We will talk to our correspondents. Lets get more now from our Political Correspondent leila nathoo. Leila, interesting here. In lockstep with the us and joe biden. Yeah, a lot of discussion in parliament joe biden. Yeah, a lot of discussion in parliament here joe biden. Yeah, a lot of discussion in parliament here about joe biden. Yeah, a lot of discussion in parliament here about the in parliament here about the situation in israel today. Prime ministers questions was dominated by the issue and there was a further set of questions after that to the foreign secretary, james cleverly. You heard rishi sunak saying pretty much what hes been saying all day. A very sombre tone and mood. A lot of shock expressed at the Hospital Strike. You heard his word, urging people not tojump strike. You heard his word, urging people not to jump to conclusions. To wait for responsibility he said about the uk Intelligence Services conducting its own investigation. No timeframe given on when we can expect the results or the conclusions of that investigation to be published or made public. But there was an interesting slight Dividing Line opened up in parliament here with one opposition party, the snp, calling for a seat for the uk government to call for a cease � s fire. There are a0 odd mps out of 650 who have signed a motion to call for a cease fire. That is not something that rishi sunak said that he supported. That is not something labour party have said they supported. But quite an interesting development. There are now calls on the basis of the situation for the uk government to demand a cease fire. But you heard very clearly there from rishi sunak, saying israel has the right to defend itself. He is urging israel to abide by International Law and its actions. But i think the mood really in parliament was one of a lot of calls from both sides to speak with one voice. None of the adversarial exchanges that we are used to in parliament. You are now starting to get calls from some mps for the uk government to call for a cease fire. For the uk government to call for a ceasefire for the uk government to call for a ceasefire. And ust like joe biden, we heard from ceasefire. And just like joe biden, we heard from the ceasefire. And just like joe biden, we heard from the american ceasefire. And just like joe biden, i we heard from the american president when he was there in tel aviv talking about his thoughts. It was the number one priority, he said, the number one priority, he said, the hostages. So many foreign nationals being held. We heard rishi sunak also being asked about the missing british nationals. Missing british nationals. Yeah, there was an missing british nationals. Yeah, there was an update missing british nationals. Yeah, there was an update given missing british nationals. Yeah, there was an update given by i missing british nationals. Is i there was an update given by Downing Street earlier today. A confirmation that seven british nationals have been confirmed killed in the attack in israel. A further nine are still missing. I think those numbers could be expected to rise, at least seven. It was the wording the Prime Ministers spokesperson gave when giving that update. There is concern about british nationals caught up in the situation there. Certainly one of the opposition parties, the leader of the snp, his wife has family caught up in gaza. There are concerns. Rishi sunak has been made to evacuate british nationals, but unfortunately, sadly, those figures seven british nationals confirmed to have died in the attack and a further nine at least confirmed missing.

I told she was in home she said two kilometres. Itold her to she was in home she said two kilometres. I told her to call the will not call me when they get home.

Iris haggai talking to me just a little earlier on todays just a little earlier on todays programme. Were coming almost to the end. Just time to squeeze in one more important story in the uk. Inflation has remained at 6. 7 after prices rose in september at the same rate as the month before. The stagnant figure suggest the crisis continues. It raises concerns that Interest Rates could stay higher for longer. Gathering a good harvest here in kent. Falling food prices are helpful for shoppers, but mean tough times for farmers. Labour, electricity and diesel costs are all going up. Machines like this can help keep that down, but only a bit. I think if we see our cost price increase going forward, then weve really got to put that back to the retailers and say, we need to have a conversation about this, this is incredibly challenging for us. This used to be an orchard, but costs are so high that theyre digging them up and not replanting. Overall, food prices fell in september the first monthly fall in two years while diesel and petrol were up more than 5 . Inflation as a whole was unchanged at 6. 7 , while from may tojuly, earnings went up by 8. 5 , including bonuses. Septembers Inflation Figure usually sets how much working age benefits rise the following april, but pensions are expected to rise by that higher earnings figure if the government keeps to its triple lock policy. That could cost billions, but here in tonbridge, people were supportive. Do you think its fair that the State Pension should go up by more than inflation . Yeah. Why is that . Cos im a pensioner before when its gone up, it has been embarrassing, hasnt it . Itsjust gone up pennies. At least theyre making an effort, i think. Everything else is going up, so it levels the Playing Field a bit. I what anyone with a mortgage is going to want to know is whether todays figure makes it more likely that the Bank Of England will feel it has to put up Interest Rates again to bring inflation back down to its 2 target. And its looking like a finely balanced decision. The argument to leave rates on hold really hinges on some signs of weakness in the economy, so the pick up in unemployment, for example. The argument to put rates up would focus on the robustness of services inflation, essentially, that underlying inflation is still sticky. I think its better to get more rate hikes in now while we can, rather than waiting for evidence to the contrary. Inflation for october is expected to fall sharply as energy bills go down, so the Prime Ministers pledge to halve inflation this year might still get there. But growing instability in the middle east threatens to drive up energy prices. There are plenty of things that could still push it off course. Ben king, bbc news, tonbridge.

Thanks for watching, bye bye. Hello. Storm babette will be lashing the uk over the next few days, but id also like to make the point that the weather wont be bad all the time as this storm spreads from the south. Were also expecting the skies to clear in a few places. Sunny spells and mild weather can be expected, too. But lets focus on the rain, the biggest problem from this storm. A rare red warning in force thursday into friday for specifically angus and southern parts of aberdeenshire and the met office warns of even danger to life. But lets look at the rainfall first across the whole of the uk. So, this is the Rainfall Accumulation as the days go by widely 30 a0 millimetres of rain, but you can see around Eastern Scotland and the northeast of england here potentially well in excess of 100 millimetres of rain. So, heres the forecast then through the night, the weather fronts, the rain front associated with Storm Babette makes itsJourney Towards the north after a soaking with Storm Babette makes its Journey Towards the north. After a soaking evening across southern parts of the uk, actually, the skies may clear for a time through the early hours before further showers return. Its going to be relatively mild, around 15 degrees in the south, 10 degrees in the north with the clearer skies where the weather will have been relatively clear until then. Now, through the course of thursday, that rain really starts to turn very persistent across Eastern Scotland. Its the East Southeasterly Gale that develops, even severe gale, and will keep pushing the Rain Clouds Towards Eastern Parts of scotland like a conveyor belt. So, the rain will be falling in the same place all the time. So, heres the amber warning, because there are other warnings in force as well for other parts of scotland. In the north, across the highlands, we could have 100 millimetres of rain or so. This Overlapping Red Warning is for the severe gale on the coast of Eastern Scotland gusts of around 70 mph. But then, theres that red warning focusing on angus and southern parts of aberdeenshire, the red warning from the met office. Extensive flooding is possible. So, heres the forecast, then, for friday still that easterly wind pushing in the rain clouds, but notice that the concentration of heavier rain will now be across more central, southeastern and southern parts of england and actually across the north and the east of scotland. That rain should start to ease, but it may return by the time we get to saturday. Take care. At six, President Biden says it appears israel was not behind the deadly explosion at a gaza hospital. Yesterdays devastating blast which reportedly killed hundreds of people, we have a report from the scene. People are still in panic, people are still trying to understand whats happened. Joe biden backed israels account after talks with binyamin netanyahu. Deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in gaza yesterday. And, based on what ive seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team. But protestors in lebanon and many in the arab world believe israel, is to blame. Well assess the evidence and what questions remain. And this evening israel says it wont stop humanitarian aid entering gaza from egypt. Also on the programme a fall in the price of food at last, but higher fuels costs means inflation remains the same at 6. 7 . Also also
