hello, i'm sarah campbell. we start with a special report from israel. medical workers in israel have told the bbc that palestinian detainees from gaza are routinely kept shackled to hospital beds, blindfolded, sometimes naked, and forced to wear nappies — a practice one medic said amounted to torture. israel's army said in response that handcuffing of detainees in the sde teiman military hospital was carried out in cases where the security risk requires it, and that nappies were used only for those who have undergone medical procedures. there are some upsetting retails in this report from our middle east correspondent, lucy williamson. sofiane abu saleh survived months of war unscathed. he left military detention in israel

permanently disabled. a taxi driver from khan younis, released without charge after weeks of interrogation. his return soured by sadness. translation: my leg got infected and turned blue l and soft as a sponge. after seven days they took me to the military hospital. they operated twice to clean the wound but it didn't work. afterwards they took me to a public hospital where the doctor gave me two options — my leg or my life. neither israel's army nor health ministry has responded to these allegations. there is growing concern over the medical care of gazan detainees in israel. cast as unlawful combatants even before interrogation, doctors say they are kept shackled and blindfolded, including during hospital treatment.

allegations have centred on a new field hospital at the state imam military base. one senior medic there says patients are kept blindfolded and in nappies, with all four limbs handcuffed to the bed. they are the army, not me, they create the patient to be depending 100% on you like a baby. you are cuffed, you are with diaper, you need the water, you need everything. it is the dehumanisation of them. the army told us that the need to handcuff detainees in the medical facility was examined individually and daily and that cuffing was done when the security risk required it. diapers — or nappies — it said, were only for those patients with limited movement. the doctor told us these measures were applied to all patients without assessment, even those who couldn't walk.

if they can't stand on their legs why are they shackled? i can't answer this, this is stupid. the hamas attacks on the 7th of october left israel's hospital staff treating captured fighters alongside their israeli victims. many current detainees are released without charge but the complex feelings of some medics remain. two medics told us painkillers had been withheld, causing what one described as an unacceptable amount of pain. this man, who we are calling yona, described a case he said took place in a public, civilian hospital. his words have been voiced by an actor. i have knowledge of one case where the painkillers were used selectively during the procedure. if you put together that someone is undergoing an invasive procedure which involves even incisions and the patient doesn't know

about that and is blindfolded, then the line between treatment and assault thins out. treating gazan captives on military sites was meant to resolve doctors�* ethical dilemmas, but those dilemmas remain. the moment our hospital at state iman closes, one told me, we will celebrate. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. let's go live now tojerusalem and our correspondent danjohnson. hello. let's talk first of all about the news from the international criminal court, they have talked about the fact they are looking into issuing arrest warrants for the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and also yoav gallant. i am looking at wires now and yoav gallant has just issued a statement saying he is accusing the icc prosecutor of trying to deny the

israeli right to self—defence and to recover hostages, so clearly a very strong response from israel to this news from the icc?— strong response from israel to this news from the icc? yes, a strong and furious response. _ news from the icc? yes, a strong and furious response. it _ news from the icc? yes, a strong and furious response. it is _ news from the icc? yes, a strong and furious response. it is in _ news from the icc? yes, a strong and furious response. it is in the - news from the icc? yes, a strong and furious response. it is in the main - furious response. it is in the main a united response. whereas in the last week we have been seen divisions opening between benjamin netanyahu, his defence secretary and the other member of his war cabinet, we are seeing that united in condemnation of this move by the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court to press charges, to issue arrest warrants for mr netanyahu and mr gallant. the prime minister last night described this as a moral outrage of historic proportions, he said it would cast an everlasting mark shame on the international criminal court, he said that the prosecutor creates a twisted and false moral equivalence between the leaders of israel and the henchmen of hamas, something which sets a

dangerous precedent and undermines every democracy�*s right to defend itself against terror organisations. he has made clear that he believes the international criminal court has no jurisdiction over israel, israel is not signed up to the international criminal court, but the court recognises the state of palestine so it seems even if israelis will challenge this on the basis of a lack ofjurisdiction, the court has already ruled that matters affecting the palestinian people come within its remit. i think we will see a concerted attempt to challenge the international criminal court's legitimacy and to question its approach here. we have already seen the united states presidentjoe biden saying this is an outrageous move, the us is not signed up to the international criminal court but even those who are had questioned this, the word from a british spokesman was that this was unhelpful at the moment. there is real outrage at the perceived moral equivalence of bringing an arrest warrant against benjamin netanyahu at the same time as the top leaders

of hamas, something they say they will challenge and question, they will challenge and question, they will ignore. but the reality will be that if arrest warrants are issued, benjamin netanyahu could be at risk of arrest visiting any countryside trip to the international criminal court, including britain. what would britain do if netanyahu visited? will he restricted travel plans if that happens? these are big questions for the future which could possibly test international relations and the upholding of international law, justice and accountability. international law, 'ustice and accountability.— international law, 'ustice and accountability. dan johnson in jerusalem. — accountability. dan johnson in jerusalem, thank _ accountability. dan johnson in jerusalem, thank you. - we move to iran, where funeral ceremonies for the president, ebrahim raisi, are getting under way after his body was recovered on monday from the wreckage of a helicopter crash. events will take place across the country before he is buried. iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, will preside over the main ceremony. rescue teams found no survivors from the crash, which happened on sunday as mr raisi was flying back

from a trip to iran's northern neighbour, azerbaijan. the iranian foreign minister was also killed. the cause of the crash has not yet been established. with me is kasra naji — bbc persian�*s special correspondent. thank you forjoining us in the studio, kasra. take us through events, five days of mourning announced by the supreme leader and they are very much under way? what they are very much under way? what we have seen — they are very much under way? what we have seen today _ they are very much under way? what we have seen today is _ they are very much under way? what we have seen today is a _ they are very much under way? wiat we have seen today is a sendoff, an informal funeral for the eight people who died in this incident, including president bracey and his foreign minister. we saw crowds of people in the streets of tabriz, the capital of the eastern azerbaijan province of iran in the north—west.

and the significance being they were on their way to that city when the helicopter crash? the on their way to that city when the helicopter crash?— helicopter crash? the site of the crash is about _ helicopter crash? the site of the crash is about 100 _ helicopter crash? the site of the crash is about 100 kilometres i crash is about 100 kilometres north of the city. we have seen a big open truck today driving amongst the crowds in the city centre, carrying the conference of the president and the conference of the president and the foreign minister and others who were killed —— carrying the coffins. we saw people throwing flowers at the procession and the truck and the coffins. the ceremony has gone on for some two and a half hours, probably another hour or two to go. there is a huge crowd. what i had seen on iranian state television coverage we are talking probably 10,000 people, probably more. that

is a big crowds. the reason for the big crowd is not because he is popular but because these are the people who are supporters of the regime, of the hardliners, of the government and they have invested in the government, the government has invested in them, they support each other and the iranian government and regime is very keen to bring out as many people as possible to these kinds of ceremonies, to project the popular support and the continuity and stability that they are very keen to preserve. me and stability that they are very keen to preserve.— and stability that they are very keen to preserve. we will have to leave it there, _ keen to preserve. we will have to leave it there, but _ keen to preserve. we will have to leave it there, but looking - keen to preserve. we will have to leave it there, but looking at - keen to preserve. we will have to l leave it there, but looking at these pictures, we have the ceremony and pace today but the five days of mourning will continue, the bodies will be transferred to tehran as the

funerals continue over the course of five days. you can keep up with all of the latest news from iran on the bbc news website. there is a live page running and plenty of assessment from our correspondents both there and here about the significance of the death of president bracey who died in a helicopter crash yesterday. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

the uk government is expected to outline plans for a compensation scheme for victims of the nhs contaminated blood scandal. it comes after a report, released on monday, outlined how there were years of deceptions and cover ups by doctors and successive governments preventing people who were infected and their families from knowing what had happened. more than 30,000 people were infected with diseases like hiv and hepatitis c

between the 1970s and 1990s. 3,000 have already died. rishi sunak said the episode brought shame upon the british state. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. cheering and applause. a moment of relief and joy after years of grief, frustration and anger, sir brian langstaff delivers his findings to just some of the thousands of people whose lives have been touched by the infected blood scandal. outside, some of them reflected on a moment they've spent decades fighting for. we all knew, what we all knew, we're now hearing. and so for me, that is justice. it is incredibly sad and hard that he's not here today. but i feel he'd go, "well done, we've done it". yeah, definitely. mean so much, a0 years of fighting. i wish my parents were both

here to be here with me, but they've passed on. but i hope they're looking down because it's for them and it's for him to have recognition his life did mean something. sir brian's five year investigation found that clinicians, blood services and hospitals and successive governments didn't put patient safety first. ministers were wrong to say that patients received the best medical treatment available at the time, and to save face and expense, successive governments refused to admit responsibility, showing little interest in finding the truth, listening to those infected or taking action. the report prompted this apology from the prime minister. this is an apology from the state to every single person impacted by this scandal. it did not have to be this way. it should never have been this way. and on behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s, i am truly sorry.

those at the heart of the infected blood scandal are now waiting to see what ministers have to say about long—delayed compensation payments. it's a bit like christmas morning, you're waking up and you've opened the present, but it's not really the present you wanted. the one we really want is about the whole sort of compensation. the key test of this inquiry is whether it can achieve real, long lasting, fundamental change in the nhs, in the medical profession, in government, so that a scandal as dreadful as this never happens again. dominic hughes, bbc news. let's speak to our chief political correspondent henry zeffman who's live in westminster. henry, the prime minister said yesterday a day of shame for the british state. it is very rare i think for such strong words to be used, but completelyjustified, having heard the report yesterday?

extremely rare, and extremely rare to have a prime minister standing at the dispatch box of the house of commons apologising not for something they specifically have done but something about the state has done, something that successive governments over decades have done. rishi sunak vowed to pay whatever it costs and compensation to do as much as the government can at this late juncture to put it right. that is the question that will be asked in the question that will be asked in the house of commons today, how is the house of commons today, how is the government proposing to compensate both those infected in this awful scandal but also those affected, the family members, loved ones and so on, of those treated with these contaminated blood products. this is the big question for today and it was clear yesterday that across political parties there is now, although campaigners would say far too late, a real desire to put this right at long last. find

put this right at long last. and a fiaure put this right at long last. and a figure talked — put this right at long last. and a figure talked about _ put this right at long last. and a figure talked about is _ put this right at long last. and a figure talked about is a - put this right at long last. and a figure talked about is a figure i put this right at long last. and a figure talked about is a figure of £10 billion?— figure talked about is a figure of £10 billion? that is right, that is what most _ £10 billion? that is right, that is what most estimates _ £10 billion? that is right, that is what most estimates put - £10 billion? that is right, that is what most estimates put this i what most estimates put this compensation scheme at, an awful lot of money even by the standards of a government budget, but it is what people who have done the sums seem to think it's the amount required to compensate the number of people affected, which is in the tens of thousands, and more people are realising they were affected now as there is this greater media coverage and greater public scrutiny of these years in which people were treated with contaminated blood products. in practical terms, with contaminated blood products. in practicalterms, how with contaminated blood products. in practical terms, how this compensation, the overall package will be distributed between those affected, i think it's one of the most crucial questions and also at what pace, because campaigners say someone affected by this are still dying once every four days on average so obviously there will be a

real desire on the part of campaigners and many members of parliament to ensure the compensation is paid out as fast as possible. compensation is paid out as fast as ossible. , ,,., ., possible. henry safran in westminster, _ possible. henry safran in westminster, thank - possible. henry safran in westminster, thank you. j possible. henry safran in i westminster, thank you. -- possible. henry safran in - westminster, thank you. -- henry westminster, thank you. —— henry zeffman. here in the uk — a woman in her 50s has died after being attacked by her two xlbbully dogs. police were called to a property in east london on monday afternoon. due to the threat posed, armed officers attended and safely seized two dogs. from the start of february, it became a criminal offence to own the xl bully breed in england and wales without an exemption certificate. for more details on this, let's speak to our reporter paul hawkins, who is in hornchurch in east london. hello. a dreadful incident, what do we know about what happened? details have been small _ we know about what happened? details have been small from _ we know about what happened? details have been small from the _ have been small from the metropolitan police, not many, to be honest, but we know thatjust

metropolitan police, not many, to be honest, but we know that just after one o'clock yesterday afternoon police were called to this property just behind me and attended the scene following reports that a woman inside had been attacked by two xl bully dogs. so seriously be sent an armed response unit and the police entered the property and found the drugs inside. the police are keen to stress that the dogs remained inside the house and during that time they took the dogs away, but very sadly all we know about the woman is that she is in her 50s, she died at the scene. the investigation if i can just step out of shot, it is ongoing at the moment. the blue hazmat tent in front of the front door has been there throughout the night and police have capped a presence here overnight, this alone police officer. —— kept a presence. there is police tape around the property and the car in the driveway and just

the one police car here, but given the one police car here, but given the hazmat tent is still there we expect detectives to turn up later and carry out the investigation into this attack, which is notable given the two xl bullies inside were registered under the new scheme that all xl bully owners have to be part of, that is a legal requirement now, we believe this to be the first fatal attack involving two xl bullies registered under the scheme. paul hawkins, thank you. mount fuji is one ofjapan�*s most inconic landmarks — and in recent years, social media has made photographing it even more popular. of fuji kawaguchiko — a town with an incredible view — which is being swamped by millions of tourists. residents have now decided they've had enough — and to keep the selfie—crowds away they're taking the unlikely step of putting up a huge barrier to block the view. as well as blanking out mount fuji — it's also meant to stop people from wandering out into the road.

our correspondent shaima khalil is there. the most japanese of views gone viral. one of the country's most ubiquitous shops set against its smoke —— majestic, snowcapped volcano. you have probably seen this on instagram and tiktok, the famous for g lawson, the social media money shots for millions of viewers, but it will not be around for long. in this picturesque town, local residents are fed up with tourists behaving badly, all for the perfect snap. as a last ditch effort in this black barrier is being constructed to discourage the crowds, but that has attracted more attention. if this screen is meant to stop people from coming, it has not done so yet. some locals are not convinced this is the solution. translation: i hope we won't have — is the solution. translation: i hope we won't have to _ is the solution. translation: i hope we won't have to deal _ is the solution. translation: i hope we won't have to deal with _ is the solution. translation: i hope we won't have to deal with more i

we face criminal gangs growing in strength across the european continent and beyond, and they are exacting a terrible human toll. people are losing their lives as they are exploited by these criminal gangs and it is of course a threat to our stability, the rule of law and, rightly, our citizens demand their leaders, their politicians, tackle it, and that is what both karl and i are doing and i want to congratulate karl on his leadership, he has been writes for a long time and led the charge in europe are making sure this is a topic that gets the attention it deserves. the cargo ship which crashed into a bridge in baltimore nearly two months ago, causing it to collapse, with the deaths of six highway workers, has finally been refloated and towed

away from the wreckage. these sped—up time lapse videos show the operation taking place to refloat the dali. in reality, it took several careful hours of work to complete the operation. the us army had earlier used controlled explosions to remove hundreds of tonnes of twisted metal and batch operation continues. stay with us. we have had some late spring sunshine over recent days and they few showers around, we will see more over the next few days. between tuesday and friday the weather turns more unsettled, this is the rainfall we expect to accumulate and particularly across the north—east of scotland, ten and close to 100 millimetres of rain by the end of the week so things are turning more unsettled gradually. after a misty

and making a start, scattered showers building in the afternoon but very hit and miss. tuesday will dawn with sea fog across the far north—east of scotland, aberdeenshire, orkney, some of the north sea coast and northern ireland. some patchy rain almost anywhere by the afternoon that the areas most likely to see it, perhaps in heavy showers, one or two in the south—east, could be thunderstorms around. showers 30 few and far between across wales and northern england but heavy and potentially thundery one is likely on tuesday afternoon across northern ireland at the scattering of showers across central scotland. some areas so murky and the sea fog will roll and across parts of scotland as we head overnight into wednesday. we will see more persistent rain working across eastern england and central scotland and it will be quite a mild night with temperatures staying well in double figures. into wednesday and low pressure looks like it will move from the near continent and push gradually further north across

parts of northern england and scotland too, you can see the blue and green colours indicating more persistent spells of rain we are likely to see on wednesday around the east coast in particular. for northern ireland, wales, central and southern england it will be a day of sunny spells and scattered showers, temperatures down a notch compared to recent days, 17 to 19 for most but cooler close to some of the coasts. low pressure and thursday stores across scotland in particular, feeding and more moisture for parts of highland aberdeenshire, for instance, there could be localised flooding as the rainfall total demand. elsewhere sunshine, scattered showers especially around the north sea coast and it is that they cooler. the middle of the week is fairly unsettled, showers on the cards, it looks like they become fewer towards the weekend and for some of us those temperatures will be rising once again. goodbye.

this is bbc news. hello, i'm sarah campbell. rishi sunak has delivered what he called a wholehearted and unequivocal apology to victims of the infected blood scandal. addressing parliament on monday, he called it a day of shame for the british state. it follows publication of a damning report into the infection of more than 30,000 people with diseases like hiv and hepatitis c from the 1970s to the 1990s due to the use of contaminated

blood and plasma. with me now is dave abdo whose dad died age 52 after having a blood transfusion. roger newman who was born a haemophiliac and who was infected with hiv and hepititis after recieving contaminated blood as a teenager. and also with us is sarah westoby, a solicitor who has 300 clients affected by the infected blood scandal. thank you so much to all of you for joining us here and anybody who saw the coverage yesterday and listen to sir brian langstaff who wrote that report couldn't fail to have been affected by it. of course it has affected by it. of course it has affected you so personally. roger, you were there yesterday and, david,
