On bbc news, india make it four wins out of four at the cricket world cup. Virat kohli completing his century off the final ball of the match against bangladesh. Good evening from jerusalem, where rishi sunak has pledged to stand with israel, in its darkest hour. Hes been meeting Prime Minister netanyahu, and israels president , as the country prepares for a possible Ground Invasion into gaza, targeting members of hamas, responsible for the deaths of around 1,400 people, after an attack on southern israel, 12 days ago. Hamas is designated as a Terror Organisation by many western governments including the uk, and mr sunak says the group represents pure evil. Israel has carried out several days of Bombing Raids over gaza, the Health Authorities there say more than 3,400 have died, alongside a total blockade, leaving more than two Million People in desperate need of humanitarian help. Aid agencies are warning the deal agreed yesterday, allowing an initial 20 lorries with food, medicine and water into the territory, is inadequate. Heresjeremy bowen. Britains Prime Minister came, he said, because israel faces its darkest hour. Israel is welcoming its allies. It will need their support in the next few weeks. Waiting injerusalem was benjamin netanyahu, israels Prime Minister, a day after he welcomed joe biden. We absolutely support israels right to defend itself in line with international law, to go after hamas, to take back hostages, to deter further incursions and to strengthen your security for the long term. Now, i know that you are taking every precaution to avoid harming civilians, in direct contrast to the terrorists of hamas, which seek to put civilians in harms way. We have here two forces. One is an axis of evil led by iran, through hezbollah, hamas and others, that want to bring back the middle east of the middle ages, to an age of bondage and war and slavery and annihilation. And the other force is the forces of progress and humanity that want to push the middle east into a world of peace and prosperity. In southern gaza, United Nations workers were among the wounded as israels strikes continued. More than one million palestinians have fled to the south on israels instructions. Gazas civilians, sealed off from the world by israels siege, face catastrophe. Aid has been waiting for days on the egyptian side of the border. Joe biden persuaded the israelis to allow 20 lorries to cross into gaza tomorrow. Injerusalem, this man, head of the uns agency for palestinian refugees, told me they need much more. A few days ago, you has some very strong comments after civilians sheltering in one of the schools were killed. Is there is a safe place for anyone in gaza . There is no safe place in gaza today. There is nowhere where the civilian population feels safe. What do you make of the biden plan . Listen, we are calling for a humanitarian corridor, but the humanitarian corridor needs to be uninterrupted, need to be predictable. We will need at least 100 trucks a day. If we cannot bring fuel and we have to bring i the water in bottles, we will need much, much more. We are now in a situation where there is a total siege being imposed in the gaza strip. We are in a situation where more |than a Million People have been| asked to be displaced. This amounts to collective l punishment, and collective punishment is a violation of International Humanitarian law. Do you have any sympathy with the israeli perspective that hamas used people, they say, as Human Shields . Israel has gone through a traumatic event. I condemn this horrifici and barbaric massacre. But killing other people, this does not stilljustify that war is conducted without any restraint. The war, he said, has left the middle east on the edge of an abyss. The United Nations has called for a humanitarian cease fire. Jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. For the 2. 2 million residents of gaza, the wait for humaitarian aid goes on. Israel cut electricity, most Water Supplies and stopped deliveries of food and medicine following the attack by hamas on october 7th. Asjon donnison reports, conditions in the territory are dire. A warning, his report contains some distressing details. This morning, a funeralfor fatima. She never knew life. Stillborn, he says, after her mother was killed along with two of her other daughters, aged 10 and 14. They were sleeping peacefully, a relative tells us, when israel bombed a neighbours house in rafah, he says, after the family had fled from the north. The un says there are 50,000 pregnant women in gaza, with more than 5,000 due to give birth over the next month. Medicines are in short supply, and people are being asked to donate blood with the border still closed to foreign aid. Volunteers are cooking on wood fires. Fuel is scarce. Theres food, but its running out. Most getjust one meal a day or sometimes every two days, mahmoud tells us. Nearby, many whove fled their homes are now in makeshift camps. This woman says her daughter, the flower of their household, died when their home collapsed on top of them. Were living in tents, humiliated. We dont have water nor food or anything at all. We fled with the clothes on our backs, she says. The United Nations says more than a million gazans have been displaced, with Hundreds Of Thousands moving to the south. And in the north, you can see why. Jon donnison, bbc news. Just over 200 hostages were taken by hamas, but the identities of more people who were murdered are still emerging. Today, its been confirmed that 12 year old noya dan who Loved Harry Potter was found dead with her grandmother. And father of two, british israeli yonatan rapoport, was also killed in the hamas attack on kibbutz be� eri. He was a man united fan and planned on visiting old trafford next month. Our middle east correspondent lucy williamson, has been to the kibbutz of mir oz, where one family is still waiting for answers to what happened to their loved ones. Her report contains some distressing details. Nir oz, three miles from gazas border, is now a place of silence and noise. Theyre still finding bodies in the communities in fields near here. This woman, pulled out yesterday, naked and bound with metal wire. Recovery teams say more than 20 children were found nearby, tied together and burned. Deaths like this enough to break the living. Hamas gunmen attacked early in nir oz with drills to loot and guns to kill. Survivors say one in four people are dead or missing. Among them, a british man and his stepfather. Danny darlington was born and bred in manchester. A neighbour identified his body, but theres still no confirmation that hes dead. His stepfather lived on the kibbutz. He used to cross regularly into gaza to drive Sick Children to israeli hospitals. Hes just been formally listed as a hostage. They were hiding in this safe room when the militants came in. This door held out against the first group of the militants, but they came back a second time. By that time, she was hiding behind this couch and he decided the door would not hold and he should offer himself up. She was still hiding when a second group burst in, less disciplined, more destructive. The door to the safe room was open. Dark inside, they did not bother to look. Danny was not meant to be in the kibbutz that morning. He stayed on an extra night and sent a text to his half brother as the attack unfolded. Thats the last i heard of him, and now im trying to help the family because the family are saying in manchester they are really in the dark. The family, in limbo, feels out of sync with israels national mood. Revenge is a very strong emotion which a lot of people have now, but now lets talk about revenge because we lost the first act, ok . So before winning the war, lets gather the remains and do whatever we can to get out of this hostage situation. Israel is eyeing the next stage in this conflict, a major offensive in gaza aimed at destroying hamas, while the families of those still missing here stay frozen in the hours after the attack. Lucy williamson, bbc news, nir oz. The continuing trauma for some of the families here. Earlier, we reported on the Prime Ministers visit here. Hes now left israel and is in saudi arabia for talks there. Lets take stock tonight with jeremy bowen. All the World Leaders, they have expressed their support for israel and an offensive looks likely. What form do you think that is going to take . ~. , form do you think that is going to take . ~. , ,. ,. , take . Militarily, they are gathered on the border. Take . Militarily, they are gathered on the border. The take . Militarily, they are gathered on the border. The tanks take . Militarily, they are gathered on the border. The tanks out take . Militarily, they are gatheredl on the border. The tanks out there, the armour is there, the soldiers are there, ive seen them and they have really built it up. Plus, there is a sense of order there which there wasnt in the first week or so when they were really still very, very jumpy when they were really still very, veryjumpy after the when they were really still very, very jumpy after the massacres when they were really still very, veryjumpy after the massacres and everything that had happened. I think that they will go ahead with it, perhaps they need to get the vip visits out of the way, because, first of all, israel is continuing to go through this huge trauma. As more bodies are identified, more stories are known, people talk about everything that happened. So its not like it has faded or gone away or come to terms, far from it, not like it has faded or gone away or come to terms, farfrom it, its as sharp as ever. That is the first thing. Second of all, netanyahu has set some very maximal goals stop one phrase from the defence minister, white hamas off the face of the earth. You dont do that with air strikes. So i think, it may take a few more days, it might even take a week, i think that is still their objective, to send troops in, to destroy hamas, to destroy the leadership. Difficult to know quite where that ends and where it goes afterwards. I dont think anyone really has worked it out. But i still think that even though there have been delays, israel is on course for that military operation. Thank you very much. Jeremy bowen, who will be back with us at 10. 00. A number of World Leaders have, as we have been saying, come to israel in recent days to pledge their support and crucially affirmed the nation� right to defend itself. But all of those Standing Shoulder to shoulder with pledged to fund aid for those Petrified In Gaza by being petrified of whats to come. It does have a right to defend its people but innocent civilians also have a right to life. That is it from us in jerusalem. Now back to sophie in london. Thank you. Hundreds of people are being advised to leave their homes in parts of scotland as storm babet closes in bringing what is being described as exceptional rainfall. The met office has warned that some communities could be cut off for several days by severe flooding. Heavy rain is already sweeping its way through parts of northern and Eastern Scotland and a red Weather Warning has just come into force which means a risk to life. The warning covers aberdeenshire and angus and will stay in place until midday tomorrow. Around 350 residents living in the town of brechin have already been advised to leave their homes. Our correspondent, fiona trott, is in brechin for us this evening. This Flood Defence Wall is the only thing that is separating people from danger or disaster. There is a real concern it could be breached tonight. That is why right now, Angus Council is knocking on peoples does, hundreds of doors in brechin, advising them to leave. In terms of rainfall, the met office say they cannot recall anything like this in scotland since named storms began. The sea sending a signal five hours before the red warning comes into effect. Stonehaven is used to storms, but not like this. I think its way over what it used to be. I dont remember this as much when i was young. I mean, i grew up here and it does seem to be a lot worse, these storms. And it almost every year, every year round about now, you get some big storm. Weve seen some big storms but nothing with the froth like this. Its notjust here in stonehaven where they are protecting their property. Here in brechin, its a race against time for chris. Its bricks and mortar at the end of the day, somebody cant take it off you. A river can take it off you. That can take it away from you. Whats going through your mind knowing this might be happening in the next few hours . Well, this was a retirement project. And imjusta bit. Itsjust not happening, is it . Its not happening. At paul and kims housejust moments later, the official warning comes through. They are instructing people to leave their houses. Im not going. Are you going to . Yeah, oh, aye. Im not. Im not leaving my dog, i i am not doing this again. No way im not going. A tough conversation. And this is just one family in one town. Will they and others heed the advice . We are not going to be able to eliminate the disruption, im afraid there will be significant disruption given the amount of heavy rainfall that is likely to fall. But we want to first of all prioritise peoples welfare and the way people can do that is listen to the advice, particularly in that red warning area and most important thing you can do is listen to the advice about travel. So if you are in the red warning area, do not travel. Is this what they could be facing . Parts of ireland have already been flooded. This is middleton in county cork yesterday. A town completely submerged. Back here in brechin, they are bracing themselves. This road is already turning into a river and the red Weather Warning has onlyjust come into effect. Fiona trott, bbc news, angus. Asylum seekers have begun returning to the barge docked in Portland Harbour in dorset two months after it was evacuated because of fears over a contaminated water supply. The men were taken off the Bibby Stockholm, which has capacity of up to 500, in august after Legionella Bacteria was found. The home office says all necessary tests have now been completed. Jenny kumah reports. Stop it shouting. This has been a divisive issue. These protesters feel the barge is inhumane. When this bus arrived in portland to return the men, they tried to block it. Despite their efforts, around 20 men got back on board this lunchtime. Chanting suella braverman, hear us say, send the prison barge away campaigners worried about their welfare gathered at the port gates. Weve got welcome packs and good wishes for them. We want them to see friendly faces. We want them to be able to come to this community, add to the community what they can and be embraced. The barge is not. A practical solution. Its not humane, we dont believe its safe but its. Also costing a fortune. The government says sites like this barge are more affordable than hotels and better for communities, as health care and catering facilities are on board. How are you feeling about going back to the barge . It feels scary. Its good to be here, not on the barge. The men who were moved off the barge in august have been living in a hotel in devon. I spoke to one of them before he was taken back to the barge today. Accommodation is offered on a no choice basis. He is concerned about what it will be like when the boat reaches its capacity of 500 men. Now we see that there will be 400 or 500 people, very small area and it will be crowded. If there is a single virus, single disease, then you know everyone will be affected. The government says all necessary tests have been completed and the barge is safe. For months, its been empty but more men are due to arrive in coming days. Some question how Cost Effective this place is and ask how much of a difference it can really make when more than 50,000 people are living in hotels, waiting for their asylum claims to be processed. Jenny kumah, bbc news, portland. And if you want to know more about the impact of the Bibby Stockholm on portland theres a documentary called � asylum barge controversy in the community� available on the bbc iplayer. This is cardigan in west wales where untreated sewage has been illegally released into the water there, for many years. Welsh water has now admitted that this has been happening at dozens of Treatment Plants. And the one in cardigan is among the worst with the sewage flowing directly into an environmentally protected area near a rare dolphin habitat. Welsh water only admitted what has been happening after the bbc showed the Company Analysis of its own data, as our environment correspondentjonah fisher reports. So the Sewage Treatment works is over behind us here. Peter hammond is the water industry� s worst nightmare. A mathematician and retired professor, he requests the water companies� data and then analyses it, to find out if they� re doing something wrong. Here in cardigan, in west wales, he obtained flow and spill records from the local Treatment Plant. They showed that in the last five years, it� s been regularly discharging untreated sewage, when it should have been treating it. For more than 1,100 days, it wasn� t treating the sewage. It was actually dumping it out here, when it should have been treating it. Were you shocked by what you found . Totally shocked. This is the worst sewage works i� ve come across, in terms of illegal discharges. Is it that bad . It� s that bad, and i� ve looked at Hundreds Of Sewage Works in detail and thousands in sort of minor detail, and this is. I would say this is the worst
