From the Nigerian Government today. Half of the food aid meant for people whove been forced to leave home because of islamists in the north east has not reached them. Heres a statement from the acting president diversion of Relief Materials has dogged food delivery, he then references the reported diversion of over 50 trucks in every 100 trucks sent. He also announced that hundreds of soldiers and police will guard the convoys in an effort to keep them safe. You want a measure of how pressing the situation is for some nigerians, the situation is for some nigerians, the un is estimating eight and a half Million People are in need of life saving aid. Close to 6 million require Emergency Health care and with reference to that Islamist Insurgency being driven by boko haram in the north east of nigeria, that has left over 2. 5 Million People away from their homes. We saw that statement from the acting president in nigeria, we got in touch with our correspondent there, martin patience and he recorded this for us. The suffering in North East Nigeria is enormous. More than 2 Million People have been displaced by the fighting, caused by the boko haram insurgency. And most of them are living in sprawling camps, and they are entirely dependent upon aid hand outs. Tens of thousands of children are currently at risk of dying of starvation. Thats how serious a crisis this is in that part of the country. And this acknowledgement from the Nigerian Government that aid is effectively being stolen, whilst shocking, is not a huge surprise. I have spoken to a humanitarian organisation up there as well as local officials, and they say this has been an ongoing problem. What the government says is that previously up to half the trucks delivering assistance or aid, those trucks would be diverted. Effectively, the aid would be stolen. In order to fix this problem, the government now says that those aid convoys will be accompanied by soldiers and police, to make sure that aid goes from the warehouses to those that need it the most. Now, even if all that aid does reach the camps, the most vulnerable some of the most vulnerable anywhere in the world that might not be enough. Thats because the un says that it needs more than 1 billion worth of assistance in order to help those suffering in North East Nigeria. As things stand, at the moment, they say they have only received a quarter of the money that they actually need.

The death toll in the london Tower Block Fire has reached 79 police say thats the number of people who either died or are missing presumed dead.

Today a minutes silence was held across the uk to commemorate the victims. These are firefighters in london. And this was birmingham. Frankie mccamley has this report from the streets just by the tower. This is where people have come to bring flowers, Leave Messages and show their support.

Lots of people coming, this church behind me has seen three tonnes of food that has been dispatched to people who really need it. There was had lots of clothes, new clothes, that they have 70 families who have been affected by this. But here on the ground, you really do get this real sense of anger, people here say they feel forgotten, forgotten by the government, and they want answers. They want answers as to why this happened, and how so many people could die. And who if anyone is to blame for this awful fire.

Unfortunately his family has released a statement in which they have said he has died, you may remember this story from last week because the north koreans had detained Otto Warmbier since march last year. He was found guilty of trying to steal a Propaganda Sign and was given a sentence of 15 years in prison. Last week he was flown home via japan via the us.

His family have put up this statement saying it is our sad duty to report our sun has completed his journey home. They talk about a warm, engaging, brilliant young man.

Along with play away, bric a brac, he was part of childrens tv for more than 20 years. He also wrote and appeared on stage, but more than anything he was for many a much loved part of childhood. This is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. Our lead story following an attack on a mosque in north london last night the bbc understands that this man, Darren Osborne is responsible. He was arrested at the scene for terror offences. The United Nations has called on thailand to amend the harsh law against insulting the monarchy. The uns High Commissionerfor Human Rights said that since the Military Coup in 2014 the number of people investigated for violating the Lese Majeste Law has risen to more than double the number investigated in the previous 12 years. Trials are routinely held in closed session, often in Military Courts where defendants rights are limited. Earlier this month a man was given a 35 year sentence for facebook posts judged to have defamed the monarchy, the harshest penalty to date. Our South East Asia correspondent, jonathan head, looks at the case of a woman who was given a similarly harsh sentence two years ago, in the city of chiang mai. Once a week, sasiwimon takes a day off work and it is the granddaughter is ready to meet their grandmother. Her daughter is in prison, her crime posts on facebook that insulted tide ands monarchy. Translation it is difficult. I have to ta ke translation it is difficult. I have to take care of them alone. They are girls, i have two ensure that they are safe. Even if they are home. And iam out are safe. Even if they are home. And i am out working. The womens prison isa i am out working. The womens prison is a short drive away. Two years ago, sasiwimon was given a sentence of 28 years. Few of the other families waiting to meet inmates are dealing with sentences like that. Translation i never thought this would happen. Ithought translation i never thought this would happen. I thought it would be a one year prison term. May be suspended. We did not sell drugs, we did not kill anyone. Suspended. We did not sell drugs, we did not killanyone. Or suspended. We did not sell drugs, we did not kill anyone. Or steal anything. So when she was summoned by the police, i thought it was just for questioning. I did not think it would turn out like this. Sasiwimon has told me it all started because of her anger over her husband, who had gone off with another woman. She says a friend suggested a way of getting back at her, by setting up a facebook account in her name and posting controversial comments. But she did it using sasiwimons computer. Which was later traced by the police. Even by the harsh standards of thailands majesty law, the sentence passed on this woman was exceptionally severe. Especially when you consider she has no history of political involvement, says she is loyal to the monarchy, and that she was coerced into confessing and pleading guilty. She would not even be in prison if she had not been informed on by ordinary thai citizens who believe its their duty to defend the monarchy. This man is a passionate royalist. Memories of the late king who died last year still affect him deeply. He runsa last year still affect him deeply. He runs a group of volunteers in shanghai, who monitor facebook for anti monarchy content. It was he who informed the police about sasiwimons posts, but he did not realise at the time who was behind them. Translation realise at the time who was behind them. Translationzlj realise at the time who was behind them. Translation i dont regret it. No one does. There is an issue affecting the highest and most respected institution in the country. I dont understand, we are the only country in the world which still has these feelings. And treats kings like gods. Like demigods. Our late king was more than a god. He was a living god. Thats how thai feel about him. At sasiwimons home, they still keep the tattered calendar on the wall, fixed on the month when she was convicted. Translation the kids were distressed at first. They found it ha rd to distressed at first. They found it hard to accept. The older ones seem to understand. She knew that her mamma had been given a 28 Year Imprisonment sentence. But she could not imagine how many days or months, 28 years were going to be. The little one when she heard 28 years, thought her mum was going to come home on the 28th of the month. Long sentence has now been reduced ina long sentence has now been reduced in a royal pardon to 12 years. But that still means tha
