if the civil war continues. we'll have rare pictures from the ground. and, joe biden seeks to boost his re—election campaign with a focus on abortion rights as trump hosts house speaker mike johnson to talk election integrity. hello, i'm sumi somaskanda. us presidentjoe biden is warning iran not to take military action against israel — as the us government says such an attack could happen �*imminently�*. iran vowed to retaliate after an apparent israeli air strike on its consulate in syria killed at least 13 people — including a senior military commander. that attack was condemned by the un's secretary—general, who said diplomatic and consular premises are off limits under international law. now, nearly two weeks later, american officials are telling cbs news an iranian strike on israel could come at any moment.

as concerns mount, joe biden is speaking out — take a listen. no, we are devoted to the defense of israel. we will support israel. we will defend help defend israel and iran will not succeed. thank you. so why is the us putting out such strong warnings about a possible attack? and how are those warnings being felt in israel? james landale has this analysis, from jerusalem. president biden has said that he expects an attack against israel from iran sooner rather than later and unnamed us officials are saying that attack could involve hundreds of drones and missiles against military targets here in israel. now, that may be a prediction of the future based on hard intelligence. but it may also be the united states trying to deter iran to try and minimise any kind of response by talking up the threat right now.

it also could be an attempt to try and shape expectations so that if and when iran does respond, it's seen as less escalatory. now, from iran's point of view, it has promised that it will punish israel for the attack on its consulate in damascus, the capital of syria 12 days ago. but equally iranian ministers have said they do not want to widen the scope of this war. and a massive attack using drones and missiles from iran to israel would indeed do that. there have been an attack on israel this evening, across the border in the north, hezbollah launching lots and lots of rockets. but that i have to say is a pretty regular occurrence and there's no evidence yet that is in any way linked, or that even the start of some kind of iranian led retaliation. the mood here in israel is calm the streets earlier today were full of people enjoying and preparing for that their sabbath meal, but the threat is being taken seriously. and there are even reports of hospitals being put on standby. so for now, israel is on alert.

and the world is watching and waiting to see what iran does next. and later on in the programme, i'll be joined by michael singh, senior fellow at the washington institute for near—east policy, a pro—israeli think tank — to discuss more on the situation. the world health organization says several regions in sudan may tip into famine if conflict does not end. more than a year of war between the nation's army and opposition paramilitary forces has forced more than nine million people from their homes. the devastating humanitarian impact is especially acute in the darfur region, where it's been almost impossible for aid organisations to transfer

supplies across conflict lines. the paramilitary rapid support forces now control the region, from where most aid workers have withdrawn. the army has blocked land routes from outside the country, saying the measure is aimed at stopping the flow of weapons. and while it has eased the transport of some food and other essential supplies, it's not nearly enough. zam zam is one of sudan's largest displaced persons camps, and the bbc has obtained rare video from there. our correspondent barbara plett usher reports — and a warning: some viewers may find images in her report distressing. infant cries. the youngest casualties of sudan's war are often not victims of bombs and bullets. this paediatric hospital in northern darfur is a front line in the country's hunger crisis. signs of malnutrition are stark. it's difficult for outsiders to get access to the region. we worked with a local cameraman to film these images. the son of this helima mohammed sulieman is getting emergency nutrition after bouts of diarrhoea and malaria. "we just don't have enough

food here," she says. "we're farmers but aren't able to harvest enough now and there's no other income. medicine is hard to get." in the next bed, amine ahmed ali is caring for six—month—old twins, slowly recovering from weeks of dysentery. doctors treated malnutrition here before the war. much more so now. translation: the numbers have doubled. _ every month, and the next month, the numbers increase. in the nearby zamzam camp for displaced people, they queue forfood. there isn't much of that, nor of clean water or health care. illnesses that could once be treated now kill. one child here dies every two hours — so says the charity doctors without borders, the last international humanitarians still on the ground. they found that one third of the camp's children under the age of five

are malnourished, and so are their mothers. qisma abubarkir is living that pain. she lost three children in four months. translation: i couldn't afford to take them to hospital. - the pharmacy demanded too much money. my first child died on the way home from there and the second child died after six days. the baby fell sick and died three days later. zamzam is one of sudan's largest camps, formed by previous conflict, so already fragile. but the latest war has displaced more than 8 million people, blocked aid, shut down the economy. what's needed is full humanitarian access across conflict lines and a massive surge of food and medicine. but famine looms. i spoke to doctors without borders at their nairobi headquarters.

we have a nutritional crisis. it's a catastrophic nutritional crisis. the children that we screened in the camp of zamzam is the tip of the iceberg. we are talking about only one camp. so it could be much worse. it could be much worse, yes. this little boy may live, but if the war stretches into another year, many, many other children will die. barbara plett usher, bbc news, nairobi. president biden announced friday that his administration is cancelling $7.1; billion dollars of student debt, for more than 270,000 americans. it comes at the end of a busy week for the biden administration's domestic policies. on thursday the environmental protection agency — run by a biden appointee — set the first—ever limit on dangerous �*forever—chemicals�* in us water supplies. that same day the justice department expanded background checks for gun sales = in what it calls the largest expansion in 30 years. and now the white house is cementing "abortion" as a campaign issue, coming out against extreme bans and tying them to donald trump.

it was his us supreme court appointees who ended the constitutional right to an abortion by striking down roe v wade just two years ago. vice president kamala harris was speaking in arizona on friday, where the state's supreme court brought back an abortion law from 1864 that criminalises the procedure. she laid the blame for that ruling squarely on the former president — donald trump. so here's what a second trump term looks like. more bands, more suffering and less freedom. just like he did in arizona, he basically wants to take america back to the 1800s. but we are not going to let that happen. internal biden campaign polling data obtained by the washington post shows that abortion is more important than the israel—hamas war for many voters but the biggest threat to mr biden�*s re—election may ultimately

be voter's sentiment about the economy. the month of march saw a setback in the fight against inflation. higher costs forfuel, housing, dining out and clothing drove that increase. prices rose 3.5% over the 12 months to march, biden has touted the fact that economic growth is exceeding expectations and that unemployment is back to pre—pandemic levels. but americans are still feeling the pinch at the grocery store. an associated press poll out friday found 58% of us adults believe biden has hurt �*cost of living'. compared to 40% who said the same for donald trump. trump's been using this economic strain to attack biden�*s campaign. the former us president hosted house speaker mikejohnson at mar—a—lago, while �*election integrity�* was on the agenda, the meeting also focused on the us—mexico southern border. we will introduce legislation to require that every single person who registers to vote in a federal election must

prove that they are a americans assists in first, to prove it. that will be a new part of the federal law and a very important one. stephanie murphy, former democrat member of congress from floridarodney davis, former republican member of congress from illinois. what you make speaker of the house mike johnson going down to mar—a—lago for this press conference with donald trump on election integrity. we should mention that the former president is facing two trials on election interference charges. i on election interference charges-_ on election interference charaes. ~' , on election interference charaes. ., �* ~ , ., charges. i don't think it is a surprise — charges. i don't think it is a surprise to _ charges. i don't think it is a surprise to many _ charges. i don't think it is a surprise to many that - charges. i don't think it is a surprise to many that the l surprise to many that the republican speaker of the house is going — republican speaker of the house is going to do a press conference with the republican presumptive nominee for president. this issue is something that needs to be addressed. we have to make sure that americans in both parties have _ that americans in both parties have faith in the american election— have faith in the american election system. what speaker johnson — election system. what speaker johnson proposed today is a good — johnson proposed today is a good faith effort to lead us on that wax _ good faith effort to lead us on that way. i think it is very

important before this presidential election because i have _ presidential election because i have witnessed democrats and not abiding by election results and republicans doing the exact same _ and republicans doing the exact same thing. we need to come together— same thing. we need to come together in a bipartisan way, and — together in a bipartisan way, and not _ together in a bipartisan way, and not turn this into a red shiri— and not turn this into a red shirt versus a blue shirt issue~ _ shirt versus a blue shirt issue. ~ . , shirt versus a blue shirt issue. ~ ., , .,~ ., issue. what is your take on this issue. _ issue. what is your take on this issue, what _ issue. what is your take on this issue, what is - issue. what is your take on this issue, what is your - issue. what is your take on | this issue, what is your take on the issue of election integrity?— on the issue of election integrity? on the issue of election inteuri ? n�* , integrity? as americans we should support _ integrity? as americans we should support election - should support election integrity in this country. unfortunately, the republicans, since the last presidential election, about two thirds still believe the outcome of that election it still is not true and you find many of the elected republicans out there saying that it is not true, undermining democracy. cannot accept american election results when your team wins. it is really important that we do approach this election with a united american front where we believe in our democracy and we believe in our democracy and we believe and vote counts. they've been pressing the

narrative that the last election was not accurate without any real evidence and i think that is a real problem. we must underline that of course there is no evidence that there was anything wrong with the election results from 2020. i want to come back to you, rodney, one more question on mikejohnson the speaker of the house visiting donald trump, it is at a time when the republican party is split over a number of legislative items including the foreign intelligence act that passed renewing today, but also more aid for ukraine.— aid for ukraine. how much influence _ aid for ukraine. how much influence do _ aid for ukraine. how much influence do think - aid for ukraine. how much influence do think the - aid for ukraine. how much i influence do think the former president has on some of these decisions? _ president has on some of these decisions? i think he has a tremendous amount of influence. he is— tremendous amount of influence. he is going to be the republican nominee and there are issues that he is very voice _ are issues that he is very voice for— are issues that he is very voice for us on. but the issue of foreign intelligence has split— of foreign intelligence has split republicans for a very long — split republicans for a very long time. i remembervoting against — long time. i remembervoting against the reforms because i had similar reforms to limit concerns— had similar reforms to limit concerns that might republican and democratic colleagues has 'ust and democratic colleagues has just this — and democratic colleagues has just this week. we and democratic colleagues has

just this week.— just this week. we should say that the foreign _ just this week. we should say that the foreign intelligence l that the foreign intelligence surveillance act is a something as you said, we saw both sides of the aisle, concerns on that. but i want to pivot not to some of the economic data that we had just mentioned because that is also interesting. we saw and some of the polls and 58% of americans think thatjoe biden has hurt the economy. americans think that joe biden has hurt the economy.- americans think that joe biden has hurt the economy. what you make of that? _ has hurt the economy. what you make of that? i _ has hurt the economy. what you make of that? i think _ has hurt the economy. what you make of that? i think it - has hurt the economy. what you make of that? i think it is - has hurt the economy. what you make of that? i think it is the i make of that? i think it is the soft underbelly of the biden campaign is the economy. no matter what he says on the issue, he's failing to convince the american people that the economy is doing better and he uses a lot of macroeconomic data to try to say, unemployment has been low, things are heading in the right direction, but has been unable to connect with people personally who are going to the supermarket and seeing that things are still expensive and are generally unhappy. that is something he has to figure out how to address between now in election day in order for him to go into election day winning. but this cannot be a referendum on him and the way

that he has won the economy especially with the sentiments we currently see with americans with the polling that exists right now. i with the polling that exists right nova— right now. i 'ust want to follow-up _ right now. i just want to follow-up on _ right now. i just want to follow-up on that. - right now. i just want to j follow-up on that. what right now. i just want to i follow-up on that. what do right now. i just want to - follow-up on that. what do you follow—up on that. what do you think that is that president biden has not had more success with his messaging on these everyday items and what impact americans when it comes to the economy? i americans when it comes to the economy?— economy? i think too often the democratic _ economy? i think too often the democratic party _ economy? i think too often the democratic party likes - economy? i think too often the democratic party likes to - economy? i think too often the democratic party likes to talk l democratic party likes to talk in college faculty room speak as opposed to factory floor language where there are actually connecting with american people and feeling their pain. for example, i will take for inflation, the white house trick to convince people of the white inflation was transitory, quote unquote come up transitory, quote unquote come up that me to the american consumer and voter. we must find a way as democratic party to connect better on these issues using language that the real average american can understand.— understand. you think the donald trump _ understand. you think the donald trump of - understand. you think the donald trump of the - understand. you think the - donald trump of the publicans are doing a successfuljob

about that on that communicating on the economy? absolutely. i agree wholeheartedly with stephanie that is— wholeheartedly with stephanie that is a weak spot for the biden— that is a weak spot for the biden campaign and for president bided himself. there are ways — president bided himself. there are ways he can overcome that, because — are ways he can overcome that, because as _ are ways he can overcome that, because as we have seen, the polling — because as we have seen, the polling has indicated that immigration is a much larger concern _ immigration is a much larger concern to— immigration is a much larger concern to most americans. if he could — concern to most americans. if he could do something on immigration, it may take the pressure _ immigration, it may take the pressure off of him with the economy. which, when you look at statistics, it is not doing too — at statistics, it is not doing too badly right now in the united _ too badly right now in the united states. but stephanie is correct — united states. but stephanie is correct. most americans go to the grocery store, they see increased prices, they see higher— increased prices, they see higher gas prices and they are not feeling that the economy is great _ not feeling that the economy is great when it comes to their own— great when it comes to their own pocketbook. stephanie, one auestion own pocketbook. stephanie, one question for _ own pocketbook. stephanie, one question for you _ own pocketbook. stephanie, one question for you on _ own pocketbook. stephanie, one question for you on another - question for you on another issue the biden campaign is hoping will be important which is a abortion. the vice president in arizona and then today after they brought out that your total ban on

abortion, will this galvanise voters as democrats hope? this will be an _ voters as democrats hope? this will be an issue _ voters as democrats hope? in 3 will be an issue helpful to the democratic party because it is an issue that in lights democrats and divides republicans. you've arty sent to a restaurant to create space within the very restrictive laws being passed state—by—state. i will also include the alabama band essentially on ivf allowing people to use in vitro fertilisation to start their families. this feels too extreme to most americans who are about two thirds of whom thought that roe v wade, that standard hadn't about right. so you will see a lot of democratic groups leading into this because they saw in 2020 as well, when roe v wade was able to blunt what was the expected red wave election and the midterms and hoping to be able to repeat that. —— in 2022. able to repeat that. -- in 2022. ., ~ able to repeat that. -- in 2022. . ~ . able to repeat that. -- in 2022. . . ., 2022. thank you so much and both forjoining _ 2022. thank you so much and both forjoining us _ 2022. thank you so much and both forjoining us today - 2022. thank you so much and both forjoining us today on i both forjoining us today on bbc news.

around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at another story making news. police are investigating claims labour's deputy leader, angela rayner, may have broken electoral law. it follows a complaint by a deputy chairman of the conservative party, over whether she paid the correct amount of tax on the sale of her council house, in 2015. ms rayner strongly denies she's done anything wrong. greater manchester police had originally said there would be no inquiry. our political correspondent peter saull has more. where the allegation potentially is concerning for her is whether or not she provided inaccurate information on where exactly she was living at that time to do with the registery of her children's birth, for example. the conservatives went banging on that with this, nothing has changed as concerned with greater manchester, and new concerns put to them by a mp, saying

to the police why you not looking at some of their neighbours had been saying who had contradicted her her accounts on where she had been living. ms rayner says she will step down if she is found to have broken the law. you're live with bbc news. this week, the uk's foreign secretary, lord cameron, said the uk will not block arms sales to israel, after reviewing the latest legal advice on the issue. but pressure on the british government continues to mount, with critics saying weapons exports to israel could make britain complicit in alleged breaches of international humanitarian law. our analysis editor ros atkins explains. this week the uk foreign secretary lord cameron gave an update on arms sales to israel. opposition is in line with our international partners. so far no like—minded countries have taken — no like—minded countries have taken the _ no like—minded countries have taken the decision to suspend existing — taken the decision to suspend existing arms export licenses to israel~ _ existing arms export licenses to israel. ., �* , to israel. the government's osition to israel. the government's position is _ to israel. the government's position is based _ to israel. the government's position is based on - to israel. the government's position is based on legal. position is based on legal advice which as standard has not been published. the shadow foreign secretary says that in this case, it should be. that

the government is avoiding scrutiny. arms sales are a focus because of israel plus my actions in gaza. it denies targeting civilians, but has killed thousands of them. and it has done so in part with weapons from the west. the us accounts for 65% of arms sales to israel in the past decade. germany, over29%. italy come overfour. in 2022, the uk provided 0.0 2% of israel's military imports. but although the uk is not a major arms supplier to israel, it is a long—time ally. and if arms sales will stop, that will be a significant diplomatic blood to israel. that, has not happened, for now at least. and whether that may change depends on the uk's own rules. they say that the government should not grant a licence if it determines that there is a clear risk that the items may be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law. tojudge this, the government receives legal advice. , , government receives legal advice. , ., ., advice. this is a formal process- _

21.5 degrees celsius was recorded at both stjames's park and northolt, both in greater london, making it the warmest day of the year so far. we have something of a change in the weather forecast, though, for saturday. cooler air is going to be arriving across both scotland and northern ireland behind this cold front. and that's significant because scotland also recorded its warmest day of 2024 as well on friday — 20.2 degrees celsius in fyvie castle. but across scotland and northern ireland, temperatures widely will be dropping by around five or six degrees celsius into saturday. so you will notice that significant change. right now the weather is quite quiet, though. we've got a few patches of high cloud around, one or two areas of mist and fog and a few showers slightly. temperatures as we start saturday morning around 8 to 11 degrees celsius. we're looking at a mild start to the day. now, a band of rain, a cold front will quickly swing its way into northern ireland and scotland. as that moves eastwards, what will follow is blustery showers with some hailstorms mixed in the winds gusting up to 50 miles an hour further southwards. now a patch of rain

for northern england and across wales, otherwise largely dry. much cooler air across scotland and northern ireland arrives through the afternoon, whereas across england and wales it's going to be the last of the really warm days. temperatures, i suspect, will reach around 21 or 22 in the warmest areas of eastern england, with colder air arriving across most parts of england and wales after dark. well, that takes us into sunday's forecast. and sunday is going to be a blustery day for scotland and northern ireland. frequent showers here, some of them with hail and thunder mixed in. there will be a few showers developing through the day across northern england and wales, but it may well stay largely dry across east anglia and the south of england. wherever you are, temperatures will be much closer to average, 15 degrees in london. so a big change from the low 20s that we'll have on saturday, it will feel cooler. on into the start of the new week, monday sees low pressure move in off the atlantic with this cold front diving its way southwards across the country. and that's going to be bringing a spell of rain followed by showers, showery weather conditions

around for tuesday and for wednesday. but the weather should become drier and a bit warmer towards the end of next week. bye for now. this is bbc news.

we will have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. ready to tack in three, two, one... it makes you just feel so powerful and strong. but it also makes you feel free. it has real, tangible benefits for the students that do it. it was pretty rough conditions, like 20 knots, wind against tide. let's keep behind, let's keep behind.

the weather was crazy. right?
