has waned. i don't think it has been helped by a lack of military progress on the battlefield but it has been a deadly cycle for ukraine where after the failed counteroffensive last year, president zelensky was denied a crucial bargaining chips when it comes to western allies to say, look what i can do with your age, keep it coming, which i think is what has led us to the six—month little delay. but it is quite the turnaround. you can hear many ukrainians criticise speaker mike johnson online and now over the last few days, when they are hearing what he has been saying that the need for ukraine to prevail and for vladimir putin to be defeated, he has gone from a sort of villain to hero in these parts. i think that is the sort of currency ukrainians are after now, military help, how much are you going to give it to help us continue this fight? so it is an undeniable significant changing of the tides politically. it is going

to be enough to change momentum in the same way in a battlefield sense? i don't think so in the near to medium term. it is simply, in the most simple way, it keeps ukraine in this fight because all of the discussion here in kyiv certainly has been about what happens if ukraine loses and there have been occasioned by generals over how much territory could potentially give up to preserve cities, for example. i think the approval of this bill allows ukraine to keep negotiating table at bay. it allows ukraine and extends its window, i think, to continue defending itself, to get any to take the fight to russia, in the hope that it could put the pressure back on, back on vladimir putin, to make his invasion unsustainable and force a concession on russian side. the pressure is largely on ukraine and now there is

political pressure to get their weaponry and ammunition here and applied by soldiers. ukraine also has to study with its own mobilisation issues and cutting up men trained, call up to the front line, to replace exhausted soldiers who have been there for up to two years in some cases. so this is welcome good news. this will be celebrated as much as you can in times of war. but now eyes will focus on when this kit will arrive and what difference it will make in the long term. you wonder when history books are waiting, how costly this delay may be or how significant this bill's passing could be in terms of helping ukraine and its goal of trying to stand up against russia.— and its goal of trying to stand up against russia. james, thank you. let's no against russia. james, thank you. let's go back _ against russia. james, thank you. let's go back to _ against russia. james, thank you. let's go back to helena _ against russia. james, thank you. let's go back to helena in - let's go back to helena in washington. there hasjust been another vote in the past few minutes about a funding passage to israel. take a through that? yes. about a funding passage to israel. take a through that?— take a through that? yes, that is riuht. a take a through that? yes, that is right. a funding _ take a through that? yes, that is right. a funding package - take a through that? yes, that is

back together and then head to the senate. the senate is expected to take it up on tuesday. just taking a look at some of the reaction that we have seen coming in. looking at some twitter statements, for example. the ukrainian prime minister say, we are happy for their successful passage of the bill and we are waiting for it now to be taken up by the senate. similar messages from the german foreign minister as well, saying that this shows the allies, their hearts are beating in unison and it is a day of optimism from ukraine and european security. but as you mentioned, also that bill on israel, along with taiwan and ukraine, have now cleared. along with taiwan and ukraine, have now cleared-— now cleared. lets go back to james in k iv. now cleared. lets go back to james in kyiv- as — now cleared. lets go back to james in kyiv- as you _ now cleared. lets go back to james in kyiv. as you said, _ now cleared. lets go back to james in kyiv. as you said, there - now cleared. lets go back to james in kyiv. as you said, there will- now cleared. lets go back to james in kyiv. as you said, there will be l in kyiv. as you said, there will be as much celebrating as they can be in times of war will stop across the country tonight. what is the feeling that amongst ordinary people about

ukraine because my position and where it stands in its fight against russia? it where it stands in its fight against russia? , , ., , russia? it is interesting. i was wondering _ russia? it is interesting. i was wondering kyiv _ russia? it is interesting. i was wondering kyiv this _ russia? it is interesting. i was wondering kyiv this week, - russia? it is interesting. iwas. wondering kyiv this week, asking people about this, what if this package arrives? i think people are focusing on the fact that it is so late or so far after president zelensky�*s and it shall please at the end of last year. —— initial please. i think the reason for that is because we are in this chapter mobilisation where ukraine isjust trying to find enough men to fight. i think for someone who is loved one is fighting on the front line, the arrival of this western aid, while that will help, it doesn't remove the danger, that makes sense because when you are fighting,, whether you are attacking or defending, that risk injures regardless and i think because ukraine has been put in such a precarious position because of

russia's dominance and because of waning american help, the path ahead looks increasingly unclear whereas this time last year, you had that initial overwhelming full—scale invasion where kyiv ultimately held and where ukraine undertook a number of successful counter offensives, setting that president that it can indeed take russia by surprise. what always amazes me is how much is what has changed in such a short space of time. you had eight years of aggression and pockets of fighting, they had a full—scale invasion. it is still a total war but you are seeing four to five positions on the russian side notably. you are seeing static fighting, fighting that is no less intense but all the while, you are in ukraine saying that several things need to happen at once that deadlock to be broken. the soldiers who are doing the fighting are

conscripts now, a large proportion and there elite fighters, those better trained fighters, there are now fewer of them so it is like a game of chess by both sides are trying to work out where to deploy them. so in principle, this gives ukraine the military backing to continue its fight but what is more difficult for ukraine is the lack of clear objectives because of because it is a fight for survival. that is simple in many ways but is it complete liberation? are they still going to try push russia out completely? politically, that is still the official aim at soldiers you speak to, all they are doing is holding on or repelling wave after wave of russian attack in some areas and our towns and cities bracing themselves, people living with anxieties of being occupied, some people have even been occupied before, they have gone through so much over the past couple of years of the previous decade. russia's aggression has never shown any signs of letting up and you can be sure today's rate will do little to change that. but it mightjust let

ukraine feel like it has got america behind it once more. the question is one it is going to arrive and buy the more support will follow because this was looking anything but short. we have had reaction from the eu, they say they welcome the approval of aid. let's go back to washington and helena. me of aid. let's go back to washington and helena-— and helena. we wanted to get reaction from _ and helena. we wanted to get reaction from lawmakers. - and helena. we wanted to get reaction from lawmakers. i. and helena. we wanted to get| reaction from lawmakers. i am and helena. we wanted to get - reaction from lawmakers. i amjoined reaction from lawmakers. i am joined now by democratic congresswoman firth california. she hasjust now by democratic congresswoman firth california. she has just come from congress. your reaction to what we saw today? i from congress. your reaction to what we saw today?— from congress. your reaction to what we saw today? i am glad that we were finall able we saw today? i am glad that we were finally able to — we saw today? i am glad that we were finally able to take _ we saw today? i am glad that we were finally able to take this _ we saw today? i am glad that we were finally able to take this vote. - we saw today? i am glad that we were finally able to take this vote. once - finally able to take this vote. once again— finally able to take this vote. once again it _ finally able to take this vote. once again it was because democrats stepped — again it was because democrats stepped up, we have continued to put the pressure on speakerjohnson and talk about— the pressure on speakerjohnson and talk about the fact that our nato

forfull un membership. the palestinian authority has had observer status since 2012 but cannot vote in proceedings. on thursday, 12 countries voted in favour of the resolution with the us opposing. palestinian president mahmoud abbas said in an interview with the wafa news agency that he will reconsider relations with washington, to ensure the interests of the palestinian people are protected. meanwhile in gaza, there've been more israeli air strikes in rafah in the south of the territory. this is the moment an israeli air strike hit rafah on saturday. there were more air strikes overnight, when nine people including at least four children were killed after their homes were hit. the israeli war cabinet has been planning a large offensive against hamas in rafah, which is where an estimated 1.5 million displaced palestinians are sheltering.

the us and other allies have warned israel against a full—scale assault on the city. rafah isn't the only city to come under attack — israel has carried out air strikes across the strip, these images show the entrance of the al aqsa hospital in central gaza where many of the injured or dead were taken. one of the main un agencies responsible for getting aid to palestinians, the united nations relief and works agency is warning that the risk of disease is increasing across gaza because of the lack of sanitation and aid. our correspondent in jerusalem wyre davies reports. the effect of six months of war has created a desperate humanitarian crisis in gaza. but amid the ruins of conflict, in some areas, aid is now getting through and can make the difference between surviving or dying of hunger. a flour delivery, organised by the world food programme, allowed this bakery in gaza city to reopen for the first time since the war began. translation: finally, i there is something to eat. you can go to the bakery and buy bread. just a few days ago, it was hard, we were looking for wood, flour and you couldn't find anything to feed the children. but for most gazans, the brutal reality of war

is a constant companion. at nasser hospital in rafah, parents and siblings consoled each other after several civilians, including children, were reported killed in overnight air strikes. israel said fighterjets and other aircraft struck dozens of terror sites. among the targets, it said, was military infrastructure, compounds and armed terrorists. the us has repeatedly urged israel not to launch what is expected to be a major offensive in rafah. we cannot support a major military operation in rafah. we believe that a major military operation, with a large presence of a civilian population, would have terrible consequences for that population. words that seem to have little impact on benjamin netanyahu. he has repeatedly said the offensive in rafah must happen, if hamas is to be defeated and israeli hostages released. for most gazans, survival is still a daily struggle.

retrieving food parcels from the sea — after an air drop — shows how chaotic the delivery of aid often is, as agencies warn of a worsening humanitarian crisis. wyre davies, bbc news, jerusalem. scott anderson, unrwa's affairs director who is now in gaza, told us about the situation in rafah, and the prospects of a bigger israeli offensive. i think very much it's a daily struggle for people here in rafah. there's close to 1.5 million people that have been displaced, most of them multiple times. they spend most of their day trying to find food, water, toilets. and as the weather starts to get hotter now, they're trying to find shade as a means to keep cool. so i think that we've had increased aid coming in, which is welcome. i don't think we're at the scale that we need to be at yet to ensure that the 2.2 million people that reside across gaza are cared for. but the other thing that you see in rafa is there's a kind of a palpable aura of fear as they wait to see what will happen

with an idf operation in rafah. thus far, there has not been any communication. our expectation is that they will give the innocent civilians that are here in rafah an opportunity to relocate. they'll probably be given instructions to do so. our hope is they'll be allowed to take their belongings with them as they try to find somewhere safer than would be in rafah. but at this point, other than believing this operation will happen, we don't have any indication around the timing of the operation, nor what the plan is for the innocent civilians and to deal with the humanitarian outfall of such an operation. israeli forces and palestinian militants have been exchanging fire for a second day of an israeli military raid in nur shams refugee camp in the occupied west bank. a number of people have been killed including ten militants, according to the israeli army. palestinian sources say that at least five people have been killed, including a child. at least four israeli soldiers

have also been wounded. violence in the west bank has intensified since the war between israel and hamas erupted last october. let's bring you some live pictures from tel aviv, iran's foreign minister has questioned whether israel was involved in friday's attack on iran, saying the weapons used were like "toys our children play with". but in an interview with nbc news, hossein amir—abdollahian said if israel did take "decisive action" against iran, the response would be "immediate" and "to the maximum". us officials said an israeli missile hit iran on friday — israel reportedly targeted an air defence radar system near the city of isfahan, which protects the natanz nuclear facility. it follows weeks of tensions between the rivals, during which israel attacked an iranian compound in syria, and iran launched an unprecedented assault against israel. let's bring you some live

pictures from tel aviv, where israeli protesters have gathered for their weekly demonstration against benjamin netanyahu's government. stay with us here on bbc news. i will be back a little later with more on the day's stories. hello. well, this time of the year, it really is all about the sunshine. it can feel quite pleasant, even if the temperature is not particularly high. but as soon as it clouds over, it can feel really cold. and i think that is the outlook over the next few days. a fair amount of cloud and feeling quite chilly, and it feels chilly right across europe. this is the temperature anomaly mapped through the weekend across the whole of europe — almost the whole of europe — the temperatures are below the average for the time of the year. even snow across northern europe and some snow across the alps, too. now over us, high pressure is in charge of the weather, but notice that northerly breeze close to the north sea

coast on the eastern side of the high pressure, which is centred around ireland. so this is the satellite picture from earlier on. it started off quite sunny, but then the clouds developed during the afternoon and it turned quite cold. now, through this evening, variable amounts of cloud, but some clear skies out towards the west here. just a little bit of rain sneaking in on a weak weather front across northern and central scotland. how about the temperatures? yes, a chance of a little bit of frost outside of town where the skies are clear through the night. but i think in city centres it's closer to around four, five, six degrees. so tomorrow, a similar day in that there will be a chilly breeze on the north sea coast, maybe one or two showers, but i think quite cloudy across northern, eastern scotland, the north east of england, too. a little bit of rain. the best of the weather by far out towards the west. the west of northern ireland could see temperatures around 17 or 18 degrees. now, the high pressure

is with us into monday, but these annoying weather fronts do sneak in on the eastern side of this high pressure. they are weak weather fronts, which means that there will be a fair amount of cloud, maybe a period of a little bit of rain moving through england, maybe reaching wales too. the best and brightest of the weather will be again out towards the west of the uk. we mightjust nudge into the mid—teens, 1a, 15, maybe 16 degrees. but again on the north sea coast and central parts of england, it'll be closer to around 10 or 12. is it going to be warming up? well, no, the outlook is remaining chilly. you can see temperatures of around 12 degrees there in london. about that in edinburgh, too. towards next weekend, it could turn a little milder, but it may turn more showery.

this is bbc news. the headlines: lawmakers in the us house of representatives pass a long—delayed bill providing billions of dollars in military aid for ukraine. kyiv has been pressing western allies for more air defence systems in the waragainst allies for more air defence systems in the war against russia. palestinians take cover as israel strikes homes in southern gaza — nine people have been killed, including at least four children, after strikes in rafah. meanwhile, the un agency for palestinian refugees warned of the risk of disease rising.

thousands of people take to the streets of the canary islands in protest at what they say are the damaging effects of over—tourism. they say it is damaging the environment and driving up costs for local people. the head of a uk government watchdog has told the bbc that rishi sunak has set us back on climate change. chris starks as the pm has left the uk at risk of falling behind other countries. —— chris stark says. now on bbc news, it's sportsday. hello there and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. manchester city are through to the final of the fa cup. we will be alive at wembley shortly. he missed a penalty but made amends — joe hart helps celtic beat aberdeen in a thrilling scottish cup semifinal. and a 28th successive six nations win for england's women, as they cruise past ireland at twickenham.
