We have been showing this chart a lot in the last few days, showing just how much rainfall, the total is stacking up across the country and widespread and within that white is only in Eastern Scotland we could see as much as two months worth of rainfall by the time we get to the end of the day on friday. It is all because of storm babet which is moving further northwards heading through tonight and the rain will edge into northern england, Southern Scotland President Biden, in israel today, says hes opened the way for humanitarian access to gaza.

People came out here last night and were absolutely enraged, not only at the israeli were absolutely enraged, not only at the Israeli Government but the Palestinian Authority, the top edge of the Palestinian Authority, the top edge of the Israeli Government. The impet of the Israeli Government. The purwpet of~ well discuss with our panel whether diplomacy might at least moderate the violence and what an eventual search for peace might look like. Also tonight with fears that the conflict could spark radicalisation and violence on british streets, weve an exclusive interview with the commissioner for countering extremism.

Maybe it was not| viewed as being quite as pressing a Security Threat to the uk as we may now view it in the wake of what has happened in israel. Good evening. President biden went ahead with a visit to israel today despite an explosion at a Gaza Hospital last night that claimed a great many lives. That shocking event caused arab leaders to abandon a meeting injordan with mr biden. But he pressed on regardless, announcing that israel had agreed not to hinder the delivery of humanitarian aid through egypts border with gaza and in the last hour has said that egypt has agreed to allow a handful of trucks through the crossing. Its a small step and it looks like a Ground Assault will still go ahead. So the diplomacy is still about easing the pain rather than stopping it. Soon after arriving in israel, the president gave his view about who was responsible for the Al Ahli Hospital disaster. Based on what i have seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team. , , appears as though it was done by the other team. ,. , other team. Inevitably the two belligerents were other team.

Belligerents were quick to tell the world the sight of what happened. The gaza health ministry, effectively hamas, very quickly said 500 had died in the blast and israeli accounts initially suggested it was a hamas missile and then later and Islamichhad One that had dropped into the hospital. But what about the work of so called independent analysts. Justin bronk tweeted soon after this footage appeared, this does not look quite so silent quite like an air strike. To me the explosion frame is visible look like a largely propellant fire rather than a high explosive detonation. I rather than a high explosive detonation. Rather than a high explosive detonation. I would be fairly confident detonation. I would be fairly confident based detonation. I would be fairly confident based on detonation. I would be fairly i confident based on the daylight footage of the car park of the hospital in saying this was not an air dropped bomb, because there is a very, very small crater, far too small to be any of the Air Launch Munitions used by the israeli air force. There is very little sign of blast damage already surrounding structures, even the terracotta tiling. The awning of the car park is barely disturbed, there is a regular shrapnel damage but that is not what you would expect to see with a high explosive bomb having gone off, you would expect a heavy shock wave to blow off roof tiles and cause damage to surrounding buildings. Instead you see a lot of brain damage from burned out cars which fits more closely with the other theory, a rocket body causing an initial smaller explosion and then a fuel flyer. figs an initial smaller explosion and then a fuel flyer. An initial smaller explosion and then a fuel flyer. As for the toll, one australian then a fuel flyer. As for the toll, one australian analyst then a fuel flyer. As for the toll, one australian analyst pointed l then a fuel flyer. As for the toll, | one australian analyst pointed to the car park where many deaths occurred, tweeting, only three cars show any clear sign of kinetic structural damage. A blast powerful enough to kill 500 people would surely have destroyed everything in the car park and created a deep crater. There were no signs of one of those either, leaving him to say of those either, leaving him to say of the death toll, it seems wildly inconsistent with the damage we can see. But today the palestinian doctor who had been working at the Hospital Last Night insisted, we know that the number killed exceeds 500. The view of the Us Intelligence committee briefed to the New York Times this evening is that palestinians were responsible for the blast, regardless of the numbers. The Israeli Military released what it said were intercepted conversations between palestinian commanders and details of radar tracks showing missile launchers. But of course american or israeli disclosures are not likely to sway many arab minds. There is no conclusive proof after all. The theory shown on the streets across theory shown on the streets across the middle east is just one sign of that, and that anger creates its own obstacle. Arab leaders fearing that close diplomatic engagement with the west would make it worse. Lets go tojerusalem now to talk to emir. Emir, a difficult day diplomatically, but of course hostilities have carried on regardless. Where have you been today . We have been all over. We were on the way to tel aviv when we got stuck in a huge trafficjam thanks to President Biden� s trip. We spent most of our day in the west bank at a protest in ramallah and we really got a sense of this theory you refer to towards the Israeli Government because of the Hospital Blast and the message that israel has been putting out and the evidence that it says proves it was not involved in the blast. We have not seen that make a dent on the popular opinion and we have seen protests notjust in the west bank but in neighbouring countries, jordan, lebanon and egypt.

Despite President Biden� s trip being a bit overshadowed by the blast, he managed to strike this deal with israel and egypt. He said egyptian president sisi agreed to open up the rafah Border Crossing to allow up to 20 trucks of humanitarian assistance into gaza, he said if hamas confiscates them or does not lead them through it will end. The bottom line is sisi deserves a lot of credit for this deal as you can now watch our reporter from the protests we join today in the west bank. Ad you can now watch. I5 today in the west bank.

People came out last night and were absolutely enrage not only at the Israeli Government but the Palestinian Authority, which is a puppet of the Israeli Government. And angered by what some see as bias against them by parts of the international media. We had just left a protest at the centre of ramallah. There are women, children, young guys, everyone very angry but it was fairly peaceful until be said which channel we were from, we were told to leave. Later today, local authorities announced two palestinians were killed by the israeli army near here. They were reported to have been burning tyres and protest. Over 60 palestinians have died in increased violence in the west bank since the war began amid a wave of arrests, and there are fears it might widen. President bidens was meant to bring some of solution to the situation until the Hospital Blast and Palestinian Authority president mahmoud above subsequently pulling out of the planned meeting.

Let me be clear, if hamas diverts all steel fee assistance, they will have demonstrated once again they have demonstrated once again they have no concern for the welfare of the palestinian people.
