hello, i'm lucy hockings, welcome to bbc news now, 3 hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. we start today in the middle east, where israel's army says it has seized gaza's rafah crossing with egypt, after continuously bombarding eastern rafah overnight. these images have been issued by the israel defense forces and show tanks moving in on the area, a vital entry point for aid, a day after israel ordered civilians to evacuate the area. the idf says it has "operational control" of the gaza side of the rafah crossing. aid agencies say that could be disastrous for civilians caught up in the conflict. these pictures show lorries queuing up at the rafah crossing waiting to get into gaza. the un says any delay in getting fuel into the strip "puts their gaza operation in its grave." there was a brief glimmer

of hope yesterday. these were the scenes outside the al—aqsa hospital as palestinians celebrated news that hamas had accepted a ceasefire deal. but this was rejected by israel as "far from meeting" its "core demands". instead, the country's war cabinet voted to continue operations in rafah. talks are resuming in cairo and israel is sending a delegation to the talks. live injerusalem is our middle east bureau chief, jo floto. in cairo, bbc arabic reporter, abdelbassir hassan. let's speak to our middle east correspondent, jo floto. what we know is happening on the ground in the moment? we understand that the israeli _ ground in the moment? we understand that the israeli military _ ground in the moment? we understand that the israeli military are _ ground in the moment? we understand that the israeli military are still - that the israeli military are still in control of that area of rafah. they took tanks in to take control of the border crossing and areas around it, and we are told special forces are combing the area, looking

forces are combing the area, looking for idf core infrastructure. they told us they had killed around 20 hamas members overnight and this morning and discovered three tunnels. it is the tunnels i think thatis tunnels. it is the tunnels i think that is the key why the military want to get into this area of gaza. they have long suspected that this is the entry point for weaponry to supply hamas and other militant groups, and i think is this conflict inevitably comes closer to the end, they want us to ensure themselves that they had some control and could destroy some of that infrastructure. what is the terms of this current deal that israel objects to? deal that israel ob'ects to? there have been some — deal that israel objects to? there have been some copies _ deal that israel objects to? there have been some copies of- deal that israel objects to? there have been some copies of what i deal that israel objects to? there l have been some copies of what we think is the proposed deal circulating in arabic on social media. it is a very detailed 3—phase proposal that the exchange of prisoners in return for the exchange

of hostages, for the partial, gradual, phased and ultimately total withdrawal of israeli forces from the gaza strip. there are several things within that draft if it is accurate where israel would have a problem. partially, firstly, it is the withdrawal of the military in return for what exactly? and there is no mention of who runs gaza after this whole process. i think for israel, the difficulty of signing up to something that is albeit phased, gradual, but will end up with the same permanent ceasefire, in the words of this draft, is problematic because it cannot allow, in its mind, hamas to still be in charge at the end of it. we mind, hamas to still be in charge at the end of it— the end of it. we know that israel is sendin: the end of it. we know that israel is sending a _ the end of it. we know that israel is sending a delegation _ the end of it. we know that israel is sending a delegation to - the end of it. we know that israel is sending a delegation to cairo. l is sending a delegation to cairo. what are we expecting to happen in their capital today and what is hamas saying?—

been out on the streets in several cities across israel demanding that the israeli government should do a deal because their priority should be the release of whoever the hostages are who remain alive and the return of the bodies of those who are dead. within the coalition, betting —— benyamin netanyahu has two allies has said that any capitulation to hamas, anything short of defeat would be something they can't support. if they cannot support it, the deals collapses. 0f support it, the deals collapses. of course, he spoke to the american presidentjoe biden yesterday afternoon, and joe biden is very keen indeed for hostages, some of whom have got us passports, to be released and for this conflict as a whole to wind up.— released and for this conflict as a whole to wind up. joining me now from rafah in southern gaza is sam rose, director of planning at unrwa —

other way around it unless additional fuel comes in. other way around it unless additionalfuel comes in. operations additional fuel comes in. operations will grind additionalfuel comes in. operations will grind to a halt in the coming days. i'm notjust talking here about commodities and trucks arriving. they are not coming in. fuel is the basis for everything inside gaza. there is no power plant or proper water services. the fuel powers the water lines and enables our health centres to keep running, the hospitals to provide life—saving care to keep running. if that fuel runs out everything grinds to a halt. ~ .,, runs out everything grinds to a halt. ~ , .,, ., runs out everything grinds to a halt. , ., , ., ., halt. most people have been told to evacuate on — halt. most people have been told to evacuate on some _ halt. most people have been told to evacuate on some of— halt. most people have been told to evacuate on some of whom - halt. most people have been told to evacuate on some of whom are - halt. most people have been told to evacuate on some of whom are on l halt. most people have been told to l evacuate on some of whom are on the move now. what is their situation like and where are they going? their situation is absolutely _ like and where are they going? tue: " situation is absolutely terrible. there is 100,000 people inside that area. half of those people are our children, but the population of temp rafah, most of them have been evacuated and displaced many times

already during this conflict. there is no essay for them to go to. the soap called safety zones cannot fit any more people. the other part of the safe zone is on a sand dune which can't accommodate people for any length of time. the other site has been subject to savage savage bombardment over the past few weeks. so there is nowhere for these people to go and there is no way that we as a humanitarian community can really support them when they are there for any duration of time unless these borders are open for commodities and forfuel. borders are open for commodities and for fuel. . ~ borders are open for commodities and for fuel. ., ,, , ., , . borders are open for commodities and for fuel. . ~ ,. , . ., for fuel. thank you very much for “oininu for fuel. thank you very much for joining us- _ for fuel. thank you very much for joining us- a _ for fuel. thank you very much for joining us. a difficult _ for fuel. thank you very much for joining us. a difficult couple - for fuel. thank you very much for joining us. a difficult couple of. joining us. a difficult couple of days ahead as it has been already. thank you very much forjoining us. lots going on on the ground, also diplomatically with those talks starting in cairo. you can follow all the latest. you can follow all the latest on what's happening in gaza, the situation on the ground and the response in israel on

the bbc news app and website, we've got a live page there with all the developments as they happen. president vladimir putin has been sworn in for a new six—year term at a ceremony at the kremlin. putin, who's been in power as president or prime minister since 1999, now begins his new mandate more than two years after he sent tens of thousands of troops into ukraine. in march, vladimir putin won a landslide victory in a tightly controlled election from which two anti—war candidates were barred on technical grounds. britain, canada and most european union nations decided to boycott the swearing—in, but france said it would send its ambassador. coming up a little later in the programme... and we'll hearfrom champion runner, eliud kipchoge.

he's told the bbc he feared for the lives of his family, after a campaign of online abuse wrongly linked him to the death of a fellow kenyan marathon runner. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

the chinese president is continuing his visit to france today. xi jinping has flown to the pyrenees mountains, meeting with emmanuel macron — where they'l go on to have lunch in the mountains, where mr macron's grandmother was born. it's expected he'll continue to press xi jinping to end the sale of dual—use goods to russia and to accept fair trade arrangements. mr xi will then travel on to serbia, where china has invested billions of dollars in steel and mining companies. we will keep across that for you, particularly after they have had

lunch in the pyrenees. let's get some of the date of the news now. an australian woman has formally pleaded not guilty to the murder of three relatives who allegedly died over mushroom poisoning at a family lunch last year. erin patterson is facing three murder charges and five counts of attempted murder. police allege she tried to kill her ex—husband on three other occasions. ms patterson has always maintained her innocence. australia's prime minister anthony albanese has accused china of "unacceptable" conduct following reports that a chinese fighter jet fired flares into the flight path of an australian navy helicopter on saturday. the helicopter was flying across the yellow sea as part of un efforts to enforce sanctions on north korea. mr albanese said canberra had made clear to beijing its displeasure over the incident — but had yet to receive a response. scientists have found that people

who have other specific genetic strain are likely to get alzheimer's disease. let's turn to kenya, where two—time olympic champion eliud kipchoge says he feared for the lives of his family during a campaign of online abuse. the athlete says that he was wrongly linked to the death of fellow kenyan marathon runner kelvin kiptum in february. he has been calling for social media companies to do more to clamp down on abuse on their platforms. here's mr kipchoge speaking to the bbc about his experience. all people online, all the social media platforms are saying that eliud is involved in the death of this boy. so that was my worst news ever in my life. i received a lot of bad things that they will burn...

they will come, they will burn my investments in town, they will burn my house. for more on this, let's speak to our bbc sport africa reporter, celestine karoney who interviewed mr kipchoge. shejoins us now from nairobi. it was such a candid interview that he gave you when you visited him at his training camp near nairobi. tell us more about what he's been through. he us more about what he's been throu~h. . , , us more about what he's been throu~h. ., , ., us more about what he's been throu. h. .,, , ., ., through. he has been through quite a lot. it was through. he has been through quite a lot- it was very _ through. he has been through quite a lot. it was very interesting _ through. he has been through quite a lot. it was very interesting to - lot. it was very interesting to see him very vulnerable. this is a man that we know from the slug and no human is limited. he has this superhuman aura about him, but he was very vulnerable, and it was such a heart—to—heart conversation. he spoke about the impact it has had on his family. he spoke to us about his children usually bike to school, but because of the abuse he was

receiving online, he was very fearful that they might be harmed on the way to school, so he had to change that to take measures to drop them and pick them up from school. he also talked about his mother. he called his mother, and he was shocked that his mother told him that she knew about what he has been going through. he broke down at that moment really and was very emotional about that. he is from a very remote area and didn't realise the reach of social media. so he was very fearful notjust social media. so he was very fearful not just for social media. so he was very fearful notjust for his life but for the life of his family as well and talked about how he lost 90% of his friends because some of those close to him were propagating the lives that were being distributed online, that were being distributed online, that he was involved in the death of kelvin kiptum, the man who broke his world record. so it was such a difficult few months for him. how

did it affect his performance? it really did have an impact on his performance. a few weeks later, on the 3rd of march, he took part in a marathon, and this is what he was seeing as his build—up to the olympic games, but he came tenth in that race. that's significant because it tenth is the worst performance but eliud kipchoge has had in a marathon. he told us that in the days leading up to the marathon, he could not sleep because of everything that was going on. he still had blocked social media so he could not see the messages, but it was still weighing on his mind, so mentally he was not in that place where he could compete and it had a huge impact on his face in tokyo. and what is he now calling for? what does he want to happen? he’s and what is he now calling for? what does he want to happen? he's talking about how online _ does he want to happen? he's talking about how online companies - does he want to happen? he's talking about how online companies do - does he want to happen? he's talking about how online companies do not i does he want to happen? he's talking | about how online companies do not do enoughin about how online companies do not do enough in protecting people who are

they are accepting a ceasefire deal from israel, but israel say they are rejecting that. a few moments ago, they are hugely concerned that the rafah crossing is closed and they can't get fuel aid into gaza. at the moment, that means nothing is operational there. moment, that means nothing is operationalthere. due moment, that means nothing is operational there. due to stay with us on bbc news. hello. at long last, a little bit of welcome news in the forecast for the rest of this week, after what has been a particularly wet spell for some southern and eastern areas. at the isle of portland in dorset, we've already exceeded our main rainfall in the first seven days. contrast that with kinloss on the moray coast where, we've not seen a drop of rain recorded yet. we'll switch things round a little bit through this week and when we need a bit of rain, the north and west of scotland, the will be some at times. still some dry weather here and warm with the sunshine out later. but where we've seen the wettest conditions, a largely dry picture, only isolated showers and feeling warm as the sunshine develops more widely. and even today, an improving picture. the weather front which brought

the rain in the southeast has cleared through. 0ne weather front, though, still tangled in across parts of scotland, producing lots of cloud and a few spots of light rain or drizzle. a few light showers possible across western england and wales, but nowhere near as many or as widespread as yesterday, or indeed as heavy. and it does mean that more of you will spend the bulk of the day dry, if not the complete day dry. and temperatures responding — into the high teens, if not low 20s. always cooler where that thicker cloud is in parts of scotland. that'll be there tonight. fairly cloudy in northern ireland too, for a while. a few mist and fog patches possible, but low cloud and sea fog will lap into eastern parts of england, and around western coast of wales, north coast of devon and cornwall too, to make for a murky start tomorrow. but temperatures fairly similar to this morning. now, as we go into wednesday, the middle part of the week, that high pressure, which is going to bring the dry conditions, becomes more established to the south and east. weatherfronts, though, scooting around thatjust to the north and west, which is going to bring some rain later on across the western isles, northern and western scotland and, into the evening, maybe across some parts of northern ireland. only the odd isolated shower across some western areas. most places though, having

a dry day on wednesday, and with a little bit more sunshine around after that murky start, temperatures will be more widely high teens and low 20s. as you go through into thursday, overnight patchy rain or drizzle in northern ireland clears. still a bit damp in the far north of scotland. many, though, will have a dry day. very few, if any, showers around at all for most of you. and a lot more sunshine, so we could see temperatures, by this stage, 22 or 23, and creeping into the low 20s in parts of scotland and northern ireland too. and they will climb further as we go through towards the end of the week and into the start of the weekend, with most dry until we see some showers develop on sunday. take care.
