Hamas would protect them as assets, the argument went. These younger, fitter hostages were the ones who would survive. Instead, israel's army says they were shot by hamas in a tunnel under rafah as israeli forces battled above them. Almog seroussi, alexander lobanov, 0ri danino, eden yerushalmi, whose last words to her sister were, they've caught me. And hersh goldberg—polin, a 23—year—old us—israeli citizen, and carmel gat, a therapist who was described by other hostages as their guardian angel. Carmel�*s family said she and hersh were due to be released in a deal outlined in july. Her cousin today inconsolable. It's too late for us. It's too late for carmel. I will never hug her again. But 101 people can still hug theirfamilies. For them, make the deal. Save lives. As pressure on israel's prime minister builds, today, he blamed hamas for the failure to free the hostages. Translation: while israel is conducting intensive negotiations with the mediators in a supreme effort to reach a deal, hamas continues to firmly refuse any offer. He who murders hostages does not want a deal. A red flag at the protest today. A message to the prime minister. The last red line has been crossed. Hostages were dying, they said, as a direct result of the prime minister's failure to sign a deal. 0utside mr netanyahu's office today, they've been shouting murderer. Many people here think he simply doesn't want a deal. And if a deal is no longer possible, they say, then the hostages are no longer valuable to hamas. Hostages do not return when guns are shooting. The region does not go quiet for the time necessary to return hostages, when guns are shooting. The irony is that fighting did stop in central areas of gaza today for the start of a nine—day rolling vaccine programme delivered by the un. The discovery of gaza's first case of polio in 25 years the only thing that's paused the fighting since november. Thank god they've agreed on this, said um khalil. But we hope the war stops completely, and notjust for a couple of days. We've suffered a lot. In tel aviv tonight, these six deaths sparked new life in the protest movement, pushing for a ceasefire deal. Tens of thousands on the streets confronting benjamin netanyahu with a choice. Peace in gaza or war at home? lucy williamson, bbc news. As lucy williamson mentioned, much of israel's workforce is expected to strike on monday. It's been called by israel's largest labour union, representing 800,000 workers. A one—day walkout is expected to begin from 6am local time, less than an hour from now. Tel aviv�*s ben gurion airport is expected to be closed from 8am local time. Mark schwarzer life so busy co—ordinator for the israel—palestinian authority and he told us that netanyahu is under an unprecedented amount of pressure. Is under an unprecedented amount of pressure.

Given the tragedy that unfolded over the last 36 hours now, six hostages being killed, he has probably beenin being killed, he has probably been in greater pressure since the outset of the conflict since 7 october, and rightfully so, the families of the hostages that remain in captivity want to see the ceasefire take place in the release of their loved ones. Also important is to stop the ongoing ground conflict inside gaza to allow the humanitarian aid, the ongoing polio regimen that humanitarian communities are trying to put together and take care of palestinians. There is a host of issues are certainly what we saw transpire in the news that break of the six hostages being killed is putting him under unprecedented pressure. Putting him under unprecedented ressure. �* ,. ,. , pressure. Let's get more now with erin — pressure. Let's get more now with erin miller, _ pressure. Let's get more now with erin miller, senior pressure. Let's get more nowj with erin miller, senior fellow with erin miller, seniorfellow at the endowment for international peace and a us state department official. He helped formulate the us policy on the arab—israeli peace process. Always great to have you here. We had about the pressure that netanyahu is facing right now. Do you think these protests, the strike, will have an effect on the prime minister? will he change his stance, pushing closer to a ceasefire deal? in his stance, pushing closer to a ceasefire deal?— ceasefire deal? in my experience, ceasefire deal? in my i experience, negotiations ceasefire deal? in my experience, negotiations only close when both sides really believe that there is a need to close. A real urgency, and frankly even though the prime minister is under unprecedented pressure, his minister of defence green 20 shouting match last week and basically said you can choose to remain in the philadelphia quarter or you can redeem the hostages, you cannot do both. Nonetheless, right now if i had a bet that was conceivable, i suppose the administration is reportedly planning a final offer, that is what jake sullivan told the families of the hostages. You sa the families of the hostages. You say the biden _ families of the hostages. You say the biden administration is planning a final ceasefire offer? , offer? yes, the i nationalsecurity offer? yes, the nationalsecurity adviser offer? yes, the _ nationalsecurity adviserjake national—security adviserjake sullivan has informed the families today that the administration is seriously considering a final offer to be put to netanyahu by the end of the week but the reality is the wilful murder of these hostages seems to me to suggest that — he spent 20 years in israeli jail, speaking fluent here, he understands how to manipulate the mind and soul of the israeli public, by killing these hostages i think he has virtually ensured that netanyahu will have no choice but to stick to his positions and remain in the philadelphia corridor and the crossing, and survey his deputy issued a statement that there will be no deal unless the israeli withdraw from gaza. I think the administration is in a negotiated cul—de—sac and maybe they will present one for right now i just they will present one for right now ijust do not think they will present one for right now i just do not think that hamas or netanyahu are close to making the decisions required even to get to a phase one agreement, let's be clear, even if they sign we're talking about a limited exchange of hostages, 30 plus alive or dead, in exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners, many who were accused and convicted of killing israelis and a ceasefire, i will not bring an end to the war, hamas will retain at least a0 or 50 hostages and will give them up until the israelis agree to a permanent ceasefire and withdraw the israeli forces from gaza, so again i do not see the urgency right now. Certainly people right now in the streets of israel see the urgency and the frustration boiling over. He mentioned the tension within the israel government, the security cabinets. I want to play you a clip from the israeli opposition politician said earlier on a sunday, take a listen. Translation: the hostages _ listen. Translation: the hostages were _ listen.

Those are allegations that have been bounced around before and i think that there has been criticism and netanyahu that he values his political situation which is tenuous potentially over even a small deal to get some hostages free. ,. ,. , , free.

There is no doubt about it, the organising principle of| it, the organising principle of netanyahu's world is to stay in power, on trialfor netanyahu's world is to stay in power, on trial for bribery and fraud four years running, if he loses power and the prime minister could face a conviction or cut a plea deal which will drive them out of politics and he cannot afford to lose the seeds that he has in his coalition. If the protests denied is the beginning of massive protests and that represents 800,000 israeli workers in a population of 10 million that is extraordinary, if you were to tell me that the pressure will be sustained in the protests will literally shut down the country and put additional pressure on some members of the netanyahu coalition to neta nyahu coalition to basically netanyahu coalition to basically say we need a deal of your leaving the government, i just do not see that happening, and that is a real problem, the political inconvenient fact is that he has a coalition which is virtually unshakeable, and until there are defections which could result from continuous sustained pressure in the streets by the israeli defence force, you have the minister of defence basically engaged in unprecedented rift in the middle of a war with the prime minister, again, i do not see the sun, the moon and the stars right now aligning in favour of a quick or easy agreement, even towards phase one. . , , , , one.

The government is starting a campaign to encourage retired people to see if they are eligible for credit after only those receiving the payment will get winter fuel payments. It is estimated at around 880,000 eligible people are missing out on pension credit and urges them to check. The government says it will look at the dynamic ticket pricing model after some offence plea over the odds for a way to seekers for concerts across the uk and ireland. The tickets have gone on sale on saturday. The practice allows providers to charge a higher price with no face value tickets left. Many oasis fans are angry at that. You're live with bbc news. Polls have closed in eastern germany where the far—right alternative for germany party is on course to win a big victory in the state of thuringa with almost 33% of the vote. The party is nine points ahead of the conservative cdu and is far ahead of germany's three governing parties. This will be the first regional election the afd has won, even though it's unlikely the party will be able to form a government as it does not hold the majority of the vote. The afd is anti—immigration, wants to replace the euro with the deutschmark, and opposes the national government's approach to the war in ukraine and climate change. Demonstrators against the afd�*s projected win gathered outside the thuringia state parliament in protest. Sunday's results are being viewed as a temperature check ahead of germany's federal elections next year. 0ur correspondentjessica parker has the latest. It's written on their faces how some feel about the far—right winning the most votes in a state election for the first time in the post—war era. News of the results has just been announced here at this anti—afd demo — you can hear boos in the crowd, and just over there is the state parliament, where the far—right will now have greater influence. Right now, the fascists over here are winning. I'm not a fan of saying history is repeating itself, because i don't think so, but history sometimes is similar, and that's what's happening over here right now. I am totally worried. Actually, of course, next year also, we have the total elections for the german parliament, so i'm kind of seeing this as, like, a test for how it will work next year as well. This is alternative fur deutschland's leader in thuringia, a lightning rod for controversy. Bjorn hocke has been fined twice for knowingly using a nazi slogan, something he denied. Here, he declares a historic victory. Celebrations and afd video footage, because the media wasn't allowed in — by a party that often claims it's being persecuted and smeared. In the former communist east, this region is an afd stronghold, where the party's policies of ending weapons aid to ukraine and a tough anti—immigration message are gaining traction. Translation: the politicians have promised a lot, particularly regarding migrants and foreigners, and nothing happened, nothing. Because of germany's history, some people are really worried about the rise of the far—right. Translation: germany's history? that's what it is, history. We live in the here and now. In thuringia's capital this weekend, a night run for the public. While the afd is on the march, it will probably be excluded from power, as other parties won't work alongside it. But the result�*s a marker for change in germany, by more than a flicker. Jessica parker, bbc news, erfurt. For more on the situation, i've been speaking to dw news' political correspondent matthew moore. —— the senior counter expert from berlin. This would be the first see victory within germany for a far—right party since world war ii? germany for a farright party since world war ii? thank you for having _ since world war ii? thank you for having me, _ since world war ii? thank you for having me, yes, _ since world war ii? thank you for having me, yes, it since world war ii? thank you for having me, yes, it is since world war ii? thank you for having me, yes, it is a since world war ii? thank you for having me, yes, it is a bit| for having me, yes, it is a bit of a earthquake and the landscape of germany. Not quite unexpected, the polls were clear, the results of the european elections are very clear but it is, indeed, the first time that the afd, a right wing extremist party deemed so by the entire domestic intelligence service has achieved a victory as iris presented is concerned in the federal civil resort today. Mitt; federal civil resort today. Why ou think federal civil resort today. Why you think the _ federal civil resort today.

Number well? there is a couple of| issues here. Number one, well? there is a couple of issues here. Number one, the country, as many others in europe, experienced two crises, covid—19 and in the war against ukraine, and that we do have a complex party composition in the coalition in berlin on the federal level which altogether means there is a discontent with politics in general and germany are slightly stronger than other countries in europe. However, it is clear that this is the first election where the majority of people who voted for the afd voted so because of conviction, not as a protest. Until now in past elections it was clear that this was merely a protest vote when it came to large percentages and this time the majority for the afd were convinced that this is the best party to vote for. — party to vote for. There was the strong _ party to vote for. There was the strong performance party to vote for. There was the strong performance on | party to vote for. There was i the strong performance on the left, the populist party, what kind of voter that attract and what can be read into the fact that two extreme parties performed well? that two extreme parties performed well? the alliance did a very _ performed well? the alliance did a very strong _ performed well? the alliance did a very strong showing performed well? the alliance did a very strong showing for| did a very strong showing for the first time, the first time that they ran in both of these elections in these federal states from the get go the double digit numbers. There is a combination of activity and visibility the new party and political discontent of course is likely to focus on new faces and new ideas. The second part was they nationalise those elections, they did not really talk about any particular issues that the government of the states are actually responsible for. They primarily talked about migration in which they are very close to the afd and wanted to stop totally migration to germany and, of course, the war in ukraine where they are extremely close to russia, and what this war to end sooner rather than later. Federal elections are a year or so away. The afd is currently second in national polling. What you think the result will mean for the overall? could we see them perform well in national elections as well? in about 13 months until the national elections come up. It is clearly afd will be a significant factor but primarily of course because it just has over one third of the parliamentary seats in parliamentary seats in parliament that is the so—called blocking nullity where you can block many decisions from being taken including an appointment of judges or parliamentary control of the domestic security services, and therefore this really extremist party now has the ability to block democratic processes and governments from working, which, of course, will feed into the narrative politics are not working in germany and they always call for reform which is really a rebuilding of the political system, so this result is clearly giving them a bump for the last year before the national election. Is the last year before the national election. Is there anything _ national election. Is there anything we _ national election. Is there anything we can _ national election. Is there anything we can read national election. Is there anything we can read into | national election. Is there anything we can read into the result for europe more broadly? there are other countries where we see more success right now for far—right parties, we see more success right now forfar—right parties, france for far—right parties, france being forfar—right parties, france being the most recent. It is for farright parties, france being the most recent. It is a mixed picture, _ being the most recent. It is a mixed picture, we _ being the most recent. It is a mixed picture, we also being the most recent. It is a mixed picture, we also saw. Being the most recent. It is a mixed picture, we also saw aj mixed picture, we also saw a right—wing populist party being ousted from power in poland and we saw in france in the second round of the election and alliance of democratic parties against the right wing preventing it from gaining a significantly larger chair than the hoped—for, so there is a mixed picture but clearly there is a trend to more right wing leading parties as well as a time for populist parties. This is to do with the overall geopolitical situation primarily the massive land for a russia against ukraine but also to a certain extent the expression of a different alignment in which social media plays a much larger role and therefore allows populist messages to spread more effectively and widely, and it is also clear already from the data available for the afd single—handedly outperformed every single other party in this competition or the national competition when it comes to social media.

More on the top stories on our website. Stay with us here in bbc news. Hello there. Wiggonholt in west sussex was the country's hot spot on sunday, with temperatures hitting 30 degrees celsius, making it the hottest day of september so far. Not that we're very far into the month, of course. There was plenty of sunshine for east anglia and south east england, but rather cloudy skies for some, turned quite murky here in mousehole in cornwall. We've also seen showers and thunderstorms break out. This clump of storms that went through the north—west midlands earlier brought 1amm of rain in just the space of one hour, and over the next few hours, those heavy downpours will continue to drive northwards across northern england and into scotland as well. Probably another batch of heavy rain then developing behind that into parts of wales. All the while it will stay quite warm and muggy. Well, that takes us into monday, and monday is dominated by low pressure. We're expecting showers or some longer spells of rain. The heaviest downpours will be across northern england and scotland. Probably some thunderstorms mixed in, so there could be some localised surface water flooding. Bit of rain crosses northern ireland, brighter from western counties later in the afternoon. Probably quite murky around some of our irish sea coasts. Maybe staying dry across east anglia and south east england, where it will continue to feel quite humid and very warm. Now beyond that, as we head into tuesday, eventually we're going to start to get northwesterly winds moving back across the country, and they will bring fresher air and some slightly lower temperatures as well. Now, tuesday will probably start off with some bits and pieces of rain, probably murky weatherfor some across eastern areas to clear out of the way. Then some sunshine. A few showers followed to scotland, northern ireland and maybe one or 2 for the northwest of both england and wales. Temperatures 18 to 21. Feeling fresher, pleasant in the sunshine. From wednesday onwards, though, there's a lot of uncertainty in the weather forecast. Two scenarios — one is that we continue to see showers work into north—western areas, with the driest weather across the south and east of the uk, where we've got a ridge of high pressure. In this scenario wednesday, thursday, friday, temperatures wouldn't change very much. High teens to low 20s. A pleasant spell of weather for many. However, there is a different scenario where the weather patterns get completely flipped on their head. In this second scenario, the driest weather would end up being to the north—west of the uk, and instead towards the south—east. We could end up seeing low pressure form and wet and windy weather moving in. So there's a lot of uncertainty. Don't be surprised if the forecast changes then over the next few days.
