to the weather. we start with sunshine but it will turn wet and windy. all the details here on breakfast. it's monday the 16th of october. hospitals in gaza could run out of fuel within the next 2a hours, according to the united nations, as it appealed to israel to allow humantarian aid into the territory immediately. gaza is governed by hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organisation by many governments, including the uk. the un has called on the group to release the israeli hostages taken last week. more than one million palestinians living in gaza have been told by israel to move south, as it prepares for its ground offensive and basic resources are becoming increasingly scarce. the us presidentjoe biden has backed israel's military action and said he believed they would do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians." 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest. along the border, israel is ready for attack, after more than 1,400 people were killed by hamas. it says it will soon enter the gaza strip to target every one of its sites, commanders and fighters. but the offensive is likely to result in the deaths of many palestinians. gaza was pounded again overnight and many of the more than one million people, who were warned by israel to leave the north of the territory have already fled south. but, basic resources in khan yunis, a town where many have headed, are at breaking point. translation: we were in gaza and we moved i here and we are suffering. there is no fuel, no electricity, no water or anything. we are waiting for our turn forfuel. the united nations is raising alarm about the dire situation. its humanitarian 0ffice warns that hospitals now have less than one day of fuel left to run generators. antonio guterres, the un secretary general, has appealed to israel to allow rapid and unimpeded aid into the territory. he's also called on hamas to release israeli hostages and un officials are urging both sides to act immediately. israel is connecting humanitarian assistance into gaza with the release of the hostages. again, neither should be conditional. and what we're seeing right now, the direction that israel is going to, is going in, they have said they want to destroy hamas, but their current trajectory is going to destroy gaza. meanwhile, a second american aircraft carrier is heading to the middle east, as diplomatic efforts to contain the conflict continue. us secretary of state antony blinken is back injerusalem today for further talks. and president biden said he believed israel would try to limit civilian casualties. they have to go after hamas. hamas is a bunch of cowards. they're hiding behind the civilians. they put their headquarters where civilians are — in buildings and the like. but to the extent that they can separate out and avoid... i'm confident the israelis are going to do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians. israel's response to hamas's brutal massacres is yet to fully play out. but, as troops prepare for a ground invasion of gaza, the consequences will be far—reaching. this region and the wider world are watching. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. 0ur correspondent anna fosterjoins us now from the north of israel, close to the country's border with lebanon. morning to you. there are concerns that the violence, the trouble, might spread to other countries. morning, sally. that is right. there have been concerns for about a week now. what we saw on the northern border yesterday was the most sustained period of sustained fire. for more than an hour we saw has bella, the very powerful military and political group, a proscribed terrorist organisation by many governments including the uk. we saw anti—tank fire coming across this border and israel respondin, firing artillery back towards lebanon. that could cause a real problem, a real escalation on the northern border. when you think of the relatively small size of gaza compared with the length of the border between israel and lebanon, there is a real concern that it could bring the whole middle east region into the war. we saw yesterday and is really soldier and israeli civilian killed in firing on this side of the border and we heard late on yesterday, israel's defence minister and a representative from hezbollah yesterday. the problem will be if there are missteps in this regular exchange of fire and one side goes too it grow the market could grow far bigger than anyone once and have catastrophic consequences. any reaction to the comments byjoe biden so far? there has been strong reaction here in israel throughout. israelis really see the us quite rightly so, as their biggest diplomatic and military ally. from a very early stage the us started to send additional weaponry, stage the us started to send additionalweaponry, it stage the us started to send additional weaponry, it started to send aircraft carriers, it started to send everything israel could need for a war on two fronts. what it has been doing as well is speaking out very vocally as well. you have words and actions. for people here in israel, that is really important. it gives them the backing they need as this walk of this conflict that moves into its next stage. thank you ve much moves into its next stage. thank you very much indeed. _ here in the uk, rishi sunak will set out the government's approach to the crisis when he makes a statement to parliament this afternoon, as mps return to westminster after the party conferences. 0ur political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. henry, what are we expecting from rishi sunak? this is the first time that mps had met in parliament for more than three weeks. a lot of big things have happened in a time in domestic politics. they are all dwarfed, i think it is widely recognised, by the situation in the middle east and its gravity. that is what rishi sunak will be talking about in the commons today and that, i expect, is what will be dominating his energies and the government's energies four days if not weeks to come. what i expect we'll hear from rishi days if not weeks to come. what i expect we'll hearfrom rishi sunak in the commons today is a restatement on the government because my position on this, really, they utterly condemn the attacks by hamas, they support israel's right to defend itself and to degrade her mass plasma capabilities in gaza but that they concerned for civilians, the risk to civilians in gaza. —— hamas's capabilities. there is a complete political consensus around those positions. everything rishi sunak says in the commons today i expect to be completely supported by sir keir starmer in the labour party. there are some slight nuances of opinion on the labour backbenchers but i emphasise slight. there is consensus about how the government has responded to what has happened in israel endows us so far. the other thing we are expecting from rishi sunak is to reassure the small british jewish from rishi sunak is to reassure the small britishjewish community which has seen a steep rise in anti—semitism in recent days. last anti-semitism in recent days. last week the anti—semitism in recent days. last week the government pledged £3 million of support to a charity working to combat anti—semitism in the uk. that the other thing we should expect from rishi sunak today. this is worth bearing in mind that what they will hear from rishi sunak today will not be the last time we will hear him talking about it. this crisis is dominating mines in whitehall and i suspect it will do full time to come. == in whitehall and i suspect it will do full time to come. -- dominating minds. more foreign prisoners would be transferred to jails in their home countries, under proposals to be outlined today by the justice secretary, alex chalk. he's due to set out plans in the commons for reducing the number of people in prison in england and wales. last week, it emerged that prisons were approaching full capacity, with the number of inmates at an all—time high. scottish national party delegates have backed humza yousaf�*s plan to use the next general election result to push for a second independence referendum. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is at the party's conference in aberdeen for us this morning. morning to you. great to see you. what more can you tell us? morning, sally. the big idea of the smt is if it wins the majority of seats at the next general election it could go to the uk government and say it needs another general election. in some cases it settles an internal debate. the snp has been arguing for years about how to get another referendum. humza yousaf hopes by setting that debate they can talk about other stuff like the cost of living. there are big problems and big challenges, it may be, is a better way to put it with this strategy. the uk government is going to say no to another referendum, whether it is conservatives or labour. support for independence is still high but not be settled well, not consistently over 50%. although the snp wants to achieve that majority in scotland, the polls suggest they are probably going to go backwards, they might struggle to get it. hard to say after a general election where you have lost a number of seats, actually we are demanding this thing we have been told we are not getting full sometime. i think they will move on from that and talk about other things like the cost of living and the health care system in scotland. the backdrop to all of this is an snp that is facing a tough time in the polls, struggling tough time in the polls, struggling to get back on the front of that. thank you very much. thirty charities and non—profit organisations have written a joint letter to the prime minister, urging him not to abandon plans to remove the right of landlords in england to evict tenants for no reason. the legislation was promised four years ago, but there are fears its progress has stalled. the government said it would resume its progress through parliament "shortly. " the reality of a&e waiting times in wales has been seriously under—reported for a decade, the bbc has revealed. the royal college of emergency medicine says missing data the royal college of emergency medicine says thousands of hours are missed from monthly figures and that senior a&e doctors have been raising the issue for months. the welsh government said it would ask health boards for assurances that the data was absolutely transparent. poland's opposition coalition — led by the former european council president donald tusk — has claimed victory in the country's general election. an exit poll suggests that the governing law and justice party has won the most seats but won't have enough to govern. it ploughed really wintry last night. have you put the heating on? have you done it? you have. you have weakened. i let myself down. i put on for five minutes just to take the edge off. how was your weekend? glorious. wasn't the sunshine lovely? it was for most parts of the uk. if you are on half term break this week, the first half of the week is certainly better. a breeze will be picking up over the next few days. we will see windy conditions and rain at times. 0ut there at the moment, it is dry and chilly for the vast majority. here are the latest temperatures. the coldest commute we have had for a while. freezing in parts of england and scotland in particular. later in the day we could catch one or two into east anglia and the south—east. elsewhere sky is not as blue as they were at the weekend. more by way of high cloud. cloud thickening up as they can occur at times in the south and south—west. temperatures around 11 to 14 south—west. temperatures around 11 to 1a degrees. still cloud in places. when it is thinnest in parts of scotland and northern ireland, we will see temperatures drop the feathers. the chance of frost into tomorrow morning. the breeze will be picking up and the cloud thickening further into tomorrow. tomorrow we will see outbreaks of rain developed logically across cornwall, into devon and south—west wales. another day of sunny spells some of that hazy. the winds latest in the north with the breeze picking in the south. the breeze will pick up further for the rest of the week. we will all see rain at times. back to you. now, there's no escaping there's been a distinct drop in temperatures over the weekend, and many will be worried about how they're going to afford to keep warm this winter. ben, what can you tell us? the energy prices are still really high. if you are anything like me, reaching for the thermostat for the first time, nudging up a bit. the last you days, —— yes, in the past few days, we've heard from the watchdog, 0fgem, that the amount of energy debt many people have built up is ballooning. so much, they say, that it's a threat to both househholds and the industry as a whole. and now scope, the disability equality charity, has said people with disabilities are almost twice as likely to face problems with energy debt than the general population. it says people ringing them for advice and support over their gas and electricity bills have, on average, almost £1,800 of energy debt — more than double the average amount in september last year. the bbc�*s cost—of—living correspondent colletta smith has been finding out more. they've just been delivered, so i have to restock the fridge. susan relies on electricity — everything from her medication to her wheelchair needs power. it has to be kept fully charged. we plugged that in. living on disability payments, she can't cut down on energy. i owe £300 on my gas bill and i owe £145 on my electric. where am i meant to get the money to pay that? i'm scared to use anything. it's a living hell — an absolute living hell. the mental anguish that you go through is... ..very detrimental, very detrimental to your physical being, and if you've got physical health issues. my health has declined a lot in the last year. and you felt more alone? mm. these frontline advisers say energy arrears have spiralled for those with disabilities in the last 12 months. they got into debt last year and it'sjust been building as the year has gone on. a lot of the families that we are talking to, it doesn't matter what season it is, they still need the same amount of energy. there's something every dayjust from speaking to people, who are using candles because they don't want to put the lights on. and, you know, speaking to people who are considering stealing food, so they can afford to top the meter up. does it feel like there's much you can offer people who are ringing for help? there's definitely not as much support this year. there is always that possibility that potentially we can identify some income that they're not receiving. the government promised a consultation about having a cheaper social tariff for those in need, but that's not happened. the government's broken its promise in the long term. a social energy tariff is what's needed to support disabled people. in the short term this winter, there needs to be more financial support. the government says it spent £40 billion helping households last winter and is continuing to help the most vulnerable. but it doesn't feel that way to susan. it's a bit like being on a life support machine and you're just pulling the plug on it. how can we live like this? colletta smith, bbc news in east london. the government says energy bills are falling and, from today, more than three million households will get told they qualify for the warm home discount. it's an automatic one—off £150 payment to eligible, low—income customers in england, scotland and wales to help pay their energy bills over the winter. it also says there's extra money available for disabled people and those receiving means—tested benefits. but, scope told us not all people with disabilities receive the warm home discount and that's because the main disabilities benefits they receive no longer automatically qualify them for this scheme. for any questions you have about energy debt and advice or help, head to the bbc�*s tackling it together pages on the news website. worth remembering we are still relatively early into the winter and people have built up these energy debts already. such people have built up these energy debts already.— people have built up these energy debts already. such a worrying time as they know _ debts already. such a worrying time as they know the _ debts already. such a worrying time as they know the amount _ debts already. such a worrying time as they know the amount they - debts already. such a worrying time as they know the amount they had i debts already. such a worrying time | as they know the amount they had to spend keeping themselves warm when we get into the depths of winter will only get worse and worse and worse. thank you. let's take a look at today's papers. "fury and fear" is the headline on the sun, which carries comments from israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who, the paper says has vowed to wipe out hamas. the sun says israel hopes the ground operation will lead to the rescue of some of the hostages being held in gaza. the times reports on the estimated one million people affected by the conflict in northern gaza and claims mr netanyahu shows "no sign of heeding calls for restraint." the paper says the israeli prime minister is preparing his country's military for a "retaliatory invasion that is likely to lead to a prolonged occupation." "middle east on the brink" is one headline on the daily mirror. the paper says israel is facing a fight "on three fronts" from gaza, lebanon, and syria, amid fears the conflict will escalate into an "all—out war." and the metro reports that israel claims to have killed a hamas chief, who it claims "masterminded" some of last weekend's attacks. the paper says hundreds of people were killed in assaults planned by bilal al kedra, a senior hamas commander. we will continue to get all the reaction and ongoing developments in the middle east because it is changing all the time. we will speak to defence ministerjames heappey to get an update. also the attempt to try to get british people in gaza out in some way and how it might become possible. fans of his comedy will know that sir billy connolly wasn't always a fan of the kilt but he's warmed to it over the years, even wearing one to the tartan day parade in new york. and now, he's loaned that very kilt to an exhibition in dundee. the v&a museum there is displaying the kilt as part of its magnificent people's tartan collection. pauline mclean has the story. archive: why, for bicycling, the up-to-date young man i wears a tartan shirt of lightweight wool and she tapering tartan slacks. it's probably the most famous textile in the world, whether you're dressing up or dressing down, following tradition or rebelling against it. but one things for sure tartan divides opinion. when i grew up, the kilt was a joke. you saw a guy in a kilt when you were a little boy, you shout, "kilty, kilty, cold bum! kilty, kilty, cold bum!" you would no more get married in a kilt than get married in a bloody parachute! but now it's just everybody doing it... bagpipe music ..including billy himself, who's gradually embraced tartan and has now loaned his kilt to a major exhibition at the v&a dundee. he was a late convert to tartan, shall we say. he was always a bit sceptical on the tartan roof when it came to the music hall front. but, later in life, he saw how popular the kilt was getting and of course then he was the grand marshal for the 2019 tartan parade in new york. so of course, he needed an outfit along with that. it's amazing. that noise rattled something in my heart. it's just... i'm three feet off the ground. and this number here was designed by howie nicholsby of 21st century kilts and it's a maclean of duart tartan, which is then associated with billy connolly's family. towards the light again. the key seems to be making it your own, as billy and artist rachel maclean did for this portrait for his 75th birthday. and it's that constant reinvention which makes tartan so enduring. tartan can mean so many different things to so many different people across different communities, organisations, soccer clubs, everything under that wrap, you know, people make tartan their own. it's... you know, it's very much something that is associated with scotland, but it's now a global textile, taking on many meanings. and this global textile could be on an internationaljourney. the v&a dundee have had a number of inquiries about taking the show onwards. that was a report by pauline mclean. do you own a kilt? no, i do not. it would be wrong for me to own one. a lovely story. this is an amazing story as well. as the walt disney company turns 100 — we'll bring you the delightful story of when walt

with katerina. hello there, good morning to you. it's a chilly start to the day with some patchy frost out there this morning. but with a ridge of high pressure in charge over the next few days, it does look to stay quite settled, but this system will push its way in from the south on wednesday, so it will become increasingly breezy, with outbreaks of rain expected a little bit later on in the day. but this morning, it is chilly. any pockets of mist and fog will lift, with plenty of sunshine to follow. perhaps a bit more cloud through this afternoon. still some sunny spells, but you can just see just a few showers clipping onto the coast. but further inland, a lot of dry weather around with a gentle breeze. looking at highs today of around 11 to 12 degrees. now through this evening, we mayjust get one or two showers blowing further inland. there'll be plenty of cloud at first. but by the end of the night, those clear spells will break through and those winds will pick up along the coast. temperatures will fall away to around six to eight degrees. choose to around six to eight degrees. only breezy side. t spells. choose only breezy side. these sunny spells. turning even brazier on wednesday with outbreaks of rain expected later on in the day. that's it for now. there's much more on all of today's stories on our website and the bbc news app. i'll be back in half an hour. but for now, let's cross back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let's return to our main story now, and the situation in the middle east. conditions for people in gaza are worsening, with water, food, power and medicines in scarce supply. the israel defence forces is maintaining two safe evacuation routes and estimate half a million people have left northern gaza so far. this is the live shot in gaza now, where the united nations is calling for israel to grant rapid access of humanitarian supplies, warning that hospitals there will run out of fuel reserves in 24 hours. 0ur gaza correspondent, rushdi abualouf sent us this update earlier, from a hospital in khan younis, in the south of the territory. the humanitarian situation is deteriorating, reaching the level of catastrophic, as the director of this hospital in khan younis told me. they said we have as little as 200 litres of fuel to run the operation for the hospital. they are expecting the hospital. at midnight. this hospital is providing services not only for 4000 people who originally live in khan younis, but for another half million palestinians who are displaced from their homes in gaza city and the north. israeli troops continue to amass near gaza ahead of an expected ground offensive targeting hamas, designated as a terror organisation by many western governments, including the uk. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is expected to have further talks with israeli officials today, after a weekend of meetings with arab leaders. when the us presidentjoe biden was asked if he would support the israeli occupation of gaza at this point, the mr biden told cbs' 60 minutes programme that it would be a big mistake. what happened in gaza, in my view, is hamas and the extreme elements of hamas don't represent all the palestinian people. and i think that it would be a mistake for israel to occupy gaza. but going in and taking out the extremist, hezbollah is up north, but hamas down south is a necessary inquiry and correct —— requirement. we're joined now by defence analyst, justin crump. we saw antony blinken obviously involved in diplomatic negotiations. we know diplomacy is ongoing. what can they achieve? what can they hope to achieve? . , can they achieve? what can they hope to achieve? ., , , ., , to achieve? ultimately, israel is t in: to to achieve? ultimately, israel is trying to thread _ to achieve? ultimately, israel is trying to thread of _ to achieve? ultimately, israel is trying to thread of this - to achieve? ultimately, israel is trying to thread of this needle i trying to thread of this needle almost between rooting out, as president biden said, hamas, its stated intent, also this strong fear of hezbollah in the north, with the fact that they cannot ultimately precipitate a large scale humanitarian crisis in gaza. they have to balance their objectives with the humanitarian need. and i think what we are seeing with diplomacy in particular in the past 48 hours, is a strong message from israel's borders to israel saying, you must not lose the moral high ground. you are the victim of a dreadful terrorist attack last weekend. 0bviously dreadful terrorist attack last weekend. obviously a huge number of losses for the israeli population and constant —— under constant missile attacks since, a terrible situation, but you cannot lose the moral high ground. you must do the right thing wide —— whilst rooting out of the evil that was at the heart of what attack you. trying to do the best possible for the people of gaza is the priority. the people of gaza is the priority. the people of gaza is the priority. the people of gaza have been put between the israeli response and hamas who are sitting behind them and they are trapped in that situation. the prospect of them removing hamas is unfortunately very limited. it is a terrible situation. many stakeholders, and i'm sure diplomacy will actively continue over the coming days to try and bring about the best possible balance. it’s coming days to try and bring about the best possible balance.- the best possible balance. it's no secret that _ the best possible balance. it's no secret that an _ the best possible balance. it's no secret that an israeli _ the best possible balance. it's no secret that an israeli offensive i the best possible balance. it's no secret that an israeli offensive is| secret that an israeli offensive is due to start. what are your thoughts on when the timing of that might be? 0bviously, on when the timing of that might be? obviously, if it was easy to predict, hamas would be able to predict, hamas would be able to predict it as well. israel will be seeking to avoid being too obvious. surprise is a key element in water, even when the —— when somebody knows you are coming. you would imagine israel wouldn't necessarily drop a huge amount of clues about exactly how it starts. these things tend to its accelerate. you start with intelligence preparation. that is going on at the moment. the drums are constantly buzzing over gaza. they are looking for targets. they are building up information. israel is striking for its ease rocket launch positions or locations of known hamas leadership. they have killed a few hamas leaders in the past week. there are some operations on the ground where they think there is a reasonable chance of having information about where one of the hostages might be. 148 on hostages being held by hamas in gaza and israel would like to get them back. they will be able to do that easily. they will be able to do that easily. the final thing that comes behind thatis the final thing that comes behind that is the thing they are waiting for, the ground offensive, the movement of troops. it will be slow and deliberate read who try to invest the cities to thoroughly work. imagine the dense terrain of gaza and the dense network of underground tunnels, known as the gaza metro in some dark corners. the israelis cleared about 5% of that network the last time they were in gaza. they know the scale of the task that lies. help —— that lies ahead. task that lies. help -- that lies ahead. ~ . , task that lies. help -- that lies ahead. ~ ., , . ahead. we are seeing increased tensions between _ ahead. we are seeing increased

refocused on the north _ how might that play out? israel is refocused on the north much - how might that play out? israel is| refocused on the north much more than hamas. that is one of the features that led to hamas achieving surprise. israel well aware of the threat posed by hezbollah and developments in syria. israel are worried about their deep enemy, iran. for israel, they have sent substantial amounts of troops to the north, which may seem counterintuitive when they have so much to do in gaza, but they are very worried about a larger scale repeat of what they saw in the south, in the north, including infiltrations. they are veryjumpy about that at the moment. and of course further missile attacks, from the north. that is the escalation israel is concerned about. it is also the escalation i think the us and the uk are concerned about. that is why the us has one carrier in the region. and a second one on the way currently going across the mediterranean, surrey, across the atlantic. it should be there in a few days. and of course the uk sending support with two auxiliary fleet ships. the realfear behind the scenes been discussed by antony blinken and joe biden in recent days... trying to keep that balance between israel and iran is the huge effort behind the scenes. and i think a lot more attention will go into that. iran has made some pretty clear threats of escalation. nobody knows if that is rhetoric and just a message to israel, or if they would back it up with action. thank you. such a complicated situation. it is changing all the time. you can get more news and analysis on the ongoing situation with a new bbc podcast. the conflict: israel—gaza is presented by our chief international correspondent lyse doucet, and is available now on the bbc sounds app, or wherever you get your podcasts. thoroughly recommend that. it was an incredible weekend of the rugby world cup. some dramatic games. we are going to start by talking about england. lots of people said they couldn't do it. and lo and behold, they keep on going. they do. it was close though, wasn't it? 71 minutes it was 24 all between them and fiji. england knew fiji would be tough because they lost to them in the warm up match before the tournament started. they are through. but the next match is going to be a tough one. south africa and france, wow, high tempo, high quality match. it was a different level. exactly. 0ne it was a different level. exactly. one of the best matches so far. england will play south africa next. after the disappointment of wales and ireland both being knocked out, there will be one home nation in the semi finals of the rugby world cup, but only just. england secured their place in the final four by beating fiji 30 points to 24. however, it was far from straightforward in marseille, as andy swiss reports. into the semifinals, but goodness they had to work for it. relief and delight for england after the most dramatic of wins. they had seemed in total control against fiji. tries from manu tuilagi and joe marchant helping them into a 24—10 lead. but after the break fiji launched a spectacular comeback. two stunning tries, and out of nowhere it was 24 all. but with a cool head and a steady boot, enter 0wen farrell. a drop goal, a penalty and england had done it. after such tension, such relief for the players and the fans. the celebrations could begin. we're so pleased. we're so, so please. felt like it was slipping away at one point, didn't it? but yeah, credit to fiji. they were always going to stick at it, they were going to have a nice purple patch. so, pleased for the boys, pleased for the experienced players stepping up, and really pleased for those boys that deserve another couple of games in an england shirt. for some of those boys it could be some of their last, so, really pleased for them as well. well, what a match, and what a relief for england. they'll need to improve to reach the final. but they're through to the last four in the most dramatic fashion. and next up it's the reigning champions south africa, after they knocked out host france in a quite breathtaking contest. france led 22—19 at the break. but after it, south africa came charging back. eben etzebeth bulldozing the springboks ahead. with a precious one point lead, they clung on to dash the host nation's dreams. heartache for france, but euphoria for the springboks. they'll start as hot favourites against england. but a semifinal blockbuster is surely guaranteed. andy swiss, bbc news. now, it's official, scotland football fans — you can book your flights and hotels for germany next summer, with qualification secured for next year's european championships. and they did it, without kicking a ball. norway had to beat spain to deny scotland progressing, and they couldn't do it, losing 1—0 in oslo. victory for spain also sees them qualify, and puts them top of the group, with two matches left to play. many scotland fans were watching nervously and willing spain to win. this was the reaction to that goal in a pub in glasgow. it's the first time scotland have qualified automatically for a major tournament for 25 years. wales reignited their hopes ofjoining scotland at next summer's tournament with an impressive win against croatia in cardiff. it finished 2—1. harry wilson with both of wales' goals — this was his second. croatia pulled one back, but rob page's side held on for a crucial win. wales now leapfrog their opponents to move second in group d, six points behind turkey, with two games to go. meanwhile, manchester united's women were held to a 1—1 draw by leicester in the women's super league, while manchester city thrashed bristol city 5—0. and everton have theirfirst points of the season, after beating rivals liverpool. it finished 1—0 at anfield — captain megan finnigan with the goal. liverpool have won only one of their last seven wsl games against everton. in the scottish women's premier league, celtic have made it ten wins from ten. they beat partick thistle 3—0 — paula partido duran with their opener. the win keeps celtic top, two points clear of rangers, who beat hibernian 7—0. the biggest shock of the cricket world cup so far has come at england's expense. they were beaten by afghanistan for the very first time and it now means england have lost two of their first three matches, leaving the defence of their title in realjeopardy. patrick gearey reports. making history look easy. for afghanistan, this was a statement, a huge win, but not a close one. belief has carried them along way. rahmanullah gurbaz had conviction. in the opening overs he hammered the english bowlers, unsparing, unsettling. adil rashid changed the direction. england's lead spinner and match turner, with skill and the helping hands of his captain, jos buttler, halted the afghan charge. england on top. but the sun had not yet set on afghanistan. starting as they finished, they smashed their way to 284. so in the delhi darkness they had something to conjure with. what followed was magic. root�*s wicket was big enough, but buttler too? delirium. and the end of harry brook was the moment everyone knew, this was happening. a scruffy england may be able to forget this match, but afghanistan never will. 20 years ago they had no team. now they have beaten the world champions, sensationally, simple. patrick geary, bbc news. after four years away, london broncos are back in rugby league's super league. they came from behind to beat toulouse in the championship grand final. the french side had led 14—4 at half—time, but the broncos fought back with three second half tries to return to the sport's top division. and after winning the men's grand final on saturday, wigan warriors are celebrating once again. their wheelchair team have won their grand final, beating leeds rhinos 50—42 in manchester. the scores were level with seven minutes remaining, but wigan held their nerve to cause a big shock with jack heggie scoring a hat trick of tries. it's a second successive defeat in the final for leeds, who were beaten halifax last year. and leeds were the favourites. vegan very much the underdogs. —— wigan. thank you. busy weekend. a quarter to seven. now, it's a job that needs to be done once a year — herding the feral goats of exmoor so they can be checked out by vets. sounds easy enough, doesn't it? well, our reporter andrea 0rmsby went along with this year's volunteers, and found out that's not always the case. 6:30am, and the famous goats of exmoor�*s valley of rocks are in for a surprise. 0k, everybody, if you could all come in, please, we'll do a safety briefing now before we start the goat round up. thank you very much. the plan is clear. get the goats up the road and into the pens. simple. look after yourselves, and let's go find lots of goats. they're off. and it's not long until a goat is spotted. oh, yeah, right on the edge! the volunteers have split into groups of five, and each takes up a strategic position. looking on with interest, the goats, who watch and wait. we thought we'd be dashing around and chasing goats, but we're actually having to be patient and wait for the approach of the goats. so, it's a different experience. there's a mystery to this, i have to say. word has come that the goats are on the move. time to relocate. 0h, where?! oh, my gosh — there they are! heavens! wow, they're moving. well, we managed to find the herd, but they came over this big rock behind me. and then, because they're mountain goats, they went down the scree towards the sea off the bottom of north walt, which is like 500 foot down into the bristol channel. so we're just letting them regroup for a while. it's never simple, this process? they never do as they're told. well, it's just after eight in the morning now. so far, the goats aren't really playing ball. we're still waiting for them. we know that they're on the cliffs just behind us, and we've got our team here with the orange netting to try to steer them where we want them to go, which is right down there. so now, just a bit more waiting. she yodels # high on a hill like a lonely goatherd.# suddenly, some movement. move along! this is teamwork and action. yeah, all received. we're sort that out now. but then the news they didn't want to hear. well, the people in the know, the goat experts, say the goats have gone over the top, and that's it. and we have to abandon. the weather was kind to us. the goats weren't. they are wild animals. they go where they like. you're in a very difficult terrain. you've got to think of the volunteers' safety at all times. well, for today's scoreboard, it's goats 1, humans 0. it turns out that herding goats is a bit like herding cats. very difficult. it's only the third time in ten years the mission has failed. but everybody is ready for next year. that was andrea 0rmsby reporting. maybe they do need you to go and help. no car, i think they need you to go and help! i sense a feature coming on. matt has got the weather. good morning.— matt has got the weather. good

will change this week. let me run you through the chart for the week ahead. blue colours indicating where temperatures are below normal. notice how the red and amber pushes towards us as temperatures rise above average for the time of year during the second part of the week. they will be a price to pay. it is this area of low pressure which will bring some disturbed weather for holiday makers across portugal, parts of spain and france. increasingly for us it will work outbreaks of rain towards us as we go through the second part of the week. some of it could impact eastern scotland. the isobars towards the north and east an indication that later in the week we will have some pretty strong winds and notjust for a few hours, for a fairly prolonged time through thursday, friday and into the start of next weekend. so certainly the start of the week better than the end of the week. we have got a bit more cloud around in the skies above us today. some hazy high cloud. sunny spells rather than blue skies. a few showers to the east of northern ireland, south—west scotland, central belt as well. later into east anglia and the far south—east. still sunny spells for many. after a frosty started many parts of the uk, temperatures around 11 to 13 degrees. the winds still light. they will be by and large the night. as we go into tomorrow morning, a touch of frost. particularly in the north of the country. more cloud, breeze in the south. that breeze will pick up further on tuesday across southern counties of england, bringing some outbreaks of rain towards cumbria and devon, may be south—west wales. away from that we stay dry with sunny spells. temperatures lifting a little bit. they will lift further through the rest of this week. but there will be some heavy rain and strong winds as well. thank you. a hundred years ago today, the entrepreneur walt disney and his brotherfounded what would go on to become one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. the bbc has been given exclusive access to home video footage taken by walt disney in 1949, he that day changed the future of disney films forever. as our entertainment correspondent colin paterson found out when he went there. a disney fairytale set in lincolnshire. this home movie of walt disney visiting the village of norton disney in 1949, belongs to the walt disney family museum in san francisco, and has rarely been seen. the man who made mickey mouse was in the uk supervising the filming of treasure island, when he took a holiday with his wife lillian and their two daughters, and went hunting for ancestors in norton disney. they were particularly fascinated by what they found in st peter's church. a very, very old little church. 11th century? incredible, yes. that's where i met disney historian sebastian durand. this is the oldest place in england where you can find trace of disney, of walt disney's history and his family tree, and even its coat of arms. here you have a beautiful example. you can see the three lions of normandy. the crest is particularly significant because, in 1965, walt disney wanted to commemorate the tenth anniversary of disneyland. a coat of arms for sleeping beauty's castle was suggested. walt was asked if there was a disney one. and he said, "well, yes, i remember that crest. "i saw it in norton disney in 1949 when i was in england." so they took photographs of it and they reproduced it on the castle at disneyland in california. since then, it is on every disney castle in all disney parks. since 2006, that crest has been seen at the start of every single disney film. at the top of the castle you can see that flag, and that flag comes from norton disney here in lincolnshire. it's kind of incredible to think that this very small lincolnshire village is honoured in every disney film. yes, absolutely. there is one person in norton disney who still remembers the disney visit. and appropriately, they live on disney court. hilda, now 94, was 20 when her brotherjim arrived in the pub with walt disney. i thought, who's that he's bringing in, you know? and then i thought, oh, it's not a bad looking man. so...! anyway, they all came in with his daughters and they was chatty, and they played a game of darts, because we was already playing darts when walt came in, you see. it's quite a thing. the man who's won the most oscars in history coming to your village? yes, i know, yeah. 0h! he's perhaps looking at us now. the pupils at nearby bassingham primary have been learning about disney's local links. happy birthday, disney! and had been celebrating disney's 100th anniversary with art... i'm doing the mickey mouse picture. good. i am, too. me, too. there's a lot of mickey's here. ..and disney show and tell. and who have you brought in? hanna from frozen. what is it you love about hanna? that she's really kind to her sister. she always looks out for her. # the cold never bothered me anyway.# do you have a sister? no. maybe that's why you like it. maybe you'd like a sister in real life. my mum refuses to have another baby. really? church bells ring back at the church, sebastien revealed one other remarkable disney link. there is a charter signed in 1386, that states that disneyland is the name of the estate of the disney family. no! so, the first occurrence of the name disneyland is not in california, at the park, or at disneyland paris, it's from that region here. they had an estate called disneyland in lincolnshire. in lincolnshire? in lincolnshire, absolutely. no way. yes! what happened to it? and there are plans to make more of lincolnshire's disney connection. what we're really after here is creating something positive from this legacy. what we want is a disney trail, to highlight the fact that the disneys also were in other villages locally, and they had disney tombs, there was a disney castle with turrets on, but it's a great place to have a disney story, as well as the myths around it. norton disney, the original disneyland for more than 600 years. colin paterson, bbc news, lincolnshire. coming up to seven o'clock. we are getting reports in the last few minutes about the rafa crossing. you will have heard about it over the weekend. this is the border between southern gaza and egypt. there has been talk about whether it could be opened as some kind of corridor to allow people escaping gaza to get out. you can see it in the bottom left. an escape into egypt. this latest line comes from the reuters news agency. they say the united states, israel and egypt have agreed a ceasefire in the area to coincide with the opening of that crossing. they are quoting two security sources, two egyptian security sources, two egyptian security sources, two egyptian security sources for that information. that information coming from the reuters news agency at the moment. at the same time hamas have said they have got no information about any truce being agreed, so clearly it is the early stages of whatever agreement has been made and what impact it will have the uk government has been trying to put pressure on to have that crossing open to any uk nationals can potentially get out of gaza. we will get the latest from lee stu said in israel on that in the next few minutes. time now to get the

children could eat. it comes amid high inflation rates and an increased cost of living. people who go to work every day, sometimes they have more than one job, are now using food banks. in fact, in

album — 35 years after he promised he'd never give us up, and never let us down. you may not be the biggest man of the weather later this week. things are set to turn cloudier, wetter and windier. a full forecast here on breakfast. it's monday the 16th october, our main story. there are reports in the last half hour that the us, israel and egypt have agreed to a ceasefire starting in around now, to co—incide with the opening of of the rafah border crossing in southern gaza. gaza is governed by hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organisation by many governments, including the uk. the un has called on the group to release the israeli hostages taken last week. that is what the opening of the crossing could potentially lead to. the us presidentjoe biden has backed israel's military action — and said he believed they would do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest. along the border, israel is ready for attack, after more than 1,400 people were killed by hamas. it says it will soon enter the gaza strip to target every one of its sites, commanders and fighters. but the offensive is likely to result in the deaths of many palestinians. gaza was pounded again overnight and many of the more than one million people, who were warned by israel to leave the north of the territory have already fled south. but, basic resources in khan yunis, a town where many have headed, are at breaking point. translation: we were in gaza and we moved i here and we are suffering. there is no fuel, no electricity, no water or anything. we are waiting for our turn forfuel. the united nations is raising alarm about the dire situation. its humanitarian 0ffice warns that hospitals now have less than one day of fuel left to run generators. antonio guterres, the un secretary general, has appealed to israel to allow rapid and unimpeded aid into the territory. he's also called on hamas to release israeli hostages and un officials are urging both sides to act immediately. israel is connecting humanitarian assistance into gaza with the release of the hostages. again, neither should be conditional. and what we're seeing right now, the direction that israel is going to, is going in, they have said they want to destroy hamas, but their current trajectory is going to destroy gaza. meanwhile, a second american aircraft carrier is heading to the middle east, as diplomatic efforts to contain the conflict continue. us secretary of state antony blinken is back injerusalem today for further talks. and president biden said he believed israel would try to limit civilian casualties. they have to go after hamas. hamas is a bunch of cowards. they're hiding behind the civilians. they put their headquarters where civilians are — in buildings and the like. but to the extent that they can separate out and avoid... i'm confident the israelis are going to do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians. israel's response to hamas's brutal massacres is yet to fully play out. but, as troops prepare for a ground invasion of gaza, the consequences will be far—reaching. this region and the wider world are watching. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. we are watching here at the moment to find out more about the opening of the rafah crossing. talks of a ceasefire as well. here in the uk, rishi sunak will set out the government's approach to the crisis when he makes a statement to parliament this afternoon, as mps return to westminster after the party conferences. 0ur political correspondent, henry zeffman, joins us now. there is a lot for these mps to talk about when they get back to london today. it about when they get back to london toda . , , ~ , ., today. it is the first time mps have been together _ today. it is the first time mps have been together in _ today. it is the first time mps have been together in parliament - today. it is the first time mps have been together in parliament for . today. it is the first time mps have i been together in parliament for more than three weeks. lots of things have happened in that time, hs2, and suchlike that they have been dwarfed in significance by what is happening in significance by what is happening in gaza. i suspect it is a subject that will dominate mines in westminster and whitehall for weeks, if not months, to come. —— minds will stop i think rishi sunak will say a very similar thing to what he has been saying outside of the commons for the last ten days also. he will say the government utterly condemns the actions of hamas and the uk completely stands behind israelright to defend itself but there is also a desire, a strong argument from the uk that the humanitarian situation in gaza needs to be alleviated as much as possible. i think we should also remember there is a uk dimension to this, which i think we will be hearing from rishi sunak on. there are at least 17 british nationals missing, all confirmed —— is back at all confirmed dead. i suspect rishi sunak will be talking about that. the other thing we will see from rishi sunak today is a visit here in the uk to reassure the british jewish community because there has been a steep rise in anti—semitism after the attacks in israel ten days orso after the attacks in israel ten days or so ago. the other thing worth noting, just briefly, we will hear from rishi sunak in the house of commons today. there is complete political consensus with the labour party on this. i do not imagine sir keir starmer will disagree with anything rishi sunak says this afternoon. that is one thing worth bearing in mind as it continues to dominate political discussion for days and weeks to come.- dominate political discussion for days and weeks to come. thank you ve much days and weeks to come. thank you very much indeed _ days and weeks to come. thank you very much indeed for— days and weeks to come. thank you

from southern israel. we are hearing reports of a possible ceasefire which might allow the border crossing to reopen intermediate and some humanitarian aid to come and go. what is your understanding, please? 50 aid to come and go. what is your understanding, please? so many eyes here and around _ understanding, please? so many eyes here and around the _ understanding, please? so many eyes here and

and around the world are on thel here and around the world are on the rafah crossing this morning. it should have opened ten minutes ago, 9am local time here. the egyptians made it absolutely clear they would not open this crossing on gaza southern edge until they could guarantee the safety of their staff. in other words when there would be no risk of an israeli bombardment. these reports coming through from reuters that they have agreed to a temporary ceasefire to allow some of the many, many thousands of people massing close to the rafah crossing desperate to get out. we understand that includes about 1000 foreign nationals and for the united states they are very concerned, there are said to be several hundred palestinian americans. also there has been aid building up on the egyptian side of the border. egypt wants, everyone wants that aid to start moving in. again there has to be a safe corridor. the israelis want to check those goods first to make sure there are no weapons inside the lorries. this is a very, very key part of this developing war because the american seem to be making this a top priority while they stand by israel, they want to do everything possible to try to minimise the suffering of civilians, among the gazans and foreigners on the gaza strip and palestinians, that suffering is already enormous. the united nations saying already gazais the united nations saying already gaza is on the edge of an abyss. irate gaza is on the edge of an abyss. we should make really clear to people watching this morning that this is talk of a temporary ceasefire in southern gaza. in the north of gaza, there is no ceasefire, the bombardment continue overnight. the pressure continues form a macro from israel. —— from israel. timer;r pressure continues form a macro

they had never seen bombardment like this in gaza in their last 20 years of covering the wars and conflicts and tensions that come and go in this area. yesterday we also had a report that israel had agreed to allow water supplies to go into the south of gaza strip. there are reports that was under pressure again from the united states. gazans point out without electricity in the south, you cannot pump the water. there are so many pieces still missing in this huge effort to try to make an unlivable existence, at least something the gazans can hope to survive through.— something the gazans can hope to survive through. reporting from southern israel. no more of the day's news from sally. —— now more. members of the snp have backed humza yousaf�*s plan to use the next general election result to push for a second independence referendum. 0ur political correspondent, nick eardley, is at the party's conference in aberdeen for us this morning. what more can you tell us? morning to you. the idea that the snp has, if they win a majority of seats at the next election they will go to the uk government and say you need to give us the power to hold another referendum. it settles an internal debate about how to try to end the stalemate over another referendum. the question of whether it will work, i think, is a bit complicated. the uk government will keep saying no. polls suggest support for independence is still high but is not 50% consistently, which is what the snp wants. most importantly, the snp is in a tough place politically now. polls suggest they will lose a number of seats at a general election to labour and it becomes tricky to try to force an issue, if you are in retreat, if you are losing seats at an election. the plan is there, there is a strategy taken to the next general election. it is fair to say it is the toughest period they have had since the snp became a mass party after the first independence referendum in 2014. they will spend the next few days trying to get back on the front of that, talking about the cost of living and things like that. so far getting back on the front foot has proved difficult. thirty charities and non—profit organisations have written a joint letter to the prime minister, urging him not to abandon plans to remove the right of landlords in england to evict tenants for no reason. the legislation was promised four years ago, but there are fears its progress has stalled. the government said it would resume its progress through parliament "shortly. " the true picture of a&e waiting times in wales has been seriously under—reported for a decade, according to figures seen by the bbc. the royal college of emergency medicine says thousands of hours are missed from monthly figures and that senior a&e doctors have been raising the issue for months. the welsh government said it would ask health boards for assurances that the data was absolutely transparent. poland's opposition coalition — led by the former european council president donald tusk — has claimed victory in the country's general election. an exit poll suggests that the governing law and justice party has won the most seats but won't have enough to govern. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it is getting a little bit chilly. it is getting a little bit chilly. it has. things will change this week. after a dry, bright couple of days things will change. temperatures may rise but it would be windy and wet as well. 0ut there this morning, still a chill in the

new mp this week, in one of two by—elections taking place on the same day. it was triggered when the former conservative mp, nadine dorries, announced she was standing down after failing to get a peerage in borisjohnson's resignation honours list. it's a day that will be closely watched to see how the political parties are performing. last week we reported from tamworth, and now alex forsyth takes a look at what's at stake in mid—bedforshire. there is plenty going on at this busy toddler group in the bedfordshire town of shefford, and the political activity taking place around here hasn't escaped these parents and carers either. have you heard much about this by—election? have i? the stuff that keeps coming through the door — keep coming through the door. yeah, we have. for me personally, i think the issues are crime. too much building going on really, and not enough infrastructure being put in. cost of living. i think it has affected a lot of families. - with the prospect of a general election next year brewing away, how people here vote will be closely watched. and at this independent coffee shop, there's a lot to consider. there's been so much literature that's come through the door. it'sjust a bit... you're a bit bamboozled by it all, to be honest. gps have got to be a first because obviously a building, —— they're building notjust here. i know they're building everywhere, but we do need more gps. visibility, ithink it's important actually making a difference as well because i think there's always a lot of false promises. the reality is as soon as they're in office not what happens. so i think it's a real opportunity for someone in this area, whoever wins, to really lay down a marker and get the trust of the people. the towns and villages that make up the mid bedfordshire constituency have elected conservative mps for more than 90 years. so could that be about to change? at the last general election, the conservatives won here by more than 24,000 votes. this time, both labour and the liberal democrats are insisting they are the ones to beat the conservatives. so all three parties are throwing everything at this contest add in a number of other candidates who are standing — 13 in total — and it makes it entirely unpredictable. it will serve up valuable insight into the public mood and the power or not of the party's pitches. and the members of flitwick and ampthill tennis club are clear on what they want to hear. from my perspective, you know, i think we need to see somebody who's who's able to represent what people's local concerns are, but also have you know, a proper plan for addressing what, you know, what are some big structural issues that we have in the country at the moment. well, i think public services in the country don't seem to be working at the moment. the health service is really important, but it's not just the health service that's suffering. there's just doesn't seem to things that are happening. and i think people are pretty fed up. so it seems in mid bedfordshire, it's all to play for. alex forsyth, bbc news. you can find a list of all the candidates standing in mid bedfordshire on the bbc news website. some latest news on increasing tensions in the middle east. the israeli military announcing on their official social media accounts it is moving civilians from areas bordering lebanon. joint ministry of defence and idf, they say commit the national emergency management authority is announcing implementation on a plan to evacuate residents of northern israel, who live in the area up to two kilometres from the lebanese border to state funded guest houses. tensions in the area have been increasing over the last several days. there was exchange of fire and other issues in northern israel over the weekend. there has been talk about trying to get some residents out. it now looks like that will be the case. this morning, as we are on air, there are focuses on now northern israel and the border with lebanon and also in the south of gaza, bordering egypt, about whether a humanitarian corridor can be opened at the rafah crossing. a lot of anxiety in the international community about how this crisis might spread and at both ends of the country right now there are signs of that happening. we have correspondence waiting to speak to us here in the next few minutes. right now, time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london and welcome to our viewers in the east, who arejoining us due to planned technical upgrade work taking place in the norwich studios. luton airport says it is unlikely any vehicles will be saved following a large fire at one of its car parks last week. the blaze caused the building to collapse and flights were suspended on tuesday evening. up to 1,500 cars were inside and the airport said it has replied to almost 16,500 customer queries since the fire. one in four working parents in london are struggling to feed their families, according to a food charity. the felix project surveyed thousands of working parents in the capital. a quarter said they skipped meals or didn't buy food for themselves, so their children could eat. it comes amid high inflation rates and an increased cost of living. people who go to work every day, sometimes they have more than one job, are now using food banks. in fact, in the past year we've seen 170,000 people go to the food bank for the first time. it's people like you and me, people who have families, who work every day, having to turn to food supply resources and services. a number of people were left stranded for around 30 minutes on a roller—coaster more than 70 feet in the air, after it broke down in southend. it happened at adventure island where an almost identical incident on a ride called rage happened injuly. the theme parks owner said that a safety computer caused the amusement to stop and no—one was harmed. a vulnerable stretch of coastline in norfolk has been damaged over the weekend. a road collapsed and two sheds were washed away in hemsby. let's take a look at how the tube is running first thing this morning and for the very latest on what's happening on the roads and rail where you are, tune into your local bbc radio station for regular updates. now onto the weather with katerina. hello there, good morning to you. it's a chilly start to the day with some patchy frost out there this morning. but with a ridge of high pressure in charge over the next few days, it does look to stay quite settled, but this system will push its way in from the south on wednesday, so it will become increasingly breezy, with outbreaks of rain expected a little bit later on in the day. but this morning, it is chilly. any pockets of mist and fog will lift, with plenty of sunshine to follow. perhaps a bit more cloud through this afternoon. still some sunny spells, but you can just see just a few showers clipping onto the coast. but further inland, a lot of dry weather around with a gentle breeze. looking at highs today of around 11 to 12 degrees. now through this evening, we mayjust get one or two showers blowing further inland. there'll be plenty of cloud at first. but by the end of the night, those clear spells will break through and those winds will pick up along the coast. it will turn dry for all areas. temperatures will fall away to around six to eight degrees. not as cold as the night we have just had. tuesday, a bit on the breezy side, but decent sunny spells. turning brazier on wednesday with outbreaks of rain expected later in the day. that's it for now. there's much more on all of today's stories on our website and the bbc news app. stories on our website i'll be back in half an hour. stories on our website but now back tojon and sally. stories on our website hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. just after half past seven on a busy monday morning. let's return to our main story now, and the situation in the middle east. there have been reports in the last hour that the us, israel and egypt have agreed to a ceasefire to co—incide with the opening of the rafah border crossing in southern gaza. we are also hearing that in the north there are reports coming in from the israeli military that israel has activated an evacuation plan for residents of 28 villages who live within a mile of the border with lebanon. so, that is at the of the country. —— the other end of the country. just over a week ago hamas, designated as a terrorist organisation by many western governments including the uk, killed 1400 people in israel and took more than 120 hostages. the palestinian health authority says nearly 2,700 people have been killed in gaza since israel launched retaliatory air strikes and a ground offensive is also expected. but what are the challenges israel's forces will face? 0ur defence correspondent, jonathan beale, has this assessment. this is who israel's now at war with. hamas, who last week crossed the border, solely focused on taking life, murdering women and children. for most, it was, in effect, a suicide mission. uh, left side of my head was hit with shrapnel from an rpg or a grenade. hard to say exactly what. got shot in my finger on my left hand, and a bullet got wedged in the left side of my neck. yoav, who grew up in london, was among the first israeli military casualties of this war. he won't be the last. we've been asked to hide his identity, he says. israel's fighting an enemy unlike any conventional army. they have only one interest, which is to to killjews. there was no preservation of their ability to go home afterwards. they were going to die doing whatever they wanted to do. and that meant killing as many people along the way. they die doing it. this is just some of their arsenal. israel displaying to journalists weapons they've seized. they say this is just 20% of the weapons hamas brought into israel, and it isjust a fraction of what israeli forces will face when they go into gaza. israel says many of these are built in factories inside gaza itself. are you worried about israeli forces going in and if they've got factories producing this? i'm not worried. the idf can deal with everything that stays in that room and more. but this is only a fraction of what they have. yeah. the tightly packed streets of gaza is where israel could soon be fighting, which hamas knows best. it could be littered with booby traps and roadside bombs and their network of hidden underground tunnels. israel is preparing for a major offensive. but invasions are often easier to plan than to execute. and getting out harder than going in. jonathan beale, bbc news, southern israel. we're joined now by the armed forces ministerjames heappey. good morning. thank you for coming to talk to us. can we just start with reports coming in about a ceasefire in southern gaza? reuters reporting that the us, israel and egypt have agreed a ceasefire. what more can you tell us on that? well. more can you tell us on that? well, those reports _ more can you tell us on that? well, those reports have _ more can you tell

last hour or so whilst i have been doing interviews with other channels. as far as i can gather, that is certainly the intent of egypt, the united states and israel, and in that sense it is something to be welcomed. it will be an opportunity to get people out of gaza, particularly british nationals. but i would sound a note of caution that hamas gets a vote and hamas is extraordinarily unreliable. and therefore, whilst i hope that what has been agreed will happen, i wouldn't want to say that i am 100% confident that it will. hamas have said they have had no information about any truce being agreed? information about any truce being aareed? ~ ., ., ~ ., , information about any truce being aareed? ~ ., , ., agreed? well, look, i mean, they are agreed? well, look, i mean, they are a

that note of caution. you have got a number of state actors in the region who are doing their absolute best to support the civilian population of gaza, whilst accepting israel pass right to self—defence and its right to destroy hamas after what they did last saturday. but hamas is a law unto itself. we know that from the barbarism of what happened last saturday and we know that from the way that they use palestinian civilians in gaza as human shields and of the way they hide ammunitions beneath civic buildings. this and of the way they hide ammunitions beneath civic buildings.—

week. the prime minister has spoken to the president, the foreign secretary has spoken to the prime minister. and we are working closely with the egyptians to both support the movement of humanitarian aid into gaza, as well as making the arrangements for supporting british nationals if they are able to get out of gaza through the rafah crossing. fist out of gaza through the rafah crossina. �* ,., ,

eastern mediterranean. we havejets that be operating in the eastern mediterranean. we have jets that are permanently based in cyprus but can similarly be used as part of the effort alongside a battalion that is at high readiness in cyprus. there is also a number of raf surveillance planes now operating in the region. the secretary of state last week ordered the acceleration of the literal response group, a naval royal marines capability to move into the med sooner than expected. that is not directly a part of what is happening between israel and hamas in the gaza strip. the reason the us, the uk and so many others are putting military assets into the eastern mediterranean is to warn off iran and lebanese hezbollah from getting involved in the conflict, because as you rightly note

gathering, desperate to get out. just from a humanitarian, from an age perspective, the situation facing so many hundreds of thousands of people is absolutely desperate. how worried are you that it is

leads me to reflect two _ them? well, i'm very worried. that leads me to reflect two things. i leads me to reflect two things. firstly, that you have seen from the things that the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has been saying, president bagon, james cleverly yesterday to the uk media, and you have heard from the prime minister too, that democracies hold themselves to a higher standard. —— president biden. israel is a democracy. we require it from them. that is why you have seen israel saying to the civilian population of gaza that they will be safe if they move south of the wadi. i appreciate thatis move south of the wadi. i appreciate that is an enormous ask in the time available. but they are trying to balance their responsibilities to the civilian population, against the reality that the longer hamas has two melt away into the population, to dismantle its war fighting infrastructure, to move its munitions, the more that israel will be striking at shadows once the offensive begins. that makes this an incredibly complex and difficult military operation for israel to prosecute. but there is a clear, clear difference between what we have seen over the last eight days. an attack without warning onto an innocent civilian population last saturday, versus israel doing everything it reasonably can to tell people where they need to move to in order to get out of harm's way. the other comparison is that whilst israel is doing that, hamas is telling them not to move in order to maintain the human shield that sadly is a part of a match's way of operating. is a part of a match's way of operating-— is a part of a match's way of oeratinu. ~ .,, operating. when we saw those terrible events _ operating. when we saw those terrible events in _ operating. when we saw those terrible events in israel- operating. when we saw those terrible events in israel last i terrible events in israel last weekend, the uk government came out very strongly in support of israel, as did the us and other countries around the world. but with the language of the past few days has maybe become a little more cautious, urging that restraint, but sticking within the rules of international law. is there a case for saying that you were too strong, too soon in supporting israel, that may be a little caution earlier might have helped? little caution earlier might

put that in perspective. —— just put that in perspective. it was devastating, unprovoked, it was barbaric. people who have had the misfortune of seeing the videos on social media what happened last saturday, will be scarred by them. i am not sure i have ever seen anything as bad, and yet i am a veteran of two war zones. israel is rightly furious. israel is rightly seeking the destruction of hamas. the international community could not react in any other way given how barbaric those scenes were, than to give israel ourfull and unequivocal support. all that has happened in the language that the prime minister, the foreign secretary, the president of the united states and the secretary of state, antony blinken, have been using, isjust reminding that fundamentally israel is a democracy thatis fundamentally israel is a democracy that is respected and admired around the world, democracies hold themselves to a higher standard. that is why we are seeing israel gave the direction to the palestinian public in gaza to move south, to be out of harm's way. that is them seeking to minimise the loss of human life as they prosecute of the mission that is forthcoming in gaza. and more than that, israel has incredible intelligence services and has the ability to act with huge precision. it's important they also act with necessary restraint, so that they do a precise and targeted mission against hamas, and do all that they can as i am confident that they will, to minimise the loss of innocent human life. lii< they will, to minimise the loss of innocent human

united states, israeland egypt. reuters suggesting the united states, israel and egypt have agreed a ceasefire to coincide with the opening of the crossing. hamas has said it has no information about any truce being agreed, as yet. families waiting to find out if they will be able to leave, if aid will be able to get in. butjust in the last couple of minutes there is an update to that. the office of the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has said there is currently no truce and he —— humanitarian aid in gaza forgetting foreigners out. so, there is real confusion about this report of a ceasefire this morning. even the israeli prime minister saying that as things stand at the moment no ceasefire has been great. humanitarian aid not going in. for those families, for those kids, waiting, the wait goes on for information. and clarity about what the new day will bring. this is a situation that is changing all the time. as soon as we get a more definitive picture of what is happening we will bring it straight to you. just after quarter to eight matt has the weather. good morning. another chilly start. the coldest commute for many so far this season. this is the view in

guys will be quite as blue. sunny skies for many. figure cloud towards the west. across parts of southern scotland, eastern northern ireland, some showers. some throughout the day in shetland. later on we could see the odd shower creeping towards parts of east anglia. the emphasis for most of you will be a dry monday with light winds. in between the areas of cloud it will feel all right. but overall a chilly day for the stage in october. 11 to 13 degrees. temperatures will drop away quite quickly again tonight in the northern half of the country where skies are clearest, the winds

details here on breakfast. it's monday, the 16th october, our main story. there have been conflicting reports over the last hour that .a ceasefire could come into force in southern gaza. egyptian security forces had told reuters that the rafah crossing, which connects gaza and egypt, could be reopened for people fleeing the conflict under the agreement — but the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has now denied that there is any such agreement in place. you can see that crossing on your screen. it comes after gaza was bombarded yet again overnight by israeli forces — and this morning the israel defense forces confirmed that communities on the country's border with lebanon are being evacuated. israel is continuing to prepare for a ground invasion against gaza. yolande knell has the latest. along the border, israel is ready for attack, after more than 1,400 people were killed by hamas. it says it will soon enter the gaza strip to target every one of its sites, commanders and fighters. but the offensive is likely to result in the deaths of many palestinians. gaza was pounded again overnight and many of the more than one million people, who were warned by israel to leave the north of the territory have already fled south. but, basic resources in khan yunis, a town where many have headed, are at breaking point. translation: we were in gaza and we moved i here and we are suffering. there is no fuel, no electricity, no water or anything. we are waiting for our turn forfuel. the united nations is raising alarm about the dire situation. its humanitarian office warns that hospitals now have less than one day of fuel left to run generators. antonio guterres, the un secretary general, has appealed to israel to allow rapid and unimpeded aid into the territory. he's also called on hamas to release israeli hostages and un officials are urging both sides to act immediately. israel is connecting humanitarian assistance into gaza with the release of the hostages. again, neither should be conditional. and what we're seeing right now, the direction that israel is going to, is going in, they have said they want to destroy hamas, but their current trajectory is going to destroy gaza. meanwhile, a second american aircraft carrier is heading to the middle east, as diplomatic efforts to contain the conflict continue. us secretary of state antony blinken is back injerusalem today for further talks. and president biden said he believed israel would try to limit civilian casualties. they have to go after hamas. hamas is a bunch of cowards. they're hiding behind the civilians. they put their headquarters where civilians are — in buildings and the like. but to the extent that they can separate out and avoid... i'm confident the israelis are going to do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians. israel's response to hamas's brutal massacres is yet to fully play out. but, as troops prepare for a ground invasion of gaza, the consequences will be far—reaching. this region and the wider world are watching. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. our chief international correspondent lyse doucetjoins us now from southern israel. we are hearing conflicting reports about the possibility of a ceasefire. what can you tell us? imagine, if you are one of the thousands of gazans massed near the rafah crossing. you haven't eaten, slept or washed properly for days. you hear this report this morning there is a temporary ceasefire, this vital rafah crossing, the only passage with the outside world, will be open and then you hear it is not. a statement from the israeli prime minister's office is categorical. there is no temporary ceasefire agreed yet to allow people to leave and to allow aid to getting but we do understand from bbc sources in the egyptian capital, cairo, an agreement has been reached in principle between the united states, israel and egypt. but some difficult issues still had to be sorted. for egypt, it wants guarantees it own staff operating that crossing will be safe, that there is no risk of some errant missile slamming into the crossing. the israelis are concerned those lorries piling up on the egyptian side of the border, they have to be inspected. israel does not want them to carrying any weapons in the midst of the medical aid and the food, the supplies that are so desperately needed by gazans. there was a report this could all be sorted by tuesday but i think we have learned in this conflict indeed in every walk that clocks can be knocked off time by the pace of events and of course israel is... its focus, just looking at the sky, its focus is on the military preparations. iii its focus is on the military preparations.— its focus is on the military preparations. if you are ok to

ever since that terrible saturday when massacres were committed by hamas forces. israel soon imposed a complete siege on the gaza strip, chatting up the water, the electricity, the fuel. it then ordered more than i electricity, the fuel. it then ordered more thani million gazans to leave immediately, to basically get up and go at a time when they were sheltering in basements. families all crashed together. whole neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. and of course nonstop bombardment. these are nightmare conditions. the who has described this evacuation order, and it is really blunt language, i have never heard such blunt language coming from the un agency before saying people have to evacuate quickly, including hospitals. it is nothing less than a death sentence. conditions are terrible. even though israel said to go to the south, the sound will be easier for you, go to the south, the sound will be easierfor you, you will go to the south, the sound will be easier for you, you will not be under attack. we do have confirmed reports that some people did get in the line of fire. we have been hearing from our reporter, who is also there with his family, that people are at breaking point and the situation is at breaking point. thank you very much indeed. our correspondent anna fosterjoins us now from the north of israel, close to the country's border with lebanon. what do you understand has been happening in the last hour or so? well, what we have had is an evacuation order for nearly 30 towns and villages right along the border between israel and lebanon this is significant. we are talking about tens of thousands of people living within two kilometres of the border wall on the israeli side. they are now being told the government will evacuate. the israeli defence minister has agreed to this order. people are being told they will be taken from those towns and villages and be put in government—sponsored guesthouses and hotels. what is notable as i have been moving around many of those communities over the last few days now and a lot of people have chosen to move already. they didn't wait for this official order. a lot of people with families, a lot of people with children. several days ago when the firing started across the border, they chose to pack up, take their thing is notable as i have been moving around many of those communities over the

reporting for us on the border between israel and lebanon. that is the international situation. what about reaction here at home? sally's got more on that and the rest of the day's news. here in the uk, rishi sunak will set out the government's approach to the crisis when he makes a statement to parliament this afternoon, as mp5 return to westminster after the party conferences. our political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. henry, what are we expecting from rishi sunak? well, a lot has happened since mps were last here in westminster more than three weeks ago. ordinarily, you might expect rishi sunak to be facing questions on hs2 or on prisons. what is consuming the government is a much greater geopolitically significant event of what is happening in the middle east. rishi sunak this afternoon will address mps about the government's response to what is happening in israel and gaza. it is worth noting by the way there is a complete political consensus between the conservative front bench and the labour front bench. the the conservative front bench and the labourfront bench. the labour leadership. over how the government should respond to this. we will hear from rishi sunak. what labour agrees with is that the government completely condemns what hamas did, the government completely supports israel's right to defend itself by degrading the capabilities of hamas and that the government to permit nevertheless, has serious concerns about the humanitarian situation in gaza, which we havejust about the humanitarian situation in gaza, which we have just been hearing about. it is worth noting of course there is also a uk dimension to this, and that is in a couple of different ways. one is at least 17 brits are either dead or missing as a result of what hamas did. about ten or so i thought to be being held hostage in gaza at the moment although hostage in gaza at the moment althouthames cleverly, the foreign secretary, has avoided putting a specific number on it. i suspect rishi sunak will talk a little bit about how the government is trying to help israel because my efforts to get the hostages back, particularly in the context of british dual nationals. the other domestic element to this is we will see from rishi sunak, more attempts to reassure the britishjewish community because there has been a steep rise in anti—semitism in recent days. the government has already pledged £3 million of extra support for charities combating anti—semitism in the uk. we suspect rishi sunak to make a visit here in the uk aimed at reassuring british jews. generally, both the domestic and international dimensions of this is something that will consume the energies of government for days, weeks and perhaps months to come. thank you. more foreign prisoners would be transferred to jails in their home countries, under proposals to be outlined today by the justice secretary, alex chalk. he's due to set out plans in the commons for reducing the number of people in prison in england and wales. last week, it emerged that prisons were approaching full capacity, with the number of inmates at an all—time high. well, by the end of this month, certainly within the closed estate, with the majority prisons, we will be full. there will be no more space left. simple as that. it is horrendous. of the prisoners are living in squalor because of lack of investment over the years from this government. it heaps pressure on the system. we are already overcrowded and the majority of our prisons. most prisons are at least 50% to 60% overcrowded. there are probably 10,000 foreign national prisoners in the prisons at the moment. they have not done it over the last 13 years. why is it so different now? keith brown will _ why is it so different now? keith brown will tell _ why is it so different now? keith brown will tell the _ why is it so different now? keith brown will tell the snp - why is it so different now? keith brown will tell the snp party conference that the next general election will be a straight choice between control by westminster and independence. the new —— the conference opened yesterday with delegates backing the party's backing the party's new independence strategy. that would see the scottish government demanding that westminster gives it the powers to hold a new referendum, if the snp wins a majority of the seats in scotland at the next general election. thirty charities and non—profit organisations have written a joint letter to the prime minister, urging him not to abandon plans to remove the right of landlords in england to evict tenants for no reason. the legislation was promised four years ago, but there are fears its progress has stalled. the government said it would resume its progress through parliament "shortly". you might have noticed it is getting a tiny bit colder. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it has been a chilly weekend that things will change this week. temperatures will be on the rise. after a dry and raise me brightstar it will turn windier and wetter as we go into the second half of the week. one of the cellist commutes we have had since last spring temperatures in many areas close to or a little bit below freezing. modus conditions in the south and south—west. mulberry is animal cloud. more cloud in parts of southern scotland and eastern northern ireland with one or two showers. one or two showers could creep in to the east anglia and the shetlands. more cloud and the weekend. hazy sunshine. temperatures on a par with what we saw earlier, 11 to 14 on a par with what we saw earlier, 11 to iii degrees. tonight, the ii to iii degrees. tonight, the latest of the winds and the clearest skies will be in the north. here is where temperatures will drop the furthest. furthersouth where temperatures will drop the furthest. further south is not as cold but more breeze and in the south west a lot more cloud. through the day that cloud will spread outbreaks of rain, especially in cornwall, parts of devon and pembrokeshire later in the day. away from that hazy sunshine in parts of england and northern ireland. the winds are noticed here. the breeze will pick up for all of us as we go through the rest of the week. the breeze will temper things and there will be rain at times for all of us. back to you both. thank you. look at that dark sky! — back to you both. thank you. look at that dark sky! plunging _ back to you both. thank you. look at j that dark sky! plunging temperatures over the last couple of days. that will impact on when we think about switching on the heating. that is something for a lot of households that will be a real worry this winter. because it is expensive. then it is here to explain more. it is a conversation many households will have had this weekend. temperatures have dropped and do you turn up the thermostat? yes, in the past few days we've heard from the watchdog ofgem about the ballooning amount of energy debt many people are in. it says over 2 million households have fallen behind with their energy bills over the summer — between them, owing £2.6 billion in total. and scope, the disability equality charity, says the debt problem is even worse for people with disabilities. people ringing them for advice and support over their gas and electricity bills say they have, on average, almost £1,800 of energy debt — more than double the average amount in september last year. this is for people with disabilities. the government says energy bills are falling and, from today, more than three million households will get told they qualify for the warm home discount. it's a one—off payment of £150. eligible, low—income customers in england and wales get it automatically — people in scotland may need to apply. there's extra money available for people with disabilities and those on means—tested benefits. but, scope told us not all people with disabilities receive the warm home discount — because the main disabilities benefits they receive no longer automatically qualify them for this scheme. the bbc�*s cost—of—living correspondent colletta smith has been finding out more. they've just been delivered, so i have to restock the fridge. susan relies on electricity — everything from her medication to her wheelchair needs power. it has to be kept fully charged. we plug that in. living on disability payments, she can't cut down on energy. i owe £300 on my gas bill and i owe £145 on my electric. where am i meant to get the money to pay that? i'm scared to use anything. it's a living hell — an absolute living hell. the mental anguish that you go through is... ..very detrimental, very detrimental to your physical being, and if you've got physical health issues. my health has declined a lot in the last year. and you felt more alone? mm. these frontline advisers say energy arrears have spiralled for those with disabilities in the last 12 months. they got into debt last year and it'sjust been building as the year has gone on. a lot of the families that we are talking to, it doesn't matter what season it is, they still need the same amount of energy. there's something every dayjust from speaking to people, who are using candles because they don't want to put the lights on. and, you know, speaking to people who are considering stealing food, so they can afford to top the meter up. does it feel like there's much you can offer people who are ringing for help? there's definitely not as much support this year. there is always that possibility that potentially we can identify some income that they're not receiving. the government promised a consultation about having a cheaper social tariff for those in need, but that's not happened. the government's broken its promise in the long term. a social energy tariff is what's needed to support disabled people. in the short term this winter, there needs to be more financial support. the government says it spent £40 billion helping households last winter and is continuing to help the most vulnerable. but it doesn't feel that way to susan. it's a bit like being on a life support machine and you're just pulling the plug on it. how can we live like this? colletta smith, bbc news in east london. we're joined now by adam scorer, chief executive of national energy action. it is an energy poverty charity. very good too happy with us. some really heart—wrenching stories from people. are those exceptions or is it typical of the kinds of situations you are hearing about? it situations you are hearing about? tit is typical of millions of people. it is typical of millions of people. it is true to say energy prices have come down but energy bills have not because the government energy support scheme has gone away and people are in exactly the same situation as last winter, price is £800 higher than pre—energy crisis levels. the debt is up 70% since the energy crisis started. the situation is the same, if not worse for many of the most vulnerable households. there is very little support to take money off people's bills. we have the warm home discount scheme that has gone up £10 over the ten year period. the government has to face the fact that this winter is every bit as bad as last winter and it needs immediate financial support for the most vulnerable and we need some enduring solutions. the government _ some enduring solutions. the government did _ some enduring solutions. the government did highlight the warm home discount and said there are various other payments that people on the lowest incomes may be eligible for. in some cases, totalling £900 over the course of the year. when you have a situation where people with disabilities on average have an energy debt of almost £1800 and that is before we even get into the end of autumn and into the winter, how does it happen? how can that much energy debt to be built up in the period of the year when energy uses lower? this built up in the period of the year when energy uses lower?- built up in the period of the year when energy uses lower? this is the minimum- -- — when energy uses lower? this is the minimum... the _ when energy uses lower? this is the minimum... the remarkable - when energy uses lower? this is the minimum... the remarkable thing i minimum... the remarkable thing about this summer, levels of disconnection have been a remarkable levels. people with disabilities who usually have to be at home for longer, they may have conditions made worse by the cold or medical equipment that needs to be charged. there are lots of circumstances saying they are much morejeopardy of cold homes and higher energy costs. the government deciding non—means tested disability benefits are no longer an eligible criteria for the warm home discount was wrong in principle and a mad decision in the middle of the energy price crisis. we need to make sure people get all the support they need, that is true that there support available at the moment is wholly inadequate. we need a social tariff and a way to help people out of debt at pace, regulations from the simple and energy market to be built around the most vulnerable there is any greater jeopardy. we are not having at the moment. the winter is coming and it will be disastrous. i5 moment. the winter is coming and

that people on the lowest incomes and people in jeopardy get the cheapest rates on the market. we are hoping with fingers crossed this winter will be mild and they will get through it. that is not going to be the case. the scale of the issue is so big that it the scale of the issue is so big thatitis the scale of the issue is so big that it is only a government that needs to give targeted

replied to almost 16,000 customer queries since the fire. one in four working parents in london are struggling to feed their families, according to a food charity. the felix project surveyed thousands of working parents in the capital. a quarter said they skipped meals or didn't buy food for themselves so their children could eat. it comes amid high inflation rates and an increased cost of living. people who go to work every day, sometimes they have more than one job, are now using food banks. in fact, in the past year we've seen 170,000 people go to the food bank for the first time. it's people like you and me, people who have families, who work every day, having to turn to food supply resources and services. a number of people were left stranded for around 30 minutes on a rollercoaster more than 70 feet in the air, after it broke down in southend. it happened at adventure island where an almost identical incident on a ride called rage happened injuly. the theme parks

good morning to you. it's a chilly start to the day with some patchy frost out there this morning. but with a ridge of high pressure in charge over the next few days, it does look to stay quite settled, but this system will push its way in from the south on wednesday, so it will become increasingly breezy, with outbreaks of rain expected a little bit later on in the day. but this morning, it is chilly. any pockets of mist and fog will lift, with plenty of sunshine to follow. perhaps a bit more cloud this afternoon. still some sunny spells, but you can just see just a few showers clipping onto the coast. but further inland, a lot of dry weather around with a gentle breeze. looking at highs today of around 11 to 12 degrees. now through this evening, we mayjust get one or two showers blowing further inland. there'll be plenty of cloud at first. but by the end of the night, those clear spells will break through and those winds will pick up along the coast. it will turn dry for all areas. temperatures will fall away to around six to eight degrees. not as cold as the night we have just had. tuesday, a bit on the breezy side, but decent sunny spells. turning breezier on wednesday with outbreaks of rain expected later in the day. that's it for now. there's much more on all of today's stories on our website and the bbc news app. i'll be back in half an hour, but for now let's cross back tojon and sally. but for now let's cross hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. just after half past eight. let's return to our main story now, and the situation in the middle east. there are intense negotiations going on this morning to secure a temporary ceasefire in southern gaza to open egypt's rafah crossing. in the last few minutes, bbc sources in cairo have suggested there is an agreement in principle. you can see the crossing down on the bottom on the left. this is the live shot from the crossing in gaza now. we know the crossing is not open yet. families have been arriving there in their thousands. many of them trying to get out of gaza into egypt. some of them waiting, hoping that aid will arrive from the other side. there was some speculation about an hour ago that a ceasefire was under way. that the crossing could open. but at the moment it seems that has not happened yet. there has been no confirmation from hamas, the group designated as a terrorist organisation by many western governments, including the uk. on the egyptian side of the crossing of various humanitarian aid waiting to go in. israel is expected to begin a ground invasion in response to hamas's attacks last week. that killed 11100 people. 120 people were taken hostage. 2670 palestinians have been killed, according to the gas and health authority, and more than 9000 wounded. in response, israeli troops continue to gather near gazza ahead of that ground offensive. —— gaza. the israeli military has said it conducted strikes overnight in neighbouring lebanon in retaliation to attacks by another group, hezbollah, towards israeli territory. the reports of any casualties, but that violence along the northern border of israel raising fears of escalation, a widening of this conflict. us secretary of state antony blinken is expected to hold further talks with israeli officials today after a weekend of meetings with arab leaders. that is the situation as it appears to us here this morning. we arejoined now by oxfam's bushra khalid, who's based in the city of ramallah in the west bank. morning to you. i know the situation is changing rapidly in lots of areas. but what are you hearing from your team in gaza right now? good mornin: your team in gaza right now? good morning and _ your team in gaza right now? good morning and thank— your team in gaza right now? good morning and thank you _ your team in gaza right now? good morning and thank you for - your team in gaza right now? (emf. morning and thank you for having me. so, all of our staff are now have been accounted for. i think one big issue again, and i think we have been talking about this for the past week, is that there is no safe place to go in gaza. a lot of people have know to relocate to. khan younis is already home to half a million people. it has absorbed another half million people. so you can imagine the strain on food, and water, and any electricity that is left. some of our colleagues have returned back to gaza city because they have kept relocating because of the apartment —— because the bombardment was indiscriminate and constant. they don't see a reason why they should go to the south when they are bombing around the border. the hospitals in the north were asked to evacuate on friday. they are overflowing. they are on the brink of collapse. although there are 2600 fatalities killed by israeli air strikes, they have stopped counting here. bodies are being kept in refrigerated ice cream trucks because there is no way to store them or to bury them. shelters remain crowded. the living conditions in shelters is, i mean, really harrowing. there is a big sanitation issue because of the lack of water. i mean, it is a complete catastrophe. 2.2 million people, civilians, in an open—air prison with really nowhere to go and very little food, very little water, and very little electricity.— very little electricity. while we are talking _ very little electricity. while we are talking to _ very little electricity. while we are talking to you _ very little electricity. while we are talking to you we - very little electricity. while we are talking to you we are - very little electricity. while we l are talking to you we are seeing live images from the rafah crossing right now. we know that a lot of aid is actually stuck there, in egypt, in fact. is oxfam hearing details of when, if, that border might be open for the eight to make its way through? for the eight to make its way throuuh? , ., for the eight to make its way throuuh? ,., i. for the eight to make its way throuuh? i. , ., through? the report you shared before my _ through? the report you shared before my intervention - through? the report you shared before my intervention is - through? the report you shared before my intervention is the i through? the report you shared i before my intervention is the same we had. we actually received an alert from the israeli government around 9:30am, it is 10:30am here now, so an hour ago, that there is now, so an hour ago, that there is no humanitarian ceasefire, and that such claims are not true. hamas has apparently said the same thing. there are some reports, including the new york times yesterday, that said that they will open aid for aid and to let the international staff out. but it is completely unclear. we thought this was going to happen at 9am this morning from family. this is what people in gaza were saying at 9am. it is now half past ten. it is completely unclear. there is a lot of misinformation, confusing messages. we are monitoring and waiting for official sources to give us that information. obviously incredibly difficult circumstances to be working on. what have you and your team been able to do in the past few days? i have you and your team been able to do in the past few days?— do in the past few days? i mean, very little- _ do in the past few days? i mean, very little. our _ do in the past few days? i mean, very little. our main _ do in the past few days? i mean, very little. our main priority - do in the past few days? i mean, very little. our main priority is i do in the past few days? i mean, very little. our main priority is to keep all of our staff accounted for and ensure that we know where they are staying. we have distributed 30,000 hygiene kits to affected communities because we had that stock available. but beyond that we have not been able, of course, to get anything into gaza because of the border is being completely closed down by israel both on the egyptian sight and the israeli side. thank you very much indeed for talking to us. we will try to get the latest from lyse doucet, or chief international correspondent, in the next half an hour or so from israel. jane this yearfor hour or so from israel. jane this year for the sport. hour or so from israel. jane this yearfor the sport. an incredible weekend at the rugby world cup. a victory for england. a dramatic game late last night. i know. it was so close with england. they were pushed all the way by a very hungry fijian team. they are into the semifinals. but as owen farrell, the captain, said, they found a way to win. they will have to do more than that against their next opponents, south africa. very tough. that was a cracker of a game. after the disappointment of wales and ireland both being knocked out, there will be one home nation in the semi finals of the rugby world cup — but only just. england are into the final four after beating fiji. at half time, they had looked to be in complete control. two tries scored — this the second from joe marchant — giving them a 21—10 lead. but fiji responded and drew the match level at 24—all with ten minutes to go. a late drop goal and penalty from captain owen farrell saved england from any embarrasment, as they won 30—24. just really happy that, as i said in the week, the feeling at the end of that game, with the amount of travelling england fans in the stadium, the noise that they made, that's why we do it. it's just absolutely unbelievable, and i think the travelling support�*s been amazing. it's just massively exciting i think, for this group. to be where we were six months ago, to come to here is brilliant for us. we're just going to give it all that we've got next week, and see where it takes us. and england will now play defending champions south africa in paris next saturday. they knocked out the hosts france in a thrilling match, winning byjust one point, 29—28. handre pollard's penalty proving the key moment. france's18—match unbeaten run at home is over. now, it's official — scotland football fans can book their flights and hotels for germany next summer, after they became the first home nation to secure qualification for next year's european championships. and they did it without kicking a ball. norway had to beat spain to deny scotland progressing, and they couldn't do it, losing 1—0 in oslo. victory for spain also sees them qualify and puts them top of the group with two matches left to play. well, many scotland fans were watching nervously and willing spain to win, this was the reaction to that goal in a bar in lille where many scots have gathered ahead of a friendly against france tomorrow evening. it's the first time scotland have qualified automatically for a major tournament for 25 years. wales reignited their hopes ofjoining scotland at next summer's tournament with an impressive win against croatia in cardiff. it finished 2—1. harry wilson got both of wales' goals — this was his second. croatia pulled one back, but rob page's side held on for a crucial win. wales now leapfrog their opponents to move second in group d, six points behind turkey — with 2 games to go. immensely proud, first and foremost. i can't speak highly enough of them as a group. the camp's been outstanding from, again, day one up to now. that is all aspects, from how we had to defend against an excellent team. from a defensive point of view i thought they were outstanding. they stuck to the game plan. we've had the biggest shock of the cricket world cup so far — and it came at england's expense as they were beaten by afghanistan for the very first time. batting first, afghanistan made a competitive total, bowled out for 284, with rahmanullah gurbaz top scoring with 80. england would have felt confident chasing it down, but they lost wickets at regular intervals — mark wood the last of them — as they were bowled out themselves for 215, losing by 69 runs. that means two defeats from three for england and their title defence looks in real jeopardy. everyone will be disappointed in the dressing room and let that sink in. but there's a lot of guys who have been through a lot in their career in there as well. guys who have come back from tough situations and shown a lot of character and resilience, as i mentioned. and it's a very tight—knit group, so we will get around each other and pick each other up and dust ourselves down and go again. six games left for england in the group stages. if they want to get to the semifinals, they are going to have to win five of them. quite a big ask. my word, that's a challenge. thank you. it is quarter to nine. and this is a lovely story. a hundred years ago today, walt disney and his brother founded what would become one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. the bbc has now been given exclusive access to some old home video footage, filmed not in hollywood, but in the village of norton disney in lincolnshire, when walt was researching his family tree. and that visit changed the future of disney films forever, as our entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been finding out. a disney fairytale set in lincolnshire. this home movie of walt disney visiting the village of norton disney in 19119, belongs to the walt disney family museum in san francisco, and has rarely been seen. the man who made mickey mouse was in the uk supervising the filming of treasure island, when he took a holiday with his wife lillian and their two daughters, and went hunting for ancestors in norton disney. they were particularly fascinated by what they found in st peter's church. a very, very old little church. 11th century? incredible, yes. that's where i met disney historian sebastien durand. this is the oldest place in england where you can find trace of disney, of walt disney's history and his family tree, and even its coat of arms. here you have a beautiful example. you can see the three lions of normandy. the crest is particularly significant because, in 1965, walt disney wanted to commemorate the tenth anniversary of disneyland. a coat of arms for sleeping beauty's castle was suggested. walt was asked if there was a disney one. and he said, "well, yes, i remember that crest. "i saw it in norton disney in 19119 when i was in england." so they took photographs of it and they reproduced it on the castle at disneyland in california. since then, it is on every disney castle in all disney parks. since 2006, that crest has been seen at the start of every single disney film. at the top of the castle you can see that flag, and that flag comes from norton disney here in lincolnshire. it's kind of incredible to think that this very small lincolnshire village is honoured in every disney film. yes, absolutely. there is one person in norton disney who still remembers the disney visit. and appropriately, they live on disney court. hilda, now 94, was 20 when her brotherjim arrived in the pub with walt disney. i thought, who's that he's bringing in, you know? and then i thought, oh, it's not a bad looking man. so...! anyway, they all came in with his daughters and they was chatty, and they played a game of darts, because we was already playing darts when walt came in, you see. it's quite a thing. the man who's won the most oscars in history coming to your village? yes, i know, yeah. 0h! he's perhaps looking at us now. the pupils at nearby bassingham primary have been learning about disney's local links. happy birthday, disney! and had been celebrating disney's 100th anniversary with art... i'm doing the mickey mouse picture. good. i am, too. me, too. there's a lot of mickey's here. ..and a disney show and tell. and who have you brought in? hanna from frozen. what is it you love about hanna? that she's really kind to her sister. she always looks out for her. # the cold never bothered me anyway.# do you have a sister? no. maybe that's why you like it. maybe you'd like a sister in real life. my mum refuses to have another baby. really? church bells ring back at the church, sebastien revealed one other remarkable disney link. there is a charter signed in 1386, that states that disneyland is the name of the estate of the disney family. no! so, the first occurrence of the name disneyland is not in california, at the park, or at disneyland paris, it's from that region here. they had an estate called disneyland in lincolnshire. in lincolnshire? in lincolnshire, absolutely. no way. yes! what happened to it? and there are plans to make more of lincolnshire's disney connection. what we're really after here is creating something positive from this legacy. what we want is a disney trail, to highlight the fact that the disneys also were in other villages locally, and they had disney tombs, there was a disney castle with turrets on, but it's a great place to have a disney story, as well as the myths around it. norton disney, the original disneyland for more than 600 years. colin paterson, bbc news, lincolnshire. so now we know. happiest place on earth. mice everywhere. what a wonderful story. and princesses and everything. i love that little girl, my mother refuses to have another baby! the pressure is on. coming up to ten to nine. we can stay with castles. maybe spooky castle. halloween is almost upon us. and our next guest will be right up your street if you're into the scary and the supernatural. from being visited by strange beings, to unexplained poltergeist attacks, the presenter danny robins has heard it all on his uncanny podcast. its proved such a hit it's now been turned into a tv series. let's take a look. do you believe in ghosts? do i believe in clanking chains and bed sheets? no. but i believe what i experienced. i was paralysed with fear. i really can't explain it. it takes over your whole body. people that say- they don't believe in ghosts, they only say that - because they have never seen one. and then gradually i i would see a shimmer of this woman. as time went on she became more and more defined. i you could see the| detail of her dress and her face and her here. are you actually seeing her? yeah, just like you now. she is 3d. she is not translucent, she is a person. - can you remember her face? yeah. yeah, ican. i'm a i'm a bit scared! danny joins us now weird things have started happening in the last few minutes. the autocue went down. you havejust in the last few minutes. the autocue went down. you have just told in the last few minutes. the autocue went down. you havejust told us something happened weird out there?

bring it on! uncanny continues on friday at 9pm on bbc two, and it's also available on the bbc iplayer. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8:59. live from london. this is bbc news. israel denies a ceasefire in south gaza — as thousands wait at the rafah border crossing. israeli troops continue to amass near gaza ahead of an expected ground offensive targeting hamas militants. the un chief says — the conflict risks tipping the middle east into "the abyss", urging both sides to pull back from the brink. president biden says an israeli occcupation of gaza would be a "big mistake" — but says he stands by israel's right to respond to hamas' attacks. in other news, projected results in poland's general election suggest the ruling law and justice party has lost its majority. hello, i'm samantha simmonds. crowds of people have gathered at the border between egypt and the gaza strip after us media said it was about to reopen. the decision would allow desperately—needed aid into the territory, and some foreigners, including us citizens, to leave. but the rafah crossing is still currently closed. hamas and israel have denied reports that they've agreed
