People have been asked to move to from north gaza and thats the hospital and we are keeping an eye on what is happening there in these next pictures were going to so you are from southern israel. We have been seeing an intensification of air strikes been seeing an intensification of airstrikes in been seeing an intensification of air strikes in gaza and out of gaza to southern israel. We have heard the last couple of hours in the idf, the last couple of hours in the idf, the israeli spokesperson announcing and an expansion of their operations and an expansion of their operations and intensification of the Air Bombardment into gaza. Our correspondence have seen and heard the intensification of that bombing. Communications are down. And this will be keeping across the speed and this is the United Nations were expecting votes on resolutions and we will see whether they pass or not it will be back in new york a little later. These pictures and this is from earlier and these are the skyline of gaza where we hear the intensification of the air strikes from israel into gaza before we had that confirmation from the Idf Spokesperson for the intensification of operations being under way. Lets go live tojerusalem and our middle east correpondent, tom batemen. A significant gear change there tonight. A significant gear change there toniaht. ~ , tonight. Absolutely in the live ictures tonight. Absolutely in the live pictures we tonight. Absolutely in the live pictures we have tonight. Absolutely in the live pictures we have seen tonight. Absolutely in the live pictures we have seen from. Tonight. Absolutely in the live i pictures we have seen from the skyline in southern israel, cameras looking towards the gaza strip really show you a lot about this clear intensification of the aerial bombardment that comes after what daniel, the Military Spokesperson said was a very significant widening of their operations and talking about attacking what he called Underground Tunnels and Terrorist Infrastructure and that was being targeted with a very increased level of intensity and then went on to say there was a widening and expansion of Ground Operations. That is the part we cannot see and what appears to be complete Communications Blackout in the gaza strip and ive been trying to Contact People over the last three hours and i sent the message 6 1i0pm local time and that is four hours ago and that is still on whatsapp and this is a single tick and just trying to call people and send for the message is nothing getting through. Some people have communications and gaza and International Sim cards her egyptian european sim cards because sometimes they can hook up to the egyptian or they can hook up to the egyptian or the israeli Mobile Phone Masks if theyre the israeli Mobile Phone Masks if they� re close to the israeli Mobile Phone Masks if theyre close to those areas and it is possible this was a at the moment and also from aid agencies, action aid and others that he cannot reach the teams on the ground and its really worrying in terms of what is happening for ordinary people there, especially with the lack of information. I especially with the lack of information. Especially with the lack of information. ,. ,. ,. , information. I want to do two quick thins and information.

I want to do two quick things and i just watched a hold information. I want to do two quick things and ijust watched a hold on| things and ijust watched a hold on there and i want you to explain first of all the viewers that this is live pictures of you been watching in this thomas been talking about. Those intensification as of air strikes set from the pictures we are seeing a moment ago from earlier in the evening and these are live images and you can see exactly intensification that the idf has been referencing and talking about. And ijust want been referencing and talking about. And i just want to get a response from you on this. It is coming to us and adviser to israels prime minister. He said this, quote. We are beefing up the pressure on hamas and increasing the pressure they are under in our Military Operations are under in our Military Operations are under way and he said that to fox news and they will be on the Receiving End of our Military Blows and to have dismantled the Military Machine and dismantled the political structure in gaza. When were done, because it will be very different. To that, there will continue to be on the Receiving End of our Military Blows until we dissolve their Military Structure in gaza. But weve been Military Structure in gaza. Emit weve been hearing in a whole range of spokespeople over the past three weeks because that message is always been the case that it is about crushing hamas, notjust as a Military Organisation but also as a governments body as they have for 16 years been the governing force in gaza albeit under israeli blockade. I am not sure if it takes further on but when everyone is asking here is is this the start of a Ground Invasion and we do not know the answer to that. Or we can say is we can see which is very intensive and we know the Israeli Military has said in the widening for the operations but theyve been making limited rates and incursions from his last two weeks they seem to have stepped up last two to three days and i think what is new about this and i think what is new about this and very concerning for people on the ground the Communications Blackout but beyond that, it is very hard to speculate and the pictures are showing us what this is like and remember, these pictures are being shot from the israeli side there are a few locations in southern israel were cameras consume and and tend to be around towards gaza city and we can clearly see that there is very Intensive Bombardment going on. Yes. Intensive bombardment going on. Yes, ou can see Intensive Bombardment going on. Yes, you can see the Intensive Bombardment going on. Yes, you can see the pictures are black and distracts, weve been covering day after day in the reduction in fuel and electricity supplies in gaza that is why that picture is pretty black and occasionally lit up as you can see like that in the bombardment continues a couple weeks ago and the start of this exact same live feed and youll be able to see lights on in the buildings at the bottom of the screen and a lot more clearly but that has long since not been the case. Tom, we will speak to a correspondent again a little later. Lets try to get to the us now and should get the us reaction. Barbara, any comment there . Theyre never the commenting barbara, any comment there . Theyre never the commenting on barbara, any comment there . Theyre never the commenting on the never the commenting on the statements of the Ground Operations expanding in the white house spokesman and the Press Secretary of the pentagon said they are not going to directly talk about Israeli Military operations and that is something that the idf should talk about and white house spokesman said he did not want to be chiming in from washington about an israeli operation that he did not want to be saying anything that might affect Operational Security and theyre not really responding to whats going on and on the ground. And they are laser focused on making and on the ground. And they are laserfocused on making sure and on the ground. And they are laser focused on making sure they have the security they need to conduct the Military Campaign against hamas and are working very hard to try to get more humanitarian assistance and to gaza and they are very focused on trying to stop this conflict from spreading to a wider regional war and the Press Secretary said they are very much focused on making sure they can protect their troops and that the troops were not going to be in a position that would not be able to respond to that kind of situation and you know that the americans have been rushing the extra Defence Systems to the region and looking into the Persian Gulf Area they have troops in iraq and syria where they have been attacks against them by militias that are backed by iran and carrying out the air strikes in syria to respond to that. That is what the americans say they are focused on and they have continually backed israels right to strike hard at hamas and especially in the last week theyve talked about the need to protect civilians to make sure there humanitarian aid gets into gaza. To make sure there humanitarian aid gets into gaza gets into gaza. Thank you very much for that. Let us take you through the various different live feeds as we see explosions continue, this is the live feed of gaza that we have been doing for the last few minutes, the blackness because theres so little power and electricity in the flashes of light and the sounds of explosions as the air strikes intensify from israel and we have the official statement from the Idf Spokesperson saying that is the Ground Forces are expanding their operations tonight, as well as the air strikes intensifying, these industry experiencing right now, the idf are saying or targeting the underground network and secondly, Terrorist Infrastructure and weve reports tonight of missile fire in the opposite direction and so, hamas is saying rockets are fired at Southern Israeli Cities and hamas military wing, the brigade says Southern Israeli Cities being targeted with intense Missile Barrages and that, along with the intensification of air strikes from israel into gaza. This quickly show you some the other live feeds coming into us from the bbc. Let us go to gaza on the ground and we have the live feed from the hospital and this is the south of the gaza strip and the last few days, the cold to have people move from the north to the south by the israelis and that caused repeated by the Idf Spokesperson tonight, people asked to get out of gaza city in itself but, there have been air strikes in the southern hospitals are under strain we spoke to a Charity Aid Worker talking about the struggles in the hospital that does make hospitals there working in or crucially, the issue of fuel and trying to keep the lights on medical supplies in the right condition, powerful operation, very challenging and only ten aid trucks got in today and only ten aid trucks got in today and the need is hundreds. Next live feed on bbc news, this is southern israel and have been reports of missiles being fired by hamas in the southern israel and will be keeping across those pictures and also, we will head to new york and the live feed from the Un General Assembly because theyre floating in a couple of different resolutions with regards to what is happening and there has been one significant request byjordan requesting votes at about an hour and a cordis timer so on its resolutions and these solutions do not carry legal weight but they carry Political Force in two thirds of members to pass them and just to mark your card for the jordan one, it calls for an immediate sustainable humanitarian troop leading to hostilities. We have to have been voted on and we will get the reaction as soon as those votes take place in the United Nations in new york. Lets go to washington at Refugees International is a humanitarian organisation, thank you for coming on the programme. Ten trucks going into gaza today and what you make of that .

B, and weeks, we are talking hours. A couple of different areas and to focus on in deep diving into fuel, what is the situation and the repercussions and consequences . Across gaza, the debate for fuel continues to rage and there has not been a cohesive amenable agreement between the negotiators and the un and moving fuel across the border, most of the hang ups remain ramping able to check with that those it is pretty critical in the near term that all those parties come together and amenable approach and with you in tracking and verification method for moving fuel on a trial basis by the consequences are dire. We are seeing that though some it being tricked across, those who need to move that aid into Northern Gaza where it is critically needed, particularly in the face ofjust abject isolation, is not enough fuel to move those trucks are to get a to b areas most needed, there is no sufficient amount of fuel and we get to hospitals and shelters for it is critical, restraint is the impacts i spoke with partners on the ground and noted that in several hospitals in Northern Gaza in the class because of that electricity is running out and electricity is Criticaljust Running Out and electricity is critical just to running out and electricity is criticaljust to run the machines that are necessary for keeping out of the care of patients alive as well as neonatal cases.

Thank you very much and thank you for coming on. Taking you through to the un ensuring give the United Nations or what is to set in there, we have had the result of the resolution posed byjordan on behalf of the arab group and 120 voted in favour, 1a against, 45 extensions and what it calls for is this, it calls for humanitarian troops in gaza and immediate humanitarian truce in gaza and are not legally binding but they do carry a lot of moral, politicalweight binding but they do carry a lot of moral, political weight because it is the United Nations. In the last ten minutes or so, as we have been on air, that resolution is past a moose he would political impact that is on the region and around the world. Plenty more coverage coming up, to stay with us here. This is bbc news. Hello there. Good evening. The unsettled conditions will continue as we head through this weekend and into next week. It wont be raining all the time but, of course, the ground pretty saturated in many areas, particularly here in central and eastern areas of scotland. For the next few days, heavy, Thundery Scotland for downpours across quite a wide area of the uk again. Blustery winds, too. And if we just take a look at the Rainfall Accumulation Chart for the next few days, you can see just how extensive that wet weather is likely to be. Drier, though, for western scotland, but where we see those bright colours again for Eastern Scotland over the high ground, there could be another 50 to 100 millimetres of rain. Why is it happening . Well, low pressure is centred out to the west of ireland, sending bands of showers spiralling around it. Brisk south easterly winds again overnight tonight, just pushing these showers on shore into Central Eastern areas of scotland. A constant stream of showers here. Clearer spells further south, and the winds will start to pick up, with another rash of showers approaching the south coast of england by the end of the night. Overnight lows of around seven to 11 degrees celsius. Another mild start to saturday morning. There could be a bit of mist perhaps over the pennines tomorrow morning and for North Eastern areas of england, but the mist and fog wont be as extensive as it was earlier on this morning. Thats simply because its a lot windier. So some more showers feeding into Eastern Scotland through the day tomorrow. Showers further south. Heavy, persistent rain moving into South West England and south wales by the time we get to the end of the afternoon. Some squally gusts of wind, too, developing east of the isle of wight, across the kent and sussex coasts. There could be some gusts of 50 60 mph along with some very wet weather on saturday evening. That rain pushing further northwards as we head through Saturday Night and into sunday morning. So its a wet start to the day on sunday for northern ireland, Northern England and southern scotland. Some more rain, as you can see, across eastern areas of scotland. A cold northerly wind. Very blustery conditions for northern scotland. Sunshine and showers again for much of england and wales throughout the day. Temperatures here, 11 to 15 degrees celsius. Theyre not due to move very much. Now, low pressure stays close by as we head into the start of next week, so more bands of showers spiralling around, certainly a lot more wet weather. Heres the outlook for our Capital Cities as we head through the week possibly stormy conditions again on wednesday into thursday. Hello, im lewis vaughanjones. Youre watching the context on bbc news.
