the flow of aid. this comes as new images appear to show dozens of palestinian men, stripped to their underwear, with their hands tied behind their back, being held by israel defence forces. it's not clear if they have surrendered or if they have been taken by the military. israel has not said who the men are, but it has confirmed that israeli forces are making arrests in gaza. from jerusalem, here's our international editor, jeremy bowen. a warning you may find some of the images upsetting. video emerged this afternoon of palestinian men taken for interrogation. bbc staff recognised the town in northern gaza as beit lahia and we have geolocated the video there, too. palestinian diplomats said these were savage images evoking humanity's darkest times. the israeli army said only that suspects were being interrogated. posts on social media said the men had been sheltering with their families at a un school and that others were killed during the israeli raid. in this photo, the men had been moved to another location which we have not been able to verify. one of the captives is a journalist. he was forced to leave his disabled daughter, according to the newspaper he works for in london. earlier, in israel's parliament, a prominent government supporter told me that only israeli forces can control gaza, not the independent palestine the americans want. i think that when we talk about a two—state solution, we are using three words and three lies. it's not two, it's not a state, it's definitely not a solution. so what's the answer, an everlasting occupation? first, occupation is not the word. you cannot be — one cannot occupy his own land. israel is not an occupier in israel — it's the land of israel. so, what about gaza? again... that's the land of israel? the land of israel, you cannot be occupying it. we're not occupying it from anyone. in gaza, civilians are lost in the rubble of israeli strikes. so far, the world is not close to controlling the powerful chaotic forces unleashed by this war. the un secretary—general saying international peace and security is in jeopardy, is demanding an immediate ceasefire. a palestinian leader told me the us and uk must not veto the next ceasefire resolution. the united states of america and britain now has the key. if they oppose a resolution about immediate ceasefire, they will not be complicit only with this aggression — they will be a participant in these war crimes. they have to approve the ceasefire immediately because what is at stake is the life of 2.3 million people now. half of them are children. without a political solution, this conflict will go on when, if, israel declares victory in gaza. the war will not have a neat ending. two opposing forces are at work here. on the one hand, pressure for a ceasefire. on the other, the determination of the americans and the british to give israel the time it needs to achieve its objectives, and one western diplomat i talked to was thinking about perhaps another month. now, the un secretary—general wants to hurry that process up by putting pressure on them and also shaming them into taking action sooner. as gaza's food queues get longer, the un says it cannot run dependable humanitarian operation. with hungry people jumping warehouse fences, israel says world peace requires gaza's liberation from hamas and that will take force. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. with me is said shehata, from bbc arabic. lovely to have you with us. could you take us through the latest developments overnight. the israel military continuing its military operation inside gaza, khan younis, where they suspected hamas fighters are. the images in the report, there are dozens of palestinian detained by israeli military in the north of gaza. the hands tied behind their backs. israel saying it is investigating people who are suspects, not everyone. the other thing is the ministry of health in gaza saying that 350 people were killed yesterday, so the number is increasing now. more than 17,000 dead and more than 46,000 17,000 dead and more than 116,000 people are injured so far. and even to make this tragedy of the people in gaza, one of the doctors talked to the bbc with a moving cry, he said he was entering and a hospital in hun units where the fighting is, —— khan younis. he said my five is five years old and he asked me to get rice and meat. he does not understand that his father is more hungry than he is." there is pressure on israel to make a ceasefire and another truce to allow more aid because only 80 trucks went inside gaza which is less than what should be. we inside gaza which is less than what should be.— inside gaza which is less than what should be. we will come to the ceasefire _ what should be. we will come to the

kerem shalom or another crossing to allow more aid. the israeli side said they would allow this crossing but with screening, using an inspection system, using un people because there are some problems. so we expect kerem shalom to be open in the next few days and it will help ease the humanitarian situation inside gaza.— the humanitarian situation inside gaza. and what is this ou a inside

scheme to avoid paying nearly $1.5 million in taxes. his lawyer said the charges should never have been brought. our north america correspondent david willis sent this update. a56 a 56 page indictment from the office of the special counsel alleges that hunter biden and millions of dollars from foreign entities, in countries such as china, romania and ukraine, and instead of paying his taxes are spent much of that money in what the indictment because an extravagant lifestyle, one which included the use of drugs and prostitutes. the indictment accuses the first son of engaging in a scheme to avoid paying federal taxes between the years 2016 and 2019 and accuses him as well of filing false tax assessment for the 2019. all of this adds a new layer, of course, of legalfor president biden does make some, following the collapse of a plea deal. hunter biden was already facing separate charges, criminal charges that he lied about his drug use in seeking to obtain a firearm in the state of delaware. all of this, of course, brings the us justice department into the perplexing position of filing charges not only against the son of the sitting president, joe biden, but also, it has filed charges against the former president of the united states, donald trump, who continues to be his party's leading candidate for next year's republican presidential nomination. australia is bracing for soaring temperatures this weekend, with the mercury expecting to hit 45 celsius in some areas. multiple states are on high alert for bush fires, with strong winds and dry lightning adding to the risk. many areas have declared a totalfire ban until the heatwave has broken. live now to sydney and our correspondent, phil mercer. bring us up—to—date with some of the moves the government and state leaders have had to take. certainly in south australia the authorities down there about link what has been described as some of the worse fire conditions in years, at least five districts have declared catastrophic failure categories or ratings, so the situation down that is pretty perilous. if you look around the country, heatwave conditions and that catastrophic fire conditions are affecting other parts of australia as well. this heatwave warning is affecting part of every single australian state and territory, except the island of tasmania, and the bureau of meteorology is a warning that heatwave conditions will continue. we have had conditions up to 47 celsius in parts of south australia so that is more than 116 fahrenheit, so australia, a land will use to nature's extremes, but scientists say climate changes make it when it comes to heatwaves, more frequent, more intense and lasting longer. we frequent, more intense and lasting longer.— frequent, more intense

thunderstorms. now strikes account for the emissions of very many bushfires authorities in south australia say they have recorded 30,000 lightning strikes, so nature is perilous in this country, as we

of carbon dioxide and the rising impact of the el nino weather phenomenon, concern has been growing about the world's ability to stave off the worst impacts. and with political leaders distracted with gaza, ukraine and the cost of living crises, it's hard to see any signs of hope amongst the doom and gloom — but experts do believe there are some good reasons for cautious optimism. here's our environment correspondent, matt mcgrath. the biggest reason to be cheerful about climate change is the son. the solar panels are producing the cheapest electricity in history. in china this year they have put up china this year they have put up more panels than the united states has ever installed. it is notjust about china. all across the uk there is a secret solar revolution going on. on this street here in london, around 15 homes have installed solar panels over the last year. not on the other panels cutting energy bills in the street, they are allowing people to take practical steps in the fight against climate change. in the fight against climate chan . e. ., in the fight against climate chance. ., , ., change. not 'ust about renewable i change. notjust about renewable energy, i change. notjust about renewable energy, it l change. notjust about| renewable energy, it is change. notjust about i renewable energy, it is about people powerful is all realising together we can take action and do something practical to counter that kind of effects of climate breakdown and the economic crises. electric car sales are booming and there is great hope for the emerging idea of using these vehicles to power our homes. smart tech means we can now send the energy stored in car batteries back to the grid when demand is at its heights. so invest out to city at peak times can save you money as well as curbing emissions. from small batteries to much bigger ones... giant battery farms like this one in bucks are springing up all over the uk. a minute look very dynamic but by the end of this decade, at a reasonable store enough energy to power 18 million homes across the uk. in many areas of the green transition written is a leader. but getting the rest of the world to speed up their efforts is now the biggest challenge. the focus of those efforts is here. at cop28. history is another key reason to be positive about climate change. just eight years ago at the paris climate agreement was signed but this remarkable document contains no mention of coal, oil or gas. for in dubai there was a growing belief these fuels will be consigned to history. giving the world a fighting chance of staying safe. matt mcgrath bbc news dubai. so today is the youth, children, education and skills theme day at the summit. live now to my colleague carl nasman who's at the summit in dubai.

fashion house said it chose the city because of its pop culture and textile history. our culture correspondent, charlotte gallagher, was there. high fashion and a manchester high street. the legendary french fashion label chanel has taken over the city centre. models, celebrities, and the children of manchester icons liam and noel gallagher filled the front row of the chanel fashion show. even a—list actors couldn't keep away. are you enjoying the waiters? yeah, lam. i've been walking around in the rain all day. - it was fine. no, it's so good, and i'm telling you, it's like, i it is such an iconic place for me, and i've been. dreaming to come. the show celebrated not just fashion, but also the music of manchester. the rapper and actor bugsy malone came dressed for the occasion. we have the jacket, the watch, the trainers, and i'm very serious about the chanel thing right now. and the necklace — is that chanel as well? yeah. you're manchester, obviously. born and bred. so what does it feel like to be at a chanel show in manchester? you're one of the guests of honour. by the way, it's a real privilege just to have chanel in manchester. so to be here, to witness it, amazing, i've had a great time. people who didn't have a ticket also wanted to see what was going on. obviously, there's a nod to the weather. in fact, the crowds gathered in the rain all day, wondering which celebrities would arrive. so why did chanel choose manchester? and that's a history that is political, its social, but also, of course, linked to fashion and textiles. so in this area where we are, in the northern quarter, a lot of these buildings would have been warehouses, they would have been centres of production of cotton. in the 19th century, manchester was called cottonopolis. manchester—born supermodel karen elson took part in the show, and models weren't just on the catwalk. they were in the audience, too. really epitomised the spirit and creativity of manchester and the north, and, yeah, it's been amazing. the show may be over, but the party here, well, that's just begun. charlotte gallagher, bbc news, manchester. stay with us here on bbc news. hello, there. thursday's weather was pretty wet for many of us, and we're going to see further bouts of heavy rain moving their way in over the next few days. but i think, for many, there'll be a brief respite in the really wet conditions on friday, with some sunnier spells. but we've still got this area of low pressure into friday, and that's going to keep things pretty unsettled. but the bulk of the rain that we had on thursday has cleared away to the north and the east, and as we start off on friday, temperatures, for many of us, positive, so about 6—8 degrees celsius. still quite wet and windy in the northern isles throughout the day, and we'll see these showers moving their way in from the west. but there will at least be some sunny spells, particularly towards eastern and south—eastern areas for much of the day. one or two showers eventually moving in, and temperatures probably getting into double figures, for many of us. about 6—8 celsius across scotland. now, the winds will strengthen for a time around the irish sea and the north channel coasts. with that, some further heavy rain spreading through, and then into saturday morning, another band of very heavy rain will slowly move its way in, making it a very wet start to saturday morning. but again, overnight temperatures into saturday staying up into positive figures. now, for the weekend, it will stay unsettled. there'll be rain at times, but it's not going to be a complete wash—out. there'll be some sunshine around for a time as well. but a very wet start, as i mentioned, for many on saturday. some pulses of heavy rain spreading its way north and eastward. by lunchtime, spreading into central parts of scotland, northern ireland. for england and wales, there'll be a few showers towards northern and western areas. otherwise, though, a drier afternoon with some sunny spells, and again temperatures 11—13 degrees in the south, 7—8 degrees further north. that area of rain will continue to move to the north with that area of low pressure, and then another area of low pressure develops, as we head into sunday. that's one to watch. we could see some pretty strong winds linked in with that, with, again, rain spreading its way in from the south—west, pushing north and eastwards. so, yes, a spell of rain for a time, before it clears, and there'll be something a bit brighter towards england and wales into the afternoon. just eastern areas staying on the wet side, and temperatures once again about 6—12 degrees celsius. into next week, it starts to calm down a little bit, from mid—week onward, with something a bit drier. bye— bye. live from london, this is bbc news. rate cuts on the horizon? markets bet the global cost of borrowing will finally start to come down in the new year. a key report on
