across the world, more than i billion people celebrate the hindu festival of lights. live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news. it's newsday. in singapore, this is bbc news. welcome to the programme. in gaza, it has been five weeks of constant bombardment by israel, after an attack by hamas on october the 7th. now there is a growing concern about the state of hospital there. the world health organization has warned the biggest hospital in gaza is out of power and premature babies had to be moved out of incubators because of that. israel's president isaac herzog says hamas has its base underneath the building, which hamas has denied. the second biggest hospital, al-quds is also reported by a charity to have run out of fuel. at al—shifa, out here we cannot see, everything is in total darkness, really. without electricity, without fuel, without water, even without food. and still, we are having more than 600 injured people. and we are suffering now with our babies, who we can't move from our neonatal icu. we are talking now about the 36 — it was 39 — three of them who lost their lives. two of them lost their lives due to a lack of oxygen, because of the bombardment two days ago to the main oxygen generator. they had a lack of oxygen, and today we lost another baby because of this atmosphere and environment. i'm afraid that we will lose all of these babies. we would like to move these babies to outside gaza, to egypt, to keep them alive. because if we leave them in this situation here in gaza, i think we will lose them all. we are besieged, we are under pressure from above, from the sky, by air strikes from israel, and shooting from the sea. we are like hostages, all of us are like in a big prison, and the israelis are controlling the movement. it's now five weeks since hamas, designated a terrorist organisation by a number of governments, massacred 1,400 people in israel and took more than 200 hostages. since then, hamas officials say well over 11,000 people have been killed in israeli attacks on gaza. in this special report, our international editor jeremy bowen assesses what could happen next, in gaza and in israel. the beds were full when mosab was brought in wounded. gaza's medics have to improvise. and a photo of premature babies at shifa, the main hospital in gaza, swaddled to stay alive after their incubators stopped working when the power ran out. all born in the cruelty of war. in the other hamas—israel wars, it would be time for a ceasefire by now and back to the same uneasy status quo until the next explosion. news teams can't cross into gaza, so they come to sderot, the nearest israeli town, to look in. perhaps the biggest question is what happens in gaza the day after? who's going to be in charge? israeli occupiers? an internationalforce? palestinians — if so, which palestinians? this time, it's different. the cost in lives from the hamas attacks to israel's response has thrust the conflict into unknown territory. with israel on the attack, prime minister netanyahu rejected america's day—after plan. the us wants the palestinian authority, rivals to hamas, to run gaza after the fighting, and then, a palestinian state alongside israel. netanyahu opposes palestinian independence and wants israel to control security. danny yatom, once the israeli spy chief, said that's why the prime minister snubbed israel's most important ally. israel should not stay too long in the gaza strip — one. secondly, it will not be able to leave the gaza strip unless all the abductees are in our hands, back in a peaceful situation. and we won, we succeed hamas, we won the war against hamas. now there is a need to define, what does it mean exactly to win? i define it as the collapse of hamas as a body, as an organisation, losing its chain of command. israelis are united behind their army, but not their prime minister. these demonstrators outside his office injerusalem believe he is pandering to the hard—line jewish nationalists who keep him in power. another big question for israelis is the future of their prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. he was a divisive figure before the 7th of october. and since then, a lot of israelis have started to blame him for the security and intelligence and military errors that allowed hamas to attack with such devastating consequences. there's anger that after hamas killed and abducted so many, mostly israeli civilians, military and intelligence chiefs accepted their share of the blame and the prime minister did not. and pressure is growing for a ceasefire in exchange for hostages. what is fighting hamas? of course, the hamas needs to be taken down, ok. but the question of how to do it is also a significant question. and before i want to kill one single terrorist, i want each and every one of these people home. i want the ten—month—old baby home. i want the 86—year—old home. i want that more than i want dead terrorists. once they're home, we can finish the job. the pain and hatred unleashed since the 7th of october might overwhelm all those who still believe in peace, not permanent war. almost every day in the west bank, they bury more palestinians killed in israeli raids. this side of the occupied palestinian territories is becoming the war�*s next battleground. the only answer, western leaders say, is to revive the two—state solution — independent palestine alongside israel. a failed idea that survives only as a slogan. sabri saidam, an adviser to the palestinian president, has heard it all before. i think it's empty, it's meaningless if it continues to be this way. if you want to do things, don't just walk — don'tjust talk. you need to walk the talk and you need to implement things. if we continue with this sloganeering without any results whatsoever, we're getting nowhere. when this war started, joe biden warned israel not to be blinded by rage as america was after the 9/11 attacks by al-anda. now, israel's tactics are alarming the americans. they reiterate support for israel, but say too many palestinians have been killed by the war machine they helped israel build. inside gaza, israeli military censors say we can't show the faces of soldiers we filmed. senior western diplomats, firm israeli allies, told the bbc that ending the war and dealing with the aftermath will be difficult and messy. the wall betweenjerusalem and the west bank is a monument to the death of the last peace process. so what do we know? well, events since the attacks of october the 7th have shown that this conflict is not something that israel can manage and the rest of the world can ignore. there's also the history of a century of conflict between arabs and jews for control of this land. and that shows that there's no military solution. so if the current bloodshed doesn't lead to a new and serious attempt to make peace, then there'll be more wars for more generations. but war hardens hearts. in gaza today in a brief pause, thousands more palestinians fled the israeli offensive. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. since israel began its retaliatory attacks on gaza, there have been large protests in support of palestinian people. last week, the malaysian prime minister said his country will maintain ties with hamas, a stance which is likely to be popular with the muslim majority country, which continues to not recognise israel diplomatically. since israel diplomatically. since israel began its retaliatory attacks... sorry, i'm going to go to our next guest, a former malaysian ambassador. thank you forjoining us on the programme. in terms of what the malaysian leader has said, do you agree with his remarks? well, you have to look at it within the context of malaysian politics. the islamic dimension has a lot to do with our strong support for fellow muslims in palestine. but i think also the unprecedented scale of killing and destruction we have seen in gaza has a strength and support in malaysia across racial and religious lines. it's notjust the muslims in malaysia, but muslims across the world, in fact people from all over the world. it's hard not to watch what is going on in gaza today and not feel outraged. haw and not feel outraged. how would you _ and not feel outraged. how would you describe - and not feel outraged. how would you describe the - would you describe the relationship between malaysia, the malaysian government, and hamas? ~ , ., , , ., hamas? well, you must see that in the context _ hamas? well, you must see that in the context of— hamas? well, you must see that in the context of malaysia's - in the context of malaysia's support for the people of palestine. the palestinian authority embassy here, of course hamas leaders have visited. the government in malaysia's position is hamas is not a terrorist organisation, it is resisting occupation. so malaysia has always given strong moral and political support, and some financial support, and some financial support for welfare and humanitarian purposes. i don't think it has gone beyond that. just to clarify that, for many other governments including the uk and the us, hamas are designated as a terrorist organisation. hamas attacked israel on october the 7th... are they not entitled to defend themselves?— themselves? look, there's no . uestion themselves? look, there's no question that _ themselves? look, there's no question that what _ themselves? look, there's no question that what happened | themselves? look, there's no l question that what happened on october the 7th, the murder of civilians, women and children, the taking of hostages ought to be condemned. my personal view, i'm forthright about that. previously the government has been forthright in condemning terrorism, 9/11, the bombings in london and other places, and it should do so now. but, you know, there is pressure in malaysia... let me put it this way, it seems like everybody wants malaysia to condemn hamas, and justify that. but the argument i hear domestically here a lot is how come there is no similar pressure to condemn israel, when it carries out heinous bombings and mass murder? and so i think there is a clear need for some kind of balance. if you are going to condemn hamas and what it did, then you ought to condemn equally what israel is doing, the mass slaughter of people. your correspondents has pointed out earlier, yes, israel has the right to self—defence. that is part of international law. but does the right of self—defence allow it to bomb hospitals, to flatten entire neighbourhoods, to 11,000 people? that is the question people in malaysia are asking. question people in malaysia are askinu. �* ., ., ., ., asking. before we go, i want to asking. before we go, i want to ask what you — asking. before we go, i want to ask what you think _ asking. before we go, i want to ask what you think should - ask what you think should happen to the hostages are still being held in gaza? £31 still being held in gaza? of course, the hostages should be released. there is no question of that. but again, the thing in malaysia and many parts of the muslim world is, yes the hostages should be released, but let's not forget there are 6000 palestinians in israeli prisons today. what about them? should there not be some corresponding move to free them too? most of them, including children, are there without trial. so the plea you are hearing from many in the muslim world is for some kind of balance, give us that balance, help us to find a political solution that will end the carnage for both sides. we have to leave it _ carnage for both sides. we have to leave it there, _ carnage for both sides. we have to leave it there, thank - carnage for both sides. we have to leave it there, thank you - to leave it there, thank you forjoining us. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bringing you different stories from across the uk. villagers who gathered to meet their mp in a pub car park in nottinghamshire have just found out about the latest proposal for a solar park. the great north road scheme plans battery storage for the grid, and a chain of what's called solar islands, linked by underground cables circling the village. i think that the majority of the community probably isn't against solar, but i think the dimension of this project is just so huge and vast. the proposals we're seeing covered dozens of villages, thousands of acres, and will have a profound impact on the landscape and the quality of life of people living in this area. the company behind the plan says if it goes ahead, they'll pay £1 million a year to projects suggested by the community. this is just the start of the consultation, which really gets going next year. as a nationally—significant infrastructure project, the final decision will be made by the secretary of state for energy. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website.

been evacuated. iceland has declared a state of emergency after a series of earthquakes, and the country's meteorological office says there's considerable risk of an eruption. rachel mcadam has more. this is grindavik, the small town in iceland which has been evacuated over fears of a volcanic eruption. thousands of tremors have rocked the region in the last few days, like this one. the impact can be seen already, with cracks in the road like this one, and damage like this that has happened at a golf course. now in terms of its location, grindavik is a very small town in the southwest of iceland, and it's around aokm from the capital, reykjavik, to the southwest. now if i zoom back in, the volcano that everyone's worried about is located just here, so not far from grindavik at all. something else that isn't far from grindavik is the blue lagoon — the world—famous tourist attraction is a thermal spa and was closed earlier this week as a precaution. last night, thousands of residents of grindavik spent a second night in temporary accommodation after they were evacuated because of the fears of a volcanic eruption. here's what some of them had to say. translation: this is| a very strange feeling. i've been tearful, it's been a long 2a hours. even though it's been a very difficult time, it's heart—warming to see the solidarity in times like this. iceland is one of the most geographically volcanic regions in the world. it has over 30 active volcanoes — and this one in the recognised region was dormant for 800 years, until this eruption in 2021. now, although seismic activity in grindavik has decreased overnight, experts are warning that there is still a river of magma flowing beneath the peninsula that could burst through the earth's crust any day. ceremonies
