major un agencies have again called for a humanitarian ceasefire, saying enough is enough. welcome to verified live. donald trump has arrived in court in new york in a civil case that could determine the future of his property empire. as he walked into the court mr trump dismissed the course at ridiculous and said it amounted to election interference and political warfare. the prop president and to the sons are accused of inflating the sons are accused of inflating the value property by billions of dollars. is coming out of the courtroom and this is what he said going on. you zeal! courtroom and this is what he said going on- you— going on. you you have a racist attorney general _ going on. you you have a racist attorney general who - going on. you you have a racist attorney general who made - going on. you you have a racist i attorney general who made some terrible statements and this came over the wires today. it is a very sad situation for our country. it is very unfair. it is very unfair but in the meantime, the people of this country understand it, they see it and they don't like it. they don't like it. this is political warfare, she would call it, a political law fair. i can think of other names for it but normally takes place in third world countries and banana republics and nobody is ever seen that, to this extent, we have not seen it here. but we will go a long and will hopefully do everywhere in every regard and we will win the election and will make america great again. that is what we're going to do. going to make america great again but we have to take away from what we deal with in the horrible people who actually must hate our country to do this. but we will fight very hard for our country. lets to do this. but we will fight very hard for our country.— to do this. but we will fight very hard for our country. lets go live to the courthouse _ hard for our country. lets go live to the courthouse and _ hard for our country. lets go live to the courthouse and to - hard for our country. lets go live to the courthouse and to our- hard for our country. lets go live i to the courthouse and to our north america correspondent. we had just seen donald trump come out, a pause in proceedings but, in that or so, is there any word coming out is what actually was happening in the courtroom itself?— actually was happening in the courtroom itself? ., a, ., courtroom itself? yeah, matthew, an extremely tense _ courtroom itself? yeah, matthew, an extremely tense morning _ courtroom itself? yeah, matthew, an extremely tense morning of - extremely tense morning of exchanges. donald trump clearly and his team have calculated that they will treat this as a political opportunity because, understand, he has been admonished several times by thejudge to simply has been admonished several times by the judge to simply answer the questions posed to him by prosecutors, to not launch into a monologue each time. in fact, the judge told donald trump's lawyers to get control of their client. that this is not a political rally, and that if they cannot get him under control that thejudge that if they cannot get him under control that the judge himself well. and not only that, that the judge will draw negative conclusions from the fact that he is not answering these statements directly, which could hurt his case. but, matthew, it is important to keep in mind that thejudge has already it is important to keep in mind that the judge has already found donald trump liable forfraud. the judge has already found donald trump liable for fraud. now, the judge has already found donald trump liable forfraud. now, this is a invade donald trump because no less than his namesake company, his entire business and his ability to ever do business in new york again is at stake here. and so we had him really echo a lot of the arguments his sons made last week. when asked by prosecutors about how he valued his properties, he has deflected two accountants, saying that he relied on them for accurate valuations, but that he believed the statement did not actually accurately reflect his net worth, that he was worth a lot more thought of as a segment is very hard to get on time to answer directly put up each time you launch into his own speech and a points record their trial crazy and attacked the attorney general and others of trying to just interfere in the election. mi others of trying to 'ust interfere in the election.— others of trying to 'ust interfere in the election. all right. thanks very much _ in the election. all right. thanks very much for— in the election. all right. thanks very much for the _ in the election. all right. thanks very much for the latest. - in the election. all right. thanks very much for the latest. we - in the election. all right. thanks| very much for the latest. we will in the election. all right. thanks . very much for the latest. we will be back to you a little bit later when proceedings resume but the former federal prosecutor has been talking to me. he gave me this assessment of donald trump's strategy. i am donald trump's strategy. i am exoecting _ donald trump's strategy. i am exoecting him _ donald trump's strategy. i am expecting him to _ donald trump's strategy. i am expecting him to try _ donald trump's strategy. i am expecting him to try to - donald trump's strategy. isn expecting him to try to deflect responsibility, to try to blame accountants and others and say that they were responsible for the false numbers. and i also expect him to be defiant. i think your correspondent is correct that, if you want to try to win this case, donald trump is going to have to walk a tightrope. but i really believe that, internally, his legal team has told him that they are going to use this case. they are attacking the judge not to try to convince him but because they know that they have already lost and they are trying to spin or add some colour in a very bad result. and i think that result was essentially preordained when he decided to invoke the fifth amendment to the united states constitution, which protects you from incriminating yourself, hundreds of times during his deposition. i hundreds of times during his deposition-— hundreds of times during his de osition. _, . ~ ., deposition. i will come back to trum's deposition. i will come back to trump's tactics _ deposition. i will come back to trump's tactics in _ deposition. i will come back to trump's tactics in a _ deposition. i will come back to trump's tactics in a but - deposition. i will come back to trump's tactics in a but you . deposition. i will come back to| trump's tactics in a but you are deposition. i will come back to i trump's tactics in a but you are a former prosecutor. what would be your tactics as you a case like this? what does the prosecution need to do here? , ., , ., , to do here? they need to try to pin down donald _ to do here? they need to try to pin down donald trump _ to do here? they need to try to pin down donald trump regarding - to do here? they need to try to pin down donald trump regarding his l down donald trump regarding his state of mind as to each one of these valuations. essentially, this case is about donald trump valuing his properties at one price to lenders and to a different, at a different numberfor the lenders and to a different, at a different number for the united states government, and various levels of the united states government. that is a problem for donald trump said the need to pin down his responsibility, his knowledge, his state of mind as to all of this. and ultimately, put that in front of the judge who i believe is not going to find the former president credible. irate believe is not going to find the former president credible. we got a ulim se of former president credible. we got a glimpse of that _ former president credible. we got a glimpse of that with _ former president credible. we got a glimpse of that with a _ former president credible. we got a glimpse of that with a cross - glimpse of that with a cross examination of his sons last week because admit that they had signed dozens of these reports, that events up dozens of these reports, that events up until now from donald trump has been, look, i had good accountants. they were responsible for those financial documents. he is also insisted no and lost out. does any of that hold water, do you think? i of that hold water, do you think? i don't think so. is not going to surprise all of your viewers that the accountants are not going to come into the trial and say it was all theirfault and come into the trial and say it was all their fault and that they falsify the numbers. they are going to say that they were relying on the numbers that were provided by them ljy numbers that were provided by them by donald trump, his companies and his sons. so, realistically, that is not going to have them on the fact that there were losses, whether that is true or not, as with the irrelevant. in the united states, trying to defraud people, whether you are successful or not, is still an offence. here it is not a civil offence but it can also be a criminal offence as well. we talked about donald _ criminal offence as well. we talked about donald trump's _ criminal offence as well. we talked about donald trump's tactics. - criminal offence as well. we talked about donald trump's tactics. you | about donald trump's tactics. you mentioned that the fifth amendment. would you expect potentially to hear that over the hours and also there is been this huge ongoing issue around a gagging clause? the court clerk. would you anticipate that at different stages, if he is coming under pressure, perhaps he tilts towards that and creates a huge distraction because his lawyers were accused of doing exactly that only last week. , ., ., last week. yes vote at the distraction _ last week. yes vote at the distraction i _ last week. yes vote at the distraction i think - last week. yes vote at the distraction i think it's - last week. yes vote at the i distraction i think it's where last week. yes vote at the - distraction i think it's where we are going to go here. take note that amendment would be illegally smart to do because this is a man who is facing incredible indictments in multiplejurisdictions facing incredible indictments in multiple jurisdictions of the united states. i think that is the part thatis states. i think that is the part that is lawyers set for him long ago during his deposition but now he is more concerned about the public perception of their son so he is focused on provoking a fight with the judge, focused on provoking a fight with thejudge, trying to focused on provoking a fight with the judge, trying to argue that the judge is unfair and none of that helps them from a legal perspective. it only helps them from the perspective of trying to influence his followers and his supporters. i admit i was reading one prosecutor who said anything can happen when you have someone in the dark. and you have someone in the dark. and you have someone in the dark. and you have donald trump in the dog, times that by 100. absolutely. he's going to be very difficult to keep on to a particular plan or agenda. if i was cross—examining donald trump i will try to goad him into what pushed him into saying that he actually was responsible for these numbers split up because i don't think is the sort of person who likes to say that he is not in charge. i would likes to say that he is not in charge. iwould basically likes to say that he is not in charge. i would basically try to get him to admit that he was actually in charge of these companies because he is a very prideful person, he is somebody who can veer off to speak. i'd make the former federal prosecutor, and that is certainly what we have seen the first hour or so. i want to show you some of the pictures, because teams of journalists are allowed to film just the first minute or so of court proceedings before they have to exit the courtroom and these are the pictures from about an hour or so ago before those proceedings started and you can see a clearly brooding donald trump but before actually taking to the stand. ilil" donald trump but before actually taking to the stand. our correspond in tellin: taking to the stand. our correspond in telling us — taking to the stand. our correspond in telling us the _ taking to the stand. our correspond in telling us the last _ taking to the stand. our correspond in telling us the last little _ taking to the stand. our correspond in telling us the last little while - in telling us the last little while that actually, subsequently to going into the witness box, the judge having to tell his lawyers to rein in your client, to get him to answer questions and stop with the political monologues. but those pictures before they actually got going. more from new york even the programme in the next little while. around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news. well, let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines here in the uk because several police officers have been injured in edinburgh after clashes with a group of about 50 youths who threw fireworks and petrol bombs last night. police got there and called it a concerted and planned attack on its officers. there are also bonfire night disturbances in glasgow and dundee. thousands of people in surrey are still without water after a technical issue at the thames water treatment works. the company has apologised to those affected and bottled water stations have been set “p bottled water stations have been set up to help residents. some schools have been forced to close. the company says the problems were caused by the storm. and the prince of wales has said to have kept up really well during a training session with a british dragon boating team in singapore. the prince took to the water on the eve of the annual prize ceremony. five winners are chosen each year with each receiving £1 million to fund projects with the aim to save the planet. these are some of the latest pictures. well, you are alive with a bbc news. now the ms run health ministry in gaza says more than 10,000 people, in the gaza strip, have been killed since the war with israel began a month ago. the announcement heaviest bombardment so far by israeli forces. the director of the hospital in gaza city said 200 people were killed overnight were to be told the bbc that people use donkeys to move casualties because they couldn't phone ambulances with communications cut. the israel defence force has said hundreds more targets have been hit. some a15 the last 2a—hour is. and a mass military compound has been seized by troops. meanwhile, israeli ground forces have now reached the coast in effect dividing the gaza strip and did too. the united nations has renewed its call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in gaza. a statement of the leaders of 11 separate un agencies consider together with humanitarian groups urges israel to protect civilians and allow more food, water, medicines and feeling to gaza. is it an entire population must be seized and denied access to the essentials for survival. and denied access to the essentials forsurvival. in and denied access to the essentials for survival. in terms of the diplomacy, the us secretary of state and the blinken has held talks in turkey and the final stop of his regional tour. turkey and the final stop of his regionaltour. he turkey and the final stop of his regional tour. he told of reporters washington was playing a leading role in preventing the conflict from spreading and ensuring that more aid reaches gaza. the vice president kamala harris is due to talk by phone with world leaders. those are some of the key planks. let's head straight tojerusalem some of the key planks. let's head straight to jerusalem and some of the key planks. let's head straight tojerusalem and our diplomatic correspondent paul adams. paul, twin thought foot at the latest on those rockets that we heard had been fired towards is real and your assessment on this whole trip from antony blinken? fin and your assessment on this whole trip from antony blinken?- trip from antony blinken? on the rockets first. _ trip from antony blinken? on the rockets first. this _ trip from antony blinken? on the rockets first. this is _ trip from antony blinken? on the rockets first. this is one - trip from antony blinken? on the rockets first. this is one of - trip from antony blinken? on the rockets first. this is one of the i rockets first. this is one of the larger salvos of rockets that has been fired across since the crisis began on october seven. and what was unusual about it, it wasn't apparently coming from hezbollah but how mass which also has a presence in southern lebanon, probably under the umbrella of hezbollah. so it was a large salvo. it doesn't appear, we have had reports of significant amounts of damage caused by it and the israelis say they fired back but this plays into one of the things that was very much part of mr blinken's trip when he was here in the region which was to try and prevent this from escalating into a wider regional conflict. and while i think the americans probably feel that, on the, in terms of the conflict in gaza and the ability to get aid in and more news about hostages, they may feel that maybe his trip was not as successful as they might have hoped but i think they might have hoped but i think they do feel that the successfully prevented, so far, this from escalating more broadly. they are consulting an enormous number of regional leaders while he was here and, at the moment, even though we have these, you know, warning signs on the lebanese border, you don't get a sense that the whole region is about to explode into some kind of wider conflict. i think that is something the americans are taking something the americans are taking some small crumbs of comfort from. i admire paul adams there in jerusalem, thanks very much. a little earlier on this programme, i spoke to the israel defence force's spokesperson. they are paying the price for the government that failed them miserably.— them miserably. sure, but it is your strikes that — them miserably. sure, but it is your strikes that are _ them miserably. sure, but it is your strikes that are killing _ them miserably. sure, but it is your strikes that are killing them -

what you're doing, doesn't it? there is no lack of reportage from gaza. i is no lack of reportage from gaza. you have been avoiding it extensively on the bbc. i would say that the reality on the ground is one dictated by our need to get rid of hamas. that is what needs to be done but i need to be done quickly. indeed, there is a huge humanitarian cost to this war and it is on both sides of the fence. but we need to do this and do it quick. and we need to make sure that both israelis and palestinians can live without this looming threat of hamas all the time. our operations are conducted within the realm of international law and the laws of armed conflict. we operate based on distinction that and do. we operate in the understanding that we need a clear military necessity on the strikes that we are conducting. i admit i know you keep saying that and you will be aware that there are plenty of those that can test out so i don't want to go down that because i've just got time to ask you one more question because the arc of these conflicts over the decades have been pretty the same. israel is attacked, they are then given space to exercise self defence. then the images come and they continue to come in terms of horrors of what we are seeing and then eventually, the us tells you to stop. is that the pattern that we are going to see here as well? there is one, the major difference between all the previous conflicts we have had with hamas and palestinian jihad attacking us from gaza in the past, there is never a strategic decision to get rid of hamas. this is the decision that hamas ultimately, when they declared war, when they strategically decided to abduct, murder, massacre, rape, bombard is real, they signed their own destiny. said this is different, even if washington says enough, you will make the decision, as that which you are saying? you make a mass need to be banished from the realm of existence. it is for the good of all the decent people in this region. everybody deserve to live in peace. israelis and palestinians alike. that was a spokesperson from the idea. let's go live tojerusalem and doctorjason lee who is country director at save the children of the occupied palestinian territory. thank you so much forjoining us. i was saying a little earlier we have had so many of the un agencies put that statement, enough is enough. in terms of your perspective, i assume that you support that central tenant. tell me what you are seeing on the ground. tenant. tell me what you are seeing on the ground-— on the ground. absolutely. it is critical that _ on the ground. absolutely. it is critical that we _ on the ground. absolutely. it is critical that we remember - on the ground. absolutely. it is critical that we remember the l critical that we remember the protection that all civilians have to be protected. the situation in gazais to be protected. the situation in gaza is dying and getting worse every day. we have the sheer numbers of civilian casualties. although some 980a out of ten of them as a child. now the child killed every ten minutes. the number of civilians that have been injured, 25,000 civilians. and again, one out of three being a child. so much so that one child is injured every five minutes. not to mention the 1.5 million people that are now homeless, they are displaced, and they are trying to find refuge when there is no access to water, there is no access to food. the medical system has collapsed. we are in a situation now where one of the three hospitals are not operational. two out of three primary health facilities are not operational. health care workers are being forced to perform examinations in corridors, perform surgeries without anaesthetic, having to use kitchen cloth because they've run out of bandages and having to use their mobile phones as flashlights because there is no electricity. there is no more fuel. hospitals cannot operate. this is a humanitarian catastrophe. enough is enough. children in gaza do not have time, time is running out for them. 50 do not have time, time is running out for them-— out for them. so many different aaencies out for them. so many different agencies over — out for them. so many different agencies over the _ out for them. so many different agencies over the last _ out for them. so many different agencies over the last few -

everyday, every hour? i mean, this is the most difficult thing. i - everyday, every hour? i mean, this is the most difficult thing. i have i is the most difficult thing. i have teams in gaza that also displays. they're living in shelters, like many of the population. i have been a humanitarian work of a 17 and i have been to many conflict zones, many natural disasters, ebola. and it is mind—boggling to me that we are struggling to convey the scale and the scope of what is really happening. you have gained the majority of the population are displaced. basic, basic life—saving access to water and food is not available. you have people using donkeys to transport the sick. we are resorting to looking at donkeys to transporting an assistant because we'd just do not have fuel. goods cannot come in. we do not have the number of supplies that are coming in to meet their needs. we don't have, there's been no ability for us to bring in more people. now thousands and thousands of people that are... hundreds of thousands, actually, clearly more vulnerable families and people with disabilities, children and cannot move, the elderly, just don't have the ability to get to a shelter. they need assistance as well. the situation, i cannot begin to describe, every day, what the civilian population going through. what my own teams are going through. when they report to us, when they can, because communications have been cut. brute can, because communications have been cut. ~ ., ., ., been cut. we have to leave it there but thank you _ been cut. we have to leave it there but thank you for _ been cut. we have to leave it there but thank you forjoining _ been cut. we have to leave it there but thank you forjoining us -

out of israel. aid is one thing but when he started this mission it i out of israel. aid is one thing but l when he started this mission it was a very clear line coming from washington and that was a push from washington and that was a push from washington to get a humanitarian pause. so i do think he has failed, thus far? ~ ., ., , thus far? well, the reason he has failed thus _ thus far? well, the reason he has failed thus far _ thus far? well, the reason he has failed thus far goes _ thus far? well, the reason he has failed thus far goes back - thus far? well, the reason he has failed thus far goes back to - thus far? well, the reason he has failed thus far goes back to what l failed thus far goes back to what your is where were saying earlier from the idf, is that something changed in the israeli administration and in the israeli public after october seven. the scale of the attacks, the horrifying nature of the attacks, but for successive israeli administrations had allowed her flourish successive israeli administrations had allowed herflourish in successive israeli administrations had allowed her flourish in the gaza strip. they had sort ofjust sort of allowed it to exist and to grow, in order to undermine the palestinian authority in the west bank. would you see now is that they realise that that cannot be allowed to go on further. they decided that hamas has to cease to exist and they will not be listening to the us or to anyone in the way they might have before, until they perceive that they are achieving that goal. which we can get two and a second when we talk about whether they can actually achieve that goal the way they are going and the way the military campaign is going now. tiara going and the way the military campaign is going now. two final cuestions campaign is going now. two final questions and — campaign is going now. two final questions and i _ campaign is going now. two final questions and i will _ campaign is going now. two final questions and i will come - campaign is going now. two final questions and i will come to - campaign is going now. two final questions and i will come to that | questions and i will come to that point in a moment or two but the pentagon hasjust said point in a moment or two but the pentagon has just said that civilian casualties in gaza are in the thousands but doesn't give a specific number. what you make of that assessment given only a moment ago the white house was repeating that line that were hearing from tel aviv and from the israeli government that we shouldn't believe the propaganda of hamas that we shouldn't believe the propaganda of hama that we shouldn't believe the --roa~anda ofhama , �* propaganda of hamas president biden, as ou propaganda of hamas president biden, as you know. — propaganda of hamas president biden, as you know, received _ propaganda of hamas president biden, as you know, received a _ propaganda of hamas president biden, as you know, received a massive - as you know, received a massive massive push back when he sent that. i mean, the level of anger, of shock, notjust within the arab american or muslim in the us but actually around the world, together us president cast doubt on figures of palestinians dying in gaza. i think the administration realised quickly that that was not the right way to go about it. that that was not the point. the point is that thousands of palestinian civilians are being killed and now you are seeing them get back to talking about those numbers because they do is see an alarming rise in the amount of casualties and they are very disturbed by that. so amount of casualties and they are very disturbed by that. 50 a very disturbed by that. so a significant _ very disturbed by that. so a significant pay _ very disturbed by that. so a significant pay that. -

objective, is it achievable? right. let me try to get this out in - objective, is it achievable? right. let me try to get this out in as i let me try to get this out in a5 seconds. i think it is important to remember that when we were talking about destroying hamas, eliminating them, that there is two components, both equally crucial to that goal. one is is important that, when you are conducting the military aspect of that campaign, that you don't do it in a way that undermines the political aspect of defeating hamas because we have to remember that hamas is notjust a terror organisation, it is an idea, it is an idea born in the belief that armed resistance is the only way to end an occupation. if you don't provide an alternative to that idea and that belief, then you will continue to find yourself in this situation, in the cycle of violence over and over again.— situation, in the cycle of violence over and over again. thank you very much. good afternoon. the northern lights lit up the sky behind me in bradford yesterday evening, but they were seen from northern scotland right the way down to kent. quite unusual for that far south. lots of sunshine as well has followed today after the chilly start as well. we had a touch of frost in eastern scotland, but the showers are pestering northern western parts of scotland coming into the central belt, passing over the pennines, coming across northern ireland and one or two elsewhere as well. but temperatures for the time of year around par, 11 to 13 or ia degrees celsius. but they will dip away overnight despite those showers, as you can see, continuing even into the central belt of scotland where we see the clearer skies here. we'll see touch of frost, probably some mist and fog as well. and it'll be slightly chillier further south, particularly across eastern areas. further west, likely to keep a bit more breeze and a few more showers, which takes us into another day of sunny spells and showers tomorrow. for tuesday, yes, there'll be some frost and some fog to get rid of, particularly in the north. but as the day goes, a little ridge of high pressure will tend to ease the shower activity across northern ireland and western areas as well. so perhaps a few more showers further east tomorrow, less further west and probably not as heavy. and temperatures very similar to those of today, spot the difference really. then as we go through tomorrow night, however, temperatures will start to drop away as we go through the evening time and there will be a touch of frost across northern and eastern areas. but through the second part of the night, this rain sweeps in strengthening winds. and it looks like we will have quite a wet start to our wednesday, particularly across mainland parts, further west across northern ireland, the bulk of the rain having cleared by midnight, 20 to 30 millimetres for most. so again, given that the ground is saturated, we've had so much rain during october, of course, it was record breakingly wet in some areas. we are expecting that there could be some further issues. we'lljust keep an eye on that. showers follow and temperatures, as you can see on wednesday, a little bit down, 9 to 13 degrees celsius because we pull in slight north westerly behind that weather system. and then it's a westerly showery weather picture as we go into thursday and friday, slightly chillier, as you can see, across the northern half of the country. temperatures dipping away so cool and showery with temperatures just a degree of two lower. but then as we go into next week, it may well be that the temperatures rise once again, but all in all, it looks as if it will stay mainly unsettled. temperatures dipping away so cool and showery with temperatures just a degree of two lower. but then as we go into next week, it may well be that the temperatures rise once again, but all in all, it looks as if it will stay mainly unsettled. this is bbc news, the headlines: donald trump has been testifying in a civil �*fraud trial�* in new york. at stake, a 250 million dollarfine and the ability to do business in his home state. the former president claims the trial is a political attack. political warfare, as you would call it, politicalwarfare. i've got political warfare, as you would call it, political warfare. i've got a lot of names for it. usually, it takes place
