overs to spare. sri lanka have yet to win. the international olympic committee has approved five new sports including cricket and flag football for inclusion at the 2020 los angeles games, lacrosse, squash, baseball softball also included. each host city canning request the inclusion of several spots for their games. this is a huge moment for those sports which have been granted olympic recognition. yes it was a formality today but none wanted to celebrate before clearing this final hurdle. for cricket and appearance in los angeles in 2028 is an ability to grow the game in the us. the world cup is there next year and in the olympics in four years. it is not lost on anyone that the return of cricket for the first time since the paris olympics in 1900 has been made here in india in the midst of the country hosting the cricket world cup. the support for the game in this part of the world has been a big driver in the ioc desire to bring cricket into the olympics. the indian bring cricket into the olympics. tue: indian people bring cricket into the olympics. tte: indian people are very supportive. they are always in full stadiums. we see it now. i think this one will help

and last featured back in 1908 at the london games. both baseball and softball return. they were left off the paris list but are back in los angeles in 2028. that is all from the world of sport at the moment. thank you very much indeed. away from the middle east we are going to focus on a story that is pretty important to matters in ukraine and that is the significant election result in poland. the next second exit poll has now predicted that the governing law and justice party did win the big share of the vote in sunday's elections but will most likely lose power, they will get the first opportunity to form a government but it is expected they will struggle to command a parliamentary majority. that then opens the door to three opposition groups to form the governing coalition. the largest among them is the civic coalition led by the former head of the european council donald tusk. yesterday people approach me and asked will you be able to do it? it was not possible for so many years. this is the end of this bad time. this is the end of this bad time. this is the end of the rule of law and justice. joining us from warsaw is the former prime minister who is a very good friend of donald tusk. thank you for coming on the programme. it is equally important to poland as well as ukraine, they said it was the most important elections since the fall of communism, why?- elections

rule of law is important for them. that they need checks and balances over the institutions and that also ukraine, as you mentioned, is an important ally of poland. we would like to play this important role as an international hub and a neighbouring friendly country to ukraine. let international hub and a neighbouring friendly country to ukraine.— friendly country to ukraine. let me ick u-

got the veto right which is a bit difficult to overtake. to overtake it you need 276 votes which at the moment would be impossible for the opposition to get. so this is a kind of hopefully our cohabitation, hopefully understanding that the judicial reform was a really important barrier for poland to reach an agreement with the european commission so the president could be a facilitator and a partner in good cohabitation or could be an obstacle. cohabitation or could be an obstacle-— cohabitation or could be an obstacle. . , ., obstacle. that is something to watch. if that _ obstacle.

about ukraine, is the amount of money spent on defence. the last government wanted poland to be the biggest standing european army within nato, do you think that will still remain a priority for donald tusk? t still remain a priority for donald tusk? , ., , , ., tusk? i strongly believe that in poland there _ tusk? i strongly believe that in poland there is _ tusk? i strongly believe that in

spending that there used to be over the course of last years however at the same time, but it's quite serious concern about the shape of the public finances in poland. and maybe one of the first, key tasks for the government will be to simply have a review of the public finance and to really figure out what are the possible borrowing needs for the government. i am not saying this is as serious as it was a few months ago with the government in your country, in britain, with the prime minister. however the borrowing needs are quite demanding. the incumbent government actually planned to double the borrowing needs for the next year, whether it is feasible in the changing global environment, the volatile financial market is the question and a challenge. market is the question and a

last cage, the thorny issue in the european union is migration. the eastern european countries have stood in the way of taking their fare share of migrants, germany has been pushing, do you think given that donald tusk was the former president of the european council, it will be very difficult for him to resist the quarter that poland will be expected to take?— be expected to take? yes. but according _ be expected to take? yes. but according to — be expected to take? yes. but according to the _ be expected to take? yes. but according to the legislation, i according to the legislation, european legislation, poland could be released from the additional quotas due to the fact that we absorbed a million of ukrainians or maybe more and that we are still open to the ukrainians. we offer them all the social assistance and benefits which are due for the polish people. so that is the main purpose of the next government to be really reliable for the eastern neighbour. tt really reliable

coming on the programme. so no question the europeans will be celebrating the return of donald tusk given that he was the former president of the european council. it should put the relationship back on the right track. let us hope they have more luck than the european parliamentarians who were heading by train from brussels to strasbourg today. when a routing editor at paris charles de gaulle meant their sncf train was sent not to strasbourg but to euro disney. someone clearly taking the mickey. fortunately the politicians did see the funny side of it. including the dutch mep who posted a picture from the train bar. including the dutch mep who posted a picture from the train bar. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bringing you different stories from across the uk. all residents have learning disabilities or autism. it is not easy to recruit because retail and nhs jobs generally pay more. it worries me for the people that we support, it worries me what is going to happen to them and how we are going to make sure that we can keep recruiting and we can keep supporting them to live the best life ever? the government has put an extra £2.11 billion into social care, but it's only enough to match the increase in inflation. care worker pay is a really big issue, it is an issue that the local government association has lobbied hard on. and to make a step change is difficult, it needs funding to councils to increase, and of course it needs to increase in a way that it gets through to the care worker pay. many at the summit believe better wages won't solve everything, but care organisations like karen's say if staff were rewarded for what they do, there would be more personalised help to go around. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. as israel prepares for the ground invasion of the gaza strip, the tensions are ramping up in the northern border with lebanon with concern is mounting that the war could spread. today the israelis have evacuated 28 communities that are within two kilometres of the lebanese border. israel defence forces has accused iran of ordering these attacks. our correspondent is on the border and has sent this update. 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. we will be watching that very closely. the number of hostages they really think hamas is holding has been revised upwards 199 people, that figure is up 44 on the last number we had. the bbc has learned that two of the ten british nationals still missing are sisters. the family of noiya who is 13 and 16—year—old yahel whose surname has not yet been given believe they were kidnapped from the kibbutz be'eri and taken across the border into gaza. their mother was killed in the attack. there's been no video of the hostages, the only update we have had from the israeli defence force is that best guess is they have been disbursed to multiple locations in this vast network of tunnels beneath gaza. by some estimates there is 500 kilometres of tunnel, a labyrinth for the invading army to negotiate. imagine what it would be like as a hostage in that situation. claustrophobic, constant sound of the bombardment some of the tunnels collapsing, all of that compounded by the fear and panic of what's to come. children, elderly parents and the wounded. let us speak to a military analyst who is a former british army officer. can i get you to comment on some of the news we have seen in the last hour from the head of the hamas diaspora office. he is saying they think they have between 200 and 250 hostages, some of them dispersed with other groups and some of those include high ranking officers from the gaza division and he pointed to the gaza division and he pointed to the 6000 palestinian men and women held in israeli jails. what does all that tell you? t held in israeli “ails. what does all that tell you?— that tell you? i think we held -- heard originally _ that tell you? i think we held -- heard originally that _ that tell you? i think we held -- heard originally that senior - that tell you? i think we held -- i heard originally that senior israeli officers had been taken. of course israel has a culture of having a lot of people who served in the armed forces which has allowed them to mmp forces which has allowed them to ramp up quickly their reserves in the last week saw a number of people taking could have had rankin israel defence forces as well so might well be senior reservists as well as active officers and certainly in the initial week of operations by hamas we heard reports that some people had been taken. so obviously quite felt —— high—value hostages. the point about 6000 palestinians is in the past there has always been a trade for israel getting hostages back. they have often traded large numbers of palestinian captives for one is really and that is what hamas is pointing to here but the group knows the scale of the action they have undertaken and the level of atrocity across southern israel means that the hostages are not the main issue at stake. the group might be trying to make them more of an issue but to some extent there is really is our focus notjust on returning the hostages but on conducting an operation to root out hamas root and branch.— hamas root and branch. qatar is t in: to hamas root and branch. qatar is trying to persuade _ hamas root and branch. qatar is trying to persuade hamas - hamas root and branch. qatar is

have some sway but can you see hamas releasing these people while the bombardment is under way? tt is a bombardment is under way? it is a very interesting — bombardment is under way? it is a very interesting game _ bombardment is under way? it is a very interesting game that - bombardment is under way? it is a very interesting game that is - bombardment is under way? tt 3 —. very interesting game that is under way with this. hamas is trying to isolate israel on the world stage, cut off from its support by knowing they would bring the israelis into an operation in gaza where palestinians would suffer and instead of the victim, israel would be blamed, particularly by the arab world. not so much the leader is moving closer to israel but the population of arab countries. that process is happening before our eyes looking at southern gaza and the life support for people there but overall, more interestingly is the international captives, a number of them are foreign nationals arejoe nationals as hamas has said and they can move further towards the international community by releasing some of those. —— dual nationals. this would put them in a better light than what they have done so far and further shift the momentum against israel. so notjust the women and children as a goodwill gesture although it is late for that but also some of the jill gesture although it is late for that but also some of thejill nationals they were used to further sway that balance of sentiment around support for the actions of israel. t am for the actions of israel. i am lookin: for the actions of israel. i am looking at — for the actions of israel. i am looking at the _ for the actions of israel. i am looking at the pictures - for the actions of israel. i am looking at the pictures of - for the actions of israel. i am looking at the pictures of the j looking at the pictures of the tunnels, such an intricate network, this labyrinth of tunnels, a lot of them look like single file, how do you go in there and think about recovering hostages when you are following each other one by one? tt following each other one by one? tt is a brutal environment. the british army chains in the tunnels in gibraltar. —— trains there. it is a very claustrophobic environment. however many of you there are, there is only one person at the front in a tunnel potentially facing one or two adversaries who prepare traps. they know the layout without lights for example. one of the things which changes slightly is the advent of technology. we have seen the use of drones on the battlefield increased dramatically since israel engaged in this kind of conflict. we have seen drones on semi—autonomous ground vehicles being used in this environment. it is a very slow process but israel will be keen to protect as many lives as possible. hamas also using devices like that potentially in that environment so not only is it claustrophobic fighting but we also have this technological aspect which will either make it better or much worse. we are entering a new time with this. the israeli forces will have changed with this, they use virtual reality simulations. they have training set up specifically in the environment in gaza. it is a huge mission they have done already and train for repeatedly.— train for repeatedly. really fascinating, _ train for repeatedly. really fascinating, thank - train

switch close —— quickly to brussels. two swedish people killed by a gunman in the belgian capital. we are told automatic gunfire was heard and we have seen social media saying a man speaking in arabic has carried out the attack and done it in the name of god. we know two people had been killed and one seriously injured. the belgian prosecutor is saying they are treating it as a terrorist —related attack. hello. monday brought us a fairly crisp autumn day with some sunshine, be it a little bit hazy, but it's going to be all change. next day or so, still largely dry with sunny spells and some frost around. but midweek onwards, a real change to increasingly windy weather with some heavy rain as well. and that's all courtesy of our second named storm of the season, storm babet, which has formed close to the canary islands. it's pushing its way now — you can see on the satellite image — towards the bay of biscay. and as we head through the middle of the week, this low pressure system merging with another one from the atlantic is going to bring increasingly wet and windy weather, especially across parts of scotland. but we're all going to be seeing some heavy rain widely between about 30—50 millimetres, but it's this zone across central and eastern scotland, you can see on the rainfall accumulation map here, we could see between 150—200 millimetres of rain from wednesday to saturday, enough to cause some flooding issues, there'll also be strong winds and big waves, too. now for the rest of the evening and overnight, then, most of us looking dry, perhaps a few showers close to lincolnshire, norfolk as well. clearer skies across the northern half of the uk where we'll see a frost again. half of the uk where but further south, not as cold as last night because we've got more cloud around and slightly milder air too. a bit of rain tuesday morning for the likes of cornwall, devon pushing into pembrokeshire as well. most other areas looking dry. plenty of sunshine for scotland, northern and eastern england after any morning mist clears away. sunny spells for belfast, i think 1a celsius here. but that rain will push across northern ireland. through into the evening hours and overnight into wednesday, wet weather sweeps up across central parts of scotland, and more showers start to arrive from the south. it'll be a milder night, so temperatures certainly frost free, between about 8—15 celsius, i think, first thing wednesday. so, yes, some mild air with us, but you can see the proximity of the isobars. that means the winds are starting to pick up, and the rain is starting to arrive as well. so, yes, some mild air with us, but you can see the proximity of the isobars. that means the winds are starting to pick up, and the rain is starting to arrive as well. so wednesday then initially a bit of rain for scotland, looks like we'll see more rain into parts of southern england. some of this potentially heavy, could be thundery, and the winds are rotating around that area of low pressure. so gusts widely between about 35—a5mph on wednesday. it'll be a bit milder compared to monday and tuesday, so highs between about 10 celsius in the north, still chilly there, to about 17 celsius towards the south. and then it's thursday into friday that we see the persistent, at times heavy rain and the strong winds, which are likely to cause some disruption. bye— bye. hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. the crossing was targeted for the third time since october the 10th. the road that leads to the palestinian side to the egyptian side is damaged. hospitals are running out of fuel, running out of supplies, - up in the north, people can't move without help. - you know our deep commitment to israel's right and, indeed, its obligation to defend itself and to defend its people. the diplomacy continues to try find ways of getting aid into gaza, where food fuel and water is in desperately short supply. the rafah crossing on the border with egypt remains closed. hamas has fired another barrage of rockets atjerusalem and tel aviv today, with sirens sending lawmakers to bomb shelters. in total, more than 2,700 people in gaza have now been killed in retaliatory strikes by israel. and yet still hamas refuses to releases the hostages. 199 are being held, including two british teenagers whose mother
