Bringing heavy rain and winds to the north and east of uk and this shows the storm moving northwards on wednesday, parking itself across the north of the uk on friday but low pressure is close by and brings further heavy rain even further south so it will be a very unsettled week for the rest of the week and into the weekend and rainfall totals mounting up, you can see on the scale, the brighter echoes in Eastern Scotland and North East England is where we have concerns for the risk of localised flooding but because of the heavy rain which we have seen in scotland in the past week or so, the ground is saturated so the met office have an Amber Warning in force but this could be extended further south but that caters for the persistent heavy rain and the risk of localised flooding. Heading through tonight, many places will be dry, central, northern and eastern areas have a strong outhwaite south easterly wind. Temperatures, no problems with frost, 9 12 point we start the day on a fine note centre and in many places but windy and Rain Peppering Up places but windy and Rain Peppering Up for Northern Ireland and across southern britain, the first signs of storm temple removing up with strong winds, heavy and thundery rain and the wind picking up across north sea coast but despite the wind, it will be quite mild, 14 16 or 17 celsius. On wednesday night, storm babet moved northwards, Up Into Scotland and Northern Ireland by the end of the night and some of the rain will be quite heavy, strong and gusty winds and further south, clear spells but a rash of heavy showers pushing in and it will be a mild night. On thursday, the heaviest rain is in the north of the uk, further south, a mixture of heavy showers and strong winds. Thanks, stav. Thats it from here. Back to Clive In Jerusalem for the latest on tonights developments. Thank you. An appalling night of bloodshed in gaza. We can get a final word from our international editor, jeremy bowen. Some Breaking News in the past few minutes, we are hearing thatjordan has cancelled its planned meeting withjoe biden, who is on his way in a motorcade, we understand, towards Air Force One to actually get to this region but what can you tell us about that . The Jordanian Foreign can you tell us about that . Tue Jordanian Foreign minister can you tell us about that . Tte Jordanian Foreign minister has been on various tv stations, announcing that this four away summit between joe biden, and americas main arab allies in the middle east, that will not now take place. Palestinian leader mac and a bus had already cancelled and is travelling back home Mahmoud Abbas. It knocks the bottom out of a lot President Biden� s programme and it is a big snap to an american president. A few years ago his middle eastern allies would not have dared to do Something Like this to the american Head Of State and i think it also means the chances if the president doing anything to calm this situation down have now been much reduced. Jeremy, thank ou, have now been much reduced. Jeremy, thank you. Jeremy have now been much reduced. Jeremy, thank you, jeremy bowen have now been much reduced. Jeremy, thank you, jeremy bowen in have now been much reduced. Jeremy, thank you, jeremy bowen in southern i thank you, jeremy bowen in Southern Israel. There is a shared innocence of civilians on both sides that has been taken away throughout this war, victims who were simply living their lives but had been dragged into a conflagration beyond their control. The devastating explosion tonight in gaza, the latest example, leaving families grieving over the dead. For now, as israel readies to invade, the work continues to try to improve the work continues to try to improve the conditions of more than a Million People in the territory and thatis Million People in the territory and that is a crucial part ofjoe biden� s mission here tomorrow but complicated by tonights latest tragedy. And while he may not be able to see many of the arabs in the region, perhaps something can come from the meeting with benjamin netanyahu. That is this is the situation for our viewers, Air Force One awaiting the arrival ofjoe biden, the backdrop to this visit could not be worse. An attack on a hospital in gaza city this evening which has killed 500 people, many more injured and wounded, a hospital that was providing refuge to some 6000 people according to the anglican rector we spoke to this evening who had responsibility for this facility. Lets speak to jeremy bowen responsibility for this facility. Lets speak Tojeremy Bowen who is in Southern Israel for us this evening. Goodness me, the white house must be looking at the pictures being beamed around the world and wondering what comes tomorrow and in what direction the conflict goes next. What are you hearing from sources on the ground particularly the israelis . Weve heard from those who are pointing the finger at islamichhad. The israelis got the finger at islamichhad. The israelis got their the finger at islamichhad. Tt;e israelis got their denial in very quickly. Pointing the finger at Islamic Jihad, the number two armed group in gaza, the smaller one. Closer ties to iran then hamas have got. But they did it. Now if you look at the video that was posted about that, it shows a really big explosion. One thing that an investigation into this would really need to try to find out is whether or not Islamic Jihad had any weapons of that strength, whether they were able to do it, after nothing like as big or serious is that, but other faces of the conflict between hamas and israel say the last couple years. There have been assertions in the past by israel is that islamichhad weapons have fallen short, which they have then walked back afterwards subsequently. But the thing is the boat sides are now both sides are embedded in their positions. Israelis say that it didnt do it, is Notjust Hamas and islamichhad saying its the israelis behind it, its the leading arab allies who are also saying it. So this makes it really difficult, the whole bottom has been knocked out of the trip because the whole point was to get some kind of dialogue going, and attempt to make conditions betterfor dialogue going, and attempt to make conditions better for palestinians, and now its much harderfor him. It was already a gamble because of course, normally when president s get on aeroplanes to visit places and make agreements, its all been arranged by the time they leave their offices to get to the plane. But nothing is arranged. Normally the come but nothing is arranged. Normally they come to but nothing is arranged. Normally they come to an but nothing is arranged. Normally they come to an agreement but nothing is arranged. Normally they come to an agreement that l but nothing is arranged. Normally i they come to an Agreement Thatjust needs the eyes darting in the Tease Crossing and the president comes in, they get the deal over the line and they get the deal over the line and they appear for the Press Conferences and announce it. But i cant imagine that is the case here because it a Ground Offensive, we dont know what will unfold or not, the arabs are not speaking to President Biden because theyve cancelled their meetings tomorrow. There is so much in the air, jeremy. There is so much in the air, jeremy. There is so much in the air and another reason for biden coming was trying to take measures to deter any of israels biggest enemies, which is iran and hezbollah, which is the situation in lebanon, deterring them from getting involved in the war. The iranians have already said that if palestinian casualties continue to mount, they would not be able they would have to be an answer to it. So on all fronts, the humanitarian situation in gaza, the military situation to this war between israel and gaza, the chances of the war spreading on all those things, everything is showing critical, red lights are buzzing all over the middle east. So biden is coming in to the middle of this, and i think also the fact that the arabs felt quite comfortable about cancelling these meetings with him, its first of all a reflection of the gravity of the situation. I think its also a reflection of the waning power of the United States, because not that many years ago i dont think they wouldve delivered what actually is a great big snub to the president of the United States. Why do you think hes coming, jeremy . With out a number of commentators this evening who say they will push for a cease fire. There was an eight hour meeting with Secretary Blinken last night, and an announcement he was on his way. Do you think maybe the events of tonight have shifted the equation . I dont know but as we watch these pictures of him arriving, do you think he now has in mind a different agendas of the one he perhaps was thinking of setting out 2a hours ago . Thinking of setting out 24 hours auo . ~. , thinking of setting out 24 hours am . , thinking of setting out 24 hours auo . , ago . Well, i have covered probably all of israels ago . Well, i have covered probably all of israels major ago . Well, i have covered probably all of israels major conflicts ago . Well, i have covered probably all of israels major conflicts with l all of israels major conflicts with its arab neighbours in the last 30 odd years or so. And theres a pattern sometimes i saw in lebanon in 1996, in 2006, in various rounds here between israel and hamas. What happens sometimes is that things progress and The Americans have israels back diplomatically, and then theres some appalling massacre, which then i think The Americans tend to say, hang on a minute, enough is enough, time for a cease fire. There hasnt even been a Ground Attack now and ive been reporting it looks pretty certain that the israelis will send troops in. And why was i doing that . Well, because of what mr netanyahu was saying, what his generals and Defence Minister was saying, saying things, we will wipe hamas off the face of the earth. We will demolish hamas. So they have a very maximal agenda which is the kind of thing that you cannot get, history shows very clearly, simply through air strikes. To even attempt to do it, and its not certain youll get it, the record of recent invasions of countries often results in circumstances that the invader didnt want you look at The Americans, the brits in iraq, and others. So i think that if the american president comes in and says, lets do some sort of a deal here, that i think the likes of hamas will say, well, they didnt destroy us of the face of the earth. Thats something theyll claim has a victory, and netanyahus enemies will say its a defeat. T enemies will say its a defeat. I was going to ask you about the personal relationship these two leaders have, butjust to your last point, you could see how they would say, we cant walk away from this because i would be an Existential Threat to the state of israel, because our enemies would always think they can come at us and we wouldnt fulfil what we said we wouldnt fulfil what we said we would do. Ijust think in terms of the personal relationship, because its not entirely cosy yes, President Biden backs israel to the hilt, but the relationship between these two men is not that strong. Its terrible joe biden was reviewing the maker refusing to have a meeting with netanyahu because he didnt agree with some of the things he was doing, and didnt agree with some of the things he was doing. An he was doing, and terms of the very controversial he was doing, and terms of the very controversial changes he was doing, and terms of the very controversial changes he he was doing, and terms of the very controversial changes he was he was doing, and terms of the very controversial changes he was trying | controversial changes he was trying to make here inside israel. Netanyahu expected to get an invitation to the white house, he didnt get one. Previous american president s, as well, hes had a really bad relationships with obama, clinton and thats because he tends to lecture them, and that something they dont like. And also, of course, he was very close with donald trump. So all those things mean that while biden is very pro israel and has been his whole political life, hes not pro netanyahu. So netanyahu was already in a vulnerable place here in israel, so my question is, in terms of, if netanyahu in recent months has been condemned by his clinical enemies for doing anything he can to try to hold on to power, and if on the one hand, he says, im mr security, ill protect israel, and israel doesnt get protected and theres a massive Intelligence Failure which is what happened on the 7th of october, then mr netanyahu says, I Will Go Into Gaza and we will wipe these people off the face of the earth, we will demolish them because of what theyve done, then doesnt do it, then i think hell get even more criticised from within israel. So i think there are leaders of numbers of countries who will not get a great deal of sleep tonight in advance of whatever comes in the morning. T advance of whatever comes in the mornin . ,. , advance of whatever comes in the mornin . , i. , morning. I must let you go the end of a very long morning. I must let you go the end of a very long day. Morning. I must let you go the end of a very long day, jeremy, morning. I must let you go the end of a very long day, jeremy, but morning. I must let you go the end| of a very long day, jeremy, butjust a couple lines of Breaking News. The first is that his brother have called for a day of rage tomorrow. The other line thats coming out of brussels is that Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the Fatal Shooting of those two swedish nationals last night. We know what days of rage mean, we had one the other day, weve had subsequent attacks in western capitals on previous events like this. There will be real anxiety in western capitals about where this is headed. Intelligence chiefs have been meeting in california, and quite a public forum, and one of the things theyve been discussing is the way in which there could be greater radicalisation because of events in the middle east. So yeah, it is a real reminder about why events in this part of the world matter. It is not something which is simply restricted to the region. As for days of rage, i think people who dont want this to escalate will be hoping that the day of rage will be a series of demonstrations and maybe a series of demonstrations and maybe a certain amount of Missile Firing that does not really escalate. But the thing about such a volatile and difficult situation, when things are already very sensitive and on a tight rope, it means at times like this can add such an extra element of heat, uncertainty, fear, hatred, making Decision Making much harder and also much increasing the risks of misperception, mistakes, escalation and all the kinds of things which result in wider wars. Jeremy, things are much for your time this evening, just as we watch these Life PicturesLife Pictures of President Biden on route jeremy, thanks so much for your time this evening. Asjeremy has been telling you, there is so much to be discussed not least the humanitarian situation in gaza and where this conflict goes next. Joining us now from washington is our correspondent Barbara Plett usher. Have you heard any word from the white house or the Security Team about how this changes ahead of them taking off tonight . Thea;r about how this changes ahead of them taking off tonight . Taking off tonight . They havent made any comment taking off tonight . They havent made any comment about taking off tonight . They havent made any comment about the l taking off tonight . They havent made any comment about the explosion at the hospital, but as you can see theyve not also decided to cancel theyve not also decided to cancel the trip, they are very much Going Forward with a and i expect they will issue in a statement at some point in reaction to what happened. But you have these competing claims about who is responsible, with the Palestinian Group islamichhad, one of their missiles went astray, and the palestinians saying it was an air strike by the israelis. And i think its quite a difficult thing, a sensitive thing to call it, so i think they want to be very clear before they would make any sort of statement about that, although there will be expressions of sorrow over the amount of casualties, but its definitely something that has changed the dynamics around the trip for sure. ~. , changed the dynamics around the trip for sure. ~. ,. ,. ,. , for sure.
