The only potential way to deliver humanitarian aid into gaza. Well have the latest on the aid trying to get into gaza in the next hour. In other developments in the conflict today, israel has confirmed that 212 people are being held hostage in gaza. Defence officials said israeli strikes overnight killed dozens of palestinian fighters, including the deputy chief of hamas rocket forces. Israel has been carrying out intensive aerial bombing of gaza since the hamas Attacks Inside Israel two weeks ago, in which 1,400 people were killed. The Palestinian HealthMinistry Says about 4,700 gazans, mainly civilians, have been killed in the israeli air strikes. Israels military has warned civilians in gaza to keep moving south for their own safety, as it prepares to increase pressure on hamas, which is designated a Terrorist Origanisation by the uk, us and other western governments. The Israeli Defence forces said one of its aircraft also targeted a mosque in the palestinian city ofjenin, in the occupied west bank. Israel says the mosque was used by a hamas cell as a base to plan and execute attacks against civilians. The israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has met soldiers at the israel lebanon border. He reiterated his support for the troops in their fight against the iranian backed hezbollah, a group that like hamas is considered a Terrorist Organisation by the uk, us and others. Mr netanyahu said hezbollah would make the biggest mistake of its life should it start a war with israel. Translation we are having a double battle one here, i at the lebanon Israel Border to make sure hezbollah backs off and the other battle, there in the south to ensure a decisive victory that will crush hamas. If hezbollah decides to enter the war, it will miss the Second Lebanon War. It will make the mistake of its life. We will strike it with a force it cannot even imagine. And the significance for it and the state of lebanon will be devastating. Heres our Diplomatic Correspondent paul adams, with the latest updates from jerusalem. He clarified the confusion around whether fuel was being allowed into gaza. There is a second convoy of aid trucks carrying food, medicine and water and they are currently in the process of being checked, a process that the israelis are adamant should take place to make sure they are not carrying anything else before the trucks are allowed in and allowed to go to you un distribution points. The confusion earlier was that we were looking at pictures that appeared to show fuel trucks on the move, butjust to be absolutely clear about this, the israelis have not allowed any fuel into gaza for more than two weeks now. Those trucks appear to have been carrying existing and rapidly dwindling un stocks within the gaza strip. They are held at a point close to the Rafah Crossing, so i think that is where the confusion came from. To be clear, no fuel is allowed in at all. The head of unrwa is saying that they have just three days� supply left and without it, he says, there will be no humanitarian assistance. Paul, lets talk a little bit about Benjamin Netanyahu addressing troops. Give me a flavour of what he has been saying. Hes outlining a moment of peril on two fronts. On the one hand, the major conflict raging in gaza and expected to get even bigger when he finally takes the decision to send troops in on the ground. And then this escalating, slowly escalating, conflict that has been going on on israels northern border with skirmishes involving the Lebanese Militia Group hezbollah. They been getting worse and worse, those skirmishes. The israelis have been firing back and there have been casualties on both sides. The israelis have taken the step of Evacuating Tens Of Thousands of civilians from towns along the northern border in case hezbollah decides to launch any kind of concerted attack. But what i think what mr netanyahu was doing and he is being backed up by The Americans with their show of force in the eastern mediterranean, is warning hezbollah and warning lebanon in general, if you make the mistake of thinking that you can exploit this moment when our attention is focused on the south and somehowjoin in the war, then you are absolutely going to regret it. He spoke about the Second Lebanon War of 2006 when israel launched a massive bombardment of southern lebanon. It was incredibly costly and set back hezbollah for many years and he is saying that that will be like a dream considering what israel will unleash. It is a war of words to prevent this conflict of escalating further. One of the biggest victims of this conflict between israel and hamas is the children of taza. We know that the children of taza. We know that the palestinian is 2. 3 million and half of those are under the age of 13 and there is a dire, some except i3 and there is a dire, some except it has been described as a catastrophic humanitarian situation on the ground there. Jason you are there give me a flavour of whats happening in gaza. It is dire. We have a situation now where and Million People fled their home and have been displaced. Many have died. Form to have thousand civilians have died. One out of three were a child. 14,000 people were injured. One out of three of them was a child. They are seeking refuge in schools. They dont have access to water, there is no food or electricity or medicine. The situation is dire. We know that children are more vulnerable. We have a situation now where one child is killed every 15 minutes. That number is going to increase surely because weve not been able to verify the number of children who have died. At least 1000 children are buried under rubble right now. What makes children unique in this situation and terms of how the impact of this affects them over other people . Impact of this affects them over other maple . Impact of this affects them over other people . Impact of this affects them over other people . Many are relying on adults, on family other people . Many are relying on adults, on Family Members other people . Many are relying on adults, on Family Members to other people . Many are relying on adults, on Family Members to get| adults, on Family Members to get them to safety, to access food or find water and shelter. Medical supplies. Many children suffered the longer Term Mental Health consequences of cycles of violence. Our research has shown that using levels of anxiety, oppression, withdrawal emmich children are terrified. They do not have hope for the future and that is the worst of all. With every crisis and with the amount of people moving, no food, no water, the potential risks for children are unimaginable. Many children are unimaginable. Many children have lost a caregiver, so they are unaccompanied. The risk of sexual and gender based violence. There is nowhere for them to go, nowhere safe to go. They dont have access to food and water and i mean, time is running out. Time is running out. What is your messaue time is running out. What is your message to time is running out. What is your message to politicians, time is running out. What is your message to politicians, to message to politicians, to authorities on all sides . Shill message to politicians, to authorities on all sides . All sides, the riahts authorities on all sides . All sides, the rights of authorities on all sides . All sides, the rights of children, authorities on all sides . All sides, the rights of children, this authorities on all sides . All sides, the rights of children, this is the rights of children, this is including the right to be safe, to be protected, to get assistance when necessary, it has to be protected. This is not been met. These are rights and obligations that all sides have to comply to. These are not things that Member States can do when its convenient or when they want to. They applied to every single child else of the time. All of the time. We need to make sure that aid gets into gaza. We need a cease fire because only then can we stop the cycle of violence. We need to find these children, we need to deliver the assistance and the conditions on the ground must allow us to do so. It is impossible for civilians to find safety when there is air strikes and shelling and impossible for umana terris to find children and deliver assistance when there is active fighting. Jason leitch from when there is active fighting. Jason leitch from save when there is active fighting. Jason leitch from save the when there is active fighting. Jason leitch from save the children, thank you for taking the time to talk to us. We rely very much on afp and reuters to give us information about whats happening on the ground. The afp said earlier it spoke to someone from unrwa and they were told that there had been fuel taken into gaza today as part of those lorries that we talked about at the Rafah Crossing. A little early, we spoke to a spokesperson from unrwa and she confirmed to me that actually no fuel had crossed Rafah Crossing. Have a listen. I would like to confirm that no fuel has gone into gaza today or yesterday or over the last two weeks. There was a confusion over pictures, footage, of these trucks, but they are trucks that are on the egyptian side getting ready to cross and being inspected and there are trucks that are already inside gaza, close to the border. There has been no crossover and definitely no crossover of fuel. At this location, unrwa is really stepping up its call to enable fuel to go into gaza because without it, it will not be possible for us, the Largest Humanitarian Agency in the gaza strip, to work after a couple of days from today. Just explain to people what the fuel is used for. It is notjust to put into cars, it is used in hospitals, Desalination Plants and you as well. Give a clear explanation of why fuel is so important to gaza. Fuel is extremely important, for the trucks that carried the food, water, medicines, blankets and everything around gaza. For the trucks. Fuel is also important for generators that generate electricity. It is even more important to generate electricity in hospitals for all the Life Support Equipment and machines to be able to function. And fuel is important for generators that generate electricity for the water Desalination Plants, without which, everybody in gaza does not have access to clean Drinking Water. If there is no fuel, there is no humanitarian aid. There is no Drinking Water or life support in hospitals. Lets talk about what is able to enter gaza because we saw the trucks moving in yesterday from egypt through the Rafah Crossing. We are hearing about 17 going in today. That is what we are hearing as well, but they are still undergoing verification. I want to give some context. Gaza has been under blockade for 17 years which severely affected its economy. 60 of the inhabitants are already dependent on food aid before this crisis. Before october 7th, gaza seemed around 100 trucks full of food and fuel assistance. Gaza received. While we are all extremely happy that 20 trucks went in yesterday after two weeks of a full siege, just for context, 2o versus 100 before this war. We are going to need much, much more aid if we want to respond to a humanitarian crisis of this scale and scope of what we are witnessing in gaza today. That was a spokesperson from unrwa which does a lot of Work Inside Gaza for people in need. Our gaza correspondent, rushdi abu alouf, reports from inside one of the aid camps in southern gaza. He sent us this report. About 2,000 families living in these tents. They are people displaced from the north, in gaza. This is, a camp has been built by the unrwa. I was speaking to the families here. They said they are struggling to find water. They are struggling to find food. They are struggling to find a bathroom. They said the bathroom here is a real challenge. They said security, also, is a real challenge because as you know, hamas has been under really heavy attack by israel for the last two weeks or so, so there is no police around the area to maintain law and order, a few problems here, social problems in the area. But those people, they said, we have been given very little food, very little water, very Little Medicine to the people who are in need for this. This is an example of how 700,000 people who are displaced from the north are living in a very difficult condition in gaza city. The unrwa is planning to have more and more camps like this, once the egyptians are allowing more tents, more food, more fuel and more medicine. That is the latest on the humanitarian situation within gaza. What about the Israeli Ministry and its moves in its own words to destroy hamas . Weve heard over the last 2a hours that they have intensified the bombing of gaza. A little earlier, the Israel Defence force spokesperson updated us on the military campaign. He spoke to my colleague katya adler. The people of gaza are paying for the failed leadership of hamas. They have failed the people of gaza. Our responsibility, primarily, is to ensure and secure the people of israel once more. We cant live in a situation where we are afraid that somebody will come over into our bedrooms and butcher our babies. That is unacceptable and it wont happen. Unfortunately, unfortunately, we need to try and be persistent that hamas can never have this, wield this sword of death against our heads. We know what will happen if we do not destroy and dismantle hamas. Were not willing to raise a white flag to terrorism. We cant bow our heads to these Terrorist Organisations because, if we do, they will chop it off. If we have a look at international law, while there is a right to defend yourself, there is also obligations to respect the rules of law, taking care of the civilian population. You say that youre listening to the united nations. They are calling for a humanitarian ceasefire. They are saying that the Gaza Civilians are suffering disproportionately, as aid agencies talk about collective punishment, which is illegal under international law. So would there be a humanitarian corridor, at least, that israel could guarantee for the civilians that it has sent from other parts of gaza to the south . Weve sent people from the north of gaza to the south of gaza to exactly differentiate them between them and the terrorists, to get them out of harms way. And indeed, the south of gaza is safer than the north of gaza precisely because of our operations. And i would say that we need to keep in mind that what we operate and our. We operate on the basis of the laws of armed conflict, and we are operating within that, within that realm. That was the Israeli Defence force spokesperson. As we were watching the interview, we saw the enormous blast hitting the horizon on that picture. You can see the live picture. You can see the live picture that we are getting of gaza. We have that shot pretty much all the time to keep an eye on what is happening. You can see the smoke from the big explosion not too long ago. As i was explaining, the Military Spokesperson said that the intensifying air strikes of gaza would allow israel to minimise the risks to their own forces in the next stages of the war, which we expect to be some sort of ground invasion. It is unclear when or how this is going to happen. All we know is that it will at some point happen for the Israeli Defence forces to move in in terms of a ground incursion. We are going to leave gaza and israel and bring you some other news. Here in the uk, about 500 homes in the nottinghamshire town of retford are being evacuated because of flooding caused by storm babet. The County Council has declared a Major Incident and urged everyone to leave. The river idle has reached Record Levels and they are still rising threatening the town. The Environment Agency says flooding from the storm, which has caused widespread damage in scotland and the north east of england, could last until wednesday. Our correspondent andy gill updated us on the situation in retford. Can see some of the floodwater behind me and the police have closed this road off to stop people from coming through. 500 homes are potentially affected by this severe Flood Warning. A severe Flood Warning is the most serious you can get. It means there is a threat to life, a risk to injury. The problem is flooding on the river idle in this part of nottinghamshire and the communities potentially affected are retford itself eton, gaston, 0rdsall and west retford. Now, even though theres no significant rainfall expected now. The Authorities Say that the water levels are still rising and they could reach Record Levels.

Football fans have been continuing to gather at Manchester Uniteds stadium to Remember Club Legend sir bobby charlton, who died on saturday at the age of 86. A book of condolence has been opened at old trafford with a digital version also created. A world and european champion, sir bobby was diagnosed with dementia three years ago. His 106 caps and 49 goals for england were records at the time. And during his career at united, he won three league titles, the european cup and the fa cup. When the club decided that for all hed done for manchester united, it was to name the south stand after him. And it was before the everton game at old trafford, and we had a lunch, and i had tojust be there and be with him as well, as one of our great players not only for united, but for Manchester City as well. And we were on our own and i saw a tear in his eye, and i said, are you 0k . And this was bobby being really humble. And hejust said, oh, i dont deserve this. I said, bob, you deserve everything that comes your way for what youve done for this club, for your country and the world in football generally. And if youve seen any of the footage when he goes onto the pitch with his lovely wife norma, the tears were still in his eyes, because thats the kind of man he was. One match to come in the Premier League as aston villa host west ham. It will kick off in about five minutes. It will kick off in about five minutes. Villa have won their last ten home league games, a run that stretches back to last season when new manager unai emery took over. West ham boss david moyes is full of admiration for the work the spaniard has done at villa park. Hes someone whos won incredible trophies, mainly the european trophies. He looks like hes doing a great job at aston villa, hes got them playing well. Good design and good players. The recruitment of players looks like its very good and very solid. Real madrid Footballer Viniciuer has praised sevilla for acting swiftly to eject and report a fan to authorities for allegedly racially abusing him. The alleged incident took place in real madrids 1 1 draw at the Ramon Sanchez pizjuan stadium on saturday evening. Posting on x, formerly twitter, after the game, vinicius said. There is more reaction to that story on the bbc sports website. That is all for now. Thank you very much. I will be back in a few moments with more news here on the bbc. Dont go anywhere. Hello. Well, the sun is back out again. But, of course, weve had a huge amount of rainfall in the last few days. Lets take a look at these figures. And in eastern scotland, it looks as though in excess of 200 millimetres of rain injust that one storm. Wakefield there, 144 millimetres. The South Of England also had a lot of rainfall. And just because the sun is out, it doesnt necessarily mean that the threat is completely over. You may want to check the Environment Agency website, sepa, as well in scotland to see what those river levels are doing. Because sometimes, there is quite a delay from the moment when it starts raining to when the peak of the flood waters arrive. But in terms of the weather, at least, its quiet across most of the uk today. 12 degrees in newcastle, around 15 in london, about the average for the time of the year. And weve got quite a chilly evening on the way, with clear skies and light winds. There might be even A Touch Of Frost at least early in the night across parts of northern britain. You can see barely above freezing there at 5am in aberdeen. But much milder in the south west of the country, around 13 in plymouth. Thats because we have a south westerly wind. A Weather Front is approaching. Therell be some rain around tomorrow i think in the very far south west of the uk. But i think the bulk of the country on monday, again, another decent day, with bright or sunny skies. However, rain is threatening to reach the south later on monday and into tuesday. This next Weather Front sweeps in from the south. So i think more wet weather to come at least across some parts of the country. So, yes, were in a sort of spell of drier weather now, but more rain is forecast. Its not going to be anywhere near as widespread and persistent at least, not until tuesday or wednesday. Later on wednesday, it does look as though the weather is going to go downhill once again, as another very large area of low pressure sweeps in off the atlantic. And i think its initially western parts of the uk that get the rain early on wednesday. Here it is, the next Weather Front. Heavy rain for south western england, for wales, Northern Ireland too. And then later on wednesday, that Weather Front will progress towards the north and the east of the country, and with that, some very strong winds. So the outlook overall is looking unsettled. No two days are going to be the same. Temperatures will be around average. And if you look at these weather icons, i think at least rain showers most days for most of us.
