to flee to for safety, earlier in the conflict. hospitals say they're overwhelmed with new arrivals. the world health organization says it's been told by israel to move medical supplies out of two warehouses in southern gaza within 2a hours — although israel has denied this. these pictures show explosions in gaza on monday evening. a spokesman for the un children's charity, unicef, says there's simply nowhere safe for people to go. all this comes as the us state department says it's too early to say for sure whether israel is heeding us advice to protect civilians in gaza. but it did say israel was making more targeted requests for civilian evacuations in southern gaza. here is the latest from the ground from our middle east correspondent yolande knell. in the past few days israel has put out evacuation orders, particularly for the south of the gaza strip, affecting tens of thousands of palestinians, many of them people who have already been displaced by the fighting. it is telling them to leave areas to the north and east of khan younis, and what we are hearing from one resident this morning, they said it has been a very sleepless night with intense israeli shelling, israeli bombardments, and we are hearing from others on the ground that israeli tanks have continued to advance notjust on the outskirts of the city to the east from the direction of israel, but they have also crossed the main road from north to south, the salah al—din road, and have set up positions there just outside khan younis. we really expect khan younis to be a big focus of israeli military operations in the days ahead. it has said it is going aggressively after hamas and other armed factions. and it does believe that senior hamas officials are in underground tunnels in khan younis, hiding out. there is a big concentration of hamas fighters in that part of the south. of course, israel's main goal in its defence is, it says, to dismantle hamas, topple it from power in gaza. the us, israel's main ally, had been asking israel to take care in the south, protect civilians there, and said it is too early at this stage to see whether israel had heeded its warnings. it has pointed out that israel has given more precise instructions to people about which areas they should leave and why they should go to. it is not like in the early stages of the war where there was a blanket warning to people in the north of the gaza strip to relocate to the south. we expect a live press conference from the israeli defence forces in the next few minutes, we will bring you that when it opens. let's go live now to dr hellyer, a senior associate fellow at rusi, a think tank. thank you forjoining us. i am interested in your analysis of the israel defense force's operations at the moment, especially around khan younis. ' , . , younis. the different districts in gaza have _ younis. the different districts in gaza have been _ younis. the different districts in gaza have been targeted - younis. the different districts in gaza have been targeted one i younis. the different districts in gaza have been targeted one byi younis. the different districts in - gaza have been targeted one by one. first it was the north, of course the north is now in a state of rubble, the idf is fairly certain it has managed to secure it quite well. then you go further south into gaza city, still considered part of the north, and the narrative being provided by the israeli defence forces was that the hamas strongholds were in the north, they had to attack so the civilian should flee to the south. they claim there are safe since they could go to bed early on in this conflict these safe zones were being bombed anyway, including the roads that were going between the north and the south. they have refocused their efforts from the north, where they seem to think they have done more or less what they need to do, they are focusing on the south. this brings about a huge problem in terms of its civilian population because they are huddled in this tiny section of one of the most condensed areas in the world. it is virtually impossible for the israelis to continue these bombardments with that incredible —— without incredible civilian casualties. what we have seen reported over the last couple of weeks, especially this excellent report in the 972 magazine and in the guardian, is the rules of engagement by the idf have been loosened so much that one military targets, as far as they are concerned, in terms of a single individual, can warrant the deaths of tens if not hundreds of civilians that happen to be in the same place, so the quote "collateral damage makes it absolutely disproportionate to the utmost degree. unfortunately i think we will see lots of that over the coming weeks. —— so so the quote unquote collateral damage. there is a lot of international pressure being visited on dc and also the israelis. the israelis are continuing their bombardments, it is likely we will see huge increases in civilian casualties, people who have nothing to do with hamas, nothing to do with militancy, they are paying the price for it because the israelis are determined to completely nullify hamas's capability in the gaza strip. i hamas's capability in the gaza stri -. ., ~' hamas's capability in the gaza stri -. ., ~ ., , hamas's capability in the gaza stri. ., ~ ., , strip. i would like to

resumed our military operations in gaza on friday morning. our mission remain the same, to bring back all our hostages and to dismantle hamas's military and governing capabilities. and very important for us to restore security to the israel's borders and the north. after hamas broke the pause, hezbollah also went back to firing, as well from lebanon, not only from lebanon but also other iranian proxies in other arenas too. we are still defending our civilians on multiple fronts. ourfocus remains on gaza. again, we are not losing sight in the broader region. since the hostilities have returned we are expanding operations against hamas across all of gaza, we are targeting operatives, infrastructure and mainly the terminal network. so far we have located over 800 channel shafts and destroyed 500 of these. the level of fortification is unprecedented. while we have been operating we are ensuring there is minimum harm to civilians with soldiers on the ground going from building to building. i'm spending the last two days in a very, very special cell in our seven command —— southern command. i want to speak about some aspects of what i learned when i was down there. we have been making every effort we can to facilitate the movement of civilians in the south in order to mitigate civilian casualties. our best efforts and minds are focused on understanding the human terrain in gaza. just to give you a taste, this map, again, we have talked about this in press releases and we have talked about these zones, every zone has a colour based on intelligence, on every capability that we have to understand the human landscape in these zones and try and make movements and ask for people to move in order to movements and ask for people to move in orderto minimise movements and ask for people to move in order to minimise harm to these civilians. it is an interactive map, a breathing map, it changes based on how the war is developing on the ground. we have ways to communicate with people inside these zones, leaflets, through the internet, through our spokesperson to the arab community. just today i looked into our website touch community. just today i looked into our website touc— our website touch studio: we are listenin: our website touch studio: we are listening to _ our website touch studio: we are listening to comments _ our website touch studio: we are listening to comments from - our website touch studio: we are listening to comments from the i listening to comments from the israel defense force as he has referenced the effort, he said, by the idf to facilitate civilian movement. he showed a map which he said was part of mitigating civilian casualties. he also referenced what he said with a level of fortification unprecedented, he said, and i want to bring in dr ha hellyerfrom the think said, and i want to bring in dr ha hellyer from the think tank rusi, whojoined us earlier. with regard to those fortifications i want to discuss reports by the wall street journal which the israeli government spokesperson has not made comments about but this is reports that the idf has assembled a system of humps which —— pumps which could be used to flood out the tunnel network in parts of gaza. with regards to the rules of engagement, how do they fit with that? and potentially these schools of hostages that hamas took on october the 7th could have been keptin on october the 7th could have been kept in these channels, how does israel think it can flood these channels and potentially force fighters out but also balance that with the fact that there may be hostages, innocent civilians, down there too? ., ., there too? there quite a lot, let me with the basics. _ there too? there quite a lot, let me with the basics. the _ there too? there quite a lot, let me with the basics. the it _ there too? there quite a lot, let me with the basics. the it is _ there too? there quite a lot, let me with the basics. the it is not - with the basics. the it is not another country at war with israel, 0k? -- another country at war with israel, ok? —— gaza is not another country. gazais ok? —— gaza is not another country. gaza is an occupied territory under the rules of the international law, the rules of the international law, the united nations, the un security council, the british and american governments, everybody agrees that gazais governments, everybody agrees that gaza is an occupied palestinian territory, and the occupying power is as well. this means that israel, as the occupying power, has responsibilities that pertain to the protection of the civilian population therein. they can't simply say this is a war zone, we have to go in and leave the policy, any more than we had a mass shooting in the united states —— we have to go in and do a,b,c. this is an important point. the rules of engagement cannot simply be thrown out of the window in any conflict, but in this case it is an occupied territory, and as the occupying power they have certain responsibilities. when it comes to the mitigation of civilian casualties that you mentioned, again, i want to draw your viewers to this particular report and it is very easy to access if you go to tinurl.com/idfmass, it is clear that the rules of engagement have been loosened massively compared to other conflicts. that is tinurl.com/idfmass. in thy words, mass assassination, this is what is going on. when it comes to the tunnels that you mention, these things will have to be verified, but the rules of engagement i am not sure which allow for that, but i don't know if that will make a terrible amount of difference to the israelis themselves, but also keep in mind the pressure that has been applied on the israeli government domestically by the israelis in order to bring home their hostages from gaza has been tremendous and it is very frustrating for the families in israel because they correctly assess that the idf, are you the israeli government's priorities, in gaza, puts the retrieval of the hostages not as first priority but second or third. this has been incredibly frustrating to them, which is why there was such a scandal about the fact that netanyahu did not meet with hostages�* families for quite sometime and there is still an ongoing protest movement israel purely about pausing or having a ceasefire in order to bring the hostages home. there has not been an incredible focus from the idf in terms of limiting their bombardments in order to protect the hostages or not bomb attack where the hostages may be. there have been reports hostages have been killed as a result of these tactics that have already been visited on the wider population in gaza, and beyond the safety of the hostages, there is the safety of the hostages, there is the safety of the civilian population, the palestinians living in gaza. with regard to that, the israelis are saying they are taking effort, in their words, to safeguard the gazan population. i am afraid we are short of time and so we will have to leave it, but thank you forjoining us, dr ha hellyer. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let�*s look at some other stories making news. at least nine people have been killed in the southern indian city of chennai which is being battered by winds from a severe cyclonic storm. police said the deaths were caused by falling structures and electrocution. flight and train services have been severely disrupted, and thousands of people living in low lying areas in the states of tamil nadu and andra pradesh have been evacuated. the president of guyana has accused the venezuelan leadership of trying to create a conflict over the disputed oil—rich region of essequibo. venezuelans voted overwhelmingly in favour of a claim to the territory. last week, the international court ofjustice ordered venezuela to refrain from taking any action, which would modify the current situation. a former us diplomat who served as ambassador to bolivia has been charged with working as an agent of the cuban government for more than a0 years. victor manuel rocha is accused of helping cuba gather intelligence against the us since 1981. court documents show mr rocha referred to the us as "the enemy." you�*re live with bbc news. iam i am gareth barlow. let�*s focus on the uk now. the uk home secretaryjames cleverly is in rwanda, where he will sign a new asylum treaty with the country. he�*s been visiting the genocide museum in the capital kigali. the government hopes the treaty will restart plans to send some asylum seekers there to have their claims processed after the supreme court ruled against the policy. the uk government is putting more measures in place, that could include allow parliament to vote and confirm that rwanda is a safe destination for asylum seekers who come to the uk. on monday, mr cleverly outlined plans to reduce legal migration to the uk — which included increasing the salary which skilled workers would need before they could get a visa by almost a half. our political correspondent peter saull reports. —— our political editor chris mason is travelling with the home secretary and sent this update from kigali. the home secretary arrived in the rwandan capital kigali in the last couple of hours, the third home secretary to visit rwanda in about 18 months. priti patel came out here in april last year, suella braverman was here in the spring of this year. now comes james cleverly. three home secretaries, no migrants yet arriving here. why? there was a rejection in the supreme court of the latest iteration of the government a�*s plan last month, hope hoped—for solution from a ministers perspective it is an international agreement, a treaty, between rwanda and the uk, which will be signed in the next couple of others. central to that is addressing the principal concern set out by the supreme court, a concern that any migrants sent here could end up being sent to their home country or to another country. the aim of this treaty and the new laws that will accompany at both here in rwanda and the uk aims to ensure that it�*s not possible. this is the centrepiece, there will be other details we will get in the coming hours. the government still hopes and says it wants to get migrants on planes to rwanda by the spring, but a few people are pretty sceptical about that kind of timescale. obviously there is an election looming and being seen to address the issue of small boats with its flagship policy of rwanda but has failed so far is seen as absolutely central to that. that was chris mason — absolutely central to that. that was chris mason in _ absolutely central to that. that was chris mason in kigali. _ live now to our chief political correspondent henry zeffman at westminster. how likely do you think it is that the government will achieve its plans? it the government will achieve its lans? ., , , ., the government will achieve its lans? ., , . the government will achieve its lans? , . . ., plans? it was 'ust a few weeks ago that the plans? it wasjust a few weeks ago that the supreme _ plans? it wasjust a few weeks ago that the supreme court _ plans? it wasjust a few weeks ago that the supreme court said - plans? it wasjust a few weeks ago that the supreme court said the i that the supreme court said the rwanda plan, the policy of successive prime ministers right back to borisjohnson, was unlawful in its current form. people in government then were taken aback, i think, by how comprehensively the supreme court ruled against the government. they had been braced for the possibility of defeat but thought it might need just one tweak here or there. what you are beginning to see today is the fairly wide—ranging efforts in various different ways from government to get this scheme up and running. james cleverly is in kigali, he will be signing a treaty which is basically to put the deal the uk government has had with rwanda for some time onto a stronger legal footing, memorandum of understanding to something underpinned by international law —— upgrading a memorandum of understanding. the government hopes it will address the concerns of the uk supreme court that the rwandan legal process could basically not be relied upon to follow through on the assurances given by the rwandan government. listening to immigration minister robertjenrick, it is clear that is not the most important part of the government�*s plan. what is the most important part, i think, is, government�*s plan. what is the most important part, ithink, is, in theirwords, important part, ithink, is, in their words, some emergency legislation we will see perhaps as soon as tomorrow which is designed to constrain the ability of people who might find themselves facing deportation to rwanda to challenge that decision, challenge the potential deportation in the courts. there are divisions in the conservative party, in the government, on how far that should 90, government, on how far that should go, the most serious... the most full fat, the term people in government use, slightly weirdly, i don�*t know why it is all about milk, the most full fat option people in government talk about is potentially disapplying human rights laws as they apply to asylum, the semi—skimmed option, to continue the analogy she is due to supplyjust uk laws. but it will be fought with the vision, when you see james cleverly signing the treaty in kigali, that isjust the signing the treaty in kigali, that is just the easy part. signing the treaty in kigali, that isjust the easy part.— signing the treaty in kigali, that isjust the easy part. thank you so much. a couple _ isjust the easy part. thank you so much. a couple of _ isjust the easy part. thank you so much. a

quote, tiny patches of barren land without food, shelter, medicines or sanitation. a world health organization official says we need more medical teams in gaza, the humanitarian supplies in the strip are way too little. we all follow those developments closely on bbc news. —— we will follow. well, let�*s move on to dubai, where ministers from more than 60 countries have been meeting at the cop28 climate summit. today�*s focus will be on energy and industry, just transition, and indigenous peoples. it comes as environment campaigners say a record number of delegates from the coal, gas and oil industries are attending the summit. now, a report by a coalition of green groups called kick big polluters out, says almost 2,500 people from companies linked to fossil fuels are there — that�*s four times the number at last year�*s conference in egypt. my colleague carl nasman is also in dubai for us. yes, thank you. i�*mjoined by yes, thank you. i�*m joined by achim steiner, administrator of the united nations development programme. i want to ask about that story we just heard about, a record number of oil and gas company representatives at the climate summit this year. what do you make of

barlow, thanks for watching. hello again. some parts of scotland and northern ireland started the day with some frost, but as we go through the next few days you will find the temperature will climb. it will get into double figures, you can see how the yellow to replace the colder blues, and it will continue like this into the weekend. instead of low single figures we are looking at low double figures. today we have pressure pulling away onto the near continent, a brisk breeze for a time along the east coast, the south and west but the winds will ease through the course of the day and the cloud will continue to drift that bit further east with showers in eastern areas. brightening up towards the west, showers at times across eastern northern ireland, pembrokeshire and devon and cornwall but the lion�*s share of the sunshine will be across scotland and parts of northern ireland. it will still feel cold. this evening and overnight eventually the low pressure pulls away, we have clear skies, mist and fog patches forming across eastern parts of scotland, but especially central southern england where we will have freezing fog, and these are the temperatures in towns and cities. a cold and frosty night but in sheltered glens the temperature could fall to —10, “it in the midlands. lots of sunshine to start tomorrow, crisp and frosty, some freezing fog will only lift into low cloud through the afternoon, the cloud will build towards the west, winds will strengthen and the rain will arrive and with it milder conditions. nine in belfast, 11 in plymouth. it will be a cold day further east. overnight, wednesday into thursday and thursday itself, as this band of rain pushes north and bumps into the cold air we could see disruptive hill snow across northern england and the hills of scotland. low pressure is coming from the atlantic through friday and into the weekend, the weather will remain unsettled. it will be cloudy and wet at times, it will be windy at times. compared to the temperatures in the weather we had last weekend, temperatures will be higher with most of us getting into double figures. this is bbc news, the headlines: as israel expands its operations in gaza, the un warns the situation for civilians is worsening "by the hour". this is the scene live there in khan younis, outside the nasser hospital. the uk�*s home secretaryjames
