hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. israel recalls negotiators from mediation talks in doha after concluding that dialogue with hamas is "at a dead end". will get to that shortly, but it is a busy night of international football. here's gavin. hello, from the bbc sport centre. another big evening of football ahead — and a lot on the line for wales — who are in action against poland — with a place in this summer's european championship at stake. it's approaching half time in cardiff. the score there is currently 0—0, although wales just had a goal ruled out. both sides evenly matched, just a place separates them in the rankings. and both had big wins
8:32 pm
in their previous play—off semis to get to this stage. the winners of this clash will be placed in group d at euro 2024, along with france, the netherlands and austria against the continuing backdrop of the war against russia, ukraine are hosting iceland in their playoff final eliminator. that game is being played in poland because of what's happening in kyiv. currently 1—0 to iceland there. sergiy rebrov�*s men came back to beat bosnia—herzegovina 2—1 in their playoff semi, with iceland comfortably beating israel. currently i—o currently 1—0 to iceland there. an historic moment for georgia in tuesday's earlier euro playoff final. they're through to their first european championship — after beating greece on penalties. the game was tense — 0—0 afterfull time, and nothing to separate the sides in extra time too. so the shoot—out to settle it. and that went the way of georgia — nika kvekveskiri with the crucial kick for them, as they won 4—2 on penalties. delight for them — and this summer they'll be in a group alongside portugal,
8:33 pm
turkey and czech republic. england's participation in the euros is secure, of course, so their friendly against belgium tonight takes on a different purpose for gareth southgate. it's their final outing before he names his squad for the tournament in the summer. gareth southgate has given full debuts to kobbie mainoo, ezri konsa, anjd ivan toney — and it was the brentford striker who equalised for the home side with a penalty, after youri thielemans had put the visitors ahead. jarod bowen then had a goal chalked off after a var check, before thielemans made it 2—1. joe gomez has come on for england to replace the injured john stones. elsewhere, scotland face northern ireland, it's curently 1—0 to northern ireland in that one. germany — the hosts are 1—0 agsainst the netherlands. spain versus brazil isjust under way. it is currently goalless. sarina wiegman has named her england squad for the euro 2025 qualifiers against sweden and the republic of ireland. leah williamson is back
8:34 pm
in the squad, after her making her return to the arsenal first—team after nine months out with an acl injury. williamson was initially called up for friendlies against austria and italy last month, but had to withdraw through injury. we all didn't expect that one, and she the least. so yeah, that was a hard one to take, a big disappointment for her and us too. but you have to take it and get back, and get back into playing games. i think she recovered really well, and it didn't take too long, so that was good. and now she's getting into the rhythm, of course, she didn't play that many games yet, but she's getting there. she needs the minutes now. on to tennis — and andy murray says he'll be out for an extended period with an ankle injury, raising questions about how many matches he has left in his stellar career. the two time wimbledon champion injured it during his defeat at the miami open, in what's widely believed to be his farewell summer in the sport. he has said on social media,
8:35 pm
"i'll be back with one hip and no ankle ligaments when the time is right." and a women's ashes test will be held at the melbourne cricket ground for the first time in more than 75 years. the four—day match will be a day—nighter injanuary next year, and will be the culmination of the multi—format series — they'll play three one—day internationals and three t20s before they head to the 100,000 capacity mcg. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much, gavin. israel has recalled its negotiators from the mediation talks in doha after concluding that talks with hamas are "at a dead end". the israeli's say the demands imposed by the hamas leader yahya sinwar were intende to sabotage the american—led diplomacy "as part of a wider effort to inflame the war over ramadan". tonight, the israelis said their intelligence confirmed that they did kill the group's deputy commander marwan issa in an air strike earlier this month. in washington, there were meetings today between the us defence secretary, lloyd austin,
8:36 pm
and his israeli counterpart, yoav gallant. secretary austin repeated the administrations concerns that the number of civilian casualties is too high — and their opposition to an expanded assault within rafah. the israeli government maintains the biden adminstration has emboldened hamas by allowing the security council resolution to pass. since last night, the group has returned to its earlier, maximalist demands — a permanenent ceasefire and a full withdrawal of israeli troops before any negotiation over hostages. the demands set out in the resolution is seemingly being ignored by both side. 0vernight rafah was bombed again by israeli warplanes while fierce gun battles raged around the hospitals in the cities of khan younis and gaza city. yolande knell reports from jerusalem. no sign of a ceasefire here. these homes hit by israeli air strikes on rafah in the very south of gaza overnight. and at the local hospital,
8:37 pm
this lady lists her losses. 16 members of herfamily, many small children. "i don't have anyone left," she says. and there's despair at the world's reaction. "what can the security council do," this man asks? "nobody listens to them. there's massacre after massacre." meanwhile, further north, battles still rage between hamas fighters and israeli forces in and around gaza's biggest hospital. and israeli warplanes hit what they say are hamas targets after rockets were earlier fired at israeli towns. in many ways, a halt in fighting looks as far off as ever. just hours after the un security council passed its ceasefire resolution, hamas told mediators that it wasn't accepting their latest truce proposal. israel says its demands are delusional. many israelis also feel let down by international diplomacy.
8:38 pm
last night, some relatives of the dozens of israeli hostages still held captive by hamas gathered again to plead for their release. it can't be a ceasefire without bringing them home. it's not possible. as the threat of famine looms in gaza, international airdrops of aid are stepping up. but locals say such efforts could be too little, too late. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. with me in the studio tonight is the head of the palestinian mission to the uk, husam zomlot. welcome. thank you. it would seem that both sides _ welcome. thank you. it would seem that both sides are _ welcome. thank you. it would seem that both sides are ignoring - welcome. thank you. it would seem that both sides are ignoring the - that both sides are ignoring the resolution that was passed in new york yesterday. what is the point of a resolution if it's not enforced? exactly, that's the question. but it is israel that's refused the resolution publicly, it's netanyahu that declared he will cancel his
8:39 pm
delegation to go to washington, and it is israel that has considered that to be an american sort of pushing israel under the bus, as they described it — when in fact the us, for the first time, this is the fifth attempt of the security council, was only trying to allow for a resolution to pass to represent the collective will of the international community. there was a unity there, and the security council to find an immediate cease—fire and a call for it. mil cease-fire and a call for it. all come back _ cease-fire and a call for it. all come back to _ cease—fire and a call for it. all come back to the part that both sides play in this resolution— but the white house national security spokesperson said last night that this is a nonbinding resolution, there is no impact at all on israel's ability to continue to go after hamas. how do you interpret the un security council resolution, is it legally binding or not? according to my knowledge, all security council resolutions are binding, all of them. they become

licence of shipping arms is seized. but hezbollah is firing on israel, the united states will not impose an embargo on us supplies to israel. that's the issue, the us supplies israel of weapons. israel is the occupier, the aggressor, the procedure, and is now genocidal. not only genocidal according to us, but also according to the highest court of the globe — the international court ofjustice — and just yesterday, thank you in came up with a damning report that israel has crossed the threshold of genocide. i'm sure you are following the report. i'm sure you are following the re ort. �* , , , report. it's been denied by the israelis but _ report. it's been denied by the israelis but i _ report. it's been denied by the israelis but i saw _ report. it's been denied by the israelis but i saw her - report. it's been denied by the israelis but i saw her report. i report. it's been denied by the l israelis but i saw her report. the israelis but i saw her report. the israelis can _ israelis but i saw her report. the israelis can deny _ israelis but i saw her report. tia: israelis can deny whatever, but starving 2.3 million people the last couple of weeks, 27 palestinians

8:43 pm
weeks to take part in the burial of my uncle, the brother of my father. and i was horrified to listen to the accounts. literally the israeli army came to their home recently, kick them out of their homes and turned their home into an interrogation centre. and they were displaced 3—4 times down the line, and until now they are unable to go back. what you see on your tv sets is nothing in comparison with what is actually happening in gaza. this is indescribable in words — israel has decided to annihilate an entire nation, exterminate the people. we should not discuss israel, but you and the international community, we should discuss the responsibilities of the parties. i’m should discuss the responsibilities of the parties-_ of the parties. i'm sorry for what ha--ened of the parties. i'm sorry for what happened to _ of the parties. i'm sorry for what happened to your— of the parties. i'm sorry for what happened to your family, - of the parties. i'm sorry for what happened to your family, but. of the parties. i'm sorry for what happened to your family, but i i of the parties. i'm sorry for what - happened to your family, but i must discuss hamas's role in this, as well. the resolution puts an onus on them, i understand you don't speak for hamas, but obviously their decisions have a bearing on the palestinian people in both gaza and
8:44 pm
the west bank, so their decisions do impact the palestinian authority. what will be the problem with making the first move, a gesture to start releasing hostages? wouldn't that show good faith priscilla that happened. it didn't happen, there has to be a cycle, they are holding women and elderly hostages here. what if they made a first gesture and released some of them as a active good will?— active good will? there was a formula agreed _ active good will? there was a formula agreed on _ active good will? there was a formula agreed on because . active good will? there was a - formula agreed on because there are countries that are involved in the negotiations, qatar, egyptand countries that are involved in the negotiations, qatar, egypt and the us, by the way, and they were agreed formulas on that, on how such exchanges. and i may have to remind you, christian, and your viewers that israel has 7000 hostages, they've taken them from gaza and the west bank, 4000 from the west bank since october 7th, and we must talk about the west bank because ijust returned from there, and what i saw there was horrific by the way, it
8:45 pm
was horrific! settler terrorism, killing at will, arresting at will. the problem for you and the wider palestinian authority is that it is hamas that is digging in and demanding their release, their credibility is going up and the palestinian authority's credibility is and out, zero, in gaza.- palestinian authority's credibility is and out, zero, in gaza. that's of the message _ is and out, zero, in gaza. that's of the message the _ is and out, zero, in gaza. that's of. the message the israeli government has been wanting to continue the division between palestinians and feeding it, that is netanyahu's plan to block any two state solution, and the us is just to block any two state solution, and the us isjust reaping the the us is just reaping the results of all that policy they've supported all over the years. and that's why all over the years. and that's why all the negotiations in the past did not manage to release all of our prisoners. and what is the message now, what is exactly the message? there's no trust. the
8:46 pm
now, what is exactly the message? there's no trust.— there's no trust. the messages diloma there's no trust. the messages diploma to _ there's no trust. the messages diploma to see _ there's no trust. the messages diploma to see doesn't - there's no trust. the messages diploma to see doesn't work . there's no trust. the messages - diploma to see doesn't work because israel takes negotiations as to cats —— the messages diplomacy doesn't work. that's what they are doing in delhi right now, the negotiation is about compromise, and i believe the international community has provided such a compromise for all parties, and i believe israel has stuck its heels in the ground and they are not interested in the hostages — the last few months, they've killed some of their own hostages, they are only interested in using this moment to finish off what they started 76 years ago, which is the displacement and replacement of an entire nation, christian. this is a clear exercise of ethnic cleansing. do i need to convince you, do we have the numbers here? this is a government that is ideologically bent on ending the so—called palestinian people. this is a moment when we regain — by the way, they will be unable to do so,
8:47 pm
they've been at it for 76 years and failed, and will continue to fail because we are a vivid nation, historic and ancient. we know ourselves, we will continue to struggle for our rights and continue educating our children and embracing... we have more than 17,000 palestinian orphans, we will have to embrace them, teach them with love and keep them going on thatjourney with love and keep them going on that journey until we with love and keep them going on thatjourney until we get to the finish line of a liberated sovereign state of palestine and all right to go back to our homes. the state of palestine and all right to go back to our homes. the legacy of this is another _ go back to our homes. the legacy of this is another conversation - go back to our homes. the legacy of this is another conversation we - go back to our homes. the legacy of| this is another conversation we must resume some of the time because we are out of time. thank you very much for coming in. we will pause for a quick break — the other side of that will get the israeli reaction to todays events. you are watching bbc news.
8:48 pm
welcome back. we are going to stick with developments in the middle east. as i mentioned earlier, we've had reports tonight that israel has withdrawn its team from the ceasefire talks in qatar.
8:49 pm
0ne senior israeli official said the discussions have hit a "dead end". with us to give the israeli perspective is yaakov katz, who is the former editor of the jersusalem post, and is the current senior columnist of the paper. thank you for being with us this evening. does the israeli government intend to abide by this un security council resolution? i intend to abide by this un security council resolution?— council resolution? i think that israel would _ council resolution? i think that israel would appreciate - council resolution? i think that israel would appreciate if - council resolution? i think that israel would appreciate if the l israel would appreciate if the hostages were released, as was also mentioned in the un security council resolution. if that were to happen, then israel would, i have no doubt, and act a cease—fire as has been the framework of those talks that were taking place in doha. but let's not forget while the ambassador of the palestinian authority claims that israel does not want a deal and just wants to kill its own hostages, as he just told you, what's really happening is that israel has said it's willing to agree to a 6—7 week cease—fire in exchange for getting
8:50 pm
back only 40 of the 134 people who are still being held by hamas in gaza. �* ., , are still being held by hamas in gaza. ., , 4' ., gaza. but of course you'll know the security council _ gaza. but of course you'll know the security council resolution - gaza. but of course you'll know the | security council resolution demands a cease—fire through ramadan — last night, more bombs in rafah, more gunfights around the main hospitals in gaza. that doesn't to me suggest the israeli government is taking its responsibilities under this security council resolution seriously. israel's response ability as i see is to continue to provide security of for its own people and to continue to defend its borders. what we saw on october 7th when hamas committed that atrocious and barbaric massacre and when abducted over 250 israelis and took them into the gaza strip 134 are still being held there, israel is doing what's needed to get back its people and to prevent hamas from being able to continue to rule the gaza strip. that is the imperative that israel has taken upon itself. and it's what any country would do in the world.
8:51 pm
so do you think the resolution undermines the negotiations? israel's response ability is first and foremost to defend its own people. 50 and foremost to defend its own ”eole. ., y” and foremost to defend its own ”eole. ., “ people. so do you think the resolution _ people. so do you think the resolution then, _ people. so do you think the resolution then, do - people. so do you think the resolution then, do you - people. so do you think the l resolution then, do you agree with prime minister netanyahu that it actually has undermined the negotiations that have come to an end tonight in doha?— negotiations that have come to an end tonight in doha? christian, when ou listen end tonight in doha? christian, when you listen to — end tonight in doha? christian, when you listen to the _ end tonight in doha? christian, when you listen to the hamas _ end tonight in doha? christian, when you listen to the hamas statement i you listen to the hamas statement that came out in response to the un security council resolution yesterday, what did they say? they said, "we celebrate this resolution." that should tell us the whole story, when hamas, a terrorist organisation that decapitates children, that murders and rapes women, that kidnapped children and takes people hostages — two will boys still being held in gaza — and they celebrate what happens at the un, that tells us the whole story of what's happening at the united nations, and sadly the un is not an institution that is carrying and putting at the priority the security
8:52 pm
of the state of israel. that is up to israel itself to have to take care of. , ., , , care of. the tensions between prime minister netanyahu _ care of. the tensions between prime minister netanyahu and _ care of. the tensions between prime minister netanyahu and american i minister netanyahu and american presidents is nothing new, but what's going on right now between him and joe biden feels like wholly uncharted territory. does that alarm anyone in israel?— anyone in israel? 100% alarms us because the _ anyone in israel? 10096 alarms us because the alliance _ anyone in israel? 10096 alarms us because the alliance and - because the alliance and relationship between israel and the united states is one of, i would venture to say existential importance. israeland venture to say existential importance. israel and the us have very close relations and ties, and israel is very dependent on the united states and its continued supply of weaponry, of aircraft, of military aid to the state of israel, thatis military aid to the state of israel, that is all very important, as well as the diplomatic relationship and cover that the us mostly provides israel at places like the un security council, unfortunately it didn't veto that unfair... that de-ends didn't veto that unfair... that depends on _
8:53 pm
didn't veto that unfair... that depends on your _ didn't veto that unfair... that depends on your shared - didn't veto that unfair... that depends on your shared values and common positions, and there isn't a common positions, and there isn't a common positions, and there isn't a common position on this work right now, indeed there aren't shared values. and that ultimately undermines the relationship, and that's... is that not driven by prime minister netanyahu? t that's. .. is that not driven by prime minister netanyahu? i wouldn't no so far as prime minister netanyahu? i wouldn't go so far as to — prime minister netanyahu? i wouldn't go so far as to say _ prime minister netanyahu? i wouldn't go so far as to say these _ prime minister netanyahu? i wouldn't go so far as to say these are - prime minister netanyahu? i wouldn't go so far as to say these are not - go so far as to say these are not the same values, but yes, there are disagreements between friends. i think the us and israel both share the same values and objectives of eliminating hamas and removing it from power. the americans and british understand this, of course the israelis understand it, that for the israelis understand it, that for the future of israel's security and the future of israel's security and the future of the stability of the middle east, if any of us want a two state solution and for there to be peace one day between israel and the palestinians, hamas has to be removed. we can have differences and disagreements in the details of exactly how that should be carried out, whether they should go into rafah and how they should operate in
8:54 pm
rafah and how they should operate in rafah — the question and overall objective is still one that i think israel shares with all of its friends around the world, and that is that hamas has to be removed. the perception is that this is a left right issue in washington, and that it's the democrats who have a very different relationship with israel down the republicans. but i'll point you to an interview donald trump did with that it netanyahu paper that was founded by sheldon adelson. he said, "you have to finish your war, and have to say israel must be careful because they are losing a lot of the world." if donald trump is saying that, there's a problem, isn't there?— isn't there? israel is without a doubt facing _ isn't there? israel is without a doubt facing an _ isn't there? israel is without a doubt facing an uphill- isn't there? israel is without a doubt facing an uphill battle, l isn't there? israel is without a i doubt facing an uphill battle, and i think unfortunately there are certain pockets of this world of people who don't understand what's happening here and hold israel to a double standard the likes of which they would never evaluate orjudge themselves. let's remember the us and british campaigned against isis backin
8:55 pm
and british campaigned against isis back in mosul in 2017 — it took nine months, israel has been fighting an enemy force in gaza for less than six months that is basically 5—6 times the size of what you and britain were frightened and most solbakken 2017 for nine months. this is a war that takes time, and israel in the united states, again i think they share the same objectives but there will be disagreements in the way we look at exactly how to continue this war —— mosul back in 2017. that's what friends are for, to share disagreements, but for israel to ultimately have to make a decision — and by the way, this is in the first time that israel has been told by the war that —— the world that you need to stop, and israel has done that. let me just remind the viewers that israel didn't do in 1981 take out iraq's nuclear reactor, the world would look a lot different.— look a lot different. sorry to cut ou look a lot different. sorry to cut you short. _ look a lot different. sorry to cut you short. we — look a lot different. sorry to cut you short, we are _ look a lot different. sorry to cut you short, we are out _ look a lot different. sorry to cut you short, we are out of- look a lot different. sorry to cut
8:56 pm
you short, we are out of time, i look a lot different. sorry to cut i you short, we are out of time, thank you short, we are out of time, thank you for coming on the programme. panel coming up, we'll be right back. hello. the barometer�*s falling, with heavy weather expected over the next few days. strong winds around some coastal areas, but inland, too. and on top of that, big shower clouds with downpours, hail and thunder. now, the satellite picture looks quite turbulent already, all these cloud patterns swirling around notjust the uk, but much of western and central europe. a big dip in thejet stream as well has allowed that colder air to filter in from the north as well. and the colder air will be responsible for generating some of these big shower clouds given the strength of that sunshine. it's that temperature contrast that creates all this turbulent weather. now, through the early hours, we'll see a weather front moving northwards across the uk. it has been quite wet already in some areas. notice that by the end of the night, it even turns quite wintry there across the scottish hills. and temporarily, some dry weather there across central parts of the uk.
8:57 pm
very quickly, we'll see strengthening south—westerlies and the heavy showers will be sweeping into south—western england, into wales, particularly wet in northern ireland. we could see up to 30—40 millimetres of rain, perhaps even more than that in some areas. but those winds really will be very noticeable, pushing in those big shower clouds, cumulonimbus clouds, bringing the downpours, with the hail and at times thunder. and a chilly day, temperatures in some areas not making double figures. then, into thursday, if anything, the winds will strengthen further. in fact, this area of low pressure has been named by the spanish met service as storm nelson. severe gales for a time possible on the coasts, very windy inland, too, frequent showers across the country. a really turbulent day with those dramatic cloud scapes. and, again, on the chilly side, with those strong winds and particularly in those showers. look at good friday — i think the winds will be a little lighter, but still quite breezy on this day. and also showers expected,
8:58 pm
particularly across some western areas. and then, as we head into the easter weekend, we start to see some changes. the air actually starts to come in from the south, and that means that the atmosphere will warm up at least somewhat, so the temperatures will rise. we're possibly talking about the mid—teens across southern parts of the uk, about 12 celsius expected in belfast. but, really, it is looking like a mixed bag until then. bye— bye.
