The Israeli Military has told the un that more theni Million People living in the north of gaza must relocate to the south within the next 2a hours. The United Nations says the order included those sheltered in schools, Health Centres and clinics and warned the movement could transform what is already a tragedy, into a calamitous situation. Our reporter nickjohnson has the latest. Israeli air power continues to strike the gaza strip. Buildings flattened in the blink of an eye. Entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Israel says its dropped 6,000 bombs on hamas targets in gaza over the past six days. With every fallen building, stories of human suffering. Were told this girl has lost all her immediate family. Doctors say the entire Health System here is close to breaking point. I think the whole medical sector and the Health Department maybe will collapse maybe in two or three days. I dont think that we can manage it. The hospital is full of patients. The Israeli Military has called for the entire population of Northern Gaza to relocate to the south within the next 2a hours. The un says this would involve the displacement of more than a Million People and that such an undertaking would have devastating humanitarian consequences. Israelis are still reeling from last saturdays attack by hamas. This video shows what remains of a kibbutz in Southern Israel. It was here where 75 year Old David Moshe was killed by gunmen.

Behind the politics, the people in tel aviv, a vigil for those murdered. One candle for each victim. Each day, bringing news of another life lost. Nickjohnson, bbc news. Our middle east correspondent tom bateman is injerusalem for us this morning. Tom, if you could take us through this very significant news we are hearing from israel and the un as well this morning about this 24 hour countdown to up to i Million People living in the north of gaza who must relocate. What we know about that . What we know is the first alert to this was to the United Nations, to the local staff in the gaza strip, from the Military Liaison by the israelis. They told them that everybody, of an area known as wadi gaza, i. I everybody, of an area known as wadi gaza, 1. 1 billion people, people in hospitals, the elderly, disabled and infirm, would have to move south within 2a hours to a much densely populated area. Some of that area is very barren, there are bits of desert there. This should be done within 2a hours, including all Un Facilities and other protected areas. We woke up to that news in the last couple of hours. Speaking to colleagues in gaza, rumours were circulating during the night. There was i think among palestinians from complete disbelief that this message was put out. But the last hour israel has confirmed this. 1. 1 Million People being told to move in 24 Million People being told to move in 2a hours is 40,000 people Million People being told to move in 24 hours is 40,000 people an hour, clearly completely impossible, it would break utter chaos, it would be one of the biggest forced displacement with Israeli Forces matted massed around the in history. The israelis say they are doing this for humanitarian reasons, to protect the civilian population, when fighting those into gaza at which they blame on hamas, they are trying to protect civilians. Their ambassador at the un has criticised the United Nations for saying that this order should be rescinded because the un is saying this would turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tam. Turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question that turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question that poses turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question that poses next, turn a tragedy into a calamity. Tom, the question that poses next, of the question that poses next, of course, and its one you alluded to there, is what happens after . As i understand it, the Israeli Military is not being specific about what it is not being specific about what it is will happen when that deadline passes. We is will happen when that deadline asses. ~ ~. , y. Is will happen when that deadline asses. ~ ~. ,. , passes. We know they are preparing for a ground passes. We know they are preparing for a Ground Invasion, passes. We know they are preparing for a Ground Invasion, that passes. We know they are preparing for a Ground Invasion, that was for a Ground Invasion, that was confirmed yesterday. No decision about when or whether it would actually happen, but the preparations are being made no decision was evident at that point. In terms of what is happening on the ground, we talked about that massive build up of troops around gaza. This is being taken seriously by the humanitarian agencies in gaza city and that is significant. Overnight convoys of the International Committee for the red cross, other United Nations humanitarian aid Agency Workers and some International Staff left gaza city to go self. The assumption was that that was in preparation of a Mass Movement of people. We now have the Hamas Run Interior Ministry in gaza telling people to ignore this, Calling It Psychological Warfare by Israeli Forces and say people can still find safety elsewhere. But of course its not safe in gaza city. Already this announcement is bringing an element of chaos ahead of expected Ground Invasion. Thank ou ve of expected Ground Invasion. Thank you very much. Of expected Ground Invasion. Thank you very much, tom. Lets give you an idea of the geography. Wadi is a nature reserve, this is the point that the un has been told by the Israeli Military, anyone living north of wadi gaza should move to the south of the territory. This amounts to approximately 1. 1 billion people. The same order applies to those who are in Un Facilities, i. I the same order applies to those who are in Un Facilities, 1. 1 Million People. The same order applies to those in Un Facilities, schools, hospitals and clinics. The un says it considers it impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences and has appealed for any order is rescinded to avoid what could transform what is a tragedy, in the uns words, into a calamity situation. Aid agencies at this point in time, remember there is no electricity, fuel has run out, reportedly, we have been told. And there are food and water shortages. Aid agencies say gaza is facing a dire situation with food and water quickly running out. So far, Tens Of Thousands of troops have been deployed to the border of gaza. Our defence correspondentjonathan Beale Resports on the possible challenges of a Ground Offensive. Initially caught off guard. But israel has long been preparing for the next phase of this war. Their troops call it mini gaza, a multi Million Dollar urban Warfare Centre to train for a potential Ground Assault. It even includes a labyrinth of tunnels. Hamas is believed to have built more than 1,000. The tightly packed streets of gaza favours the defender. Buildings to hide in. Intense israeli air strikes, which have already reduced many to rubble, form barriers to any invading force. Even israels overwhelming airpower will not be able to destroy an army underground. Hamas is very well prepared. They prepared the underground, booby traps all around. But professionally, i dont see how the goal, which was written by the cabinet to destroy the Military Force of the hamas, can be done without going with Ground Forces into the gaza strip. It wouldnt be the first time Israels Defence Force has entered gaza. But operations like this, the most recent in 2014, were short and limited. Veterans say this time it could prove more costly if israel is to achieve its objective of crushing hamas. That time the decision was to have containment, to deter them, to weaken them. It was not like today. Today we are facing unprecedented threat to israel itself. I mean, if we tolerate what has been done, this will be our dramatic mistake. More than 100 israeli hostages snatched by hamas and now held in gaza will make any assault more difficult. The expectation is now for action. Hundreds of thousands of reservists have dropped everything to join a camp near gazas border, and theyre ready to fight. When i heard about it, the exact second i took myself and come to here to join my troops. Where were you . In sri lanka. You were in sri lanka and you got on a Plane Straightaway . Yeah. We would love to have peace. Fortunately, thats not a possibility. And we enjoy living. So we need to fight for the right to live. The new unity government has yet to announce its next move, but its tanks and troops are ready and awaiting orders. Israel has been massing its forces on the border here with gaza. If israel is to achieve its objective of destroying hamas, it will involve a land assault. But recent history shows invasions dont always go according to plan. From vietnam to iraq and afghanistan, even the worlds most advanced militaries can get bogged down. Jonathan beale, bbc news, Southern Israel. The uk is sending Royal Navy Ships and Surveillance Aircraft to the Eastern Mediterranean in support of israel. Downing street said rishi sunak had urged his israeli counterpart to take all possible measures to protect ordinary palestinians. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent helen catt. Good morning. We have seen, havent we, certain governments pledge their support to israel but equally, attempted approach must be taken, obviously. Attempted approach must be taken, obviousl. ,. ,. ,. , obviously. Yes, and in terms of what the uk is sending obviously. Yes, and in terms of what the uk is sending in obviously.

As you have been reporting this morning, the political focus as well do seem to have shifted towards the humanitarian situation in gaza. Uk and us politicians have been clear that they stand side by side with israel and its right to defend itself, there is now this focus on the humanitarian situation. The us Secretary Of State Antony Blinken saying yesterday it was important to take every possible precaution to avoid harming civilians. A number 10 spokesperson said rishi sunak when he spoke on the phone to the israeli Prime Minister last night said that noting that hamas to has enmeshed itself in the civilian population in gaza, it was important to protect civilians. That was reflected by labour and the uk has also offered support to egypt to keep the border opened there so people are able to leave gaza on that route. Opened there so people are able to leave gaza on that route. Thank you very much. Leave gaza on that route. Thank you very much, helen.

We could all be Walking Around with a pocket full of bees, dormice and Red Squirrels soon as they all feature on a new set of coins to celebrate the reign of king charles. Every coin features an animal or plant on its tails side, to reflect the kings love of the natural world. Other images include a puffin, a leaping Atlantic Salmon and an oak leaf. Theyll be in circulation by the end of this year but, as always, coins with older designs will remain legal tender. Heres matt with a look at the weather. Good morning. That picture is definitely one which we could relate to here in salford but i wonder how the rest of the country is seeing . A bit ofa a bit of a contrast, we have seen it all week. Good morning. A bit of a stinker of a start from Northern Ireland Northern England southwards, lots of rain around. Quite warm, breezy in the north but this weekend we even out, much colderfor all this weekend we even out, much colder for all of this weekend we even out, much colderfor all of us but this weekend we even out, much colder for all of us but a good this weekend we even out, much colderfor all of us but a good deal brighter as well. This morning you can see the extent of the rain, the blue on the charts, easing in southern counties but relentless in the far north of wales, Northern England, Surface Water and minor flooding on the roads. That rain has got as far north as it will get, it will edge south during the day. A few showers around during the day and the bright conditions edging south. Sunshine breaking through parts of the midlands and southern counties for a time, lifting temperatures to between 20 and 22, it will get windier later on by the end of the afternoon, when the to the eastern side of the channel. The rain still there across part of the midlands, towards lincolnshire and the south west but further north, Northern England, north west wales, brighter this afternoon compared with the morning. Sunshine and showers for scotland and Northern Ireland, some heavy with hail in the north, and when the end of the day in the far north of scotland. Eight when the end to the day. We will lose the rain in the south east, a few showers and clearer skies. As we head into the weekend, it will feel colder. Windy on saturday, a few showers in the west but after a frosty start, plenty of sunshine to come. Roadside Recovery Vehicles will be allowed to use Red Flashing Lights instead of amber in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of them being hit as they do their work. It follows a long Running Campaign led by Sam Cockerill, whose partner was hit and killed on a motorway hard shoulder while he was helping another driver. Jayne mccubbin reports. For motorists, they are the people there in a crisis. But too often Recovery Drivers are at risk on our roads. These are the Amber Warning Lights which are supposed to keep people like ryan safe. Myjobs not that dangerous. What makes it dangerous is other motorists. They see a big truck with lights on it, its got 110 lights on this truck, and they dont Pay Attention to it at all. They dont give me room, they dont give me space. No official statistics revealed just how dangerous this job is. The Health And Safety Executive say there are several Road Recovery and rescue fatalities every year. Drivers like ryan believe their Amber Warning Lights arent warning enough when so many other vehicles also use them. The motorways are the worst. Youre lying underneath the vehicle and i can see these. The wind comes right across your face when youre lying in your back putting chains on or taking a prop off. Or theyll come past with their hand on the horn beeping, but when youre underneath a truck on a motorway and something beeps, you move quick. Or if you hear the Rumble Strips on the hard shoulder. Im a big lad, but i can move quick if i hear them Rumble Strips. And that happens . That happens a lot, yeah. These kinds of collisions are all too common. Neil stead says he is lucky to be alive after a 70 mile an hour collision on the motorway in march this year. So im just going to load the car up on the m62 on the hard shoulder. A car,drifts over, hits the car im loading and takes out my trailer. That ramp gets flung around, whacks me on the back of the leg, runs down the hard shoulder there, and the car that Hit Everything bounced all the way down the side of my van and was about 200 yards up in lane one. Your leg was pretty seriously injured . Oh, yeah, i were off work for a couple of weeks with it and its still numb, numb as a brush. No feeling at all in the bottom half of my calf. Could have died, couldnt you . Oh, yeah. And this was the second Collision Neil had been injured in in just six weeks. This was the outcome when a motorist shunted his recovery van into the breakdown he was attending. Do you feel lucky to be alive . Very. Very, very lucky, yeah. Its. Im not a person to do ifs and buts, but anything slightly different on that night and id have been stood there where that car hit and that would have been it, game over. I mean, im just going to work to get killed by somebody thats not paying attention. Thats what it is, not paying attention because theyjust ignore amber lights. Wed like to make the road safer for the drivers with red lights on the Recovery Vehicles. In 2018, Sam Cockerill and Nathan Green Sat on the bbc breakfast sofa to tell us about steve godbold. Hed been recovering nathans car on the m25 when he was hit by a lorry. Everything was slow motion at that point. We heard the vehicle and it was just everything happened that quickly that the lorry had come into the hard shoulder and hit steve. He died instantly. The driver was later convicted. Steves partner, sam, helped to launch a campaign to allow Recovery Drivers to instead use Red Flashing Lights on their vehicles. A campaign which the Department For Transport has now approved. Weve spoken to lots and lots of people. Weve got the whole Recovery Industry behind us trying to get the red lights. Ultimately, red spells danger. So i think theyre going to see a red light over an amber light. And i do believe its going to save lives. From the end of this month, Recovery Drivers can apply to use red lights with a Blanket Change coming in 2025. The lad here now, hes got amber lights on his front. Theyre not turned on, but hes got them on the front of his van. Hes just a van. The change is welcomed by drivers who believe it will save lives. You automatically see Red Flashing Lights, you think danger, you think slow down. Jayne mccubbin, bbc news. And well be speaking to sam, who you saw in that report. Thats at 8. 10. Lets take a look at todays papers. The guardian reports that the us has pledged to send more weapons to israel, in advance of an expected Ground Assault in gaza while the un warns of a looming humanitarian crisis. The daily mirror headline is royal navy on way, as a British Military task force heads to the Eastern Mediterranean. The daily mail reports that the Prime Minister rishi sunak has told Police Chiefs to get a grip on anti israel hate, as Twojewish Schools in london said they were closing to protect their pupils. And the sun shows a picture of an eight Year Old Girl called emily who was killed by hamas. The paper criticises the fa for refusing to light up wembley� s arch in israeli colours before tonights friendly against australia. Australians go to the polls this weekend, in a historic referendum on whether or not to recognise Indigenous People in their constitution and create a body that would advise governments on issues that affect their communities. The referendum was proposed as a way to try to unite the country but the campaigns have bitterly divided people, as katy watson reports. Celebrating the worlds oldest living culture. Australia is often touted as a multicultural success story. But this country is going through a historical reckoning. Reflecting on its violent, colonial past and looking towards a new future. And if theres one thing thats got to change in this country is that there are better Equality Outcomes for our people. The aim of the referendum is to empower aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people and help to narrow the inequalities on issues such as education, poverty and health. Suzanne andrews runs the Health Centres in yarrabah and knows all too well the Poor Health Outcomes in communities like hers. When you look at aboriginal communities and the conditions that theyre in, so theres a housing issue, overcrowding in the houses. When you have overcrowding in the houses, you have multiple Health Conditions thats going on in that house. How do we start to tackle all of that . And its notjust fixing the house, its fixing the individual, and its fixing the family and then the wider community. Polling suggests that the majority of indigenous australians want this proposal to pass, but aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders make up little more than 3 of australias population. Ironically, those deciding the vote and the fate of indigenous australians are outsiders once again. This is about making sure theyre actually heard. This was meant to be a chance to unite the country and bring about reconciliation. But its been a Bitter Campaign packed with misinformation. Conservative voters feel the proposal is divisive. We cant set up an apartheid regime. I think thats very wrong and unfair and its really sad. Were not racist people here. Were fair dinkum australians, we love australians, everyones equal. The proposals also exposed divisions within indigenous communities and many say the whole process has traumatised people and heightened discrimination. The voice is about Assimilating Us Into The Colonial Constitution to make us nice and neat little indigenous australians that will continue to be oppressed by the coloniser. The amount of money that is going on this referendum while our people are hungry and homeless and suicide rates are through the roof i think is. Just shows you how wrong this country is in how they think that they can fix the aboriginal problem. As Australia Heads Towards the weekend its looking like the no vote will win. With that will come much reflection about how this country values all of its people, past, present and future. Katy watson, bbc news in north queensland. Sir eltonjohn is one of the worlds best Known Music Stars, but behind the flamboyance, the hits and the sell out tours, one thing hasnt changed, his songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin. Now, after spending a lifetime avoiding the limelight, Bernie Taupin is telling his story in a new autobiography. David sillito went to meet him. Its a little bit funny this feeling inside im not one of those who can easily hide. It was written on one day, wasnt it . Yeah, i mean, it was written at breakfast one morning. Did you know, did you think to yourself, oh, ive got it there, thats great. Yes, at that particular point in time. You knew there was something in what youd written there . Yeah. I remember when rock was young me and susie had so much fun Holding Hands and skimming stones. 1972 is the beginning of a run of six number one albums in america. I dont think people realise how huge a star elton was at a particular point in time in the � 705. The shy, slightly shy, introspective elton of the late 60s, and then suddenly the showman elton appears. Did you see that in him . Was that a surprise . I mean, hes quite something on stage. Well, yeah. I think a lot of that goes back to the early days of his childhood where he had a very repressed childhood. He always says about he wasnt allowed to wear hush puppies or anything like that. It was more than hush puppies by the end. Yeah, exactly. I mean, i think that it was just a sort of, a slap in the face to his past. And you can see a longer version of that intervew with Bernie Taupin at 7. 50. Their track record is off the scale. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. A very warm welcome to bbc london,im thomas magill. Threejewish schools in barnet have announced they will close today, citing safety concerns. Among them Menorah High School for girls in dollis hill. Parents were sent a letter yesterday from the School Leaders informing them of the decision. It comes as the government announced £3 million in extra funding to protect schools, synagogues and otherJewish Community buildings. A Senior Metropolitan Police officer says there needs to be a reset of the use of stop and search, and that it traumatises communities, if carried out badly. Officers in a new Pilot Project are targeting areas where weapons cause the most harm and given training on how to treat people if they are searched. Stop and search is there to save lives. But communities tell us notjust about stop and search, but about the way we use our intrusive powers that we tend to do it to them rather than with them. Tower bridge will be closed to traffic this weekend so essential maintenance can be carried out. Engineers will be replacing four two metre long bolts, which lock the bridge when its lowered. Tfl has agreed to scrap the Congestion Charge for drivers using the diverted route over southwark bridge. Work will take place from 7. 30am tomorrow until Monday Morning.

Lets take a look at the tubes now. Now onto the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Weve had some heavy Rain Overnight last night, and today it is going to stay very unsettled, wet and blustery at times. Now the met office has a yellow Weather Warning in place for the heavy rain. Thats valid until 8 oclock tonight. Now, the progression of the Rain Overnight, you can see it moving north and eastwards. This morning it is turning more showery and the cloud should break. Well get some brighter spells, some sunny spells. And actually, its going to feel quite warm when the sun comes out through the afternoon, the cloud increases and another band of heavy thundery rain sinks south. Temperatures today, 20 21 celsius. Now, as that rain clears overnight, High Pressure builds, a Northwesterly Flow develops, the sky clears and the temperature drops. It is going to be a much chillier night tonight. Into saturday, weve got lots of sunshine, northwesterly breeze, but this colder air will really start to dig in. So its a breezy day for tomorrow. Lots of sunshine, but temperatures significantly colder. Night time temperatures also dropping dangerously close to zero. Thats it it me. More on the bbc news app and on Bbc Radio London across the morning. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Lets return to our main story now, and the situation in the middle east. The Israeli Military has told the un that more than one Million People living in the north of gaza must relocate to the south within the next 24 hours. Air strikes from israeli warplanes have continued to hit the gaza strip. The Uns World Food Programme has called the situation dire with warnings food and water are running out during the israeli siege. More than 1,500 people have been killed in gaza including 11 Health Workers on duty for the world health organisation. In israel, the death toll has now risen to 1,300 since hamas a group designated as a Terror Organisation by many western governments, including the uk launched an unprecedented attack on saturday. At least 150 hostages have been taken into the gaza strip, and israel says its blockade will not end until they are released. The us Secretary Of State Anthony Blinken met israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday. Hes now injordan, before travelling to qatar later, to urge both countries to help stop the conflict spreading. Today, more western politicians are travelling to israel to show their solidarity including the us defence secretary lloyd austin, and the head of the european commission, ursula von der leyen. This is the scene in gaza, where that Mass Evacuation to the south has been ordered to take place in the next 24 hours. It comes as israel is expected to launch a Ground Offensive into gaza with thousands of troops amassing at the border. More details are emerging of the atrocities committed by hamas gunmen, who rampaged throuthewish communities in Southern Israel on saturday. One of the most shocking massacres took place in the village of kfa r aza. Our correspondent nick beake went to meet one of the survivors. A warning that nicks report contains details some viewers may find distressing. Theyre shooting people, shooting kids. And the people please no, please no. They are the survivors. 22 year old netta and her boyfriend, santiago, escaped from hamass massacre in their village. She was shot six times in the legs. We start to hear gunshots for all they start. One apartment, one apartment, one apartment. Start to break the windows, break the doors and start to shoot you. Sounds people screaming. The killers filmed themselves on the loose, murdering dozens in theJewish Community of kfar aza. Trapped in her home with no israeli army to be seen, neta realised the only person who could save her was her dad, who she hadnt spoken to in six years. Hiding, staying silent, she managed to message him. They are close, she wrote. Lock the doors, her dad replies. Please answer, please. But the gunman found them. He started to shoot like were nothing. I fell down on the ground and i felt santiago scream on me. Neta, please stand up. Start to run. If you dont stand up, were going to die. Were going to die. Hiding under a pile of rubbish, she texted her dad again. Dad, they shot me. Help im coming, he replies. When she text me that they shot her and she didnt answer me, my heart stops and my brain starts to work. You know, i was mad. When shimon, a plainclothes policeman, arrived at the village, he came under attack. I took my gun and they start to shoot at me. I shoot at them. I dont know if i hit or not. And four people get from their houses over there and with the ak 47 start to shoot me. Eventually, shimon found neta near their burnt out home and took them to safety, leaving behind many bodies. Neta says israel must now respond in the strongest possible way. I dont want the hamas any more in my life. They need to destroy them one by one. They come to kill us. Have you been thinking about what may happen to civilians in gaza if there is a big Ground Operation by the Israeli Military there . I speaking all what i say, its for the jihad and the hamas. I dont. My country didnt want to hurt the civilians. I want them to be safe. I dont think they need to die, like i dont need to die. They like me. But civilians are being killed in this war in ever increasing numbers. Nick beake, bbc news, tel aviv. A very powerful message from that report.

They will still get that and will be celebrating a place in the finals as early as sunday if norway failed to beat spain. Jane dougall reports. Applause for the fans whod hoped to be there when their country qualified. Instead, they watched a first defeat in their group. Scotland had come to spain knowing a draw would do. They knew theyd need a strong defence to get it, along with some luck. Off the post somehow. Escaping by inches. Scotland hanging on here. But it started to run out. Captain Andy Robertson going off after a hard hit, then scott mctominay� s perfectly placed free kick, which delighted fans, was ruled out. Was it a foul or offside . Mctominay not impressed. Scotland fans not convinced. Spain quickly took advantage and took their chance. And Alvaro Morata for spain che adams could have got them the point here but just couldnt finish. Scotlands heads went down and mistakes crept in. A slip in the box, spain pounced again. Scotlands trip to germany isnt confirmed yet. The team was good. I feel sorry for them and even more sorry to have lost 2 0. It is decided on fine margins. We came here i wanted to show we were competitive and i think we did that. So disappointment but there are still several ways that scotland can qualify. Spain Play Norway On Sunday and, if they draw or win, then scotland go through. And if that doesnt happen, then they still have two more group games to get the points that they need, so the fans will have to wait a little longer to celebrate. Jane dougall, bbc news, seville. Scotland could still have gone through last night if norway had failed to beat cyprus. But it was manchester citys erling haaland, who prevented that from happening. The striker scored twice in the second half of a comfortable 4 0 win, to keep their qualification hopes alive. Norway play spain in oslo on sunday, and only a win for them will give them a chance of pipping scotland. Theres been a mixed reaction to the fas decision not to light up the wembley arch with the colours of the israel flag tonight, for englands friendly with australia. The Secretary Of State for culture, media and sport, lucy frazer called it disappointing. The players will wear black armbands during the match and there will also be a period of silence before the game. The fa says, it is to remember the innocent victims of the devastating events in israel and palestine. The fa also say supporters at wembley will only be able to bring in flags, replica kits and other representations of nationality, for the two competing nations, so england and australia but the england manager understands the decision. The fa will have consulted with everybody they possibly can and they will have tried to make the best decision with good intentions. Clearly, whatever decision they came to would have been criticised in one way or another. So i also recognise how difficult it was for them. I wasnt involved in those discussions. They were long and went on for a long time, i know, but theyve decided to take the stance they have and, you know, we will go on with that. Wayne rooney wants to be back in the Premier League and thats why hes taken over as manager of Championship Club birmingham city. Hes spoken to the nfl legend, tom brady, about his hopes for the club. Brady knows all about winning, having won the super bowl seven times, and became a minority investor in birmingham back in august. The pair will now Work Together after rooney returned to English Football, after leaving usa and dc united at the weekend. Hes signed a three and a half contract, with a club that has ambitions to be back in the big time. Yeah. I spoke to tom. Yeah. I think its great to have him at the football club, and hes very ambitious, the same way he was as a player. I think hes very ambitious to move this club forward as well. And its great to have him here. And its very clear that tom brady is fully involved in the club and developing the club also. Now remember the former spain womens head Coachjorge Vilda . Well, hes set to become the new head coach of the morocco Womens National team. After winning the world cup, vilda was sacked by spain last month as part of the fallout surrounding the Spanish Football Federation and the behaviour of the then president Luis Rubiales and the kiss He Gavejenni Hermoso after the world cup final. There was a big win for south africa at the cricket world cup, and they made it two defeats from two for australia. The aussies won the toss and put south africa into bat. Opener Quinton De Kock hit five sixes as he made 109. And that helped set a target of 312. Australia, who lost to india in their opening game, didnt get close. They were bowled out for 177, losing by 134 runs. Theyre now facing a real struggle to reach the semifinals. Some big changes to the Grand National has been announced. The number of horses entering the famous race will be reduced from 40 to 34 as part of measures to improve safety and give the runners more room. The race at aintree will also start earlier in the afternoon when the ground should in theory be slower and thats also the reason that there will be a shorter run up to the first fence, again so the horses wont have built up so much speed. One horse died in this years race, which was delayed after a protest by Animal Rights activists. In all there are ten changes. Go to the bbc sport website to check all the bbc sport website to check all the changes being made. Necessary as sport demands changes to keep horses and riders safe. They last made changes in 2012 and since then the number of fatalities have been reduced, five from 95 runners. Thank you very much. The name Charles Ignatius sancho might not be familiar to everyone. But he has a significant place in british history he was the first black person given the vote, almost 250 years ago. Now school, college and University Students have been learning more about his story in a new theatre production, as part of black History Month. Ben sidwell reports. I seek the life of a history that speaks of all the truths of my life up to this present day to survey. Its a piece of british history that hardly anyone knows the story of Charles Ignatius sancho, the first black person ever to be allowed to vote in britain back in 1774. I pretty much considered that my parents generation were the first black people to be here in any great numbers. Anybody whod said anything about previous to that, id always thought, thats just wishful thinking. But he turned out to have the most extraordinary story, and i was just swept into it and, through him, learnt so much about Black Britain before the 20th century. The line i followed that brought me here, my history. Sancho and me is the creation of actor and author patersonjoseph, whose career has spanned from the rsc to peep show. Johnson, alan johnson. Sometimes we get accused, you know, oh, youre rewriting history. To which i, i say, yeah, because its been quite badly written. So, to me, it was essential notjust to open up sort of our imaginations, but to change the way we look at that picture sort of turn up the colour contrast, if you like, and see that weve always had a multicultural britain. The free performances which are taking place during black History Month are being held at the university of birmingham. All history is important, but diversity in history is so important because you can get lost in thinking, well, where do i belong . What about my ancestry . Im not that surprised that we dont know that much about him. And i think, yeah, its really interesting to see. To actually, like, fully Pay Attention to the people of colour that were in this country for so long and were doing so much that we dont ever learn about. Weve got a lot to learn. And my biggestjoy is that when people come to sancho, they are not only surprised, they are delighted by him because he wasnt a miserable man, given the world he was in. He wrote music and its dance music and its cotillions and reels. He wanted to live life, so he has a positive effect on people. A significant part of our history thats remained hidden for so long. Ben sidwell, bbc news. Lets ta ke lets take a moment now on friday morning to take a look at the weather. What news do you have today . Weather. What news do you have toda . ,. ,. ,. Today .

Somewhere in the uk today . News of something much | colder. Somewhere in the uk has today . News of something much colder. Somewhere in the uk has hit 20 degrees but that will change as we go into tomorrow. To get to the change, contrasts across the uk again. Quite a few areas will see rain at times. The northern harse, scotland and Northern Ireland in particular, relentless rain folsom. A soggy start to friday. This is the Weather System responsible, it has got as far north as it can. As far north as southern cumbria, going towards County Durham now, the heaviest, most relentless rain in the north midlands. It is a warm start the temperatures in the high teens. Much better in scotland and Northern Ireland. A mix of sunshine and blustery showers. We will see the strongest of the wind. The end of the afternoon more sunshine into Northern England and wales and temperatures could drop relative to what we have at the moment. In the sunshine it will feel particularly warm, 15 degrees the hype is that the rain will spread into east anglia and the south east and clear. That leaves us with clear skies around the shower is peppering northern and western coasts. Tonight are much cooler night, especially in the south by 10 degrees cooler. Already starting to feel cool on saturday. Gales to the north east and east scotland. Gusts of wind 70 miles an hour. We drive in the air all the way to the arctic. Not as cold as any few months time but still more chilly than many had been used to. Plenty of showers in the north of scotland. To the west we can see heavy showers with hail and thunder mixed in. Sheltered from the north westerly wind. A few if any showers. It will be a sunny saturday and much cooler. Temperatures dip below where we would normally be for the time of year. Saturday night into sunday increasingly wintry at low levels. Look at the temperatures to take us into Sunday Morning the first widespread frost on the grass to start Monday Morning Sunday Morning. Stilla to start Monday Morning Sunday Morning. Still a few showers with a bit more cloud in the north of scotland and isolated showers to the west. Note the temperatures. On sunday afternoon, around nine to 11 degrees. It will feel much cooler than we have been used to full some time. High pressure into the start of next week. We continue with dry, reasonably sunny weather. The frost not as abundant as it will be on Sunday Morning. There was a bit of a collective will be on Sunday Morning. There was a bit of a collective ooh will be on Sunday Morning. There was a bit of a collective ooh at will be on Sunday Morning. There was a bit of a collective ooh at those a bit of a collective ooh at those temperatures. I think it was the 1 because we have had freakishly good weather this past week. A victorian Steam Locomotive that hadnt moved under its own power for 75 years is back on the rails. The t3 loco number 563 pulled express trains from london to the south coast for nearly 50 years, until the start of the Second World War. It was then mothballed and survived several plans to scrap it. Now, after six years of painstaking restoration, its working once more and causing quite a stir in swanage. Tom hepworth went for a look. Who says Victorian Technology is simple . Its definitely a more challenging engine than what were used to. Thejob of maintaining engines, its more like archaeology in some respects than engineering. Especially in this case. Number 563 hasnt moved under its own steam in 75 years. There is no one alive today who worked on this victorian masterpiece, and thats made its six year restoration tricky, including getting the colour of the paint right. On the drawing for the colour of this engine, it states not bs numbers for what the colours are. Its statements like green, like freshly cut grass on a summers day. Youd have occasions where the Works Manager at nine elms would say, this is the colour i want matched up by his workshop staff. Theyd produce that colour and theyd have flaming rolls about deciding whether it was right or wrong. And that was in the 1890s. Restoring the steam engine that hadnt worked since before the nhs was founded was not straightforward. Doing it through covid and a cost of living crisis was nothing short of miraculous. Its complicated, but it was complete. So we had a complete engine, but the firebox was completely knackered, so we had to completely rebuild the firebox and thats all copper. So its very expensive. So the challenges were engineering, but mostly fundraising. Raising £650,000 was no mean feat. But thats not the end of it. Keeping preserved Steam Engines running costs a lot of money, too. But 563 is a survivor. It was due to be scrapped in the 19305, but the outbreak of the Second World War saved it and it was pressed into service, already a veteran. It pulled its last train in 1945 and was due to be scrapped. But it was saved again, this time for waterloo stations centenary celebrations. And then it was added to the National Collection as a museum exhibit. Its now got to earn its keep. While 563 may not have the draw of a famous engine like the flying scotsman, its elegant and has a certain star quality. Itll bring more people to visit the railway, which will help us because we are, like other heritage railways, going through very tough economic times. There are cost of living pressures and weve got to find a way to move our railway to a sustainable basis so that it has got a long term future. 563 will be pulling trains again next week but the pressing issue, though, is protecting it from the corrosive sea air. And theres only room in this shed for one. Tom hepworth, bbc news. A stea m a steam train always remains an impressive sight. Do you remember the model . T3 number 563. That will become useful in a quiz one day. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. A very warm welcome to bbc london, im thomas magill. Threejewish schools in barnet have announced they will close today citing safety concerns. Among them Menorah High School for girls in dollis hill. Parents were sent a letter yesterday from the School Leaders informing them of the decision. It comes as the government announced £3 million in extra funding to protect schools, synagogues and otherJewish Community buildings. A Senior Metropolitan Police officer says there needs to be a reset of the use of stop and search and that it traumatises communities if carried out badly. Officers in a new Pilot Project are targeting areas where weapons cause the most harm. Theyve also been given training on how to treat people if they are searched. Stop and search is there to save lives. But communities tell us notjust about stop and search, but about the way we use our intrusive powers that we tend to do it to them rather than with them. Tower bridge will be closed to traffic this weekend so essential maintenance can be carried out. Engineers will be replacing four two metre long bolts which lock the bridge when its lowered. Tfl has agreed to scrap the Congestion Charge for drivers using the diverted route over southwark bridge. Work will take place from 7. 30 tomorrow until Monday Morning. Its absolutely crucial in terms of protecting the bridge and keeping it going for its lifetime. The sea Bridge Foundation are very good at looking after our bridges. We maintain them to a good standard in order that they can keep continuing to operate correctly. And if we dont do these things, the defects will get worse and get harder to repair and then you end up in the similar situations that other owners have had to face where you have got more significant works and more disruption. Lets take a look at the tubes now. Theres minor delays on the district line, upminster to tower hill, and the overgound is part suspended between barking to barking riverside. Now onto the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Weve had some heavy Rain Overnight last night, and today it is going to stay very unsettled, wet and blustery at times. The met office has a yellow Weather Warning in place for the heavy rain. Thats valid until 8 oclock tonight. Now, the progression of the Rain Overnight, you can see it moving north and eastwards. This morning it is turning more showery and the cloud should break. Well get some brighter spells, some sunny spells. And actually, its going to feel quite warm when the sun comes out through the afternoon, the cloud increases and another band of heavy thundery rain sinks south. Temperatures today, 20 21 celsius. Now, as that rain clears overnight, High Pressure builds, a Northwesterly Flow develops, the sky clears and the temperature drops. It is going to be a much chillier night tonight. Into saturday, weve got lots of sunshine, northwesterly breeze, but this colder air will really start to dig in. So its a breezy day for tomorrow. Lots of sunshine, but temperatures significantly colder. Night time temperatures also dropping dangerously close to zero. Thats it it me. More from me in half an hour. For now lets go back to charlie and naga. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Our headlines today.

Our middle east correspondent tom bateman is injerusalem for us this morning. Tom, a number of Significant Developments this morning. Lets talk first of all about this 24 hour relocation. This is the order from the Israeli Military that those living in the north of gaza must relocate to the south. Just explain how the israelis have detailed what will happen. How the israelis have detailed what will happen will happen. Well, the first alert to this was will happen. Well, the first alert to this was that will happen. Well, the first alert to this was that the will happen. Well, the first alert to this was that the united will happen. Well, the first alert i to this was that the United Nations and local teams in gaza that were informed by the Israeli Military liaisonjust informed by the Israeli Military liaison just before midnight that people had 24 hours to evacuate. There would be 1. 1 Million People in that area north of what is known as wadi gaza, that is the whole of gaza city. All of the civilians there should move within 24 hours. The Israeli Military has since confirmed that that order was made. And we have been told by the United Nations in their statement that this is completely unfeasible. Its impossible to carry out such an order. If you think about this, they are talking about everybody in already designated un shelters, hospitals, health facilities, the elderly and disabled, the very young. 40,000 people an hour would have to be moved. On the ground there has been some movement that our colleagues have seen of International Humanitarian aid south south out of gaza city ahead of massive Evacuation Operation potentially but the un says this would bring chaos beyond Disaster Thatis would bring chaos beyond disaster that is already there. Hamas has said it is psychological warfare and is telling residents in the gaza strip to ignore it. Is telling residents in the gaza strip to ignore it.

They have said that this is in order to protect civilians. Their troops are massed around the border. They have said this is to protect civilians because gaza will become an area of warfare. The key point is, the hospitals are full of wounded, full because people are going there for shelter. The designated shelters are full. So you have on the one hand hamas telling people not to move and the israelis say they have to leave gaza city.

It was last saturday when hamas, designated as a Terror Organisation by many western governments, including the uk, murdered more than 260 people who were at a music festival. Lucy williamson has visited the scene of the atrocity, and spoken to survivors. Her report contains images you made find distressing. Since saturday, the Festival Site near gazas border fence has been sealed inside a closed military zone. This is the first time that weve been allowed inside this site. Its become the ground zero of the attack here. Everything pretty much has been left as it would have been on saturday morning. The abandoned vehicles, personal belongings scattered over the ground, the tents, the stages, its all been almost frozen in time. And you canjust imagine the panic of people trying to leave. As people danced here early on saturday morning, gunmen stormed the site, kidnapping and killing. The sound of music replaced by gunfire. You know, you know its possible, but you dont actually imagine it will happen, especially not at this scale. This was unthinkable, unimaginable. Gunshots. We just heard a couple of gunshots ring out. And the Israeli Soldiers here are running, sprinting right across to the other side of the field. The army told us later that someone carrying a knife had been spotted near the site and arrested. Weve just been told to leave this site because there is an active situation going on. We heard a couple of gunshots ring out. This was an Army Supervised Press trip to a secure location. The nervousness now is hard to hide, even here. A week ago, revellers partied, trusting as much in their superpower image of israels army as in gazas borderfence. It took a day for everything to change. Lucy williamson, bbc news, Southern Israel. The uk is sending Royal Navy Ships and Surveillance Aircraft to the Eastern Mediterranean in support of israel.

There has been more talk about the humanitarian situation, there is also a focus. That is why we are told the government has decided to send those two ships that you were talking about, im told they were on a humanitarian mission to libya following the earthquake there, they are being set for assurance along with three Merlin Helicopters and the company of marines. Also, rishi sunak has been speaking to the egyptian president and offered uk support to try and keep the border between gaza and egypt open to offer a possibility for people to leave.

The biggest deal in the history of video games has been given the go ahead. Peter is here with more. This is a 7 page Press Release worth £56 billion.

Theyre the firm behind some of the most Popular Video games in the world call of duty, candy crush, overwatch. Microsoft has been trying to buy Activision Blizzard for over a year. They agreed a £56 billion deal. Why . Well, to get access to these titles, because of the millions of gamers who spend lots of cash while playing them.

The regulator here blocked the deal. They said they were worried about competition in the new tech of cloud computing.

Grey skies across england and wales today, warm start here. Bright and breezy weather across the north will spread south through this weekend. All of us will notice our first proper autumn chill of the season and the return of some overnight frost as well. That is still to come. Cool air towards the north, a scattering of showers, here is the relentless rain, not great on the roads and pavements this morning. Lots of cuddles and Northern England, wales, and in the south the overnight rain has eat. Heavy showers, sunshine for a time before the rain returned southwards. Continuing with a mixture of sunshine and showers in scotland, a chilly day. 20 to 22 celsius in the south east corner, winds will strengthen through the afternoon. Could see Gale Force Gusts are wrong english eastern channels. Across the midlands was the lincolnshire walls, some rain to the afternoon. The other end of the country, we could see some potentially strong winds. They will last into the night. Driving showers here and across Western Areas overnight. After evening rain in the south east, clearer skies into the morning and all of us will notice a chill tomorrow morning. Saturday night into sunday we will see an overnight frost but by day, other than a few showers on saturday, many will have a dry weekend. Breast cancer is often thought of as something that only affects women but it can also be diagnosed in men. The fact its quite rare in males can pose unique challenges for those who learn they have the disease. Lets look at some of the figures. Around one in seven women in the uk will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer during their lifetime. Cases are far less common in men with about one in 870 men developing the disease. Each year in the uk, there are around 55,000 cases of Breast Cancer in females, and approximately 370 in males. Earlier this year, James Richards was told he had Breast Cancer at the age of 36.

Three jewish schools in barnet have announced they will close today, citing safety concerns. Among them Menorah High School for girls in dollis hill. The metropolitan Police Issued a statement saying there is no place for Hate Crime In London and theyre ready to help anyone who has been affected by prejudice, ignorance or violence. This come as the government announced £3 million in extra funding to protect schools, synagogues and otherJewish Community buildings. A Senior Metropolitan Police officer says there needs to be a reset of the use of stop and search and that it traumatises communities, if carried out badly. Officers in a new Pilot Project are targeting areas where weapons cause the most harm. Theyve also been given training on how to treat people if they are searched. Stop and search is there to save lives. But communities tell us notjust about stop and search, but about the way we use our intrusive powers that we tend to do it to them rather than with them.

Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Lets return to our main story now, and the situation in the middle east. Israel has given a 24 hour deadline for everyone in the northern part of the gaza strip, which is home to more than one Million People, to evacuate to the south. This is the scene in gaza city, where residents recieved a message from Israel Defense forces telling them to leave for their safety and protection.

The warning comes as israel is expected to launch a Ground Offensive into gaza to root out hamas. A group designated as a Terror Organisation by many western governments, including the uk. The un has warned the Evacuation Order rescinded, warning that it could lead to devastating humanitarian consequences. Air strikes from israeli warplanes continued to hit the gaza strip overnight. The Uns World Food Programme has called the situation dire with warnings food and water are running out during the israeli siege. More than 1,500 people have been killed in gaza including 11 Health Workers on duty for the world health organisation. In israel, the death toll has now risen to 1,300 since hamas a group designated as a Terror Organisation by many western governments, including the uk launched an unprecedented attack on saturday. At least 150 hostages have been taken into the gaza strip, and israel says its blockade will not end until they are released. We can speak now to the defence secretary, grant shapps.

Israel of course has the right to defend itself and says it wants to eradicate mass. They went and took babies, still murdering them. Israel is warning they will be coming after the hamas terrorist who find themselves among the population use themselves among the population use them as human shields as part their policy. Israel is doing the right thing by giving notice to people which is the difference between a terrorist organisation and an operation designed to get to those terrorists are not the civilian population.

It uses telephone lines to warn people in stark contrast. Israel finds itself in a very difficult situation. It obeys International Law like any other nation and that is a point President Biden has made. Israel needs to deal with the Hamas Terrorists who are intent on eradicating israel and that is not an acceptable situation. It is why we have sent some military assistance, which is what i was coming on to tell you about, including ships and Intelligence Officers to the region.

I wonder how easy it is, if it is realistic that1 Million People could move within 24 hours to the south of the territory. I hear what you are saying. Surely it is the the problem is hamas killing people, murdering babies and celebrating it. Nobody would expect in the world has been united in their some israel not to need to respond and deal with the terrace. The fact that they terrorists use civilian population as their own how thatis civilian population as their own how that is at the heart of the problem here. Israel is giving you warning it is going after those terrorists. As i say, we absolutely respect israels right to do that, giving warning in advance. Giving them the means to me the way from that area. The humanitarian aid you are talking about today, how will that help those working in the hospitals, the elderly at the moment you cannot move .

Precisely how those are used, i am not at liberty to go into. It depends partly on the way the situation develops. It is also about deterring others from getting involved in the region, deterring malign, external influence which is the biggest concern because that would mean what we have seen happen in the middle east could expand to a wider region and that is why britain is acting today to do those things.

What is your message at the moment to people, jewish people in this country who do not feel safe . They feel the bitter, divisive language being used comes with middle east conflict it is affecting their lives are more hate is being stirred up. People are very worried am very concerned. I had to say, the way to start with this is to deal with the situation as it is. These are terrorists who, as i mentioned before, do notjust want to eradicate israel but they want to eradicate israel but they want to eradicate all dues. That is in their charter. Be helpful to recognise them as terrorists. I think it is a shame, particularly forthe them as terrorists. I think it is a shame, particularly for thejewish shame, particularly for the Jewish Community, who shame, particularly for theJewish Community, who are very worried. The government has provided more funds for their assistance. Thing called the csc, the securities trust, they are providing that reassurance. Also to point out how supportive the British Government is. The problem is we are dealing with people he will stop as nothing is back at nothing, as we saw at the weekend and from those videos of hamas beheading people and celebrating the fact. We want to make sure that people in every region feel safe and secure which is why the home secretary made clear there should be a zero tolerance approach to every attack on the community.

They were going mad in the stands. Then it was reviewed by var in a word disallowed. Their first defeat in this qualifying campaign. Scotland will now turn their attention to oslo on sunday, when a point or more for spain, against norway, will mean scotland have done it. If that doesnt happen, they will have to wait until next month until their final two matches. But it wasnt to be in spain as their winning streak finally came to an end, as jane dougall reports. Applause for the fans whod hoped to be there when their country qualified. Instead, they watched a first defeat in their group. Scotland had come to spain knowing a draw would do. They knew theyd need a strong defence to get it, along with some luck. Commentator off the post somehow. Escaping by inches. Commentator scotland hanging on here. But it started to run out. Captain Andy Robertson going off after a hard hit, then scott mctominay� s perfectly placed free kick, which delighted fans, was ruled out. Was it a foul or offside . Mctominay not impressed. Scotland fans not convinced. Spain quickly took advantage and took their chance. Commentator and Alvaro Morata for spain che adams could have got them the point here but just couldnt finish. Scotlands heads went down and mistakes crept in. A slip in the box, spain pounced again. Scotlands trip to germany isnt confirmed yet. The team was good. Ifeel sorry for them and even more sorry to have lost 2 0. It is decided on fine margins. We knew coming here we wanted to show we were competitive and i think we did that. So disappointment but there are still several ways that scotland can qualify. Spain Play Norway On Sunday and, if they draw or win, then scotland go through. And if that doesnt happen, then they still have two more group games to get the points that they need, so the fans will have to wait a little longer to celebrate. Jane dougall, bbc news, seville. Norway ensured they can still catch and pip scotland, thanks to manchester citys erling haaland. The striker scored twice in the second half of a comfortable 4 0 win in cyprus to keep their qualification hopes alive. Norway must beat spain in oslo on sunday to keep the chase going. Theres been a mixed reaction to the fas decision not to light up the wembley arch with the colours of the israel flag tonight for englands friendly with australia. The Secretary Of State for culture, media and sport, lucy frazer called it disappointing. The players will wear black armbands, during the match and there will also, be a period of silence, before the game. The fa says, it is to remember the innocent victims of the devastating events in israel and palestine. The fa also say supporters at wembley will only be able to bring in flags, replica kits and other representations of nationality for the two competing nations so england and australia but the england manager understands the decision. The fa will have consulted with everybody they possibly can and they will have tried to make the best decision with good intentions. Clearly, whatever decision they came to would have been criticised in one way or another. So i also recognise how difficult it was for them. I wasnt involved in those discussions. They were long and went on for a long time, i know, but theyve decided to take the stance they have and, you know, we will go on with that. Wayne rooney says he can handle the expectations after taking over at birmingham ity. City. Theres been a mixed reaction from fans, because the blues were doing well, sixth in the table, when they sacked managerjohn eustace to bring in rooney this week. Rooney returned to English Football after leaving usa and dc united at the weekend and says the Premier League is his goal and is excited about working with multiple super bowl winner, tom brady, whos part of the set up st andrews, after getting involved in august. Yeah. I spoke to tom. Yeah. I think its great to have him at the football club, and hes very ambitious, the same way he was as a player. I think hes very ambitious to move this club forward as well. And its great to have him here. And its very clear that tom brady is fully involved in the club and developing the club also. Australia are in big trouble at the cricket world cup, after losing their second match to south africa. The aussies won the toss and put south africa into bat. Opener Quinton De Kock hit five sixes as he made 109 and that helped set a target of 312. Australia, who lost to india in their opening game, didnt get close. They were bowled out for 177, losing by 134 runs and now face a real struggle to reach the semi finals. Some big changes to the Grand National have been announced. The number of horses entering the famous race will be reduced from 40 to 34, as part of measures to improve safety and give the runners more room. The race at aintree will also start earlier in the afternoon when the ground should in theory be slower. And thats also the reason that there will be a shorter run up, to the first fence, again so the horses wont have built up so much speed. One horse died in this years race, which was delayed, after a protest by Animal Rights activists. Now what a way to bring your glorious Super League Career to an end, than in a grand final, against the team where it all started. Its the stuff of fairy tales for sam tomkins, whos back in the north west hoping to write a new chapter in Rugby League History by winning the season finale, with the french side catalans dragons to do so he will need to break the hearts of his former club, the wigan warriors, where he has so many incredible memories. The final is at old trafford tomorrow and he says this biggest game of his life, will be his last in the super league. And guess what . Sam will be here on the sofa in an hour and we will hear the sofa in an hour and we will hear the advice he once got from his grandad which still rings true today. That was a good tease.

The advice, to grab your autumn wardrobe out of the cupboard is ready. It shows how temperatures compared to normal. The deeper red significantly above normal for a good part of europe, including southern counties of england and wales. The blues are below normal for the time of year, you can already see that in scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of Northern England. Note the change with deeper blue is developing across the uk and ireland. All of us will see temperatures drop quite markedly for the time of year. A first proper chill of the season. The cooler and in the north and west of these pressure systems. Causing a fee wishes. Lots of rain around england and wales. Some heavy bursts stop overnight rain has left a lot of Surface Water around. Still a few lively downpours. Pretty warm when the sun comes out. Rain is on its move southwards. Northern england, northern wales will brighten up compared with the morning. Scotland and Northern Ireland, pretty gusty winds go 50 mph, 60 mph across the far north west later. Around nine, 10 degrees compared with 20 with 20 to 22 in the south east corner. The rain in the midlands to end the day will push across east anglia and the south east area during the latter stages of the rush hour. Showers across the north and west tonight with clearer skies elsewhere. If you are sheltered from the wind, there may still be a chance of a touch of frost. Forall of may still be a chance of a touch of frost. For all of us, a cooler start to tomorrow morning. As we go into tomorrow, as the low pressure continues to put away, severe gales across the north and north east of scotland. It opens the door to the arctic air which will be pushing its way south. We still have the strength of the october sun, not as cold as in a few months time. Northern and Western Areas, a scattering of showers throughout the day, some on the heavy side. Sleet and snow on the hills as well. South and snow on the hills as well. South and east a few showers will push south and east but many will stay dry. Note the temperatures tomorrow afternoon.

The shy, slightly shy, introspective elton of the late 60s, and then suddenly the showman elton appears. Did you see that in him . Was that a surprise . I mean, hes quite something on stage. Well, yeah. I think a lot of that goes back to the early days of his childhood where he had a very repressed childhood. He always says about he wasnt allowed to wear hush puppies or anything like that. It was more than hush puppies by the end. Yeah, exactly. I mean, i think that it was just a sort of, a slap in the face to his past. Hold me closer, tiny dancer. Tiny dancer, ive often wondered about that title. I mean, its an interesting two words.

Our middle east correspondent tom bateman is injerusalem for us this morning. Tom, very Significant Developments during the morning this morning. And this clock which is now ticking of this clock which is now ticking of this 24 hour deadline for over a Million People to leave the north and that includes gaza city and move south, the israelis say, for their own protection. Take us through how you understand this will work. Iaghast you understand this will work. What we know is that you understand this will work. What we know is that this you understand this will work. Twat we know is that this order was you understand this will work. Wisgt we know is that this order was first communicated to un staff by the Israeli Military liaison shortly before midnight last night. What the israelis said is that everyone north of an area called wadi gaza, about halfway down the gaza strip, should evacuate south. That is 1. 1 Million People. If you think about the logistics of trying to do that in 24 hours, thats 40,000 people per hour. The un is saying that included everyone, everyone sheltering in theirfacilities, there everyone, everyone sheltering in their facilities, there are designated shelters in schools and some medical centres. Everybody was included in this. The entire civilian population of the north half of the gaza strip. United nations is saying that this would bring an unprecedented humanitarian disaster. Aid agencies saying they are horrified by this announcement and the un has called for the israelis to withdraw the announcement. They have confirmed it is being made, they have sent us a copy of what is being sent to prep presumably by leafleting and text messaging to palestinians in gaza. They are being told to get out for their own safety because hamas waged war on israel and gaza city is going to become part of the war zone. Remember that Israeli Forces are arranged around the perimeter of the gaza strip there. Some extreme amounts of concern. But few signs at the moment of any signs of a Mass Evacuation. The moment of any signs of a Mass Evacuation evacuation. What isnt included in the statement, evacuation. What isnt included in the statement, and evacuation. What isnt included in the statement, and the evacuation. What isnt included in the statement, and the question, evacuation. What isnt included in. The statement, and the question, i suppose for a lot of people now is, when that 24 hours is up, what will then happen . When that 24 hours is up, what will then ha en . ~ ~. ,. , then happen . Well, we know that the israeli then happen . Well, we know that the Israeli Military then happen . Well, we know that the Israeli Military has then happen . Well, we know that the Israeli Military has said then happen . Well, we know that the Israeli Military has said its Israeli Military has said its making preparations for a Ground Invasion but said this was as of yesterday that no decision had been made about that. At this particular point. We know there is a massive troop build up, self propelled artillery pieces ranged around the gaza strip that yesterday were firing on this strip itself. As for hamas, the interior run ministry in gazais hamas, the interior run ministry in gaza is telling people not to heed this warning from the israelis, to ignore it. They are saying there are still places they can take shelter, and there are still some un designated shelters. You have ordinary people caught in the middle the israelis telling them to leave, hamas telling them to this announcement ignore this announcement ignore this announcement from the Israeli Military. If the 24 hour window expires the expectation is that he will see an increase in what the israelis are doing militarily around the gaza strip. The gaza strip. Thank you, tom. Lets no the gaza strip. Thank you, tom. Lets go straight the gaza strip. Thank you, tom. Lets go straight to the gaza strip. Thank you, tom. Lets go straight to our the gaza strip. Thank you, tom. Lets go straight to our chief i lets go straight to our chief International Correspondent lyse doucet coming from the Southern City of ashkelon. Tom has given us an explanation of this degree from the israeli government, we can see the troops behind you, take us through what you understand the situation is this morning. What you understand the situation is this morning this morning. Clearly, military preparations this morning. Clearly, military preparations are this morning. Clearly, military preparations are intensifying i this morning. Clearly, military i preparations are intensifying and accelerating on israels part. We have seen for several days now, armour next to the gaza strip, jeep movement and the armour is being clue moved closer to the front. Israel seems to be focusing on the marshalling of resources it will need for what is expected to be a planned invasion even though the Israeli Defence forces are saying that the order to carry one out has still not been taken. There is a lot of military activity and priorities which would have to come before they try to move in by land. One has been this nonstop aerial bombardment of gaza, right across the gaza strip, targeting more and more. There is more, you might hear the sound of, a whole convoy of vehicles going by, guns, armoured vehicles, racing down to the front. It is a phase by phase operation. This nonstop bombardment, israel say they are targeting hamas structures, they have hit a 750 targets overnight. They are also focusing on these underground tunnels, which is one of the main reasons why they have asked half of the population of gaza to move south because they want to destroy the underground networks that are so vital to hamass operations, able to move people and resources, move their own preparations for this confrontation which is certain to come on the ground. The difficulty is, the danger is that above those underground tunnels are all the Residential Homes in this densely populated coastal strip of land. So it cannot get the channels without killing the people so it wants the people to move. But it is an impossible situation for the people of gaza, living what is already a terrifying nightmare. Brute of gaza, living what is already a terrifying nightmare. We understand that hamas are terrifying nightmare. We understand that hamas are telling terrifying nightmare. We understand that hamas are telling those i terrifying nightmare. We understand that hamas are telling those people | that hamas are telling those people who that would effect to ignore this decree from israel, lyse. They are dropping leaflets saying, this is propaganda. So in a practical sense, what do you think people will do in the places where they are being told to evacuate . To evacuate . What if you are a mother or to evacuate . What if you are a mother or father . To evacuate . What if you are a mother or father . You i to evacuate . What if you are a mother or father . You are i to evacuate . What if you are a i mother or father . You are sheltering in your basement, your food mother or father . You are sheltering in your basement, yourfood is running out, you have no electricity, your children are screaming because they hear the constant bombardment, noise of bombardment coming ever closer to your house. You dont have any mobile phone connection. Because the batteries have run dry. You are not even getting the messages, much less having the clarity of mind to say, israel is telling me to do this and we know the force that they are already inflicting on gaza, hamas is telling us to do that so if i leave my home, will hamas inflict harm to me or will israel inflict . Those who do get the message, they dont have the composure. What if you are elderly, ill, what if you are running a hospital with babies in incubators, people in wheelchairs, people sleeping now in the corridors . Its simply logistically impossible. And also, overhanging all of this is the history of a people bred in the bones of palestinians, that over the decades from one more to the next they are pushed from their homes in what is a temporary measure and it always becomes permanent. You temporary measure and it always becomes permanent. Temporary measure and it always becomes permanent. You very much for the moment. Becomes permanent. You very much for the moment. Lyse becomes permanent. You very much for the moment, lyse doucet becomes permanent. You very much for the moment, lyse doucet reporting i the moment, lyse doucet reporting from israel this morning.

The biggest deal in the history of video games has been given the go ahead this morning. Peter is here with more. This is all about this very famous company, microsoft. And another company lots of people may not have heard of, Activision Blizzard. Theyre the firm behind some of the most Popular Video games in the world call of duty, candy crush, overwatch. That is the time wasting phenomenon millions of people play these games and spend billions while they do that. Which is why microsoft has been trying to buy it. However rivals and governments have been worried about the deal giving microsoft too much power, limiting choice for consumers. The regulator blocked the deal saying it would hurt competition in the world of streaming online but microsoft agreed to some changes and in the last hour the uk regulator has said ok. This matters notjust for the millions of people who play these games but also for the uks reputation. When the regulator blocked this deal, microsoft said it was a bad day for britain. So everyone saving face and this deal is going ahead. Just on 18 minutes past eight. Lets get the weather now with matt. Good morning. Grey skies to start for some, good morning. Grey skies to start forsome, heavy good morning. Grey skies to start for some, heavy rain across england and wales, but it is fairly warm. Bright and breezy weather further north is going to spread to all with all of us seeing a marked drop in temperature. The first proper autumn chill. At the moment this is where the rain has been most persistent, Northern England, lots of Surface Water across england and wales, showers along the south coast. The better sunshine between one or two showers in scotland and Northern Ireland, but a strengthening breeze will shove the rain further south into the afternoon allowing skies to brighten up. Temperatures will drop, high is limited by the end of the afternoon, to the far south and south east, 21 to 22. That will be tempered by a strong breeze, outbreaks of rain to end the afternoon, the evening rush hour the midlands and east anglia, that will work its way to the south east through this deck on top of the rush hour. Forthe through this deck on top of the rush hour. For the north, the winds will strengthen.

Clearer skies elsewhere and a clear and colder night which will lead us into a chillier weekend. Showers on saturday but many will see some sunshine at times and a frosty start to sunday. Roadside Recovery Vehicles will be allowed to use Red Flashing Lights instead of amber in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of them being hit as they do their work. It follows a long Running Campaign led by Sam Cockerill, whose partner was hit and killed on a motorway hard shoulder while he was helping another driver. Jayne mccubbin reports. For motorists, they are the people there in a crisis. But too often Recovery Drivers are at risk on our roads. These are the Amber Warning Lights which are supposed to keep people like ryan safe. Myjobs not that dangerous. What makes it dangerous is other motorists. They see a big truck with lights on it, its got 110 lights on this truck, and they dont Pay Attention to it at all. They dont give me room, they dont give me space. No official statistics revealjust how dangerous this job is. The Health And Safety Executive say there are several Road Recovery and rescue fatalities every year. Drivers like ryan believe their Amber Warning Lights arent warning enough when so many other vehicles also use them. The motorways are the worst. Youre lying underneath the vehicle and i can see these. The wind comes right across your face when youre lying in your back putting chains on or taking a prop off. Or theyll come past with their hand on the horn beeping, but when youre underneath a truck on a motorway and something beeps, you move quick. Or if you hear the Rumble Strips on the hard shoulder. Im a big lad, but i can move quick if i hear them Rumble Strips. And that happens . That happens a lot, yeah. These kinds of collisions are all too common. Neil stead says he is lucky to be alive after a 70 mile an hour collision on the motorway in march this year. So im just going to load the car up on the m62 on the hard shoulder. A car drifts over, hits the car im loading and takes out my trailer. That ramp gets flung around, whacks me on the back of the leg, runs down the hard shoulder there, and the car that Hit Everything bounced all the way down the side of my van and was about 200 yards up in lane one. Your leg was pretty seriously injured . Oh, yeah, i were off work for a couple of weeks with it and its still numb, numb as a brush. No feeling at all in the bottom half of my calf. Could have died, couldnt you . Oh, yeah. And this was the second Collision Neil had been injured in in just six weeks. This was the outcome when a motorist shunted his recovery van into the breakdown he was attending. Do you feel lucky to be alive . Very. Very, very lucky, yeah. Its. Im not a person to do ifs and buts, but anything slightly different on that night and id have been stood there where that car hit and that would have been it, game over. I mean, im just going to work to get killed by somebody thats not paying attention. Thats what it is, not paying attention because theyjust ignore amber lights. Wed like to make the road safer for the drivers with red lights on the Recovery Vehicles. In 2018, Sam Cockerill and Nathan Green Sat on the bbc breakfast sofa to tell us about steve godbold. Hed been recovering nathans car on the m25 when he was hit by a lorry. Everything was slow motion at that point. We heard the vehicle and it was just everything happened that quickly that the lorry had come into the hard shoulder and hit steve. He died instantly. The driver was later convicted. Steves partner, sam, helped to launch a campaign to allow Recovery Drivers to instead use Red Flashing Lights on their vehicles. A campaign which the Department For Transport has now approved. Weve spoken to lots and lots of people. Weve got the whole Recovery Industry behind us trying to get the red lights. Ultimately, red spells danger. So i think theyre going to see a red light over an amber light. And i do believe its going to save lives. From the end of this month, Recovery Drivers can apply to use red lights with a Blanket Change coming in 2025. The lad here now, hes got amber lights on his front. Theyre not turned on, but hes got them on the front of his van. Hes just a van. The change is welcomed by drivers who believe it will save lives. You automatically see Red Flashing Lights, you think danger, you think slow down. Jayne mccubbin, bbc news.

Im thomas magill. Threejewish schools in barnet have announced they will close today, citing safety concerns. Among them Menorah High School for girls in dollis hill. The metropolitan Police Issued a statement saying there is no place for Hate Crime In London and theyre ready to help anyone who has been affected by prejudice, ignorance or violence. It comes as the government announced three Million Pounds in extra funding to protect schools, synagogues and Jewish Community buildings. A Senior Metropolitan Police officer says there needs to be a reset of the use of stop and search, and that it traumatises communities if carried out badly. Officers in a new Pilot Project are targeting areas where weapons cause the most harm. Theyve also been given training on how to treat people if they are searched. Stop and search is there to save lives. But communities tell us notjust about stop and search, but about the way we use our intrusive powers that we tend to do it to them rather than with them. Tower bridge will be closed to traffic this weekend so essential maintenance can be carried out. Engineers will be replacing four 2m long bolts which lock the bridge when its lowered.

More on the bbc news app and on Bbc Radio London, where riz is will be talking to one of londons leading resturant critics before 9am. More from me in half an hour. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Lets return to our main story now, and the situation in the middle east. Israel has given a 24 hour deadline for everyone in the northern part of the gaza strip, which is home to more than one Million People, to evacuate to the south. This is the scene in gaza city, where residents received a message from Israel Defense forces telling them to leave for their safety and protection. There have been a number of missile strikes, as i have been over the last few days. Gaza city. Within the Evacuation Order. Within the next 2a hours effectively, the entire city should be evacuated, israel is saying. They are saying for the safety of those who live there now. Israel is expected to launch a Ground Offensive into gaza to root out hamas a group designated as a Terror Organisation by many western governments, including the uk. The un has warned the evacuation could lead to devastating humanitarian consequences. Air strikes from israeli warplanes continued to hit the gaza strip overnight. The Uns World Food Programme has called the situation dire with warnings food and water are running out during the israeli siege. More than 1,500 people have been killed in gaza including 11 Health Workers on duty for the world health organisation. In israel, the death toll has now risen to 1,300 since hamas launched an unprecedented attack on saturday. At least 150 hostages have been taken into the gaza strip, and israel says its blockade will not end until they are released. More details are emerging of the atrocities committed by hamas gunmen, who rampaged throuthewish communities in Southern Israel on saturday. One of the most shocking massacres took place in the village of kfa r aza. Our correspondent nick beake went to meet one of the survivors. A warning that nicks report contains details some viewers may find distressing. Theyre shooting people, shooting kids. And the people please no, please no. They are the survivors. 22 year old neta and her boyfriend, santiago, escaped from hamass massacre in their village. She was shot six times in the legs. We start to hear gunshots for all they start. One apartment, one apartment, one apartment. Start to break the windows, break the doors and start to shoot you. Sounds people screaming. The killers filmed themselves on the loose, murdering dozens in theJewish Community of kfar aza. Trapped in her home with no israeli army to be seen, neta realised the only person who could save her was her dad, who she hadnt spoken to in six years. Hiding, staying silent, she managed to message him. They are close, she wrote. Lock the doors, her dad replies. Please answer, please. But the gunman found them. He started to shoot like were nothing. I fell down on the ground and i felt santiago scream on me. Neta, please stand up. Start to run. If you dont stand up, were going to die. Were going to die. Hiding under a pile of rubbish, she texted her dad again. Dad, they shot me. Help im coming, he replies. When she text me that they shot her and she didnt answer me, my heart stops and my brain starts to work. You know, i was mad. When shimon, a plainclothes policeman, arrived at the village, he came under attack. I took my gun and they start to shoot at me. I shoot at them. I dont know if i hit or not. And four people get from their houses over there and with the ak 47 start to shoot me. Eventually, shimon found neta near their burnt out home and took them to safety, leaving behind many bodies. Neta says israel must now respond in the strongest possible way. I dont want the hamas any more in my life. They need to destroy them one by one. I dont want the hamas any more in my life. They need to destroy them one by one. They come to kill us. Have you been thinking about what may happen to civilians in gaza if there is a big Ground Operation by the Israeli Military there . I speaking all what i say, its for the jihad and the hamas. I dont. My country didnt want to hurt the civilians. I want them to be safe. I dont think they need to die, like i dont need to die. They like me. But civilians are being killed in this war in ever increasing numbers. Nick beake, bbc news, tel aviv.
