Details later. Its thursday 19th october. Around 20 trucks of aid are expected to enter gaza after a deal announced by President Biden. Egypt has agreed to let the humanitarian supplies enter via the Rafah Crossing but its unlikely to happen until friday. Announcing the agreement, the us president warned that the aid would be stopped, if any supplies were taken by hamas, which is regarded as a Terrorist Organisation by the uk. Rishi sunak will also arrive in tel aviv this morning, as part of a two day visit to The Middle East. With the latest, heres our correspondent wyre davies. As trucks carrying aid queue on the egyptian side of the gaza egypt border, the un and aid agencies have been increasingly alarmed at the unfolding humanitarian crisis. On a visit to israel which lasted barely a day, while reaffirming his steadfast support, joe biden also pressed the case for aid for gazas 2. 5 million palestinian citizens many of whom are struggling to get access to food, water and medical supplies. Then on the plane home, the president told reporters that a deal had been reached. Egypt had agreed to let an initial 20 tracks in through the Rafah Crossing. This has been very in through the Rafah Crossing. Ti 3 has been very blunt negotiation in through the Rafah Crossing. Ti 1 has been very blunt negotiation i have had, and so we want to get as many of the trucks out as possible, there is i guess 150 or something, not all of them will go. The first tranche, if there is a second one, see how it goes. The tranche, if there is a second one, see how it goes. See how it goes. The aid will be delivered under see how it goes. The aid will be delivered under un see how it goes. The aid will be delivered under un supervision| see how it goes. The aid will be delivered under un supervision with the president saying it might not arrive until friday. There was also what it will stop if any is taken by hamas, which had been what it israels main concerns. We hamas, which had been what it israels main concerns. We have said at the americans israels main concerns. We have said at the americans have israels main concerns. We have said at the americans have said israels main concerns. We have said at the americans have said that israels main concerns. We have said at the americans have said that they| at the americans have said that they have to at the americans have said that they have to be at the americans have said that they have to be safeguards in place to make have to be safeguards in place to make sure have to be safeguards in place to make sure that aid goes to the people make sure that aid goes to the pe0ple it make sure that aid goes to the people it needs to go to. Hamas are the only people it needs to go to. Hamas are the only people with guns, its not like you the only people with guns, its not like you can the only people with guns, its not like you can do much if they say come like you can do much if they say come here like you can do much if they say come here. There have to be arrangements in place to make sure that that arrangements in place to make sure that that doesnt happen. Both israeli and that that doesnt happen. Both israeli and palestinian that that doesnt happen. Errti israeli and palestinian officials are still blaming each other for a huge explosion at a Gaza Hospital that killed almost 500 people. President biden had earlier said that he believed israels version of events. As the dead were buried, the blame game continued and tensions rise ahead of what many assume is an inevitable Israeli Ground invasion of gaza. With almost 200 hostages held by hamas inside gaza, there are concerns that direct israeli action mightjeopardise their concerns that direct israeli action might jeopardise their safety Stop Theirfamilies will might jeopardise their safety stop their families will have taken some comfort after President Biden said he had discussed their plight, saying he could not reveal details but there was no higher priority than their safe return. There will be more diplomatic visit in coming days including rishi sunak� s today, supporting israels right to self defence but also urging restraint with civilian populations. When as expected Israeli Ground forces do go into gaza. Lets speak now our middle east correspondent tom bateman. Good morning, tom. Yesterday we had a significant announcement from President Biden about the principle of some aid getting into gaza, now of some aid getting into gaza, now of course it is all about the practicalities. What can you tell us about that . About that . What we know is that basically president about that . What we know is that basically President Biden about that . What we know is that basically President Biden did about that . What we know is that basically President Biden did a. About that . What we know is that i basically President Biden did a deal with the israelis, he has said that there will be unprecedented Military Aid Package for the israelis to be signed off in the us in the coming days. What he said the israelis have agreed to is to allow for a significant amount of aid to get in from egypt over the rafah Border Crossing into gaza. The egyptian president , Abdul Attar Lcc last night said that there were 20 trucks ready to go in. It seems to be the most basic of supplies, it will be food and water and medicines, but not fuel crucially, that matters because fuel is needed to keep the Water Pumping and to help filter and purfiy Water Pumping and to help filter and purify water which is often undrinkable. You need to powerfor the filters. Fuel is important but it seems that will not be part of what it is going in, but it will be crucially clean water and food which is so important there at the moment. The latest indication is the crossing might open tomorrow. We thought at the beginning of the week there could be a humanitarian truce to allow aid to go in, the israelis and hamas said there would be no choice so nothing opened. Things are very volatile so we have to wait and see until the moment the crossing opens and importantly mr biden said at the moment, those foreign nationals who are backed up at the Rafah Crossing inside gaza, palestinians and foreign passports, will not be allowed to exit at this stage but he said it is still hopeful that that could be allowed to happen. As weve been hearing, the Prime Minister will be visiting tel aviv later this morning. Were joined now by our Political Correspondent damian grammaticus. Good morning.

And then he will also focus on that situation you are hearing about with the aid, wanting aid, he will express the desire that aid should go in as quickly as possible. And reach civilians in gaza. And also that should ideally allow british citizens and other foreign citizens, british nationals, to be able to leave gaza when that Border Crossing is open. We are hearing that might not happen. Along with that might not happen. Along with that he will go to other parts of the region we are told, we dont know the schedule yet.

Good morning, charlie, | from a Stormy Beirut this morning. The situation was much quieter here overnight in relation to those protests, and i was at what one of those demonstrations yesterday that have been organised by hezbollah, this powerful socio Military Organisation in lebanon which is supported by iran. Hundreds of people in there, many of them were chanting anti american and anti israeli slogans so it gives you anti israeli slogans so it gives you a sense of how tense the situation is here in lebanon. Along the border, violence continues. Overnight at the Israeli Military had shelled positions in lebanon including a hezbollah retaliate observation post, in retaliation, they say, from shooting attacks carried out by his wallet yesterday. There were 20 incidents along the border yesterday, there were 20 incidents along the borderyesterday, there were 20 incidents along the border yesterday, bite hezbollah yesterday. There were 20 incidents along the border yesterday, double that there were on tuesday. The fear is that lebanon could be dragged into this conflict. We have a number of countries now warning their citizens against travel to lebanon and the uk is now telling british nationals to leave the country while commercial options remain available. Thank you very much, hugo. Ten minutes past six, lets get the rest of the news with naga. Friends have paid tribute to a couple from berkshire, who were killed on their honeymoon in a National Park in uganda. Police say the newlyweds, named locally as david and celia barlow, were shot dead along with their tour guide. Our Correspondent Simonjones joins us now from the Foreign Office. Good morning, simon. Uganda is a very popular tourist spot, there will be grave concerns now for anyone travelling in that region. Yes, david and celia barlow had been a couple for around ten years, but they got married last saturday in south africa, where mrs barlow was originally from. They then travelled to uganda for their honeymoon but on tuesday, they were visiting the Queen Elizabeth National Park in the south west of the country. The vehicle they were in was set upon by attackers, they were killed along with their ugandan tour guide. The president of uganda has described what happened as a terror attack, he said those who carried out the attack were cowardly and they would be hunted down and pay the price of their wretched lives. A so called Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack on social media but they have not provided any evidence. The couple lived in a small village near newbury in berkshire. Mr barlow was the chairman of the local cricket club and the parish council, he has described as a pillar of the community. Mrs barlow was described as an amazing person. In terms of the Foreign Office here, they have changed their Travel Advice to uganda. A lot of tourists visit the country, they are advising against anything but Essential Travel to the south west of the country particularly the Queen Elizabeth National Park. They also anyone in that area should try to leave if it is safe for them to do so. The Foreign Office minister Andrew Mitchell has described the attack as saddening and shocking. Saddening and shocking. Simon, for now, saddening and shocking. Simon, for now. Thank saddening and shocking. Simon, for now.

Asylum seekers will return to the Bibby Stockholm Barge In Dorset today, more than two months after they were evacuated when Legionella Bacteria was found on board. Our South West England correspondent jenny kumah reports. The bibby stockholm arrived in portland injuly, but its been far from plain sailing for this vessel. Its aim was to be the governments Flagship Solution to the rising hotel bill for Asylum Seekers currently standing at around £8 million a day. The first men arrived in august, but five days later they were taken off the barge and taken to a hotel in devon. Legionella bacteria was found in the water system, the latest in a long line of issues holding the bibby stockholm back. How are you feeling about going back to the barge . It feels scary. Its good to be here, not on the barge. This man was one of the 39, moved on and then off again. Accommodation is offered on a no choice basis. He received a letter from the home office last week telling him he has to return. How would you say the barge compares to living here . This is like heaven, thats like hell. It was living like were alone, were feeling lonely, loneliness, and now here, we are attached to the people and to the different clubs like cricket club. We are feeling like we are living in the society. The people of its own town are dividing because of this and we all want the same thing. And thats no to the barge. The barges arrival this summer sparked protests. No hate, no fear, refugees are welcome here campaigners took the home office to court last week, arguing that the barge needed planning permission. Send your prison barge away the judge disagreed and threw the case out, but the fight against it continues. Human beings should be taken care of in communities, not on barges in portland port. So im deeply saddened that human beings are going to be subjected to what i believe is an inhumane way of housing people. The government says sites like this barge are more affordable and better for communities as health care and catering facilities are on site. The bbc understands that dozens more men from across the country are due to be moved on board in coming days. Now, we see that there will be 400 or 500 people. Very small area and it will be crowded. If there is a single virus, single disease, you know, everyone will be affected. Since its arrival in the summer, this has mainly been an empty vessel. This week, though, could signal a sea change in the governments battle against the migration challenge. Jenny kumar, bbc news, portland. Our correspondent Duncan Kennedyjoins us now. Duncan, good morning. Lots of people be interested in exactly how it is going to be for those who going back on board the bibby stockholm, the preparations. On board the bibby stockholm, the preparations preparations. They are going to be auoin back preparations. They are going to be going back on preparations. They are going to be going back on board preparations. They are going to be going back on board probably preparations. They are going to be i going back on board probably around lunchtime today. The original 39 that were taken off back in august when the Legionella Skirt took place. Since then the Home Office Said the vessel has been scrubbed out, chlorinated, retested and it is safe to go back on board. They describe it as functional combination, its not going to be like a hotel, more like student accommodation, Ensuite Facilities, laundry rooms, canteens and other facilities on board. Asjenny said, the first 39 today, possibly more tomorrow, building up quite possibly tomorrow, building up quite possibly to more than 500 over the course of the next few months. We understand from so local groups that there might be some protests here today, from some local groups, some of them welcoming Asylum Seekers, we have had a letter from Church Leaders saying they welcome these people they should not be put into inhumane conditions, but there could also be protests from local people who say that 500 single men aged between 18 and 65 is not the way to go for Community Cohesion and there could be problems if these sorts of men are allowed to just wander around. The home office say there will be more Police Protection here and in any case many of them during the day will be bussed to other places like weymouth so they will not be lingering around. Asjenny said in her package, this is a microcosm of a much bigger problem, what to do with the 51,000 Asylum Seekers currently in hotel rooms. The government say the way forward is using things like the bibby stockholm, other anti people saying thatis stockholm, other anti people saying that is not the way forward and there must be Better Solutions Like Fighting the gangs in france that are bringing these people ever in the first place. Are bringing these people ever in the first place the first place. Thank you for the moment, duncan.

Lets take a look at todays papers. President s biden visit to israel yesterday dominates the front pages. The mirror quotes the president s warning to israel not to make the same mistakes as the us after 9 11, alongside a photograph of a young boy injured in the Gaza Hospital explosion. The guardian also carries comments from President Biden during his visit to The Middle East, where he met israeli Prime Minister. The times reports that Benjamin Netanyahu has received private backing from President Biden to press ahead with a Ground Invasion of gaza, according to accounts of private meetings between the pair. The telegraph covers a speech made by king charles in london, in which he called civility and tolerance amid tensions over the war in israel. Letters have been sent to hundreds of thousands of people, telling them theyve been underpaid on their state pensions. Bens here with more.

I might be the most oular do about it . I might be the most popular person do about it . I might be the most popular person on do about it . I might be the most popular person on television do about it . I might be the most popular person on television this morning, its not often i get to stand here and tell people that people could be entitled to a share of £1 billion. Let me explain. This is a case of Computer Systems not talking to each other and as a result parents losing out, mostly mothers but also some fathers. If between 1978 and 2000 you stopped working to bring up children and claimed Child Benefit without putting your National Insurance number on the form, you might be missing out on some of your pension. Over 200,000 people are affected. The government believes they are now owed around £1 billion in total, thats an average of about £5,000 each. And its writing to them, prioritising those now in Their 60s And 70s who are already pensioners who might have been affected. Sadly, around 40,000 people within that group have since passed away but their families will be entitled to get the money instead. This whole issue of missing Pension Payments is something the former pensions minister, sir steve webb, has been campaigning on for years. The government have started Writing Letters but it will probably take them years to complete the process. And some women will get relatively small amounts, if they only had a few years at home with their children or if theyre on a good pension, but some of the women i have been able to help have got five figure sums in arrears. So it is a matter of urgency and really they need to be devoting a lot of energy to finding the people who have missed out, some of whom are no longer with us, so we are talking about paying to theirfamilies, and dealing with this issue urgently. If youre one of those people, firstly the government will increase your weekly pension to the correct amount, and then youll get a lump sum for the money youve missed out on in the past although you will have to pay a bit of income tax on that.

The metropolitan police have apologised after a 13 year old boy was surrounded by armed police in hackney and challenged for holding a water pistol, which they thought was a real gun. The teenager was forced off his bike by a police van and then handcuffed when he was confronted by the marksmen injuly. The alliance for Police Accountability have condemned his treatment its said the water pistol was unmistakably a toy. An internal investigation by the met police found no misconduct had been committed. Unacceptable safety risks are being taken at Euston Station because of overcrowding thats according to the rail regulator. The office of rail and road said there is a potential for more serious consequences as passengers surge towards their platfoms. It said thered been several incidents of concern in the summer when a lack of Crowd Control resulted in injuries. Network rail said measures were being taken a Ulez Enforcement Camera Van has been issued a fine of £110 for illegally parking on a pavement. It was spotted by an independent Borough Councillor for new malden, who Saw The Van Obstructing a Pedestrian Crossing in south west london. He said officers were not Above The Law so reported the vehicle. Transport for london said they would remind drivers of their responsibilities. A college in london says its the first in the uk to pilot a course on installing electric vehicle charging points. It follows concerns there wont be enough qualified installers to meet the governments charging point targets. About 300,000 chargers are expected to be available in the uk by 2030. This was driven by the need for installers now. So the idea that we can wait around four and five years for people to become competent, weve no longer got that luxury time now. That time has passed. Lets take a look at the tubes now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning, apart from a planned closure on the waterloo and city. Now onto the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Storm babet has brought some heavy rain and strong winds overnight, but you can see its progression northwards. It has cleared this morning but already coming in from the south, some showers and were going to see these showers through the day. Some of those can be quite heavy. Cloud breaking this afternoon. A few bright or sunny spells, mightjust hear a rumble or two of thunder. That breeze coming from the south is warm, 18 celsius, the maximum. Now, overnight, another area of low pressure coming in from the south is going to bring a spell of more heavy rain as we head through the early hours of friday morning. And the met office has issued a yellow Weather Warning for that heavy rain. Its valid from 6 00 tomorrow morning through to 8 00 tomorrow night. Now widely, we could be seeing 35 to 50 millimetres of rain in some locations, perhaps even more, so a very wet friday. The breeze a little bit lighter tomorrow and temperatures a little cooler, too, at 16 celsius. Now we see further spells of rain, some showers on saturday, eventually drier on sunday and temperatures a bit cooler. Thats all from us here at bbc london for now well be back in half an hour, but for now ill hand you back to charlie and naga. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. Lets bring you up to date with events in The Middle East. Up to 20 trucks of humanitarian aid will enter gaza, after egypt agreed to open up the rafah Border Crossing. The announcement was made by us President Joe Biden, following his visit to israel yesterday. He said the aid was unlikely to cross into gaza until friday and warned it will be stopped, if any of the supplies are confiscated by hamas which is regarded as a Terrorist Organisation by the uk. Rafah is now the only entry point for supplies, after israel shut all other crossings. Around 150 trucks carrying food, medicine and other aid are queuing on the egyptian side of the border, and palestinians have began to gather on The Other Side, in the hope of leaving before an expected Israeli Ground offensive. It comes as the Prime Minister rishi sunak is expected to land in tel aviv later this morning, to meet with the israeli Prime Minister and president. In a Statement Last night, he said the uk government will use whatever diplomatic levers they can, as quickly as they can to avoid further dangerous escalation of the conflict. Meanwhile, the Foreign Office has advised against all travel to lebanon over concerns the crisis could spread there. Heres our Diplomatic Correspondent, james landale. Demonstrations on the streets of beirut and istanbul scenes repeated in capitals across The Middle East and north africa. Anger against israel spreading far and wide. It wasnt always thus. In recent years, some arab leaders have signed deals with israel, brokered by the us, trading diplomatic relations for economic ties while ignoring the palestinians. Perhaps at some cost. The region is on tenterhooks and looking to avoid a broader war. There are a lot of Back Channels under way trying to bring down the temperature. Direct calls have taken place between tehran and riyadh, for example, but beyond that, qatar and other arab states are trying to de escalate. Take president sisi of egypt. He is desperate to avoid any fighting spilling overfrom gaza, threatening an already unstable part of his country. Egypt rejects using Military Force to eradicate the Palestinian Cause, he said. The forced displacement of palestinians from Gaza Into Egypt would set a concerning precedent. And then there is iran, where there were protests, too. Some fear it could escalate the crisis certainly ministers have hinted pro iranian militias Mightjoin Hamas in attacking israel. The leaders of the resistance, the Foreign Minister said, have declared they are ready for a face to face war with the zionist regime. But would that involve these fighters from hezbollah . Iranian backed militants designated terrorists by the west here training earlier this year. Would they attack israel from lebanon . Many analysts say a wider war is not in irans interests but. I think the risk is that there are members of this network of iranian partners and proxies that do not have the same kind of command and control and close coordination with tehran, and could take unilateral action, that could create the kind of tensions that could then spiral out of control. So worried about this is the United States that it has sent two Aircraft Carriers to the Eastern Mediterranean to deter hezbollah Launching Thousands of missiles against israel. One thing is clear the Palestinian Cause is once again being championed on arab streets and israel is being denounced. And for iran, that may be escalation enough. James landale, bbc news.

It was 1 1 after the first leg, but the European Experience of paris st german on home soil in paris was just too much and the United Defence couldnt keep out the ruthless parisiens. It was 3 1 on the night when Sandy Baltimore somehow beat the england keeper mary earps so 4 2 on aggregate and it means chelsea will be the only british team in the group stage after glasgow city were also eliminated after defeat in norway. Next to a significant moment in spain. Jenni hermoso, who was the player kissed by the then spanish football president after winning the world cup final, is back in the spain squad for the First Time Since the incident caused such an outcry. Hermoso said the kiss on the lips from Luis Rubiales was not consensual and he eventually resigned and was given a restraining order. Hermoso, who was given time away from the game after this, is back for her countrys Nation League games later this month and one of her most well known International Team mates wants the impact of what happened to be lasting. I want the people today, we want a better time. And i think the generations, they they fight for us. We have a better life today. The liverpool striker mohammed salah, who is from egypt, has taken to social media to speak out on the israel gaza conflict. He has called for World Leaders to come together to prevent further bloodshed. Its not always easy to speak in time like this. There has been too much violence and too much heartbreak and brutality. The escalation in the recent weeks is unbearable to witness. All lives are sacred and must be protected. The massacres need to stop. Families are being torn apart. Whats clear now is that humanitarian aid to gaza must be allowed immediately. The people there are in terrible conditions. The scenes at the Hospital Last Night were horrifying. The people of gaza need food, water and medical supplies urgently. Im calling the World Leaders to come together to prevent the further slaughter of innocent souls. Humanity must prevail. Newcastle united have confirmed their midfielder Sandro Tonali is being investigated by the italian Prosecutors Office and the Italian Football Federation in relation to alleged Illegal Betting activity.

If you are watching yesterday you would wash. If you are watching yesterday you would have seen some getting in the far you would have seen some getting in the far south east for tomorrow but tomorrows the far south east for tomorrow but tomorrows forecast is still uncertain because of the position of the next uncertain because of the position of the next area of low pressure coming our way the next area of low pressure coming our way but the next area of low pressure coming our way but if we focus on what we ot our way but if we focus on what we got at our way but if we focus on what we got at the our way but if we focus on what we got at the moment, parts of angus and south got at the moment, parts of angus and South Aberdeenshire could have as much and South Aberdeenshire could have as much as and South Aberdeenshire could have as much as two months worth of rainfall as much as two months worth of rainfall by as much as two months worth of rainfall by the time we get to tomorrow. If you are travelling across tomorrow. If you are travelling across england, wales and Northern Ireland, across england, wales and Northern Ireland, weve seen a lot of rain from ireland, weve seen a lot of rain from rotem one which is moving northwards, so expect a Surface Water northwards, so expect a Surface Water and northwards, so expect a Surface Water and spray and we also have showers water and spray and we also have showers across southern england and wales showers across southern england and wales and showers across southern england and wales and everything is moving northwards through the day and the rain becomes ensconced across northeast rain becomes ensconced across North East Scotland and we see a lot of showers North East Scotland and we see a lot of showers develop across england and wales and Northern Ireland. Some of those and wales and Northern Ireland. Some of those will be heavy and thundery and some of those will be heavy and thundery and some will merge to give longer downpours and some will merge to give longer downpours and the wind is going to be a feature and it will be a windy day where be a feature and it will be a windy day where ever you are the strongest winds day where ever you are the strongest winds will day where ever you are the strongest winds will be where we have the met office winds will be where we have the met office Amber Warning, which is one level office Amber Warning, which is one level down office Amber Warning, which is one level down from the red warning, so this is level down from the red warning, so this is where level down from the red warning, so this is where you can expect gusts of 70 this is where you can expect gusts of 70 miles this is where you can expect gusts of 70 miles an hour and on the coast of 70 miles an hour and on the coast of aberdeenshire and angus, we also have a of aberdeenshire and angus, we also have a wider of aberdeenshire and angus, we also have a wideramber of aberdeenshire and angus, we also have a wider amber Weather Warning for rain have a wider amber Weather Warning for rain across North East Scotland and another for rain across North East Scotland and another one across parts of the highlands. And another one across parts of the highlands, so we are talking about rainfall highlands, so we are talking about Rainfall Totals of roundabout hundred millimetres or may be more or may hundred millimetres or may be more or may be hundred millimetres or may be more or may be less, so again, exacerbating the Flooding Risk but this is exacerbating the Flooding Risk but this is the exacerbating the Flooding Risk but this is the area we are most concerned this is the area we are most concerned with, extensive flooding which concerned with, extensive flooding which is concerned with, extensive flooding which is quite possible and disruption, and a lot of the trains have disruption, and a lot of the trains have been disruption, and a lot of the trains have been cancelled. And the rain is still very have been cancelled. And the rain is still very much with us and then we pull in still very much with us and then we pull in the still very much with us and then we pull in the next and and its going to be pull in the next and and its going to be a pull in the next and and its going to be a wet pull in the next and and its going to be a wet night and once again its going to be a wet night and once again its going to be a windy night, especially across the north and the east where especially across the north and the east where we are looking at gales, but its east where we are looking at gales, but its not east where we are looking at gales, but its not going to be a cold night but its not going to be a cold night as but its not going to be a cold night. As we head through the course of tomorrow night. As we head through the course of tomorrow you can see whats happening. This is what is left of storm happening. This is what is left of storm babet and its this area of low pressure that gives us the positioning that might change, but at the positioning that might change, but at the moment it looks like tomorrow its going at the moment it looks like tomorrow its going to at the moment it looks like tomorrow its going to be wet across england and wales its going to be wet across england and wales and the rain is slowly easing and wales and the rain is slowly easing off and wales and the rain is slowly easing off across the north of scotland easing off across the north of scotland and through the day we will lose the scotland and through the day we will lose the gusts of 70 miles an hour plus but lose the gusts of 70 miles an hour plus but it lose the gusts of 70 miles an hour plus but it will still be windy wherever you are and as we take a quick wherever you are and as we take a quick look wherever you are and as we take a quick look into saturday, if the forecast quick look into saturday, if the forecast goes as we think it will, the low forecast goes as we think it will, the low pressure will push further north the low pressure will push further north with the low pressure will push further north with rain and it will be bright north with rain and it will be bright out to the west and although it will bright out to the west and although it will be bright out to the west and although it will be windy, it will not be as windy it will be windy, it will not be as windy and it will be windy, it will not be as windy and as we head through the rest of windy and as we head through the rest of the windy and as we head through the rest of the weekend, things will guieten rest of the weekend, things will quieten down slowly and the rain will ease quieten down slowly and the rain will ease up on the wind will ease and well will ease up on the wind will ease and well also see wintry showers on the tops and well also see wintry showers on the tops of and well also see wintry showers on the tops of the hills in scotland.

This will make sense, carol. Ten years ago, artist Grahame Hurd Wood set himself a mission to paint an individual portrait of every resident of the city he lives in. Fortunately for him, that city is st davids in pembrokeshire. Its the smallest in the uk, with about 1,800 residents. But, its still a huge challenge as our wales correspondent tomos morgan has been finding out. Putting life on canvas is an artists work. But even for the closest of friends, getting your portrait painted is a surreal experience. Grahames asked me, i dont know how many times and you know, you bump into. You turned him down . Well, ijust say, yeah, yeah, one day, one day, grahame. Its good to do it, because now i feel comfortable as well doing it. You just dont know what to expect, do you, you dont know if its going to be all stiff and. But its lovely, its very relaxing. Katy� s picture will be the next piece in grahames city of portraits project. The idea was to get maybe 80 on a big canvas onto a board and have it as a sort ofjust one piece of work, sort of an abstract painting from a distance. And as you get closer, you could actually see all the personalities. But the project grew when the artist lost his love, debbie, a decade ago. I sort of fell in love with my Tattoo Artist and unfortunately she had Breast Cancer and went to her brain and she didnt have a chance really. So i was with her throughout the whole process of her passing. Until she passed, which was very powerful. But i talked about doing the portraits and the idea was, she sort of said to me, if you can do 80, do 200, you know, its quite feasible to paint the city of st davids. The Landscape Artist by trade moved to st davids, the uks smallest city, around 40 years ago, Falling In Love with pembrokeshire after finishing his training at the Royal Academy in london. But its through this enormous body of work that hes become even closer and learned more about the citys inhabitants. Ive got one of this dear old, this Dear Old Gentleman who was a refugee in the war. And he sat looking through the window and just gently talked about what hed been through. And it was eight hours. Its therapy for me, its a focus, its a sense of purpose, its. Does it help you deal with the grief of losing. Yeah, initially it did, very much so. And it was. Im privileged to be able to do it. Might have another sitting . Yeah, sure, im excited. Here we go. Ok, lets have a look. Wow, grahame, thats so good well, people will definitely know thats me, i think ten years down, with half of st davids locals painted, and eventually the final touch will hopefully see these works displayed in this city hall. Ill tell you what, im going to. Im just going to keep doing them. Paint until the brush drops out of my hand. Tomos morgan, bbc news, st davids. They are really lovely. They are really nice and there is a complete display, that would be quite grand and have impact. Coming up later in the programme.

The metropolitan police have apologised after a 13 year old boy was surrounded by armed police in hackney and challenged for holding a water pistol which they thought was a real gun. The teenager was forced off his bike by a police van and then handcuffed as he was confronted by the marksmen injuly. The alliance for Police Accountability have condemned his treatment. Its said the water pistol was unmistakably a toy. An internal investigation by the met found no misconduct had been committed. Unacceptable safety risks are being taken at Euston Station because of overcrowding, thats according to the rail regulator. The office of rail and road said there is a potential for more serious consequences as passengers surge towards their platfoms. It said thered been several incidents of concern in the summer when a lack of Crowd Control resulted in injuries. Network rail said measures were being taken. A Ulez Enforcement Camera Van has been issued a fine of £110 for illegally parking on a pavement. It was spotted by an independent Borough Councillor for new malden who Saw The Van Obstructing a Pedestrian Crossing in south west london. He said officers were not Above The Law so reported the vehicle. Transport for london said they would remind drivers of their responsibilities. A college in london says its the first in the uk to pilot a course on installing electric vehicle charging points. It follows concerns there wont be enough qualified installers to meet the governments charging point targets. About 300,000 chargers are expected to be available in the uk by 2030. This was driven by the need for installers now. For Ev Installers now. So the idea that we can wait around four and five years for people to become competent, weve no longer got that luxury. Time now, that time has passed. Lets take a look at the tubes now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning. Now onto the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Storm babet has brought some heavy rain and strong winds overnight, but you can see its progression northwards. It has cleared this morning but already coming in from the south, some showers and were going to see these showers through the day. Some of those can be quite heavy. Cloud breaking this afternoon. A few bright or sunny spells, mightjust hear a rumble or two of thunder. That breeze coming from the south is warm, 18 celsius, the maximum. Now, overnight, another area of low pressure coming in from the south is going to bring a spell of more heavy rain as we head through the early hours of friday morning. And the met office has issued a yellow Weather Warning for that heavy rain. Its valid from 6 00 tomorrow morning through to 8 00 tomorrow night. Now widely, we could be seeing 35 to 50 millimetres of rain in some locations, perhaps even more, so a very wet friday. The breeze a little bit lighter tomorrow and temperatures a little cooler, too, at 16 celsius. Now we see further spells of rain, some showers on saturday, eventually drier on sunday and temperatures a bit cooler. Thats all from us here at bbc london for now. Well be back in half an hour. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. Our headlines today. Rishi sunak is due to arrive in israel this morning as part of a two day tour of The Middle East. President biden says a deal has been agreed to allow up to 20 lorries of humanitarian aid into gaza. A Severe Weather warning for parts of scotland as people are told to stay at home because of the risk to life. Bad Weather Warning is a red Weather Warning, the top level, for angus and aberdeenshire, disruption is very likely due to the very high level of rain. Further south, very likely due to the very high level of rain. Furthersouth, heavy and thundery showers. Its thursday 19th october. The Prime Minister, rishi sunak is expected to arrive in israel this morning, as part of a two day visit to The Middle East. He will meet his counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu. It comes as around 20 trucks of aid are expected to enter gaza after a deal announced by President Biden. Egypt has agreed to let the humanitarian supplies enter via the Rafah Crossing but its unlikely to happen until friday. Announcing the agreement, the us president warned that the aid would be stopped, if any supplies were taken by hamas which is regarded as a Terrorist Organisation by the uk. With the latest, heres our correspondent wyre davies. As trucks carrying aid queue on the egyptian side of gazas southern border, the un and International Aid agencies have become increasingly alarmed at the unfolding humanitarian crisis. On a visit to israel that lasted barely a day, while reaffirming his steadfast support, joe biden also pressed the case for aid for gazas 2. 5 million palestinian citizens, many of whom are struggling to get access to food, water and medical supplies. Then on the plane home, the president told reporters that a deal had been reached. Egypt had agreed to let an initial 20 trucks in through the Rafah Crossing. This has been a very blunt negotiation i have had, and so we want to get as many of the trucks out as possible, there is i guess 150 or something there, not all of them will go. The first tranche, if there is a second tranche, see how it goes. The aid will be delivered under un supervision with the president saying it might not arrive until friday. There was also a warning that it will stop if any is taken by hamas, which had been one of israels main concerns. We have said and the americans have said that there have to be safeguards in place to make sure that aid goes to the people its supposed to go to. Hamas are the only people in gaza with guns, its not like if they come to an oil tanker and say come here, theres much that you can do about it. But there have to be arrangements in place to make sure that that doesnt happen. Both israeli and palestinian officials are still blaming each other for a huge explosion at a Gaza Hospital that killed almost 500 people. President biden had earlier said that he believed israels version of events. As the dead were buried, the blame game continued and tensions rise ahead of what many assume is an inevitable Israeli Ground invasion of gaza. With almost 200 hostages held by hamas inside gaza, there are concerns that direct israeli action might jeopardise their safety. Their families will have taken some comfort after President Biden said he had also discussed their plight, saying he could not reveal details but there was no higher priority than their safe return. There will be more diplomatic visits in coming days including rishi sunak� s today, supporting israels right to self defence but also urging restraint with civilian populations when as expected Israeli Ground forces do go into gaza. Wyre davies, bbc news. In the last few minutes we understand that rishi sunak has arrived in israel this morning, in tel aviv, as part of the two day visit. Tel aviv, as part of the twoday visit. ~ ~. , visit. We know he will be meeting with the israeli visit. We know he will be meeting with the israeli prime visit.

We know that what he said in the commons yesterday, he has effectively two parts to his discussions there, one will be to express his condolences for the loss of life in israel and gaza, and also to look at the humanitarian aid corridor. You will know thatjoe biden made reference to that yesterday, the possibility that that might open soon. Lets talk now to our chief International Correspondent, lyse doucet, whos in southern israel. Lyse, good morning. The Prime Ministers visit, of course this follows President Biden has my comment yesterday. Follows President Biden has my comment yesterday. Yes, this is very much a time comment yesterday. Yes, this is very much a time when comment yesterday. Yes, this is very much a time when world comment yesterday. Yes, this is very much a time when World Leaders i comment yesterday. Yes, this is very | much a time when World Leaders dont just want to do something, they want to be seen to do something. Joe biden arrived in tel aviv yesterday and he said, i wanted to show very publicly which side i am on. And he made it clear, this was a visitor to show support for the state of israel, for its people, for its political and military leaders, although he did say that the palestinians were also suffering in the gaza strip and they needed aid urgently. And so too with rishi sunak. He will want to make it absolutely clear as he did yesterday in the House Of Commons that israel has a right to defend itself after the horrific atrocities committed by Hamas On October Seven here in israel. We dont know the full extent of his programme. He also may want to see some of the families desperate for news for their loved ones. We know the figures are keep changing but the latest we have is there are nine britons who are said to be missing. They could be hostages among the nearly 200 hostages among the nearly 200 hostages held by hamas and islamic jihad, orsimply an hostages held by hamas and islamic jihad, or simply an sadly that there remains have not been found. Rishi sunak� s tour has been described as a regional tour which means he will go on from israel to arab capitals. Joe biden was not able to visitjordan, that 4 way summit planned with egypt. That 4 way summit planned with egypt, jordan and the Palestinian Authority was cancelled because it was in the aftermath of that devastating bombing at the hospital. But rishi sunak would also want send a message to arab leaders, also allows a briton, that their views will be taken into consideration and britain is standing by them. Will be taken into consideration and britain is standing by them. Britain is standing by them. Also allies of britain. Britain is standing by them. Also allies of britain. Britain britain is standing by them. Also allies of britain. Britain is britain is standing by them. Also allies of britain. Britain is making i allies of britain. Britain is making an effort to be seen in the region. The Foreign Secretary James Cleverly is also there as well, visiting egypt. Is also there as well, visiting egypt, turkey and qatar, and those conversations in the background that is the hope that something in the region, amongst the leaders, that some breakthrough can come. So many countries are some breakthrough can come. So many countries are not some breakthrough can come. So many countries are notjust some breakthrough can come. So many countries are notjust interested some breakthrough can come. So many countries are notjust interested in i countries are notjust interested in what is happening, and deeply concerned about what is happening, but they also have interests in what is happening. James cleverly has beenin is happening. James cleverly has been in the region but he is now coming again and he will go to egypt where he will want to know more details about what egypt was my concerns are, why there have been these delays in want to know more about egypts concerns, why there have been delays in opening the crossing, egyptjust wants to know that it will be safe, the crossing has been hit four times by israeli air strikes since the conflict began. In qatar, hamas political leaders are based, but it is designated as a Terrorist Organisation by many western governments including the uk government but he will want to hear what the qataris hear from hamas, what the qataris hear from hamas, what is the way out, and what is the way to release the hostages . Hamas political leaders have said that they will release the captives if israel stops its bombardment but israel stops its bombardment but israel is not going to stop its bombardment. It will be interesting to see what rishi sunak says about the hostages today. President biden said that they would do Everything Possible to bring them home. But it is a very complicated and dangerous time as israel plans to that expected ground incursion, and as the same time, it wants to ensure that those hostages are notjust safe but that they come home alive at some at least to set they come home alive. Indeed, thank you, lyse. British citizens in lebanon are being urged to leave now by the Foreign Office, after hundreds of protesters gathered in support of gaza clashed with Security Forces outside the us embassy in beirut. Lets speak to our correspondent in Northern Israel, anna foster. The border with Northern Israel and lebanon is potentially seen as a flashpoint. Good morning, anna. This concern about british citizens in lebanon is one thing that has been emphasised by the Foreign Office, and this is following a number of disturbances, tell us what we know at this stage. Disturbances, tell us what we know at this stage at this stage. Thats right, charlie at this stage. Thats right, charlie. They at this stage. Thats right, charlie. They have at this stage. Thats right, charlie. They have been i at this stage. Thats right, i charlie. They have been real concerns about this border for more than a week now and we can see, it gives you a sense if you look behind me, you can see lebanon, i am standing in Northern Israel but this border is more than 100 kilometres long. It has been very active, there have been double the number of attacks from lebanon into israel than there were the day before and this normally takes the form of anti tank fire coming across the border by hezbollah, a strong ally of hamas, backed by iran, and a designated Terror Organisation by the uk government and many others around the world. The israelis respond, they sent fire back towards hezbollah positions in lebanon. Its right to say that the Foreign Office Travel Advice for lebanon has changed, telling british nationals not to go there and if they are there, leaving while commercial options are still available, while the airport is still functioning and while they can manage to get flights out. We have seen a lot of demonstrations in lebanon. Bear in mind that background that lebanon is a country in the grip of financial crisis, its infrastructure is slowly crumbling anyway. There is concern that this border could ignite and that this border could ignite and thatis that this border could ignite and that is another reason why James Cleverly the Foreign Secretary is here, Makingjourneys Cleverly the Foreign Secretary is here, Making Journeys As Lyse was describing to places like qatar, egypt and turkey, to try and prevent a regional war, to try and stop the spread of this conflict. They are taking it so seriously in Northern Israel that nearly 30 towns and villages along this border have been evacuated, and many soldiers have been brought in to shore things up, to try and make sure that there is not a new front in this war opening here in the north of israel. Here in the north of israel. Thank ou ve here in the north of israel. Thank you very much. Here in the north of israel. Thank you very much, anna. Here in the north of israel. Thank you very much, anna. More i here in the north of israel. Thank you very much, anna. More coverage on this programme throughout the morning this morning.

The 484 year old tree in acton park in wrexham, has stood since the reign of Queen Elizabeth i. As well as weathering many storms, it also survived being pillaged for firewood in 1940s post war britain. Previous winners include the sycamore gap tree, before it was illegally cut down last month. And that, carol, is a tree that will have seen many a storm in its 500 year life. It certainly will have and there is another storm across aaron shores today. Our shores. Storm babet making progress into scotland, lots of heavy rain overnight so there has been a lot of surface rain. The highest level of water a Weather Warning is in force at 6pm for aberdeenshire and angus, running until noon tomorrow, Expecting Torrential Rain expecting further disruption, following it is falling on saturated ground so flooding is a risk. Red warnings, we see one or two a year so they are quite rare. The rain has been falling through the course of the night, continuing to push into southern scotland, and we have got further show is coming in across south england and south wales at the moment. This will continue as we go to the day, the rain will continue to the day, the rain will continue to move north, and stored across North East Scotland so the Rainfall Totals will be mounting up. It will stall across North East Scotland. Showers and sunshine will be in abundance but they will be heavy and thundery in places and some of them will merge to give longer spells of rain. It will be windy today, particularly across the north and the east, and the met office has an amber Weather Warning, one down from the red warning, for aberdeenshire and angus. 70 miles an hour especially on the coast. You can see underneath that one, another one in North East Scotland and another across North Eastern parts of the highlands. A lot of rain on the cards today. It could cause disruption. This is where the red warning is, extensive flooding, disruption is likely, we have already seen some of that, and there will be blowing debris, and structural damage so take heed of the warning. The overnight conditions are windy, gusting with exposure in the north east, hanging on to the rain, and the rain is coming in across the south east tomorrow. As a result it is not going to be a cold night. You know what we were going to be a cold night. You know what we were just going to be a cold night.

Welsh water has admitted its been illegally releasing untreated sewage at dozens of Treatment Plants, for years. One of the worst performing facilities is in cardigan in west wales, where raw sewage has been discharged into an environmentally protected area near a rare dolphin habitat, for at least a decade. Our environment correspondent, jonah fisher has more. So the Sewage Treatment works is over behind us here. And the pipe with the treated sewage and the untreated sewage comes down underground and the end of the pipe is just where that sort of wooden structure is. Peter hammond is the water industrys worst nightmare. A mathematician and retired professor, he requests the Water Companys data and then analyses it to find out if theyre doing something wrong. If you get their data about what theyre doing at the Sewage Treatment works, they cant argue with it. In cardigan in west wales, he obtained flow and spill records from the local Treatment Plant. They showed that in the last five years its been regularly discharging untreated sewage when it should have been treating it for more than 1,100 days, it wasnt treating the sewage. It was actually dumping it out here when it should have been treating it. Were you shocked by what you found . Totally shocked. This is the worst sewage works ive come across in terms of illegal discharges. Its that bad . Its that bad. And ive looked at hundreds of sewage works in detail and thousands in sort of minor detail and this is i would say this is the worst in terms of illegality. Oh, its bubbling. And there it goes. At the other end of the pipe inside the sewage plant, they dont dispute professor hammonds analysis. Its a really unfortunate thing. Welsh water invited us in to hear their explanation. So these are the membranes below the surface. And the membranes keep getting blocked because saltwater is finding its way into the sewage system. So effectively, youve installed the wrong bit of kit here. Well, yes. First fitted in 2004, it could have been spilling for nearly 20 years. So why hasnt the Water Company fixed it . The Environmental Impact from this is what really matters in this situation. Whilst it has not been meeting its permit on a regular basis, there is no measurable Environmental Impact so its lower on the priority list. The untreated sewage spills into an estuary, which flows into cardigan bay, home to one of europes largest populations of bottlenose dolphins. So is the steady flow of untreated sewage having an impact . A nearby beach is tested throughout the summer and its Water Quality is consistently rated as excellent. I have seen a dolphin up there right in front of the bridge and a porpoise. But conservationists say there is no regular monitoring near the sewage outflow and they can see the health of the river fading. One of the particular things that we look at is the population of Atlantic Salmon on this river. Its an iconic species in wales. In 2021, Natural Resources wales actually reported that all rivers in wales were at risk for salmon to be extinct. The river is actually in the worst position of all those rivers. Natural resources wales is the regulator. It has known about the cardigan spills for at least eight years and has issued warnings but no fines. And it turns out cardigan isnt the only Treatment Plant spilling in breach of its permits. In terms of wales, we have about 101 sites which we are investigating and weve asked for additional information. All spilling illegally . Theyre all spilling above their permit requirements. Which is illegal. Yes, but were also looking at the data around that. So do welsh water accept the regulators figures . Thats higher than i recognise. But as i said. Im in the 40 to 50 mark. Thats still illegal, though, a breach of permit. Ourjob is to monitor against those permits and when we see that we are drifting away from those permits to take action. Action for cardigan means work will start in 2025 on a new Treatment Plant. So for quite possibly the next four years, the untreated sewage will keep bubbling out. Jonah fisher, bbc news in west wales. People living in areas covered by a red Weather Warning in the east of scotland, have been urged to avoid travel and stay at home today. Our reporter Steven Godden is in perth for us this morning. Good morning. It isnt a good morning good morning. It isnt a good morning for you, you are standing in the good morning.

Yes, we are starting to get the first indications it looks like. Yes, we are starting to get the first indications of it looks like. Yes, we are starting to get the first indications of this| to get the first indications of this storm coming through here in perth. People really trying to make their preparations for the much worst conditions that are coming. Peaking up conditions that are coming. Peaking up sandbags to shore up their properties in any way they can. The preparations are also on a much larger scale. Preparations are also on a much largerscale. Here preparations are also on a much larger scale. Here in perth, i am on the banks of the river tay and behind me is one of the big metal floodgates that they have closed, all the way along the length of the river in the city, to protect them from the surge that might come as a result of these conditions. These gates will stay closed for the next couple of days. I am in perth where an amberwarning couple of days. I am in perth where an Amber Warning kicked couple of days. I am in perth where an amberwarning kicked in couple of days. I am in perth where an Amber Warning kicked in at 6am this morning, but the real concern is further north between aberdeen and dundee, an area there where this red warning is due to come in at 6pm tonight. The messaging is very stark for people, they are saying, dont travel, stay at home. The police say that driving during this red warning period would be extremely dangerous. So simple message, dont go out. Getting around anyway is very difficult, most of the trains up and down this part of the country, the east coast, have been cancelled. Elsewhere in the country scotrail are saying there will be speed instructions, delays and cancellations. One of the big problems with this is this weather arrives so quickly after the previous storm which was just last week around the corner from here. There were properties flooded out, basically destroyed by the flood water, and yet here we are again, expectation is that it is going to be really tricky 21l hours in terms of rainfall particularly. The wind is an issue but rain is a really big problem we are expecting. Thank you, stehen. Problem we are expecting. Thank you, stephen we problem we are expecting. Thank you, stephen.

Paris fury will be here to tell us how she juggles it all, as she releases her second autobiography. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Hello, good morning from bbc london. Im victoria cook. The metropolitan police have apologised after a 13 year old boy was surrounded by armed police in hackney and challenged for holding a water pistol, which they thought was a real gun. The teenager was forced off his bike by a police van and then handcuffed as he was confronted by the marksmen injuly. The alliance for Police Accountability have condemned his treatment its said the water pistol was unmistakably a toy. An internal investigation by the met found no misconduct had been committed. Unacceptable safety risks are being taken at Euston Station because of overcrowding thats according to the rail regulator. The office of rail and road said there is a potential for more serious consequences as passengers surge towards their platfoms. It said thered been several incidents of concern in the summer when a lack of Crowd Control resulted in injuries. Network rail said measures were being taken. A Ulez Enforcement Camera Van has been issued a fine of £110 for illegally parking on a pavement. It was spotted by an independent Borough Councillor for new malden, who Saw The Van Obstructing a Pedestrian Crossing in south west london. He said officers were not Above The Law so reported the vehicle. Transport for london said they would remind drivers of their responsibilities. A college in london says its the first in the uk to pilot a course on installing electric vehicle charging points. It follows concerns there wont be enough qualified installers to meet the governments charging point targets. About 300,000 chargers are expected to be available in the uk by 2030. This was driven by the need for installers now. So the idea that we can wait around four and five years for people to become competent, weve no longer got that luxury time now. That time has passed. Lets take a look at the tubes now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning now onto the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Storm babet has brought some heavy rain and strong winds overnight, but you can see its progression northwards. It has cleared this morning but already coming in from the south, some showers and were going to see these showers through the day. Some of those can be quite heavy. Cloud breaking this afternoon. A few bright or sunny spells, mightjust hear a rumble or two of thunder. That breeze coming from the south is warm, 18 celsius, the maximum. Now, overnight, another area of low pressure coming in from the south is going to bring a spell of more heavy rain as we head through the early hours of friday morning. And the met office has issued a yellow Weather Warning for that heavy rain. Its valid from 6 00 tomorrow morning through to 8 00 tomorrow night. Now widely, we could be seeing 35 to 50 millimetres of rain in some locations, perhaps even more, so a very wet friday. The breeze a little bit lighter tomorrow and temperatures a little cooler, too, at 16 celsius. Now we see further spells of rain, some showers on saturday, eventually drier on sunday and temperatures a bit cooler. Thats all from us here at bbc london for now. Well be back in half an hour but for now, ill hand you back to charlie and naga hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. Lets bring you up to date with events in The Middle East. In the last half an hour, Prime Minister rishi sunak has arrived in israel, as part a two day visit to the region. He will meet his israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu and is expected to call for humanitarian aid to enter gaza as soon as possible and for british nationals trapped there to be able to leave. Following his own visit to israel yesterday, President Joe Biden announced up to 20 trucks of aid will be allowed into gaza, after egypt agreed to open up the rafah Border Crossing. But, he warned it will be stopped, if any of the supplies are confiscated by hamas which is regarded as a Terrorist Organisation by the uk. Rafah is now the only entry point for supplies, after israel shut all other crossings. Around 150 trucks carrying food, medicine and other aid are queuing on the egyptian side of the border. Meanwhile, the Foreign Office has advised against all travel to lebanon over concerns the crisis could spread there. Were joined now by security minister, Tom Tugendhat. Good morning to you.

They will learn from this and experience. They will learn from this and move forward. Manchester uniteds women, have come so far in the five years since they were re formed, but theyll have to wait to make a lasting impression in europe, after they were knocked out of this seasons Womens Champions League, 2nd qualifying round, by paris st germain.

There has been too much violence and too much heartbreak and brutality. The escalation in the recent weeks is unbearable to witness. All lives are sacred and must be protected. The massacres need to stop. Families are being torn apart. Whats clear now is that humanitarian aid to gaza must be allowed immediately. The people there are in terrible conditions. The scenes at the Hospital Last Night were horrifying. The people of gaza need food, water and medical supplies urgently. Im calling the World Leaders to come together to prevent the further slaughter of innocent souls. Humanity must prevail. Next to a significant moment in spain. Jenni hermoso, who was the player kissed by the then spanish football president after winning the world cup final, is back in the spain squad for the First Time Since the incident caused such an outcry. Hermoso said the kiss on the lips from Luis Rubiales was not consensual and he eventually resigned, and was given a restraining order. Hermoso, who was given time away from the game after this, is back for her countrys Nation League games, later this month, and one of her most well know International Team mates wants the impact of what happened to be lasting. To be treated like footballers and professional footballers, its that easy, like this.

That of rroin in the most risky way possible. That of going into in the most risky way possible. That of going into a in the most risky way possible. That of going into a ring where someone else is trying to hit his head. Im thinking, how do you deal with that . I know you get asked a lot, but how do the kids deal with it . Kids deal with things and they think about things differently, but are there times when they are fearful . There is risk, and even the older one, my oldest daughter, they wanted to come to the fight. The oldest girl is 14 and the next one down is 12 and they came to the last fight and i never wanted the Young Children to go to their dads fights because i think its not a place for children and theres too much going on and its too emotional and as they got older they asked to, and they got older they asked to, and they understood. I want to go, but i dont want to see my dad get hit. They understand the risk factors and the little ones, theyve watched it at home, we let them watch the boxing matches but when things have gone wrong they have cried and been emotional, so thats why i keep them away from the real life situation. You can always knock the television off. The kids are adaptable and they understand that their dad is a boxer. The little ones dont understand the risk aspect the older ones do and from my point of view, i worried from the beginning and i do to this day but i cant stop him doing his passion and thats what he enjoys doing and what he loves to do and its what fulfils them so i have to support him. And its what fulfils them so i have to support him to support him. With that support comes other to support him. With that support comes other thing to support him.

You have to be on a bed and healthy routine on that side of boxing is great and also shows a lot of respect. You shake hands before you fight and after it, theres no animosity with boxing. It teaches kids a lot of morals and respect so i think its great that way on the kids see that side as well and my youngest, middle youngest son, he loves it and is mad on it but the oldest one not so much.

Pariss book is available now. Time to get the news and travel where you are. Live from jerusalem, this is bbc news. British Prime Minister rishi sunak is in israel for talks about stopping the conflict spilling into the wider region. Egypt agrees it will allow humanitarian aid into gaza. Israel says it wont impede deliveries, as long as supplies do not reach hamas. Israeli forces and hezbollah Militants Exchange Fire across the southern lebanon border. Israel says its moved thousands of extra troops to the region. And back in washington after his trip to israel, President Biden says he had to be very blunt about the need to relieve the suffering of Palestinian Civilians. Hello. Im katya adler, and were broadcasting live from jerusalem. British Prime Minister rishi sunak has landed in tel aviv, starting a two day visit to The Middle East. Mr sunak is expected to meet his israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu and israeli president isaac herzog, for what he said on his arrival here he hoped would be productive meetings. This, after urging regional leaders to avoid further dangerous escalation. Well be speaking in a bit to our chief international corrspondent lyse doucet about what mr sunak can hope to achieve here. In gaza, meanwhile, egypt has agreed to let humanitarian supplies in via the Rafah Crossing. An initial convoy of 20 trucks of aid are expected to enter gaza after a deal announced by President Biden but its unlikely to happen until friday. Announcing the agreement, the us president warned that the aid convoys would be stopped if any supplies were confiscated by hamas, which governs gaza and is regarded as a Terrorist Organisation by the uk and us. We can bring you live pictures of gaza now. It isjust after 10 00 in the morning. Israels military says it hit hundreds of sites in gaza over the last 24 hours. Including in the south of the gaza strip in the last half hour. It says it has been targeting hamas infrastructure. With the latest, heres our correspondent wyre davies. As trucks carrying aid queue on the egyptian side of gazas southern border, the un and International Aid agencies have become increasingly alarmed at the unfolding humanitarian crisis. On a visit to israel that lasted barely a day, while reaffirming his steadfast support, joe biden also pressed the case for aid for gazas 2. 5 million palestinian citizens, many of whom are struggling to get access to food, water and medical supplies. Then on the plane home, the president told reporters that a deal had been reached. Egypt had agreed to let an initial 20 trucks in through the Rafah Crossing. This has been a very blunt negotiation i have had, and so, we want to get as many of the trucks out as possible, theres i guess 150 or something there, not all of them will go. The first tranche, if theres a second tranche, see how it goes. The aid will be delivered under un supervision, with the president saying it might not arrive until friday. There was also a warning that it will stop if any is taken by hamas, which had been one of israels main concerns. We have said and the americans have said that there have to be safeguards in place to make sure that aid goes to the people its supposed to go to. Now, hamas are the only people in gaza with guns, its not like if they come to an oil tanker and say come here, theres much that you can do about it. But there have to be arrangements in place to make sure that that doesnt happen. Both israeli and palestinian officials are still blaming each other for a huge explosion at a Gaza Hospital that killed almost 500 people. President biden had earlier said he believed israels version of events. As the dead were buried, the blame game continued and tensions rise, ahead of what many assume is an inevitable Israeli Ground invasion of gaza. With almost 200 hostages held by hamas inside gaza, there are concerns that direct israeli action might jeopardise their safety. Their families will have taken some comfort after President Biden said he had also discussed their plight, saying he could not reveal details, but there was no higher priority than their safe return. There will be more diplomatic visits in coming days, including rishi sunak� s today, supporting israels right to self defence, but also urging restraint with civilian populations when, as expected, Israeli Ground forces do go into gaza. Wyre davies, bbc news. From gaza now. Turning now to israels northern border, and there have been further cross border exchanges of fire between Israeli Forces and hezbollah militants in southern lebanon. The Israeli Military said rockets and anti tank missiles had been fired into israel. From southern lebanon. It said it responded with tank fire and a drone strike. Hezbollah, which is backed by iran, said two of its fighters were killed on wednesday and another wounded. These border skirmishes have raised concern in israel that it could face a two front war. Live now to our correspondent anna foster, who is on the israel lebanon border. Good morning to you. Good morning. How does it good morning to you. Good morning. How does it feel good morning to you. Good morning. How does it feel where good morning to you. Good morning. How does it feel where you good morning to you. Good morning. How does it feel where you are i good morning to you. Good morning. How does it feel where you are at i how does it feel where you are at the moment . Because we talk about cross border skirmishes, we are still talking about exchanges of fire of course between israels mighty military and hezbollah which has a huge arsenal itself, that the militia in southern lebanon, so the potential for escalation is militia in southern lebanon, so the potentialfor escalation is huge and thatis potentialfor escalation is huge and that is what both sides are thinking at the moment, right . Yes. That is what both sides are thinking at the moment, right . That is what both sides are thinking at the moment, right . Yes, you are absolutely right at the moment, right . Yes, you are absolutely right and at the moment, right . Yes, you are absolutely right and thats at the moment, right . Yes, you are absolutely right and thats why i absolutely right and thats why there is so much concern when you compare the size of hezbollah, the number of fighters it has come at the amount of firepower it has two its allies, hamas down in the south, hezbollah is a huge threat on this northern border. Thats why israel had moved so many of their troops, so many armoured vehicles and tanks and you see them when you travel along this border as i have been doing for several days now. What you see is empty communities, towns and villages within two kilometres of the border that had been evacuated almost completely, there are just soldiers there now and some local security teams. You see right along the roads where israel have really done what they can with their military to shore up this border. And it is also worth saying as well its interesting the point you make that this is always a tense place. It has been for years. But while we are talking about what is going on in the south around gaza, we see those constant rocket attacks from hamas and simile, we have seen the israeli air strikes, it doesnt normally happen like this on this border. Yes, it is tense, but you dont normally see these constant exchanges of fire, you dont normally see these engagements like this. And this is a really worrying upturn and i think thats why you are seeing so much International Diplomacy focusing on this border. Joe biden when he was here yesterday, the us president , he said very clearly come explicitly in his press conference to any hostile actor or state planning to attack israel, dont, dont, dont. Thats why they put Aircraft Carriers in the Eastern Mediterranean, thats why the uk Foreign Secretary James Cleverly is coming in parallel with the british Prime Minister rishi sunak, but he will go to qatar, turkey and egypt and his mission is very clear, to try and stop this conflict spreading and becoming a regional war. Conflict spreading and becoming a regional war conflict spreading and becoming a rerionalwar. , r regional war. Absolutely. And as you sa , well regional war. Absolutely. And as you say. Well israel regional war. Absolutely. And as you say, well israel has regional war. Absolutely. And as you say, well israel has emptied regional war. Absolutely. And as you say, well israel has emptied out i say, well israel has emptied out places where israelis are living close to that border with lebanon, it is moving more troops up to that border while israel. To what extent do you think we are in a situation where hezbollah feels it needs to be seen to be doing something because of that tense situation in gaza and those pictures seen around the world of the suffering of Palestinian Civilians bringing people out into the street in protest across the arab world, including into lebanon, and israel feels it needs to be seen to be firing back . And to what extent are we really on the edge of a possible escalation . Difficult to say with certainty, of course, but the sense you are .

Yes, it is a really key point and i think there are i you are . Yes, it is a really key point and i think there are two \ point and i think there are two things at play here. One is these constant exchanges of fire across the border because they are to an extent limited. They tend not to focus on civilian infrastructure, they tend to focus on military posts. They describe it as sort of the agreed rules of engagement on the agreed rules of engagement on the northern border as it were. The problem will be if something goes wrong, if there are a large number of civilian casualties on one side or another. A misstep, almost. And that could risk inflaming tensions. The other, as you rightly say, at what point does iran essentially, because hezbollah is backed by iran and iran are the ones who will really make the decisions about what hezbollah does. But youre right to say, what could that trigger be . I think the main thing that has been discussed is this Israeli Ground operation into gaza at which we have been talking about for well over a week now and which has not happened yet, but i think a lot of people might see that as the trigger point. I think the explosion at the hospital in gaza, again, i know there was a lot of concern the day before yesterday when that happens because people bought, will that be the inflammatory moment . But the rhetoric we are hearing from iran and what we are seeing in terms of what they are doing, the Iranian Foreign minister has been touring the region and has been in beirut talking to hezbollah� s leadership, they have been on social media saying the i have a Political Solutions is running out, they cannot stand by and watch palestinians in gaza be treated this way. And i think thats why there is so much tension. I think the accepted belief that a big moment could again be something that i say forces, it doesnt force, but in their minds, it would force hezbollah, iran to get involved in this conflict and that is what is causing so much worry here. Absolutely. We cant overemphasise how much the sense here and across The Middle East is that we are in a very perilous situation, where escalation could be round the corner. And we will be looking at all the diplomatic efforts a bit later in our programme. For now, thank you very much. Anna foster, and the israel lebanon border. We can now turn to the israel gaza border. Lyse doucet, who is in southern israel. We were just talking about tensions in the north. Of course, in the south, things remained tense at this very heightened sense ever since militants from the gaza strip crossed over into southern israel, killing moo people, taking 200 hostages into gaza, where they remain now. And israels military are saying they have continued striking gaza overnight and into this morning as well. Striking gaza overnight and into this morning as well. Yes, israel, there has this morning as well. Yes, israel, there has been this morning as well. Yes, israel, there has been no this morning as well. Yes, israel, there has been no letup this morning as well. Yes, israel, there has been no letup in this morning as well. Yes, israel, | there has been no letup in israels military operations, heavy bombardment overnight. People living in gaza have spoken of the nonstop bombardment since the beginning of this crisis, living under the attacks night and day. There were reports this morning that People Living in high rise residential blocks were told to leave and that those blocks were destroyed, so more families are on the streets now looking for shelter. Yesterday, the United Nations expressed concern there was still bombardment in the south of the gaza strip, which is where israel had ordered more thani million palestinians to flee, to flee from their homes in the north for their safety and protection. Israel said. But they are coming under bombardment, too. But i think this morning, so many gazans will be hoping against hope that that news that President Joe Biden has secured an agreement from israel and egypt to get the first convoy of trucks, 20 tracks in total, coming through that Rafah Crossing bringing some of that Rafah Crossing bringing some of that desperately needed aid, 20 trucks is not enough, but at least it is a beginning and that is what they will be hoping as they struggle to find shelter, water, food in these hours. figs to find shelter, water, food in these hours.

Israel, though, involved in brokering that agreement to allow in the age trucks has said, fuel is not allowed into the strip. The concern, says israel commits fuel could be diverted by hamas inside gaza. Says israel, is that fuel. Fuel is needed for water and water selling nation, right .

Yes, to pump the water. Our viewers may remember that some days ago during a phone call between Prime Minister netanyahu and President Joe Biden who was then in washington, it was announced there was an agreement that water could go into the Southern Gaza strip. The next day, we were told by the United Nations that the pumps only worked for three hours which would not be enough for the more than i million gazans desperate for water in the gazans desperate for water in the gaza strip. And as you mentioned, you do need electricity to be able to pump the water supplies. And that is needed in the north of gaza, too. So many families couldnt leave, wouldnt leave and there are hospitals in the north as well.

The us said not to expect those aid convoys to start entering the gaza strip until early as tomorrow, friday, and is then brought to people inside gaza, what about their safety . Because israel is continuing its air strikes, of course, there is renewed talks about a possible ground offensive, israel is still saying it wants to destroy hamas in the gaza strip, so how to separate the civilians and keep them safe while these military activities continue . ,. ,. , safe while these military activities continue . ,. ,. , , safe while these military activities continue . ,. ,. , continue .

Given what has happened so far, what we have heard from the far, what we have heard from the egyptians so far, it seems clear egyptians so far, it seems clear egypt wont open the Rafah Crossing unless it has guarantees that israel will not bomb it. The Rafah Crossing, the only way in and out of the gaza strip, has been bombed at least four times since this crisis erupted. Egypt has said it needs to keep its staff manning this passage say. Elliott strikes by israel destroyed some of the buildings. So today, they are going to begin the work festival in this extraordinary moment, there are very ordinary details of road safety. President biden said there are potholes and the access roads so his team on the ground working with repair teams to fix the roads and that is the first element of safety, making sure the trucks can safely reach the crossing. Then there is the issue of being absolutely sure there is an ironclad guarantee that that first convoy, we understand 20 trucks, wont come under israeli fire. Once it enters gaza, we havent got all the details, but we would expect Palestinian Health officials, civil servants, the United Nations, other aid agencies will quickly become involved in trying to distribute that aid. Because as we have been reporting, israel has made it absolutely clear, as did joe biden, if any of that aid is diverted by hamas, it. But as you know, it must be very difficult to distinguish who is hamas and who is not it will end it. Everyone has been seeking shelter. But it doesnt want it to go to the military wing. And israel has said it will allow aid only through that crossing and no aid will enter from through that crossing and no aid will enterfrom israel through that crossing and no aid will enter from israel until the captives, nearly 200 captives, israel a non israeli, 30 nationalities, were told, come home free. Israeli and non israeli. From the israel gaza border, lyse doucet, our International Correspondent talking about the conundrum of how to get much needed aid into gaza. Live now to our Diplomatic Correspondent, james landale. James, we have the british Prime Minister rishi sunak in israel today and one of his main aims, he has said, on his arrival, is ensuring that aid can arrive to the civilians of gaza as soon as possible. How likely is he to make that extra impact here . I likely is he to make that extra impact here . Impact here . I think on that particular impact here . I think on that particular point, impact here . I think on that particular point, he impact here . I think on that particular point, he is impact here . I think on that particular point, he is there | impact here . I think on that particular point, he is there simply to reinforce the deal and the message agreed by President Biden yesterday to say, this has to happen quickly. Because the United Nations made it very clear that the people of gaza need 100 trucks a day. Just an initial 20 will hardly touch the sides. So they are there to reinforce that message. In the way that he earns the right to reinforce that he earns the right to reinforce that message, if you like, is simply by his physical presence in israel. In all his public utterances since he arrived just a short while ago, every message has been about support and solidarity for israel. On social media, hejust said, iam in and solidarity for israel. On social media, hejust said, i am in israel, a nation in grief, i agree with you and stand with you against the evil thatis and stand with you against the evil that is terrorism. So hes standing with solidarity with israel, but that earns him the right to say, look, you need to crack on with opening up this humanitarian corridor. And his second message is he is explicitly saying, this hamas attack should not be coming in the words of downing street, it should not become a catalyst for further escalation for conflict in the region. And that is a message is much to israel as other players. Thats right, and after coming here and meeting israels Prime Minister and meeting israels Prime Minister and president , mr sunak is expected to meet arab leaders in the wider region. We have gotjames to meet arab leaders in the wider region. We have got James Cleverly the Foreign Secretary also across the Foreign Secretary also across the arab region. We often hear that phrase, a flurry of diplomatic activity. Orfrantic phrase, a flurry of diplomatic activity. Or frantic diplomacy. Phrase, a flurry of diplomatic activity. Orfrantic diplomacy. But there is that sense in the International Community, that time is running out, frantic is not an over exaggeration in this particular case right now . I over exaggeration in this particular case right now . Case right now . I think they know the have case right now . I think they know they have got case right now . I think they know they have got a case right now . I think they know they have got a window case right now . I think they know they have got a window of they have got a window of opportunity before the Israeli Ground incursion begins, as we expect it to at some stage. But they also know that they have got a bit of ground to regain since the explosion at the hospital because that has inflamed tensions, it has sent the hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets throughout The Middle East and north africa and various arab capitals. The room for manoeuvre for those middle eastern leaders that the Foreign Secretary is meeting today is constrained because they are now looking very carefully at their own public opinion. For many, many years, the palestinian issue has almost been put to one side by many middle eastern countries. Some of them have been keen to normalise relations and have done with israel, trading diplomatic relations in return for trade and security ties and sort of putting the palestinian issue to one side. That now has gone. I think you have now got the palestinian issue back right at the forefront and that is the issue that i thinkJames Cleverly will be talking to his counterparts when he travels around and say, yes, lets talk about today and say, yes, lets talk about today and hostages and aid and de escalation, but also, lets stop thinking about tomorrow and the future and what happens after that. James landale, thank you very much indeed. Lets speak to our Diplomatic Correspondent paul adams, whos here with me. We are talking about rishi sunak� s arrival and visit here, also very much in his mind is going to be the fate of british nationals who were taken hostage among the 200 israelis and dual nationals who were taken hostage by hamas and other militants brought into gaza on the 7th Of October. And also, gazans who have dual nationality, who hold british passports, the hope that they may be able to leave gaza to safety. Yes. Able to leave gaza to safety. Yes, we have seen able to leave gaza to safety. Yes, we have seen some able to leave gaza to safety. Yes, we have seen some of able to leave gaza to safety. Yes, we have seen some of those able to leave gaza to safety. Yes we have seen some of those people waving their british passports down there in Southern Gaza in recent days and clearly, that is one of the things that rishi sunak is going to be thinking about. Joe biden said very much the same yesterday, that the fate of us hostages and us dual nationals was very important to him. I think this is one of the elements thatis i think this is one of the elements that is complicating this already hideously complicated situation. The fact that there are so many people both among civilians trapped inside gaza, but also hostages being held inside gaza that whether it isjoe biden or rishi sunak or other World Leaders, they all want to try to the extent that it is even possible to secure their freedom and their safety. Are we likely to see hostages being released . That is clearly what they would like. Whether it is realistic, given the widely expected imminent Israeli Ground invasion and the fact that hamas are holding onto committee is a rather crude term, vital assets, it is very difficult to see holding onto macro it to use a rather crude term. It is a major concern. Rishi sunak is also talking about the aid situation. That remains incredibly unclear despite the announcement yesterday from joe biden that aid would finally start to roll tomorrow. We understand that the road in from the Rafah Crossing from egypt is being repaired today. And the trucks should be able to stop moving tomorrow. But where they 90, stop moving tomorrow. But where they go, who they reach, whether hamas can be prevented from accessing that aid, all of these things seem very unclear. If aid, all of these things seem very unclear. , , h, aid, all of these things seem very unclear. , ,. Unclear. It does. There is so much diplomacy unclear. It does. There is so much diplomacy going unclear. It does. There is so much diplomacy going on unclear. It does. There is so much diplomacy going on behind unclear. It does. There is so much diplomacy going on behind that, l diplomacy going on behind that, israel, egypt, the us, we have the uk here today, hamass role in gaza and where it lets the aid. Butjust on rishi sunak again, i think when we look back to the 7th Of October and that massive attack inside israel, the massacre of all of those people, 1400, that has really traumatised this nation, it was also a big attack for the uk. Nine missing, seven confirmed killed in that. That is considerable for the United Kingdom. The that. That is considerable for the United Kingdom. That. That is considerable for the United Kingdom. The israelis put out a tweet at some United Kingdom. The israelis put out a tweet at some point United Kingdom. The israelis put out a tweet at some point in United Kingdom. The israelis put out a tweet at some point in the United Kingdom. The israelis put out a tweet at some point in the last a tweet at some point in the last few days showing the number of nationalities affected by what happened on october the 7th. I seem to remember the figure of around 30 nationalities, 30 countries whose nationals have been in some way caught up in that awful violence. And i think in a way, the fact we are seeing so much International Attention is indicative of a desire on the part of many, many countries to try and use the small window of opportunity before the israelis go into trying to achieve something. Thank you so much. Youre watching bbc news, where we are keeping you up to date here injerusalem and across The Middle East. Do stay with us, we will be bringing you live updates throughout the day, of course, with paul adams, lyse doucet and our correspondent across the region. Hello there. Storm babet continues to push northwards across the uk. Its impacts are likely to be felt for much of the rest of the week. In fact, the met office has issued its highest level of alert, it is a rare red warning in force for rain valid from six oclock on thursday evening right through until midday on friday. It is for North Eastern areas of scotland, parts of angus and southern aberdeenshire. The totals are really going to start to stack up. The rain is quite widespread throughout the uk as we head through the rest of the week, but nowhere more so than across North Eastern areas of scotland where there could be as much as two months worth of rainfall by the end of the day on friday, around 200 to 250 millimetres of rain. And that heavy rain is moving northwards, this is storm babet, the winds are strengthening out towards the east coast of scotland, gusts of around 70 mph. The winds are lightening towards the south, turning drier here and it is a mild start to the day. But the temperatures are largely academic. And so that rain will continue to push northwards as we head through the morning. Sunshine and showers, some of the showers possibly heavy and thundery across england and wales. The rain turns heavy and very persistent, it lines with that strong south easterly wind as we head through the day on thursday and it will just through the day on thursday and it willjust keep coming as we commented into thursday night and friday morning itself. So that south easterly wind driving more rain, acting as a kind of conveyor belts. And there are wider and the Weather Warnings in force across scotland, anotherfor Weather Warnings in force across scotland, another for rain across caithness and sutherland. And this one is for winter. With that press south easterly winds, it is not the prevailing wind direction, so there could be trees down and likely to be impact from the strong gusty winds. Wind. This is of most concern within the red warning area, there could be extensive flooding, possibly deep fast flowing floodwater, may be some structural damage as well, some very tricky travelling conditions as well so dangerous for travel. And then we see a second area of low pressure, that will enhance the rainfall a little further on friday. But as that low pressure builds through, we still see these gusty winds towards the east coast. The focus of that rain will tend to be across central areas of england, down through parts of wales and particularly the south east of england as we head towards the end of the day. Still very windy for eastern coast, but at least the rain lightens across scotland. Do keep tuned for the forecast. This is bbc news. The headlines. The british Prime Minister, rishi sunak, is in israel for talks about stopping the conflict spilling into the wider region. Egypt has agreed it will allow humanitarian aid into gaza. Israel says it wont impede those deliveries, as long as supplies do not reach hamas. Israeli forces and hezbollah militants have exchanged fire across the lebanon border. Israel says its moved thousands of extra troops to the region. British Prime Minister rishi sunak has landed in tel aviv, starting a two day visit to The Middle East. Mr sunak is expected to meet his israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu and israeli president isaac herzog for what he said on arrival here he hoped would be productive meetings. This, after urging regional leaders to avoid further dangerous escalation. In the past few minutes, weve received rishi sunak� s comments as he landed in israel a little earlier. Good morning. Iam pleased good morning. I am pleased to be here in israel at this important time. Above all i am here to express my solidarity with the israeli people. You have suffered unspeakable horror effect act of terrorism and i want you to know the United Kingdom and i stand with you. Im looking forward to my meeting later today with the Prime Minister and president and i very much hope they will be productive meetings. Thank you again. Joining me now from london is sir mark lyall grant. He was the uks National Security adviser from 2015 2017 and was permanent representative of the uk to the United Nations from 2009 to 2015. Thank you so much Forjoining Us. Good morning. Thank you so much for oining us. Good morningfi thank you so much for oining us. Good morningh thank you so much for oining us. Good morning. Good morning. Rishi sunak arriving good morning. Good morning. Rishi sunak arriving saying good morning. Good morning. Rishi sunak arriving saying he good morning. Good morning. Rishi sunak arriving saying he wants good morning. Good morning. Rishi sunak arriving saying he wants to i sunak arriving saying he wants to urge middle east leaders to avoid escalation in the region, he wants to ensure much needed aid can now enter the gaza strip and reach civilians in the gaza strip. How difficult a visit is this going to be for him do you think . It is be for him do you think . It is certainly be for him do you think . It is certainly going be for him do you think . It is certainly going to be for him do you think . It is certainly going to be be for him do you think . It 3 certainly going to be a difficult visit, visiting a conflict zone always means that will be the case. But i think his messages will be obviously 100 solidarity with israel but also showing support for british nationals in israel but also in gaza, let alone the hostages, british hostages, in gaza as well. And he was totally he will certainly be wanting to dissuade regional countries getting directly involved. It is not yet clear what countries he will be visiting but i imagine he will go to perhaps the west bank, jordan, may be egypt, and James Cleverly is visiting some countries as well separately. That will be an Important Message. But i think there will be some messages also around the aid because President Bidens deal with israel and egypt is relatively limited, just talking about may be 20 trucks going through with humanitarian aid when there was Something Like 150 trucks lined up at the border. Also nothing was said about allowing foreign nationals out of gaza. I think that is something rishi sunak will probably want to pursue, whether the Rafah Crossing can be used to allow foreign nationals out of gaza, Something Like 1000 foreign nationals at least in gaza. Work to be done on the diplomatic front, but also in private i am sure the Prime Minister will be looking to urge netanyahu to conduct the inevitable [and incursion in a way that does land incursion in a way that does not further inflame the situation and that he does so in full respect of International Humanitarian law and the geneva convention. And he may also be asking the Prime Minister of israel, what is the day after looking like . Because at some point even after a land incursion the israeli troops will have to withdraw and what happens then . Indeed. So many points you raise but that really is a huge question because so many in the region are looking ahead to tomorrow, but you are right, what about the day after tomorrow . Israel says it wants still tomorrow . Israel says it wants still to go into gaza and it says to wipe out hamas. Is that possible . What happens to the gaza strip after that . Hamas is a militant organisation, labelled by many western governments as a Terrorist Organisation, but it also is the governor of the gaza strip, so who would take over in the gaza strip . The us, the uk, they are involved, but presumably you would need to buy in of arab leaders across the region as well. This is terribly complex. Absolutely. These are Big Questions that are not really being addressed in public at least, but in private on western governments will be considering very carefully. Because evenif considering very carefully. Because even if israel achieves its stated objective, which is to wipe out hamas as a Military Organisation and political force, hamas as a Military Organisation and politicalforce, and hamas as a Military Organisation and political force, and that is questionable whether that itself is achievable, even so, we still are left with a palestinian issue and what is going to happen after the conflict comes to an end . Unfortunately, given the terrorist activity and the fact it is a Terrorist Organisation, one has to admit hamas has already achieved one of its wider objectives which is to put the palestine issue back at the centre of regional and International Attention at a time when the arab neighbours and israel were seemingly losing interest in the palestinian question and beginning to normalise relations with israel, that is now very questionable way forward and the palestine issue has to be resolved. The palestine issue has to be resolved the palestine issue has to be resolved. ,. ,. ,. , resolved. Former uk National Security adviser, resolved. Former uk National Security adviser, sir resolved.

We heard from sir mark lyall grant, a huge list rishi lyall grant, a huge list rishi sunak, the british Prime Minister, will be wanting to address on his visit to israel today, and going to move on to the wider middle east region to talk to leaders, the status of british nationals being held hostage inside gaza, british passport holders among the palestinian civilian population that the uk wants to be able to get out. Where are we in those kinds of talks, do you know, behind the scenes . Of talks, do you know, behindthescenes . , , behindthescenes . Those issues, obviously. Behindthescenes . Those issues, obviously. The behindthescenes . Those issues, obviously, the prime behindthescenes . Those issues, obviously, the Prime Minister behindthescenes . Those issues, obviously, the Prime Minister rishi sunak is going to talk tojerusalem to talk to the israeli Prime Minister and on that issue he is going to urge, he says, we are told, to try to find a way to get foreign nationals, british citizens, british nationals, british citizens, british nationals, out of gaza as soon as possible. It depends on obviously what happens on the ground particularly at the Border Crossing at rafah with egypt. To that end, the British Foreign secretaryJames Cleverly is in egypt today specifically discussing those issues around the Border Crossing, around eight getting in and foreign citizens getting out aid getting in. We know there is the agreement from President Biden to get some aid across the border, limited amounts at this stage, but no talk at the minute of getting citizens back across the other way into egypt, out of gaza. On the issue of hostages, thatis of gaza. On the issue of hostages, that is a very sensitive issue of course, not something the Prime Minister talked about before he went to israel, but we know the Foreign Secretary will be travelling on from egypt to qatar and turkey and both of those places, the reason he is going there, those countries have lines of communication with the hamas leadership, the understanding is there have been discussions going on behind the scenes, particularly the qatar government, looking at trying to talk to hamas, to try to find ways to get the hostages released. That is what the Foreign Secretary says he will be discussing when he goes to turkey and qatar. There are multiple points of engagement, if you like, to try to address these issues. Absolutely, multi le address these issues. Absolutely, multiple points address these issues. Absolutely, multiple points of address these issues. Absolutely, multiple points of engagement, l address these issues. Absolutely,. Multiple points of engagement, from the uk, multiple points of engagement across the International Community as well as the British Foreign secretary being in egypt today, so is the secretary general of the United Nations, antonio guterres, but to what extent are these International Efforts aimed at not allowing the conflict to escalate further, aimed at helping the civilians in gaza . To what extent is the uk coordinating with International Partners . That certainly does International Partners . That certainly does seem International Partners . That certainly does seem to International Partners . That certainly does seem to be. International partners . Trust certainly does seem to be some coordination going on. What we see is particularly the major western powers, they have been, if you like, in step on this. We have seen President Biden there yesterday, which sunak today, the german chancellor has been, the french president Emmanuel Macron could be going soon as well rishi sunak today. Coordinated effort there, the biggest single most Important Message all of it sends is being there on the ground, showing support for israel, and its right to take action to defend itself, that is the primary message coming from that. You heard from President Biden about concerns about israels response, that they should learn lessons from the us� s own past history, rishi sunak talking about the importance of civilian. Preserving civilian life. He mentioned that in parliament yesterday. We understand he will talk about that with the israelis. All of this seems to be part of a coordinated pattern of events and there is a concern of course amongst all of those nations watching, first of all, for israel and its security, second, four civilians and those in gaza, and the third, for the wider region, and thatis third, for the wider region, and that is part of what will be discussed, particularly the discussions that will be happening with other nations, egypt, turkey, qatar, all of those places where there will be talks going on in pressing on and trying to limit any chances of this having some sort of overspill in pressing on. Absolutely, the overspill which is concerning notjust this region but the uk and the International Community at large. Damian grammaticas, thank you very much indeed. We can turn now to speak to dr sherifa zuhur. Director of the institute of middle eastern islamic and strategic studies. Thank you so much Forjoining Us. And strategic studies.

I j wonder if we could take a bit of a step back here, dr sherifa zuhur. We talk about hamas, hamas is labelled a Terrorist Organisation by the uk, the us and many western governments, it is a Military Organisation, militant organisation, it masterminded the huge attacks into israel on the 7th Of October, a massacre, unprecedented, taken 200 hostages into the gaza strip. As well as the military aspect, it has a political wing and also a charitable social wing, many hats, hamas. ,. ,. , charitable social wing, many hats, hamas. ,. ,. , hamas. Yes, it has many hats and it is also administrating hamas. Yes, it has many hats and it is also administrating gaza hamas. Yes, it has many hats and it is also administrating gaza for hamas. Yes, it has many hats and it is also administrating gaza for 17 is also administrating gaza for 17 years, so it is in fact the government of that area, paying teachers and all manner of workers in the municipality. And hamas is not today our grandfathers hamas or even the hamas of the last engagement with israel. It was founded first as a religious study organisation, resistance organisation. Had to compete with other parties and movements for the loyalties of young palestinians. So, armed resistance was a way to prove to them it was committed to the Palestinian Cause. If you remember, israel, you know, invaded lebanon, besieged beirut, succeeded in having the plo taken out and exiled to tunis. That left the way clear for hamas. And hamas was more trusted than years later after the organisation came back from tunis. It really did win the vote of the people, as much as they had a choice at the time. It might have very well won an election in the west bank if there was one. There was one. Yes, that is a question there was one. Yes, that is a question about there was one. Yes, that is a question about support there was one. Yes, that is a question about support for. There was one. Yes, that is a question about support for hamas also these days because hamas won a parliamentary election in 2006. An election has not been held in palestinian areas like that since then for a number of reasons. How is it viewed in the gaza strip . Yes, it governs the gaza strip, it pays wages, but israel says it carries out aerial bombing campaigns like we have seen now, the high civilian death toll, israel says hamas places itself amongst the civilian population, so how is it viewed . Does that create more unity and solidarity . Does it create division inside gaza . I solidarity . Does it create division inside gaza . Inside gaza . I think that in the west it has inside gaza . I think that in the west it has been inside gaza . I think that in the west it has been thought inside gaza . I think that in the west it has been thought not l inside gaza . I think that in the i west it has been thought not only inside gaza . I think that in the west it has been thought not only of hamas but also in the suez war, the tripartite war in which Great Britain and france and israel all believed that if they bombarded israel, egyptians would rise up, and they didnt, so gazans are not rising up against hamas because if they rise up it will be against israel. The slaughter. Now we are all much closer in terms of instant photographs, bombardment, and there are civilians, all kinds of civilian casualties, and these will worsen if there is a Ground Invasion, so i am afraid if anyone has the idea that palestinians will willingly reject hamas, that is not so. Mahmoud abbas is not that popular and part of it is not that popular and part of it is his security coordination with israel in the west bank so if the alternative on the day after two hamas. I dont see how that will work. Hamas. I dont see how that will work. ~ ,. , hamas. I dont see how that will work. ~ , hamas. I dont see how that will work. ~. ,. , work. When you say the Palestinian Authority of work. When you say the Palestinian Authority of mahmoud work. When you say the Palestinian Authority of mahmoud abus, work. When you say the Palestinian Authority of mahmoud abus, that i work. When you say the Palestinian Authority of mahmoud abus, that is j authority of mahmoud abus, that is the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas is the president in the west bank, palestinian areas of the west bank, palestinian areas of the west bank, and of course israel is saying it stated intention after the massacre unprecedented on its soil on the 7th Of October, it says it intends to wipe out hamas. Big questions as to what happens next if it is the case. As you say. Dr sherifa zuhur, thank you Forjoining Us to take the step back and have a look. We are getting news in, an announcement from the israeli minister of foreign affairs, at two hostages taken captive by hamas on the 7th Of October, two of the 200 hostages believed to be in gaza, two have been found dead. An 80 year old and her 12 year old granddaughter, thatis and her 12 year old granddaughter, that is what we have just heard from israels foreign ministry. We can return now to something we were talking about so much yesterday and that was the explosion at an overcrowded Gaza Hospital which is thought to have claimed 471 lives. That is according to the gaza health officials. They say there are still questions of course in the International Community as to who was to blame for the air strike. Israel says it was not then. Palestinian leaders say it absolutely was. We can turn now to our correspondent Merlyn Thomas to have more details on what the international thought and investigation is so far. Ever since the explosion happened at 7pm local time on tuesday, bbc verify were images and footage that have emerged. You can see exactly here on the map exactly where the hospital is located within gaza city. He had this footage shows what appears to be the courtyard car park of the hospital in flames. We have been able to establish that is exactly what it is from the shape of the building. Aljazeera tv station was one of the only one is broadcasting live from gaza at the time, you can see a series of bright lights in the sky. Israeli air force has said there was a failed rocket launch by Palestinian Militant Group islamichhad, you can see a bright flash, big fireball. Our verification teams have looked at the images and we can tell from skyline details such as the rooves and shape of the moves this was the main courtyard of the hospital. The roofs and shape of the roofs. Another thing we have seen, looking at, daylight images of what it looked like the next day. You can see quite a lot of fire damage to cars in the courtyard but most of the buildings surrounding it are less damaged and here you can see a relatively small crater. We have chinese images to several weapons experts and what they could not come to a firm conclusion they told us if the explosion had been caused by a bomb normally used by Israeli Forces the crater would have been much bigger and i would have been much more damage to the buildings we have shown these images. Another way of establishing what exactly hit and caused the explosion is by studying misaligned bomb fragments at the scene but the team on the ground and here have not been able to see any evidence studying missile and bomb fragments. When searching for something inside the crater we showed you earlier, the logo on the fast show they are from palestinian police, explosive ordnance unit, we dont know what they have recovered the logo on the vest. Islamic jihad has said it was caused by an Israeli Aerial bombing and they claim they have the remnants of the explosive warhead but we have not seen evidence of this yet. What is not in dispute is the very large number of casualties that occurred according to palestinian officials. Mostly we think those were people sheltering in the hospital, sleeping on the grass right here. To establish the truth of exactly what happened you would need an independent investigation but in an active war zone it is very unlikely to happen. Back to you. Merlyn thomas, thank you very much. From bbc verify. Looking at the still contested claims the Palestinian Authority is saying that israel was to blame for an explosion at an overcrowded Gaza Hospital in which it is said 471 people were killed. Israel says it has evidence that it has presented that actually it was the misfiring of a rocket by islamichhad militants in gaza that ended up affecting the hospital. We can cross now to book to the red cross about the worsening humanitarian situation inside gaza cross now to talk to. Humanitarian situation is catastrophic and hospitals are running out of medicines, fuel, there are a lot of issues to find food and water, and the utmost concern is of course the safety of civilians and workers. We were horrified by the images of the hospital. I have to admit, we keep repeating, the legal obligation in respecting civilians and hospitals and health care workers. Of course we are particularly concerned about hospitals when we get information and they asked to evacuate the hospital three times and they refused because they have patients they cannot move, there are no logistics to move babies in incubators, people nicu, ourteam said, we cannot leave behind patients. An impossible dilemma, leave your patient and go to safety or risk your life but without leaving your patients . We welcome any Health Worker bringing humanitarian aid to gaza state. We need to know what it means and what will change at the rafah border, we are talking about more than 2 million civilians running out of everything, and the humanitarian aid will make a difference of hundreds of thousands of people and again it is not only opening a gate for 24 hours, it is find a Sustainable Way to give hope to people who are running out of everything. We were hearing from a spokesperson there for the International Red cross and red crescent talking to us about the worsening humanitarian situation in gaza. Us President Joe Biden was here in israel yesterday and managed to broker an agreement between israel and egypt for an aid convoy of an initial 20 tracks to go into gaza to bring much needed food, water and medicines as well 20 trucks. It is not expected to enter until the earliest tomorrow. Uk Prime Minister rishi sunak arrived here in israel today, he will go to the wider region and he said he will push for the aid to reach the civilians of gaza. Lets hear from him now. Good morning. Im looking forward to my meeting is today with the Prime Minister and president and i very much hope they will be productive meetings. Thank you again. Will be productive meetings. Thank ou aaain. ,. , will be productive meetings. Thank ou aain. , will be productive meetings. Thank ouauain. , you again. That was rishi sunak, arrivin you again. That was rishi sunak, arriving in you again. That was rishi sunak, arriving in israel, you again. That was rishi sunak, arriving in israel, he you again. That was rishi sunak, arriving in israel, he is you again. That was rishi sunak, arriving in israel, he is meeting i arriving in israel, he is meeting israels Prime Minister and president , and he is expected to go on to the wider middle east region where he will speak with arab leaders as well. Meanwhile the Foreign Secretary of the ukJames Cleverly is also travelling around the arab world. Trying to express the arab world. Trying to express the uks desire as well as across the uks desire as well as across the International Community. We are seeing diplomatic efforts to try to in this volatile situation stop spreading across the region. As we heard earlierfrom our corresponded on the israel lebanon border, to the north of the country, an exchange of fire with hezbollah militants. That is raising great concern inside israel they may be fighting on two fronts, in the south with militants in gaza, and in the north with hezbollah militants who are backed and partly armed also by iran. The fact of irans involvement there is causing great consternation in the us and further across the International Community. There are those diplomatic concerns, concerns about the widening conflict, and also of course as we have been speaking this morning to our correspondence and people who know the situation on the ground, like just now from the red cross, there is the worsening humanitarian situation inside gaza. Since the 7th Of October, when militants from gaza that crossed over into israel carrying out an unprecedented attack, massacring 1400 people carrying out an unprecedented attack, massacring1400 people and taking up to 200 people hostage into the gaza strip, israel has tightened its siege on the gaza strip, no fuel, water, food or medical supplies have been coming in, and we have been bringing you pictures on the increasingly dire situation as israel has continued pounding the gaza strip with aerial bombardment. It says it never aims at civilians or civilian infrastructure. We can bring you live pictures of gaza now, the Aerial Bombardments have continued. But while israel says it is aiming its aerial strikes at hamas and hamas infrastructure, hamas and hamas infrastructure, hamas of course labelled a Terrorist Organisation by the us, uk and many other western governments, there has been a huge number of civilian casualties, men, women and children affected. Dont forget of course in gaza, overcrowded gaza, 50 of the population are under the age of 18. British Prime Minister rishi sunak here in israel today, asjoe biden the us president was here yesterday, urging israel to remember the rules of war, the rules of engagement, while they say israel has the right to defend itself, it must remember not all palestinians belong to hamas, civilians need protection. An expectation and initial aid convoy can enter through a jet into the gaza strip as of tomorrow morning through egypt. Very urgent talks across the region with International Representation across the region, trying to stop the situation from escalating. Stay with us on bbc news. We will keep you up to the very latest in the volatile situation. Live from jerusalem, this is bbc news. The british Prime Minister rishi sunak is in israel for talks about stopping the conflict spilling into the wider region and to express his solidarity for the country. Egypt agrees it will allow humanitarian aid into gaza. Israel says it wont impede deliveries, as long as supplies do not reach hamas. Israeli forces and hezbollah Militants Exchange Fire across the southern lebanon border. Israel says its moved thousands of extra troops to the region. And back in washington after his trip to israel, President Biden says he had to be very blunt about the need to relieve the suffering of Palestinian Civilians. Hello. Im katya adler, and were broadcasting live from jerusalem. The british Prime Minister rishi sunak has landed in tel aviv, starting a two day visit to The Middle East. Mr sunak is expected to meet his israeli
