Lucy williamson sent this report from the soroka medical centre in southern israel. Surrounded again by sunlight, by the sound of hebrew. Farhan alkadi, a 52yearold bedouin israeli, snatching a second chance at life. Crouched on the floor of a military helicopter, after 326 days in captivity, a smile. The start of his journey back home. At israel's soroka hospital, his last few moments in hiding. A wall of israeli soldiers shielding him from the world he left ten months ago. From a tunnel in gaza to an israeli ambulance in a couple of hours. His family racing the last few metres to greet him. Thin and pale but staff said in a good and stable condition. Translation: it is difficult to explain how it feels. It is better than having a newborn. We thank god and we thank everyone and hope to see him healthy. We're very happy, very happy. Israel's prime minister called to welcome him home, keen to be part of his release. We cannot go into many details of this special operation but i can share that israeli commandos rescued qaid farhan alkadi from an underground tunnel following accurate intelligence. The army has described this as a complex operation based on precise intelligence but there are persistent reports here of a more nuanced story, even that farhan alkadi may have escaped his captors himself. Tonight, a senior military official confirmed that troops had found him in a tunnel, alone. Last week, israel brought back the bodies of six other hostages. The funeral of one, haim perry, was held in israel today. The joy of one family and the grief of another. A trickle of hostages returning as more than 100 others, and a ceasefire deal, remain stubbornly out of reach. Lucy williamson, bbc news, soroka hospital, southern israel. Farhan alkadi is the eighth hostage rescued by israeli forces since the start of the war in gaza. Israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he was working to secure the release of all the remaining hostages. But a group campaigning for those still held said that though this rescue had been miraculous, military operations alone could not free the remaining captives and that a ceasefire deal was needed. The united nations says gaza aid operations are suspended following israeli evacuation orders monday. Diseases have also spread in gaza as sewage contaminates camps and coast and there are also concerns of a polio outbreak after a 10 month old baby was partially paralysed after contracting the illness. Aid workers warn that with the humanitarian pause the rollout of vaccines could be hindered. I've been speaking with mara kronenfeld, the executive director unrwa usa. It would appear that hopes of a peace deal coming soon are crumbling somewhat. What does that mean a practical sense for the people in gaza? as you described, the situation is prophetic and right now our colleagues on the ground at unrwa have essentially been expelled from the area that humanitarian workers were in and the humanitarian infrastructure in the centre of gaza has been forced out along with some 250,000 people as israel has evacuated or expelled people from these areas. When humanitarian people are removed from the area, the services they provide are also removed. Hospitals have to bring down our health centres as well as food distribution sites, shelters and more and more we are seeing a population of around 1. 7 million, the vast majority of the population in gaza being pushed into an area which is about 11% of gaza, with population density of some 3040,000 per square kilometre. We are extremely worried about polio and the outbreak of other disease in what is a situation on imaginable, where sewerage is building up everywhere and you cannot even see any space on the ground, that is how dense the population is. You said your team have been expelled as part of that evacuation order and they ceased operations. Would they have been able to reactivate operations in other parts of gaza? there are absolutely operations in other parts of gaza but these 250,000 people were being served in the centre of gaza by staff from unrwa as well as other agencies and right now those activities have had to stop because the humanitarian agencies cannot simply rebuild the health centres and the distribution of food and medical supplies and rebuild shelters. This is a sandy area along the mediterranean sea, there is no infrastructure there and with no sanitation, with raw sewage, trash piling up and now with polio, we are extremely concerned for the population there and. . . And when you mentioned polio, just tojump in, we have seen the world health organization organising for the delivery of well over i million vaccines. What can you tell us about the progress of that programme? yes, so we understand there are over a million vaccines available, the problem is that vaccines have to be given twice. There are two dosages that need to be given and they need to be given in the midst of a relatively static population which means that there needs to be a ceasefire. There needs to be a disruption in the bombardment, populations need to be able to stay put so that 1000 aid workers can come to where they are and provide the vaccines. If there is no ceasefire than the chance of the vaccines getting to enough people to reach herd immunity is very unlikely. Polio doesn't know borders, it's up to everyone's interest to a ceasefire so the vaccines can get to the children who need them. How are you going to be able to deliver vaccines in that way in terms of keeping track of who has had a vaccine and has not had one? that's exactly the reason why the population needs to be static, so that these 1000 health workers can go and these are all workers from unrwa can go doortodoor, essentially tenttotent in one central area, khan younis, where those who are not in certain areas can go to the health centre. But there needs to be a stop in the bombardment, there needs to be no more forced expulsions and the population needs to be essentially reachable and accountable for this to work. Here in the us, thejustice department has filed new charges against donald trump over his attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 election. The former president has denied election interference allegations, though he's maintained without evidence that there was widespread voter fraud. The revised filing was made by special counseljack smith on tuesday and lays out the same four charges originally brought against him though this time they relate to his status as a political candidate. That's after a landmark supreme court ruling injuly granted donald trump substantial immunity from criminal prosecution. Our correspondent carl nasman has more on how the case has evolved. What we thinkjack smith is doing here is trying to revise this case. Make sure that it can be something that can hold up to that supreme court ruling that you mentioned. It's changed a bit. So if you want to see the physical results of this, this used to be a 45 page indictment. This is the new one. It's a bit thinner, only 36 pages. So what's missing? well, what's been taken out here are allegations about former president donald trump's official acts in office. Remember that supreme court ruling about a month ago or so said that presidents, including donald trump, enjoy this broad immunity for things that they do in office related to their official acts. So some things have been taken out here. Anything related to donald trump's conversations or actions with the us justice department. Those could be considered acts as a president. Those are now gone. And when you really read this indictment, it actually is interesting to see that some of this has been recast. The narrative is a bit different here. Jack smith now talking about the fact that donald trump used his private twitter account, for example, it talks about private acts. It talks about political acts, saying that he was discussing and meeting with his political running mates, of course, his vice president, mike pence at the time. So no longer about his official acts, talking about private acts, talking about political acts. And this is now going to be part of what moves forward. We'll see whether or not this is something that will wrap up or even begin before the november 5th elections likely won't get started by then. And of course, we all know if donald trump is reelected, it's very likely he could just take these charges and tell his justice department to wipe them aside and clear the deck altogether. Kamala harris and tim walz are expected to give to their firstjoint tv interview on thursday after weeks of demands by political opponents to hear from the pair. Republicans have repeatedly accused vice president harris of avoiding interviews since she replaced joe biden on the democratic ticket nearly five weeks ago. The two of them will speak to cnn's dana bash, while on a campaign stop in georgia. Two employees at delta airlines have been killed and another seriously injured following an accident at the airline's maintenance facility in atlanta. Local media are reporting that the pair were killed when a tyre on a plane exploded while it was being removed, although the airline has not official commented. The airline said it was cooperating with authorities who are conducting an investigation into what happened. And ukraine's president has said the incursion into russia's kursk region is part of a victory plan he intends to present to president biden next month. Speaking earlier volodymyr zelensky said his country's forces are reported to control at least 100 settlements in kursk. A region along the border with eastern ukraine. The us national security adviser is in china for talks with top diplomats in beijing as the two countries work to settle tensions. Jake sullivan is holding talks with china's foreign minister wang yi it's the fourth time in 16 months the pair have met. The last time was injanuary shortly after presidents joe biden and xijinping held their own summit to try and stabilise relations. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. To westminster now, where sir keir starmer given his first major speech since the general election, vowing to reverse what he's called a decade of decline under the previous tory government. The prime minister warned the chancellor's budget in october will be painful and asked britons to accept shortterm pain for the longterm good of the country. The conservatives have dismissed the pm's speech as an attempt to distract the public from promises they say the labour leader never intended to keep. I'll have to turn to the country and make big asks of you as well to accept shortterm pain for longterm good. The difficult tradeoff for the genuine solution. And i know that after all that you have been through, i know it's a really big ask and really difficult to hear. That is not the position we should be in. It's not the position i want to be in, but we have to end the politics of the easy answer that solves nothing. You're live with bbc news. It's been 500 days since sudan descended into civil war, but aid is still failing reaching those who need it. It's a situation the charity medecins sans frontieres describes as shameful. 10. 3 million people have been forced to flee their homes. More than 25 million face acute hunger. The war began in april 2023, when the rapid support forces a paramilitary group launched an attack against the sudanese army. Both sides have been accused of committing atrocities. For more on the conflict, and the prospects of peace, i spoke to tom perriello, the united states* special envoy for sudan. It is 500 days since fighting began in sudan, can you realistically see any and to it coming anytime soon? you have to believe that that end is possible because the scale of suffering just shocks the conciousness so much. 20 million people have been displaced from their homes or are facing acute hunger, over a million facing starvation. We made progress this week but the world has turned its back on this horrific scale of suffering and we have seen in the past few months more and more countries starting to step up and say we have to end the war, we have to end the famine and joe biden and antony blinken asked us to take that initiative over the past few weeks and we are seeing progress. Is there is sufficient international focus on this crisis, given the wide scale displacement of people and the widescale hunger? we are not even in the ballpark of enough international attention on a crisis affecting 20 million people, who have been displaced and are facing acute hunger. Many more millions have had to flee as refugees. We are seeing bombing and shelling on a daily basis, dams collapsing this week causing over 100 deaths. We need to see that international attention, we put together the initiative onjoe biden and antony blinken*s push to say we have to do more for the sudanese people and with the un, the african union and key regional allies we were able to get multiple humanitarian access routes open for the first time in months. Today we got the last of 3 million pounds of food across in the past week and that is scratching the surface of what is needed to address the level of hunger. We are trying to get a third access route open through the south. We need more aid coming from the international community, more pressure both on the humanitarian access and action of civilians that is necessary from both the army and the rapid support forces and that is what we have been pushing forward this diplomatic coalition. What about outside involvement at the security council meeting the government accused the uae are piling the rapid support forces. The group claims the uae would have to completely reject but what is the role for the us in limiting any outside involvement and pushing harder for that peace deal? unfortunately the most internation
