Welcome to bbc news. Lets return to the middle east, where israel has launched further air strikes on the gaza strip. These are live pictures coming to us from the israel gaza border. Palestinian Officials Say two doctors were killed in the central city of deir al balah, and more than 30 civilian deaths were reported on saturday. It comes as the un chief, antonio guterres, has repeated his calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, and the unconditional release of all hostages. Israel has been dropping flies from the air and on social media telling residents to go to a narrow coastal area which israel has called an expanded humanitarian zone. But some concerns about the ability to hold so many people there are being expressed by the united nations. The Foreign Secretary has reiterated the government doesnt support a � major operatation� in rafah without a plan to protect civilians. Speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg, lord cameron says hes not seen such a plan. It comes after the Israel Military intensified its operations in southern gaza, telling Tens Of Thousands palestinians to leave rafah. Lets take a listen to lord camerons interview. We dont believe they should go in for a major operation in rafah unless they have a plan to move people out of the way and to make sure they have shelter and food and medicine. We havent seen that plan, so we dont support a major operation in rafah. But i do think the us and uk are in quite different situations. The us is a massive Bulk Supplier of weapons sort of state to state. We dont do anything like that. Indeed, uk export of weapons under our very strict Licensing System is less than i of israels weapons. This is a question of principle, though, isnt it . President biden has very clearly said if you take this action, there will be this consequence. Its not about how much is supplied, is it . Its about the principle. And i think the principle in our case is that we have a very strict system based on legal advice to the Foreign Secretary. And ourjob is not to publish that legal advice or comment on the legal advice. Its to act consistently with it, and thats what we do. Its a rolling process that looks at what israel is doing, looks at humanitarian aid, looks at the treatment of detainees, and crucially looks at the behaviour of the Israeli Defence forces and asks that Central Question is there a serious risk of a serious breach of International Humanitarian law . And of course the answer to that is the answer up to now has been that weve allowed the Export Licensing to continue, but thats a rolling process and we work on the basis of the advice. But in terms of if President Biden� s very clear now warning that if they go into rafah, youve said you dont want them to go into rafah, he said there will be a cost and thats not just about whats actually sent or supplied. It is also about a powerful diplomatic message. It is about a principle. One of our viewers wanted us to ask you about this. Dee thomas has been in touch to say this is a point of principle. Regardless of the amount of arms supplied, the act of stopping the delivery carries a much, much stronger message. Its undoubtedly true we could, if we chose to make a sort of political message and say, were going to take that political step. Now, the last time i was urged to do that, just a few days later, i didnt do that. And just a few days later, there was a brutal attack by iran on israel, including 140 Cruise Missiles. Theres not sort of, you know, tiny drones, huge Cruise Missiles blasting into israel. And i think it would have sent entirely the wrong message. It would have been a very unwise move. So, you know, as we stand here today, i think there is a better answer, which is, you know, hamas must take the hostage deal. You get the pause in the fighting, you build a ceasefire out of that. But i think actually, just to simply announce today were going to change our whole approach to arms exports rather than go through our careful process, it would strengthen hamas. It would make a hostage deal less likely. I dont think it would be the right approach. So is President Biden wrong to take that approach then . He is in a totally different position. They are a massive state for them. Its not so much a principle because actually its really they are a massive State Supplier of weaponry. They are involved in the idf, tactical and strategic thinking. Its a totally different situation and im not really you know, what i want to do is make sure british policy has impact. You know, weve got three things we want to achieve. We want to stop the fighting, get the hostages out and remove the hamas threat. We want to get aid into the Palestinian People in gaza. And well talk. And we crucially want the long Term Solution of the Two State Solution what i measure is, you know, are we making progress on those things . Thats frustrating. Not enough aid is getting through, but were hammering away every day on open the port of ashdod. Get this pier built off the off the gazan beach. Switch on the water and the fuel back into gaza. Get the 500 trucks a day. Thats what were doing, hammering away on that because that will make a real difference. Im not really interested in the sort of message sending. Im interested in what can we do to maximise the british pressure and the outcome that will help people in their lives, including getting the hostages, including british nationals, by the way, released. The Foreign Secretary there. Many parents in gaza are waiting to get their children out of the strip for medical treatment. Israeli forces continue to control the rafah crossing, Halting Travel and humanitarian access to the strip. Ru abbass reports on the case of one child who is hoping to make it out and is currently in a hospital that is running out of fuel. Somaya is ten years old and suffering with pain in her abdomen. She is in an overwhelmed hospital. Israel has directed 100,000 people from rafah to relocate around the city. The idf says it is chasing down hamas fighters. Somaya was at her home when the impact from an israeli strike On The House Next Door severed her left arm. Somayas doctors say her recovery is slow due to a lack of staff and medical equipment. Despite her obstacles, somaya remains hopeful about herfuture, and dreams of receiving medical treatment in the united arab emirates. With no prospect of a ceasefire, such freedoms remain out of reach, not just for somaya, but so many other children like her. Ru abbass, bbc news. Much more on the situation in gaza on our website. As we heard in our interview with lord cameron, the mp for dover, Nathalie Elphicke, who defected from the conservatives to labour last week, has been accused of Lobbying Ministers over her former husbands Sexual Assault court case. Her spokesman has dismissed the claims. 0ur Political Correspondent nick eardley sent this report. The latest allegation is that Nathalie Elphicke effectively lobbied ministers before her then husbands trial. The allegation if she spoke to thejustice secretary Robert Buckland and suggested that at the time of the trial should be moved to avoid extra publicity. Sir Robert Buckland, who was thejustice secretary at the time, has told the sunday times that she was told in no Uncertain Terms that it would be completely inappropriate to speak to the judge about the trial at all. The bbc has spoken to the robert and he has confirmed that account. Ms elphicke, through a spokesman, has said the claims are nonsense, while the labour party has questioned why the allegations were only made after she defected from the Conservative Party to the labour party. It is another awkward question for the labour party about their newest mp. Remember, many labour mp as were pretty uncomfortable with Nathalie Elphicke being allowed into the party. She was seen as being on the right of the conservatives and a lot of labour mp the a saying why she in the labour party now.

Working parents in england can now apply for 15 hours of government funded free care a week for children from the age of nine months. But there are concerns about a shortage of available places and Childcare Providers say the governments hourly rate often doesnt cover their full costs, so parents can be charged extra. Our Business Correspondent marc ashdown has more. The lack of affordable childcare is often one of the Biggest Barriers cited by parents trying to find or get back into work. The government hopes by expanding Free Childcare places to even younger children in england, it might help tip the balance. So many more people can afford to get a job. From today, working parents with a child aged nine months can apply for 15 hours of Free Childcare a week. The places will be available from the start of the september term. It comes after two year old started getting access to 15 free hours a week from april and three and four year olds already qualify for up to 30 hours a week free. The plan is to eventually offer 33 hours to all under fives, but there are concerns that there might not be enough places to meet demand. The Department For Education itself estimates that 85,000 more Childcare Places and 40,000 extra staff would be needed by september 2025. And even though the hourly rate paid to Childcare Providers is going up, some say it often doesnt cover overall costs. So parents can sometimes be charged for extras like meals, nappies and trips to help balance the books. On average, families are paying £158 per week for just a part time childcare place forjust one child. And that went up 7 since last year. And those costs are crippling for families, especially at a time when so many other costs, as we know, have also been rising and leaving parents in a position where they cant afford to work and cant afford to not work. The Prime Minister said todays change delivers on a promise to oversee the biggest expansion of childcare in history. Labour has criticised the plan as a total mess, which it would look to reform, but said it would honour the promises made in this expansion plan. Mark ashdown, bbc news. As summer approaches, increasing numbers are heading to the coast. The idea of banning dogs on beaches during this period is proving quite divisive as phil norton reports. The sound of sunshine coming down. The sun is finally shining, and where better to head than the beach. Four legged friends are very much part of the family. But here in sutton on sea, there is a dividing line. In summer, you cant take your dogs on the beach on this side of the line but you can on this side of the line, and some people say this rule should change. Claire is a dog owner and runs a Dog Exercise Business nearby and says it is outdated, hard to enforce and putting dog owners off visiting the coast. The amenities here are quite a long way down the beach here and we cant go on the beach until we are here so we are missing out on the bars, cafes and ice creams, toilets. If you start in the place where you should be and go for a nice walk along the shoreline, how are you supposed to know when the ban begins. Irresponsible dog owners that should be other than everyone else being punished. Yesterday we went to cleethorpes i and we have to walk miles and then it was like a river. Would that stop you going to cleethorpes again . This one was covered in mud. As we were filming, martin and his dog separate started off on the wrong side of the bad line but were heading to the right light side of it. But a few others, he actually agrees with the ban. I agree with it. The children come, everybody else, we have tonnes of beach to go on. If you have Young Children running around, you dont want dog to on the beach, do you . I am all for it because there is nothing worse than inadvertently stepping in dogs mess on the beach. It is nice to come to the beach and not have to worry about where you are walking or to bump into dogs that you dont really want to greet, whereas the owners think you would like that. Leanne from the resort team supports the van. Team supports the ban. They leave bags of dog poo. We have found many but now since then we have not had one. This council says its priority is to maintain clean and safe public spaces for everyone to enjoy and that last year it reviewed and added more clear signage. It also says the restrictions are needed to help keep the areas blue flag award. Life is not always a beach for mans best friend. Philip norton, bbc news.

Kick off is a 2. 30. Prince harry and his wife meghan are in lagos as part of their three day visit to nigeria. Theyre there to promote the upcoming Invictus Games. One of their engagements today has seen the duke and duchess of sussex join a basketball clinic. Meanwhile on saturday prince harry played Sit Down Volleyball with injured army veterans. Simijolaosho sent this report from abuja. Walking in to squeals ofjoy. Prince harry and meghan spent their day with members of nigerias Invictus Games team. The athletes were keen to show off their sitting volleyball skills. They were soon joined on the court by the duke, who couldnt hide his cheekiness nor his competitive spirit. Not that the players minded. I couldnt imagine playing with prince harry today on the same court. Wow. Its very, very amazing. Im overwhelmed that i will be representing my country in nigeria, in Invictus Games. I feel honored and i feel great today. Maybe well meet him and have a handshake with him. Its a plus. Before leaving the court, a quick goodbye from harry. Meghan was inundated with gifts. Later, speaking at an event for female leaders, the duchess called nigeria her country after a dna test revealed her nigerian ancestry. What has been echoed so much really in the past day by men and women alike is we werent surprised. When we found out when you were a nigerian. Oh, no, no, no. And every single moment that i hear anyone so far talk about what it means to be a nigerian woman, it is the most flattering thing to be in that company, to be in your company. So, yes, its been really eye opening and humbling to be able to know more about my heritage and to be able to know this isjust the beginning of that discovery. A discovery that could lead to more visits to nigeria by the couple. Simijolaosho, bbc news, abuja, nigeria. I will be back at the top of the hour, but now its time to have a look at what the weather is doing. The skies may look a little threatening where you are today, that is certainly not the case everywhere but storms are building across Western Parts of the uk. The warmer and sunnier weather will be further to the east across the country. Lets see what is happening then in the second half of the afternoon. Showers will be breaking out across more Western Parts of scotland but even here they will be quite scattered. The same goes for Northern Ireland under the same goes for other Western Parts of the uk. But where they do occur they wont be very big, they could only be a few miles across. Torrential showers may occur and even flash flooding in places. Warmer and sunnier weather is reserved for more Eastern Parts of the uk. This evening, skies will be clear across some parts of the country and there is a chance again of seeing the northern lights, the aurora borealis. The problem is that there will be showers around and of course we are going back to work tomorrow so perhaps we would be inclined to stay up for too long. Here is the forecast for the morning. Temperatures into double figures and a distinct Weather Front with rain approaching. That really sets the scene for the week ahead. It is going to turn a bit cooler and showers are expected. When i say cooler, a chill in the air, temperatures still above the average it is just not going to be as warm as it has been. Here is the Weather Front for tomorrow. It is going to be slow moving so if you are stuck underneath this cloud and rain it may be a pretty miserable afternoon. Cooler here, yes, 15 16 , but outward to the east in the Sunshine Temperatures will still have around the lower 20s. For example across yorkshire and into east anglia. It is a very slow moving river front and the reason is this area of low pressure has basically packed itself in the south west of these Weather Fronts are just rotating around the low, rather than his whole Weather System just barrelling across the uk. I think for all of us by the time we get to tuesday, temperatures will be typically in the high teens, which is not far off the average for the time of year. That low will just sit around here until it fizzles out. High pressure will try to build in towards the end of the week but i think the overall message is one of Shower Clouds for the week ahead and those temperatures are still a little on the warm side for the time of the year. That is it from me. Thanks for watching. Live from london, this is bbc news. Israel carries out fresh strikes on parts of gaza as it tells palestinians to leave the Southern City of rafah.
