i'm anna foster. a convoy of humanitarian aid has crossed into gaza for the first time since thursday, after a week—long truce collapsed. palestinian red crescent said it received the convoy. fighting restarted on friday morning as the two sides blamed each other for the collapse of the agreement. this is live looking across at northern gaza. you across at northern gaza. can probably hear in the background you can probably hear in the background the renewed sound of outgoing fire. a spokesman for the israeli military said they were now hitting hamas infrastructure all over the gaza strip. we've had reports of heavy smoke hanging over the area. there have been israeli air strikes in north—western gaza and khan younis in the south — where hundreds of thousands of people fled earlier in the war to escape fighting. the hamas—run health ministry said about 200 people have been killed and more than 600 people injured since fighting restarted in gaza yesterday. reports indicate khan younis is seeing some of the heaviest bombardments of the war yet. this morning the israeli military earlier dropped leaflets in parts of southern gaza, warning people to leave and move even further south towards the egyptian border. meanwhile, hamas and other groups fired rockets at israel, which deployed its iron dome defence system to intercept them. you see the puffs of smoke as the rockets are intercepted. we sell increased humanitarian aid and the ceasefire but things are very much back to where they were we start with this report from our middle east correspondent hugo bachega. the day reveals the destruction. the night sky lit up by israel's air strikes. in khan younis, in southern gaza, the heaviest bombardment since the start of the war. the day reveals the destruction. israel says it is fighting hamas, palestinians say there were only civilians in this building, no fighters. in central gaza, children were taken to this hospital — the new casualties putting more pressure on a system already on the verge of collapse. we do know that there are exerted efforts to renew the delivery of human attendance systems, and we also call for only going back to the pause, which brought quite some respite to people in gaza, but also, for a humanitarian ceasefire. in southern gaza, people are on the move. the israeli military has dropped leaflets with evacuation orders. here, a qr code, indicating places for residents to go. internet and electricity are limited in gaza. how people will be able to access the information isn't clear. in the north, israel's ground offensive continues. the military released this footage of its soldiers fighting on foot, amid the destruction brought by their war. efforts to pause the fighting continue. people in gaza still hope for peace but, again, they're counting the dead. hugo bachega, bbc news, jerusalem. 0ur gaza correspondent rushdi abualouf, who is currently in istanbul, gave us this update on israel's military operation in gaza. the focus of the operation seems to be now in the south, not the north. the north was bombed also last night and this morning heavily. but the main focus is the four main areas, four main villages east of khan younis. it's being bombed heavily. hundreds of targets in the area were destroyed. including government buildings, houses, and agricultural area. it is an area where 40% of people grew up, in this part of gaza. most of the people who live there are farmers. we have seen images and pictures of people walking their cows and camels and donkeys early morning and leaving this area. people who live there, they have a very bad experience about israeli ground incursions back in 2014, there were hundreds of people who were killed and hundreds of buildings were destroyed back in 2014. people in this area knew very well how the consequences of possible israeli ground troops being sent to this area. they decided to leave to the west. the west is already overwhelmed by palestinians. leave their homes back in october, on the 13th, from gaza city and the north. that is where the focus of the operation was before. the truce was in the north. people were displaced in the south. i have been living with those people for four weeks in the area and i know there is no more room for any more people to come. the suffering, the humanitarian cost of this war is getting bigger and bigger. people are unable to cope with the situation, especially after the weather changed from summer to winter. people were left homeless thhout proper clothes and proper shelter to cope with this weather condition. now in addition to all of that, they have to receive another thousands of people fleeing their homes in the east. live now to akiva eldar, who is a political analyst, author and journalist. he joins us from tel aviv. i want to talk about the israeli public and how they are filling because they saw this seven day period for many holidays were released but many more are being still held inside gaza so how is the end of the ceasefire deal being received by people here? i end of the ceasefire deal being received by people here? i think of the israeli mood _ received by people here? i think of the israeli mood can _ received by people here? i think of the israeli mood can be _ received by people here? i think of the israeli mood can be described l received by people here? i think of. the israeli mood can be described as schizophrenic part of the israeli public would tell you that whatever it takes israel must wipe hamas off the face of the earth. 0ther it takes israel must wipe hamas off the face of the earth. other people will tell you the government has betrayed the people who lived in the southin betrayed the people who lived in the south in the area occupied by hamas on october seven but most israelis float in the middle and would like to have it both ways. they would like to see their children and women and all people back home but at the same time they insist the government will keep its commitment to put an end to the military and civil power of hamas, and some people would change their mind overnight when they see the images of those little girls going back home and being hugged by their parents, they would say israel needs to pay any price even to stop the war, to reach some kind of another truce but bring the children home and there is a huge campaign both it is real and overseas to bring them back. but the next day, they will listen to a panel on the radio or television and will be told we must complete the job because otherwise this can happen again and there will be another round of violence and whatever it takes, the government has promised to make sure this will not happen again. the has

country and they have a very strong lobby of families of those who were abducted and they know that once you strike the tunnels or more houses in gaza our other refugee camps, this may be a death certificate of more israeli children, women and all people. so at the end of the day, benjamin netanyahu is very busy with his own future and is listening to the voice of the people, the voices coming from the people there are 1200 people that lost their lives seven weeks ago. today it is seven weeks ago. benjamin netanyahu promised that we will eat the cake and have it, which means he can do both, but it, which means he can do both, but it seems he is not able to do this. the only thing happening right now if you look at the bottom line is what israel and benjamin netanyahu wanted is to erase from the face of the earth the palestinian problem and no we have been talking about this for seven consecutive weeks, the entire international community is busy with that. he was mr status quo and he believed that israel could make peace with saudi arabia and at the emirates and he said at the united nations a few days before the united nations a few days before the war started that the palestinians will not be able to put a finger on this peace process and no he has to answer those questions you are asking me, what is in it for israel at the end? we lost so many people and the people in israel are still enough trauma. —— the post trauma will come later. the slogan from the river to the sea that we never heard in the last decade is now the most popular in ivy league

negotiate a comprehensive final status agreement on the entire occupied territories stop the american administration is pushing very hard for an answer. we know he wants to wipe hamas off the face of the earth but you cannot wipe the palestinian people, there are 2 million people living there and what we need is an israeli government willing and able and strong pro—peace coalition and strong pro—peace coalition and strong international community and a strong international community and a strong american president that will push hard. israel is getting the support of the united states and europe to do the job in gaza militarily but will not get the green light to keep gaza under military occupation without human rights and with a huge humanitarian catastrophe that will just rights and with a huge humanitarian catastrophe that willjust begin with the winter. we have just seen part of it a week ago. the weather in israel is great but it is winter, it is december and christmas is close. they don't have clean water or sewage or food or communication and will exercise a huge humanitarian crisis and israel has got a few more days to complete the militaryjob, a few more months, but the military timeline coincides with the military timeline coincides with the political timeline and with the weather. , ., ., ., , weather. there is a lot to consider. thank you — weather. there

gaza and the report from reuters thatis gaza and the report from reuters that is a mossad delegation in doha. now back to london. a british soldier has been killed while off duty in kenya according to the ministry of defence. 32—year—old major kevin mccool was on a motorcycle trip off base when he was attacked. 0fficials confirmed the soldier's next of kin has been informed, but said it would not be releasing any details of what happened. defence secretary grant shapps led tributes to major mccool, describing him as "an exceptional person". former prime minister borisjohnson is expected to apologise for mistakes made during his handling of the pandemic when he appears before the uk covid inquiry next week. the bbc has been told mrjohnson will also insist he was correct when it came to many of the big calls. his written statement is likely to be published after his appearance before the public inquiry. it is expected to barely mention his former senior aide dominic cummings. 0ur political correspondent is shelley phelps. she has more on what we can expect to hearfrom mrjohnson. we've been getting an idea from those close to borisjohnson and his allies about the broad scope of the argument he will be making when he gives evidence to the covid inquiry on wednesday and thursday. in addition to the apology, we understand he will defend decisions made by his government arguing that on the big calls they got things right and he will be pointing to things like the vaccine, also pointing to the uk's emergence with the timing of that from it's a final lock ahead of comparable economies. he will defend his use of colourful language and phrases. people might be watching and thinking, why are we hearing about this now before the session has started? why are we hearing this now? it is likely for borisjohnson and his team, it is about getting that defence out there now. on wednesday and thursday there will be that avalanche of scrutiny and the focus will be on the questions and the exchanges there. let's get some of the day's other news now. a united statesjudge has ruled that former president donald trump is not immune from prosecution for actions he took as president. it's the latest setback for mr trump in the case alleging he plotted to overturn the 2020 election result. us prosecutors have charged a man with the attempted murder of derek chauvin, the former police officer convicted of killing george floyd. a fellow inmate, john turscak, is alleged to have stabbed chauvin more than 20 times at a prison in arizona. an 84—year—old man was killed by a large gas explosion at a house in edinburgh. police said two people were recued from the building. emergency services remain at the scene in the baberton area. let's turn to dubai and the latest from the cop28 climate summit, where more than 20 countries have called for nuclear energy capacity to be tripled and at least 116 have commited to tripling renewable energy capacity to combat global warming. my colleague carl nasman is in dubai for us. as this gathering of world leaders taking to the stage, we are still getting a lot of activity and a lot of different pledges, a couple from today, an agreement by more than 20 nations to triple their nuclear capacity and more than 100 nations agreeing to triple their renewable energy capacity by the end of the decade. —— two triple their renewable capacity. we have david shukman. let's chat about the most recent news to triple renewables. i think the really significant thing as you have no more than half the countries of the world saying they want this to happen and they believe the future is renewable. that will send up powerful signalfrom this conference around the world, particularly to the company is building wind farms and solar installations and so forth. the little catch is it is all very well to the clear this will happen but much harder to see how it happens. we know of plenty renewable energy projects funded and have all the right permissions but can't get a connection to the great. this is a wonderful powerful declaration, we have to see how it translates into real facts on the ground. we have seen already _ real facts on the ground. we have seen already today _ real facts on the ground. we have seen already today the _ real facts on the ground. we have seen already today the united - real facts on the ground. we have i seen already today the united states involved in so many different pledges. 0ne involved in so many different pledges. one of them tripling nuclear capacity, one phasing out the use of coal and an event on reducing methane emissions with china whichjust a reducing methane emissions with china which just a few weeks ago which have seemed inconceivable. what do you make of the role of the united states, the second—biggest mineral producer and the world? there is some disappointment president biden is not here and the vice president is here later today. but everyone recognises what president biden has done with an absolute tsunami of investment going in a green direction. it really matters what america does. it is the second biggest emitter and the richest economy. if you look at emissions cumulatively since the start of the industrial revolution america is number one source for all those reasons plus the fact it is amazingly technically innovative. think of all the inventions and all the creativity that comes out of the united states and how that applies to for example renewables, the power that could have. lets to for example renewables, the power that could

minister of health for uganda yesterday who told me everything they thought on with in climate change becomes a health problem if you think about heat waves, flooding of the spread of disease. the implications are enormous for us as individuals. also devastating effects on health care as an institution, hospitals getting flooded and washed away and health care workers unable to work. these sorts of problems are massive, plus the health care industry is like a large country in terms of carbon emissions, 6% globally, that puts this centrestage, and about time. so many health effects and so many impacts, the hottest year on record so the emphasis on health coming into play here in dubai. plenty analysis and coverage on cop28 and israel gaza. there is plenty more to come from. hello there. the weather story just recently feels as though it's been pulled straight from a dickens christmas novel. it's been bleak out there, hasn't it? we saw temperatures as low as minus ten first thing this morning. we also had some dense freezing fog and some snow showers which moved their way from glasgow over towards fife during the early hours. now, those showers will ease away and actually through the afternoon we'll have some sunny spells into north and east scotland. a few showers of rain out to the west with northern ireland and generally along west—facing coasts of england and wales will see some showers as well. the fog will lift to sunny spells elsewhere, but it is going to be a cold afternoon with temperatures barely above freezing once again in places, maybe scotland not getting above freezing at all. now, the showers out to the west will drift further inland through the night. and with temperatures falling away, we could see a spell of snow moving its way through the midlands, maybe some freezing rain down through the south east of england, which could have an impact first thing in the morning. clearer skies further north, still leading to another bitterly cold night across scotland in particular. so we're going to start off on sunday, then, cold and frosty here in scotland, some sunny spells into northern ireland. early morning rain easing away from east anglia and southeast england. a blanket of cloud continues for much of the afternoon and there'll be bits and pieces of nuisance rain. so not a particularly pleasant afternoon to come, but it will be just that little bit milder. temperatures here between four and eight degrees. another cold story in scotland, but at least you've got the sunshine. another area of low pressure will bring a spell of wet snow, perhaps, as it moves its way through northern england, primarily rain through the south and east. that will pull away to sunny spells and scattered showers. still a little bit of winteriness with any elevation behind it. it stays cold in scotland with temperatures again between three and five degrees. further south, we're looking at six to eight as a daytime maximum. and as we move out of monday into tuesday, that's when we start to see this milder air arriving. it's going to push the blues out of the way with a southerly wind driving in milder air across the country. but, unfortunately, it does look likely to come at a price. it means that as we head through the week, it turns increasingly wet and windy at times. this is bbc news, the headlines... the palestinian red crescent says it's received the first aid trucks to enter gaza since the truce ended. israel's military says its renewed bombardment of gaza has hit more than 400 targets. at cop28, at least 116 nations commit themselves to tripling renewable energy capacity. and former prime minister boris johnson is expected to apologise to the uk covid inquiry, acknowledging that the government did not get everything right during the pandemic. let's get more on our main story this hour. israel's renewed bombardment of gaza is in its second day, after the collapse of a week—long truce. we've had this statement from mossad — the israeli intelligence body. it reads — following the impasse in the negotiations and at the direction of prime minister binyamin netanyahu, mossad head david barnea ordered his team in doha to return to israel. the terrorist organisation hamas did not fulfill its part of the agreement, which included the release of all children and women according to a list that was forwarded to hamas the head of the mossad thanks the head of the cia, the egyptian minister of intelligence and the prime minister of qatar for their partnership in the tremendous mediation efforts that led to the release of 84 children and women from the gaza strip, in addition to 2a foreign citizens." that does appear to contradict reports we were getting from reuters that the negotiations in qatar were continuing. 0ur international correspondent 0rla guerin reports on the latest bombardment of gaza. gaza awoke to this, a new day of israeli bombing. skies darkened by ash and debris. in rafah, survivors snatched from the rubble, a baby brought out alive. but palestinians say that 12 members of one family were killed here in their own home. in khan younis, frenzied digging with bare hands. israel says it is striking hamas in its strongholds, tell that to this girl. we didn't know where it was, she says, we ran to see and it was our home. from southern israel, we could see and hear the return to battle. the view now from inside gaza is of black smoke on the horizon, the ceasefire well and truly over. israel is blaming hamas for all this, saying it fired rockets early this morning and refused to release all the women it's holding. once again, inside gaza, there is war. and more than two million palestinians are trapped. with israel promising to hit hard. having chosen to hold on to our women, hamas will now take the mother of all thumpings. as of now, after hamas violated the framework for a pause in the fighting, hostilities have resumed and the idf has resumed combat against the hamas army of terror in the gaza strip. but this family is mourning a civilian. he leaves behind four children. ahmed says a last goodbye and tries to keep the flies away. then his brothers take their turn. the family told the bbc the man was killed when israel bombed their apartment block. ahmed's mother told him his daddy is going to heaven. hour after hour, more wounded children. a un official was inside a gaza hospital when the truce ended. this hospital simply cannot take more children with the wounds of war. there are children everywhere. these children were sleeping. there was a bomb literally 50 metres from here. hamas is blaming israel for the collapse of the ceasefire. this time around, as gaza is bombarded, america insists israel must do more to avoid massive loss of civilian life. 0rla guerin, bbc news, tel aviv. let's return to dubai to get the latest from the cop28 climate summit. there's been a slew of new announcements, including a promise by at least 116 countries to treble renewable energy capacity. my colleague carl nasman is in dubai for us. that is right, i'm joined by a representative from one of the nations that just signed representative from one of the nations thatjust signed that agreement, the minister of environment and climate change for canada. thank you for being here. it has been a flurry of

stealing campaign funds, to pay for everything from luxury holidays to botox treatment, has been expelled by the house of representatives. george santos is just the sixth person in us history to be expelled from congress. gary 0'donohue reports from washington. i will go to washington to fight for the american dream. a first—generation senate brazilian immigrants, george santos's version of the american dream has him into a laughing stock, fodder for late—night comedians. because i was the first openly gay jewish republican latino to walk on the moon. do you have a problem with that? in fact, the dream was one long series of overinflated and fictitious tales, ending with today's ignominious exit from congress. well, good morning everybody. with that goes a comfortable pension and a £138,000 salary. this is bullying! but george santos is far from a victim. when i first started in my career at citigroup, i was told, "0h, you're a really smart guy." he lied about working on wall street. he lied about attending prestigious universities. he even claimed falsely his grandparents escaped the holocaust and that his mother died from the effects of being in the world trade center on 9/11. she was, in fact, in brazil. i'm very proud of my jewish heritage. after claiming to be a proud americanjew, he produced perhaps the most jaw—dropping of all his explanations. i'm catholic, but i'm alsojew—ish, as an ish. i'mjew—ish. laughter can you tell us the details of your alleged assassination attempt? but more than the lies, it was the alleged crimes that kept piling up that did for him. he's facing 23 criminal charges, among them, multiple counts of wire fraud, two counts of identity theft, three of money laundering and lying to congress — all designed, say prosecutors, to enrich himself and some of it spent on botox, fancy clothes and subscriptions to the 0nlyfans website. he denies all the charges. it's just the sixth time in the 234 year history of the house of representatives that a member has been expelled. and in a country that has become used to its leaders talking about so—called alternate facts and subjective truths, george santos's downfall is perhaps surprising. the new york constituents who voted him in now not so sure. i think he's a crook, and i'm glad he's no longer going to be serving in congress. it's not an extraordinary thing for a politician to lie, - but there's got to be l some truth sometime. the now former congressman could face years in prison if convicted. this american dream looks set for less than a happy ending. gary 0'donoghue, bbc news, washington. ukraine's domestic spy agency detonated explosives on a russian railway line deep in siberia on friday. a ukrainian source has told reuters it is the second attack on military supply routes in the area this week. the explosives were detonated as a freight train crossed the chertov bridge in siberia's bur—yatia region, thousands of kilometres from ukraine. 0ur correspondent in kyiv, jessica parker, has more on the attack. this happened along a stretch of railway which runs through the border of china, it is in the far east of russia, thousands of kilometres from ukraine. what a senior ukrainian official has told us is that the ukrainian security services managed to engineer two explosions, one on a train running in a tunnel and then later on a train running across a bridge. they say that was to try and disable a line they say russia is using for military purposes. the russian media is reporting that the first instance in the tunnel is being investigated and authorities have talked about that incident saying that fire or smoke was seen but it only caused slight delays. the extent of damage caused isn't clear at the moment. what is more clear is the keenness of kyiv to strike targets deep inside russian territory. jessica parker on that situation in siberia. jessica parker on that situation in siberia. there is further public transport chaos in england this weekend. train drivers who are members of the aslef union are staging a series of strikes across the country. it's the latest industrial action in their long—running dispute with train operators over pay and working practices. our business correspondent marc ashdown has more. there won't be much festive cheer on the railway today, it is the latest one—day walk—out by train drivers who are members of the aslef union. after nearly 18 months of industrial action, that is yet more frustration for passengers. it has just gone on too long, i think i have had enough of it now. i want to know that if i want to catch a train that there will be a train running. it hasjust been a year of disruption, really annoyed, don't know what it's for, every local station, they are sitting in the cafes, the workers want to get back to work, they're just saying that the train managers are making decisions that they are not happy with, so i don't understand why we are suffering. it is really frustrating, - it just feels like the only people who are suffering is the everyday people who are struggling - to get into work or seeing family and friends. - especially around christmas, it - means that people can't be together. after 14 one—day strikes where all 12,000 drivers walked out in unison, aslef says that this action will use new tactics to ratchet up the pressure on the train companies. an overtime ban began yesterday and will run for nine days in total, it means reduced services will be running across britain every day until next saturday. drivers at each of the operators involved also walk out for 24 hours at a time but staggered on different days — from today until next friday. monday is the only day where there will be no strikes. it is a particular concern for the hospitality industry — bars, pubs and restaurants are starting their busiest and most important period of the year. for many, it could be make or break. it is the second busiest week in the calendar, in the run—up to christmas, lots of office parties and lunches, that are now being postponed. overall, the series of rolling strikes are estimated to cost the industry a further £600 million. this comes as members of the other rail union voted to agree to a backdated pay rise of 5%, as well as guarantees on job security. it means they won't take part in any further industrial action until at least the spring. the aslef dispute is mainly centred on pay, the group representing the train operators insist that a pay rise of 8% over two years is reasonable, the government is in support but the union says there are too many caveats and members have continued to vote for industrial action over the next few months. the face of the women's rights movements in the us during the 1970s and an icon of feminism, gloria steinem, has spent the last 50 years focusing her efforts on advancing women's political participation and reproductive rights. now 89 years old, steinem has sat down with bbc 100 women to discuss how feminism has changed over the decades, the impact of cancel culture, and what the future might look like for women's rights around the world. you and i have grown up in some form of patriarchy that says that even in the family, women are more responsible for taking care of infants and small children than men are. even though men are parents, too. so that's where a lack of democracy begins. and that's the beginning of change that we all can make. we shouldn't feel helpless just because we're not changing something globally. the idea of domination and a lack of democracy begins is in the family, and it's even more important and even more the cause of future conflict to grow up with that, with making discrimination and domination. than national policies are. what kind of change you wish to see that you think hasn't been achieved and you hope to see accomplished in your lifetime? well, the most obvious and simplest is that we can determine the fate of our own physical selves, so we can decide whether and when to have children, not to have children. whatever it is about our physical selves, because that's where our difficulty begins, because we happen to have wombs and the desire to control wombs is very central to authoritarian systems. so, you know, it's clear that controlling reproduction is crucial. yet when we talk about politics, we don't usually start there, clearly because we have a womb and men don't. the desire to control the womb is often the first or most lethal or most impactful kind of effort. another thing that nowadays everybody�*s talking about is cancel culture. you know, there is this fear of speaking up, especially among the younger generation. what do you think of that? do you actually think that this is compromising the freedom of speech of the younger generation? i don't feel it myself, but i resent it on behalf of anybody who does feel it, because free speech is crucial to any democracy. we should not submit to cancel culture. it's social pressure as censorship, and it's definitely not a good thing. even when it is suppressing evidence of bias, it still is silencing people. now, what would you say is the biggest misconception people make about you? well, occasionally, especially when i was traveling a lot, people seemed surprised that i had a sense of humor. you're notjust an angry feminist, no? right! i think also people look at the movement and think that it is more limited to college—educated white women than it really is. it's often started in quite the reverse way. if there is any legacy, i would just say that i was trying to make the world a little more fair and a little more representative than it was when i got here, that this included laughter and joy as well as angerand... right, right? that each of us is unique. so we shouldn't try to be like somebody else, but perhaps we can gain support and inspiration from knowing people who came before us. it is approaching christmas. actor macaulay culkin — best known for his portrayal of kevin mcalister in the hit christmas film series home alone — has been honored on the hollywood walk of fame. the 43—year—old began his career on stage at the age of four, before rising to stardom in home alone. he won a golden globe award for his role as kevin mcalister, but starred in many other roles during his four—decade career in show business. he was joined at the ceremony by his fiancee fellow actress brenda song and their two kids. officials in the italian city of bologna have begun constructing a barrier around a medieval tower because of fears it might collapse. the garisenda tower leans just as much as its famous counterpart in pisa, but recent inspections have found changes in the direction of its tilt. metal containers and wire mesh around the building are supposed to catch possible falling debris. the city council estimates that the barrier alone will cost more than $4 million and has begun a crowdfunding campaign to fund restoration work. plenty more to come in the coming hours. do stay with us on bbc news. hello there. the weather story just recently feels as though it's been pulled straight from a dickens christmas novel. it's been bleak out there, hasn't it? we saw temperatures as low as —10 first thing this morning. we also had some dense freezing fog and some snow showers which moved their way from glasgow over towards fife during the early hours. now, those showers will ease away and actually through the afternoon we'll have some sunny spells into north and east scotland. a few showers of rain out to the west with northern ireland and generally along west—facing coasts of england and wales we'll see some showers as well. the fog will lift to sunny spells elsewhere, but it is going to be a cold afternoon with temperatures barely above freezing once again in places, maybe scotland not getting above freezing at all. now, the showers out to the west will drift further inland through the night. and with temperatures falling away, we could see a spell of snow moving its way through the midlands, maybe some freezing rain down through the south east of england, which could have an impact first thing in the morning. clearer skies further north, still leading to another bitterly cold night across scotland in particular. so we're going to start off on sunday then, cold and frosty here in scotland, some sunny spells into northern ireland. early morning rain easing away from east anglia and southeast england. a blanket of cloud continues for much of the afternoon and there'll be bits and pieces of nuisance rain. so not a particularly pleasant afternoon to come, but it will be just that little bit milder. temperatures here between four and eight degrees. another cold story in scotland, but at least you've got the sunshine. another area of low pressure will bring a spell of wet snow, perhaps, as it moves its way through northern england, primarily rain through the south and east. that will pull away to sunny spells and scattered showers. still a little bit of winteriness with any elevation behind it. it stays cold in scotland with temperatures again between three and five degrees. further south, we're looking at six to eight as a daytime maximum. and as we move out of monday into tuesday, that's when we start to see this milder air arriving. it's going to push the blues out of the way with a southerly wind driving in milder air across the country. but, unfortunately, it does look likely to come at a price. it means that as we head through the week, it turns increasingly wet and windy at times. live from london, this is bbc news. i am live from southern israel, the palestinian red crescent has agreed that it has
