basically to control and maintain a monopoly of power in the Smartphone Market.

And i think that is going to be the first case are going to hearfrom going to be the first case are going to hear from that and will see how it goes. Still to come. Well hearfrom botswanas president who spoke to us exclusively about climate change, the economy and a uk Trophy Hunting bill thats stirring controversy. Old apologies and thousands of pounds in compensation as the state Pension Changes will have that after the break. Around the world and across the uk. This is The World Today on bbc news. Lets turn to the uk now where millions of women born in the 1950s and not properly informed about the rising pension age should be given compensation by the govenrment. Thats the result of a consultation which has been looking at the impact of bringing womens Retirement Age in line with mens. The Campaign Group women against State Pension inequality or waspi say many have suffered financially because of the changes. I got igota i got a letterfrom i got a letter from the i got a letterfrom the department of pensions in march 2012 telling me that i would receive my State Pension in the march 2020. Almost six years later than expected. Finding out something is changed, we have some idea of what youre looking for and they couldve given me 15, 16 years notice of a change to my State Pension age but they chose not to can i do not know why they made that choice. 0ne waspi woman dying every 30 minutes and thatis woman dying every 30 minutes and that is why we ask for fair and fast compensation. The government doesnt have to act on the findings and so far has not committed to paying compensation. Heres the reaction from the home secretary James Cleverley and the reaction from the Shadow Home SecretaryYvette Cooper that report has just come out and the government we presume will look at the findings and recommendations of that report and in a position where i can comment on the detail of it. ~ where i can comment on the detail of it. ~ ,. , where i can comment on the detail of it.

Heres the analysis from our Political Editor chris mason so widespread has the failure been the the plane so broad that accountability is almost impossible and trying to sort this out, its confronted by a big blunt truth and it will cost a vast amount. Back in 2019, labour offered compensation and they said if they won the general election, that is what they would do and they were crushed in the general election and they are now much more cautious and so too are the conservatives and here is the context, a catalogue of failures and the post office scandal, the Infected Blood Scandal and now, this will stop that is the context which means that campaigners have to show real stamina if, and means that campaigners have to show realstamina if, and it means that campaigners have to show real stamina if, and it is a means that campaigners have to show realstamina if, and it is a big if, they are ever to be compensated. Joining me now is margaret ritchie, Baroness Of Downpatrick and val emmett, retired nhs worker of a0 yea rs good evening. I am delighted with the recommendation of the report and the recommendation of the report and the contents of the report of the Health Service ombudsman but we must remember that this is the first stage on a road to recovery for the waspi women. I have supported them for many years whenever i was a member of the House Of Commons and house of lords, i believe they were dealt a severe injustice with the failure to communicate details concerning pension in and the legislation back in 1995 and the exhilarated age group in 2011 and obviously, i welcome it and i have tabled parliamentary questions today asking the government when theyre going to provide this compensation and when they are going to give an apology and i would imagine it would require some form of legislation to amend the 1995 in 2011 legislation. What if that doesnt happen . At amend the 1995 in 2011 legislation. What if that doesnt happen . At this sta. E, what if that doesnt happen . At this staae, ou what if that doesnt happen . At this stage. You are what if that doesnt happen . At this stage. You are in what if that doesnt happen . At this stage, you are in a what if that doesnt happen .

At this stage, you are in a battle with stage, you are in a battle with government and you take one day at a time and you have a very forceful campaignfirm time and you have a very forceful Campaign Firm though waspi women and i want them to reinvigorate that campaign and i want out there and i want them in parliament and i want them in the assemblies around the uk, urging parliamentarians to support their campaign, to show that they were dealt with this injustice and i do not deny that there is also some postmasters and infected people campaigns that i have also been involved in have been dealt severe injustice and they require compensation as well. What do you make of these compensation as well. What do you make of these Compensations Compensation as well. What do you make of these compensations between just under £3000 . It is make of these compensations between just under £3000 . Just under £3000 . It is a very small amount, just under £3000 . It is a very small amount. Perhaps just under £3000 . It is a very small amount, perhaps poetry just under £3000 . It is a very small amount, perhaps poetry whenever l amount, perhaps poetry whenever you think of the amount of money many of these women are owed and because some of them had to wait some six, seven, eight years before they actually received their State Pension, they lost earnings because they had, some of them had caring responsibilities and four grandchildren, for parents, also for other siblings and also may be their partner. All of whom have become unwell or were disabled and required their care at home. So, they forgo or they did without the necessary money and are hoping to get their pension. But they have to wait so many years. It is paltry but it is welcomed but i do think there needs to be an increased amount and that is where the issue comes in the place of the government identifying the amount of money that they can provide and making a decision they are going to do it and identifying the money theyre going to provide and make sure that it is absolutely meaningful and represents the lives of these women and their contributions to society. Thank you for bein contributions to society. Thank you for being with contributions to society. Thank you for being with us.

Does struggle to find food is nothing new but the difference now is the scale of the emergency food insecurity, people are in danger of falling into malnutrition and do not know when or where their next meal is coming from. Gangs still control more than 80 per cent of the capital Port Au Prince and the country lacks a functioning government. The fighting has already claimed many thousands of victims.
