tom hanks tells us why a new exhibition is his passion project. when you get up just a little bit closer, it's quite stunning, that magnificent desolation, and in that, there is just such magnificence. and coming up on sporstday later in the hour on bbc news... australia make a brilliant start against south africa. we will have the latest. hello and welcome to the bbc news at one. we begin this lunchtime with a report from inside al—shifa, the largest hospital in gaza, which has been at the cente of israeli operations over recent days. doctors there say the building has been without power and water. israel says the site was a key command centre for hamas and have mounted what it called a targeted operation against the group there. hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk, described the raid as a war crime. last night, the bbc, along with one us media network, was taken by the israeli army into a small part of the hospital to see weapons and other materials found there. israeli military restrictions meant that our correspondent lucy williamson wasn't allowed to speak to doctors or patients, but her words are not censored and she described what she saw. we're in an israeli military vehicle inside the gaza strip now. they're taking us towards gaza city. this area, we're passing through an area where the ground operation first began weeks ago now. and since then, the israeli army has fought its way methodically towards gaza city, towards the gates of the shifa hospital. and that's where they're taking us now. we're still being told to keep our lights off. are we going this way? well, the israeli army has been really searching through this hospital. you can see they've had to force the door of the mri room here to get inside. they've been looking for evidence of this being a hamas base, a place where hamas planned attacks. and they say that among the things they've uncovered are more than a dozen kalashnikovs, grenades, personal protective equipment, some of it with the hamas military brigade insignia on it. you can see some of them here hidden under these bags of medical supplies. we're also told that there have been laptops found with some information about the hostages. they also found some recent files that suggest this may have been a hamas operating base as recently as a few days ago. our correspondent lucy williamson there. our correspondent mark lowen is in southern israel. what's your assessment of what the bbc have seen at the hospital? for years, israel has been labouring al—shifa hospital hamas headquarters based on intelligence and interrogation of palestinians. a few weeks ago they provided a sd interrogation of palestinians. a few weeks ago they provided a 3d model of what they said they would find including a subterranean network of tunnels and command centres. so far what we have got from the israelis as you saw in the report is photographic and video footage of a dozen kalashnikovs, a handful of grenades, flakjackets, suggesting a hamas military presence which the group denies but full short i think of being labelled a hamas command centre. it is possible to the israeli defence forces are only in one part and hamas knowing a raid was imminent cleared things out. either way israel is under intense international pressure and he would have thought on the day of the raid perhaps israel would have seized the opportunity for a big reveal of the subterranean network of tunnels and command centres and it has not done that. the al—shifa operation is integral to the war effort and israel winning back some kind of level of legitimacy and credibility among international allies and critics. so far i would say there will be many people saying the burden of proof has not yet been met. ., ~ burden of proof has not yet been met. . ~ , ., burden of proof has not yet been met. . ~ i. a, ~ burden of proof has not yet been met. . ~' i” ~' ., meanwhile, israel says itsjets have attacked the gaza house of the man widely considered to be the overall leader of hamas. the bbc hasn't been able to independently verify the claim. elsewhere, palestinian media say about 50 people were killed by an air strike in the central gaza strip. israel hasn't commented on the strike but says it targets hamas infrastructure and minimises civilian deaths. yolande knell reports. the home of the top hamas leader now destroyed. israel says. across gaza it is targeting what it calls terrorist infrastructure. and taking control of new territory. this is the gaza airport. but the palestinians, the morning continues. with children among those killed in the latest israeli air strikes in the latest israeli air strikes in the south. translation: , ., ., . , translation: they are watching us die and saying. _ translation: they are watching us die and saying, let _ translation: they are watching us die and saying, let them _ translation: they are watching us die and saying, let them die, -

"but we know there is more to do." here at northwick park, they say maternity is already improving. i'm determined that we're going to turn things around. i really am. and actually, from the improvements that we've made in the last year, actually, that shows evidence that we are turning things around. like the vast majority of the 1,500 babies born every day, baby kianna is fine. the hope is that every baby can have such a safe start. catherine burns, bbc news. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised in that film, you can find details of organisations which offer advice and support online at bbc.co.uk/actionline. one of the uk's most senior generals was warned in writing, more than a decade ago, that soldiers were claiming to have executed detainees who'd been handcuffed in afghanistan. but instead of referring the evidence to the military police, it was placed in a classified dossier and locked in a safe. richard biltonjoins us from leeds. richard, explain more about what happened here. panorama for a number of years, we have _ panorama fora number of years, we have been_ panorama for a number of years, we have been investigating _ have been investigating extrajudicial— have been investigating extrajudicial killings -
