of those killed by hamas. he was killed defending his country, keeping as many and coming up on bbc news... the future of manchester united is in the spotlight, as british billionaire sirjim ratcliffe hopes to secure the first stage of an eventual buyout. good evening from jerusalem, as the flight of palestinians from northern gaza continues. israel is preparing for a major ground offensive into the territory, while maintaining a heavy bombing campaign of targets, in the hunt for members of hamas. the group has been designated as a terror organisation by many western governments, including the uk. the united nations says israel's total siege of gaza, cutting off fuel, food and electricity supplies, is causing a deepening humanitarian crisis, with hospitals close to complete collapse, threatening thousands of lives. meanwhile, thousands of those palestinians who have left their homes, hoping to cross into egypt, have been left bitterly disappointed, with the crossing still closed. the us says it's working hard to get egypt to allow access. in the uk, rishi sunak has told the commons that "all the tools of british diplomacy" will be used and more humanitarian aid will be provided to the palestinian people. tonight, we'll be hearing about conditions in gaza as people continue to flee from the north. jeremy bowen is in southern israel, and anna foster is on the border with lebanon, where tensions are rising. but first, here's jeremy bowen. another war, of words, has started over who is responsible for the suffering of palestinian civilians in gaza. israel is dropping the bombs. it says blame hamas for killing and kidnapping and, says israel, hiding behind civilians. gazans crowded into un schools after israel told them to move south towards the egyptian border. they are supposed to be protected by the laws of war. america has felt it necessary to deliver repeated reminders of that to israel, along with military aid. this grandmother blames israel, then speaks of tragedy, hunger, death, fear, horror and destruction. in rafah, at the closed border with egypt, palestinians with foreign passports are hoping to get out, to escape the pressure israel has imposed on civilians, despite its legal obligations. you cannot ask people to move out of harm's way without assisting them to do it, to go to places of their choice where they want to be safe and where the humanitarian aid that they need to make that journey safely. and right now, the movement that has happened has not had those provisions. antony blinken, us secretary of state, returned to israel after a rapid tour of america's arab allies. the us is giving israel all the military aid it wants. but it is trying to stop the war spreading. injerusalem in the parliament, benjamin netanyahu, israel's prime minister, delivered another warning. he told iran and its lebanese ally hezbollah not to test israel. ehud olmert, prime minister when israel last fought hezbollah, in 2006, was scathing about mr netanyahu for mishandling relations with the palestinians, for weakening the rivals of hamas, and said israel should have two objectives. one is to fight hamas. the other is to recognise the palestinian authority and try and uplift the palestinian authority and start negotiating with them and say, there is a horizon of peace after war. in israel, there is unity about fighting hamas. the argument is about why hamas could break through israel's defences, and how to deliver israelis and palestinians from another generation of bloodshed. jeremy bowen, bbc news, southern israel. as we've been hearing, the un is warning more help is needed to support the hundreds of thousands of palestinians who have moved from the north of the territory to the south. but there are those who are refusing to leave their homes, saying there's little support and aid for them if they do. our former gaza correspondent jon donnison has been assessing the dilemma. this is jabalia. once one of the world's most densely populated neighbourhoods, and where those who have survived are clinging on. not far away, abu jalil is one of them, trying to squeeze the last drops out of gaza city's water system, cut off for days. "we will not leave," he says, "we can't." "even if they destroy our homes, where will we go, with a family of five or six?" multiple families are now packed into apartments after their homes were destroyed, but they say it is not safe to move south. "the bombing is happening without warning," says this man, "and if i leave with 50 members of my family, where are we going to get food and water?" and this is where people are being told to go. amid the destruction in southern gaza, the homeless and the hungry who fled the north in their hundreds of thousands are trying to survive. "we have nothing that we need to live," says this man, who fled south. "we are living in a dump, and if we move, we'll die." amid the detritus, and with too few toilets, many are fearful about the spread of disease. there's food, but not enough. "all this will feed less than 2,000 people," says amir. just a fraction of those in need. there are long queues to get bread, but it's being rationed. "we've been waiting here since six in the morning." he tells us, "just to get food to feed the kids." "we will run out of flour," the baker says, "in two days maximum." clean water is also in short supply. and all the while the hospitals in the south, like in the rest of gaza, are overwhelmed with patients. from the old to the very young. born amid the chaos less than a week ago, what kind of life lies ahead of her? jon donnison, bbc news. we can talk now to our reporter rushdi abualouf, who is in khan yunis, in the south of gaza. rushdi, we are hearing of some kind of air strike at that border area but what can you tell us about it, with egypt?— but what can you tell us about it, with . nt?

the egyptian side is damaged. i saw four orfive big holes in the road between gaza side and egypt side. i was asking the authority there, and they said it can be fixed or repaired quickly but they need the egyptian their side of the crossing so they can allow hundreds of people who have dual nationality to leave. the embassies, they contacted their citizen and ask them to register that they are

hamas in southern israel, including six britons. one was natanel young, a 20—year—old british man who was serving in the israeli military. our special correspondent lucy manning has been speaking to his brother. natanel young. a londoner, a music lover, a proud jew, murdered by hamas. his brother elliott remembers a 20—year—old who still had so much life to live. natanel, you know, he just loved life. he had a lot of respect for my parents. he wanted to keep his people safe and defend his country. we're alljust broken. we are still coming to terms with the news. what will you miss about natanel? the last time i saw him was exactly a week before he was killed by the hamas terrorists, and i think if i look back at that day, it's his infectious smile. i will miss that smile, that hug and those laughs we had together. at the funeral on monday, the mourning interrupted. air—raid sirens pierced the grieving as mourners were forced on to the cemetery ground to shield from incoming hamas missiles. it was terrifying. and you know, the thing obviously that went through my head is the fact that, you know, even while i am trying to say goodbye to my brother, they are trying to kill me. it was very scary, especially considering what we have been through, and that my parents, who live in london, had just arrived in israel, to bury their son. eliot, also british but living in israel, worries for others outside the country. i would say to the people and the government of britain, look afterjews, the jews in your country. natanel, just one of 1,400 murdered by hamas in one day. lucy manning, bbc news. the israeli army says it's evacuating 28 towns and villages within around a mile of its northern border with lebanon because of threats of rocket fire from his brother, which, like hamas, is designated a terrorist group by the uk government. israel's military spokesman has accused iran, which backs hezbollah, of ordering recent attacks. 0vernight, israel carried out more strikes on southern lebanon, targeting infrastructre belonging to hezbollah. 0ur correspondent anna foster reports from the israel—lebanon border. they sing. a family says goodbye to theirfallen soldier, murdered by hamas. this woman's grief at her nephew's death is still raw. and now, she's packing to leave home, too. it isn't safe here any more. translation: we can't stay here now, the bangs are very serious. _ it is really scary. i have to get out of here. i've prepared my suitcases and i'm ready. nearly 30 israeli towns and villages along the lebanese border are being evacuated. even the government doesn't know what lies ahead. mr gantz, bbc. you're concerned enough to move lots of people from the border, do you think there will be a war with hezbollah here in the north? i hope for them that not, but we do all of precautions needed. thank you very much. most people didn't wait for the order to leave. as the firing intensified, day after day, they fled. you can see how empty it is and that is why communities right along the northern border look like this. all way from west to east, people are being told they are not safe. that is why they are leaving in such big numbers. well, this is the playground. guy is one of the few that is left. in normal times during this hour, should be packed, especially on vacation time. it's about lunchtime now. there is nobody here. about 80 or 90% of people are left. it's a shame. it's heartbreaking to see this place like — see my place like this. even as tens of thousands of people are moved away, fierce exchanges of fire continue. and despite words of diplomacy, its actions that will decide whether this border ignites. anna a n na foster anna foster there reporting on the possibility that this conflict could escalate. last night on the bbc�*s news at ten we reported on one israeli family coping with the fall out last week's am mass attack and the possibility of a ground invasion into gaza. tonight we have been

displacement. a series of conflicts between arab and jewish fighters from late 1947 saw at least 750,000 palestinian arabs expelled from or flee their homes, in the war surrounding israel's creation. these were a people without a home. many ended up as refugee in gaza and the west bank. the palestinians refer to that at the nakba, or catastrophe. palestinians lived under egyptian rule in gaza but the six—day war saw israel take control of the territory, the palestinians were not their own masters again and they fought the occupation. the years that followed saw rising calls for an independent

of this war and one suspects many more are going to flow. more are going to flow. and let's get a final word from our international editorjeremy bowen, who is in southern israel. jeremy, we are hearing about this suggested air strike on the crossing into egypt, what does that mean, if it is confirmed, which it seems to be the case, what does that mean in terms of the wider conflict here? well, our correspondent there has said he has seen some of the damage so that is very reliable confirmation from him, i think it is a couple of thing, first it could be israeljust make, delivering a firm message, that they are serious about seeing off the palestinians and the pressure they are trying to get to open up isn't going to work, or it could be they are making a statement before they agree to some of the things that the americans, mr blinken, the secretary of state in the un and others have been asking for which is a humanitarian corridor going through that of area, doesn't mean to say they are not going to loosen up a bit. i think at the moment, though, there is this other clock going, the countdown as to whether or not, i think when israel starts outs ground offensive. this has been another day of waiting. the secretary of state has been here and i don't think they would send the taj tanks in while he was there. the time is an froemptsds we are into a whole new phase. thank you for that. jeremy bowen reporting there from southern israel. that is it from us here, now back to you london. here, the prime minister has confirmed to mps that six britons are known to have died in the attack on israel and ten are missing. rishi sunak reiterated his support for both thejewish and muslim communities in the uk. earlier, during a visit to a jewish school in north london, he said the government would do everything it can to keep jewish people safe. here's our political editor chris mason. from the horrors in the middle east, to communities here feeling under threat. two schools in london targeted in recent days, by anti—semitic vandalism. as the prime minister visited anotherjewish school,in the capital. we've had an appalling rise in anti—semitic incidents over the past week. that is something that is tragic. no young person, none of you should have to deal with hate like that. in parliament this afternoon, heads bowed, a minute's silence. and later rishi sunak told mps of the british victims of hamas's slaughter. with a heavy heart, i can inform the house that at least six british citizens were killed. a further ten are missing, some of whom are feared to be among the dead. we must support absolutely israel's right to defend itself. this must be done in line with international humanitarian law. as a friend, we will continue to call on israel, to take every possible precaution to avoid harming civilians. the prime minister said the uk would provide an extra £10 million of aid to the palestinians, gone today was the commons at its tribal noisiest. instead, much reflective agreement. let's send a strong message — westminster is united, britain is united with israel, against terror, for international law, and the protection of innocent lives. we all need to be very very conscious that history willjudge us on our response, not just to these abhorrent attacks but to the humanitarian crisis which is undoubtedly unfolding in gaza. the prime minister was asked if israel had acted within international law. he did not offer an explicit answer. events thousands of miles away, will continue to shape much more discussion here. chris mason, bbc news, westminster. lucy you have some more information. distressing news from israel. we have the names of two israeli british sisters who are missing, the family believe they could have been kidnapped, into gaza, those british sisters, they are 13—year—old noya and 16—year—old yael. and tragically their mother leanne who is also british, lives in israel was born in the uk, herfamily were informed last night that she had been murdered by hamas. the family don't want their last name released but we understand they are from one of the kick bits, that were attacked and people were massacred by hamas. —— kibbutz. the number is almost too hard to come helped, 1400, but here with have two sisters the and their mother who are either dead or missing. mother who are either dead or missinr. . , thanks very much lucy. the conservative mp peter bone is facing a possible six—week suspension from the commons. it's been recommended by a parliamentary watchdog which upheld complaints against the mp about bullying and sexual misconduct towards a member of his staff. mr bone — who's the mp for wellingborough — insists the allegations are "false and without foundation". figures obtained by the bbc show a&e waiting times at welsh hospitals have been seriously under—reported for the past decade. according to the royal college of emergency medicine, thousands of patients were excluded from the official statistics recorded every month. the welsh government says it will ask health boards for assurances they are following guidance "to ensure the data is absolutely transparent". early results from the general election in poland suggest that the ruling populistjustice party is unlikely to secure a third term in office. early indications are that the civic coalition, led by donald tusk, the former head of the european commission, together with two opposition parties will form the next government. voter turnout looks to be the highest since the fall of communism in 1989. low level offenders may avoid jail and foreign criminals may be deported earlier in their sentences in government plans to reduce overcrowding in prisons in england and wales. figures from earlier this year revealed that 61% of prisons were overcrowded. thejustice secretary, alex chalk, said he wanted to see more offenders electronically tagged and for them to do community work rather than short stints in prison. but serious criminals would be made to serve their full sentences. bbutz, that were attacked what more has he had to say we have been talking — what more has

an all—time high, double the level of 30 years ago. 1,000 people were locked up and there were just 500 spare space, as you mentioned the reoffending rates for people with sentences of less than 12 months is higher than the general prison population, if you scrap those shorter, prison sentences, those of less than 12 months you will get those people that rather than reoffending they are more likely to be rehabilitated. they will do community service instead. other measures he mention was to remove foreign offenders sooner into their sentence, send them back and to rent space from foreign prisons, for british prisoners to go abroad, to address this issue of capacity. now campaigners say they tories may have been victim of their own success, labour say the fact they are having to introduce any measures means it a damning diet on the government's policy on prisons. is is thank you a new veterinary hospital at battersea dogs and cats home will be named after the late paul
