way to examine these underlying examinations of war crimes. in an unexpected reversal today the ministry of defence, as you said, confirmed for the first time that uk special forces were involved confirmed for the first time that uk specialforces were involved in these rates that are now being scrutinised. the ministry of defence is still asking for widespread reporting restrictions on the public inquiry. lawyers for the bereaved families and for the bbc and other media organisations are calling for as much of this key evidence to the inquiry as possible to be held in open court so the public have as much access to the information as possible. much access to the information as ossible. , ., ., ~ , ., the national health service is 75 years old, but there are warnings over its future. ever growing waiting lists are forcing a debate about funding and modernisation. so what could the nhs look like in the coming decades? our health editor, hugh pym is here. thanks, clive. yes, there were events around the uk marking the 75th anniversary, including a service
thousands of mourners, have taken part in a funeral procession in the occupied west bank, for some of the 12 palestinians who died during israel's two—day military operation. an israeli soldier was also killed. the troops have now moved out of the refugee camp injenin, leaving local people assessing the damage, following isreal�*s biggest offensive in the area for two decades. our international editor jeremy bowen is live in jenin for us tonight. jeremy. thank you, clive. yes, it was almost 24—hour is a goat that the israelis pulled out of the refugee camp, which is very close to where i am. and those palestinians who live there went back into try and see the state of their homes. when we went up state of their homes. when we went up there first thing this morning, the big item on the agenda was the funerals of people who we believe were mostly fighting men. and one
still use fax machines, but with artificial intelligence helping speed up diagnosis and new blood tests for cancer, health leaders say technology will help tackle the chalenges of the future. clive. hugh pym, our health editor. the journalist and broadcaster fiona phillips says she's been diagnosed with alzheimer's disease. the former host of gmtv, who's 62, says she'd been suffering for months with brain fog and anxiety before the diagnosis. there is a history of dementia in herfamily with her parents, grandparents and uncle all being affected. a woman working in the parliamentary office of an mp has described how she was asked to sit on his lap and felt she had no other choice but to do so. the mp has since been suspended, following separate allegations. ellie varley, who's 25, says she's very angry about what she calls a predatory culture in the house of commons and is one of six people who've spoken to the bbc about inappropriate behaviour at westminster. newsnight s uk editor,
marking king charles' coronation, let's go back to huw, who's in edinburgh. clive, thank you very much. it was a glorious day here in edinburgh, the sun really was shining on the processions, the colours of the military uniforms and banners were vibrant, the royal mile was a great sight. it started to rain here in the past p minutes, so things are changing. let's get an update on the weather across the uk and let's join sarah. a bit more clout sweeping across scotland over recent hours, but many of us have clear skies out there. this was the sunset as we ended the of us have clear skies out there. this was the sunset as we ended the day in wakefield. a few showers day in wakefield. a few showers overnight but tomorrow fewer showers overnight but tomorrow fewer showers than we have had today. still some than we have had today. still some sunshine on offer, especially sunshine on offer, especially towards the east, but there is rain towards the east, but there is rain in the forecast and that will be that will be
less christian and also one could surely say, more fragmented. we have seen a rise, especially in scotland, of nationalism over this period that has culminated with the snp in power in edinburgh and the devolved parliament. we have seen a rise very recently in republicanism, polls say support for republicanism has risen since the death of the queen. i wonder if both of these, though they may ebb and flow, come to dominate and be a more significant part of the reign of king charles in a way perhaps they were not during the reign of queen elizabeth.- reign of queen elizabeth. james cook, our scotland _ reign of queen elizabeth. james cook, our scotland editor. - so the formal events, which began last september with the death of her majesty the queen and the accession of king charles iii have been completed with today's service at the high kirk of edinburgh. we'll be back later in the programme, but first let's join clive in the studio. many thanks for that.
also ways here of replacing them. on the black market you can buy, apparently, american m4 or m—16 rifles for about £30,000. ironically many of those have been stolen from israeli army stores. so i think that while all this messaging is going on about claiming victory, the message that isn't happening or hasn't happened for many years now is between the two sides with the message, we better talk about this, guys, because actually if we don't it is going to get worse. and i think in the continued absence of that, because there is no peace processes and there are none of those contacts going on, i think the situation with everything else happening here remainsjust another couple of bad incidents away from the next serious crisis. back to you, clive.
