to a lack of fuel as israel continues its military operation there. communications are also down for a second day in the enclave. the un's biggest agency in gaza says it is no longer able to bring in and distribute aid. as of this morning, no aid has come in as of this morning and this is due to the lack of fuel. so if we get in a shipment of fuel, yes, we will be able to go up to the border and pick up those trucks of much—needed supplies. but we need fuel for that. live now to geneva to speak to dr margaret harris, a spokesperson for the world heath organization. the un is telling us they are begging for fuel right now. can you explain what happens in a hospital when there is no fuel or power? fix, when there is no fuel or power? hospital then is really reduced to a first aid station if you have no power. all you can do a google is look at what the problem is and try to pat somebody up, but you can't do surgery, you can't do any of the life—saving things because you won't even have lights. you have seen the pictures of doctors trying to work by the lights of their phones. you are really limited to the most basic things. as a doctor, as a nursery will still do your level best, but you will be faced with knowing you could save this live or returned this child to a state where they could recover and become an able—bodied person again, but this won't happen simply because you lack the means of giving the care that you are there to give.— the means of giving the care that you are there to give. when you say at basic patch _ you are there to give. when you say at

in las vegas turned into a nightmare for organisers. the first session was halted after only nine minutes after a manhole cover came loose causing damage to two cars and forcing a delay while all manhole covers around the street circuit were checked. formula ijournalist chris medland told us more about the incident and the chaos it's caused to the schedule. 0ne sense what's happened here with the failure with the train covers being pulled up. it's happened before. it's happened in azerbaijan about four years ago, in monaco more recently. and as the cars get more and more performant, they do actually suck things like drain covers up from the ground and they do try and secure them. these were cemented down, but that cement failed and it fell out. now, in a sense, you only really find out when a formula 0ne car runs over it. there's nothing else comparable. so everything's done in the attempt to make sure it wouldn't happen. but the issue here has been that when it did happen, it happened and caused huge damage to two cars. so a whole new chassis had to be replaced on colour switches, car and knock ons. but tests were done yesterday on the track. just again, unless you run an f1 car on it, you're not going to find out. but then the knock on effect because of the time zone here they were running the second practice session was meant to be midnight to one a:m.. midnight to 1am. it's all been pushed back. that's been been really damaging and really disrupted. but fans have been asked to leave the circuit because staff couldn't be kept here all night. so there's going to be no one really watching it here, which is not gone down well locally, i can tell you that. but the second practice session has been extended by half an hour to try and make up for lost time earlier. so in a sense, the teams shouldn't lose out on too much running as long as the track does hold up now. and all the repairs that have been done have been done to the right standard. it will mean a very late finish. we're going to be looking at 4 a.m. we're going to be looking at 4am. local time, finish for what should have been one a.m., but the rest of the schedule is currently unchanged, so itjust means a shorter night for everyone and get back and do practice and qualifying tomorrow. after weeks of haggling, spain's socialist leader, pedro sanchez, has clinched a vote in parliament to lead the country for another term as prime minister. hundreds have taken to the streets to protest, with concerns that his proposed amnesty deal for hundreds of politicians and activists will trigger another bid for secession and threaten spain's territorial unity. we can cross live now to madrid and speak with our reporter guy hedgecoe. there have been weeks of political uncertainty and haggling. how are people feeling now that pedro sanchez has been sworn in? well, in theory there — sanchez has been sworn in? well, in theory there is _ sanchez has been sworn in? well, in theory there is more _ sanchez has been sworn in? well, in theory there is more stability - theory there is more stability because we do finally have a government in place. we haven't had a proper government in place since the election injuly. pedro sanchez has been sworn in, but that doesn't calm the anger i think of many spaniards, certainly the political opposition, who insist that this amnesty law is unconstitutional, that it undermines the rule of law, they allege, and it discriminates against the rest of the country, people who are not catalan, saying it is given preferential treatment to catalan. people have been out on the streets. the opposition continues to say that this amnesty should not be allowed. we are going to see protests continue over the coming days, coming weeks possibly. there is a big one lined up tomorrow in central madrid. there is a feeling that the instability continues because of that pressure from outside and also pressures within mr sanchez�*s new governing majority which is after all pretty fragile. d0 majority which is after all pretty frauile. ,, ~ , fragile. do you think this new amnesty deal _ fragile. do you think this new amnesty deal

is one of the accusations, - from people in catalonia? that is one of the accusations, that - from people in catalonia? that is. one of the accusations, that critics of the amnesty law have made. they say that apart from being unconstitutional that it threatens the territorial unity of spain because it is encouraging future bids for independence, whether by catalan nationalists or basque nationalists. you can say they are trying to break away from spain as they did in 2017 with that referendum that was deemed illegal. you can do that and there will be any legal repercussions from it. so thatis any legal repercussions from it. so that is the claim. mr sanchez has insisted this will calm the atmosphere in catalonia. a bloated, today from the catalan government suggesting that support for pro—independence catalan parties had dropped slightly and if there was an election in catalonia today they would no longer control the catalan parliament. it also showed that there was 60% support in catalonia for the amnesty. if you go across spain, support for the amnesty seems to be much lower than that. certainly mr sanchez is claiming that within catalonia this amnesty will pay off

in the build—up to this investiture and to the presentation of the amnesty law. manyjudges saying that they didn't like it, that they felt it undermined the separation of powers. that has been one of the groups that have been critical of the amnesty law in the last few weeks, thejudiciary. not alljudges have been against it but the fact that manyjudges have spoken out against the law and against this investiture on the back of it is yet another problem for mr sanchez. 0ne another problem for mr sanchez. one of his challenges perhaps will be to try and reassure spain's judges that this is a completely legal, constitutional legislative project. to ukraine now, where nearly 20,000 men have fled the country since the beginning of the war to avoid being drafted. a further 21,000 have tried to leave, but were caught by the ukrainian authorities — that's according to a bbc eye investigation. since russia's invasion, ukraine has banned men of fighting age from leaving unless they have a valid exemption. zhanna betziapuk has more on how some men are managing to escape with the help of corrupt officials. stopped by border police, the men are ordered onto their knees. for ukrainians without a military exemption, crossing the border illegally is the most popular way of escaping the draft. some get caught, but for much of this war, dozens of men have managed to flee this way every day. using freedom of information requests, bbc eye has established that the most common route out is over ukraine's border with moldova. in a refugee centre in moldova, we meet erik, a musician who is hoping to go to the us to be reunited with his family. he's arrived from ukraine on foot. translation: ijust looked at the map. i i heard rumors about where to go, took risk and it worked out. erik says he has a serious health condition but wasn't granted a medical exemption, commonly known as a white ticket. translation: i tried to process the documents for six months, l but no—one allowed me to do it. my patience ran out and i decided to leave this way. we heard that some men are paying substantial bribes to obtain a white ticket. to find out more, we ask the local journalists to pretend to be a man who wants to leave ukraine. a quick search reveals at least six groups offering help on the messaging app telegram. 0ur undercover journalist contacts one of them and is soon offered a white ticket. officials at these centres work closely with military doctors to decide who can get a medical exemption. they sent me an example of this white ticket. for me, this document looks real. probably they know somebody at that office. so this is corruption. the bbc showed its findings to a senior politician from the ruling party. translation: we're doing our best to reduce the number— of corruption cases. those who try to avoid mobilisation are about 1—5%. they are definitely not critical to the defense of ukraine. ukraine doesn't release official figures on the size of its army, but says it has over 800,000 troops. as this conflict turns into a war of attrition, ukraine will need all the soldiers it can get. everton have just received a ten point deduction applied immediately. this is because they have been found to be in breach of the premier league's profit and sustainability rules. this punishment is the biggest sporting sanction in the history of the competition and leaves everton 19th in history of the competition and leaves everton19th in the table. we have hurt as well from the club, saying it was shocked and disappointed by what they have called the wholly disproportionate and unjust ruling. everton also saying they intend to appeal this decision. so everton docked ten points after being found of breaching premier league financial fair play rules. the biggest points deduction in the competition's history. to australia now where thousands of teenagers have taken the day off school to attend climate protests across the country after receiving unofficial permission to take a sick day from top climate experts. the self—described "climate doctors" released sick notes that could be personalised for each student, noting stress and feelings of despair over the climate emergency. australia's eductaion minister said students should not miss school to attend the protests. the students are calling for more concrete action to battle climate change, including the cancellation of gas and coal projects. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. we're helping about 150 to 200 families week on week now. that is a huge average. at the bottom of this poverty there's a small child and that child needs help, so that's what we do. emily only thought her baby bank would last a couple of weeks and finish once the donations dried up, but almost five years on many struggling families rely on it. they're not coming because they're flash. because they've got lots of things. they're coming because they're desperate, because they need a winter coat for their child, a pair of sturdy shoes. they're coming because they're facing incredibly difficult, challenging and circumstances and theyjust need that little bit of help. sarah knows how many of these families feel. she came here after her baby was born. my baby was six—weeks—old and i needed a sling for her. i didn't have £40, £50 for a sling. but now she volunteers for the charity, helping families who are in the same situation. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live

therapy, or cbt, can be an alternative to hormone replacement therapy for women suffering from poor sleep, hot flushes and mood changes. let's bring in dr louise newson, a gp and menopause specialist, to talk more about this. very good to see you. thoughts on this draft guidance? it is very good to see you. thoughts on this draft guidance?— this draft guidance? it is good that has been updated _

this draft guidance? it is good that i has been updated because it is eight years old so it is time for a refresh. it is very disappointing that we are talking about cognitive behavioural therapy so much. it is just one psychological treatment. we see 90% of women who come to our clinic have psychological symptoms. these hormones have big roles in our brains. so there is brain fog, memory loss, anxiety, perversely, reduced concentration, low energy. cbt has ruled the same as other treatments have a role, but we have to remember that we are talking about the and the perimenopause and hormone levels are changing and are very low in the menopause and stay low. we have to remember it is a hormone deficiency. hrt is still the first line treatments. there are many benefits because if you have the right dose and type it will improve symptoms, but also reduce future health risks, as well. the health risks are real, such as heart disease and osteoporosis, diabetes and dementia. cbt will not

other treatments in addition, but not as an alternative. we spend a lot of time thinking about nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, well—being, if appropriate. it shouldn't be used as appropriate. it

data roaming charges racked up on the scottish health secretary's ipad while he was on a family holiday. it's certainly caught public and the press attention over the past few days. people have been asking how the roaming charge, initially picked up by the scottish parliament, got so high. that bill reached almost £11,000. this was partly because mr matheson had not changed sim card after the parliment switched data provider. but still, why so much data usage? in an emotional statement on thursady, michael matheson explained the charge was caused by his sons watching football, something he only became aware of last week. let's take a listen. as a parent, i wanted to protect my family... from being part of the political media scrutiny associated with this, something i believe any parent would want to do. i am a father first and foremost. i can see now that it is just not possible to explain the data usage without explaining their role. the simple truth is they were watching football matches. speaking to the bbc, mr matheson explained a sim card in the device should have been changed. are you are you embarressed by the level of the phone bill that the parliament is being charged? well, it's been explained that it's been caused by an outdated sim card that was in an ipad that i had for constituency purposes, which was a parliamentary ipad, and it hadn't been replaced. i wasn't aware that it had to be replaced and the costs built up as a result of that. as the parliament have also stated very clearly, is that the network provider didn't provide information around the coats that were being incurred, as well. it was something that was unknown to me, as well, and as the parliament have also confirmed that the parliamentary equipment was used for constituency and parliamentary purposes. how did the bill get to 11 grand? the scottish conservatives have called for the health secretary to be sacked and are expected to call a motion of no confidence. here's what their leader douglas ross had to say. well, i think the problem is this is now almost a year since the claim was made, a week into this scandal, and the story has changed and it has changed significantly. the problem with michael matheson's new version of events is it still doesn't explain why he guaranteed to parliament that this was a legitimate expense, something that humza yousaf reiterated. so if it was a legitimate expense, yet he's also saying he didn't know how that data had been accrued, then he misled parliament. so there are still very serious questions for michael matheson and humza yousaf to answer and we didn't get them in the statement today. let's bring you an update from india about the 40 men who have been trapped in a tunnel. rescuers in the northern state say they have drilled less than through the debris to try to reach them. they have been trying to reach them. they have been trying to establish contact with the workers. what is still not clear is how much longer it will take them to bring them out of danger. it is getting very cold there are so real concerns about these falling temperatures. also, are breaking news, everton have received a ten point deduction which will be applied immediately. they have been found to have breached the premier league's profit and sustainability rules. this is the biggest sporting sanction in the history of the competition and takes everton down to 19th in the table. hello there. it looks like being a pretty good day for most of us today. the weather is going to change in time for the weekend, mind you, but for the rest of the day, a lot of dry weather to come. the showers in the west continuing to fade away and there will be some spells of sunshine, as well. but if we look at the satellite picture, you can see all this cloud here in the atlantic, that's spilling its way towards the uk and will bring very different weather overnight and into saturday. the cloud already beginning to push into the south—west of england, wales, later towards northern ireland, but ahead of that through the afternoon, plenty of sunshine around. it should be dry. temperatures making double figures in england and wales. still a bit chilly in the north—east of scotland and, here, there could be an early frost, but early because the cloud is coming in from the south—west. that's bringing rain. it will bring some stronger winds and push the temperatures up, as well. some quite heavy rain, actually, for a while over the moors of the south—west, the hills of south wales. these are the temperatures by the end of the night, so a very mild start to the weekend. but things are going to look very different from today because we've got this weather front bringing the rain. it's wrapped around that area of low pressure. that's also bringing in some stronger winds, but it's actually bringing in air all the way from the tropics and that's why it's going to be so mild to start the weekend. but a cloudy start, with some rain around. still some heavy bursts of rain here and there. you see how it slowly pushes down towards the south—east, up towards north—eastern scotland. away from these areas, we should get some sunshine after the rain. showers, though, coming into northern ireland and particularly western scotland. those could be quite heavy. it will be pretty windy out there, as well. we're likely to have gales through the irish sea and around some western coasts, but it is very mild air, so temperatures could reach 15, possibly even 16 degrees, along the south coast of england. with that weather front and the band of rain out of the way for the second half of the weekend, we've still got that area of low pressure close by and it still could have around it some thicker cloud, some showers or some longer spells of rain, mainly for the northern half of the uk, where it's not quite so windy. further south, the winds are certainly going to be strong, but at least there will be some sunshine outside of those showers and, whilst not quite as mild, temperatures still are going to be 13 degrees. the wind direction changes early next week to more of a north or north—westerly, bringing in a lot of cloud to start next week, but also dropping the temperatures for a while. today at one... the un tells the bbc it can no longer get aid into gaza because there's no fuel or communications. as the funeral is held for a 19—year—old israeli soldier taken by hamas, israel's prime minister says finding hostages was behind his army's operations ar al—shifa. we had strong indications that they were held in the al—shifa hospital, which is one of the reasons we entered the hospital. we'll be live in israel. also on the programme... the plan to expand funded childcare hours for working parents in england could make nurseries harder to find, according to bbc analysis. worse than expected retail sales last month as shoppers still dealing with the cost of living bought less food and fuel. and in the last hour, everton football club are docked ten points for breaching premier league financial rules, plunging them down the table. and coming up on bbc news, england already qualified but still chasing top seeding for next
