1200. welcome. antony blinken has arrived in israel, in a show of us solidarity after the weekend's unprecedented attack by hamas militants, he will meet israel's prime minister netanyahu, as the us and other nations try to prevent a wider conflicter runs in the middle east. he will try to secure the release of hostages kidnapped by hamas, some of whom are americans. his visit comes amid growing diplomatic pressure to get essential sup supplies into guards which has been sealed off. these are some of to other key developments this hour. the united nations says more than 33,000 people have now been forced to flee their homes in guards and food, fuel and water are urgently needed. ahead of a possible incursion into gaza binyamin netanyahu has established a national emergency unity government with opposition leader benny gantz, israel has continued its mobilisation of troops, hundreds of thousands of them are on the southern boundary, with gaza, president biden says he has told mr netanyahu that israel must abide by the rules of war, in its fight against hamas. all this as air strikes on gaza continue, killing more than 1200 people. the health ministry says at least 51 people have been killed overnight. israeli media has said the number of those killed since hamilton mass�*s brutal attacks on saturday has risen to at least 1300. let us go back again, to the scene live in gaza where in the past few hours the health ministry has confirmed that total. 1200 palestinians have been killed in retaliatory israeli air strikes since saturday. a similar number of people in israel are now thought to have been killed this in the multiple assaults by hamas at the multiple assaults by hamas at the weekend. the israeli military says that figure includes at least 220 soldiers. 0ur correspondent nick beake israel says hundreds of thousands of its troops are gathering outside gaza and warns they'll soon be moving into the hamas controlled territory as part of its response to the atrocities committed on israeli soil. alongside this show of military force, a war cabinet has been formed. translation: citizens of israel. this evening we have established a national emergency government. the people of israel are united and today its government is united. we are fighting a cruel enemy, worse than isis. in washington, president biden pledged unwavering support for israel. americans are among the up to 150 hostages feared to have been taken into gaza and among those killed in hamas�*s assault. this attack was a campaign of pure cruelty. notjust hate but pure cruelty against the jewish people. and i would argue it's the deadliest day forjews since the holocaust. the deadliest day since the holocaust. this is what gaza looked like in the early hours of this morning. plunged into darkness after its only power station shut down. israel has cut off electricity supplies to these densely populated palestinian communities. many are now in ruins after being bombarded by israeli air strikes over the past five days. the un says essential supplies of food, fuel and water must be allowed to reach civilians. translation: we left our homes thinking that we would _ return in an hour. we left our belongings, money, food and everything we owned. now there are 50 people in the house without food, drink, water or electricity. i do not know how we'll provide food for our children. i'm searching here under the rubble for the remains of lentils and rice, even a little for my children. israel says hamas's attacks justified this response, that this is an act of self—defence. but israel is accused of breaking international law, killing hundreds of civilians in an act of revenge. this is the latest footage released by the israeli military showing their bombardment of gaza. they say it will continue until hamas is wiped off the face of the earth. as the calls become even more urgent for aid to be allowed in and for civilians to be given a way out. nick beake, bbc news, tel aviv. well, we heard from israeli prime minister netanyahu in nick's report, joining his war cabinet is the main opposition leader and mr netanyahu's long time rival benny gantz, after agrees to form an emergency unity government to manage the war with hamas. and the news conference mr bants, a former army commander said it sent a strong message. translation:— it sent a

continuing to monitor the impact of israeli air strikes in gaza, several videos released by the israel defence force have shown their attack, israel defence force have shown theirattack, one israel defence force have shown their attack, one was on the islamic university of gaza, targeted between the 10th and 11th of october. now this is a satellite image of what the university looked like before the university looked like before the strike, bbc verify matched the distinctive shapes to know this image was taken after the strike. you can see the damage there, now israel says hamas was using the university as a training camp for weapons development and military intelligence. that is a claim we haven't been able to independently confirm. now these images show an area before the strikes, and then this is the satellite image of that same neighbourhood, which came through yesterday, and has been located by our colleagues at bbc verify, again the damage clearly visible there. earlier i spoke to our correspondent in gaza rushdi abualouf and he told me about the continuing bombardment by israeli forces. . ., , ., continuing bombardment by israeli forces. . ., ., forces. . overnight there

about 50 people were killed. one of the significant targets, were in a refugee camp in gaza, located near the beach, and they said israeli air strike destroyed two houses and many civilians were kill confidence. some videos and pictures on social media showing kids being dragged from under the rubble. i was passed by the hospital this morning, a queue of long ambulances are waiting to deliver the casualties to the emergency room where hospitals are overwhelmed by the number of people injured, more than 6500 people are injured, more than 6500 people are injured since saturday, hospital are appealing for people to donate blood, they said we are running out of essential medical equipment, and they said we are running out of fuel. israel cut the electricity, on saturday, and the only power station that was providing a bit of power forer the essential services has been stopped yesterday, due to the fuel shortages, and caused severe disruption to the water network, to guards, so most of the house, they don't have water in their house, i was passing by a street where hundreds were gathered round a tank, water tank and people were queueing to fill their bottles. talking to these people, what the most they are worried is the news of israeli bringing taps near the borderfor a possible ground operation. people lived this ex % back in 2014 when hamas and israel were fighting street to street, and house to house, and several locations across, near the border and thousands of people were killed, hundreds of houses were destroyed so the people they knew what the is the mean of having israeli tanks in a densely populated neighbourhoods, and what is fight could be. we have been hearing there are no options for people, essentially, to go to safety. we have been hearing of hospitals, people in their thousands turning up at hospitals hoping to be safe there. what is the sense among the people you are talking to about what they can do and where they can go?— talking to about what they can do and where they can go? yeah, i have been to the — and where they can go? yeah, i have been to the hospital, _ and where they can go? yeah, i have been to the hospital, yesterday, - and where they can go? yeah, i have been to the hospital, yesterday, to l been to the hospital, yesterday, to meet a doctor there, but i was surprised by a number of people displaced and taking the hospital as a shelter. the un said about 300,000 people are already in the un schools and they said this is over the capacity and they are unable to accommodate any more people, so people have no place to go, they decide to go to the hospital. they are everywhere in the hospital, in every corner you find a family in the grounds, sitting, sleeping in the grounds, sitting, sleeping in the ground, grief the hospital is safe. when you ask anyone, where are you going? they said we have no place to go in gaza, there is no shelter, the only place to go is the un institutions and the un schools, and they are overwhelmed. they have more than the capacity of these places, we are not talking about shelters, we are talking about schools that are turned into a temporary shelters for people, and, since, the crossing is closed, everyone the un couldn't bring food, water and some essential help to those who are taking shelters in the un schools, so the situation is deteriorating in a very fast way and people are expecting more to come. and that was our correspondent in gaza. just as we were hearing from rushdi abualouf, you will see the pictures come up, that was a huge explosion thatjust happened in the last minute or so, and i thinkjust a graphic illustration of the fact those israeli air strikes are still very much continuing into gaza, lots of figures changing all of the time but the latest we have according to the israeli media, they are talking about more than 1300 people they say have been killed in gaza since those air strikes were launched with something like 338,000 people displaced, and you heard rushdi abualouf talking about the conditions on the ground, in gaza, let us not forget a small area, but very densely populated, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, containing more than two million people, and as we can see from those pictures we can hear the sound there, of those air strikes continuing so we will be leave back in gaza throughout the programme, to give you the very latest up there, but let us take you somewhere else in israel. thailand is the southern israeli town of ashkelon hit by hamas rockets at the weekend. now there have been fresh attacks in the past 24 hours, and israeli forces have been passing through ashkelon, you can see it on the map there, as they move towards the border with gaza, earlier i spoke to our chief international correspondent lyse doucette who is on the outskirts, this is how she we were allowed toed go closer, and about a mile from where we are today, but there were so many rockets being fired by hamas, that it into that area, israel's iron dome was in action for hours to try to intercept them. the much van�*ted air defence system. we have had to push back, but everyone from here, we can see there a constant treatment, this road is quiet but a scone strandy stream of huge lorry, white, unmarked. heading to the front. no doubt taking provision, supplies to the edges, and as we have been reporting have been massing on the border, that armour is getting into place, this is a highly complex, and very risky operation, and they have been working on it, since those horrific first hours of saturday morning when israel was caught off guard by ham males's to use the word unprecedented assault. now israel knows it has got to show, it has to do the business of keeping its own citizens safe. and that was lyse doucette our chief international correspondent. round the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. so let us look at some of the other stories making the new, the uk economy grew by 0.2% in august, that is according to the latest figures, the office for national statistics says there was strong growth in service, which was partially off set by falls in manufacturing and construction. in contrast, some sectors fared poorly such as arts entertainment and recreation, people across the uk are being asked for their views on plans to reduce the number of teenagers and children using e—cigarette, government proposals include banning certain flavours, restrictions on single use vapes and making vapes more expensive. the scottish and welsh governments have already said they are o posed to single use vapes. and are o posed to single use vapes. and a crane will remove the trunk of the world famous sycamore gap tree from hadrian's wall two weeks after—chopped by by vandal, the national trust is asking people to stay away because of the complexity of the task, the trunk will be kept safe until a decision is made about its future. you are live with bbc news. thank you forjoining us. the israeli military has said no decision has been made yet on any ground incursion into gaza but they are preparing for it. our international editorjeremy bowen has this update on the troop build up has this update on the troop build up and a warning, his report contains details and images some viewers may find in the fields and farms on the border wire, israel's combat soldiers are creating jumping off points to invade gaza. at kibbutz berri regular units and some of more than 300,000 mobilised reservists were preparing for the order to move in that most israelis believe will come. the buildup that we're seeing here is certainly the clearest evidence that i've witnessed that israel is preparing for a ground operation in gaza. and if you add this to the formation of a war cabinet, you can see the direction they must be going in. israel's allies are gathering. antony blinken, the us secretary of state, is flying in from washington. american support includes weapons and moving an aircraft carrier battle group closer to deter iran's allies in lebanon from joining the war. the united states has israel's back. we have the back of the israeli people. we have their back today. we'll have it tomorrow. we will have it every day. in their safe rooms, millions of israelis are praying, waiting, often frightened now that assumptions they had about their safety have crumbled. their government says what it's doing in gaza is defending them. but only a few miles from this family in ashkelon, israel's onslaught raises questions about whether it's breaking the laws of war. in gaza, israel has caused immense damage in only five days. international humanitarian law obliges belligerents obliges belligerence to protect civilian lives. israel says all this is legitimate self—defence against hamas. but it's also cut off supplies of water, food, fuel and power to more than two million people and killed hundreds of civilians. i've lost my father, my brother, my uncle, two cousins, two other family members and my pregnant wife. i'm the only survivor. back in israel, videos are still emerging from the hamas attack last saturday. security cameras showed two women trying to escape a hamas gunmen. somehow he misses them. armed israelis arrive. and the man who wanted to murder them either retreats or is killed. and at a hospital near tel aviv, signs of the tension in israel. a visiting government minister gets a furious reception. a nurse yells, "they've been helped by every kind of civilian, but the government has given them nothing. the military buildup might steady israeli nerves. and the defence minister said we will wipe hamas off the face of the earth. jeremy bowen, bbc news in southern israel. we have been hearing from the israeli president, he is head of state and not a politician but he has strong words for israel's enemies. we are not retaliating. we are targeting, we are targeting the enemy, in order to up root the capability of the enemy, to carry on with this compiegne of destroying israel, trying to destroy this part of an empire of evil, which has its claws all round us, from north, with his brother, from the south, from hamas and islamichhad, look round us in the entire region, look at the havoc they have created, everywhere iran has touched, in yemen, in syria, in iraq, in lebanon, this is what i spoke about in the joint session of congress in the middle of july, where i explain that it was always or dream to make peace with our neighbours but with cannot sceptre roar. the israeli air force has said today its war plains have hit round 200 targets focussing on the centre of gaza city and the southern town of khan younis, residents have been using their hands to dig through the rubble to search for survivors and body, the united nations says round 137,000 people from gaza are sheltering at un schools which are at 90% sheltering at un schools which are at 90% capacity. as we've been reporting, america's top diplomat, antony blinken, has arrived in israel to discuss measures to bolster its security. in an address tojewish community leaders at the white house...(tx leaders at the white house. president biden described saturday's assault as an �*act of sheer evil�* and the deadliest day forjews since the holocaust. the white house says 22 americans are known to have been killed, with 17 americans unaccounted for. mr biden also said he'd told benjamin netanyahu that israel must abide by the rules of war in combating hamas: i've known bibi for over 40 years. we have a very frank relationship, i know him well. and the one thing that i did say, that it is really important that israel, all the anger and frustration and just the — i don't know how to explain it — that exists, is that they operate by the rules of war. the rules of war, and there are rules of war. you are looking at live pictures are once again from gaza, graphic evidence the air strikes are continuing, as we have been telling you the us secretary of state antony blinken arrived in israel, earlier today, shingai nyoka, our correspondent in washington, says mr blinken has a number of priorities for his visit to israel. we'll deliver that message that the us has israel's back but he is also expected to talk about the hostage situation. there are about 150 hostages, some of them we understand are americans and, even though the us government is saying that it is a handful of people, the us is understandably concerned and trying to get those hostages released. and among the members of this delegation to israel are hostage expert. shingai nyoka, our correspondent in washington, but i think also, importantly, as you mentioned, president biden spoke earlier to thejewish community leaders and expressed his support for israel but also made some very distinct statements. he said, for example, that he had urged benjamin that he had to on wednesday to follow the rules of law after the israeli prime minister vowed to destroy hamas. and so what we are seeing is that this message of constant support is still there but it has been toned freely for the first time with the message urging some restraint. and obviously there are a lot of concerns by members of the international community, the united nations has pointed it out as well as the european union, they are afraid about what this planned ground attack will mean for the palestinians that are trapped inside gaza. a bit of breaking new, obviously much concern about the potential for violence to spread, from the boundary between gaza and israel, i want to bring you news that reuters are reporting from ramallah, in the west bank saying israeli settlers have killed two palestinians in the occupied west bank today. this is according to the palestinian health ministry. reuters goes on to say that witnesses say a father and son were shot when settlers opened fire at the funeral of four palestinians who were killed by armed settlers and israeli soldiers in a village near the northern city of nablus on wednesday, so we will have more when we get it. let me also bring you a statement obviously, reaction to what has been happening in the middle east has been coming in from round the world, including from the duke and duchess of sussex. this is what they have said in a statement at the archewell foundation with prince harry and meghan, the duke and duchess of sussex, the statement says we stand against all acts of terrorism and brutality. we are supporting our partner organisations on the front lines in israel, to provide the urgent aid needed and to help all innocent victims of this unconscionable level of human suffering. do stay with us here on bbc news: the both the weather is change, it will turn colder than it has been. we have this weather front draped across england and wales producing cloud and also some patchy light rain and drizzle, a lot of this will ease through the day, to the north of that, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine but blustery showers coming in across the north and west with the winds strengthening and later too, we will see heavier rain coming into the south—west. these are our temperatures, 10—17 north to south, potentially 20 in the channel islands. now through the rest of the afternoon, into the evening and overnight we have heavy rain crossing england and wales with strengthening winds, at the same time a weak weather front will introduce cloud and patchy rain so not as cold a start to the day tomorrow as this morning and still mild in the south. as we head through the day tomorrow, what you will find is this weather front is pushing further north, this one is heading a bit further south and eventually the two will meet. and we are looking at a pretty wet day. we will see some large rainfall totals in a short amount of time. showers clearing the far south—east in the morning and still a windy day, particularly in the north, the winds easing through the day as we push further south. still, temporarily mild in the far south, but that will change because as this weather front clears the rain away, it opens the door for clears the rain away, it opens the doorfor all clears the rain away, it opens the door for all of clears the rain away, it opens the doorfor all of us to clears the rain away, it opens the door for all of us to a northerly or a north—westerly wind, and that is represented by the blues in the chart, indicating the drop in temperature, so we will see temperatures more likely we would expect in autumn but for some it will be below average for this time of the year, so in summary this weekend, we are looking at chilly days and cold nights with frost, sunny spell, we will even see snow on the top of the mountains in scotland. so on saturday itself, very windy across the north of the country with showers blowing in on that north—westerly wind, for most it will be dry though, a fair bit of sunshine, but temperatures down 8—13 degrees being the maximum north to south. and then as we head on into sunday, there will be fewer showers but still a bit more cloud in the north—west, and once again, with lighter winds, north—west, and once again, with lighterwinds, it north—west, and once again, with lighter winds, it is still going to us secretary of state antony blinken has arrived in tel aviv in a short show of solidarity with the real, meeting both israeli and palestinian leaders, as every israeli hold funerals for those killed in hamas. the united nations says israel's bombardment of the gaza strip has left nearly 340,000 palestinians homeless. there is diplomatic pressure to find other ways to get food and essential aid into gaza and civilians out as if you says the siege will not end until hostages are released. if you continues to bring trip to the boundary line with gaza but says no decision has been made yet on any ground incursion.
