Starmer cites stabalised economy in winter fuel U-turn

Sir Keir Starmer says a stabilised economy has allowed the government to reinstate most winter fuel payments.

Nine million pensioners in England and Wales will now receive support this winter after a £1.25bn U-turn.

The Prime Minister denied the move was a response to backlash, insisting it followed a reassessment of the country’s financial position.

ITV News meets Amal, a severely malnourished girl in Gaza

Amal, a 7-year-old girl, is wasting away after months with only the bare minimum of food. Her parents took her to the Nasser hospital in Gaza hoping doctors could help, but an aid blockade has left them with few supplies. There is water to hydrate her, but no food formula or medicines to give her back some strength. Dr Ahmad Al-Farra, the head of paediatrics at Nasser Hospital, says Amal is "one of the most serious cases in our nutrition department", having lost nearly 50% of her weight. At this hospital alone more than sixty children have died due to starvation. ITV News reports from the hospital in southern Gaza, where her father admits he is "deeply afraid of losing her", as her condition deteriorates. Report by Brooksl.
