hello and welcome. as israel continues its offensive in gaza, it says today's clashes are the heaviest since hostilities began. fighting continues in the south in khan yunis, and in the north, where israeli forces have surrounded a refugee camp they say hamas uses as a base. the head of the norwegian refugee council says what's happening in gaza now ranks "among the worst assaults on any civilian population in our time and age". we'll be speaking to someone from the organisation in the programme. the uk is still hoping to send migrants who come into the country illegally to rwanda, despite the supreme court ruling the policy against the law. home secretary james cleverly visited kigali to sign a new treaty with rwanda. we'll be live in westminster to find out how important the success of the policy is for the government. and it's been won by world—famous british artists like damian hirst and grayson perry. and in the past few minutes, we've discovered who won this year's turner prize. jesse darling. we'll have him live here on the programme. the israeli military says it's engaged in the heaviest day of fighting since the start of its invasion of gaza. people in gaza are being told to move further south as israeli forces step up their operation against hamas, designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments. the united nations is warning of an "even more hellish scenario" in the region with no safe places for people to go. this map shows the main districts of gaza — a huge flow of people were told to leave the north, more than a month ago and move to southern gaza. the un says nearly 1.9m people have been forced from their homes in this way since israel's retaliatory strikes began, after hama's attacks on october the 7th. more than 85% of gaza's population is displaced. this is the latest damage assessment map these images show the latest damage assessment map of the territory — as shown here in red. the worst hit areas you can see in the north of the strip. our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, sent this report from jerusalem. as israeli forces move south, another hospital in the eye of the storm. this was al nasr in khan younis this morning. four days after the cease—fire ended, a desperate constant procession of death, injury and grief. seven members of this man's family were killed as they slept. nearby, a miraculous escape. two sisters, maria and lana, pulled alive from the rubble three three days after being buried, along with dozens of members members of their family. translation: i saw translation: | saw| a body on the ground, her head was covered with rocks. at first, i thought it was my sister, katya, but then i looked again, and i thought, "it'sjenna, my cousin". death and displacement — two things israel's american allies have asked it to minimise. but people are fleeing, many of them not for the first time. the war�*s destruction driving them on. explosions. washington wanted this phase of the war to be different. but for those caught up in it, like this panic—stricken ambulance crew, it looks and feels very much the same. gunfire. street battles are raging in khan younis — these pictures from islamichhad, one of the two main palestinian armed factions. israel will win this fight, but at what cost? paul adams, bbc news, jerusalem. let's ta ke let's take a look at the mentoring situation. i'm joined now by shaina low, communication adviser for the norwegian refugee council, who is injerusalem now. we heard some very strong statements from the head of your organisation earlier. i read the quote out.

than a few burnt bodies, and those, i have no idea what they went through before hand. - bodies that are missing the bottom half, - i also don't know. if they were raped. staff told me there were patterns in the violence visited on women's bodies according to location. investigators say these attacks were systematic and premeditated, but piecing together even one single story is slow and difficult work. the wider story of sexual violence in these attacks is onlyjust beginning. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. we just have some reaction from joe biden in the us on this. "hamas terrorist inflicted up —— as much pain on women and girls as possible. the world can't look away on what's going on. it's on all of us to forcibly condemn the sexual violence of hamas terrorists without equivocation." that's from president biden, speaking in boston earlier. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. south wales police have arrested a man in connection with the stabbing of a 29—year—old woman in the town of aberfan this morning. they say he is known to the victim. several schools in the town were put into lockdown following the incident. the 28—year—old man is being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder. junior doctors in england have voted to stage fresh strikes this month and next after talks between the british medical association and the government broke down. the bma said junior doctors would strike from 7am on the 20th to the 23rd of december, and again injanuary. a new government offer adding 3% to pay this year was rejected. new guidance states trans women who have hurt or threatened women or girls will not be held in female prisons unless there are exceptional circumstances. the scottish prison service policy follows a public outcry after a rapist was sent to a women's prison. isla bryson raped two women while known as a man called adam graham. you're live with bbc news. the fate of asylum seekers who travel to the uk on small boats has become a big political issue ahead of a likely general election next year. the government wants to send some who are entering the uk illegally, who are entering the uk illegally to rwanda on a one—way ticket — an idea which has proved controversial to many. the policy has been beset by legal challenges. last month, the uk supreme court ruled the policy was against the law. today, britain's home secretary james cleverly travelled to rwanda to sign a new deal with the country to send migrants there, which he says addresses some of the earlier concerns. our political editor chris mason travelled with him to rwanda and has more details. this was james cleverly�*s first foreign trip as home secretary, but hang on a minute — a spot of east african deja vu. priti patel came here as home secretary in april of last year and suella braverman was here in march. three home secretaries making it to rwanda before a single migrant. last month, the supreme court said the rwanda plan was unlawful. this is what the government's hoped for solution looks like — a treaty between the uk and rwanda. the uk and rwanda are working on this because it is important, not because it is necessarily easy or that it buys you a cheap or quick popularity. rwanda and the uk understand there is a critical need to find innovative ways to address the suffering of migrants making desperate journeys and the exploitation of criminal human smugglers. can you guarantee that migrants will be on their way mr cleverly, can you guarantee that migrants will be on their way here as soon as the spring, or are you crossing your fingers and hoping for the best? of course, we want to see this part of our wider migration plan up and running as quickly as possible. we feel very strongly that this treaty addresses all the issues raised by their lordships in the supreme court. key to the supreme court's concern was the fear rwanda would send people to countries where they would be unsafe. british judges will now sit in rwandan courts to hear appeals where in some instances migrants could return to the uk. where, in some instances, migrants could return to the uk. this whole idea has always been novel, unconventional. ministers say it has to be because illegal migration is a massive challenge, and so they have to think of big, new ideas. but they can't be certain it will work. critics say it could end up being an expensive experiment doomed to failure. we've seen more home secretaries that we have asylum seekers sent to rwanda and we still don't have a full answer on how much this is costing. we know they've already sent cheques to rwanda for a scheme that's clearly failing. as the home secretary prepared to leave, the big question remained. can you guarantee migrants will arrive in rwanda from the uk before the general election? the only thing i can guarantee is the effort we put in an i have guaranteed that we will address the issues that the supreme court has put forward and we have. i guarantee that we'll work collaboratively with the rwandan government and we have. another trip complete, the same issue hangs in the air — will it be migrants, not ministers, heading here soon? chris mason, bbc news, kigari, in rwanda. let's go live to westminster and speak to our political correspondent damian grammaticas. what happens now this deal is done? what happens now this deal is done? what happens now this deal is done? what happens is that treaty has to be brought back here, has to go through the legislative post to be confirmed. in the same time, the government is also going to bring a piece of law, legislation to parliament to declare that it believes rwanda is a safe place. now, the problem is going to be though, government wants flights to be taken off as soon as possible, perhaps early in the year. looking ahead, many think to the fact the election is coming mid to late next year. but that political timetable doesn't take into account the legal difficulty. becca will be significant legal challenges. although the government has a treaty with rwanda saying it's going to deport asylum seekers onto other countries, the problem is the supreme court here ruled this policy a lawful on the grounds of rwanda not respecting obligations that have made under un conventions, international treaties and had deported migrants. if there is a legal challenge, it might be a hurdle to get over, but it would have to prove there is notjust a piece of paper, but where is the track record that rwanda would treat people the way it says it would. that's what i want to pick up on. we've heard from the home secretary today saying that this deal does allay some of the concerns and fears that people have about how the policy works?— that people have about how the policy works? what is the home secretary's _ policy works? what is the home secretary's view, _ policy works? what is the home secretary's view, judges - policy works? what is the home secretary's view, judges may i policy works? what is the home i secretary's view, judges may come policy works? what is the home - secretary's view, judges may come to a different view. lawyers who have been looking at this have already been looking at this have already been saying that they don't think that a treaty doesn't extinguish and a judgment from a supreme court. they look at a case on its merits. they look at a case on its merits. they throughout back in 2018, a dozen or so refugees were shot dead while protesting. in the last 12—18 months, a syrian refugee was deported from turkey and back to syria while the deal was in place. all of those are pointing to reasons why the court has already found rwanda is not safe.— rwanda is not safe. damian grammaticas, _ rwanda is not safe. damian grammaticas, for _ rwanda is not safe. damian grammaticas, for the - rwanda is not safe. damian - grammaticas, for the moment, thank you very much. it's one of the most prestigious, career—defining arts awards in the world. previous winners of the turner prize have included steve mcqueen, grayson perry and damian hirst. and in the last hour, this year's winner has been announced. let's ta ke let's take a look. and the winner is, ladies and gentlemen, jesse darling. cheering and applause it's nice to see some happy faces on the news. jesse darling won for art using tattered unionjack flags and barbed wire. we can go live to the ceremony in eastbourne and our culture and media editor katie razzall. hello from eastbourne. as you say, the price for this year has been announced, and i'm delighted to say the winning artistjesse darling is here with me. very many congratulations. i wonder what it feels to win. it congratulations. i wonder what it feels to win-— feels to win. it feels all right. better than — feels to win. it feels all right. better than all— feels to win. it feels all right. better than all right?
