cross—border fire into in the west bank yesterday, cross—borderfire into lebanon in the past few days and growing fears that yemen could be being pulled into this conflict as our international editorjeremy bowen reports. more palestinians left their homes — moving along salah al—din street, the road to southern gaza, after israel said they would not be attacked if they left the battle zone to the north. pauses in israeli combat operations were welcomed by the americans. all this raises the ghosts of 1948 for palestinians, when more than 700,000 of them fled or were expelled byjewish troops as israel won its independence. israel never allowed them home. two of the gaza hostages were in new videos. hanna katsir blamed benjamin netanyahu, israel's prime minister, for their plight. so did yagil yaakov, who's 13. hostage videos are usually made under duress, so the bbc is not broadcasting them. and across the west bank, the other side of the occupied territories, more palestinians were killed as armed groups fought israeli raids. the gaza war is igniting the west bank. the israeli army's reprisals included the destruction of roads and infrastructure. existing tension and hatred have been deepened. the danger remains of the war spreading across the middle east. in yemen, the houthi regime, an ally of iran, posted more videos of attacks on israel with missiles and drones. so far, they've all been intercepted by american and israeli air defence systems. muhammed ali al—houthi, a senior man in the regime, gave the bbc an interview from yemen's capital, sana'a. he said islam legitimized attacks on israel, which he called "the entity". do you think the war here in gaza and israel can spread elsewhere in the region? translation: if the americans and the british and the french l continue backing this entity, or to participate in the war alongside this entity, this would be a normal response and result of the american and european attacks and movements. there are people who say that you're attacking israel because iran told you to. translation: we in yemen en'oy freedom and democracy more b than the british people are given these days, jeremy. the british people these days are unable to express themselves freely. the secretary of state, ie home secretary, is calling to stop all demonstrations that back palestine. where is the freedom and the democracy that you enjoy in britain? not a straight answer. they were digging through the ruins in khan younis, part of the area of gaza israel has ordered civilians to get to. what is certain is the dispossession and loss suffered by palestinians caught up in israel's war to crush hamas. they might have dreams of home. many already know that israel has turned their homes to rubble. jeremy bowen, bbc news, southern israel. let's see what is happening on the ground in gaza. 0ur gaza correspondent rushdi abu—aloufjoins me live now. thank you for being back with us. tell us what you are hearing is happening around al shifa hospital and those attacks by the israeli military in the north. two ma'or developments d military in the north. two ma'or developments in d military in the north. two ma'or developments in the i military in the north. two ma'or developments in the last i military in the north. two major developments in the last half i military in the north. two major| developments in the last half an hour, mark, the tanks are now advancing, they are in the heart of one of the hubs were everything in gaza including the banks, telecommunication company, the plc, palestinian legislative council, and all of the important buildings and institutions are in this neighbourhood, the middle of this road, they are advancing from where the al shifa hospital is, east, and they are almost close to gaza city centre. the second we had from a source inside the al quds hospital, the first communication to the bbc from inside the hospital, soldiers are not inside a hospital but thanks around the hospital, there is fighting around the hospital. we managed to get over radio to one of the ambulance drivers here in khan younis and he says the situation is very serious, communication is cut, so now the tanks are advancing to the gaza city centre which is quite significant, and this street is close to the bbc office, every day in the morning i used to drive to my job from backstreet. it is the economic hub for most of the important companies, telecommunication company, the central bank, the bank of palestine, is in the middle of this neighbourhood and now it is all fallen under israeli control. we have heard _ fallen under israeli control. we have heard from the medical chief at al shifa hospital saying that they will not evacuate the hospital. they want to continue to be operational, to care for the patients. what is your sense, your assessment, of the extent of israeli military control across gaza. extent of israeli military control across gaza-— extent of israeli military control across gaza. they are entirely in control of _ across gaza. they are entirely in control of the _ across gaza. they are entirely in control of the shifa _ across gaza. they are entirely in control of the shifa area. - across gaza. they are entirely in control of the shifa area. still. control of the shifa area. still there is room to escape, there was a guy who was in al shifa hospital last night. he made thisjourney, he walked about 56 kilometres and he made it here to khan younis. he told me last night there was a lot of civilians inside the hospital, around the hospital and he said that he saw thanks very close to the hospital. what you have to understand is that in the last 20 years or so, many people take the hospital as shelter so thousands of people were taking the courtyard the car park, any space in the hospital was like a shelter for those who are displaced from their homes, and in addition to that, the al shifa hospital is the largest medical centre in gaza so i presume hundreds of people are treated in the buildings inside the hospital, so moving the patient is risky for the people, for the doctors in the hospital. it is going to be a very complicated situation but, for now, we still have contact inside the hospital, no thanks, no soldiers inside the hospital but they are surrounded at that place. reports that there could _ surrounded at that place. reports that there could be _ surrounded at that place. reports that there could be up _ surrounded at that place. reports that there could be up to - surrounded at that place. reports that there could be up to 60,000 people sheltering in the courtyard of the hospital. we have been watching those videos of the strikes this morning which are far too graphic to show but it looks like an horrific situation. can you tell us about the humanitarian situation where you are? with tens of thousands more people evacuating south, is there enough food in the south, enough water in the south, for the new arrivals coming in everyday now the north? news space even in this hospital. _ everyday now the north? news space even in this hospital. nurse _ everyday now the north? news space even in this hospital. nurse at - everyday now the north? news space even in this hospital. nurse at all- even in this hospital. nurse at all —— no space. you can find tense and people sleeping on the grounds, people sleeping on the grounds, people begging for food and water, the number of people displaced from the number of people displaced from the north and come to the south is unbelievable, and for this city, which already which is overwhelmed by people who came from the eastern side of khan younis near the border since day one of this war, and now this tiny city has to accommodate and feed and this hospital has to treat over half of the population who are now in this city and the problem is that more and more people are arriving every day, so i can see people on top of each other, in one house you can find, like 100 person in a two bedroomed house. i saw images of people, like, you know, 50 people in one tent and the situation is really bad. people here when we talk to them they say, we just need food and water. they want egypt to reopen the humanitarian corridor and to allow hundreds of trucks to reach the people here. the situation here is bad but not as bad as for those who remain in gaza city and the north. we believe about you people and maybe more are now in the eastern side of the city and they haven't received any sort of aid, any sort of food or water or medicine, they have allowed from egypt about 500—600 trucks for all, so they must have been exhausted, they must have been waiting and waiting in a very long queue to get bread and water. and then they have to make this 5—6 kilometre journey, this walk under the sun to flee the fighting. very serious situation, very complicated issue in gaza city, and we have to understand that verifying information is always hard forjournalists, because most communication is down, there. thank ou, from communication is down, there. thank you, from southern _ communication is down, there. thank you, from southern gaza, _ communication is down, there. thank you, from southern gaza, thoughts and best wishes to you and your family as you try to stay safe. we understand that the israeli military control in gaza is the largest and most extensive since 1967 when israel seized control of gaza and all of those images of the tens of thousands fleeing the north of gaza will awaken the ghosts of 1948 of gaza will awaken the ghosts of 19118 when the state of israel was created, and 700,000 palestinians were either forced from their homes or they fled their homes. such historical echoes in gaza. that is from the past but in the present we have the continued offensive and in the last few minutes we have seen increased air strikes over gaza city as the israelis push on with their offensive into the heart of gaza. we will continue to give you all of the latest developments from israel, gaza and the wider region but for now i will hand you back to frankie in london. more from our correspondence mark lowen throughout the day so stay with us on bbc news. since the start of the war, people inside gaza have been documenting their lives for our colleagues in bbc news arabic. khalid was living injabalia, caring for his young cousins. and english teacher farida is from gaza city. they've been keeping their gaza diaries and their story begins two days after hamas launched its attacks in israel, killing 11100 people and taking more than 200 hostage. where can we go? 0n the ninth of october israeli fighterjets carry out a deadly air strike onjabalia, north of gaza city. israel says that it's targeting hamas infrastructure. translation: as i'm speaking to you now, air strikes. - a number of houses were targeted, as i speak to you. i'm sorry i won't be able to speak for long because of the massacre. israeli planes bombed a number of buildings. some are still under the rubble. most of them are women and children. khalid stays in north gaza. he's now caring for his young cousins. on 13th october, the israel defence forces warn 1.1 million people in north gaza to move to the south. i am located at the centre of gaza. more than three of my neighbours' homes are destroyed from israeli bombs this morning, and all my neighbours and families are evacuating from their homes, and we don't know, where can we go? 14th october. farida leaves gaza city and travels south, sending voice notes to us during the journey. several of my friends locally are now missing, possibly dead, i don't know. i'm so devastated. i really don't know where can we go. 20th october. as air strikes also continue in the south of gaza, thousands return to the north. farida is among them. we therefore decided tojust return home again, and to at least keep our dignity. 25th october, khalid and his family are running out of food. translation: we'll take the worms out and it. - no, not now. 27th october — farida's situation deteriorates. i lost my friend. also my brother was injured and all my home was destroying. the grief eats my heart. we are not ok. we are not ok, we totally broken. the bbc lost contact with khalid following an air strike onjabalia refugee camp on 31st october. farida is still in touch with us. tonight, she says she's still at home in gaza city. she says she's trapped and very afraid, as they are surrounded by the idf. the situation now in gaza is totally dire. now there is no flour, no food, no electricity, no things just to live a normal life. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. he caron he car on the edge of bath, rescued with £4 million of heritage lottery money. new in the ground is a stone grotto has been exploited. the team have removed almost 100 tonnes of soil to reveal it. have removed almost 100 tonnes of soilto reveal it.— soil to reveal it. most people will not know that _ soil to reveal it. most people will not know that this _ soil to reveal it. most people will not know that this is _ soil to reveal it. most people will not know that this is here. - soil to reveal it. most people will not know that this is here. they l not know that this is here. they will be able to discover this and visit it when the tower reopens in the spring and they will be able to come down and see this amazing arch above us. it is so beautifully built. it is a perfect arch with bath stone on the side of it. loath?

he was a very private man. he did not like - private man. he did not like interacting with the public so he built up to the tower by going under the road, following this panel. he just kept away from the —— panel. he kept away from the general public. in august, the most deadly wildfire in modern us history tore through the town of lahaina, on the hawaiian island of maui. 0ur reporterjames clayton has been investigating why it was so hard to escape the town. lahaina was the gem of maui in hawaii. it's been near totally destroyed. it's unfathomable, the reality of lahaina burning. oh, my god. they crossed. u'i was one of many residents who tried to escape from lahaina that day. she managed to get some of her neighbours into her car, but when they set off, the traffic was gridlocked. and i'm thinking to myself, "my god, we're not moving fast enough, we've got to get out of here, there's people back there." you know? and just... how many cars behind you? hundreds. many people had to abandon their cars and enter the sea to survive. both sides to the left and the right are on fire. the bbc has obtained police bodycam footage that shows that even officers were exasperated with the traffic jams. why are the cars not moving? there's stopped traffic on both sides of the highway. but why was the traffic so bad? we already knew that an emergency siren had not been activated, but a bbc investigation has found other mistakes on the ground that contributed to the chaos. the police blocked some roads because they believed downed power lines were energised. we want to make sure that you didn't go over a downed live power line. but hawaiian electric has told the bbc that it told the police several times during the day that the power lines weren't energised. this is one recording of such a conversation given to the bbc by hawaiian electric. hi, police department — fire is asking if you guys can shut down all of the electric off of lahainaluna, above and below the bypass. it's off right now. it's all off? yeah. 0k. thank you. 0k, bye. the police, however, told the bbc that the company did not give clear and definitive confirmation that the lines were de—energised. the result was police treating fallen lines as live and blocking roads. 0ne witness, travis miller, showed the bbc his footage. he filmed the main road going north out of the town, blocked for hours by the police. i knew, like, once i saw the roadblock, this is insane. people lost their lives that wouldn't have lost their lives. maui's mayor, richard bissen, concedes the town should have been better prepared. you know, better preparation. right? — i mean, that's what everybody is pointing to. and who should take responsibility for that? we all should take responsibility. all of us, for sure. u'i and the neighbours she took in her car survived. some of her neighbours, though, weren't so lucky. some people are, "you're a hero for saving them. they would have been dead." and i'm like, "i'm nota hero — do you know how many people i passed, evidently — that i didn't know about, that i didn't check on?" so many things that should have happened that didn't happen. james clayton reporting. stay with us on bbc news. the production company owned by hollywood actor robert de niro has been ordered to pay a former employee more than $1.2 million in damages. a court in new york found that �*canal productions' engaged in gender discrimination and retaliation against de niro's long—time personal assistant, graham chase robinson. de niro himself was not found to be personally liable of abusing ms robinson — and denied the allegations. kj matthews — a freelance entertainment reporter — gave her us reaction to the verdict. what's interesting is, i think people are getting lost in translation — she wasn't fired, she quit robert de niro's production company. and then he filed suit first. after he filed suit, then she filed suit. so her verdict is coming before his. but, yes, it is some sort of reputational damage. they did not find him personally liable, but they said his company, canal productions, was liable for the gender discrimination. so, yes, i think people forgot these different trials were going on, because they've been going back and forth for a number of years. but it is a surprising verdict with her walking away with $1.2 million, ruled against him, for him to pay her in two payments. it appears to me that perhaps the jury found that there was some truth to what she was saying. remember, she did initially request, i think, around $12 million. so she actually requested more than $1.2 million, but was only awarded $1.2 million. but both sides actually made accusations. she said during the trial that there were many times that she was asked to do stuff that she shouldn't be doing. she said at one point that he asked her to scratch his back and she said, "why can't you just use a back scratcher?" he said, "because i want you to do it". 0n the other side, you had robert de niro testifying and his girlfriend, who is a mother of his youngest child, six—month—old baby, basically saying that they bumped up her income from $100,000 to $300,000 and that she misappropriated funds and used thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars of frequent flyer miles that weren't hers, and that she had aspired to do more and go further than what her position was. so both sides were making allegations at one another. and at one point, i'm told that robert de niro actually raised his voice and kind of screamed when he was on the stand testifying. so it's been quite a tense situation, testifying all week long. and finally, we have this verdict today. kj matthews. hollywood is celebrating the end of the longest actors charlotte gallagher, reports from the red carpet. let me ask you one final time, what are the hunger games for? after a break of more than eight years, the hunger games is back. and it remains a dangerous dystopian world where the elite force children to fight each other in an arena. one final assignment to prove your worth... it is set decades before the first films, telling the origin story of one of the main villains and his descent into darkness. but it was all smiles on the red carpet when the cast and crew attended the world premiere in london. celebrating notjust their film but the end of the actors' strike which shut down the industry for months. and it's the first big premiere since the actors' strike finished, and one of the stars is behind me, tom blyth, a british actor in his first blockbuster role. how are you feeling as the lead actor at the world premiere in london? yeah, when you put it like that, it makes me nervous! honestly, really glad we have the world premiere in england, grateful to share it with my friends and family, and really proud of what we've made, it's a really good film and i hope people enjoy it. dedicated fans queued from six o'clock in the morning to get onto the red carpet. many clutching copies of the book. something actress rachel zegler can relate to. as a fan myself, i really wanted to do a good service to me and my 12—year—old self that loved these films, because that is who these fans really are. it was such a joy to do that and i had amazing collaborators to help me along the way. i volunteer as tribute... the first hunger games films propelled jennifer lawrence to superstardom. this has a new cast but the same director. it really is truly like a stand—alone film. the hope is to get new fans in, people who don't know the other books and movies, they can come in fresh and have this great experience. for the fans, i think what they will love is it's a movie about origins, the origin of a young snow, and the origin of the games, the songs we know, of the names and relationships and dynamics. i think it is so wildly satisfying for fans of the franchise. the previous films have been lapped up by teenage and young adult audiences. the themes of human nature, power and war resonating with many. film—makers will be hoping the ballad of song and snakes can repeat the success. —— songbirds and snakes. the headlines are coming up. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there. plenty of dry weather to come as we go through the next couple of days and there will be some sunshine, including today, sunny spells for many, watch out for showers in places. feeling a little chillier. the coldest night of the autumn so far in parts of scotland, freezing fog in the north, but further south, heavy thundery showers this morning from wales across southern england, coastal gales in the south—west, the winds are now lighter. this afternoon, there could still be showers lingering in kent, some cloud here. 0therwise sunshine developing. blustery showers, sunny spells for northern ireland, rain moving into the far north of scotland by the end of the day, some could be wintry perhaps on the tops of hills. top on the tops of hills. temperatures between seven : 12 top temperatures between seven and 12 celsius. this evening and overnight, the low pressure moves east, we're between weather systems, the winds will be light, some frost forming particularly in the east. temperatures here could drop a little below freezing, mist and fog as well that could be slow to clear. for most, lots of blue sky and sunshine for armistice day, showers running down the north sea coasts. turning cloudier in the south—west, windy here, eventually wet by the end of the day with the next weather front running northwards and eastwards through remembrance sunday. more moisture in the air on sunday morning — many could wake up to scenes like this with mist and fog around. once again slow to lift and clear. another frost, particularly in the east. a bit sharper than on saturday. the rain moves across wales into the far north of england, patchy rain perhaps in london for the service at the cenotaph in the late morning. many places, particularly scotland and north—east england, could stay largely dry until the very end of the day perhaps, but issues with mist and fog. in summary, mostly dry on saturday, rain for some on sunday, particularly in the south and west, but again low pressure system clears east, could develop a wave, so some heavier rain and stronger gustier winds on monday and tuesday. lots of unsettled weather across our capital cities through the start of the new week. goodbye for now. live from southern israel, this is bbc news. an explosion is heard outside gaza's largest hospital, al—shifa. the hamas—run health ministry says there have been israeli air strikes on or close to hospitals. the us welcomes israel's agreement for daily military pauses, allowing civilians to leave northern gaza along two humanitarian corridors. i'm frankie mccamley in london. also in the programme... there are growing calls for the uk prime minister to sack his home secretary who accused police of bias over pro—palestinian marches. and surgeons in new york perform the world's first complete human eye transplant. welcome to bbc news. three kilometres from gaza where israeli forces are pushing further into gaza city, the largest hospital in gaza, al—shifa hospital, appears to have been the target of an attack on friday morning with our correspondent on the ground in gaza saying al—shifa hospital is being surrounded on four axes and reporting israeli forces are around 250 metres away from al—shifa hospital where the israeli forces claim hamas is
