hello i'm, vishala sri—pathma. both israel and hamas look intent on continuing the intense fighting, abandoning the negotiating table. israel has pulled its negotiators out of talks in qatar, because it says discussions there aimed at agreeing a new truce with hamas — designated a terrorist organisation by the uk government — had reached a "dead end". the deputy head of hamas political wing has also said there will be no more hostage exchanges in gaza until there 5 a permanent ceasefire. israel's military has intensified its bombardment of gaza since a temporary ceasefire expired yesterday, with 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. according to the hamas—run health ministry, 193 people have been killed and 650 injured since the resumption of fighting. a convoy of humanitarian aid has crossed into gaza for the first time since thursday. humanitarian groups are warning of catastrophic consequences for civilians. the international federation of the red cross says aid workers won't be able to reach people in need if the air strikes continue. we have also seen protests tonight in tel aviv with thousands demanding for another ceasefire, for the hosages to be released and for benjamin netanyahu to be removed. a number of the already released hostages spoke at the rally and called for the prime minister not leave any hostages behind. our first report this hour is from lucy williamson. khan yunis, gaza's southern capital, once labelled safe. america says this new phase of israel's war in gaza must look different to before. two days in, it looks and sounds the same. israel today bombed 50 targets here — more than any previous day of the conflict. it's been telling people to move to shelters further south. this city is where top hamas leaders are said to be hiding. it's also where nader abu warda and his three children are staying, having fled here from the fighting in the north. translation: the israelis told us | that khan yunis was a safe zone, | which led us to flee here. now, even khan yunis has become a war zone. where are we supposed to go? our children are stranded on the streets. israel says military pressure on hamas helps free hostages. 110 women and children were released before the truce broke down. this man's sister—in—law jarden made it out. his sister carmel is still being held by hamas. we hoped that we would be like two or more days of releases. she's the last one and one of the last from all the abducted people. she's doing ok? i know she's held alive in gaza. we saw her best friend get rescued. really, today was my worst day. 20 women are still listed as hostages in gaza. one of them is jarden�*s sister romi, kidnapped from the nova music festival. the negotiation and the releases and everything gave me hope . that i will win the - lottery the next time. ijust know that my sister is - waiting and she saw the other ones get released and she knew- that she could be the next one. tonight, jarden and others willjoin other hostage families for a rally in support of those still held in gaza. some fear that military goals might now take priority. israel has said bombing and bargaining can take place together — something forfamilies here to cling to. lucy williamson, bbc news, tel aviv. the israel prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, held a news conference this evening. he said the continuation of the offensive was inevitable. translation: the day before | yesterday with the war cabinet, we said yes, unfortunately, we will have to continue that fight with tremendous force. we have already hit out 400 hamas terror terror targets. and we have... we have killed those terrorists in the in the north and, of course, wherever it is needed to be done. and one of our soldiers, who i visited in the gaza strip, he asked me, will you continue, will you renew the fighting after that agreement? and i said, "unequivocally, yes. though i want that to be very clear cut to everyone. and i'm saying so in a very unequivocal manner, we will continue doing so until we achieve all its objectives. and one cannot achieve those objectives without continuing on the ground with that maneuver. and that was actually crucial, it was critical in order to bring the results. and now it continues to be that crucial for the continuation. i would like to say to my friends in the world, you are partners in those objectives, our objectives, to eliminate hamas and release all our hostages. and i'm going to repeat that, we cannot achieve those objectives without winning and we cannot win without continuing that ground maneuver. the idf and the security forces are doing so with determination, with clout and power in the framework of the international law. benjamin netanyahu, talking about the reasons for continuing the war in gaza and about freeing the hostages, two of his main goals. as we have been reporting, israel has stepped up its bombardment of gaza, with blocks of flats in the southern city of khan younis among the targets hit. earlier i spoke to unicef spokespersonjames elder, who is in khan younis, for an update on the situation there. prior to the horrors of october 7th, 500 trucks were coming to the gaza strip, commercial and united nations. of course, for long periods in these last seven weeks, it's been none. so 50 is still, it's triage. everything right now is kind of triage, trying to almost stem the bleeding. it does not allow for a meaningful humanitarian response. and so the notion that now of a massive disease outbreak, middle class families have lost homes, seen family members killed, many family members moved... sorry, moved, moved. explosion. it's quite relentless, the bombardments here. moved twice, three times, and now they're living on three or four liters of water a day carrying what they've got, not enough food, sewerage and sanitation systems are broken down, there's no fuel for them and, of course, many of the workers are dead or displaced. this is a nightmare, and as maybe you can hear or not, the bombardments continue with some severity. and in terms of the the situation with zones, these areas that are now designated as unsafe zones, how helpful has that been? because that's what israel is saying now, that they're going to to designate areas as unsafe zones, to alert people and civilians in gaza that these aren't areas that they should be, because those are areas that are targets for them? yes, and i'm told that some of those warnings come as an sms ten minutes before, almost logical, almost cynical. some of the leaflets that that have come about which safe zones to go have a qr code on them. that would be for someone who had been able to power their phone in a place where there's no electricity apart from, say, a generator, and certainly where there's no access to 4g or 5g, 5g wi—fi at all. these would be the same people who were in a safe place in the north in a un shelter that was bombed, and they've come here and been told to go somewhere else. it's not real and i'm very unsettled by the notion that people are taking root with this idea, i see the families on the street, we see the the anxiety, a look at a child when they know, as a child said today when their mother was crying, he said, "my mum just doesn't know where she's going." not that she was lost, but she was in a trance, she's run out of places to go. they were trying to set up their home on a sidewalk. so there is nowhere to go and the idea that this place is safe or this isn't, unfortunately, gets proven to be false in a lethal, lethal way for children when, you know, when they're hit and it was a safe place. and james, can you tell us a bit about where you are right now? yeah, i'm in khan younis, so not farfrom nasser hospital, densely, densely populated. and 1.8 million people are now in this area. so, and this is... sorry, more explosions, i'm not far from the sea. so, again, i have no military expertise, but some of these i'm understanding that would be that would be artillery from the navy and the ones that really shake the windows or worse, glass is your great fear with these things. glass and shrapnel do horrible things to a child's body. so it's a guesthouse of sorts that that we have for staff that is a base. and then you go on convoys to the north or delivering aid here, wherever we can possibly get aid to. i know the north is unreachable at the moment. and james, when we've spoken to aid agencies before, they've talked about the need not only to supply aid to the general population, but also provide the kind of basic raw materials to commercial operators. so shop sellers in in in parts of gaza, so they can continue that trade. is there any sign of normal life where you are? no. no, there's really... it's a great question. no, i think for a few days of the ceasefire getting to days five and six, i would go back and see some families consistently, the same ones with children in hospitals, and you'd start to see that little smirk of childhood return. wasn't a normal life, it's a family of five who previously were in a home with a couch, a television and a laptop, now on a double mattress for four orfive people in a corridor of a hospital or outside at a university. it was normal in that they were getting a moment of normality back and of of trauma dissipating. now, absolutely not, people people are utterly terrified. everyone will ask, get asked that question in increased english from a lot of people, which is, "will you end the war? "are you here to end the war?" and my answer, i don't say... my answer in my brain is, "no, your life is being decided elsewhere. we're simply here to stem the bleeding." that was spokesperson for unicef, who is in gaza at the moment. now it's time for a look at today's sport. thanks, we're starting with football and the draw for next summer's euros which took place today and scotland will open the tournament against hosts germany onjune14th in munich. scotland were drawn in group a with germany, hungary and switzerland. defending champions italy, are up against three—time winners spain, croatia and albania in group b. england have what looks like a very favourable draw in group c with slovenia, denmark and serbia who they play first. and if wales qualify via the play offs they'll face the netherlands, austria and france in group d. so an exciting tournament to come with the final on 14th july in berlin and england manager gareth southgate is clearly looking forward to it. we are hugely excited to be part of the tournament. we know the expectation at home. we have developed as a team, we are getting used to these big games and we are getting ready for the expectation. we hope we can give support to some more brilliant night, as i think we have in the last few tournaments. next to the premier league where top of the table arsenal, were mostly comfortable winners over wolves. after leading 2—0 for most of the game with goals from saka and 0degaard, the end of the match was tense at the emirates when wolves�* matteus cunha scored in the 86th minute. but despite a few chances, they couldn't find an equaliser and arsenal took the 2—1 win to move four points clear of manchester city who play tomorrow. i'm really happy with the way the team performed. we were really dominant, a real threat going forward, super aggressive defensively. we generated a lot, conceded almost nothing and at the end, it should have been much bigger scoreline but when you make a mistake and they take the chance, in the premier league, it is game on and the last few minutes were different than it should have been. at the other end of the table, burnley grabbed valuable points with their biggest win in the premier league — thrashing sheffield united 5—0 to move off the bottom of the table. already 2—0 up before half time, burnley took advantage of sheffield united having a player sent—off — just before the break, to score three more in the second half. burnley move up a place to 19th while sheffield united drop to bottom of the table. everton would have been bottom today with their points deduction but they managed an important win at nottingham forest. dwight mcneil scored the only goal of the game, his first of the season as everton hung on for the vital three points at the city ground. they're now up a place in third from bottom. very pleased, mentality has been excellent and has been for a long time. we are beginning to build a winning edge of a site. three wins on the bounce in the premier league, which isn't easy. they have made this a tough place to come to so very pleased for the players and obviously out of our hands, but it is a restart again, a step in the right direction but plenty of more steps to go. brentford are up to tenth at the expense of luton town who they beat at 3—1 at home... and in the late kick—off, newcastle have gone a goal up. both sides are looking to close in on the top four of the table. snooker and ronnie 0'sullivan is through to the final of the uk championship in york — 30 years since his first final there. he beat iran's hussein vafaei 6—2 in the semi's but it might not have been as straightforward — if the iranian hadn't missed an easy black — that would've pulled the score back to 4—3. but 0'sullivan then showed why he's the world number one, bringing the last red into play, to go on and take that frame and eventually clinch the match. he'll play eitherfellow englishmanjudd trump or china's ding junhui in sunday's final. judd trump is currently three frames to chew up although thing is ahead in that frame. much more on the website, but that is it from me for now. paul adams is here now. benjamin netanyahu spoke about his reasons for resuming the war in gaza, we didn't really learn anything new though, did we? hat didn't really learn anything new though, did we?— though, did we? not really. he believes that _ though, did we? not really. he believes that the _ though, did we? not really. he believes that the only - though, did we? not really. he believes that the only reason . though, did we? not really. he - believes that the only reason more than 100 israeli hostages were released was because of relentless military pressure. that is a message that has been delivered from the prime minister on down for several weeks now. and they really believe thatis weeks now. and they really believe that is why people have been set free. the negotiations to keep that exchange of hostages and prisoners broke down. israel accusing hamas of reneging on a promise to release all female prisoners and so that is why we have seen this return to military action, which the israeli government is arguing, will be the start of building up pressure again on hamas in the hope that it will convince them to release more hostages in the future. that is the theory. many israelis are apprehensive and they want to see more of their relatives, more of their friends released and there was a big rally in tel aviv tonight in which two recently released hostages addressed a vast crowd and the call was, bring them all home now. my crowd and the call was, bring them all home "ow-— crowd and the call was, bring them all home now. my next question was how ordinary — all home now. my next question was how ordinary israelis _ all home now. my next question was how ordinary israelis feel _ all home now. my next question was how ordinary israelis feel about - how ordinary israelis feel about that speech and his reasoning for resuming the war?— resuming the war? look, i think clearly israelis _ resuming the war? look, i think clearly israelis were _ resuming the war? look, i think clearly israelis were delighted i resuming the war? look, i think| clearly israelis were delighted at this spectacle of groups of hostages emerging night after night for a whole week. it really raised hopes that more people might be able to walk free and those hopes have obviously, for now, been dashed. i think most israelis share the government's determination to destroy hamas. they never want to be in the position they were in back on october the 7th where hamas was able to launch those murderous assaults on the communities of southern israel. by and large israeli support the government's objectives of removing that threat even if many israelis are unimpressed by the prime minister and indeed his government. they separate between the military objectives and their support for the prime minister himself. ., ~ ., , ., ~ support for the prime minister himself. ., ~ ., , ., , himself. paul adams, thank you very much for that- _ they are going to do by and looking at cop28, and there has been a promise to travel renewable energy by 2030. the uk, france and south korea have said they will treble their nuclear power capacity by 2050 as an alternative energy source and the major oil companies have also said they will reduce carbon emissions. a representative for pope francis delivered his message calling for lifestyle changes to save the planet. 0ur climate editor justin rowlatt reports. the pub could make it to divide, but a cardinal read his words and he said climate change has run amok and posed a question for the gathered leaders. pare posed a question for the gathered leaders. �* ., ~' posed a question for the gathered leaders. �* ., ~ ., ., leaders. are we working for a culture of— leaders. are we working for a culture of lies _ leaders. are we working for a culture of lies or— leaders. are we working for a culture of lies or a _ leaders. are we working for a culture of lies or a culture - leaders. are we working for a culture of lies or a culture of| culture of lies or a culture of death? to all of you i make this heartfelt appeal, let us choose life. let's choose the future. applause. some of the po's demands are already being addressed by the summit. he said the world must move ahead with greater energy efficiency and more renewable energy. we got pledges on both of those today. we had another new announcement from around 50 oil companies, including saudi arabia's aramco. they said they would drive down the carbon emissions from refining oil into petrol, diesel and other products to net zero by 2050. that would reduce the carbon produced by a litre of petrol by up to 15%. it's better than nothing, but really we need to stop using this stuff completely. the pope and the secretary—general of the un have both said fossil fuels need to go. the american and chinese climate envoys entered the meeting side by side, a sign of their closeness on the climate issue. gentlemen, will you commit to phasing out fossil fuels here in the uae? i you commit to phasing out fossil fuels here in the uae?— fuels here in the uae? i think ou're fuels here in the uae? i think you're going _ fuels here in the uae? i think you're going to _ fuels here in the uae? i think you're going to hear- fuels here in the uae? i think you're going to hear a - fuels here in the uae? i think you're going to hear a good . you're going to hear a good discussion in the next few days. so no public commitments today. the us vice president said america understands the challenge. the urn en understands the challenge. the urgency of _ understands the challenge. the urgency of this _ understands the challenge. the urgency of this moment is clear. the clock_ urgency of this moment is clear. the clock is_ urgency of this moment is clear. the clock is no— urgency of this moment is clear. the clock is no longerjust ticking, it is hanging _ clock is no longerjust ticking, it is banging. we need transformative change _ is banging. we need transformative change and exponential impact. and it sounds change and exponential impact. it sounds like change and exponential impact. fific it sounds like the president change and exponential impact. fi
