on khan younis and rafah in the south have continued — as have those in the jabaliya refugee camp in the north. israel insists it's making "maximum effort" to avoid killing civilians. hospitals inside gaza are struggling to take in the casualties, with un officials describing a "degree of panic" in medicalfacilities that hasn't been seen before. the un says palestinians who are being told to leave areas which were previously seen as safe, are being pushed into a narrow corner of gaza. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, reports. ominous warnings — the israeli flares that hang in the night sky over gaza are followed by the thuds of explosions. rumbling explosion. and on the ground, israel's military says its offensive has now expanded to every part of the palestinian territory. it said its operations here will be of no less strength than those that have devastated the north. explosions, shouting. israel's already ordered more evacuations in the south of gaza, crowded with displaced people who were told to move here for their safety. a un official on the spot told the bbc that palestinians are running out of places to go. hundreds of thousands of people on the move, probably for the third orfourth time. some cannot because there's not enough transport to move them. many are well aware that they are moving to a place with no water, no shelter. it's cold, starting to rain. no sanitation. memories of a truce have faded fast, with a return to these all—too—familiar scenes of frantic searches in the rubble left by israeli air strikes. in khan younis, civilian casualties are overwhelming the local hospitals. israel says it will now carry on fighting here until its goals are met. one is to remove hamas from power. while hamas says it will only talk about releasing further israeli hostages it holds if that's tied to a permanent ceasefire. meanwhile, this war — now nearly two months old — continues to take a terrible toll. live now to our middle east correspondent yolande knell injerusalem. what is the latest we are hearing from gaza about the israeli military expansion into the south of the strip?

i mean, it is clear that operations also continue in l strip? i mean, it is clear that i operations also continue in the north of gaza but in the south there has been a widening of israel's ground offensive. the israeli military said in its latest briefing it was now present in every part of the gaza strip, suddenly advancing on some of these areas around khan younis, one of the main cities in the south. we know that there were these evacuation orders that were given for areas, the un says they account for about a fifth of khan younis and the people affected, it is about 170,000 of them, some 50,000 of those, according to the un, are people who are already internally displaced within gaza because in the early stages of the war people from the north of the strip were told to relocate to the south for their own safety. so that has been causing quite a lot of panic and confusion, particularly with this map being put up online, and of course communications and the internet is so patchy across gaza it has been difficult for people to access that information. the un has also been warning that the areas they are being told they should now evacuate to our places that are already extremely overcrowded with other displaced people. what already extremely overcrowded with other displaced people.— other displaced people. what is the feelin: in other displaced people. what is the feeling in israel— other displaced people. what is the feeling in israel about _ other displaced people. what is the feeling in israel about the - feeling in israel about the continuation of these air strikes, military action, given the number of hostages still being held?

" so he came at 12:00 yesterday, and he left at 10:00 this morning! he stayed with us last night. there was lots of people stuck and people putting people up and...just doing what we can to help. live now to our correspondent, yunus mulla, who's in cumbria in the north of england. welcome to you. it's been called ice rink on monday with the ice freezing over again. what are conditions like and how is it impacting people there?

well, it's very interesting and potentially difficult diplomatically the position they are in because the government has said in parliamentary questions they are looking into the legality of these exports. we know they have the potential to intercept exports if those exports potentially violate dutch foreign policy. but of course, there is the political situation and any effort to stop american exports to israel would be very difficult for the dutch government, so that's one of the issues according to reports in the nrc newspaper which is creating this kind of delay. just to explain what is happening today, this hearing will last around an hour and then thejudge will have will last around an hour and then the judge will have about two weeks to give a response to say whether or not the exports can be blocked. and also, another thing worth mentioning is that this legal case by the human rights organisations has attracted a huge amount of interest here in the netherlands and a lot of people have contributed to a crowdfunding campaign to make this whole lawsuit possible. campaign to make this whole lawsuit ossible. �* ., ., ., ., ,, , ., possible. anna holligan, thank you for the update. _ around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. british lawyers could be stationed in rwandan courts as part of a treaty to allow asylum seekers to be sent there. it comes weeks after the uk's supreme court ruled the plans unlawful — and downing street said it would publish a treaty with kigali to address the court's concerns about the rwandan justice system. the prime minister says the bbc should be "realistic about what it can expect people to pay" for the tv licence fee during times of high inflation. the licence fee has been frozen for the last two years at £159 but is due to rise in april in line with inflation. and — the oxford word of the year is rizz. it's internet slang for romantic appeal or charm, mostly used by gen z—ers, and is thought to be a shortened form of charisma. others on the eight—word shortlist ranged from swiftie — to beige flag — to situationship, and were chosen to reflect the mood, ethos or preoccupations of 2023. i have to say, i don't think i knew many of those words! you're live with bbc news. the un climate conference in dubai is set to address the thorny issue of boosting funds for climate action and disaster support. this is the fifth day of the conference and already different economic opinions are being laid out. the international monetary fund wants to see an increase in the price of carbon to incentivise countries to reduce their carbon emissions. but, the united arab emirates wants investment in hyrdocarbons, such as oil, saying that otherwise the green transition could be hindered by high commodity prices. radio a presenter mishal husain spoke tojohn kerry, the united states special presidential envoy for climate. she asked him what concrete outcome he is hoping forfrom this un climate conference. i hope we're going to raise ambition on a global basis, because we're behind in the reduction of cutting emissions. i hope that we will break new ground on finance, because we desperately need much larger sums of money deployed, investing in order to effect this transition. i'm very hopeful that the global stock—take, this is the first measurement of where we are since paris, and that needs to be an honest, open, transparent, forceful, candid document which really lays out the gaps where they exist and what we need to do to get where we need to go. if we did all of that, it would be great. don't we already know one very key gap, which is, if the key thing is limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees from pre—industrial levels, we are on track currently for at least 2.5 degrees? that's correct, we are, but when did paris, we were on track to 3.7 to a degrees. so we have in fact reduced that into the twos now, and we know that if all the promises of glasgow and all the promises of sharm el—sheikh were actually being implemented, the iea tells us that we could be at 1.7 degrees celsius above there. so that doesn't mean it's over and we can go home, no. it means that we know that if we do the things we say we're going to do, we could actually keep it at 1.5 degrees. that means taking dramatic action here in dubai, which is being talked about, about how do we accelerate this? we just had a huge meeting the other day, a summit on methane. methane wasn't even talked about in paris, and it is slowly now coming into focus where people realise that methane is 80 to 100 times more destructive than co2, and yet methane only gets about 1% of the funding effort of climate—related expenditure. so that's going to change now. even oil and gas companies came to the table and said they're going to put money on the table, they're going to help to reduce the leaks, reduce the flaring, reduce the venting, and that will make a huge contribution to getting on track. so i'm hoping that much more of those kinds of initiatives will come to life here in dubai. john kerry fair. live now to our climate reporter, esme stallard. she is at cop in dubai. take as to what is happening there today. teddi; what is happening there today. today is focused on — what is happening there today. today is focused on two _ what is happening there today. today is focused on two areas, _ what is happening there today. today is focused on two areas, one - what is happening there today. today is focused on two areas, one is - is focused on two areas, one is gender and the other finance. john kerry spoke there about the us raising more money. there will be ongoing negotiations today and we also expect new announcements from the uk government about additional funding going towards agriculture later this afternoon.— later this afternoon. there was controversy — later this afternoon. there was controversy around _ later this afternoon. there was controversy around the - later this afternoon. there was controversy around the cop . later this afternoon. there was - controversy around the cop prison, also the head of the uae�*s state oil company, at not, is that there is no sign of the demand for the reduction of fossilfuels. take sign of the demand for the reduction of fossil fuels. take us through the reaction. , _, ., of fossil fuels. take us through the reaction. , ., ., reaction. this conversation was had a coule reaction. this conversation was had a coople of — reaction. this conversation was had a couple of weeks _ reaction. this conversation was had a couple of weeks ago _ reaction. this conversation was had a couple of weeks ago between - reaction. this conversation was had j a couple of weeks ago between him and mary robinson in which he was quoted as saying this. he has pushed back on this and said what he was saying was that fossil fuels will still be part of the mix in 2050, and just this morning the cop28 presidency made a speech which said since the beginning there presidency had been undermined and they remain committed to 1.5 degrees. but there has already been protests here today over that, the youth pavilion has had their own protest, so it is still very much an ongoing issue and it does feel quite tense here. that's interesting. the atmosphere is tense? do you think it is still collegiate? is there still a sense that much can be achieved in the next few days? i that much can be achieved in the next few days?— that much can be achieved in the next few days?

there were commitments made over the l are we expecting? there were - commitments made over the weekend are we expecting? there were _ commitments made over the weekend in which more than 100 countries, it is now 118, and potentiallymore could sign up, committed to tripling renewable energy. but crucially two big players did not sign up,. the suspicion is they didn't sign up because there was also language around reducing fossil fuel usage. however, china has one of the biggest growing solar and wind sectors. they certainly don't need to necessarily sign up to a pledge to necessarily sign up to a pledge to prove they are taking renewable energy seriously. but this is something that will be coupled potentially with this language on reducing fossil fuels which we could see in a future text but we have to wait when you talk to ordinary people, activists, who are there to try and affect some kind of change but don't have a seat at the table, what are they saying about this cop? i think there is some frustration, they were happy with the number of announcements made early in the conference, it felt very, positive, but i do think they feel like the actions, orthe but i do think they feel like the actions, or the conversation that was reported between the presidency and mary robinson, as well as bbc reports that potentially aljarba was having conversations about fossil fuels with other countries, they feel that is undermining the whole process. —— aljaber. so i think they are still unsure about where this process could go. thank ou ve where this process could go. thank you very much _ where this process could go. thank you very much for _ where this process could go. thank you very much for the _ where this process could go. thank you very much for the update. - where this process could go. thank you very much for the update. do l you very much for the update. do stay with us on bbc news. i'll be backin stay with us on bbc news. i'll be back in a few moments with more than all of the day's top stories. thanks for being with us. hello again. after some disruption, snow and some low temperatures this week we see a change in the weather. we start on a cold note but as we head through the mid week period it is going to become wetter and windier, but also milder as the weather comes back in from the atlantic. what is happening at the moment is low pressure is driving our weather and it today will be slowly moving northwards. there is a lot of cloud and rain associated with this, some hill snow but even some of the snow getting too low levels at times and it will be cold today and also blustery. the strongest winds with exposure in west wales, the southwest and channel islands where we could have gusts to gale force. we have the cloud, the rain and hill snow across england and also wales. some of that getting down to lower levels at times. some snow showers across eastern and northern parts of scotland and the hills of northern ireland. but we do have that cold feel, especially if you are exposed to the wind. through this evening and overnight the centre of the low pressure pulls away to the near continent but we are still dragging in this north—easterly wind. so there will still be a lot of cloud and also some patchy light rain and showers and stills and hill snow across the southern uplands, northern england and the hills and also the hills of wales. under clear skies for the rest of scotland and northern ireland it is going to be cold, frosty and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. we could start the day with —8 in parts of the highlands. but here it will be brighter. meanwhile in the south for england and wales the low pressure continued to drift towards the near continent taking the showers with it and the showers across eastern parts of scotland are likely to be wintry in nature. through the course of tomorrow, our temperature range, three in the north, to about ten as we push towards the south. overnight tuesday into wednesday it's going to be cold and during the day on wednesday you can see the mild air starting to pull in from the west pushing across during the course of thursday. wednesday will start off on a cold note with a widespread frost. it could be —10 in parts of the highlands with some freezing fog and a lot of dry weather until we see the change in the weather from the west as some wetter and windier conditions come in. but with that, so do milder conditions. this is bbc news, the headlines: around 170,000 palestinians in gaza have been told as israel expands its ground offensive against hamas. the bodies of 11 hikers have been recovered in indonesia, a day after an active volcano spewed ash high into the air. the us military says one of its warships patrolling the red sea has gone to the help of three commercial vessels hit by drones fired by iranian—backed houthi rebels in yemen. the 2026 commonwealth games hosting headache continues — with the australian state of victoria out of the running, another location pulls out of a bid. the us military says three commercial vessels operating in the southern red sea have been struck by drones or missiles fired by houthi rebels in yemen. it said its warship, the uss carney, shot down three drones launched from houthi—controlled areas. no casualties were reported. let's get more from our security correspondent, frank gardner. frank, just
