hello, i'm samantha simmonds. we start with the latest on the israel gaza war. the head of the us central intelligence agency, william burns, is in cairo to help try to mediate a ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. hamas has confirmed that its delegation will travel to cairo today to resume talks. negotiators have arrived in egypt for the talks. foreign mediators have been waiting for a response from the group to an israeli proposal to halt the fighting for a0 days and to exchange hostages for palestinian prisoners. it comes amid us media reports that israel has given hamas a week to agree to the current proposal or it will begin its long—threatened offensive in gaza's southernmost city, rafah. israel insists that is necessary to defeat hamas�*s remaining fighters. but there has been widespread international concern over the fate of the more than one—million

palestinians sheltering there. our correspondent, anna foster is injerusalem. i asked her about increasing pressure on hamas to reach a deal. yeah. we're at the same stage samantha where an israeli deal has been put on the table. it was described at the start of the week by the us secretary of state, antony blinken, as extraordinarily generous. and it seems to be that in this latest iteration of the deal, there had been some movement in terms of potentially agreeing to talk about a permanent ceasefire. now, from israel's point of view, of course, its priority at the moment is trying to ensure the release of all the remaining hostages that are being held in gaza. one of hamas�*s key priorities is to try and get some sort of agreement towards a permanent ceasefire rather than a temporary one. so while it seems that the two sides are moving closer together, there is still a disconnect, i think, on that point. and i think also on the number of hostages to be released. now, originally we were told the number that was being talked

about was around 40, then the briefings were that that had come down to around 33. these are people who are in what's considered the humanitarian category — women, the elderly, and people who are suffering from particular medical conditions. of course, the question is how many of those hostages hamas actually has access to in gaza and how many of them are still alive? equally, the number of palestinian prisoners who would be freed from israeli jails, that number sounds like it's still being discussed as well. so while these proposals are on the table, while they were being welcomed at the start of the week as a step closer, the fact that the talks are going on is positive. i think the fact that william burns, the head of the cia, is in cairo again, is potentially a positive move because he, i think, is there to try and facilitate and iron out those last few details. but it's worth saying we've been in the last few months at this point before when when things are looking good, when the sides are looking like they might agree and things crumble at the last minute. so that hope is always, i think, always a cautious hope rather

than than one without sort of thinking about what could happen and how close things can get before they fall at the final hurdle. and anna, what more can you tell us about these us media reports that israel has given hamas a week to agree to a proposal or it will begin its long threatened offensive in rafah? long threatened is absolutely right. the president, benjamin netanyahu, has been talking about the rafah offensive for months now. but even though we heard in the media several weeks ago that it had a date attached, that date has never been publicly confirmed. and there are questions really about whether or not that is a date or whether, of course, this continues to be part of israel's leverage with the international community when it comes to actually reaching a deal. what we know is that the us government, in particular israel's biggest military and diplomatic partner, is not wholly supportive of that rafah offensive. israel says it's essential if they're going to remove the last of hamas from gaza. but the us points to the fact that there are still around 1.4 million displaced

people in rafah. in terms of timings, could it be a week? well, there are two things that need to happen. they need to move a large number of those people out of the way back further north in the strip before they can start an offensive. and the idf, the israel defense forces, would also need to move their brigades back into position inside gaza for another ground offensive. so while we hear these reports of timings, i think until it actually starts, it's always incredibly hard to tell. i am joined by mehran kamrava, who is a professor of government, georgetown university in qatar. thanks for being with us. as anna says, we've been here before several times in the past few months when it looks like a negotiation could reach a breakthrough. what is your sense of where they are now and how hopeful all parties are that it could lead to some conclusion here? the correspondence is absolutely right. we've been here before, but it appears that this time the situation is different. hamas is

desperate for a ceasefire because of the inordinate number of palestinians who have been killed. benjamin netanyahu was under tremendous pressure to bring the hostages home, and the americans are under pressure because of the protests in the united states and the democratic base appears to be abandoning president biden. so everyone at this point would like to see tangible progress in the negotiations.— see tangible progress in the neuotiations. ,, ,, . ., , ., negotiations. the us secretary of state sa s negotiations. the us secretary of state says accepting _ negotiations. the us secretary of state says accepting a _ negotiations. the us secretary of state says accepting a deal - negotiations. the us secretary of state says accepting a deal with l state says accepting a deal with israel should be a no—brainerfor hamas and says the motivations of hamas remain elusive. what do you think they are?— hamas remain elusive. what do you think they are? well, hamas, at this oint, ou think they are? well, hamas, at this point. you just _ think they are? well, hamas, at this point, you just wants _ think they are? well, hamas, at this point, you just wants to _ think they are? well, hamas, at this point, you just wants to survive. - point, you just wants to survive. once a withdrawal of israeli troops from the gaza strip —— it once. in some sort of concession in terms of the day after. the destruction of

qatari government have over them? i think the influence was considerable at the beginning of the conflict. october, november, but as the number of palestinian deaths mounts, i think that influence has declined significantly. because the qataris don't have much leveraged over hamas for the number of hostages it has, and now that the qataris and americans have agreed to let hamas leave doha, that leverages considerably less today than it was in the months before.— in the months before. hamas, as you sa , once in the months before. hamas, as you say. once to — in the months before. hamas, as you say, once to survive _ in the months before. hamas, as you say, once to survive above _ in the months before. hamas, as you say, once to survive above all - in the months before. hamas, as you say, once to survive above all else, l say, once to survive above all else, and we know that israel since the attack on october the 7th in which more than 1200 people were killed, they have vowed to wipe them out. so where does the two things sit? hamas are refusing to go and refusing to

lay down their arms and withdraw their calls for the destruction of israel and israel says for future security, hamas has to go? so what does it mean for the future of gaza? that's a really good question and one to which there isn't a clear answer. we are back to the future in many ways. where we started, except that more than 311,000 palestinians have died and gaza has become practically unlivable. what is really clear is that hamas cannot survive in its present form. once the dust has settled, hamas needs to answer to the palestinians for the destruction that it has brought to their lives, so i think in its present form, the hamas leadership has an awful lot to answer for after the conflict ends.— has an awful lot to answer for after the conflict ends. thank you so much for “oininu the conflict ends. thank you so much forjoining us- _

uk prime minister rishi sunak has insisted the conservatives have "everything to fight for" — despite the party losing nearly half the seats contested in local elections in england. with results expected in several mayoral races today, the tories will be hoping that andy street can cling on as mayor in the west midlands. having already won key councils and a decisive by—election, labour's expected to hold on to most of the regional mayors up for grabs. our political correspondent, harry farley, has the story. not many smiles around for the conservatives. the party is set for its worst local elections result in years. one result did bring some cheerfor rishi sunak. you are re—elected mayor of teesside. ben houchen winning the tees valley mayor. people knew that they couldn't be taken for granted. they knew that it was ben and the conservatives that delivered for them and they stuck with you in this election. and i know that come the general election, they're going to stick with us too.

the conservatives hope to win the west midlands mayoral race when the results are out later today. another possible ray of hope in an otherwise bleak picture. but for now at least, rishi sunak looks to have avoided the major rebellion he feared from his own mps. and three miles from the prime minister's house in yorkshire, look who showed up. sir keir starmer here celebrating a labour mayor in york and north yorkshire, where parts of the county are usually solidly tory. to the villages and the towns of north yorkshire, people have voted for change. they voted for labour. webb, christopher paul, commonly known as chris, labour party, 10,825. there was a red pattern across this patchwork of elections in the parliamentary seat of blackpool south, a massive 26% swing to labour in the by election. but for councils, it wasn't

the size of labour's win as much as where they won. from places with big brexit votes, like hartlepool, to the military town of aldershot and rushmoor and the south coast where they won ader for the first time. it wasn't all good news for sir keir starmer. in oldham, independent candidates opposed to labour's stance on gaza meant they lost control of the council. the liberal democrats had big gains to win dorset and tunbridge wells. and picked up seats in other conservative—facing towns in the south, like winchester. let's make this conservative government history. where ed davey tried to argue the tories were like dinosaurs. this is disaster for the conservatives and in so many parts of the country, it'll be conservative mps worried about liberal democrats.

people know that if you want to get rid of this awful conservative government and make them history, they should vote liberal democrat. back at the blackpool south by election, just 117 votes separated second place conservatives and third place reform uk, the successor to the brexit party. we're becoming the real opposition to the labour party in the north, in the midlands, in wales. we're on the way up and it's quite clear that the tories are on the way down. the greens also gained seats, particularly in places like bristol, which they are targeting come a general election. they recognised the choice they have in bristol is between a likely labour government, where it is 100% labour and where keir starmer can continue to u—turn on policies every few weeks or a labour government with a handful of greens to hold them account. for the conservatives,

this was an equal record low for them on their share of the vote and for rishi sunak there are obvious questions about what he can do to turn their fortunes around. and for labour, the results were good. but if sir keir starmer wants to come back here after a general election with a majority of seats, it's not yet clear if they were good enough. there are more results to count today, including and for labour, the results were good. there are more results to count today, including the mayors of london, greater manchester and the west midlands. harry farley, bbc news. let's go to birmingham — and my colleague rajini vaidyanathan. good to see you. when do we expect a result? indie good to see you. when do we expect a result? ~ ., good to see you. when do we expect a result? ~ . , . , result? we are expecting the result ofthe result? we are expecting the result of the mayoral _ result? we are expecting the result of the mayoral contest _ result? we are expecting the result of the mayoral contest in _ result? we are expecting the result of the mayoral contest in the - result? we are expecting the result of the mayoral contest in the westl of the mayoral contest in the west midlands some this afternoon. we don't know when exactly, but what we don't know when exactly, but what we do know is that it could be a really close result. the incumbent mayor, the conservative, andy street, is hoping for a third term in the job,

and throughout the campaign, richard parker of labour has been pushing really hard for a long time and the labour party was hopeful it might take this seat from the conservatives. of course, we don't know what the result will be until the counting behind me has concluded but we do know it's going to be very close, but some labour sources have indicated that they may think they might be closer than they think and may even lose to the conservatives partly because as harry was mentioning in his report of sir keir starmer�*s position when it comes to the ongoing conflict in gaza, and thatis the ongoing conflict in gaza, and that is also because one of the independent candidates for the mayor here has been very, very firm in his position on the war in gaza, using that as his platform and there are some who believe he could take votes away from the labour party and in the end that could leave andy street as the winner but it's worth pointing out that when it comes to

the mayoral races it's also about figurehead and personality and andy street has been a big face in the west midlands and one that has been quite popular. in many ways the anti—politician and was the head of john lewis before he took over as the mayor here but to discuss all of this in a bit more detail i am joined by the political editor of the west midlands, a very appropriate name for the day we are on, rob mayor. let's talk about the news overnight, a bit of controversy with labour having to apologise for a sauce making some comments about the way they think the vote will go. it was you that spoke to the labour source, so can you explain exactly what happened with that? this was the sto i what happened with that? this was the story i broke _ what happened with that? this was the story i broke yesterday - what happened with that? this was | the story i broke yesterday morning on labour_ the story i broke yesterday morning on labour sources were telling us early— on labour sources were telling us early yesterday that they thought they had lost this contest and putting — they had lost this contest and putting the blame firmly on the party— putting the blame firmly on the party position on gaza and there was

hope and success for the conservative party after a night of results which were not so favourable across many parts of the uk. vietnam has broken more than 100 temperature records in april, according to official data, as a deadly heatwave scorches south and southeast asia. vietnam saw three waves of high temperatures in april, with the mercury peaking at 44 degrees celsius in two towns earlier this week. in all, 102 weather stations saw record highs in april, as northern and central vietnam bore the brunt of the heatwaves. extreme heat has blasted asia from india to the philippines in recent weeks, triggering heatstroke deaths, school closures and desperate prayers for cooling rain. scientists have long warned that human—induced climate change will produce more frequent, longer and intense heatwaves. to mexico next. three bodies have been found during a search for two australians and an american who went missing last week during a surfing trip. australian brothers jake and callum robinson

and their american friend jack carter were on vacation near the coastal city of ensenada in the northwestern state of baha california when they failed to turn up at the planned accomodation. the bodies have not yet been identified.( alison piotrowski is correspondent for nine news australia, she explained the timeline leading up to them going missing. jake, callum and their friend jack, the american national, they had not been seen since april 27. so we're coming up to seven days, i think, since they have been heard from. they were on a boys' trip. jake had travelled over to see callum. callum, his australian brother, actually lives in san diego, so they had gone to coachella together. they were going to celebrate callum's birthday. so they came down the coast, down baha's coastline to chase waves because these guys are surfers and they were looking for a big birthday, celebratory holiday, but they disappeared off the grid.

they failed to show up to an airbnb in rosarito, which is right up towards tijuana, so right up near that us—mexico border. and after they failed to show up there, their mother, deborah, had that gut instinct that something was wrong. so she posted on social media. she took to facebook groups on the baha coast and said, "have you seen my sons?" they've been missing." and that sparked an enormous response from mexican officials as this post went viral. and now we are here today in the situation where they have found three bodies in the search area where they have been looking at. i travelled out there today with a police escort because that's what you need when you're going through that area. we will take you live to the east midlands where the labour party leader sir keir starmer has arrived to congratulate the newly elected

mayor, claire ward. she won the first elected mayoral race with a majority of more than 50,000 votes over the tory ben bradley who also sits as an mp for mansfield and his leader of nottinghamshire county council, so curse —— sir keir starmer is there to congratulate her and there is a rally as you can see with the supporters behind him. these are obviously after thursday's local elections and mayoral elections which took place in many parts of the country and we know that labour won councils in reading, thurrock, hartlepool and rushmore in hampshire with the conservatives losing ten councils and more than 400 councillors and labour also won the blackpool south by—election, taking the seat from the tories with a 26% swing but this is in the east midlands where keir starmer is there to congratulate labour's claire ward becoming the region's first elected mayor with a majority of more than 50,000 votes. let's listen in.

claire and the whole team here, this is a fantastic victory, a really important victory. you've fought for this with a very, very positive campaign. i came here myself to campaign. i came here myself to campaign with you. i was struck by the positivity of the case you are making. and you were rewarded with the trust and confidence of the voters in the east midlands. a really, really important area for us. the underlying constituencies, the voters across the whole of the east midlands came out and voted labour, and that is a very significant moment in our history. and when the history books are written about this period of our political history in the united kingdom, this will be part of that story. the day you were able to persuade people that we are a changed labour party with a positive plan to take to the country, and they can safely put their vote

against the labour cross. a very, very significant and important victory that vindicates the hard work of the last few years, changing the labour party, country first, party second, and being clear about the positive case that we make as we go forward. i think the message here is very, very clear, and i think across the east midlands there has been a sending off that message to the government which is, we are fed up the government which is, we are fed up with your division, with the chaos, with your failure. up with your division, with the chaos, with yourfailure. 14 up with your division, with the chaos, with your failure. 14 years. and i'm sorry, i don't care which political party you support, if you leave your country in a worse state than when you found it 14 years later, you do not deserve to be in government for a moment longer. so this was a vote for claire, it was a vote for the east midlands, it

was a vote for the east midlands, it was a vote for the country, it was a vote for change and it is now upon us to deliver that change to each of those people that put their faith in us in the vote here in the east midlands, and we will do so with a positive case for the country. we will pick up the nhs and put it back on its feet and give it a future. we will make sure that our streets are safe for all of our communities and our businesses. we will make sure we are building houses that people can afford to live in. i

here. a fantastic, really important victory. thank you so much. i will give you this back. the labour leader there congratulating their new mayor, claire ward, who has become the first elected mayor in the region with a majority of more than 50,000 votes over the tory, ben bradley who also sits as an mp for mansfield, the leader of nottinghamshire county council. one of the 107 councils that held elections on thursday under and to declare their results as a result on friday night and the conservatives suffered a net loss of 371 councillors as the party lost control of ten councils. labour won control of ten councils. labour won control of ten councils. labour won control of eight councils and saw a net gain of 204 seats with the lib dems gaining 92 seats and the green party 58. the conservatives lost

control of gloucester council, and we heard sir keir starmer there celebrating their win saying it shows the labour party is changed and all the work of the past two years has paid off. let's listening where sir keir starmer is giving an interview now. tram where sir keir starmer is giving an interview now.— where sir keir starmer is giving an interview now. two terms of delivery behind him, — interview now. two terms of delivery behind him, and _ interview now. two terms of delivery behind him, and i'm _ interview now. two terms of delivery behind him, and i'm confident - interview now. two terms of delivery behind him, and i'm confident he - interview now. two terms of delivery| behind him, and i'm confident he has another term of delivery in front of him. but, look, if you look across the country, i'm standing here in the country, i'm standing here in the east midlands where we have won a significant victory in the mayoralty. but that is the pattern across the country. we've been winning in blackpool in a by—election with a 26% swing. we won in york and north yorkshire, true blue tory territory, and here in the east midlands where there are many constituencies that matter hugely in that general election, so all of this is done with a purpose. i want a labour government to serve our country. this is effectively the last stop on the journey to the general election, and i'm really

pleased that we've been able to show we are making progress, we've earned the trust and confidence of voters, and we are making progress towards that general election. so, a very good set of results for us. you've not one councillors _ good set of results for us. you've not one councillors or _ good set of results for us. you've not one councillors or mayors - not one councillors or mayors everywhere you wanted to. how damaging is that your prospects of becoming prime minister this year? we have one significantly in all places across the country whether thatis places across the country whether that is a by—election, mayoralty, councils, and of course the police and crime commissioners. in some places we didn't get all the votes that we wanted and of course we will fight to get those boats back, but if you look at the overarching trajectory on the purpose, the purposeis trajectory on the purpose, the purpose is to serve our country and this is the last stop before the general election and we've made significant and real progress every where we needed to do so, so i'm very pleased with that. i where we needed to do so, so i'm very pleased with that.— very pleased with that. i was s-ueakin very pleased with that. i was speaking with _ very pleased with that. i was speaking with your _ very pleased with that. i wasj speaking with your victorious very pleased with that. i was - speaking with your victorious east midlands candidate claire ward yesterday and she said she would put

the region first, regardless of who is in number ten. given that in the past we've seen conservative mayors criticised conservative governments, if you are in number ten by the end of this year, she could become a thorn in your side, couldn't she? i would expect claire ward as the east midlands mayor to absolutely put the east midlands first. that's what she should do, roll—up sleeves and fight for every single person that voted for every single person that voted for her and every single person who didn't vote for her in the east midlands. if we are able to form a labour government, that is actually a massive advantage for the east midlands because it means we will have a government under mayor able to work together, but do i expect her to fight for the east midlands, absolutely. that is what she would do and i intend to fight with her. the whole point of having an east midlands mayor is to fix the fact that the east midlands has been consistently bottom of the charter public spending per head of population for years now, can you commit now to that changing under a

labour government?— labour government? there will be a fundamental — labour government? there will be a fundamental change _ labour government? there will be a fundamental change under - labour government? there will be a fundamental change under a - labour government? there will be a fundamental change under a labour| fundamental change under a labour government because i believe in devolution, more powers, resources going to our mayors, those with skin in the game are the best decision—makers and therefore there will be a new arrangement with an incoming labour government if we are privileged enough to come into serve, where you will see much greater powers to our mayors, a much better connection between government and mayors, and working together and co—operating rather than being in conflict. that will massively benefit everybody across the east midlands, whether on not they voted for us. if they did, we thank them for us. if they did, we thank them for their vote, for us. if they did, we thank them fortheirvote, but for us. if they did, we thank them for their vote, but even if they didn't, we will serve them. thank ou. to didn't, we will serve them. thank you- to do _ didn't, we will serve them. thank you. to do expand _ didn't, we will serve them. thank you. to do expand slightly - didn't, we will serve them. thank you. to do expand slightly on - didn't, we will serve them. thank| you. to do expand slightly on how ou're you. to do expand slightly on how
