Lets start this hour with a report by our Deputy Editor from africa and soy. Cheptegeis family in mourning. This was their daughter on the international stage, carrying her countrys flag high across the world. But once back home, rebecca became the victim of Domestic Violence, its reported. Herfamily is demanding justice. Translation we urge the government to provide protection to her children and property at this time. The 33 year old athlete was rushed to the main hospital in Western Kenya after her former boyfriend allegedly poured petrol on her and set her on fire at her home during an altercation over a land dispute. Weve done all that we could for her. She had a severe percentage of burns, which unfortunately led to multi organ failure. In 2021, kenyan athlete Agnes Tirop was found dead in the same region with multiple Stab Wounds in the neck and abdomen. Her husband is facing murder charges, which he denies. A year later, Damaris Mutua was killed and her partner identified as a suspect. He is still at large.

What i can say is that we lost agnes as well and the Lady Share ideas and complain about the violence and some can come out freely and explain but most keep Hiding And Wont speak out. There is Domestic Violence among women in kenya and some of us came from other countries and train here. I hear cases of Domestic Violence among the ladies. Especially those ladies who ran and have made money, there are sometimes, the relationship was not about love, it was about money. After the love has dropped out,. There is that they are, it has been expressed today, people exploiting those athletes who have made money.

We were looking at this last week, where the Special Prosecutor put in a revised Indictment And Thatis put in a revised indictment and that is because of what we heard in thatjudgment at the supreme court, which detailed that many of the things that are done as president had immunity. As a result, their Special Prosecutor reside revise that indictment. That indictment. That is being discussed in the courts. Donald Trump Pleading not guilty to the revised 2020 election subversion indictment. Around the world and across the uk. Youre watching bbc news.

If one had applied for warrants for hamas and not against, looked at the evidence, if the evidence compelled action in israel when at that time 3040,000 compelled action in israel when at that time 30 40,000 people had been killed in gaza, to say this is a weak court that is influenced by power dynamics, if one had applied for warrants in relation to israeli officials are not for gaza, they would say, this is an obscenity, how on earth is that possible . I think we did what was right. We had evidence. We need to apply the law. You cant have one approach for countries where there is support, where there is nato support, where there is nato support, european support, powerful countries behind you, and a different approach where you have clearjurisdiction, because of a stormy result. Hamas says Israels Refusal to withdraw from a strategically important strip of land in Southern Gaza is thwarting any agreement to end the war. Israeli Prime Minister has insisted that israeli forces will not leave the philadelphia corridor, a Piece Land in Southern Gaza on the border with egypt. Israeli troops must remain in a Buffer Zone according to netanyahu to prevent hostages being smuggled across the border. Why is there across the border. Why is there a strip of land so contentious . Bbc verify has more. A strip of land so contentious . Bbc verify has more. Israel has been paving bbc verify has more. Israel has been paving a bbc verify has more. Israel has been paving a Road Bbc verify has more. Israel has been Paving A Road in bbc verify has more. Israel has been Paving A Road in Gaza Bbc verify has more. Israel has been Paving A Road in gaza in i been Paving A Road in gaza in an area where their continued presence is a major Sticking Point in Cfire Presence is a major Sticking Point in c Fire Negotiation. Construction is happening here, codenamed the philadelphia corridor. It is important because it is the only Land Border with egypt. The rest of garda boys borders israel. The corridor is about six kilometres long. We have been mapping the paving of a road along this corridor. Look at this from august the 24th, when we believe the recent paving began. Two days later, you can see this dark road slowly extending south along the corridor. On the 1st Of September you can clearly see how far the paving has advanced. This is what that looks like on the ground. We verified this video posted on x at The End of august that shows what looks like a newly paved road. You canjust about what looks like a newly paved road. You can just about make out a Border Fence at The End of this video, on the right here. Over the last few months, the Israeli Army have cleared large areas near the corridor, destroying hundreds of buildings like this one. From satellite imagery, their destruction is stark. This is from earlier this year and you can see the corridor here. This is from late last month. We asked the idf about the construction of the road and they did not respond to us. Netanyahu is has said control of the corridor is non negotiable. Hamas has rejected any israeli presence in gaza. The paving on this road is said to put pressure on cease Fire Negotiation and suggests that israel is not going to withdraw entirely from the Gaza Strip any time soon. Lets continue with this and speak to the international negating negotiator. Welcome to bbc news, what is your analysis of netanyahu doubling down on this strip of land . I of netanyahu doubling down on this strip of land . This strip of land . I think it is crystal this strip of land . I think it is Crystal Clear this strip of land . I think it is Crystal Clear that is Crystal Clear that netanyahu, is Crystal Clear that neta nyahu, the is Crystal Clear that netanyahu, the israeli Prime Minister, is doing all he can to ensure that a Ceasefire Deal is not going to happen, Prioritising The Corridor over the lives of hostages and many lives of palestinians in gaza, thatis lives of palestinians in gaza, that is not the right thing to do, but it is a political move and not a military necessity. You point the finger at netanyahu, you know what he says, and what The Americans says, and what The Americans say when they Talk About this and Talk About say when they Talk About this and Talk Abou say when they Talk About this and Talk About the say when they Talk About this i and Talk About the think and Talk About mass. The Think Tank in tel and Talk About mass. The Think Tank in Tel Aviv and Talk About mass. The Think Tank in Tel Aviv said and Talk About mass. The Think Tank in Tel Aviv said that and Talk About mass. The Think Tank in Tel Aviv said that more | tank in Tel Aviv said that more should be done and they were very clearly pointing the finger at netanyahu, saying finger at neta nyahu, saying that finger at netanyahu, saying that It Finger at neta nyahu, saying Thatitis Finger at netanyahu, saying that it is not essential for the Israeli Army to be on the corridor and that a deal must be prioritised. It is also possible that The Americans will bypass the israeli Hamas Channel and try to get out the american hostages, the ones that hold dual citizenship because they are seriously fed up because they are seriously fed up with Netanyahu Obstructing the deal. That doesnt mean that the leader of hamas hasnt been obstructing the deal, but focusing on netanyahu, i think The Americans are totally fed up The Americans are totally fed up and Joe Biden said so. The americans are totally fed up and Joe Biden said so. Going back to the up and Joe Biden said so. Going back to the corridor, up and Joe Biden said so. Going back to the corridor, there back to the corridor, there were leaks of that meeting of israels Prime Minister and the Defence Minister last week which apparently ended up in a shouting match. Do you think thatis shouting match. Do you think that is an an acknowledgement from those closely around netanyahu, those others, the Defence Minister, that doubling down on that would jeopardise Everything Else . Down on that would eopardise Everything Else . Everything else . Netanyahu is doinu Everything Else . Netanyahu is doing Everything Everything else .
