israel has intensified its military operations in the south of the gaza strip. the idf says it's hit more than 400 targets since a week—long truce between israel and hamas collapsed on friday. this is live outside al nasser hospital in khan younis. a place that many people in the north have lied to. —— —— fled to. palestinian health officials say at least 200 and a0 people have been killed since the end of the truce. at least seven palestinians were killed in an israeli attack in the early hours of sunday near rafah. we're also keeping an eye on what's happening further north. this is the view from southern israel, looking at the gaza skyline. all this as israel has come under renewed pressure from top figures in the biden administration. the defence secretary, lloyd austin has said israel driving the civilian population into the arms of the enemy — and that would be a strategic defeat. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega has the latest. khan younis in southern gaza. palestinians have been seeking safety here. now, a target for israel's attacks. explosion hamas leaders are thought to be hiding in khan younis and people have been told to evacuate further south. the bombing of the city was the heaviest in the war so far residents say. translation: the israelis told us | that khan younis was a safe zone, | which led us to flee here. now, even khan younis has become a war zone. where are we supposed to go? our children are stranded on the streets. this was the scene when aid arrived in khan younis. 100 lorries with humanitarian supplies entered gaza from egypt yesterday. aid agencies say it's still not enough. chanting in israel, the agonising wait continues for the families of the hostages who remain in gaza. around 140 people are still captive. hamas says no—one will be freed until there's a permanent ceasefire. in tel aviv last night, thousands gathered to call for the release of the hostages. yelena trupanov, who's 50, was freed with her motherjust two days ago. her husband vitaly was killed by hamas. theirson, sasha, remains in captivity. translation: i'm happy and excited to stand here in front of you. - i came to say thank you because without you i wouldn't be here. and now we have to go back and get my sasha. the rally was interrupted by blaring sirens warning of the risk of incoming rockets. prime minister netanyahu spoke for the first time since the end of the ceasefire. he insisted military pressure was the only way to free the captives. translation: we will continue the war until we achieve - all its goals, and it's impossible to achieve those goals without the ground operation. from israel's main ally, the united states, a clear message — it cannot repeat in the south what it did in the north. i have repeatedly made clear to israel's leaders that protecting palestinian civilians in gaza is both a moral responsibility and a strategic imperative. talks between israel and hamas have collapsed. the families of the hostages hope for them to come home. in gaza, people hope the guns will once again fall silent. hugo bachega, bbc news. earlier, mark regev senior adviser to the prime minister of israel spoke to the bbc about what will happen to gaza once the israeli government eliminates hamas. it will be a better situation, because hamas has been controlling gaza for 16 years, not only has that been terrible and terrific for the people of israel, but that has been very sad for the people of gaza. what has hamas brought the gaza strip and the palestinians in gaza over the last 16 years? poverty? bloodshed? misery? surely the people of gaza deserve better than this extremist terror regime but doesn't give a hoot about the well—being of the people of gaza, and is happy to sacrifice the very last gazan as long as they can advance their crazy agenda. joining me now is our correspondent hugo bachega. that is an important part of the story, what happens if and when israel manages to remove hamas. what happens after that?— happens after that? there's been discussions _ happens after that? there's been discussions about _ happens after that? there's been discussions about the _ happens after that? there's been discussions about the palestinian | discussions about the palestinian authority which controls the west bank, the other palestinian territory, taking control of the situation in gaza. it is something that has been discussed, not only in israel but also by israel's partners, the americans, in particular. the main concern is about what is happening in gaza right now as this is really offensive continues. we've been talking about the humanitarian situation in gaza and how the situation in gaza and how the situation has been desperate for the population there, because they have been widespread shortages of basic supplies, humanitarian aid, the aid that has been delivered right now, the un aid agencies have said that it isn't simply not enough to meet gaza's needs. we see pictures of hospitals now completely overwhelmed by the high number of casualties wallowing these recent attacks, having to operate with very limited resources. there is a lot of discussion about what is going to happen after and if hamas is removed from power in gaza, but the situation right now is very concerning.— situation right now is very concerning. situation right now is very

few days ago, saying publicly that israel needed to act according to international humanitarian law. if they are saying these things in public like that, does it suggest that they think israel is not listening to what they are telling them behind the scenes?- listening to what they are telling them behind the scenes? i think it's very interesting _ them behind the scenes? i think it's very

interesting to see that there i very interesting to see that there has been a change in the states coming from senior american officials. the us defence secretary said yesterday that it was a moral responsibility to protect the civilian population of gaza, essentially suggesting that the ferocity of the attacks in gaza could drive people to support hamas. essentially saying you could be driving the population into your enemy's arms, i think those were hers words —— his words. it also antony blinken singh israel has the right to defend itself, but too many palestinians have already been killed in gaza. the message is clear here, israel needs to do more to protect the palestinian population, the civilian population of gaza as it goes ahead with this offensive. israel should not repeat in the south what it did in the north. northern gaza was the focus of the initial phase of the israeli offensive, you can see now that most offensive, you can see now that most of the attacks, many of the attacks, have been focused on southern areas of the gaza strip, especially khan younis, which is a major city in the south, hundreds of thousands of people have been sheltering in khan younis after fleeing northern gaza, and this is where members of the hamas leadership are believed to be hiding. it is a very desperate situation for the population there. thank you, hugo. let's talk a bit more about that international political element. i spoke earlier to jane kinninmont, policy and impact director, european leadership network. i started by asking her what she thought of the prospects of forging a new deal between israel and hamas. to replace the one that broke down. there will eventually be another attempt, but it's very unclear what a sustainable political way out of this might look like. so, what you've seen is that there was an agreement between israel and hamas because each was able to give the other something that they wanted. but ultimately, everybody knew that they were going to go back to fighting. and in the end, it seems hamas thought that since fighting was going to resume anyway, they might as well keep some of the women hostages so that they still had a bargaining card to play in the future. the kind of deeper problem here is that it's very unclear what will happen. what will happen, even if israel does manage to defeat hamas militarily, much of the rest much of the rest of the world thinks there needs to be a return of the palestinian authority or some wider palestinian leadership that can take the palestinians down a peaceful road to a state, but benjamin netanyahu is telling his own people that he will never let that happen. so there is this bigger looming question of what the future can look like and how there can be a peaceful solution. how much is benjamin netanyahu's decision—making being driven by the fragility of his own political position, because israel was a deeply split nation before the 7th of october, wasn't it? so how much is that impacting the decisions that he's making now? this is definitely a major factor because it is generally assumed that after the war he will be replaced. now, he is a long—time political survivor, things could change. but many of his own supporters really lost faith in him because of what happened on october 7th and the way that it's been seen as a major security failure by the israeli states, as well as obviously a dramatic and illegal operation and change in strategy from hamas. so this will be a factor as well. and the families of the hostages, of course, are leading a lot of protests inside israel. interesting on that point as well, the hostage family forum have also said that they are demanding an urgent meeting with israel's security cabinet, and still, haven't yet 18 hours after asking, had that meeting. we'll keep you up—to—date with that story from here in jerusalem through the day today on bbc news, but let's head back to london. over to you, azadeh. to france now — where one person has been killed and two others, including a british man, have been injured, in a knife and hammer attack in central paris. the french interior minister gerard darmanin has said the attacker targeted tourists around quai de grenelle — which is close to the eiffel tower. now, this was the sequence of events. the suspect fatally stabbed a german national. the man was then pursued by police and attacked two other people with a hammer, before being stopped with a taser and arrested. the suspect is a 26—year—old french national. officials say the man was known to authorities in france, for trying to stage another attack in 2016. french anti—terror prosecutors say they will be taking over the investigation. here's what the french interior minister told reporters — about the suspect. translation: he told police officers he was angry - at what happened in gaza. and he said that france is complicit in what israel is doing and he was fed up of seeing muslims dying. for more on this story here's our correspondent, hugh schofield. it seems quite clear that there is a link with what's happening in gaza, that it's spill—over. this man is a man, french national of iranian parents, born in neuilly—sur—seine, which is a very rich part of paris and lives with his parents now in the suburbs, so it doesn't look like he fits any kind of classic profile that we've heard recently of lone, lone wolf attackers. on the other hand, in the sense that he's not from a deprived cite or banlieue. on the other hand, quite clearly he does have a record. in 2016, he was found guilty of planning an attack in la defense, the business district west of paris, in western paris, and was sentenced to five years in prison, came out in 2020, at which point it was clear that he had psychiatric problems as well and was to follow a treatment, a course of treatment. and what gerald darmanin, the interior minister, was saying there, was that one of the key questions is going to be whether that treatment was being followed. i think it's a conclusion that everyone is taking as read, at least in a kind of preliminary way, that there was a link with what's happening in gaza in that events over there and the publicity surrounding it and news surrounding it, as would have triggered him into doing what he was obviously kind of predisposed to do anyway, having this psychiatric problem and a past record of radicalisation and was on a kind of watch list for the intelligence services. that was hugh schofield. a major incident has been declared by police in the north of england after heavy snowfall caused huge disruption and challenging conditions on the roads. people are being urged to stay away from cumbria and only travel if it is absolutely necessary. a yellow weather warning has been issued across the midlands, northern england and wales. scotland has alsdo been hit. with the latest, here's louisa pilbeam. the northwest of england has seen up to 15 centimetres of snow in the last 2a hours. in kendal, cars came to a standstill. on the motorway near tebay, drivers were stuck for hours. in grasmere, more people were stranded in their vehicles. and in ambleside, these scenes meant drivers were told to leave their cars and make their way to an emergency refuge. paul smith was one of those stuck there for hours. the snowjust came down, and as you can see now, the road all the way down is still blocked, we're still about 1.5 miles from ambleside, and it's just been like literally moving ten yards, stopping again. this was ant brett's view from his car on the a595 in cumbria on his way to a family wedding. he said he was stuck for 19 hours without food or water or any help from emergency services. siren wails cumbria police and the area's fire and rescue service urged people not to take to the roads. a spokesperson for cumbria constabulary said: communities have been opening local centres for people to stay. many of our community have got that cumbria spirit where they'll crack open hotels and bed and breakfasts and help people out there who are tourists or even just visiting just for the day or even on holiday. with the snow, ice and cold disrupting transport, there is also an amber cold health alert issued by the uk health security agency that remains in place forfive regions in england, including the northwest. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. let's look at dubai now, and the latest from the united nations climate summit cop28. the focus today is health, recovery and peace. experts say global warming is already having a

to the summit here in dubai, with all that being an ounce earlier. here from dubai, stay tuned for more at the top of the error. —— top of the hour. hello. the focus continues to switch from snow to rain through this coming week. out there for the rest of the day, still some snow flurries around across eastern scotland and we could see some on the tops of the welsh hills. but here and across much of central southern england, we're talking outbreaks of rain rather than snow and with a bit of brightness between some downpours across the far south northwest across the far south. northwest england, much of scotland and northern ireland will have a dry afternoon. there will be some lingering mist and low cloud for some where temperatures will struggle to get above freezing. and indeed, across scotland, even with some sunshine, some sheltered valleys will stay subzero all day long. but 11 degrees possible in the south, where tonight another surge of wetter weather, some heavy rain at times and some gusty winds spreading its way northwards. snow showers could be quite frequent in eastern scotland, adding to an ice risk here. and there could be ice anywhere where the ground is damp or the snow lying on the ground from, say, north midlands northwards. and on the dividing line between that and the milder air in the south, tomorrow morning's rush hour, monday morning rush hour, the tops of the pennines, the welsh hills could see quite a bit of snowfall at times. rain mainly to lower levels, but even to some low levels we could see a slight dusting of snow temporarily as we see that cold air and mild air fight its way out. much of southern england, it'll be rain on and off. it'll be rain mixed with sleet and snow across the rest of northern england later in the day. further snow flurries in eastern scotland, west of scotland, northern ireland enjoying the driest and brightest of the day's weather. now, temperature wise, actually up on recent days at around 5 to 8 degrees for many, but with strong winds, it will feel cold. a raw wind will be blowing. all linked to the area of low pressure, bringing us a weather pressure bringing us our weather tomorrow that will be slowly pushing its way eastwards through the night and into tuesday. frosty, icy start through parts of scotland, northern ireland, eastern wales, central eastern england, cloudy. outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow. quite windy, too. that becomes confined to east anglia, the southeast later. most, though, will finish the day with sunny spells and still quite cold too to around seven degrees. cold, two to around seven degrees. remember added wind chill in the south east corner. ice tonight will follow, but things change later in the week of several winds coming from the north east. they're going to start to come from the south as an air of low pressure, pushes a little bit further north than the ones we've seen of late. and that means temperatures will rise for all later this week. the price to pay, though, will be more cloud, more wind and at times more in the way of rain. take care. this is bbc news, the headlines: with no let up in israel“s intensified bombing campaign in southern

of the county. last night, hundreds of motorists and hikers were stranded for up to 19 hours. several roads have been closed, and there's an amber weather warning in place. local police are urging people not to travel on sunday unless necessary. we can go straight to one of the worst affected areas, ambleside, where we can speak to harrison ward, also known as the fell foodie. harrison has been

doesn't take much for that to be shut down. there was a couple of crashes out there, people couldn“t deal with the snow. reports of a bus spinning and that brings the whole road to a standstill. i was down in the town just popping into the town where i live, and you can see the traffic beginning to pile up, people struggling to move on the snow. literally a few hours later, most cars maybe got 100

like this for the eight years i have been in ambleside. some reports from people in the area said it used to be like this further back. literally in the space of three or four hours, went from zero snow the previous night to a good seven inches in ambleside and reports of 12 inches further down south in the valley. it sounds impossible to prepare for if it happened that quickly. what does that

tell us about that? it what more can you tell us about that? , ., what more can you tell us about that? , . ., . , that? it is an article sir keir starmer — that? it is an article sir keir starmer wrote _ that? it is an article sir keir starmer wrote in _ that? it is an article sir keir starmer wrote in the - that? it is an article sir keir| starmer wrote in the sunday telegraph today. he sets out his stall, as he has been, about what he wants to do as a labour prime minister, the tone he wants to set. he talks about the three post—war leaders in the uk that he most admires, talks about clement attlee and tony blair, both labour. but rather more surprisingly to some, margaret thatcher, of course, very much known as a free—market conservative prime minister. he says in this article, he says margaret thatcher sought to drag britain out of its stupor by setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism. he says, even though you don't necessarily agree with what she did, he admires her sense of purpose and mission, the fact she had a plan. that her sense of purpose and mission, the fact she had a plan.— the fact she had a plan. that is desiuned the fact she had a plan. that is designed to — the fact she had a plan. that is designed to appeal _ the fact she had a plan. that is designed to appeal to - the fact she had a plan. that is designed to appeal to a - the fact she had a plan. that is designed to appeal to a lot - the fact she had a plan. that is designed to appeal to a lot of i designed to appeal to a lot of conservative voters, but at the same time it will upset some on the left of his own party, for whom she remains a very controversial figure. the shadow minister, jonathan reynolds was asked about this on the laura kuenssberg programme a short while ago and this is what he had to say. the point that keir is making is that he has changed the labour party and on the strength of that he can go to people and say we can change the country. and there have been prime ministers who've done that. i would think of attlee, blair, but thatcher is someone, even though i wouldn't support her politics, iwould recognise she was that force for change. and at the next election, if people want change, it's the labour party that will be the vehicle to do that. if they want more of the same, they can have that with the conservatives. but keir is in a position now to say, look, if you want change, if you want national renewal, labour is the vehicle to do that. what do you most admire about margaret thatcher? well, as i've said, i think you can separate out the policy agenda. i mean, as you know, i come from a mining town in county durham, so on a political level, her policies, not something i'd be sympathetic to, but i would certainly recognise her as a formidable opponent, you know, an opponent you'd have to respect who had an agenda, who implemented that agenda. there was big change after the 19705. we don't need to discuss that. but there are prime ministers who make a difference, who do change the future of the country, who do come with that consistent and combined agenda that changes the path of the country. we've seen that in the past. we haven't had that for the last 13 years. we've had, you know, things year to year, prime minister to prime minister. it's quite hard to even keep track of them, let alone their agendas. there are people, however, who do do it differently and i think i can recognise in someone like thatcher, someone who did that, even if i wouldn't support the specific policies that she had. this argument that keir starmer is making, he said you can split apart the politics, whether you agree with that or not and the mission and the sense of purpose. i am sadly old enough to remember the 1997 election when tony blair won and had a meeting shortly after with margaret thatcher, who came into downing street, at the time, very controversial with many on the left of her party. but what this speaks to is, number one, about how far the labour party has changed in recent years. but also, sir keir starmer“s knowledge that if he is going to get that majority he seeks out the next general election, he needs conservative voters to come over to labour and for many of them, margaret thatcher remains a very, very popular figure. margaret thatcher remains a very, very popular figure-— very popular figure.

let“s on our website so look for some analysis. let's move on to wider europe now... leaders from right—wing and far—right parties are meeting in florence today to launch their campaign for elections to the european parliament, which take place nextjune. the gathering, which is expected to draw around 2,000 participants, has been convened by matteo salvini, leader of italy's far right league party, and has prompted a call for counter—protests in florence. for more on the event, i spoke to our rome correspondent mark lowen. i expect it to be the leaders of about a dozen or so parties from right across europe. they“re from the right wing and the far right. now, they've been convened, as you say, by matteo salvini, who had hoped that the star attraction would be geert wilders, the far right populist leader of the netherlands, who actually just won the recent elections, as you'll remember. but he is now he has now said he's too busy with dutch coalition building, so he has to stay back. and madeleine le pen, who is the leading figure of france's national rally of the far right party there, has also said she“ll only address it by video message. so that is a blow to mr salvini that those two figures will be absent. but there will be representatives from right across europe, from estonia to austria to the czech republic to germany, all very much reflecting the fact that right across europe, really everywhere you look, the right wing and the hard right is surging amidst this climate of frustration at a recent wave of a constant wave, actually, of migration that is driving support to the far right. weariness in some quarters over public continued support for ukraine. and also, of course, anger over the rising cost of living that is all driving continued support for the right wing and the far right. and mark, it's also younger voters that are being drawn. right, because you mentioned geert wilders there. he did well with younger voters. marine le pen last year in their runoff presidential elections did well as well with younger voters. what“s drawing them to the far right? i think there's a feeling of frustration and disenchantment with the sort of establishment centre left in many parts of europe. and yes, it is notjust a generational thing. i mean, when you look at, for example, italy, which elected its first prime minister, first female prime minister last year, but also a prime minister whose party has its roots in fascism. she denies any links with her party“s fascist past. but she is the most right wing prime minister since the second world war in italy, and a lot of her supporters were younger. so, you know, you are seeing a general rightward shift, i think. and i think from what salvini is trying to do in florence today is to kind of capitalise on this mood of disenchantment among many parts of the european electorate and to try to seize the moment really ahead of those european elections injune. and i think even though there will be le pen and wilders absent from that meeting, the mood in flower in france among these far right leaders is going to be confident that they can win big given those elections injune. let s get some of the day s other news: local authorities in the southern philippines say four people have been killed and at least 42 injured, in an explosion in a university gymnasium in the city of marawi. the regional police director, brigadier—general allan cruz nobleza, said the blast occurred as a group gathered for a catholic mass. the uk“s foreign secretary, david cameron, will travel to washington dc next week to discuss the war in ukraine. lord cameron says he wants to reassure us leaders that the united kingdom will "stay the course, and galvanise allies too." train drivers continue their strike action as part of a long—running dispute over pay. the avanti west coast, chiltern, great northern thameslink, and wmt train companies will be affected today. the aslef union has also imposed an overtime ban over the strike period. the government of peru has announced that it's increasing the number of tourists allowed at the fifteenth century inca citadel, of machu picchu — that“s its most famous historical site. the move is aimed at helping tourism rebound, after the decline suffered during the covid pandemic. welljust a short time ago we were hearing from the latest from cop28 in dubai. wetter and warmer conditions, brought about by climate change, mean that mosquitoes can survive in more places around the world. and that can have a "profound effect" on global health according to experts. in fact, cases of tropical diseases are now being seen in europe — but scientists are investigating ways to predict where outbreaks will happen in the future. here's more from the bbc“s victoria gill. tiny and troublesome — these mosquitoes are one of the two species known to transmit the dengue virus. scientists say that as our climate becomes warmer and wetter, it“s helping these insects to spread into new areas. if you'd told that, when i started many years ago, i would be focusing on the uk for mosquito—borne diseases, that would've really surprised me. however, what we're seeing in other countries has given us a warning that this could be something that could be a significant problem for us in the future. climate change is not the only driver but it's helping to fuel a global surge in this tropical disease. there has been a huge increase in the number of cases of dengue globally in the past two decades. it's now spreading in new areas, including europe. in the year 2000, 500,000 cases globally were reported to the world health organization. in 2023, 4.5 million cases have been reported. the mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. not everyone the insects bite will develop the virus and for most that do, the fifa lasts about seven the fever lasts about seven days and the majority of people fully recover. but in developing countries where it's already widespread, dengue is taking more of a toll. in bangladesh, earlier this year, an outbreak killed nearly 1,000 people. it was linked to the hotter, wetter monsoons. that's why scientists, funded by the wellcome trust, are working to stay a step ahead of this disease. with a combination of on the ground surveillance for mosquitoes and new technology, researchers are developing tools to predict where outbreaks are most likely to happen. we're gathering data from global climate products, from satellite images, from field campaigns to collect data from drones and weather sensors and when we combine all this information, we can develop models that can then allow us to predict the risk in advance and help target those interventions. sunday is the first health day of the cop28 un climate talks. experts hope this official recognition of how our health is linked to climate change will help strengthen the ambition to slash global emissions quickly. climate change has a profound impact on our health and we must ensure that climate action is designed with both health and justice at the heart. mosquitoes have no regard for international borders. here in the uk, traps for the insects are set at sites where they're most likely to arrive, like ports and airports, so they can be quickly eradicated. it's just a little black bucket with a polystyrene block and some water. so, an invasive aedes will come in and she will lay her eggs just on the polystyrene block above the water. 0k. and then, you pick up the block, see if there's any eggs on it. if there are, then we can look to identify them. what do the eggs look like? you can see how tiny and inconspicuous they are. they look like dust. they do — they“re easy to miss. wow. the problem is not going to go away, so more attention, more funding and more focus on these type of issues is welcomed. victoria gill, bbc news. there is more from victoria gill on bbc website including reading how climate is being challenged by scientists specifically, climate field diseases are being tackled by scientists. venezeulans are voting in a referendum over whether the coutnry should create its own state in the disputed region with neighbouring guyana. it's a move denouced by guyana as a step towards annexation, raising concerns in the region of a possible military conflict. voters will be expected to say whether they agree with creating a new state in thejungled region, and providing its population with venezeuelan citizenship. the region itself has long been the subject of a terriorital claim by venezuela — but the leftist government under nicholas maduro has taken heightened interest in it after oil deposits were discovered offshore in 2015 — which has boosted guyana“s economy. our latin america correspondent, will grant, is following the story. the claim behind this referendum is almost 200 years old, the dispute between guyana and venezuela over this territory dating back to colonial times. but it's really come into sharp focus now, particularly with the discovery of oil and gas deposits in the essequibo region. now, the government of nicolas maduro is going to ask the people of venezuela five questions and the fifth one specifically relates to whether or not this region should be, as it puts it, "incorporated" into the venezuelan territory. exactly what that would mean going forward is hard to know. it's not a binding referendum but it would give the maduro government, i think, the backing that it needs to continue to sort of push the agenda, both on the international sphere and, at one point, if ever it became necessary, i suspect they're not ruling out military action in the future. for now, it should be stressed that the defence minister has said that's not on the agenda but he did say "for now". this is a region which is very, very important for guyana“s economy. it“s given it a huge shot in the arm in recent years. the oil and gas deposits discovered offshore have helped the gdp of guyana grow by about 60% last year. it“s expected to do the same by 25% this year, at least. so, it's very clear that it's an important region to the country — one that 300,000 of its people live in. that said, the maduro government has always made it clear that it sees the territory as part of venezuela and i think, in a sense, this vote is being seen as a real litmus test ahead of the presidential election next year, just to see how far mr maduro can still mobilise his support. that was phil grant. stay with us now for the weather. hello. the focus continues to switch from snow to rain through this coming week. out there for the rest of the day, still some snow flurries around across eastern scotland and we could see some on the tops of the welsh hills. but here and across much of central southern england, we're talking outbreaks of rain rather than snow and with a bit of brightness between some downpours across the far south. northwest england, much of scotland and northern ireland will have a dry afternoon. there will be some lingering mist and low cloud for some where temperatures will struggle to get above freezing. and indeed, across scotland, even with some sunshine, some sheltered valleys will stay subzero all day long. but 11 degrees possible in the south, where tonight another surge of wetter weather, some heavy rain at times and some gusty winds spreading its way northwards. snow showers could be quite frequent in eastern scotland, adding to an ice risk here. and there could be ice anywhere where the ground is damp or the snow lying on the ground from, say, north midlands northwards. and on the dividing line between that and the milder air in the south, tomorrow morning's rush hour, monday morning rush hour, the tops of the pennines, the welsh hills could see quite a bit of snowfall at times. rain mainly to lower levels, but even to some low levels we could see a slight dusting of snow temporarily as we see that cold air and mild air fight its way out. much of southern england, it'll be rain on and off. it'll be rain mixed with sleet and hill snow across the rest of northern england later in the day. further snow flurries in eastern scotland, west of scotland, northern ireland enjoying the driest and brightest of the day's weather. now, temperature wise, actually up on recent days at around 5 to 8 degrees for many, but with strong winds, it will feel cold. a raw wind will be blowing. all linked to the area of low pressure bringing us our weather tomorrow that will be slowly pushing its way eastwards through the night and into tuesday. frosty, icy start through parts of scotland, northern ireland, eastern wales, central eastern england, cloudy. outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow. quite windy, too. that becomes confined to east anglia, the southeast later. most, though, will finish the day with sunny spells and still quite cold, two to around seven degrees. remember added wind chill in the south east corner. ice tonight will follow, but things change later in the week of several winds coming from the north east. they're going to start to come from the south as an air of low pressure, pushes a little bit further north than the ones we've seen of late. and that means temperatures will rise for all later this week. the price to pay, though, will be more cloud, more wind and at times more in the way of rain. take care. live from jerusalem, this is bbc news. with no let—up in israel“s intensified bombing campaign in southern gaza, hamas officials say 700 palestinians have
