In finding common ground. In the last few hours, its also been announced that americas top diplomat Anthony Blinken will visit saudi arabia this week. Meanwhile, hamas has posted a new video which shows two of the hostages captured during its october attack. Keith siegel and omri miran, both identify themselves. While the video is not dated, there is a reference to the recent passover holiday. Its the second such video that hamas considered a terror group by the uk and Us Governments has published in the past few days. We can cross live now to tel aviv and speak to our correspondent anna foster. Anna, welcome to you, i know you are at the sight of where the latest Hostage Video has been held, lets start with that in those dead elements in the past few hours. It seems it does possibly appear to be some movement with the release of his latest Hostage Video and the new wording coming from the Israeli Government . Wording coming from the Israeli Government .

Omri mirans father was actually already on the list of actually already on the list of confirmed speakers for this event tonight. When he got up on the stage, he talked about the moment, he said it was sitting having coffee with someone and talking about his grandchildren when the man he was talking to held his phone i said look, they have released a video of him. The cloud were gathered here tonight and they showed that video in full, it is not something that normally happens because of course when you see the people in it, the two men in this case, looking very malnourished and speaking under duress, sending messages to their families and urging the Israeli Government to come to some sort of arrangement, some sort of deal to try and achieve their release. Now, of course that deal in those talks have been going on for weeks and weeks, the last time we saw a significant hostage release was at the end of last year. At one point, we were told the talks had very much broken down, the two sides went in communication at all but the egyptian delegation, visit this week and the further efforts of the us us Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken, we are led to believe that perhaps they are moving slightly closer in terms of trying to achieve a deal, but certainly those powerful messages we had tonight on the stage from the hostage families, they were talking directly to israels leaders, directly to the politicians and saying, we need you to do a deal. While we know they are alive, you need to do what they you can to ensure their release. You need to do what they you can to ensure their release. To ensure their release. Antony blinken, us to ensure their release. Antony blinken, us secretary to ensure their release. Antony blinken, us secretary of to ensure their release. Antony blinken, us Secretary Of State | blinken, us Secretary Of State heading back to the region, he has been there at least five times since the October The 7th attacks, what is the October The 7th attacks, what is the thinking he might be able to achieve with this latest visit because we know there is pressure for the us to put more pressure on qatar who have an influence over hamas, so what is it hope he can achieve . ~. ,. , achieve .

Well, the leadership of hamas, some of them that are not in gaza, they are based in qatar. In the last week or so, qatar said they didnt really want to continue in that important mediating role they have had, they said there was not necessarily a great deal of benefit to that and that looked like it was setting the talks further back. What we have at the moment are two distinct sets of demands, Hamas Lay Out what they want and the Israeli Government layout what they want and it is a question of trying to move those two sides as close together as possible. Hamas want things like, they are talking about an end to that war, they want a full withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza, they want people to be able to move back to the north of the strip. Israel is asking for the release of hostages, which hamas is, we are told, saying they cannot achieve, whether or not they have enough hostages alive to do that, whether or not they know whether hostages are, to be able to achieve that. So i think when you ask about Antony Blinken, i think what he is trying to do is do what he can to try and get those two sides to slightly refine, slightly change their demands so they can get position where both sides can feel they have got something from a deal. Crucially, they could be a ceasefire for a period of time in gaza, mocking anna mocking in a tearing aid could get in and those israeli hostages, more than 130 of them, they could be released. In gaza itself, the hamas run Health Agency says at least 50 people have been killed in israeli attacks in the past day. On saturday, people searched through the rubble of rafah, trying to recover what they could, after two houses were struck in the Southern Gaza city. The bbc has learned that british troops could be deployed to gaza to help deliver humanitarian aid. Soldiers may be used to drive lorries across floating causeways on a new sea route, dropping supplies onto beaches. Our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Landale reports from jerusalem. Some aid is getting into gaza by land. Trucks carrying food, water and medical supplies. Some aid is being dropped by air, but the United Nations says it is nowhere near enough to help the people of gaza who, it says, are facing famine. So there are plans for aid to come by sea. The us army is building floating platforms like this off the coast, where aid will be taken off ships and put into trucks. That floating causeway is expected to be anchored on the beach somewhere near here, where Israeli Forces will secure a distribution area. The us says there will be no american boots on the ground. So the uk is considering whether British Forces should drive the trucks along the causeway that may look Something Like this. But that would mean British Forces being put in harms way on the beaches of gaza, so called wet boots on the ground, potentially at risk from hamas fighters. Hamas at the end of the day could try and interrupt this. I would like to think they wont but i think probably they wont. But its possible that they could. Unfortunately in these sorts of operations, you end up in places you wouldnt want to have gone to. British forces could be deployed from this uk air base in cyprus, but, as of now, it is just an option. There has been no decision and it is yet to pass the Prime Ministers desk. The mod refused to comment. Sending british troops to the beaches of gaza would be a big decision. They would be at risk in a war zone, they would be operating in the holy land for the First Time Since the 1940s. But someone has to drive these trucks and theyve got to make a decision soon, the us says this new aid corridor is going to be up and running by early next month. James landale, bbc news, injerusalem. Here in the uk, a conservative mp has defected to the Opposition Labour Party in a blow to the leadership of Prime Minister rishi sunak. Dan poulter has been the mp for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich since the 2010 election. He combines his political career with Practising Medicine as an nhs Hospital Doctor on a part time basis. He confirmed he was defecting to labour in an interview with Laura Kuenssberg. Take a listen. I found it increasingly difficult to look my nhs colleagues in the eye, my patients in the eye, and my constituents in the eye with good conscience. And ifeel that the nhs deserves better than it has at the moment in terms of how it is run and governed. The party i was elected into valued Public Services. It valued. It had a compassionate view about supporting the more disadvantaged in society. I think the conservative party today is in very different place. Its focus is not on delivering or supporting high quality Public Services. Our Political Correspondent ben wright told me more about dr poulter. He has been an mp since 2010. He represents Central Suffolk and North Ipswich. Hejoined the party under david cameron. He is very much a cameroonian conservative. He is in the centre of the party,a one nation tory. He is a Working Doctor in the nhs, working in mental health, and he has continued to do that alongside his time in parliament. He was briefly a minister but has been a backbencher for the last few years. This has come out of the blue. There has been speculation for a long time that the despondency and anger simmering on the Tory Backbenches could burst into a defection at some point. Today we have it. I think it is a big blow for rishi sunak. We are going to have big local elections in a few days which the tory party is braced for being bad. The clock is ticking down quite fast to a general election. The Prime Minister doesnt have long to try to gee up his troops and prove he has a plan for pulling this back. Here you have a stinging intervention, actually. What he says about Public Services, where he thought the tory party used to be compassionate in his view they no longer are. He feels that the conservativism he joined the party to represent has been abandoned by the current Prime Minister and his team, and i think this is quite wounding. It is intended to be. Defections dont come out of the blue. I am sure this will have been orchestrated to an extent. There will have been talks going on for a while, perhaps, between dan poulter and keir starmer. It is certainly a coup for the labour party. It is a big blow for rishi sunak. Yes, tell us about. I dont think weve had reaction from the conservatives but what about the labour party . Keir starmer on social media said it was fantastic to welcome dr poulter to the changed labour party. It is time to end conservative chaos, turn the page and get britains future back. Pleased that dan poulter has decided to join us on this journey and dan poulter says he would like to see an election happen now. It is not about to, i dont think. The expectation still is that the general election will probably be towards the autumn. He intends to stay in parliament. There is no requirement to have a by election if there is a defection like this but he will now be sitting in labours ranks. And already the conservatives are facing mass numbers of their mps choosing not to stand at the next election for various reasons. Which again, is indicative of a political cycle. I think it is about 70 have decided they would rather do other things after the next election, whoever wins. I think defections like this often seem to symbolise a moment as well. They are quite rare. This is the third defection from the conservative party that we have had since 2019. Christian wakeford left the tories in 2022 when borisjohnson was still Prime Minister, during the partygate scandal. He switched to labour. Just last month, lee anderson, former deputy chair of the party, was suspended and then went to join reform uk. His journey is indicative of some of the anger and disillusionment there is on the right of the party. What dan poulter� s move suggests or represents is concern within the centre of the tory party about the direction it is heading in. How do you think the tories are going to be able to manage this . They will hope to move on very quickly and it is going to be difficult. But quickly, i think, our attention will be shifting to the local elections later next week and the results coming in friday and saturday. That i think will be a very big moment and there is speculation around that that could potentially uncork a wider rebellion among tory mps against rishi sunak. Im not quite sure myself but the numbers are there for that to happen. This is a political punctuation mark, this sort of defection, that often symbolises a moment. I think this is how it will be seen. And viewers in the uk can see the full interview with dan poulter on sunday with Laura Kuenssberg at nine oclock on Sunday Morning on bbc one. Ukraine says its Energy Infrastructure has been hit again, in another night of russian air attacks. Officials in kharkiv, the countrys second biggest city, said one missile had hit the grounds of a psychiatric hospital, damaging buildings and injuring a woman. There were also attacks in the dnipro region in central ukraine and in the Western Areas of lviv and ivano frankivsk. Officials say equipment was damaged and at least one Energy Worker injured. Russia has repeatedly targeted ukrainian Energy Infrastructure over recent months. Its attacks such as these that have led to the us providing more aid for ukraine. The United States outlined what will be included in a 6 billion package of military assistance. Its part of a larger 60 billion commitment which was approved by congress a week ago following six months of delays. The package will focus on air defence and includes interceptor missiles, anti drone systems and artillery ammunition. Whats not included are the new Patriot Air Defence batteries which ukraines president Volodymyr Zelensky says are critical. Lets speak to oleksandr krayev, who is an International Security expert at the Foreign PolicyGroup Ukrainian prism. Hejoins me from kyiv. Thank you he joins me from kyiv. Thank you for being with us.

The minimum amount of new systems that are needed to be added to the existing numbers are at least seven new systems. So, the package of the United States consisting of mostly ante Missile Defence is clearly a very big step forward, especially if we speak about protecting civilian and Critical Infrastructure but still it is notjust about the munition, it is also about the number of systems themselves which currently are not enough.
