were wearing poppies. it's an important day to remember those who died, but amongst them were 10,000 palestinians whojoined the british army. the atmosphere as the rally began was relaxed and good—natured but from early in the day, police have been concerned about what they categorised as a right—wing counter protest. there were scuffles a short distance from the cenotaph. the met commissioner sir mark rowley paid a visit to his command team as riot squads in the field worked to keep the two protest groups apart. here in the met police�*s operations centre, officers are monitoring every aspect of the protest and they've got fixed cameras and also they've got evidence gatherers, officers on the ground, who are taking pictures they can beam back live from the scene so the commanders here can decide where to deploy and when to arrest. we watched as the senior commanders instructed their teams in the field to arrest some of the counter—protesters. from what we can see they came intent on confrontation, intent on violence and intent on causing trouble. we've made a number of arrests within the counter protests, including for possession of a knife, possession of a baton, possession of class a drugs and assault on an emergency worker. siren wails as police were rounding up the far right demonstrators, the mayor of london sadiq khan claimed the home secretary suella braverman�*s criticism of the met had emboldened the far right groups. across the whole footprint, we are monitoring very closely if anyone is committing offences, either within the main march or within the counter protest. police have arrested around a dozen pro—palestinian demonstrators, allegedly for making anti—semitic chants or showing support for hamas — a proscribed terrorist group. the main march is now dispersing but officers are keeping a close eye on smaller breakaway groups with darkness having fallen across the capital. mark easton reporting. inafew in a few months�* time

around five o�*clock, if you remember that was a time the protesters had been told to be disbursed by, there was a hard out on that, police were insistent that five o�*clock was a time when everyone should be gone from this area, now they have open the road here. the police that were lining between about five o�*clock to half past six have disappeared now, and life is getting back to normal pretty much. i�*vejust life is getting back to normal pretty much. i�*ve just seen the stage that was used for speeches at the end of the demonstrations being put on the back of a lorry and that is gone as well, so i think life is getting back to normal in an area that was closed off earlier, but all the demonstrators as well have pretty much dispersed at this point. more than 100 arrests according to the met police. what details we had about the reasons by the arrests? we are about the reasons by the arrests? - are still getting details on that, obviously it is an evolving situation, the met have said that a lot of those have been connected potentially with far right groups, although information are still coming in to us. they also say they are looking for two individuals wearing headbands that might have had hammer slogans on, although that is yet to be confirmed, we are still getting details at this stage. it�*s a little bit too early to know exactly what the connections are there or what it is exactly the police are looking for, but we are aware that police are looking in more detail at some of those, but it�*s actually down the road in pimlico that a lot of those arrests happened. that wasn�*t to do with a pro—palestinian demonstration happen, but more about counter protest. police had predicted they might happen over the course of the weekend. ,, , , ,

evacuation of babies from the paediatric department at the hospital on sunday. the idf�*s chief spokesman, rear admiral daniel hagari, said the decision was taken following a request from the hospital administration. a surgeon at the hospital had earlier sent the bbc a voicenote saying they had run out of water, food and electricity — and that the intensive care unit has been hit. israel has repeatedly accused hamas of operating from tunnels underneath the hospital. hamas denies that. lucy williamson sent this report from jerusalem. gaza�*s main hospital is now the eye of this military storm. staff here say they�*ve been under constant fire for the past 2a hours. the dead trapped here, along with the living. we would like to bury their bodies. we tried yesterday to make a big grave in shifa hospital. a mass grave. but the israeli attacked all the caterpillar who arrived to shifa hospital. we don�*t want to have any outbreaks due to these dead bodies who are outside the main refrigerator. 0ne doctor there said patients were so frightened, some left with serious injuries untreated. the hospital lost power yesterday. doctors without borders has accused the israeli military of signing the death warrant of civilians trapped in al—shifa. shooting and bombardment everywhere. you hear it at every second here around the shifa hospital. no one can get out from the shifa hospital. and the people who tried this morning to evacuate from the hospital, they have been shooted. elsewhere, doctors report carrying out surgery by the light of mobile phones. they say the lack of electricity is threatening the lives of newborn babies and those in intensive care. some, they say, have already died. loud blast israel says its ground offensive has so far captured 11 hamas bases. it says its enemy hides behind hospitals, like al—shifa, but that it�*s not targeting the complex. translation: there is no shooting at the hospital i and there is no siege. the east side of the hospital remains open. additionally, we coordinate with anyone who wants to leave the hospital safely. a few miles from gaza, soldiers reconnect with parents who themselves fought here in similar wars. some of the soldiers gathering for a weekend break here lost friends and comrades in the hamas attack. they�*re now under growing pressure from israel�*s public and politicians to finish their mission. israel�*s leaders are facing questions over the plan for gaza once the military operation ends. this family has sent three generations to fight in israel�*s army. the shabbat family picnic, snatched on the roadside, has become a tradition of its own. the father, yaron, said israelis didn�*t want to fight, but that they and their neighbours were like fire and water. the talk here in israel is often a call for peace, backlit by the sounds of war. lucy williamson, bbc news, southern israel. i spoke to our correspondent rushdi abualouf in khan younis in gaza�*s south, who gave me the latest on the fighting there. the situation remain the same, very tense situation around the al—shifa hospital, this is the biggest medical centre for the entire of gaza strip, and the fighting was intensified around the hospital with thousands of people still trapped inside, people who are fleeing from nearby refugee camps, taking hospital the shelter, there were about 50,000 people, but now the number i think is down to less than 10,000 according to some people who are inside the hospital. most of them left when the corridor was opened. today the situation is very dangerous throughout the day, so leaving the hospital was quite risky, but very few people who made it out of the hospital here in khan younis, thousands of people continue to take this journey through salah al—din road into the southern area, the area that israel asked 1.2 million people to go south, very few of them were from shifa hospital, i met someone here who spent the night last night in the hospital, who described the situation to me that it was really tense, there was a lot of shooting, a lot of bombing, air strikes around the hospital, and also the people trapped who inside are suffering from the lack of food, medicine and water. how much is there in terms of supplies on the ground for these people who are travelling to the south? look, most of the 500 or 600 trucks allowed from egypt through this humanitarian corridor were focused on the south, because now more than 85% of the population are in the south of wadi gaza, but the people who are really suffering the most, those who are still in gaza city and the north, about 200,000 people, they estimated, of people who are still in the area, the focus of the israeli ground operation in the north and in gaza city, those are not getting any of the aid coming from egypt, most of the aid is helping the people who are in the south, who are also struggling. we have seen people here in the hospital, hundreds of people, thousands of people, sleeping on the ground, begging water, begging food and waiting for more aid to come in. what is allowed is considered from the point of palestinian view as a drop in the ocean, and they need a sustainable humanitarian corridor that allows hundreds of trucks every day to be able to help hundreds of thousands of people who are taking the south as a shelter now. let�*s go back to the protests. the protest in london sparked a tense week at the height of government — home secretary suella braverman is facing calls to be sacked after an article she wrote in which she accused the police of bias and playing favourites by treating pro—palestinian marches differently to demonstrations by right wing groups. further pressure came today after counter protesters clashed with police officers near the cenotaph. scotland�*s first minister humza yousaf called for suella braverman to resign after the violence broke out — saying that she has been �*fanning the flames of division�* and london mayor sadiq khan also blamed the violence on the home secretary — saying she has made the police�*sjob much harder let�*s talk to our political correspondent helen catt whojoins me from the newsroom. comments there from the london mayor in scotland�*s first minister. the prime minister himself has made a few remarks in the last half—hour or so. what has rishi sunak had to say? he has put out a statement condemning what he says are the violent, wholly unacceptable scenes that we have seen today from the edl and associated lit groups, the english defence league and far right protesters. they talk about those he refers to as hamas sympathisers who attended the march for palestine, and he talks about remembrance weekend and how this is a time progress all to come together as a nation remember those who claim the right foot and eye for freedom. you said the actions we have seen utterly disrespects the honour of our armed forces, but he says he is clear that he is being evenhanded in criticising the edl thugs trespassing on the cenotaph but also those who were singing anti—semitic chants and brandishing hamas signs and closing on the march. here�*s condemning right of those equally. as you said, others have been talking about in particular the right disturbances in the violence, the violent scenes we saw there in pointing the finger at the home secretary and her rhetoric from early in the week so she was responsible for that. of course before she published her article there were plans for the right protest, but it�*s certainly true that what we have seen today have been far bigger in scale than previous far right counter protests, as the march itself, the pro—palestine march, with much bigger, whereas before those sorts of counter demonstrations were static, today they have been moving around. rishi sunak said today he will be meeting the metropolitan police in the next few days, and they should be met with the swift force of the law, and he says that is what they are accountable for what he expects.— is what they are accountable for what he expects. now the much anticipated _ what he expects. now the much anticipated much

week for the home secretary. firstly, the article i was talking about, an opinion piece, she referred to the pro—palestinian marches as hate marches, she drew comparisons with northern ireland, she accused the police are playing favourites in the way they tackle different protests, so that is why people are pointing the finger at her today saying she has fanned the flames as she put it of division, but on top of that, the article went out without number ten�*s approval, it was not cleared by downing street. the promised or his team had asked her to make some changes, those changes were not made, so downing street has been looking into that for the next few days. so, there is? so the question marks over her future. there is? so the question marks over herfuture. whether the plans to send asylum seekers to rhondda is also being lebanon�*s state news agency says an israeli drone struck a vehicle in an area some 50km from the lebanon—israel border — the deepest israeli strike inside lebanon in the cross—border violence sparked by the israel—hamas war. it comes as the leader of the hezbollah group, has called on arab and muslim leaders to urge washington to stop israel�*s military operation in gaza. hezbollah is, like hamas, listed as a terrorist organisation by many governments including the us and uk. leaders from arab and muslim countries have rejected israel�*s claim that its offensive in gaza is in self defence. the final statement from an emergency summit in saudi arabia called for an immediate ceasefire in gaza as well as for humanitarian aid to be allowed into the territory and for a freeze on arms exports to israel. well, earlier i spoke to our diplomatic correspondent paul adams and started by asking him how israel officials would react to the gathering of arab leaders. they are much too busy fighting a war in gaza, and it is only when the united states gets on the phone and says that it�*s unhappy that there will be any real sense of disquiet here. 0bviously, these are countries, some of them, with whom israel has recently established relations, and saudi arabia, where the meeting was taking place, is a country that untiljust a few days before the attacks of october the 7th, there was a great sense of expectation that israel and saudi arabia are about to normalise their relations. all that was then — israel is dealing with a very different reality now, and it its pressing business is the destruction of hamas in gaza, whether the arab world likes it or not. as we were talking earlier with rushdi, attacks on hospitals and around hospitals in gaza has continued. how has israel been defending their actions there? israel says that it is not attacking hospitals, it is absolutely emphatic about that. yes, it acknowledges that there is fighting going on between israeli soldiers and hamas fighters around hospitals, because as viewers will be aware, israel considers these hospitals to be in some cases hammer strongholds. they have identified structures underneath shifa hospital, for example, which they say were used by hamas, they say in the case of another hospital which was evacuated a day or so ago, they said while the evacuation was taking place they saw hamas fighters in the hospital and in the crowd outside the hospital, so they are in that sense targets of israel�*s military operation, but the israelis are adamant they are not going to fire on hospitals where civilians were sheltering and patients are being treated, and they are trying through the application of very overt and sometimes blunt pressure to compel everyone to leave so they can get on with confronting hamas without dealing with civilians. we had these humanitarian pauses which israel has promised just a few hours a day, is there any hope these will be extended to allow more civilians to leave areas that is says it is targeting? there already have been, we are looking at four, five, sometimes six hours a day, each day they make it clear which areas of gaza city and the expanding air as these will be applied to. today it was a refugee camp, with israelis saying, get to the main highway down to the south and carry on down that road. these are kind of rolling day by day slightly changing in terms of the geography within the city of gaza, but the whole point is to get as many civilians out as quickly as possible to allow israel to carry on with its military business. to ireland, where more than 1,000 members of sinn fein have gathered for the party�*s conference. it�*s leader, mary lou mcdonald has set out the republican party�*s plan for the year ahead. in her speech earlier this evening, she says the party wants to build a new ireland. it�*s it's 18 it�*s 18 months since michelle o�*neill it�*s 18 months

time, which is to be on both sides of the irish border, so the conference is being held here in the republic of ireland where sinn fein is currently the main opposition party, the irish party in dublin, and with the general election being expected maybe as soon as this time next year, there was a strong pitch in the speech they are to be the next leader of they are to be the next leader of the irish government, focusing on issues that are pivotal in the republic of ireland such as housing and the cost of living. in northern ireland, sinn fein last year became the first irish nationalist party to win the most seats in the regional devolved assembly in belfast, and that means that party vice president michelle 0�*neill that means that party vice president michelle o�*neill is in line to be first minister. she has not been able to take up the office yet, because the main unionist parties blocking the formation of a regional government in northern ireland. there has to be a power sharing arrangement, between republicans and unionists, so the main unionist movement, the dup has been blocking. talks are currently going on between the uk government in dublin and the dup to try to get regional government in northern ireland back up government in northern ireland back up and running. as you heard mary lou mcdonald say there, she says that people�*s patience has run out, and they are saying they should put and they are saying they should put a time limit on the negotiations with the dup, suggesting that the summit involving london and dublin governments in the later stages of this month should be the deadline for those talks. ultimately, this month should be the deadline forthose talks. ultimately, sinn fein looking at being a power both sides of the irish border, which should be a step in uniting the island of ireland. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. there is a pretty good chance of observing the northern lights, particularly across northern parts of the uk, where the skies will be clear. in the south it is a different story. an advancing weather front means thick cloud and outbreaks of rain, and indeed tomorrow it is a wet one for many of us. but not everywhere, i think, in the north the best of the weather. 0n the satellite picture, here is the weather front approaching the british isles. thick cloud already in place across many western and south—western areas. a wet evening here and the skies will remain clearest for the longest the further north and east you are. the forecast then — this evening shows clear skies in the north, but thickening cloud across ireland, outbreaks of rain, rain reaching wales, the south west, central and southern england too. where the skies that have been clear over night, and with light winds, a touch of frost and some mist and fog forming here as well through the lowlands. the vale of york as well, but to the south of that where we have the stronger winds, and that weather front is, it�*s a wet story here, really murky and drizzly. let�*s have a look at the picture around late morning. we can see sunshine and clear skies across much of scotland, sunshine for edinburgh, fine weather for newcastle and most of the north sea coast. further west and south it is a cloudy picture with rain at times. you can see it is not a coherent area of rain, farfrom it. you can see pulses of rain here, one in the north and another one here approaching wales in the south—west. if anything, towards the end of the afternoon, we might see a return of some bright, if not sunny weather to south—western parts of england and wales, just in time, and before sunset. let�*s have a look at the forecast for monday. a large area of low pressure across the north atlantic. a weather front crossing the uk. look at all of that rain, strengthening winds as well, risk of gale force winds around some of these western coasts. it really could be very windy for a time, say in the irish sea. i think the wettest of the weather in the second half of the day will be in the north there, anywhere from northern ireland to scotland i think, a fair amount of rain to come. the outlook for the week ahead is a very unsettled one. most places most days are in for some rain. perhaps towards the end of the week something a little bit drier and brighter. goodbye. you�*re watching bbc news. the latest headlines. an estimated 300,000 people have been marching through central london calling for a ceasefire in gaza. is it believed to be the biggest such demonstration since the war broke out. around 2000 officers were deployed and police say they have arrested more than 100 people they described as counter protesters. doctors at gaza�*s biggest hospital say two babies have died and other patients are at imminent risk of dying amid the israeli offensive. a palestinian surgeon at the hospital says most of the civilians there, including some patients and medical staff, have now left the hospital. the french president emmanuel macron has said israel must stop killing babies, women and the elderly in gaza. speaking to the bbc, mr macron said that while he condemned hamas and recognised israel�*s right to defend itself, he said there was no legitimacy or justification for israel�*s killing of civilians. hello and welcome to sportsday — i�*m gavin ramjaun. wolves come from behind to stun spurs
