Hamas claims israel struck the hospital. Israel denies struc it. Fault they say a Faulty Hamaset Rocket fired from gaza hit their own hospital. Number one, israe numl does r target places like hospitals. Theyre not a target for us. S ouldnt and we wouldnt have deliberately hit a hospital.

Position, hope springs. Across gaza, bbcjournalists captured the reaction. Of those convinced, perhaps prematurely, that a ceasefire will happen. Translation the feeling is indescribable. Were so happy were going back to our home in gaza city. Were refugees from the north and we fled here, this young man says. Were so happy theres a ceasefire. Israelis are still absorbing the news.

Now on bbc news, unspun world withjohn simpson. Hello, and thanks forjoining me for unspun world here at the bbc s london headquarters. The world is in a parlous state, we know that. But supposing the main, the dominant western country, the United States, were to be run by a man who had Open Contempt for nato, admired Vladimir Putin and kimjong un, but seemed to be spoiling for a fight with china. Well, according to one opinion poll this week, that man could be ten points ahead ofjoe biden in the opinion polls. Well, in one opinion poll. That could easily be an anomaly. Yet none of the western governments whose doings i monitor on a daily basis seems to have made the slightest preparation for the possibility that donald trump might very well be back in office in 16 months time.
