in singapore... ..this is bbc news. it's newsday. hi there, thank you for being with us. israel has confirmed that it hit the jabalia refugee camp in northern gaza. the hamas—run gazan health ministry says at least 50 people were killed and hundreds injured. the palestinian red crescent told the bbc at least 25 civilians were killed. the israeli army says the strike killed a senior hamas commander. a hamas spokesman has denied the presence of one of its leaders in the camp. before the war, the camp was home to more than 100,000 people. many of them have been there for generations since the formation of the state of israel in 1948. bbc verify have located the exact position of the blast, which you can see here — and you can see how built up it is. more now from our international editorjeremy bowen — and a warning, his report contains images some may find distressing. israel says the destruction came from air strikes that killed a senior hamas commander and some of his men. it said hamas was using these civilians as human shields in a cruel and brutal manner and that the air strikes caused the collapse of underground hamas bunkers. israel ordered civilians to leave this area. many did. many others did not. the un said some people even returned to their homes because conditions further south were so desperate. an unknown number of people are buried under the rubble. they were pulling out children. he says, "oh, god, my three children are gone. "three kids. "i hope i can find one of them alive. "i didn't bid them farewell." jabalia camp coversjust over half a square mile. 116,000 refugees were registered here with the un before the war. he says, "it's a massacre. "30 to a0 homes blown to pieces, bodies everywhere. "everyone�*s looking for their beloved ones." the local hospital was overwhelmed with casualties. the surgical director sent the bbc this video. he said they'd done 15 to 20 amputations. patients, he said, arrived packed into ambulances with the wounded alongside the dead. we received about 400 injured patients between very seriously injured patients and murdered. as you see, the majority of them are children and women. dr elron told me around 120 dead from this afternoon's attack are at the hospital. they ran out of space inside the building. hamas released these pictures of their men emerging from part of their extensive tunnel network. it's hard to work out with any precision what's happening in the ground war. both sides claim to have killed their enemies. hamas will try to use hit and run guerrilla hit—and—run guerrilla tactics against a much more powerful army. israel released these pictures. it seems clear they're pressing forward. some reports say they're closer to gaza city without entering it yet. moving through relatively open villages is much less of a military challenge than advancing into a city. on their side of the gaza border, israel has plenty of force in reserve and, it says, a long fight ahead. we don't have much detail about what the israelis are doing inside gaza. they are working very hard to control the information battlefield, which is a big part of modern war. they are releasing some video and some generalized communiques about success, but they are minimising access. jabalia will fuel the controversy about killing palestinian civilians. unintentional casualties, israel says, in a just war. america warned israel not to be blinded by rage. and palestinians believe israel is inflicting another catastrophe on them. jeremy bowen, bbc news, southern israel. the united nations�* children's agency unicef said that gaza was becoming a graveyard for children — and that it feared what it called �*generational trauma' was being caused by israel's bombardment and siege of the territory. israel says it is targeting hamas. our special correspondent fergal keane has been working with mahmoud bassam, a journalist in gaza filming for the bbc. he has this report on the tragedy of one family. once he had a home. once he had a family. now he picks through the rubble for fragments of the past. khalil lost his four children and seven other members of his family. here he shows a bbc journalist pyjamas worn by his 18—month—old daughter, rosa. khalil gave us this slow motion video of rosa dancing. the same blue pyjamas, but in a world that has gone forever. the family was trapped under this rubble in a neighbourhood in rafah. it's next to el—najar hospital, where every day of this war the staff receive the wounded and the dead. and where khalil works and was on duty on the night his family became casualties. translation: a massivej bomb exploded that night and our neighbours started showing up at the hospital, so i asked where was the bombing. they told me it was around my house. i had to run to the house to check on the family. i tried calling, but no—one was answering. and, as you can see, the whole house was bombed. the remnants of childhood. when khalil was the father of living children. translation: my oldest child, ebrahim. _ this is my dad, may his soul rest in peace. this is amal, and this is kinan. this is masa, a cousin. this is lina, a cousin. they loved each other so much. khalil�*s sister is still buried under the rubble, his wife is in hospital badly wounded and his days are filled with longing. translation: i had a dream for each of my kids. - ebrahim was first in his school and i dreamt of seeing him as a doctor one day. and now they are all gone. khalil, a father, always. virgo keene, bbc news, jeremy konyndyk is president of the humanitarian organisation refugees international. he also served previously in the 0bama administration. he gave me his reaction to the attack on the jabalia refugee camp. disproportionate and unjustified, and as such, this approach to targeting, even if there were a legitimate military target, as the idf alleges, would be illegal and is illegal under international law because it completely disregards the civilian harm that was created by the attack. and so, it violates the laws of war for that reason and is clearly a war crime. well, israel's president has told the bbc that they are trying to minimise the civilian casualties. but because of all these bombings, what exactly is the scale of displacement for refugees and also aid workers in gaza? the scale of displacement now is enormous. there was one report, i think, from the economist earlier today or yesterday that estimates about 10% of the housing stock in all of gaza has been destroyed. that is not indicative of an operation that is making any serious attempt to minimise civilian casualties and civilian harm. and it really frankly makes a mockery of the repeated entreaties by the us government, including by president biden to the israeli government and to president netanyahu, to minimise civilian harm and to abide by international law. president biden first called for this three weeks ago in his speech on october the 10th. there's no indication that the israelis are listening that the israelis are listening. well, the us and israel have been reportedly discussing about how to get aid into gaza. they've said that up to 100 trucks are needed, but it's not there yet. what exactly, what supplies are you hearing are most needed in gaza right now? well, everything is needed in gaza right now. they need shelter materials, they need medical supplies, they need food. they need water more than perhaps anything else. they need food, they need water. more than perhaps anything else, they need fuel to run all the rest of it, because without fuel, you can't distribute the aid. you can't run the bakeries, you can't run the distribution trucks and you can't run the water facilities. but i think what that underscores is that aid is not the most important humanitarian priority right now. the most important humanitarian priority right now is respect for the laws of war. the united states has started buying japanese seafood to supply its military there, in what the us ambassador rahm emanuel describes as a way to push back at economic coercion by china. it's been just over two months since japan started to release treated waste water from its damaged fukushima power plant into the pacific ocean — and while the un's nuclear watchdog says the water is safe, a seafood ban from china, which had been the biggest buyer, remains in place. it's not the first spat between china and the high—profile ambassador, a former chief of staff to president 0bama and mayor of chicago. in recent months, he has infuriated beijing with social media posts that taunted president xi and joked about the unexplained disappearance of chinese ministers. ambassador rahm emanuel joins me now from tokyo. thank you so much forjoining us on tuesday this morning. many of our peers injapan with government the root operation friends from the 2011 tsunami, and they're tracing your seafood diplomacy, if you like. who exactly is the message for clermontjapan or china? who exactly is the message for clermont japan or china?- clermont japan or china? well, both. clermont japan or china? well, both- more _ clermont japan or china? well, both. more for— clermont japan or china? well, both. more forjapan. - clermont japan or china? well, both. more forjapan. when - clermont japan or china? well, | both. more forjapan. when our friends need us, we stand shoulder to shoulder and will not be right by them. this is the case, as i think you know, not only is china band all the fish from japan waters, but also, it's still fishing in japan's waters. that's economic conversion to me. australian, lithuania, the philippines have been a target of coercion. this is a classic case of the us armed forces. ten years ago, when fukushima happened with the nuclear plant, we came and helped. this is in the spirit of coming to japan's defence. i met with the fisherman and the co—ops. this is basic economic, coercion. we're going to make sure our armed forces are here injapan and help those communities. and it's good for the members of the armed forces, theirfamilies, and forces, their families, and we'll forces, theirfamilies, and we'll be by their side every step of the way.— we'll be by their side every step of the way. you have been very vocal _ step of the way. you have been very vocal about _ step of the way. you have been very vocal about china - step of the way. you have been very vocal about china and - very vocal about china and publicly, beijing has a high—profile figure, but also popular in beijing. china's foreign ministry said in september you were "smearing china and should stop being biased in favour of and condoning japan's irresponsible behaviour." it response? ha. behaviour." it response? no. let's fast-forward _ behaviour." it response? no. let's fast-forward here. - behaviour.�* it response? no. let's fast-forward here. i- let's fast—forward here. i think is important for your viewers. in the japan situation, there are a set of protocols. fully transparent, scientifically based operations to ensure the water is safe and constant monitoring. go back to the start of covid, the chinese protocols — totally blocking international information, no scientifically based information and not all transparent. you and i sitting here somewhere in the next five years, god forbid there's going to the international situation that exposes the rest the world. you want the japan protocol scientific, medical, transparent, internationally observed, or the covid wuhan example by china? i would hope the country the future will look at japan the country the future will look atjapan and say the country the future will look at japan and say that is the appropriate way to do it. secondly, china has also been hypocritical in banning all the fish notjust hypocritical in banning all the fish not just from hypocritical in banning all the fish notjust from fukushima, but from alljapan, and are still fishing in their waters. that is what economic coercion is. australia, the world came to their aid. when philippines's bananas were rotting on the courts of china, japan responded. every country that has allies is the best response to economic cell coercion by china. it's to come to their assistance. that's what the united states will do for our ally and our friends here injapan like aside from fish diplomacy, you have been quite vocal about president xi jinping and about some of the missing ministers. there were reports of repose missing ministers. there were reports of repos- reports of repose about these ministers _ reports of repose about these ministers that _ reports of repose about these ministers that a _ reports of repose about these ministers that a white - reports of repose about these ministers that a white house | ministers that a white house officials were trying to rein in your social media talking of china. is there any truth to that and did the white house ask you to halt?— that and did the white house ask you to halt? now, there's no truth to — ask you to halt? now, there's no truth to that. _ ask you to halt? now, there's no truth to that. that - ask you to halt? now, there's no truth to that. that said, i no truth to that. that said, let's go back. try to put out the us armed forces are responsible for the mali fires. false. china put out the united states armed forces workers liable for covid. false. china put out that lithuania, a lot and you and estonia were not real countries. false. isaid to minister defence have not been heard from. true. that is just what it is and maybe, the truth sometimes stinks. without being honest about something, i do think it's very important. the minister of defence, and a country that has 500 nuclear weapons, you owe something to the world about who to call the god forbid something happens? so i did call he had not been seen, happens to be true, recognise just two days ago by china that he is on. everything they said otherwise was false. ambassador rahm emanuel... thank you. ambassador rahm emanuel... thank yon-— thank you. thank you so much forjoining _ thank you. thank you so much forjoining us— thank you. thank you so much forjoining us on _ thank you. thank you so much forjoining us on tuesday. - around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. —— on newsday. let's look at some other stories making news. xl bully dogs will be formally banned in the uk by the new year. ministers announced the dog will be added to the list of banned breeds, under the dangerous dogs act. of banned breeds under the dangerous dogs act. xl bully owners have untiljanuary to apply for an exemption to keep their pet. if it's granted, they'll have to keep the dog muzzled and on a lead when it's in public. the english ice hockey association says from next year, it will be mandatory for players to wear neck guards. the announcement was made following the death of american ice hockey player adam johnson. his neck was cut by a skate blade during a game in sheffield on saturday. police are investigating. assisted dying on the the isle of man could move a step closer as draft legislation is debated in parliament. the plans would see residents with a terminal illness — and no more than six months to live — given the right to end their lives with help. you're live with bbc news. let's get back to the situation in the gaza strip. hamas has said it's told mediators it will release some foreign captives in the coming days. the comments were made in a video on its telegram account. public pressure is growing on israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu to secure the release of the more than 230 hostages still being held since the 7th of october. 0ur middle east correspondent lucy williamson has been talking to one man whose family was taken. and a warning, this report contains flashing images. kibbutz be'eri, three miles from gaza, never felt like the front line of a conflict. wow. look at this. it looks like one now. my god. no way. seven members of gilad's family were taken from this house. let's see the shelter. look at this. no way. it's the first time he's seen it since the attack. the front door, riddled with bullet holes. look at this. how they hate us. how. in the charred remains of the house, no sign of bodies. the door to the safe room held fast, but the steel shutters outside were blown open. the family gone. horror movies from the hamas attack here on the 7th of october were filmed in the street outside. gilad has watched them again and again for signs of his son, daughter in law or grandchildren. explosions. now the sounds of israel's bombardment of gaza land in the empty street. what's really difficult is just the scale of this destruction, taking it all in, walking around this house, looking for any scrap of normal life. it's really difficult to find. there's a few burnt out kitchen appliances here, but really, that's about it. and not only have the walls been shattered and knocked through, but there seems to be wanton violence peppered over this house, bullet holes on this wall, seemingly with no purpose. looking at this, what's striking is that people felt safe living here, so close to gaza. and what's been broken is not just the veneer of peace and their own family home, but also the promise that was made to them by the israeli government to keep them safe. i think a lot of people will not return, even because the memories. do you think it was a fantasy, the feeling of safety here, an illusion? for 25 years, yes, it was illusion. i mean, this is what everybody thought about safety. and we are strong. there are those in israel who say getting the hostages out of gaza is worth paying any price, including releasing palestinian prisoners from israeli jails. 0thers point out that the man israel says planned this attack was himself released in a previous prisoner exchange. the question facing prime minister benjamin netanyahu is whether to gamble with israel's future security to get gilad's family home. lucy williamson, bbc news, be'eri. four strands of legal the people have to catch the disease of younger people could get on with the economy, it's heard. they said mrjohnson was obsessed with the idea. here's chris mason. casually dressed, controversial and not exactly shy when it comes to slagging off other people and institutions. how is your eyesight, mr cummings? oh, and you probably remember dominic cummings for driving 260 miles during lockdown and visiting barnard castle in county durham to test his eyesight. i swear by almighty god that the evidence i shall give shall be the truth... mr cummings comes across in public as mild—mannered. he was rather less than that in his private written observations about people he worked alongside. you called ministers useles- . . morons. bleep. ..in e—mails and whatsapps to your professional colleagues. my appalling languages is obviously my own, but myjudgement of a lot of senior people was widespread. in listen to how dominic cummings were, described a seniorfemale cummings were, described a senior female colleague. "we cannot keep dealing with this horrific meltdown of the british state while dodging stilettos from that bleep.�* was that aggressive and foul—mouthed and misogynistic approach the correct way to manage fellow professionals? a thousand times worse than my bad language is the underlying issue at stake, that we had a cabinet office system that had completely melted. boris johnson's judgment caused anger today. he was obsessed with older people accepting their fate and letting the young get on with life and the economy going, wrote patrick vallance, the government's then vallance, the government's then scientific advisor. it showed mrjohnson was sociopathic, some of those representing the bereaved said. the overriding impression here is one of dysfunction — claims of a shambles at the heart of government atjust the moment government was more important to more people than it had been for decades and decades. borisjohnson has offered no comment on what's been said today. what will probably be clear in covid, — what will probably be clear in covid, it _ what will probably be clear in covid, it was _ what will probably be clear in covid, it was the _ what will probably be clear in covid, it was the wrong - what will probably be clear in| covid, it was the wrong prices for this— covid, it was the wrong prices for this prime _ covid, it was the wrong prices for this prime minister's- covid, it was the wrong prices for this prime minister's skilll for this prime minister's skill set, _ for this prime minister's skill set. which _ for this prime minister's skill set. which is _ for this prime minister's skill set, which is different, - for this prime minister's skill set, which is different, i- set, which is different, i think. _ set, which is different, i think, from _ set, which is different, i think, from not- set, which is different, i think, from not being i set, which is different, i| think, from not being up set, which is different, i- think, from not being up for the trouble _ think, from not being up for the trouble big _ think, from not being up for the trouble big prime - think, from not being up for. the trouble big prime minister. and what— the trouble big prime minister. and what about _ the trouble big prime minister. and what about why— the trouble big prime minister. and what about why it - the trouble big prime minister. and what about why it took - the trouble big prime minister. and what about why it took ten days from agreeing to a first lockdown?
