the armed forces on remembrance sunday in a service at the cenotaph in london. hello, i'm rich preston. welcome to the programme, good to have you with us. hamas says 13 people were killed when a house was hit near khan younis in the south of gaza. the incident was witnessed by our correspondent rushdi abualouf. he was buying supplies for his children in the village of bani suhaila when four bombs fell around him in quick succession. he sent these pictures, and says a block of around 10 houses had been destroyed. rushdi also told us he saw four dead bodies and more than 100 injured people. the world health organization says it has lost contact with gaza's main hospital, the al—shifa. israel's military says it's agreed agreed to evacuate babies in need of oxygen from that hospital and two others. officials at al—shifa say two newborns died as a result of the hospital running out of power, with heavy fighting on the streets outside. this photo was sent to the bbc last night — showing more than 20 babies being kept in a surgical theatre instead of incubators, despite being reportedly in need of oxygen treatment. 0ur correspondent nick beake is injerusalem. the chaos after this morning's strike near the city of khan younis. this is in the south of gaza, where israel had instructed families to go for their own safety. at least 13 palestinians are said to have been killed here. israel says it does not target civilians. children were among the injured. treated in the already packed corridors and rooms. 0utside, one woman, samira, explained that she managed to flee from another hospital, al—shifa, in the north. "i thought hospitals were safe", she says, "but they're not. "hospitals are being bombed." israeli forces have denied they have been firing on al—shifa hospital, gaza's biggest hospital. there is fierce fighting in the area. israel claims hamas fighters have built a base underground here, which will be destroyed. the bbc received this photograph taken inside the hospital, which doctors said showed new—born babies who were in desperate need of oxygen. their neonatal unit is said to have lost power and medics report already two babies have died. speaking to the bbc, israel's president accused hamas of spreading lies about what was really happening at the hospital. that is not true, by the way, it is not true. we deny this at all. there is a lot of spin by hamas, there is a lot of spin by hamas, but there is electricity in shifa, everything is operating. we have spoken to the managers. we haven't gone in to shifa. we have... unfortunately, underneath shifa is a huge terror base. actually, the headquarters. at a smaller hospital nearby, the lights go out as the power fails. according to the palestine red crescent, the al-quds hospital is now no longer operational. aid agencies are calling for an immediate ceasefire. israel says its operation will go on until hamas is destroyed. parts of gaza now resemble a wasteland. but in the midst of all this death and destruction in the north, there are still thought to be hundreds of thousands of civilians. nick beake, bbc news, jerusalem. live now to dr samuel ramani, associate fellow at defence lets go live to our correspondent, paul adams injerusalem. what is the latest your

spoke about an hour ago, i'm afraid i have to disappoint you. the situation remains very, very hard to interpret. the israelis say they are not attacking hospitals, people in the hospitals and around hospitals feel they are under attack. and around hospitals feel they are underattack. it and around hospitals feel they are under attack. it is not surprising, when it is clear there is fighting going on literally on the street outside. as for the conditions inside the hospital, what are we to make of the images is mike why would those babies not in incubators? are those babies not in incubators? are those in kuwait is not working? are the babies that were being prepared for evacuation by the israelis, as they said last night? wejust for evacuation by the israelis, as they said last night? we just don't know. we have heard no more about the fate of those infants, and no more from the israelis about whether or not there is a plan to evacuate them. there is an absolute fog of this descending over the whole issue of hospitals in gaza, and i suspect that that fog is going to linger for quite some time until we reach a point where are finally evacuated, and in the case of the largest, al—shifa, that is a monumental, and perhaps impossible task. al-shifa, that is a monumental, and perhaps impossible task. meanwhile, israel sa s perhaps impossible task. meanwhile, israel says it —

militia in lebanon, and is really forces. israeli politicians haveissued really forces. israeli politicians have issued a series of dire warnings about what might happen in lebanon to hezbollah. specifically there was a warning to beirut should hezbollah choose to open a new front in the north. at the moment, it looks sort of contained. a un peace keeper was shot in egypt in some of the

rising toll and palestinian lives lost is something thatis palestinian lives lost is something that is deeply troubling to israel's allies. you will remember that weeks agojoe biden came here and said, don't act out of blind rage, don't make the mistakes we made after 9/11, and the longer this goes on, and the more we see scenes of destruction and death, the more those calls for restraint will start to become urgent. at the moment, they arejust faint to become urgent. at the moment, they are just faint traces of that, but i think they will become louder as the days go by. paul but i think

from paris, which comes following a steep rise of anti—semitic incidents. a bbc correspondent in france is the demonstration will include the far right but not the far left. the protest includes the far right national rally of marine le pen, whose father was convicted of downplaying the holocaust. the leader of the hard left party is boycotting the event, calling it a gathering of unconditional support for the massacre of palestinians. those pictures coming to you live from paris is that anti—semitism march goes on. a uk government minister has insisted that it a uk government minister has insisted that it was "perfectly proper" for the home secretary, suella braverman, to engage in a debate about the policing of protests, ahead of yesterday's pro palestinian march in london. 126 people were arrested, most of them far—right cou nter— protestors. scotland yard said the "intense" political row about policing had fuelled community tensions and labour has said suella braverman should not continue as home secretary. our political correspondent tony bonsignore reports. yesterday's violent scenes in london, violence blamed in large part by the police on far right counter protesters to a pro—palestinian march, has cast a shadow on what is normally a weekend of solemn remembrance. in particular, there are accusations that suella braverman helped fuel that violence when she described demonstrations as hate marches and when she claimed that police were biased by largely ignoring what she called pro—palestinian mobs. opponents believe the home secretary is in large part responsible for what they think would have been a largely peaceful event. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, accused her of sowing the seeds of hatred and distrust. today, though, a senior cabinet colleague of suella braverman rejected that claim, though, like others, he wouldn't repeat her language. the police, i think quite rightly, refer to the advice largely around refer to the debate largely around whether this weekend was an appropriate weekend to protest... which was stirred up by your colleague, suella braverman. when you say stirred up, discussed by, yes, it is absolutely right to discuss it, we live in a democratic society. last night, the police said community tensions by a week of intense debates about policing which has piled further pressure on suella braverman. there are calls for her to either resign or be sacked. it is undoubtedly the case that the home secretary made the job of the police harder this weekend. she inflamed tensions. she also attacked the police, undermined respect for the police, at a really important time. there are no easy choices for the prime minister now. if he sacks his home secretary, he risks upsetting many on the right of his party and creating a dangerous political enemy. but if she stays in place, even after seemingly openly defying downing street with that newspaper article, he risks looking weak. tony bonsignore, bbc news. time to take a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. five matches in the premier league today, four under way at the moment as liverpool hope to move level on points with manchester city, who play later on. juergen klopp's side are taking on brentford at the moment, mohamed salah opening the scoring. in brighton versus sheffield united, it is currently 1-0 to sheffield united, it is currently 1—0 to brighton. west ham are in action against nottingham forest, it is 1—1 in that game. those matches into the second half. the pick of the games comes from the stamford bridge, which has hosting the leader manchester city stop the blues have had their struggles this campaign, despite massive investment in the squad. pep guardiola does not think it will be long before chelsea are back challenging again, though. we go there with, yeah, optimistic for what we have seen in the way they are training, the mood of the team. we are right now unexpected for two or three weeks top of the league right now. and this is what we have to try to maintain, the level, the quality of the game. but sooner or later, chelsea will be there fighting for the titles, no doubt about it. we need to give credit to all the organisation of manchester city, from the top and the bottom. and of course it's going to be a challenge. we want to compete against them, we already know that it's going to be tough, but i have seen we are going to go and try to compete in our best, and what we want is to win the three points because that is important for us. megan rapinoe's final match of her football career ended early as the american star had to leave the pitch just three minutes into her farewell game. the two—time world cup winner said the national women's soccer league final as part of the 0l reign team was "really the last one". but a suspected torn achilles tendon brought a premature end to her night. rapinoe's side also lost, meaning that she ends her career without an nwsl title — having spent 11 seasons with the seattle—based reign. at the cricket world cup, we have reached the semifinals. india have won every game so far, underplaying the netherlands. they set a target of 411
