A truce cant come soon enough. In rafah, one more day of harrowing loss. Palestinians mourn for 14 members of the abu ansa family, most women and children. They were victims of israeli air strikes, according to Hospital Officials and gazas civil defence. There were about 35 people in the house, says farouk abu ansa. Most were children. There were no fighters. The house collapsed on them, three or four storeys. Imad cannot reach his son. He is still under there, he says. And My Brother In Law was killed, with his two children, born after years of ivf. And after five months of israeli bombardment, this is the new landscape of gaza. In israel, it has been five months of anguish for families of the hostages. They need to be released now. This weekend, they have been pleading again with their government to do a deal and get their loved ones home. Ofer is a very warm person. You can see his smile, he is a family person. He has four children, lovely children. How hard is this time for the family . This wait must seem endless. It is like hell, you know. We are in some kind of loop since the 7th of october. We are living this day every day again and again. We have only one goal all these days, to bring him back alive to his family, to his children. This is the only thing that matters. But there will be no homecoming for ofer or any of the israeli hostages without a ceasefire. A deal, if it comes, could be days away. Orla guerin, bbc news, tel aviv. In the last few minutes, Vice PresidentKamala Harris has been speaking about the war in gaza. Lets hear from her. She started on the humanitarian situation, calling on gaza to allow more aid into calling on israel to allow more aid into gaza. They must ensure humanitarian personnel and convoys are not targeted, and they must work to Restore Basic services and promote order in gaza so more food, water and fuel can reach those in need. As i have said repeatedly since october seven, israel has a right to defend itself, and President Joe Biden and i are unwavering in our commitment to israels security. Hamas cannot control gaza. The threat hamas poses to the people of israel must be eliminated. Hamas is a brutal Terrorist Organisation that has vowed to repeat october seven again and again until israel is annihilated. Hamas has shown no regard for innocent life, including for the people of gaza, who have suffered under its rule for almost two decades. Hamas still holds dozens of hostages, for nearly 150 days now, innocent men and women, including american citizens, who were brutally taken from their homes and from a concert. I will repeat, the threat of hamas poses to israel must be eliminated, and given the immense scale of suffering in gaza, there must be an immediate ceasefire. She also said that there is a deal on the table, and hamas needs to agree to that deal. She said a six week ceasefire would get hostages out and get a significant amount of aid in.

Of course, she started with the Current Situation in gaza, and she made clear that the United States government is aware of the steps that the Israeli Government has taken to exacerbate the situation in the gaza strip. She talked about the need for allowing order to take place, which refers to israeli targeting of palestinian policeman, because they might have contacts with hamas, even though they are trying to maintain orderfor age to get into the gaza strip. She spoke about the restrictions that israeli officials have put on aid coming into the gaza strip, allowing israeli protesters to block aid coming in, which is anotherform of collective punishment. She talked about the targeting of gaza, and no one can look at the death and devastation of the last five months and not realise or go back to the initial statement of the israeli Prime Minister, when he spoke about israeli vengeance on the gaza strip. Now, that aside, she spoke very forcefully about their need of hamas to step up and do the things necessary to get their ceasefire in place. She called them out absolutely correctly on the initial attack, on the lack of concern for the fact that that attack led to the israeli retaliation. So she was very strong on both sides, making clear that the United States still once a ceasefire to take place and to take place soon. fix, ceasefire to take place and to take place soon ceasefire to take place and to take lace soon. � ,. ,. , place soon.

But mr netanyahu is familiar with that, because he certainly became during the Obama Administration without following the channels. They are looking for a way to lower the temperature between the United States and israel. When you think about the full throated support, even today, the Vice President reiterated, for her and the president for israel and israelis, there is a very strong criticism of how israel has conducted this attack in the gaza strip. He is coming to see if he can help, if he can lower the temperature between the sides. The United States is interesting in doing that as well, and the way the United States sees that Going Forward is getting a Ceasefire Put in place, and we will see whether he can help.

It seems that the Sticking Point, as far as israel is point, as far as israel is concerned, the naming of the hostages that hamas is willing to hand over, because it doesnt seem clear which of them is still alive. That exact right. And it will be very important as to why hamas has not exceeded to this request. There will be two reasons for that, either the news will not be good and hamas is reluctant to have that out there before the deal is done, or, harking back to the fact that we all understand that hamas may not control or have full knowledge of all of the hostages that are in the gaza strip, remembering that other groups took hostages as well as hamas, so they may not be able to provide the information that the israelis want, or there are reasons for them to withhold it. But they need the ceasefire as much as any of the sites need the ceasefire. And the sites need the ceasefire. And very much the sites need the ceasefire. And very much for the sites need the ceasefire. And very much for the the sites need the ceasefire. And very much for the biden administration, politically, at home, they need a ceasefire as well. Absolutely. This hasjust gone home, they need a ceasefire as well. Absolutely. This has just gone from bad to worse. Its clearly taking a toll on the president s political standing. I dont think it will have an effect in november, but it is something the administration is watching very carefully, increasing numbers of americans are dissatisfied with the way the Israeli Government is prosecuting this war. Keeping in mind that the United States warned them from the beginning, the president said, we made mistakes, do not make the same ones. There is nobody who believes that the government of israel has a clear way forward at this point, and it is making a hash of it for everyone. It is making a hash of it for everyone it is making a hash of it for everyone.

Here in the uk, the chancellor says he wants to find a way now its time for a look at todays sport. Hello from the bbc sport centre. Manchester city are back to within a point of liverpool at the top of the English Premier League after coming from behind to win the manchester derby. 18 goals now for phil foden this season, he scored twice, turning the game around after Marcus Rashford had given united the lead. Erling haaland wrapped up a 3 1 win in stoppage time. The result means if city beat liverpool when both sides play at anfield next sunday, theyll go top, but manager Pep Guardiola didnt want to talk too much about the title race afterwards instead paying tribute to his star striker foden. He is the best player right now in the premier league. With the amount of things he does, he is unbelievable. I think he loves to play football, he lives for football. With Weight Training Sessions and playing games. It is a joy, and of course his work ethic is unbelievable. Two, iwould say, defining moments, when we almost made a breakthrough. We consideed the first goal and also the second goal was a defining moment. Then you are disappointed. We have to accept it, but it is what it is. Still, i think we had the opportunity to at least get one point, but also the win was possible. Vincent kompany� s burnley remain joint bottom of the premier league, 11 points from safety, after defeat at home to bournemouth. Andoni iraolas side 2 0 winners at turf moor with Antoine Semenyo with their second goal. The victory moves them 11 points clear of the bottom three. In the end, winning or losing, i have in the end, winning or losing, i have been in the end, winning or losing, i have been in the game long enough to note that have been in the game long enough to note that we dont always control that output, that final ball that puts into that output, that final ball that puts into the back of the net. You have puts into the back of the net. You have to puts into the back of the net. You have to rely puts into the back of the net. You have to rely on your players to turn the comet have to rely on your players to turn the corner. That is really important. Bayer leverkusen are ten points clear at the top of the german bundesliga, after victory in their derby at cologne. Jeremie frimpong and Alex Grimaldo scored the goals in a 2 0 win which makes it 2a games unbeaten in the league for xabi alonsos side.

American Shelby Mcewan claimed silver and the previous indoor champion sang hyeok woo of south korea won bronze. You can follow more on that on the bbc sport website as that comes to a close in the next hour. That is the sport for now. Here in the uk, the chancellor says he wants to find a way to bring down the tax burden, but insists hell do it in a way thats responsible. Jeremy hunt will set out the governments tax and Spending Plans on wednesday, with growing calls within the Conservative Party to bring down taxes. Labour said there was no measure that could be announced that would improve the conservatives record in power. 0ur political correspondent, harry farley, reports. All eyes on this man. Jeremy hunt is facing calls from some for more money in defence or housing. Others want tax cuts. The chancellor was giving little away as he arrived this morning, but he did give this hint. I do want, where its possible to do so responsibly, to move towards a lower tax economy. And i hope to show a path in that direction. But this will be a prudent and responsible budget for long term growth. Something he is thinking about is nicking labours idea to raise money by scrapping the non doms Tax Exemption for people who Live In The Uk but whose main home is abroad. But that could be awkward. You said, these are foreigners who could live easily in ireland, france, portugal or spain. They all have these schemes. I would rather they stayed here and spent their money here. Do you want to take that back . Let me say this. The country sees through gimmicks, and we are not going to do gimmicks on wednesday. Jeremy hunt is under enormous pressure from his own mp to deliver tangible tax cuts, ones that people feel in their pockets. Many conservative backbenchers see this week, when the chancellor steps out of number 11 Downing Street to deliver his budget, as the last opportunity before a general election to close the gap between their party and labour. So if the chancellor does cut taxes, would labour reverse them to have more money to spend . We think the tax burden should be lower. We think the tax burden is too high. It is set to be the highest in 70 years. We have also been clear that we would only want to see taxes cut in a responsible way and we want to make sure we get the economy growing because that is the way to make People Better off and to make sure Public Services have the funding they need.
