Hello, and welcome to verified live. The United Nations has warned it will be impossible for around a million palestinians to leave Northern Gaza by midnight after israel told them to move for their own safety. The order comes ahead of an expected Israeli Ground offensive. The main un agency in the gaza strip called the order horrendous and warned that gaza was becoming a hell hole on the brink of collapse. The World Health Organization appealed to israel to immediately rescind the order, saying unimaginable Human Suffering is now unfolding. Israel has been air dropping leaflets into Northern Gaza, telling people to leave. Hamas has dismissed the israeli order as psychological warfare. Israel has deployed tanks on gazas boundaries. In a Statement Released after a sixth night of air strikes, the Israeli Defence forces Accused Hamas of using civilians as Human Shields. Theres tension, too, on israels border with lebanon. After a meeting with irans foreign minister, the deputy head of the powerful Lebanese Militant Group hezbollah rejected calls to keep out of the conflict in gaza, saying the group is fully prepared and ready to enter the war against israel when the time comes. Here are live pictures from gaza first of all. They say over 1300 people have died in attacks by hamas. The Health Ministry in palestine since over 1800 palestinians have been killed with over 6000 wounded. And here is our middle east correspondent tom bateman on the latest. Some civilians are heading south from gaza city, already suffering a humanitarian disaster. Theyre on the move after the israeli army gave 1. 1 Million People 2a hours to flee their homes. Everything is threatened, says this woman. How long will this go on . There are no more houses. The whole area is destroyed, she said. With gaza under an israeli siege, the military� s message is all thats getting in, dropped by leaflet, telling civilians to move for their protection after it says hamas waged war on israel. The armed group is calling it psychological warfare, telling people not to heed it. Such a Mass Evacuation in 2a hours is impossible. It would cause chaos, and aid groups say it could have devastating consequences. The forcible relocation of civilians like this, with a 24 hour notice, its Crystal Clear violations of international law. We have reports from our people on the ground that the panic, the chaos in an already traumatised population that is under bombardment like no other is limitless. The israeli bombardment continued into the morning. People wont flee for their own lives when there are still the lives of others to save. With many more dead and power to life saving facilities for the survivors running out. The wounded are still being brought into already packed hospitals which are dangerously low on generatorfuel and medicines. Israel has said it wont lift its block on supplies until its hostages are freed by hamas. And with daylight came more rocket fire from gaza into israel. And the relatives of israels dead and missing are still desperately seeking information. This womans grandfather was killed, her grandmother taken hostage. Like others, she now fears for their fate amid the intensifying fighting. The us defence secretary, lloyd austin, arrived vowing his full backing for israel, and he met the Israeli Defence minister. 0ur neighbours is hamas, the isis of gaza, an organisation enjoying the iranian payroll. I cannot let the world forget the brutal attacks Hamas Terrorists conduct against israeli children, israeli women, israeli elderly and entire families. Washington wants to stop this warfrom spreading, from engulfing the wider region, but israels attempts to push a million palestinians south in gaza also risks greater instability and that is because it puts them closer to the border with neighbouring egypt, and the egyptians have made it clear they wont accept refugees. There are many ways this crisis can now slip much further out of control, and the israeli tanks are still lining up on gazas perimeter. Tom bateman with some of the latest developments today. I michelle wie live pictures again from gaza, and of course the clock ticks because the night at midnight local time, thats a deadline that has been set by the israelis for people to have moved further south and that is 1. 1 Million People that have been told to move. We certainly Seat Trickles of people, but that is a huge task. The un describing that as impossible in terms of the practicalities on that. I talked to the idea but this only a short while ago and we will play some of that interview in a moment lets go to our chief international correspondent. As we edge towards this deadline, your assessment of what was the day has actually brought us in terms of this israeli order and the prospects ahead. ,. , , israeli order and the prospects ahead. ,. , , ahead. Obviously, matthew, we speak about this with ahead. Obviously, matthew, we speak about this with a ahead. Obviously, matthew, we speak about this with a severely ahead. Obviously, matthew, we speak about this with a severely clear about this with a severely clear sense that we dont have a complete view of what is happening. The situation in gaza is so difficult, so dangerous and people who might otherwise be giving us information or on the run, obviously concerned for their insecurity or confronting this torturous decision about whether to obey hamas estate where they are or obey israel and basically run for safety if there is indeed any safety. What we are hearing tonight is that thousands of people are on the move, moving toward the south. Some of them have been speaking to the bbc today talking about their ordeal, how frightening it was, and also the ordeal once they at last make it into the south, trying to find a place to stay when so many places have either been reduced to rubble or theyre already offering functionally sort of many hotels and so many families as we been hearing all week have been squeezed together. So getting to what is supposed to be safety according to this is really order that they will be safer in the south is one thing, but than actually finding a place that you were not sleeping on the streets is quite another. And in the question is, well, once they reach here how long will they stay, how will they feed themselves, will they be able to go back to their homes and this question of when will i be able to go back to my home is one of the more terrifying questions that has marked the entire history of the palestinians, most of whom never went home. Palestinians, most of whom never went home palestinians, most of whom never went home. �. ,. ,. , went home. And of course added to that equation went home. And of course added to that equation is went home. And of course added to that equation is that went home. And of course added to that equation is that we went home. And of course added to that equation is that we seem to i went home. And of course added to that equation is that we seem to be edging ever closer to some sort of Ground Incursion from the israelis. Yes, with the idf saying earlier this week they had made the decision of all the signs are that they are moving towards this position. But i think militarily there is still work to do. They have had that nonstop by margaret now for nearly a week. Every night and every early morning, telling us that they have bombed hundreds, sometimes thousands of targets, hitting hamas infrastructure, try to destroy their communications network, all the built buildings and facilities 11 to operate in gaza. We think that this order to move within 2a hours from the north of the gaza strip is also because they want to get out those tunnels, those Vital Networks underground where hamas fighters are taking refuge, where they are storing their provisions, all of their Vital Communications as well as military hardware. They are absolutely crucial to the functioning of this hamas military machine. Israel wants to destroy as much of it as it can before it makes that very difficult, but it seems now essential decision about when and how to move in on land. Weill. And how to move in on land. Well, thanks very and how to move in on land. Well, thanks very much and how to move in on land. Well, thanks very much for and how to move in on land.

So we really are seeing a continued further deterioration and the prospect of things that were ust the prospect of things that were just unfathomable just a week ago. Speaking just unfathomable just a week ago. Speaking to the us Secretary Of State in qatar a moment ago, he said that israel had to take every possible precaution to avoid gaza civilian deaths but he also spent quite a lot of time talking about those hamas atrocities comes looking about the hostages taken, talking about the hostages taken, talking about the hostages taken, talking about the killing of children. He said this is not retaliation, this is defending itself. In terms of the american assessment of what is going on here and your assessment of what is required, how much of a gap is between the two .

There is no justification for them period. The bloodshed, though, did not start on october bloodshed, though, did not start on October The 7th. We are hearing about October The 7th. We are hearing about a October The 7th.

Palestinians live in a reality of apartheid and structural violence reality of apartheid and structural violence. None of those things justify violence. None of those things justify killing civilians, but to simply justify killing civilians, but to simply ignore the context as though everything began on October The 7th is to misconstrue reality. We are here is to misconstrue reality. We are here precisely because for too long all parties here precisely because for too long all parties have committed unlawful attacks all parties have committed unlawful attacks with impunity because for too long attacks with impunity because for too long we have allowed a daily reality too long we have allowed a daily reality of too long we have allowed a daily reality of apartheid for palestinians to stay in place, so what palestinians to stay in place, so what the palestinians to stay in place, so what the us should be calling for is vital humanitarian aid to be allowed in, vital humanitarian aid to be allowed in.

Let mejust come to the latest lines they are just coming to me here as we were listening to that final answer. Firstly the is really military say it has confirmed that there are at least 120 captives in gaza, so a new number being put there by the israeli military. And of the line coming from the white house, from joe biden, saying the president has spoken with Family Members of 14 americans unaccounted for after those hamas attacks. So of course with those thoughts going on in qatar, so much of it focused on trying to make progress, the Prime Minister saying that in that News Conference that they are hoping in the next few days to make progress on Hostages Butjoe Biden has spoken with members of families of americans unaccounted for and the military in israel saying they have confirmed at least 120 captives in gaza. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. The uk will send two Royal Navy Ships and Surveillance Aircraft to the Eastern Mediterranean in plans to bolster security. The aircraft will begin patrols on friday to Track Threats to regional stability such as the transfer of weapons to terrorist groups. Three Merlin Helicopters and Royal Marines are also being dispatched. In brighton, a 22 year old woman has been arrested on suspicion of supporting hamas at a demonstration. The group has been declared a Terrorist Organisation in the uk. Hamas members, or those who are found guilty of inviting support for the group, can be jailed for up to 14 years. The metropolitan police says london has seen a massive increase in reports of Anti Semitism since the conflict erupted. In the past two weeks, there have been 180 offences and incidents, compared with 26 in the same period last year. Rishi sunak called the rise disgusting, adding extra funding had been given to protect jewish institutions. Youre live with bbc news. Lets return to one of the interviews i did a little earlier on the programme. I spoke to Lieutenant Colonel peter lerner, who served 25 years in the Israel Defense forces. I asked him if they considered the un request to stop the Evacuation Plan is been announced for gaza. Irate plan is been announced for gaza. We will plan is been announced for gaza. Will continue our mission to destroy it hamass capability. That is our mission. That is what we are doing. People need to listen to our warnings. We are happy to see people are listening and not listening to what hamas is telling them and they are going south. That is what needs to be able minute. The idf has recruited some 300,000 reservists to be able to prepare for the next age if there is a grand operation. We need to be prepared and we need to be able to mobilise if the government instructs us to do so. At this time we are conducting strikes against hamas. Their terrorist infrastructure, their leadership from the top all the way down to the butchers that mutilated and killed and burned israelis in their bedrooms. We are determined to remove this threat once and for all. I will come back to that final point injust a second, i will come back to that final point in just a second, but before that, that hamas killed an unprecedented number of israelis is not in doubt. That they committed unspeakable evil, butchery, men, women and children, that is not in doubt, but hundreds of palestinians have now been killed and many of them are children. They are not the ones that carried out those atrocities, or they . Carried out those atrocities, or the . ,. Carried out those atrocities, or the . ,. , carried out those atrocities, or the . ,.

The Palestinian People and the people of gaza are not our enemies. | people of gaza are not our enemies. Hamas is the enemy of israel, and they cannot be permitted to be the Governing Body that utilises the civilian arena, that mobilises from within the territory and attacks from and uses the gaza strip as a Staging Ground for slaughter in israel. That cannot be permitted. That is what we are out of stock, andindeed that is what we are out of stock, and indeed they have failed the people of gaza miserably. And they are sacrificing them as we speak. Abs, are sacrificing them as we speak. A final thought them because you talked about a possible Ground Incursion. Do you think that objective of wiping out hamas is remotely possible . I objective of wiping out hamas is remotely possible . Objective of wiping out hamas is remotely possible . I think we are determined remotely possible . I think we are determined that remotely possible . I think we are determined that they remotely possible .

I think we are| determined that they will never be able to attack our people again. That is not met about that number, 1300 people, thats families torn to pieces by the actions that were instructed by this government of hamas. By the organisation of hamas. That is what they are doing. That is how they have done it and i need to pay. So i would say, yes, we are determined that organisation would no longer exist and that they will be removed and that their operations will be a very, very bleak comment, side comment in the history of humankind. And there atrocities will be a red flag for any of those that seek to conduct terrorism against israel and against all the decent people of the world. That israel and against all the decent people of the world. Israel and against all the decent people of the world. That was peter lerner talking people of the world. That was peter lerner talking to people of the world. That was peter lerner talking to me people of the world. That was peter lerner talking to me a people of the world. That was peter lerner talking to me a little lerner talking to me a little earlier on todays programme from the idf. As we are watching here live, the us or terry estate Antony Blinken is in qatar having talked to said that every country needed to condemn hamass actions and the focus now is to create safe zones for civilians in gaza. Focus now is to create safe zones for civilians in gaza. There can be no more business for civilians in gaza. There can be no more business as for civilians in gaza.

James, the key very much digging us through all of that nomadic developments, quite a flurry in the last hour or so was that when we are back we will get the latest on the hostages and talking to one person whose mother had been taken hostage we will hear his accounts in a moment or two. Thats here at abc news. Hello there. Good afternoon. Plenty of rain around today, particularly across southern england and wales, along with still that milder air lingering on. Further north, colder air, but also some sunshine. And were all going to be coming into those chillier feeling conditions as we head through the weekend. So feeling a lot more like autumn. Temperatures dropping below the seasonal average this time. It will be windy, but there will be a lot of sunshine around as well. And this is the position of the Weather Front on friday. Its going to be pushing further southwards and eastwards as we head through the rest of the afternoon. That cold front sweeping away the milder air into this evening and overnight. Behind the Weather Front, theres quite a lot of sunshine around, but also some showers just streaming down on that north westerly wind. Its quite a brisk wind, certainly towards exposed coastal areas, and especially out towards the far north east of scotland and the northern isles. Quite windy conditions developing here later on. Still, that milder air lingers on towards the south and the east. A lot chillier, 10 to 14 degrees celsius for much of north west england, Northern Ireland and scotland. So some heavy downpours of rain through the evening rush hour for the south east. The rain clears away. Chillier overnight tonight with lots of clear skies around and temperatures dropping back to around three to seven degrees celsius. So noticeably colder into saturday morning. And then on saturday, with our Weather Fronts across europe, weve got the north westerly winds still, some gales in association with this area of low pressure out towards the north east of scotland. And of course, that colder feeling air streaming down from the north. So feeling very different, a lot more like autumn. There will be a lot of sunshine around, but do watch out for some showers that will blow through Northern Ireland, perhaps north west england and down through north west wales. Some of the showers could even turn out to be a bit wintry over the high ground, perhaps, at times. Still strong winds for the northern isles, for aberdeenshire. Elsewhere, a brisk north westerly and temperatures peaking between nine and 13 degrees celsius. So quite a drop there. On saturday night, again, plenty of clear skies. The winds will lighten a little and many of us could see a touch a ground frost as we head into sunday morning. So the coldest night of the autumn so far. On sunday, therell still be a lot of sunshine. Some showers across the far north of scotland. The winds will be lighter, so it wont feel quite so chilly. But temperatures lower, ten or 11 degrees.
