parts of the u.n. support -- in the story you talked about with the washington post -- it's been troubling for many of us because that assistance that we try to increase, and we need to do more, is not getting to the palestinian people and children that are looking at potential food shortages that are just intolerable. host: i want to ask you about the southern border. as you know, the senate dismissed the articles of impeachment against secretary mayorkas but there is still quite a lot of focus on the southern border, what president biden can be doing. can you tell me what you think the president can do to address the border crisis absent action by congress? guest: the border has been a challenge not only for this administration but you can go back 20 years. we need to pass comprehensive immigration reform and we need to improve our border integrity. the legislation that was negotiated between the senate over the last five months, they have gone a long way to do both of those things. unfortunately, my

the u.n.'s office of internal oversight and catherine colonna have now provided their interim reports to the u.n. secretary general. we want to hear from unrwa detailed undertakings about the changes in personnel and policy. we are talking consistently to allies about how to conclude all of that, because i don't disagree that unrwa, properly functioning, does have a vital role to play in providing aid and services in gaza. but it is right that we now reflect on the reports on governance that have been provided, and work that through with allies. that is what we are doing. our position is consistent with, as i said, many of our closest allies. cat smith: just finally, are we expecting a decision in days or months? the prime minister: i would not like to speculate. we are all keen to get more aid in as quickly as possible, and that is what we are doing; but given the appalling allegations, it is right that those are addressed seriously. sir bernard jenkin: there is a very brief follow-up on gaza
