already qualified but still chasing top seeding for next summer's euros as they face malta at wembley tonight. hello and welcome to the bbc news at one. the united nations has told the bbc it can no longer get aid into gaza because of a lack of fuel. it comes as the world health organization says disease is spreading in the territory more rapidly than expected, with people living so close together in shelters and a lack of clean water. meanwhile israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said there were "strong indications" that hamas was holding hostages at al—shifa hospital in gaza, but that they'd been removed by the time troops raided the complex. the military say they've found the bodies of two hostages near that hospital. about 240 people were kidnapped by hamas, designated a terrorist group by the uk government, on the 7th october, which killed 1,200 people. and in the occupied west bank, israeli defence forces says its troops have killed at least five gunmen during clases in jenin overnight. our middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest. nowhere feels safe, even in southern gaza. the latest israeli strikes destroying homes here. this was the

where most of the territory's population had previously been told to take refuge, and as word spreads, the people say they don't know where to turn. and yolandejoins and yolande joins me from

happening in israel and gaza on the conflict podcast — you can find it on bbc sounds. that's with my colleague lyse doucet. two 12—year—old boys have been remanded into youth detention, charged with the murder of a 19—year—old in wolverhampton. shawn seesahai's body was found on monday. he'd been stabbed. the boys can't be named for legal reasons. phil mackie is in birmingham. yes, jane. shawn seesa hai yes, jane. shawn seesahai had only arrived in this country in april, and on monday evening he was in some parkland in the residential part of the city of wolverhampton when there was a confrontation and he was fatally stabbed. he died at the scene, and yesterday evening 212—year—old boys were charged both with his murder and possession of a machete. —— two 12—year—old boys were charged. in the dock they spoke only to confirm their names, ages and addresses. they were so small they could barely see out of the dock when they sat down, and the judge who took the hearing, graham wilkinson, apologised to them saying this was a court room designed for people over the age of 18 years old. the hearing lasted for about ten minutes, and members of the defendants' families were sitting in the court during that time. they were remanded into youth detention until monday, when they will appear at wolverhampton crown court, and their solicitors said that they intended at some stage in the future to plead not guilty to the charges. phil mackie, thank you. a plan to expand funded childcare hours for working parents in england could make nursery and childminder places harder to find, according to analysis by bbc verify. it suggests that demand following the government's announcement is likely to rise by the equivalent of 100,000 more spaces by the time the scheme fully rolls out in september 2025. vanessa clarke reports. i started looking for childcare back when i was first pregnant. basically, once we realised there were two babies on the scan. with only a few months left on maternity leave, kirsten buckley is still on the hunt for childcare for her twins. it's incredibly stressful. it's the last thing i need to think about at the moment. you know, i'm trying to raise my babies and give them plenty of attention. and it's not a case ofjust finding, choosing a lovely nursery and putting them in — it's where's got a space, where isn't closing? in april, the parents of these two—year—olds will be the first to benefit from the government's plan to extend funded hours to include younger children. the bbc has estimated that in two years, demand is likely to have increased by 15%. that's the equivalent of 100,000 more children in full time care. in order for the plans to work, experts say the amount the government pays providers needs to be right and there needs to be enough space in nurseries and childminders to cope with the extra demand. i'm looking at february 2025 before i can even look at potentially- offering one or two days. but the early years sector is already struggling — with waiting lists growing, childcare workers leaving and funding issues. there will definitely be nurseries that are not prepared to offer these extended hours. we've already been told in our research that many will actually be withdrawing the existing offers, never mind extending to two additional hours. so i think, as i say, there's something in terms of a disaster looming here, frankly. some parts of the sector are expanding, particularly bigger chains, and are recruiting hundreds more apprentices. but councils, who are in charge of distributing the funding, are calling for more powers to determine where new nurseries are built. what we'll see is, because we we can't control it, is areas that have too much provision, so new providers coming into areas that already have sufficient provision and then other areas not having enough provision. and that will that will create a system of inequality. the government says the plan is being rolled out in stages to give childminders and nurseries time to prepare for the changes, and it is the biggest ever investment in childcare. it's a welcome promise to parents to help them get back to work, but that's if they can find a space. vanessa clarke, bbc news, bristol. shoppers bought less food and fuel last month, according to new data. figures from the office for national statistics were worse than had been expected, with people impacted by rising living costs and poor weather. our business correspondent marc ashdownjoins me. so, explain more about what is

l your mind back to february 2021, since retail sales volumes were quite this low. back then we were in the middle of a third national covid lockdown, so this 0.3% drop off the back of a 1.1% drop the previous month has really got retailers spooked. even halloween couldn't seem to save the day. stormy weather didn't help, nor did an uptick in the price of petrol and diesel. the hope is people are saving their pennies, looking to splash out on the run—up to christmas for those big set piece events like black friday. if we look at food sales, for example, budget brands seem to be going ok. the more niche specialist foods are struggling. that does seem to be people trying to prioritise that essential household bills. the fear here is that they could be more pain ahead, when the bank of england has a sustained period of putting it interest rates up like it has been, it can take up to 18 months for that to work its way through the system and really hit people in the pocket. economists are saying this could increase the chances of the uk tipping into recession pretty soon. a lot really now rest on christmas. we need to get those tills ringing, or some retailers fear that they might not survive for new year. marc, thank you very much. the government should ignore human rights law in order to push through the rwanda plan in which some asylum seekers would be flown to the african country, according to suella braverman, who was sacked this week as home secretary. writing in the telegraph, she's accused rishi sunak of "tinkering with a failed plan" by aiming to introduce emergency legislation in parliament. our political correspondent iain watson reports. rishi sunak made a pledge to stop the boats, but implementing his plan to send some asylum seekers across the channel to rwanda certainly hasn't been plain sailing. the supreme court said it was unlawful, but he says with further legal changes, the scheme can still hold water. i'm determined to do everything it takes to make that happen, and that means bringing forward emergency legislation that will declare that rwanda is safe for these purposes. we've negotiated a new treaty with them. and we will make sure that domestic courts cannot block systemically our flights to rwanda. and i've been also very clear that i won't let a foreign court stop us getting a flight off. that's my plan and i'm going to work night and day to it happen. when suella braverman was still home secretary, she visited rwanda, but she's now arguing that no asylum seekers will be flown there unless rishi sunak makes far more radical changes to his plan. in the daily newspaper, she says observers from the uk should be sent to rwanda. this is to discourage asylum seekers being moved to other countries, which then put them at risk, a key concern of the courts. she also says new laws should disapply, that means ignore, the uk's human rights act and un european conventions. this is to stop future courts' challenges. and she wants mps to cancel their christmas break to push the measures through parliament quickly. some conservative mps don't like the sound of this, but notjust because they want to keep hold of their christmas holidays. the former senior cabinet minister damian green says that if a government tries to override constraints on their power, then they would be acting like russia and china. but another former cabinet minister says that if the house of lords tries to stop an emergency law from overriding the courts then rishi sunak should call an immediate election. this is not a sort of trivial issue or an incidental one in the eyes of millions of voters. this is fundamental to their confidence, specifically in this government, but more broadly, in the ability of the british state to govern britain. the labour leader naturally would welcome an early election, but he predicts new laws in rwanda just wouldn't work in practice. the government — wouldn't work in practice. the government comes forward with a plan which _ government comes forward with a plan which isn't _ government comes forward with a plan which isn't going to work it is going — which isn't going to work it is going

about opposition inside his own party. suella braverman's intervention on the wonder is unlikely to be her last. the rwanda immigration policy is designed to deter people crossing the english channel in small boats. but what do migrants currently in france know of the scheme? our correspondent sofia bettiza has been to dunkirk to talk to people hoping to make the journey to the uk. in calais and dunkirk, volunteers prepare a hot meal and bring it here — the largest camp for migrants in northern france. for many of them, this will be their only meal of the day. the hours drag here — every day they wait, hoping for good weather so they can cross the english channel. and how will you get to the uk? by boat. not anything else, we don't have any other way. everyone here told us there's no way that the threat of being sent to rwanda is going to stop them. the living conditions in camps like these are so grim that they just want to get away as fast as they can. and it's taken them months of travelling to get here. they are so close to reaching the uk, they'rejust not going to give up. lamin from gambia is a manchester united fan. it took him four years to get to france. if the uk were to send people back to rwanda, would that stop you trying to get to the uk? for me, never. for me, since i was young, i always, you know, dream to be in the uk. this is a lucrative business. local ngos told us these camps are entirely run by people smugglers. the french authorities are cracking down on people smugglers. they've arrested 272 people this year, but small boats continue to set off all year round. sophia bettiza, bbc news, dunkirk. in the last hour, everton football club has been deducted ten points for breaching premier league financial rules. it's the biggest sanction in premier

suffering a grid penalty as a result. urgent financial help is needed to cope with the effects of climate change — that's what councils in scotland are saying, a month on from storm babet. record rainfall destroyed people's homes. our scotland editorjames cook has been back to see how people are coping in some of the worst—affected areas. the west of scotland has always been wet, but the rain that caused this landslide was something else. it came during the wettest two days since records began in 1891. a month on, the clear up continues, and the disruption goes on too. in living memory, there's been no significant movement on this hillside, and we had a number of other issues, we've had 20 odd sites and locations where we had bridges damaged, bridges demolished. and to avoid a repeat here, they're considering re—routing this road away from the danger of these cliffs. well, the scale of this when you're standing here is quite dramatic. it must have been terrifying as these boulders came rushing down from the hillside. it's a big engineering challenge, but it's also a big challenge for the community here. from a business point of view, obviously it's been crippling. if people want to shop, ordinarily they go to oban. hospital, doctors, it's going to be lochgilphead. it now means 2.5 hours there, 2.5 hours back instead of 25 minutes there and 25 minutes back. scientists who study the environment say we should prepare for more flooding as the leaves turn and fall. we are seeing both extremes in terms of the very intense rainfall and then extremes in terms of the periods of time that we can have without rainfall, and then also the temperatures that we're experiencing in our summers. for the children of ardfern, all of that means a change in routine. with the road to school still blocked, they're heading off every morning not by bus, but by boat. what's it like taking a boat to school? it... it's peculiar. it's fun. the thing is, i already feel like i've been doing it forever. how long have you been doing it? a couple of weeks. they're adapting here, but chartering boats, rebuilding bridges and re—routing roads doesn't come cheap. the local council is calling for more help to cope with the costs of climate change. james cook, bbc news, ardfern. a man found guilty of murdering schoolteacher ashling murphy in the republic of ireland is due to be sentenced shortly. the 23—year—old was attacked and repeatedly stabbed as she jogged along the canal in county offaly last january. 33—year—old jozef puska was found guilty by a unanimousjury in dublin last week. our ireland correspondent chris page is outside the court in dublin. the court's been hearing moving statements from those closest to ashling murphy. this murder generated an international wave of shock and sympathy. thousands took to the streets in ireland to demand more should be done to prevent violence against women. ashling murphy was out for a long a canal when she was attacked at random by jozef puska. he stabbed her 11 times and last week he was convicted by a jury and last week he was convicted by a jury in dublin. this morning ahead of sentencing, ashling's partner said she was a loving, caring, beautiful person and he said no matter how tough the sentence was it wouldn't be enough. her sister said ashling was a beautiful, kind person and a generous role model. today the judge is expected to pass sentence forjozef puska. judge is expected to pass sentence for jozef puska.— £8 billion was pledged by the government last month to fund road repairs over the next 11 years — essentially, to fix potholes. the money will go to england's local councils, partly funded by the cancellation of the northern leg of hs2. but councils say they need closer to £14 billion because there's such a backlog of work. our correspondentjayne mccubbin has been speaking to one widow who says her family has been devastated because of poor road maintenance. harry college defied the odds — well into his 70s, he cycled some of the most challenging tour de france climbs. he was a talented musician and artist. he was the principal clarinet with blackpool symphony for well over 50 years and he kept himself fit by cycling almost every day. this was the last photo harry took on his mobile phone on a bright winter's day last christmas. onjanuary 2nd, he set out for a new year ride, but suffered catastrophic injuries when his bike hit an 87 metre long crack in the road. it was a needless death, 9t shouldn't have happened. it shouldn't have happened. that crack had been reported several times. one local farmer was so concerned she sent this photo to the council. workmen sent out to make repairs simply missed this. the crack was eventually filled in three days after harry died. daisy clough cafe is popular with cyclists in lancashire. this is where harry and good friend nigel were heading on the day of the accident. and ijust slowed down a bit for it to catch me up towards where the crevice is in the road. and it didn't catch me up. his bike went down the crevice — bang! head, neck — broke his neck. broke his vertebrae in a couple of places. brain damage. he died at the scene, basically. he was one of the best people i've ever met. lancashire county council have confirmed repair work has been done and the road is now regularly inspected. today the government announced an extra £8.3 billion over the next 11 years to resurface roads. but the association which represents local authorities says this isn't enough. it's not the £14 billion we need. and it's a real issue, because it's not all the money today, - it's over the next decade. and it's not easy, the roads are all over the country, notjust here, the roads for cyclists just aren't safe. he should still be here? he should still be here, yeah. calvin coolidge finishing that report byjayne mccubbin. women could be offered counselling to help cope with the symptoms of menopause. updated

vegas grand prix — after the first practice had to be cancelled just nine minutes in, when driver carlos sainz hit a loose manhole cover. the second practice, which took place this morning, was also delayed. our sports correspondentjo currie reports from las vegas. the las vegas grand prix had already been billed as 99% show and 1% sporting event by world champion max verstappen. costing half a billion pounds to prepare and a0 years to put together, its first chance to wow lasted just nine minutes. the culprit that ended first practice early — drain covers! as ferrari's carlos sainz hit a loose one, having an instant impact on his car. the fai quickly announced a delay while all covers around the almost four mile long track were checked, but the damage was done. the schedule was already tight this weekend, as the stretch of the boulevard used for the race had to be re—opened to the the public at 4am. as a result, the rest of first practice was scrapped. the fans who paid nearly £750 to watch were sent home. so, in front of empty grandstands, second practice got under way at 2.30am. but it's yet to be seen if the big show has flopped before it's even got under way.
