an hour at the site, and reported evidence of shelling and gunfire, and say there is a mass grave at the entrance. the israeli military has surrounded and occupied the hospital for days; last week, they claimed they'd found a hamas �*command and control centre�* beneath it. that's been denied by hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments. on saturday, hundreds of people — including some patients — left the hospital on foot, making their way through israeli armoured vehicles. 25 health workers and about 300 critically—ill patients remain at al shifa. among them are 32 babies in critical condition. the who says it's now drawing up plans for their evacuation. meanwhile, the hamas—run health authority, says at least 80 people have been killed in two israeli strikes on the jabaliya refugee camp. they say one hit a un—run school that was being used as a shelter. the prime minister of qatar has said the challenges of reaching a deal on releasing some of the hostages held in gaza are now very minor. his comments came after the washington post newspaper said that israel, hamas and the united states were close to an agreement on the release of women and children seized from israel on october 7th. in return, israel would pause its offensive in gaza for five days. the white house says no such deal has yet been reached. this report from our correspondent mark lowen contains images which some may find distressing. the echoes of history are beating loud here for the palestinians last fled in such numbers 75 years ago when israel was created. and now, once again, hundreds of thousands are on the move. these crowds fleeing al—shifa hospital saying israeli troops ordered them out. israel insists the hospital asked for their evacuation. they take what they can, not knowing if they'll be back. dr ramez radwan from al—shifa says the israelis warned them to leave with horrors left behind. "the wounded are in very bad conditions there", he says. "with a lack of staff and medicine, bacteria are growing in the wounds. it's a miserable situation." for some, fleeing takes time, even if the bombing was all around them. majed was a patient at al—shifa, no longer a place of healing, but the world health organization says a death zone. translation: i was next to my house door and they bombed _ the place next to us. so i got injured. me and my cousins. and my other cousin died. at al—shifa hospital there is no food and no drink. we get shot at. they enter whenever they want and leave whenever they want. gunfire. and in gaza city, the battles still flare. this footage released by the israelis show them in active firefight, one of the middle east's most powerful armies held back by a force far inferior in numbers, but still capable of resistance. israelis too have been on the move but in protest, calling for their government to prioritise the release of the hostages. almost 240 still in hamas captivity. they walked from tel aviv to jerusalem. her and her nation's trauma deepening with every step. today is my husband's birthday. he's 63. and his mother is kidnapped. she is 85—years—old we are not with her. and we are marching. we are marching tojerusalem to... to bring people back, to shout, to shout and to say that she must be here back with all the kidnapped. we don't have time. we don't have one hour more. we don't know if she is alive. benjamin netanyahu is under immense pressure at home and from abroad, but he's still standing firm on calls for a pause in the fighting. and amidst reports that a hostage release deal is being drawn up, he's dampening expectations. they pressured us to agree to a full cease fire. we refused, and i conveyed we will only agree to a temporary cease fire and only in exchange for the return of our hostages. but for how long can this continue? twin israeli strikes around the jabalia refugee camp in northern gaza on saturday are reported to have killed at least 80, including 32 members of the same family. a nightmare scene on constant loop — for gazans, it's there every day. live now tojerusalem and our correspondent there mark lowen. this may seem like a glimmer of hope in terms of the hostage situation but why is there a difference of tone between for the us and the israeli prime minister are suggesting and what officials in qatar or suggesting? suggesting and what officials in qatar orsuggesting? i suggesting and what officials in qatar or suggesting?— suggesting and what officials in qatar or suggesting? i think the us and israel are _ qatar or suggesting? i think the us and israel are dry _ qatar or suggesting? i think the us and israel are dry to _ qatar or suggesting? i think the us and israel are dry to hold _ and israel are dry to hold expectations before it is announced because we have been here several times in the past few days and even a couple of weeks when we thought we were nearing some kind of deal, the outline of which had been leaked but actually there and it was scuppered at the end and often actually scuppered by an israeli cabinet, the right—wing of which we understand was opposed to a lengthy humanitarian pause for a cessation of violence. but now it appears according to the qatar foreign minister he says the sticking points at this stage are more practical and logistical, not representing because of the deal so it appears there is a deal taking shape now which potentially 50 hostages will be released, a similar number of palestinian women and children will be released from prison here in israel and there will be a cessation of violence but as ever it is delicate, both sides are putting conditions into video and we are not there until everything is sorted. whenever there is any update on the situation around negotiations of course that does not necessarily reflect what is happening on the ground. just give us an update on what we are seeing because as many un spokespeople have said and other aid agencies, there is a feeling that nowhere in gas is safe for civilians at the moment? that's certainly what _ civilians at the moment? that's certainly what people _ civilians at the moment? that's certainly what people will- civilians at the moment? that's certainly what people will feel l civilians at the moment? that'sl certainly what people will feel in southern gaza at the moment because even though they fled to the south, basically being told and understanding that it was safer than the north, and now the israeli military operation has it appears or is in the process of being extended to the south, there have been bombings around the south and the israelis are saying there is one area, just 14 square kilometres which is not the same song but aid agencies saying you cannot have 1.5 million people crowding into such a tiny area, it is not practical. one of the development to bring you today, in the last hour or so, is that the premature babies that you referred to in your introduction, we have been told from the palestinian red crescent that they have been evacuated from al—shifa hospital, you remember the heartbreaking photos of the babies without their incubators because there was no fuel at the hospital. we understand they have been moved close to rafah, probably to be moved out of egypt if it is next to rafah but that was a delicate operation given the continuing military operations but thatis continuing military operations but that is a tiny glimmer of hope, so many have already died but these are babies born into a war they do not understand at the moment and that will be a tiny bit of soreness in the extreme darkness we are seeing. such a positive development there and thank you for bringing us that update. qatar's prime minister, mohammed bin abdulrahman al—thanisaid and the eu's foreign policy chief earlier addressed the media in doha after meeting to discuss the war on gaza and a deal to release hostages. it's not really about a specific thing that i can comment yes or no about it. the challenges that remain in the negotiations are very minor compared to the bigger challenges. they are more logistical, they are more practical, and i believe that with the willingness of both parties to engage and to have this deal moving, we can reach a deal. we have been focused in the past four or five weeks now in these negotiations, we have tried every way, all possible ways, in order to ensure that civilians are released. and we treat all human beings all the same. civilians are civilians, whether they are from the israeli side or the palestinian side. as we mentioned in several occasions, ourfocus is to make sure that the release is happening safely and there are also the humanitarian issues of the gaza strip to be addressed in that deal. i'm joined now by our middle east analyst sebastian usher. we have been hearing that expectations have been dampened down by the us and by the israeli governments. but a very different approach from the qatari officials who are mediating? i approach from the qatari officials who are mediating?— who are mediating? i think we've seen this throughout _ who are mediating? i think we've seen this throughout that - who are mediating? i think we've seen this throughout that qatar l who are mediating? i think we've i seen this throughout that qatar has talked up the chances are though to be fair he was not saying this was about to happen immediately, he essentially was saying that the issueis essentially was saying that the issue is now are minor compared to theissues issue is now are minor compared to the issues faced before, they are logistical and practical in this kind of transaction which is so delicate and sensitive in so many ways, those supposedly minor issues can be big issues and is marking lowen said, the israeli government is quite low, parts of it, to do any deal at all as things stand on any kind of ceasefire until they see a large number of hostages released. what we expect and what we have been hearing from the washington post article overnight but also several days ago from the reuters news agency is that there is a deal for around 50 hostages, women and children and civilians being held, possibly in batches over several days. originally it was talked about a three—day ceasefire, now they are talking five days, what was being leaked from the talks between the us and hamas and israel, qatar very much involved, was that hamas was demanding the release of a number of women and children who had been held by israel. that does not seem to feature at the moment. it’s by israel. that does not seem to feature at the moment. it's been an auaonisin feature at the moment. it's been an agonising wait _ feature at the moment. it's been an agonising wait for _ feature at the moment. it's been an agonising wait for the _ feature at the moment. it's been an agonising wait for the firmness - feature at the moment. it's been an agonising wait for the firmness of i agonising wait for the firmness of the hostages house bricks have by so how much is the pressure that they are applying on the israeli government playing a part on this? i think the pressure is growing, as you said and over the past week, a five day march from tel aviv to jerusalem, culminating last night, the family sub israeli hostages who were joined the family sub israeli hostages who werejoined by the family sub israeli hostages who were joined by of others, around 20,000 people, were outside jerusalem, the residents of benjamin netanyahu injerusalem last night and they were basically saying, one of them said we the walk to garzo ourselves to bring our people back. they feel and i think they had expressed that the government does not prioritise the hostages as much as they would like this is obviously as they would like this is obviously a major humanitarian dilemma that the government is facing and politically, benjamin netanyahu politically, benjamin neta nyahu wants politically, benjamin netanyahu wants to succeed is with the aims he set himself at the military offensive, believing a ceasefire will not achieve that, the israelis are essentially saying if there is a lengthy ceasefire, it will give hamas a chance to regret and retain some kind of status, some kind of position in gaza but that incredibly emotional appeal by the families has grown and it has been even more enhanced by the fact there were two bodies repatriate to israel of two hostages found in the complex of al—shifa in gaza city a couple of days ago. one of them was 819—year—old female israeli soldier, big funeralfor her and 819—year—old female israeli soldier, big funeral for her and all of this is building more pressure on the israeli government, adding to the general pressure internationally from its allies to do more for the hostages or to at least be seen to be more concerned about what happens to them and on the other side, reining in the offensive. sebastien, thank ou. here in the uk, rishi sunak and the chancellorjeremy hunt are finalising their plans for the autumn statement on wednesday, which updates parliament on the economy and government finances. there's speculation that they are considering cuts to income tax or national insurance. mr hunt insisted he would only reduce taxes in a �*responsible' way which would not fuel inflation, as our political correspondent hannah miller explained. we're very much in the season of autumn statement speculation now, aren't we? it's just a few days away and lots of potential policies being floated in the papers. jeremy hunt, the chancellor, refused to comment specifically on any tax cuts, but it does come in the context of inflation falling to 4.6%. so prices still going up, but not quite as quickly as they were. in that context, he said he would only bring down taxes in a responsible way. he doesn't want to fuel inflation. he was pushed specifically on that around income tax. let's just have a listen. let me say this about bringing down taxes. i will only do so in a responsible way. i'm not going to sacrifice the progress we've made bringing down inflation, because inflation is also a tax. it eats away at your earning power. it means that your money doesn't go as far as it used to go. so let's translate that. you saying you don't want to do anything that could fuel — see inflation taking off again. translate that — it means no income tax cuts this week. well, you'll have to wait. and you're very experienced, laura, you know, i'm not going to give you any indication of my actual measures. but i also know that you used to say, "i won't cut income tax because it might fuel inflation." if you're saying today, "i'm not going to do anything to fuel inflation", our viewers can hear you pretty clearly hinting that means no income tax cut. well, what i can tell you is the approach i will take on tax, which is that we will be responsible. well, the chancellor also refused to comment on how much certain benefits will go up by. typically, they would go up by the september inflation rate, which was 6.7%. but because inflation is coming down, there's now speculation he might choose to put them up by a slightly lower rate in order to save money. that was then put to the shadow chancellor, labour's rachel reeves, and she was very decisive about what she thinks should happen. in government, i will use the inflation rate that is traditional, the september inflation, to uprate benefits and that's something that i would do. so whatever happens, you would always commit to using the september...? i think that's the right thing to do. if you pick and choose from year to year, which inflation number is the cheapest thing to do, then what you see is the gradual erosion of people's incomes. and, you know, half of the people who are claiming universal credit, around half of those people are also in work. and this is to top up low pay and insecure work, and i don't think the government should just pick and choose for them. they have a responsibility to ensure that everybody can afford, in a civilised country, to put food on the table, to pay their rent and pay their gas and electricity bills. and sadly for too many people, after 13 years of conservative government, they are worse off. i think it's fair to say, listening to both those interviews this morning, the conversation has really shifted in the uk from where it was just a few months ago towards this conversation about possible tax cuts. but exactly what form they will take or indeed when they will come into place, whether this could be something that we find the government talking about, an aspiration perhaps rather than an immediate change, to get those kind of details, we are clearly going to have to wait until the autumn statement on wednesday. voting is under way in the second round of argentina's presidential elections. the poll has been dominated by an escalating economic crisis, with inflation running at more than 140%. polls suggest it will be a tight race between the left—wing economy minister, sergio massa, and a far—right outsider, javier milei. mr massa won the first round with 36.7%, ahead of mr milei with 30%. this is one of the polling stations, the polls opened an hour and 20 minutes ago. live now to natalio cosoy — an argentian journalist who is at one of the polling stations. thank you forjoining us. very clearly it seems the issue that is likely to dominate voters when they cast their ballot is the economy? indeed, the argentina economy a sense severe crisis and its been like this for months and months and some people, the inflation is above 140% some people, the inflation is above 1a0% annually, more than 40% of people living in poverty and these are the main issues informing voters to decide who they prefer but that is not the only key issues. security is not the only key issues. security is another big issue and there are other democratic principles that are being discussed in argentina, currently mainly because of the possession of milei and his partners regarding democracy and the relationship to democracy and how they see the institutions of argentina. remember he says he wants to close the central bank, review the law that allows women to have abortions, so all these discussions around certain liberties and rights might make some people decide there is one or the other side. it is a very polarised election. mr massa is more of a centre person but in a more of a centre person but in a more left wing government currently, and as a minister of the economy he is seen as a continuity candidate for some in the government, some others see milei as a risky bet because he has not got experience, he has not got experience running the country or any municipality or a province in argentina and that means huge questions to us, how able he will be to govern the country if he wins the election.— will be to govern the country if he wins the election. based on what you have 'ust wins the election. based on what you have just said. _ wins the election. based on what you have just said, wasn't _ wins the election. based on what you have just said, wasn't much - wins the election. based on what you have just said, wasn't much of- wins the election. based on what you have just said, wasn't much of shock| have just said, wasn't much of shock when mr milei got 30% in the first round, how was that received in argentina?— round, how was that received in araentina?

the bigger shock was in the primaries in august when milei| the primaries in august when milei ended up on top of the entire lot, defeating all the other parties. his first public position was in 21 as a deputy in parliament in argentina, he did not have any other experience before that in a public position so it was shocking to see that he came out on top and again it was shocking to see that mr massa came on top of the first round because it was expected by many that milei could not have one but some who thought he might have been able to win, in the first round, but did not happen and again, the coins were flipped again and mr massa got the biggest vote in the first round, it is quite impressive what mr milei has managed in argentina in such a short space of time. it's not very easy in george and in argentina to fight against the established parties. let's see how the twists and turns continue. thank you so much. a hat worn by napoleon bonaparte when he ruled the french empire in the 19th century is to be auctioned in paris on sunday. the bi—corne beaverfelt hat, formed a central part of napolean�*s image, with the military commander famously wearing his headgear sideways to make him recognisable on the battlefield. the auction house expects the hat to fetch upwards of 650,000 dollars. from the newsroom, our reporter tom brada has the details. napoleon bonaparte is one of very few people in history who is identifiable just by their silhouette, and that is thanks in no small part to his fondness for the bicorne hat. now, bicorne literally means two—cornered, and napoleon was supposedly so fond of the hat that he had around 120 in that style over his lifetime, although just 20 of them are thought to have survived to this day. an early master of personal branding, experts say that napoleon knew exactly how these hats would help him stand out from the crowd. the way he was wearing the hat was very different from the other person in this period, so it didn't wear it in that way. he wore it in that way so everybody can recognise napoleon in battlefields, any place at 500 metres from which, "this is napoleon. " auctioneers say this particular hat made out of beaver fur, no less, has impeccable provenance, remaining throughout the 19th century with the same family of someone who worked in the emperor's palace. and there is a precedent for napoleon's hats selling for eyewatering prices. back in 2014, one of his bicorne hats sold for around 1.9 million euros. and part of the reason why there is such demand for his souvenirs is because of his compelling and captivating character. and he has returned to the headlines recently with a new film about his life. and the director, sir ridley scott, explained what makes him such an intriguing character. he is so fascinating, revered, hated, loved, and more famous probably than any man, or leader, or politician in history. more than 200 years since napoleon died, he continues to command an enormous level of fascination. and as a result, people are willing to pay enormous prices for the chance to own a small part of his legend. some had history there from the newsroom. the headlines are coming up. hello. it's another fairly mixed autumnal feeling day out there today. we've got low pressure still in charge, bringing us another fairly breezy but mild day for the time of year and there's some patchy rain for some of us in the forecast but not everywhere is going to see it through the remainder of the day. so low pressure is sitting across scotland. if you're closer to the centre of that low pressure across scotland, it won't be as windy as recent days but further south you can see more isobars on the chart here, windier weather bringing more showers. now, the bulk of the showers will be for northern ireland, northern england, wales, one or two for the south—west of england, some drifting through the midlands towards lincolnshire, norfolk as well. but further south across england, you're more likely to avoid most of those showers, although it will feel particularly windy. gusts near the far south—west could reach 50 miles an hour. for scotland, one or two showers for parts of the western isles, into central scotland but further north, east of the mainland and for the southern uplands, i think we'll see some brightness. more rain and windy conditions sitting across the shetland isles for much of the day, but through this evening and tonight, more rain around, especially for wales and southern england. some gusty winds associated with that feature, more showers following on for northern england and wales later in the night. not going to be a particularly cold night, 6—9 degrees as we start monday morning. we've got some heavy showers first thing across the south—east of england, they should clear away. and then we're into sunshine and showers for the rest of the day. the winds coming in from more of a northerly direction, drawing in some showery rain to northern and western scotland, northern ireland, blustery winds and showers through the irish sea coasts, as well. temperatures tomorrow down a notch on what we've seen through the weekend, so 10—13 degrees or so for most of us, and then it looks like higher pressure will build into tuesday, coming in from the south—west and squeezing away most of the fronts that have been bringing recent showers. so for tuesday, perhaps a bit of early frost and fog around, some low cloud trapped under that cloud, and one or two showers possible towards the south—east. they should fade away. most places having a predominantly dry day, i think, on tuesday, and top temperatures ranging between only about 7—9 across parts of scotland and northern england, to about 11 or 12 in the south—east. but milder air does hold on through the middle of the week. it does look possible, though, that something colder can start to work in across the far north of the uk into next weekend. so a window of drier weather through this week for many of us, especially towards the south, just a hint that those temperatures are going to drop off a little bit towards next weekend. bye— bye. this is bbc news. the headlines: gaza's al shifa hospital has been described as a "death zone" by a world health organisation team making a brief humanitarian visit. hundreds have fled the hospital, with israel's military maintaining that a hamas command centre lies beneath the building. the uk chancellor, jeremy hunt, says he won't take any risks when it comes to tax cuts and doesn't want to introduce any cuts that fuel inflation — he's due to unveil his autumn statement on wednesday. and argentinians go to the polls — in a presidential run—off between two candidates with vastly different visions for latin america's third largest economy. left—wing economy minister sergio massa faces far—right candidate javier milei, as the country grapples with annual inflation of 140%. plus, a 20 kilometre queue of lorries has built up at poland's border with ukraine. polish truckers are blocking almost all transit to and from ukraine in response to the eu giving ukrainian carriers freer access to its internal market. hello and welcome. the world health organization has described the al shifa hospital in gaza as a "death zone", after a visit to the complex by a un team. international doctors spent an hour at the site, and reported evidence of shelling and gunfire, and say there is a mass grave at the entrance. the israeli military has surrounded and occupied the hospital for days; last week, they claimed they'd found a hamas �*command and control centre�* beneath it. that�*s been denied by hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments. on saturday, hundreds of people — including some patients — left the hospital on foot, making their way through israeli armoured vehicles. meanwhile, the hamas—run health authority, says at least 80 people have been killed in two israeli strikes on the jabaliya refugee camp. they say one hit a un—run school, that was being used as a shelter. the prime minister of qatar has said the challenges of reaching a deal on releasing some of the hostages held in gaza are now very minor. his comments came after the washington post newspaper said that israel, hamas and the united states were close to an agreement on the release of women and children seized from israel on october 7th. in return, israel would pause its offensive in gaza for five days. the white house says no such deal has yet been reached. with me is said shehata, from bbc arabic. given what the white house is saying, how hopeful should we be about the comments made by the qatari prime minister? i about the comments made by the qatari prime minister?— about the comments made by the qatari prime minister? i think it is the main player. _ qatari prime minister? i think it is the main player, qatar, _ qatari prime minister? i think it is the main player, qatar, because l qatari prime minister? i think it is i the main player, qatar, because they are hosting the office of hamas for are hosting the office of hamas for a few years now and the meeting with the office all the time. i think when the qatar prime minister saying that, he is confident it is in a matter of days, may be less than days, to see the trees for five days. that almost the agreement is there because only what is left is logistical, practical, minor, so all of that means it is very close. but it will be seen in the next, i think, in a few days, may be less than a few days. so it is good news to help humanitarian organisation, to help humanitarian organisation, to stop the israeli bombardment and strikes in gaza because there are strikes in gaza because there are strikes everywhere, in the south, central, north, and it is getting more and more. i think it is good news for everyone to rethink again and to see if there if there is any other efforts that can be done to make it longer, look for a ceasefire, look for a two state solution. it can open the door. it is a small step but it is very helpful and encouraging for the international community and for the civilians who are suffering every day in gaza. civilians who are suffering every day in gaza-— civilians who are suffering every day in

time ago, they released only about 1000 prisoners. how many hostages and how can they do that and the truce is for five days or more? it will be about a number of days, this will be the main things. to go through egypt, they will... cat i will be there and israelis and some organisations. —— qatar. mediators or whatever, so the logistics about how many hostages, how many days, how many will be the days of the truce and how the swap will happen. hamas is asking for some swap for prisoners of palestinian and israeli prisoners. these are the obstacles i think they�*re talking about. fine these are the obstacles i think they're talking about. five days or how many days — they're talking about. five days or how many days the _ they're talking about. five days or how many days the truce -

will be as very different from a full ceasefire, which is what a lot of aid agencies have said is required. do you think that there is the same amount of scope for helping the humanitarian situation in gaza on the ground, with just this limited truce? i the ground, with 'ust this limited truce? ~ , ., , ., the ground, with 'ust this limited truce? ~' , ., , ., , , truce? i think it is a small

think it is a small step. this is the call by the who, - truce? i think it is a small step. this is the call by the who, the united nations, arab countries, everyone asking but israel refusing the and us supporting. the only thing that can change israeli mines may be is the pressure from inside israel, from two aspects. the first one is the people who have hostages held in hamas and thinking about the economy. the report saying if the war carries on for a few months it will be a collapse for the israeli economy. i think these are the two pressures to put pressure on benjamin netanyahu ceasefire. benjamin neta nyahu ceasefire. otherwise benjamin netanyahu ceasefire. otherwise i think it will be temporary truces. a temporary ceasefire, i can see that in the near future. ceasefire, i can see that in the near future-— shehata, thank you. quite interesting because that is the subject of what i spoke tojustin crump about. the ceo and founder of sibylline — an intelligence consultancy. i asked him if there would be anything that would make the israelis change their mind over a ceasefire in gaza. i think the only thing that might and we�*ve seen some discussion of this today, is something related to the release of at least majority of the remaining hostages. they�*re talking about the women and children being held hostage, potentially being released in current negotiations. now, i believe that when i see it, but i think something around that might well be the one thing that allows a longer—term pause. but i stress the word "pause" because i think the israelis are very, very unhappy with the idea of a ceasefire, because that sounds like the prelude to stopping fighting. it sounds like a bit of a defeat for the israelis and it sounds like a concession to hamas. i think hence the term humanitarian pause is being much more appreciated. and we have seen those increase. we�*ve seen the increase of aid into gaza, of fuel into gaza, which i think shows israel gradually making more and more concessions. but the ceasefire word is still very loaded because it feels like the start of an end to the israelis. and as you say, justin, the thing that�*s being considered instead of a ceasefire is a temporary truce, a humanitarian pause. and mr netanyahu has said this would be considered in exchange for the return of hostages. but how effective do you think that would be as a bargaining tool? because is it enough of an incentive for hamas if actually it is only a temporary change to the status quo? i mean, if it�*s something that betters a lot of the civilians in gaza and it�*s something that hamas is there, as their government should be considering, of course. but as you say, is it is it enough for them to give up the bargaining chip that the hostages represent in return for a short pause? no wonder i think they�*re pushing for the longer term. they�*re hoping, of course, to defeat israel in this fight to turn the world against israel. and, of course, israel slightly has helped with that aim by conducting operations in such a way that they are routinely being accused of causing excessive deaths amongst the civilian population, of not taking sufficient care of the civilian population. so for israel in particular, it�*s about balancing the need to do more, to be seen to do more, to be seen to meet a very high ethical standard, i think, in the conduct of these operations, which one might argue is not currently not being seen, against, of course, the desire of hamas to lead israel to actually fail in its mission to reduce the group at the very least. but i think on that note, it�*s worth pointing out that the israeli mission itself, a military mission against terrorism to wipe out terrorism is never going to achieve its ends. so i think israel not only having to gradually evaluate its position on civilians and aid, but also to evaluate the entire purpose of the military operation. and that�*s probably a fairly decisive moment at the moment, with the search around al—shifa hospital. just very briefly, president biden has said that there should be no forcible displacement of people from gaza, no siege, no blockade. how far does that represent a change in what he said before? i think it�*s a hardening. the us, i think, has always said its support of israel but expressed its concern about the treatment of people in gaza. and i think that�*s obviously both moral that we can all see just looking at the images, and also practical in terms of israel not playing into hamas�* hands. so i think it�*s a hardening, it�*s an increased clarification that arguably the clock is running down on israel in this operation and that the world won�*t put up forever with the current situation and more must be done. justin crump there, from the intelligence consultancy talking to me earlier. huge queues of lorries have built up on the border between poland and ukraine, amid a blockade by polish truckers, who accuse ukrainians of damaging their business. poland has banned the import of ukrainian grain, saying polish farmers were losing out. president zelensky recently admitted that people around the world were becoming tired of the war in ukraine, which he described as "scary". from the polish—ukrainian border, our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford reports. stranded on the road home to ukraine. there are now hundreds of trucks in this queue, not even crawling towards poland�*s eastern border. they�*re trapped by a trade dispute that could point to growing tension between two neighbours and allies. stanislaw has been stuck for over a week now, living in his cab. he keeps checking for news of movement. but there�*s none. and his supplies, money and patience are all running out. he�*s all the more bitter because poland has been such a firm friend to ukraine ever since the russian invasion. translation: people's nerves in this queue are really fraying. _ we can�*t take much more. is this how poland helps us? what can i say? thank you, polish people, for this help. it�*s almost 20 kilometres to the front of the queue and the polish truckers blocking the road with their protest. they say the ukrainian drivers have been stealing their business ever since the eu lifted a limit on how many can enter europe. the measure was meant to help ukraine during the war. translation: we're constantly supporting ukraine, _ but we need to support our own families, too. it's a matter of to be or not to be for our companies now. the protesters are letting food through to ukraine, as well as humanitarian and military aid. otherwise, though, they�*ve choked the flow to a couple of trucks an hour in each direction. when the war in ukraine started, there were completely different scenes here at the border, a huge outpouring of support and sympathy from polish people as ukrainian refugees poured across the border here. now, polish people�*s sympathy hasn�*t run out, but this protest is just the latest sign of strain in relations. "i don�*t support the ukrainians anymore", jolanta tells us in a nearby village. "i�*ve had enough of them." sofia agrees and blames hard times in poland itself. the ukrainian truckers just want to get home, but like them, the talks to end this protest have stalled. sarah rainsford, bbc news, on the polish ukrainian border. as we heard earlier, the chancellorjeremy hunt will give his autumn statement later this week. the autumn statement comes as many families across the uk continue to grapple with the cost of living crisis . colleta smith has been to meet some of them — and hear about the changes they�*re hoping for when mr hunt addresses parliament on wednesday. hi, i�*m faith, and i�*m a mum of two, i�*ve got a son and a daughter. hi, i'mjo, mum to harry, a teenager with additional needs. hi, i'm may, i'm a single mum to a two—year—old,j who is here with me. the chancellor might think he has got a tough task ahead of him, but today, i am talking to three budgeting experts. you�*ve been doing that for a good long while now, haven�*t you? too long, too long. you know how to manage a tight budget. yeah, yeah. they could learn a lot from us. the changing realities project is sharing the experience of low income parents going through the cost of living crisis. nobody chooses to struggle. yeah, ifeel quite invisible and i feel constantly worried. i never in my 20s, now in my 30s, imagined that this is how- i was going to end up. if you�*re poor, it�*s very expensive to live. so i�*m here to find out what would help — and increasing benefits to match september�*s inflation figure is top of the agenda. if that doesn�*t happen, it will have a direct impact. if they're not going to increase the amount of income people get, but the cost of things is still going up by 5%, then you've got less money. the winter is too late, you know, | because it won't benefit anyone. | you check your bank account every single day, just in case. might they have put another cost of living payment in? and it feels... completely at random with no warning and no kind... it goes nowhere. the biggest thing for me, if they universally funded childcare the way they do for schools. kids cost a lot, especially when they're younger. i i�*m saying to my son, "right, you�*re going to have to get a blanket on, just get a blanket and get in your bed because it�*s a bit warmer." i honestly don't know how we would manage if my son didn't get disability benefits, which is... that's ridiculous. the chancellor is sort of likely to make some changes around isas, something for first—time buyers, maybe some announcements about stamp duty. does any of that relate? no. not at all. it�*s irrelevant. it's not addressed to someone like me, is not addressed to any family that is in a low income household. we are just struggling to make our lives better for our children, let alone planning ahead for their nest savings. what are you supposed to do? you can�*t afford to rent, you can�*t afford to buy. what would help? property portfolios need to be taxed. that's it. and rent needs to be capped and affordable. i'm seeing massive profits for companies, oil companies. you want the comfort of somebody saying, " look, we know your bills are huge, we're going to cap that lower, we're going to take vat off it." we just want, you know, - the government say that "we see you and we want to help - you because we know you're going to make even a huge contribution once you get i back on track." clear messages for the chancellor from those struggling the most. colletta smith, bbc news. some breaking news to bring you. just in the past few minutes, we have had reports that air traffic control restrictions have been put in place at heathrow airport. that�*s limiting the number of flights that can take off and land. this has come from information that has just come through to the bbc in the past few minutes. a spokesperson for british airways told the bbc was having to make changes its short—haul schedule and there were a handful of cancellations and some delays and the airline, british airways, said that they are contacting customers affected and offering them rebooking options or a full refund. it says it is not clear yet what has caused this restriction, this reduced flow rate of flights. one source told the bbc it may be related to the weather but at the moment, there is no confirmation of what is causing it. so that is the news that has just come in, that air traffic control restrictions have been placed at heathrow airport. staying in the uk... in just a few weeks it will become illegal in england and wales to buy, sell or give away an xl bully dog — and the animals will need to be muzzled and kept on a lead in public. the new rules come into force on new year�*s day, which means the training should start right now. our reporter amy cole went to meet a vet in birmingham who is trying to help xl bullies, and their owners, to get ready. chapo? yes. hello. chapo and his owner, jo woodward, are here to see vet christian hughes because come the new year, their life is going to change. last month, the american bully xl was added to the list of banned breeds in england and wales. from february, chapo will have to wear a muzzle in public, but first it�*s about getting him used to one. so let�*s try you with the muzzle just going over your nose, chapo. you�*re just going to put your nose in and take the treats. good boy. well done! that�*s very good. the next step will be teaching jo how to tie the straps of the muzzle. she�*s one of 12 or so clients who is currently receiving advice and muzzle training from fivelands veterinary centre in moseley. i'm slowly, slowly doing it. i do a bit of muzzle training like twice a day and so far so good. how do you feel about the extra rules that are now being imposed because you own a banned breed? i would do anything — if that's what i have to do, that's what i have to do. you know, it's not nice that we've had to do this for the dogs, but i will do it. in september, ian price from stonnall in staffordshire was savagely attacked by two dogs suspected to be american xl bullies, and he died in hospital. and this month, a woman and her cocker spaniel was set upon in tamworth castle grounds. she was bitten and her pet so badly injured that it died a short time later. christian says that preparing for the new legislation is vital. now is the time to start muzzle training. get into the behavioural issues. if there are any behavioural issues, get those ironed out because that�*s going to become more difficult once the legislation is enacted. have you had any enquiries from owners asking about putting their xl bullies down? thankfully, we haven�*t at this stage and we�*re hoping that people won�*t do that unless they�*ve got serious behavioural issues. we�*d be really upset to have to put a healthy dog down. it�*s home time now for chapo with plenty more training ahead. amy cole, bbc news. you might well think, quite reasonably, that losing your eyesight would put an end to a hobby like photography. well, michael rickwood would beg to differ. he�*s a photographer who helps people with a range of visual impairments to keep on snapping pictures, and he says it�*s the bestjob in the world, asjoanne carter reports. a passion for photography brought them all together. an experienced photographer himself for over 60 years, he was the right man in the right place to help the members of vision northumberland get back out with their cameras. that�*s cracking that, isn�*t it? yeah. you�*ve got all the colours and the shades. some people have got glaucoma, some got macular degeneration, some people have got diabetic retinopathy, so it varies. and it�*s a case of talking to each person, finding out what they can see through the lens and how best we can help them encompass everything that they see and get it in focus and take the best shots. so, you get the the mirror reflection in the water. 0k, yeah, yeah. we've all got different vision conditions and we've all got different levels of eyesight. and i think with the photography, you can see things that you don't normally see. so, you can take a photograph and then zoom in, you can zooiti in on your camera. and just because we've lost part of our sight doesn't mean that we can't enjoy things that we used to enjoy. it�*s just enjoyment for me, you know. what they say is if you find something you enjoy doing, you never work a day in your life, and this isn�*t work, is it? a lovely day like today, the sun�*s come out, different colours. and seeing the photographs that they�*re actually managing to take is absolutely phenomenal, it�*s tremendous. they all understand what we're all going through and we're great friends. yeah, proving to us. that we can still do it. i wouldn't have believed that it was possible. - a soothing moment of peace there. taylor swift has postponed a concert she was due to perform in rio de janeiro after a fan died

breaking news that we brought you just a few minutes ago, this is on the flight delays at heathrow airport. so airline passengers are facing hours of delays at heathrow airport after air traffic control imposed restrictions on how many planes can land or take off. initially, it wasn�*t clear what the cause was but a heathrow spokesperson has now said that strong wind is forecast today and there may be minor changes to flight schedules. so a bit more support of the theory that the weather was to do with it. heathrow declined to say how manyjourneys will be affected but said passengers should check with airlines. you can get more on that and all of our news stories on the bbc news website but do stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. we have had some more rain around today but
