What do we know . Welcome away caettin what do we know . Welcome away getting information what do we know . Welcome away getting information from what do we know . Welcome away getting information from various l getting information from various iranians sources and other News Agencies that provide pretty good understanding of what happens in iran but isnt necessarily full confirmation. So what weve heard is the president Ebrahim Raisi was travelling in a convoy and we here this from at least one iranian source of three helicopters over East Azerbaijan and that one helicopter had to make what was described as a rough, hard landing. That helicopter has emerged over the past half an hour or so and it seems almost certainly to have had president vasey on board, not only president vasey on board, not only president raisi but also the reigning Foreign Minister on board. This is an area where is mountainous, its wooded and we are hearing from these sources that there is a particularly bad Weather Conditions there but it is foggy and major Rescue Operation is under way as you could expect but at the moment there is no clarity about what happened to these two helicopters on this one iranian source expected to arrive safely at their destination so there is a visually huge speculation going on and as far as i can see at the moment, there is emerging official confirmation that president raisi was on board that helicopter but what has happened to that helicopter and what state it is then we dont know as yet. And what state it is then we dont know as yet and what state it is then we dont know as yet. And would it be usual for president know as yet. And would it be usual for president vasey know as yet. And would it be usual for president vasey to know as yet. And would it be usual for president vasey to be know as yet. And would it be usual for president vasey to be using for president vasey to be using helicopters to travel around . I mean, he is a president. He does travel widely. It is not something Thatis Travel widely. It is not something that is unusual for him to be making. There is no kind of issue of him being able to travel in any sense. If that was Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei it would be a different case but the president is very much the outward looking face of the reigning government so he is often travelling to difficult locations around the world, whether by helicopter or by plane. So that in itself is not unusual. That ouve in itself is not unusual. That youve much in itself is not unusual. That youve much and in itself is not unusual. That youve much and there in itself is not unusual. That youve much and there are i in itself is not unusual. That youve much and there are any developers will bring a breaking story on bbc news and you can get more on the bbc news website or app. Next. Its considered to be the worst treatment disaster in the history of the Health Service here in the uk. Tomorrow the final report into the Infected Blood Scandal will be published. It comes amid speculation that the government is setting aside £10 billion to compensate victims and theirfamilies. More than 30 thousand people were given infected Blood Products by the nhs decades ago. Around 3,000 died as a result mainly from hepatitis c and hiv. Today government minister grant shapps, speaking on the bbc� s Laura Kuenssberg programme, wouldnt confirm the size of the compensation fund, but called the situation � heartbreaking. Heres our Health Editor hugh pym. Leading politicians on the bbc this morning made clear that the Infected Blood Scandal and the Inquiry Report Out tomorrow were above party politics, with failings over decades by different governments. The idea it has taken all of this time to get the truth, i think it is heartbreaking. I havent seen the report yet, the government has already said it will want to respond quickly to it. It looks like the government is going to do the right thing, and they will have our whole hearted support in that, and we will make sure that victims have the certainty of knowing that if there is a change of government later this year, a Labour Government will honour that commitment. The chancellor, jeremy hunt, told The Sunday Times that families had every right to be incredibly angry that politicians hadnt acted fast enough. It is reported he is preparing a Compensation Package of around £10 billion. The Inquiry Report will examine why blood for transfusions and products for other conditions were given to patients even after warnings they were infected with hiv and hepatitis c. Home testing kits for hep c are available, but bbc News Analysis found that more than 1,700 patients have the virus because of treatment decades ago, and still dont know it. Demand for Hepatitis C Test Kits online in england has soared since our story ran. More than 12,800 kits were ordered between Thursday May 9th and friday may 17th. That compares with 2,300 for the whole of april. Helplines have also be very busy. I think the huge increase in call numbers that we have seen at the Hepatitis C Trust clearly demonstrates that a lot more people are for the first time are aware about infected blood within the nhs blood supply. Another key issue for the inquiry was the use of products for haemophiliacs contaminated with viruses, made from blood obtained from paid donors, including prisoners in the us. The inquiry chair, sir brian langstaff, has already said wrongs were done at individual and systematic levels. Hugh pym, bbc news. And a reminder we will have full coverage of the Infected Blood Scandal inquiry conclusion tomorrow here on the bbc news, you will be able follow it live on the bbc news website and app and also on bbc iplayer. A 14 year old boy has died and a 13 year old boy is in a Critical Condition after getting into difficulty in the river tyne in northumberland on saturday. The boys went into the water near to 0vingham bridge yesterday afternoon and multiple Emergency Service crews were deployed to the scene. Police have described the incident as absolutely tragic. The parents of both boys are being supported by specially trained officers. 0ur reporter andy gill in 0vingham gave us the latest. Well, the two boys went into the river at a spot a couple of hundred yards downstream from here. Theres a rope swing over the river and its popular with young people. When they got into difficulties, in major search and Rescue Operation was mounted involving the police, The Fire Brigade and the Air Ambulance was involved Mountain Rescue as well. A 13 year old boy was rescued alive from the river, taken to hospital, but hes in a Critical Condition. And the Air Ambulance was involved, Mountain Rescue as well. A 13 year old boy was rescued alive from the river, taken to hospital, but hes in a Critical Condition. However, a 14 year old boy was pulled out of the river and he was declared dead at the scene. This is a popular spot with young people. Theres a station nearby. Its very easy to get to from the major cities of newcastle. Two years ago, another 13 year old boy called Robert Hattersley also drowned on this stretch of the river tyne. Theres actually a photograph of him attached to a rock here by way of a memorial. Last year the Northumberland Fire And Rescue Service were critical of a group of local youths who apparently ignored warnings to come out of the river despite the dangers. Weve also been speaking to a local councillor here from Northumberland County council. She herself nearly drowned when she was a teenager in the river tyne, and since the death of the 13 year old two years ago, shes been trying to get education about the dangers of water improved in local Schools Education about the fact that there are currents, there are rocks underneath, that phenomenon called Cold Water Shock where your limbs can seize up if you go into cold water. She is also trying to get more physical safety along the river here. There are life belts up on the path above the river because it does tend to flood, but she wants some devices called throwbags, which is basically a load of rope in a bag and you throw it in and the person, you hope, gets hold of it. That was two years ago, that that drowning happened. Theyre still campaigning for water safety here in this latest incident. We havent yet got the names or the identities of the boy who died or the boy who was injured. As you say, their families are being supported by Specialist Police officers. Next, the latest on the israel gaza war. President Bidens National security adviser has been holding talks with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Their meeting is the latest Us Initiative to try and halt the fighting in gaza after the failure of negotiations involving israel and hamas. Earlier, Jake Sullivan held talks with saudi arabias crown prince in the saudi city of dhahran. In the latest violence, at least 28 palestinians are reported to have been killed most of them in a strike on a House In Nuseirat in the central gaza strip. There are signs of splits in israel, benny gantz, a member of the war they Military Operation around raffle will remain limited in order to limit the fact palestinian lives. And in the Military Operation has been intensifying over the past two weeks now and that has put nearly 800,000 palestinians back on the move in search of safety. Us has threatened israel but if it conducts an all out assault on rafah it will cease certain weapons sit down like shipments to israel. Jake sullivan will be seeking assurance on that, trying to make sure that more aid connected to the palestinians and bringing this question of what will happen and gaza in the fighting finally ends. Benjamin netanyahu has faced that question repeatedly and has been growing Questioning Division over what could happen and militarists strategy of what comes out for the people of gaza and Benjamin Netanyahu has so far failed to indicate that question so i think this is the United States and others upping the pressure now, laying that demand that has come also from politicians at the top of israeli politics and is quite widespread amongst these early population as well. What is this Military Campaign supposed to achieve . At hamas illicitly to be eradicated . Will hostages be brought home safely . For the people of gaza, how will they be governed, how will they be rebuilt, how will they be coordination to lay down some sort of structure for the Effusion Gaza . fin down some sort of structure for the Effusion Gaza .

On that, it is interesting that mr sullivan | Effusion Gaza . On that, it is interesting that mr sullivan comes to israel after a meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince and he and saudi could be quite key with the arab world . ~ , , ~ world . Absolutely, yes. Saudi arabia kee an world . Absolutely, yes. Saudi arabia keep an eye world . Absolutely, yes. Saudi arabia keep an eye for world . Absolutely, yes. Saudi arabia keep an eye for the world . Absolutely, yes. Saudi arabia keep an eye for the united world . Absolutely, yes. Saudi arabia keep an eye for the United States world . Absolutely, yes. Saudi arabia keep an eye for the United States in | keep an eye for the United States in wider Security Matters and that was first and foremost the intention of this visit and meeting in saudi arabia but we also understand that Jake Sullivan has been discussing the possibility of an arab coalition, of which the saudis would probably be the biggest and leading members. Some sort of Organisation Alliance of arab states with other International Organisations backed by the United States and European Countries which could leave that feature for gaza. Benjamin netanyahus not been drawn on that question. The only thing that he said as he rules out working at the Palestinian Authority which represents palestinians and governs the west bank. He believes they are in alignment with hamas, supporters of terrorists, and thats why he said they are not fit to govern gaza. Mr netanyahu will be drawn on who is what shake that should take but, in the meantime, it seems United States is taking the opportunity of talking to the saudis and to others about what could be put in place if and when fighting ends. � g. , ends. And johnson reporting there from jerusalem. To the Democratic Republic Of Congo next. The army there says its foiled an attempted coup in the capital kinshasa. Speaking on State Television, Brigadier General Sylvain Ekenge said the situation was now under control and the attackers were out of action.
