research than any other country in safety and over the course of the summit we have been working with other countries and companies to make sure we can put those principles into practice. thank you very much. rishi sunak at bletchley park. the practice. thank you very much. rishi sunak at bletchley park.— sunak at bletchley park. the main news to come _ sunak at bletchley park. the main news to come out _ sunak at bletchley park. the main news to come out yesterday - sunak at bletchley park. the main news to come out yesterday was l sunak at bletchley park. the main news to come out yesterday was a joint declaration that was signed by a number of different nation and essentially committing to international cooperation when it comes to ai international cooperation when it comes to aland international cooperation when it comes to ai and safety international cooperation when it comes to aland safety and regulation but also development. what it may look like in practice is still to be worked out that there is at least principle of international collaboration including from countries like china. there had been some criticism by some mps in the uk parliament of inviting china to the summit but they have been one of the people to sign this declaration of cooperation. certainly the prime minister has outlined what he sees as potential benefits of ai but also potential risks such as the potential risks such as the potential to disseminate this information and cyber attacks. we may get more detail today what different nations would like to see going forward. we will have plenty more on the second day of that summit. the is really forces say they have progressed deep into the gaza and the idf say they are at the gates of gaza city. some seven and a half thousand foreign passport holders would be able to leave gaza over the next two weeks and palestinians who have been wounded are expected to take to egypt where they will be treated in a new field hospital. the israeli military says its forces have advanced deep into the gaza strip. the idf said the joint action of ground, sea and airforces had seen troops break through the hamas front lines of defence in gaza's north and were now at the gates of gaza city. the palestinian red crescent says overnight loud explosions and shelling could be heard in the city, including close to al-quds hospital. more people are heading to the rafah crossing with egypt, hoping to leave gaza today following international efforts to open the gates there. gaza border officials said the crossing would continue to operate. some 7,500 foreign passport holders would be able to leave gaza over about two weeks. palestinians who've been injured are also expected to be taken to egypt, where they'll be treated in a new field hospital. our middle east correspondent yolande knell has our first report which contains material you may find upsetting. gazans call at the gateway to the world. finally yesterday, the rafah crossing opened. for the first time in more than three weeks, some foreign citizens were allowed to leave the war zone for egypt, including some britons, though details were not given. many others are still waiting. this is the third time we came to the border and nothing happened. your name is not there. so i have to go back to the school, to the shelter, waiting. at the other end of the gaza strip more israeli strikes. hamas says nearly 200 people were killed here in two days. and across the region the humanitarian crisis deepens. the head of the biggest un agency in gaza entered to see for himself. i was shocked by the fact that everyone there was asking for food, was asking for water. we saw almost every child trying to express that they need to eat, they need to have water. but the war continues relentlessly 2a/7. it is almost four weeks since hamas gunmen stormed the border and killed 1,400 israelies. hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk government. here, the israeli army shows what it says are the weapons used against its citizens on the attacks on the 7th of october. throw these into a room, close the door shut, and it takes the temperature inside a room to 3,000 degrees during that closure. it incinerates everything inside a room, nothing comes out. sirens warning of incoming rockets interrupted the event near tel aviv. when hamas launched its attack a retired israeli general drove down from tel aviv to rescue his son's family. using a rifle from a dead israeli soldier, he fought his way towards their home. this is the biggest failure in the history of the state of israel. it was a military failure. it was an intelligence failure. and it was a failure of the government. with both sides now preparing for a long, difficult war in gaza, those making it out of rafah are the lucky few. most are left to face the fighting, feeling nowhere is safe. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. here's our correspondent rushdi abualouf in khan younis, gaza. not much fighting in khan younis. this is the area where israel ask about one to one, 1.2 million people to come from the north into khan younis. very few air strikes in the eastern part, but the focus of the israeli operation is in gaza city and the north. and we understand that five different battles are going on in the area. the biggest one is north—west of gaza strip, where a realfighting is going on. very few people remain there and communication is very difficult and verifying a lot of information isn't easy. but we managed to talk to a couple of people in gaza city. they said last night was really heavy fighting, heavy air strikes. some of them were around the shifa hospital, some around the al-quds hospital in tel al—hawa. it's the place that israel keep asking the the people inside to to leave. about 111,000 people are taking the hospital as refuge and about 100 patients in that place. the movement, i mean, as i said, very conflicting reports about the movement of israeli troops but we are certain about five different areas israeli troops in the ground is engaging in real fight with the hamas militants who are sending messages saying that they are fighting the israelis, they are using anti—tank missiles and they say there is a real gun battle. but what we understand is air strikes are also continue in central gaza, hitting places like in central gaza. we have to say that today in the morning also, the palestinian health ministry said that the only hospital in the northern gaza is almost out of service. they said 90% of the services in the hospital, including the main power generator to the hospital, close to jabalya refugee camp in the north. they said it's about to go out of service. we hear 195 people have been killed in air strikes on the camp and is real talking about how it has managed to get some —— is real saying it has managed to get israel managing to get some hamas fighters. there were two separate strikes one in the town which is about 20 houses and they were completely collapsed and they were completely collapsed and levelled to the ground. until now the rescue operation is going on there and trying to get some bodies out of the area and the recovered about 120 or 125 people killed and about 120 or 125 people killed and about 75 people injured but they say many people are missing. the hamas local authorities say about 1000 people in the two strikes were killed or injured or missing. the second strike yesterday was smaller, not the same destruction as the first one and it was in the camp. the camp is the biggest refugee camp in the whole of gaza comic strip we are people live in the most crowded area on earth, they call it. it is the most crowded area i have ever seenin the most crowded area i have ever seen in my life and it is in northern gaza where hundreds of thousands people area despite all thatis thousands people area despite all that is really a warning for people to leave. from the israel site. strikes in the so—called safe area and about 40% of those killed were from the southern part of gaza not from the southern part of gaza not from the southern part of gaza not from the focus of the operation. the prime minister says he wants to ensure ai technology delivers in a safe way for future generations. yesterday they had the declaration, talk us through what it was about. it is being called the bletchley declaration, the uk government has called it a ground—breaking move and is an agreement to regulate the most advanced forms of ai and signed by china, the eu and the united states. figures such as elon musk have been talking up the existential threats posed by ai talking up the existential threats posed by aland others in the field two may be focus and think aboutjob disparity and bias that it is important to point out the bletchley declaration is not regulation as such, more an agreement to have an agreement. earlier on this week the american presidentjoe biden signed an order and the eu has its own ai regulation in the works. it is more the start of a journey to get governments to ensure ai develops as safely and responsibly as possible. elon musk we'll be talking to rishi sunak. it depends on who is interviewing who who you ask which way the scores but what you expect from that? elon musk as something of a wild card, so what you will actually see and what he will speak to rishi sunak about in the interview later today is almost anybody�*s guess and i'm sure a lot of people will watch it very keenly. we know that at the summit the main focus will be on international priorities over the next four years, around concrete actions to ensure ai around concrete actions to ensure ai a safe and a lot of input from the likes of open ai and meta, the company known as facebook formally. elon musk has talked about the threats to humanity and also it is about striking the balance with the benefits and we are talking about what could go wrong but also there are extraordinary things ai is doing all the time making huge advancements. rishi sunak was talking and almost apocalyptic terms about how it could be used to make the question of chemical weapons easier or humans could lose control. a lot of sign to say that is an unlikely scenario and we should think about them and consider them but some of the threats are perhaps a little closer to home and happening no such as bias and thinking about how it will affect the world of work are perhaps a little more pressing than some of the bigger issues. ai will affect a wide variety of different aspects of our lives through health care to an appointment and there are a lot of opportunities as well and it can help diagnose different illnesses and also for the identification of new drugs, so it is very difficult to strike the balance between ensuring people see the opportunity as well as allowing these technologies to develop in a safe and responsible way. the bank of england will announce its interest rates decision at midday. millions of homeowners with fixed—rate mortgage deals that have recently ended — or end soon — are now seeing significantly higher monthly repayments, squeezing those household budgets even further. and it's more expensive for people to even get on the housing ladder, as the bbc�*s cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been finding out. this is my monthly dining out. i owe myself money, so i put that in as a reminder. ebony�*s doing all the right things. and then this one's like a total saving goal towards my house buying savings. she and her partner are saving carefully, putting cash into physical wallets and cutting back where she can. any pennies, i've got penny saving challenge. so you should have £5 left at the end of the month, all to have enough to buy a house. i want to get married to get engaged this year, but then just think that's going to wait because that's quite a big expense as it is for one day and the house is more important. with interest rates changing so often, does it feel like the goalposts just keep shifting for you? it feels like the mountains get bigger constantly, like i'm putting in, and then you have to take out because there's more expensive coming in, so you can't put as much in, but itjust feels a bit futile at the moment because you goals get further away. it's all eyes on today's interest rates for anyone on a tracker mortgage or the 1.5 million households due to remortgage in the next six months. but for those trying to rent while saving up for a home, they're facing even more hurdles. i think first—time buyers are bearing the brunt of higher rates. that's as much as anything. it's very, very bad luck in terms of timing. but they all are also carrying the can for not building enough houses, and that's manifesting in higher house prices and that's a really toxic combination. high house prices and high rates. like all lenders, leeds building society have already seen a big drop in loans to first—time buyers compared to last year. the average deposit at the moment is £69,000 for a first—time buyer, and that is tremendously challenging. prices are down 5%, but they would have to fall by 60% to 70% to be as affordable as it was back in the �*80s. but, you know, it'd be nice to have three bedrooms and space to grow. also, managing your expectations is currently about a first—time home on what you can have. whatever is announced today by the bank of england, ebony knows her dream of a place of her own is now further away than she'd hoped. it does seem like a few more years, like 12 months has turned into 18 months turns 2a months later. coletta smith, bbc news in manchester. queen camilla hasjoined a traditional dance with maasai women during a state visit to kenya with king charles. the royal couple also attended a ceremony in nairobi, honouring those who died fighting for britain in the second world war. a lot of interest from canyons and it is about the shared and some preserved culture. this visit has been about recognising what happened in the past, the shared history of this country and the king expressing regret for the atrocities committed under the colonial government but also honouring the porters who supported the great british role in world war ii and today he will be with the marines and this is one area where kenya cooperates very closely with the british navy, training the kenyan navy and we are looking forward to a very colourful day. we will have plenty more on the royal visit to kenya throughout the day. in a career spanning almost three decades, one of the world's best—known and technologically advanced aircraft, concorde, carried everyone from royalty to rocksta rs. now, almost 20 years since one of the remaining planes from the supersonic fleet touched down at bristol's filton airport, its custodians are preparing to mark the anniversary in their own special way. andy howard went to find out more. from the moment she was first wheeled onto the airfield at filton, concorde has drawn crowds and made memories. from those who built her, flew on her, orjust watched her soar overhead. here in the west country, our relationship with this aircraft has been described as a love affair, a 1,350 miles per hour love affair, faster than a bullet, putting the super into supersonic. memories of being in the cockpit as captain are as vivid as the rest. what a life, eh? sitting here brings it all back. it's just a wonderful feeling. i tell you, it's the best place in the world to be. and in november 2003, bristol was the place in the world that thousands wanted to be, when concorde came home for the final time. touching down on that very same runway 35 years on. concorde has landed. you'll notice the angle of the nose on landing. well, today we got a sneak peek of how it will bow again to mark the 20th anniversary. this is going to happen twice on the 26th of november. once at half past 11, and once at seven minutes past one, the exact time this aircraft landed on its finaljourney. and there's an exhibition here, too, asking three big questions. why did concorde retire? what is its legacy? and is there a place for a concorde of the future? the next month, though, is all about memories of the past. everybody seems to have a concorde tale to tell. from john travolta, to frank sinatra, to shirley maclaine, and all the politicians and film stars and sports stars of their day, they were all flying on it, and every flight had somebody on it. and whether you were one of those lucky ones, orjust watched from the ground, people's memories of the people's aircraft are all about to be stirred again. andy howard, bbc news. a major incident has been

iyengar, bbc news. this is coming from members of the public injersey for you can see lots and lots of debris strewn around, picked up by the wind and thrown around in all sorts of trees across the road, uprooted trees, really bleak pictures. we know jersey as have been having red weather warnings, the most severe weather warnings, the most severe weather warnings, the most severe weather warning you can get meaning a risk to life and substantial disruption. you can see this big tree lifted out the ground and flown over and a wall that is simply collapsed and bits of wall thrown on top

for the storm that is absolutely having a huge impact across the island where people are very much staying at home and being told not to go out. there are of course weather warnings across the uk. we were talking to the environment agency spokesperson who said there are six flood warnings in place across the uk and hundred and 74 place across the uk and hundred and 7a flood alerts which means flooding is possible in the big issue as it has been raining for such a long time recently so the rain isjust falling on to really wet ground and is having all sorts of issues in terms of driving and there is lots of surface water and flooding on the roads and environment agency was saying if the water gets deeper than one food that is when your car can float so obviously there is no way of knowing when you enter into a deep flood how deep are today's but when it gets above one foot it can float and he also warned that manhole covers can come off in these scenarios so pedestrians should be very careful if they walk into flooded areas even if it looks quite shallow that could be holes you cannot see because manhole covers may have come off in the flooding. i think we can show you some pictures of bournemouth beach there, one of the piers, and i assume that is close to people. a lot of people taking their warnings to stay at home, commuters being told coming into london to work from
