Left on foot or in a vehicle. But many are determined to stay. Our Correspondent Reports from just a kilometre over the boundary with gaza. Its been over one week since hamas launched its unprecedented attack on israel. Some of the perpetrators are still just hundreds of metres away. Israels wave of air strikes has been the deadliest on gaza. And now they are prepared for a ground attack. It is hard even to imagine what were witnessing in gaza. This is the north where a Ground Invasion is expected to begin. Thousands left their homes in this area and gaza city to the south. A large number of the population still refused to leave. More than 2700 people in gaza have been killed. And whole neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Thousands have fled after telling civilians to leave to the north. But many say they cant or wont leave. This man is one of them trying to squeeze the last drops from the cities water system that has been cut off for days. Translation we will not leave even if they destroy our homes over our heads. There is no we to leave. Where are we going to go with a family of five or six . Children still play when they can. Taking advantage of a short moment of calm. Its their only release during days filled with death and violence. Multiple families here are now crowded under one roof. Many relocated after their homes have been destroyed. For many, moving south is not an option. Translation even the road is not safe. 70 people were killed in an air strike without any warning. All these strikes are happening without warning, even if we do go there with 50 members of my families from five or six families, where are we going to get food or waterfrom . We would carryjust our clothes. The Israeli Army Says it is asked civilians to move with hamas using them for Human Shields Which Hamas denies. What will happen to the Tens Of Thousands who have decided not to . Lots of developments on this trail the time that, as you will know. We have just read the United Nations chief say that he will travel to egypt on tuesday for a mission to last several days, he says and also plans to visit israel. That is the un office for the coronation of humanitarian affairs today. I ran� s Foreign Minister has warned that the possibility of the war between israel and hamas spreading to other friends is approaching the unavoidable stage. This was a statement on twitter, he said that time is running out for Political Solutions and accused israel of crimes and murder in gaza. 0ur correspondent, james langdale, has more on this.

Put it into context. Is recently as we have screened and increasing rhetoric from iran which is the latest version of iran essentially warning israel that if it launches a Ground Incursion into gaza, there will be consequences. So in recent days, we have had braces from irans Foreign Minister and other spokespeople saying, look, from irans Foreign Minister and otherspokespeople saying, look, if israel goes in, no one can guarantee what is going to happen or if israel goes in, there is a risk of a huge earthquake. Now, this is the most explicit iran has been saying, look, if israel goes in, then we are reaching the stage of unavoidable spread to another friend. That is shorthand for hezbollah attacking from the north. And this is what nobody wants, to suddenly have two friends as opposed to one. Thats why the americans have stuck a whopping Aircraft Carrier in the east mediterranean to warren hezbollah, they are sending a second Aircraft Carrier group to the region, they are so worried. And thats why the americans are using average of the medic tool theyve to try to tell everybody, look, our aim is to deter iran. If you speak to iran, tell them this is our intention. Dont plan that flames yourself. Were doing every thing we can to avoid this thing spreading because thats nobody� s interest. In because thats nobodys interest.

And what we are interested to hear is how much has the golf leaders, the arab leaders that he spoke until given him enough, sort of, you know, to give to the israelis and say, luck, the thing that could risk this is notjust aggression luck, the thing that could risk this is not just aggression from luck, the thing that could risk this is notjust aggression from iran, but also the nature, the manner of israels defence, the way it tries to destroy hamas in gaza. The nature of that conflict that is coming up and taking place now. It will have a Material Impact on how the rest of the beach and responds. In other words, do as possible to break International Law, hurt civilians, etc, because you dont want to give iran, fanned by other parts of the middle east, and even greater excuse to expand this conflict. In other words, the deterrence, that the escalation is notjust a message to iran, its also a message to israel saying, look, how you do this thing can be your legitimate destruction, Attempted Destruction of hamas, how you do that will shape how other players in the game do or do not get involved. find players in the game do or do not get involved. �. , ,. , involved.

Speaking in parliament, rishi sunak condemned the attacks in israel, and offered his support to both britainsjewish and muslim communities. Ican i can announce today that we are increasing are aided by a third with an additional £10 million of support. An acute humanitarian crisis is unfolding to which we must respond. We must support the Palestinian People because they are victims of hamas too. Like our allies, we believe that hamas does not represent the Palestinian People or their legitimate aspirations to live with equal measures of security, freedom, justice, opportunity and dignity. Hamas simply does not stand for the future that the palestinians want. And they seek to put the Palestinian People in harms way. So we must ensure humanitarian support urgently reaches civilians in gaza. This requires egypt and israel to allow in the aid that is so badly needed. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent. Hello to you. It was very much the Prime Minister, rishi sunak and also kier starmer, that leader of the opposition speaking with one voice and one message. And one message. Thats right, its not something and one message. Thats right, its not something you and one message. Thats right, its not something you see and one message. Thats right, its not something you see very and one message. Thats right, its l not something you see very regularly at these Dispatch Boxes in parliament, but today, but the Prime Minister and, the labour leader, very much on the same page in their response. Both of them said that they believed israel had the right to defend itself, both strongly condemned the actions of hamas. In both reference that they believed that israel should make sure it is taking steps to minimise civilian casualties and is acting within the scope of International Law, both also reiterating the uks long standing Foreign Policy position, their calls for a two state solution, the creation of an independent Palestinian State in addition to an israeli state as well. Now, both leaders as well turn their thoughts to events in the uk as well, condemning a rise in anti semitic attacks, but also expressing their solidarity both for jewish communities in the uk and also muslim communities in the uk who may have been subjected to islamic Public Comments are attacks as well. The Labour Leaderfollowed the Prime Ministers speech and expressed his agreement with the Prime Ministers support for both communities. I do not want britain to be a place wherejewish schools are closed, jewish children stay at home out of fear and jewish families feel compelled to hide their identity. And i do not want britain to be a place where british muslims feel that they have to apologise for the actions of people who do not act in their name. We cannot allow Community Cohesion in our country to be destroyed. We all bear a responsibility to do all we can to stamp out hate. And we fully support police action, provide extra assistance for our communities. Ione, and peace also brought up the potential violation of International Law. V potential violation of International Law. , � ,. ,. , law. Thats right, the question of internationalize law. Thats right, the question of internationalize becoming law. Thats right, the Question Of Internationalize Becoming An internationalize becoming an increasingly politcised one here in the uk as well and there were different perspectives on is raised ljy different perspectives on is raised by different mps from across the House Of Commons. We had, for example, across pretty group of mps, the tory mp but also labour mps, richard and imran, as well as a green party mp, caroline lucas, all raising their concerns with the Prime Minister that while they condemned the actions of hamas, they argued that israel had been inflicting collective punishment on Palestinian People and questioned whether israels actions had been in line with International Law. Then you had from another perspective the Conservative Mp, michael ellis, asking the Prime Minister to agree with him that israel had followed International Law. So clearly this is an issue that is increasingly dividing mps here in the House Of Commons. I think what was notable is that the Prime Minister did not answer that question directly, nor did the Foreign Secretary when asked about this on the weekend. Many ministers are being incredibly careful what they say when asked whether or not they think israel has been complying with International Law in its response to the attacks ljy law in its response to the attacks by hamas. At the Prime Minister did say in response, again, something under the other ministers have acted as a reiteration of his position that israel has the right to defend itself, that the uk believes in the importance of International Law and that israel must take steps to reduce civilian casualties, but certainly i dont think this is a question that ministers are going to find goes away for them any time soon. I think they will be continue to ask this question both when asked in Media Interviews but also by fellow mps.

Breaking news, all data have been questions about whether the rafa crossing, the single crossing from egypt and gaza will be opened, and the United Nations havejust said that no progress on the full opening of the Rafah Crossing between egypt and gaza has been made. That has been quite an issue today, lots of International Statements asking for that to be open. At the un spokesperson saying no reopening of the Rafah Crossing. Now, in the United States of illinois, sarri, the us states 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 Choo Ba 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 sunday, President Biden expressed his condolences, saying this horrific act of hate has no place in america. Earlier i spoke to our washington correspondent, gary odonoghue. What we know about what happened is that on saturday at some point, allegedly, the landlord went to this apartment and when the mother opened the door, the allegation was that he attacked her, tried to throttle her that she ran off into a bathroom and when she emerged into a bedroom, the allegation is her son had been stabbed, and we are told multiple times, dozens of time in fact that he died and his mother was taken to the hospital where she is expected to survive. Now the police have arrested the 71 year old, he has been charged with first degree murder and attempted first degree murder, but also Thejustice Department here in washington are looking at Hate Crime Charges as well. He is expected to appear in court later on today and sadly the funeral of young wadea is taking place in a couple of hours time couple of days time. find place in a couple of hours time couple of days time. Couple of days time. And hate crimes, certainly couple of days time. And hate crimes, certainly there couple of days time. And hate crimes, certainly there has couple of days time. And hate i crimes, certainly there has been couple of days time. And hate crimes, certainly there has been a worrying increase certainly here in the uk, notjust against members of the uk, notjust against members of Thejewish Community but also members of the muslim community. Im just wondering if that has been noticed or noted across the United States as well . Obviously this being a particularly horrific example. Absolutely, and there has been reports of various incidents across the country nothing quite as serious as this, and of course we have seen protests right across the country in various cities, the fbi saying that it is looking at all of these threats very seriously, a lot of the ones that have come in arent terribly credible, but its taking them seriously. I think that fear is that there will be, there could be a kind of tit for tat for these types of attacks. But it is impossible to see this as anything other than an absolute act of brutality, and a sense, what does a six year old child know about anything . That was our wearing. Our washington correspondent. Ajewish school was sprayed with red paint in north london this morning. The headteacher said the gate outside Beis Chinuch Lebanos Girls School in Woodberry Down was graffitied around 7am this morning. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets have a look at some of the other stories making the news today. Further School Strikes are due to take place in scotland. This is after a Union Rejected the latest pay offer for support staff. The union that represents administrators, Catering Assistants and janitors set a Rolling Programme of strikes in schools and nurseries will take place in the coming weeks with dates announced within days. Parliaments Behaviour Watchdog has recommended that Conservative Mp peter bowen be suspended for six weeks for bullying and sexual misconduct. A former member of staff had complained about his behaviour, alleging the incident happened more than ten years ago peter bone. This decision will have to be voted on by the House Of Commons to be approved. More foreign prisoners are to be deported to their home countries under plans to tackle over carting to connect overcrowding injails. Tackle over carting to connect overcrowding in jails. Jails are approaching full capacity with a number of inmates at an all time high. Under current rules, foreign offenders can be sent home up to a year before the end of their sentence. New plans would see more caseworkers deployed to speed up removals, allowing criminals to be removed up to six months earlier. The true picture of amy mack Waiting Times in wales has been seriously underreported for a decade according to the Royal College of emergency medicine. The independent medical association has found thousands of hours are missed from monthly figures. The bus government has questioned the claims and questioned the interpretation of the figures. Keith brown told his the Scottish National partys deputy leader, keith brown, will tell his partys conference in aberdeen today that the next General Election will be a straight choice between control by westminster and independence. The conference opened yesterday with delegates backing the partys new independence strategy. That would see the Scottish Government demanding that westminster gives it the powers to hold a new referendum, if the snp wins a majority of the seats in scotland at the next General Election. Our Political Correspondent nick eardley has the latest from the conference in aberdeen. Hello to you. Looking quite quiet behind you. But tell us what has been said today. It is behind you. But tell us what has been said today. Behind you. But tell us what has been said today. It is done for the da. Been said today. It is done for the day everybody been said today. It is done for the day. Everybody has been said today. It is done for the day. Everybody has packed been said today. It is done for the day. Everybody has packed up day. Everybody has packed up and gone home. You know what . Its been a part that in a particularly peculiar conference because im csf� s big plan was to talk about independent yesterday and talk about talking about other stuff. That hasnt really happened because different people have been describing the new policy in different ways. I sat there keith browns speech earlier and there were different descriptions about exactly how that policy would play out. Did they want most seats, the majority of seats, would they say its a mandate for independence . Would they use it to argue for another referendum . The truth is the way you describe the policy is the correct way that a majority of seats the snp think would allow them to make the case for another referendum, but, it has been pretty tricky for some politicians here to bill that out succinctly, and i think that is a challenge the snp are going to face, the other challenge they face is the fact that they are not doing particularly well in the polls. A Second Chance according to the polls that labour are going to take a bunch of seats from the snp at the General Election. Which will make arguing for another referendum a bit harder. You know what . Interestingly, the Main Attraction today, the most newsworthy moment of the day was not the current leader but the x1 Nicola Sturgeon unannounced, quite surprisingly, turned up at the conference earlier, was swarmed by members, swarmed by the media, she said she was fully behind humza yousaf, totally backed the new strategy and independence, despite the fact that its different from the fact that its different from the one she was pitching before she stood down as snp leader. But there was this kind of strange moment today where it felt a bit like she was overshadowing humza yousaf� s rest conference, following her about some members crying when she turned up, they were so happy to see her. And she was asked whether she had become the latest trust that the and doug snp, a reference to the fact that when we were in manchester, liz truss turned up and overshadowed rishi sunak� s day. He wont be surprised to hear Nicola Sturgeon denied that, but it was just an interesting moment where some of the spark was coming from an ex leader rather than the current one. Hick. Rather than the current one. Nick, it has been rather than the current one. Nick, it has been a rather than the current one. Nick, it has been a tricky rather than the current one. Nick, it has been a tricky few rather than the current one. Nick, it has been a tricky few months i it has been a tricky few months for the snp. I think that is fair to say in the recent by election.

I think it is fair to say that it is the there . I think it is fair to say that it is the most there . I think it is fair to say l that it is the most challenging there . I think it is fair to say that it is the most challenging few months the snp has had since it became a mass party after the first Independence Referendum in 2014 when Tens Of Thousands of people join. This is the hardest period its had since been when you speak to the delegates here can i think they are trying to put a brave face on it. They are trying to move mind, find a way of moving on, but i think its also completely fair to say that this is a lot more subdued than snp conferences have been, notjust because its conferences have been, notjust because its quiet here or gone off to the local bars in aberdeen, but there are fewer people here, there isnt the same sense of momentum, feels like its more of an academic one rather than one that might actually lead to solid progress soon. And all of that is because of those polls we were talking about. It looks at the moment like the snp is in retreat. Yes, from a very high point and it may still remain the Biggest Party in scotland after a General Election, but it does feel like they are facing a challenging period and humza yousaf� s big challenge in his Keynote Speech tomorrow is to try to turn that around, to try to get them on the front foot. I thank you will see and independence plan, and talk about the stuff thats dominating everyones lives, like the cost of living, nhs, domestic policies that actually moving on and getting the snp back on the front foot will be tough.

Taking us back to our top story you remember we have been talking all day about the Rafah Crossing, or parts of and air strike hitting the Rafah Crossing, and we have had news from our reporter in gaza and he has confirmed to the bbc that rafah was indeed hit by an air strike, according to hanna, the building on the palestinian side of the crossing has been damaged. He also reports that there is damage to the road between gaza and egypt. In that report there own that reported strike on the Rafah Crossing. To stay with us here on bbc news. Before we go, earlier on bbc news, we reported on some of the pro palestinian demonstrations at the weekend. We spoke about several demonstrations across britain during which people voiced their backing for hamas. We accept that this was poorly phrased and was a misleading description of the pro palestinian demonstrations. Now here is the weather with sarah keith lucas. Hello. Monday brought us a fairly crisp autumn day with some sunshine, be it a little bit hazy, but its going to be all change. Next day or so, still largely dry with sunny spells and some frost around. But midweek onwards, a real change to increasingly windy weather with some heavy rain as well. And thats all courtesy of our second named storm of the season, storm babet, which has formed close to the canary islands. Its pushing its way now you can see on the Satellite Image towards the bay of biscay. And as we head through the middle of the week, this low Pressure System merging with another one from the atlantic is going to bring increasingly wet and windy weather, especially across parts of scotland. But were all going to be seeing some heavy rain widely between about 30 to 50 millimetres, but its this zone across central and eastern scotland, you can see on the Rainfall Accumulation Map here, we could see between 150 200 millimetres of rain from wednesday to saturday, enough to cause some flooding issues, therell also be strong winds and big waves, too. Now for the rest of the evening and overnight, then, most of us looking dry, perhaps a few showers close to lincolnshire, norfolk as well. Clearer skies across the northern half of the uk where well see a frost again. But further south, not as cold as last night because weve got more cloud around and slightly milder air too. A bit of rain Tuesday Morning for the likes of cornwall, devon pushing into pembrokeshire as well. Most other areas looking dry. Plenty of sunshine for scotland, northern and Eastern England after any morning mist clears away. Sunny spells for belfast, i think 14 celsius here. But that rain will push across northern ireland. Through into the evening hours and overnight into wednesday, wet weather sweeps up across central parts of scotland, and more showers start to arrive from the south. Itll be a milder night, so temperatures certainly frost free, between about 8 15 celsius, i think, first thing wednesday. So, yes, some mild air with us, but you can see the proximity of the isobars. That means the winds are starting to pick up and the rain is starting to arrive as well. So wednesday then initially a bit of rain for scotland, looks like well see more rain into parts of southern england. Some of this potentially heavy, could be thundery, and the winds are rotating around that area of low pressure. So gusts widely between about 35 45mph on wednesday. Itll be a bit milder compared to monday and tuesday, so highs between about 10 celsius in the north, still chilly there, to about 17 celsius towards the south. And then its thursday into friday that we see the persistent, at times heavy rain and the strong winds, which are likely to cause some disruption. Bye bye. Tonight at six the desperate flight of people from gaza as israel continues its Bombing Campaign over the north of the territory. Queues build at the crossing into egypt as people try to get out of gaza, but despite diplomatic efforts, it remains closed, and reports tonight that its been hit by an airstrike. In gaza, water, fuel and medicines are running out, says the un, and theres not enough food. Some wont move to the south of the territory, fearing israeli airstrikes. Translation the strikes are happening without warning. Even if we do go there, where are we going to get food or water from . Lam i am live on the Israel Lebanon border i am live on the Israel Lebanon border as i am live on the Israel Lebanon border as Tens Of Thousands of people border as Tens Of Thousands of people are evacuated amid fears that a new people are evacuated amid fears that a new Northern Front could open up in this a new Northern Front could open up in this war~ and here, the Prime Minister confirms six british people are known to have been killed in the attack in israel. Ten are missing. We talk to the brother of one of those killed by hamas. He was killed defending his country, keeping as many
