Crossing which takes, which would allow people to transfer from gaza into egypt, might be reopened in a ceasefire early in the day but that did not happen. There is talk about how that could be facilitated. Israels military have updated that the number of people it believes are being held as hostages in gaza up from 155 now to 199. They were kidnapped when hamas infiltrated israeljust kidnapped when hamas infiltrated israel just over kidnapped when hamas infiltrated israeljust over a week ago killing more than a thousand people. All of the developments coming up on bbc news. Whole neighbourhoods have been reduced. Thousands have fled after israel told many people to flee the north but many have said they cannot or will not leave. This man is one of them. The water system has been cut off now for days.

The border between egypt and gaza is currently the only route out of the territory. But the Rafah Crossing remains closed, at a time when aid, fuel and water are desperately needed in gaza, and hundreds of thousands of palestinians are trying to leave the territory. Earlier i spoke to our reporter abdelbassir hasan, for an update on where negotiations around the Border Crossing are up to. Approaching the a very the sunset of a very busy day with no breakthrough, no significant change, at least at the borders between egypt and the gaza, mainly at Rafah Crossing. Although of these efforts, there is no outcome on the ground. People are still stranded on the side of the border or the crossing in gaza, while hundreds of trucks are still waiting for the green light to enter gaza. What we have here, of course, and followed through the day that denial from the three parties, i mean, egypt, israel and the government in gaza, that there were any kind of talks or a ceasefire or partial ceasefire in Southern Gaza or an agreement to open a corridor or to open rafah for any kind of action. The latest of these are the remarks made by egyptian Foreign Minister in a presser with his french counterpart, blaming israel for what he said was showing no support for the plans either to allow the foreign Passport Holders to come into egypt or to allow the entrance of the aid or assistance to the gaza strip. But he still said that egypt is working hard with the regional and International Players in order to reach an agreement. There were expectations that after the israeli meetings with us Secretary Of State blinken and the expected meeting of the cabinet that a breakthrough would happen. Therefore, there is still hope that by the end of this day there could be a breakthrough and a plan to open the borders. But, you know, so far on the egyptian side, the Minister Of Health has visited or inspected Rafah Crossing from the egyptian side and said its ready and even stepped up all the utilities at the region with more ambulances and the intentions to build a Field Hospital there. He said once its open the border or those coming from gaza will receive or will be subject to medical checks once they are into the egyptian territories. And this is the situation now at the Rafah Crossing. While here in cairo, still Shuttle Diplomacy is being carried out. Egyptian president has received a phone call for the first time from russian president. Of course, the main concern was to have an immediate ceasefire, to avoid more escalation in gaza and open corridors for humanitarian aid, as well as safeguarding the lives of civilians from both sides, especially those who are stranded at the moment. This is the situation with another significant move today as egypt has started extending invitations for the conference or the regional summit it has talked about over the last 2a hours. An egyptian envoy is now touring the region to extend these invitations for a regional summit on the situation in gaza, which is expected, as someone reportedly said, in Sharm El Sheikh by early next week. As weve been hearing diplomatic efforts are focused on trying to open a humanitarian corridor, to allow food, water and medical aid into gaza. Our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Landale reports. It is called Shuttle Diplomacy for a reason. Antony blinken has dashed from capital to capital across the middle east, meeting six arab leaders in four days. Listening and talking, cajoling and warning. And today he returned to israel to report back on discussions about protecting civilians and securing hostages, and, above all, about how best to avoid this conflict escalating. What ive heard from virtually every partner was a determination, a shared view that we have to do Everything Possible to make sure this doesnt spread to other places. A shared view to safeguard innocent lives, a shared view to get assistance to palestinians in gaza. Israeli troops have already been deployed to their northern border with lebanon amid fears that hezbollah, the iranian backed militants there, could use this opportunity to attack israel. Much depends on this man sitting on the left, irans Foreign Minister, here meeting hamas leaders in qatar in recent days, rallying support for a group that his Government Backs but many in the west say are terrorists. The United States has already sent one Aircraft Carrier group to the region to deter iran and hezbollah, another carrier is on the way, so worried is the us about escalation. European diplomats are also engaged. Frances Foreign Minister, here on the left, was in egypt today, pushing to get aid into gaza and foreign nationals out. And russias president , vladimir putin, had a phone call with president assad of syria to discuss, his office said, the humanitarian situation. This morning the Prime Minister visited a Jewish School in london in a show of support after recent anti semitic incidents. He said israel had every right to defend itself against what he called hamass barbarity, but. Ive raised with the israeli Prime Minister the need to minimise the impact on civilians best we can, ive raised the humanitarian situation. We will continue to do that with other allies around the region as well. But, again, israel has given people advance notice of whats happening, given them the opportunity to leave, and its hamas who is now telling people to stay behind. He said no one wanted what he called regional escalation, but in wars, wanting something is rarely the same as getting something. James landale, bbc news. Talking about the concerns for potential escalation, james has just alerted to a tweet that was put out by irans Foreign Minister. It says, time is running out for political solutions. He accuses israel of crimes and murder in gaza and he wrote, as you can see on the screen now. The details would be disputed by israel. And of course the contacts is that iran is known to Back Hezbollah and hamas, both proscribed organisations by many western governments including the uk. Turning to the us where in the state of illinois, a man has been charged with murder and hate crimes after allegedly stabbing to death a six year old muslim boy and severely injuring his mother. The boys father identified the victims as palestinian americans. Police say 71 year old joseph czuba was the victims landlord, and that he targeted the victims because they were muslim. They allege he was motivated by the israel hamas war. In a statement on sunday, President Biden expressed his condolences, saying, this horrific act of hate has no place in america. Live now to our washington correspondent, gary odonoghue. This is a very distressing case. What we know about what happened is that on saturday at some point, allegedly the landlord went to this apartment and when the mother of the boy open the door, the allegation is that he attacked her and tried to throttle her and that she ran off into the bathroom and when she emerged, the allegation is that her son had been stabbed. We are told multiple times, dozens of times. He died, and his mother was taken to hospital where she is expected to survive. The police have arrested joseph czuba, a 71 year old landlord, he has been charged with first degree murder and attempted first degree murder and attempted first degree murder and attempted first degree murder but also the Justice Department in washington are looking at Hate Crime Charges as well. He is expected to appear in court later today. Sadly, the funeral of the young boy is taking place in a couple of hours time. Distressing case. Hate crimes, there has been a focus on a worrying increase here in the uk, notjust against members of Thejewish Community but also members of the muslim community. Im wondering if that has been noted across the us as well . This obviously being a particularly terrible example. Yes. Particularly terrible example. Yes, there have particularly terrible example. Yes, there have been particularly terrible example. Yes, there have been reports particularly terrible example. Yes there have been reports of various incidences around the country although nothing as serious as this and we have seen protests right across the country in various cities. The fbi says it is looking at these threats very seriously and at these threats very seriously and a lot of the ones that have come in are not terribly credible but they are not terribly credible but they are taking them seriously. The fee is there could be a tit for tat with these types of attacks the fear. But it is impossible to see this as anything other than an absolute act of brutality.

Welcome back. As the israeli gaza war moves into its second week, thousands of people, including children are caught in the war zone. This does not only have an impact on palestinian and israeli childrens physical well being, but could have a lasting detrimental effect on their mental health. This Young Palestinian girl told us what it was like being in gaza. It is not a good thing, ijust run away, but then i find bombs and dead people and maybe one day i will end p people and maybe one day i will end up like them, it is a really scary thing for me.

The Disability Charity scope has seen a big rise in the level of debt that many disabled people 02 energy companies. From today, low income households in england, scotland and wales will get letters confirming theyll get an automatic payment of £150 towards their energy bills. Heres our cost of living correspondent, colletta smith. Theyve just been delivered, so i have to restock the fridge. Susan relies on electricity everything from her medication to her wheelchair needs power. It has to be kept fully charged. We plug that in. Living on disability payments, she cant cut down on energy. I owe £300 on my gas bill and i owe £145 on my electric. Where am i meant to get the money to pay that . Im scared to use anything. Its a living hell, an absolute living hell. The mental anguish that you go through is. Very detrimental, very detrimental to your physical being, and if youve got physical health issues. My health has declined a lot in the last year. And you felt more alone . Mm. These Front Line Advisers say Energy Arrears have spiralled for those with disabilities in the last 12 months. They got into debt last year and itsjust been building as the years gone on. A lot of the families that we are talking to, it doesnt matter what season it is, they still need the same amount of energy. Theres something every day, just from speaking to people who are using candles because they dont want to put the lights on, you know, speaking to people who are considering stealing food, so they can afford to top the meter up. Does it feel like theres much you can offer people who are ringing for help . Theres definitely not as much support this year. There is always that possibility that, potentially, we can identify some income that theyre not receiving. The government promised a consultation about having a cheaper social tariff for those in need, but thats not happened. The governments broken its promise in the long term. A social Energy Tariff is whats needed to support disabled people. In the short term, this winter, there needs to be more financial support. The government says it spent £40 billion helping households last winter and is continuing to help the most vulnerable, but it doesnt feel that way to susan. Its a bit like being on a Life Support Machine and youre just pulling the plug on it. How can we live like this . Colletta smith, bbc news, in east london.

That will be available on the iplayer. Now we have the weather forecast. Hello. The second named storm of the season, storm babet, is on its way later on in the week. So some wet and windy weather on the cards, but a week of two halves really. In the next few days, mostly dry. Weve got some frost, and some sunshine by day. Its from midweek onwards that we see the Weather Turning increasingly windy with some heavy rain, too. So if we take a look at storm babet, it will be heading its way gradually in from the southwest, moving towards our shores. I think increasingly heavy rain developing from wednesday onwards and lasting particularly through thursday and friday across eastern scotland. But lots of wet weather on the cards for many of us. Back to the here and now, though, today its really quite quiet out there. Weve got a lot of high cloud across much of england and wales. So fairly grey here. Some sunshine for Northern England, though, Northern Ireland and scotland, some showers across the Northern Ireland. Temperatures somewhere between 11 to m. Certainly on the cool side. Through this evening and tonight, then well see that Thickening Cloud Continuing to move in for southern and southwestern england. Some splashes of rain for the channel isles, for instance, the Isles Of Scilly as well. The breeze picking up here. But further north, weve got lighter winds and clearer skies. So the lowest temperatures will be across parts of scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland, where were certainly expecting another frost to start the day tomorrow. So, tuesdays weather still relatively quiet, a bit of Early Morning mist and fog to clear away from central areas. And then weve got some sunshine for scotland, Northern Ireland, eastern england, too, but Cloudier Skies for wales and South West England with some outbreaks of rain particularly close to the coast. Temperatures 11 to perhaps 15 degrees or so for most of us. A touch up on what were seeing out there today. And then as we move through tuesday night into wednesday, take a look at this area of low pressure moving its way in from the bay of biscay. The isobars really squeezing as well so that shows us were going to have that windy spell of weather developing for wednesday. Some outbreaks of rain initially for parts of scotland, then later for Northern Ireland, wales, central and southern england, too. So, the winds picking up around that area of rain, 35 to 45 miles per hour, gusts of wind. Enough to cause some disruption. Temperatures starting to come up a little bit, so milder with the arrival of that southerly or south westerly air flow. But lets take a look at the Rainfall Accumulation were expecting between wednesday and saturday and just take a look at these colours across the east of scotland. There could be 150 to 200 millimetres of rain, especially for parts of angus and south east grampian, so enough to cause significant disruption. Keep your eyes on the latest warnings. Bye bye.
