last night, calling for urgent and humanitarian causes, saying that all parties must respect that resolution and that there must be a rapid and unimpeded humanitarian assistance to the population, including the provision of fuel. so, that is volker turk, the un human rights chief, laying out his findings in geneva. we wait to see what the response is by israel and the other side, by the palestinian side. in recent days, the israelis have accused multiple offices of the un of ignoring the suffering of the israelis who continue to mourn the loss of some 1200 people in the attacks, and whose trauma deepens as they wait for news of the hostages, 240 he remain under hamas activity. the palestinians have also criticised the un security council

resolution that was passed at the un security council leg last night, and they have released updated figures on casualties from their side, say more than 11,500 people have died in the conflict. meanwhile, diplomacy continues, led by qatar, to mediate and try to reach some kind of hostage release deal, in which we understand some 50 hostages could be released from hamas activity in return for a similar number of palestinian women and children held by israel. and a humanitarian ceasefire of some days, perhaps up to five days. reports on the israeli media today that the israeli cabinet is very much divided on whether or not to accept that deal. those are the latest developments from this region. we will continue to monitor what is happening inside gaza, where the israeli military operation continues in al—shifa hospital and the israelis are continuing to

provide information and proof come in their words, of what they have found in the hospital. they are calling it a hamas command centre, they have provided footage and photographs of weapons that they say were stashed and concealed inside al—shifa hospital. some analysts telling as an bbc news that it seems to fall short somewhat of what the israelis had claimed in recent days, that al—shifa hospital was, in the words of the defence minister, the beating heart of the hamas operation. we will continue to bring you the development is right across this region, but i think i can hand you back an hour to sarah in london. thank you for bringing us up to date with the situation. let's bring you up—to—date with some of the rest of the news. the former prime minister, david cameron, has held talks with president zelensky in kyiv, on his first official trip as foreign secretary.

lord cameron said he wanted ukraine to be his first destination in his new role, to which he was appointed by rishi sunak on monday. for more, here's our correspondent james waterhouse in kyiv. this was a surprise meeting. david cameron, as you say, told president zelensky he wanted ukraine to be his first official visit and these are friendly soils shall we say for a british minister. why? well, the uk is seen as one of ukraine's staunchest allies and the former prime minister, borisjohnson, who was in charge during the full—scale invasion, who was a... instructed his government to supply several, well endless military aid to ukraine. i think that is why lord cameron referenced his successor borisjohnson, saying we disagreed on this things, but support for ukraine was one of the finest

things that his government did. it is interesting when david cameron was prime minister, that was in 2014, when russia embarked on this campaign of aggression against ukraine and the uk and other western allies chose to instead impose sanctions on russia, to condemn the actions of vladimir putin when he annexed crimea. speaker koh i wonder what he thinks now, being back in the country, as it is on the receiving end of a full—scale invasion. nevertheless this was a very warm meeting. mr cameron presumably flew into poland and then took a plane. no press conference. we were not able to ask questions. but what volodymyr zelensky

would have been listening for was the world continuation, the continued support as david cameron put it as in terms of economic and military support that he said the uk will continue to provide. that will be some comfort to ukraine amidsts continuing political turmoil on the issue of support for ukraine among some allies. prime minister rishi sunak says he will introduce emergency legislation so he can press ahead with plans to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. the policy was ruled unlawful by the supreme court. mr sunak said he was also working on a new treaty with rwanda. graham satchell reports. on a new treaty with rwanda. how do you stop the boats? on a new treaty with rwanda. the government's plan was to send asylum seekers to a third country, rwanda, where their applications would be processed. that plan has been left in tatters after the supreme court ruled it was unlawful. hands off refugees now! the courtjudgment said rwanda was not a safe country for refugees,

particularly because there was a risk they could be forced back to their country of origin, where their life could be in danger. the ruling is a significant blow for the prime minister, rishi sunak, who's made tackling illegal migration a key pledge. we are a reasonable government and this is a reasonable country. but the british people's patience can only be stretched so thin, and they expect the boats to be stopped. the government has now announced a series of measures to resurrect its immigration plans, a new treaty with rwanda, which would prevent the removal of asylum seekers back to their home country, and emergency legislation to mark rwanda as a safe country. we pre—empted this. we have been working on this for well over a year now. we are in the final stages of turning it into a treaty. that can be done quickly. the legislation that needs to go through the house will be tight, simple and passed quickly. critics, including the labour party, say the government is now in disarray, and that sending asylum

seekers to rwanda will never work and is not a deterrent. the only thing that is a deterrent is people knowing they're coming into a well organised, a functional asylum seeking process, and if they don't qualify, they are returned swiftly. the plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda was announced in 2022. it has already cost at least £140 million and no one has yet been sent to the country. but the government says it intends to see flights starting in the spring. graham satchel, bbc news. foreign secretary james cleverly was on the radio 4 today programme this morning. amol rajan asked whether it was morally dubious declaring rwanda to be safe, after the supreme court decided it wasn't. i believe you can act in accordance with international law and we are

very determined to do that. it also, an important point is the international institutions can be updated, they can be... what is the word i am looking for? updated, they can be. .. what is the word i am looking for?— updated, they can be... what is the word i am looking for? reform? i am helinu word i am looking for? reform? i am helping you — word i am looking for? reform? i am helping you out- _ word i am looking for? reform? i am helping you out. are _ word i am looking for? reform? i am helping you out. are you _ word i am looking for? reform? i am helping you out. are you prepared i word i am looking for? reform? i am helping you out. are you prepared to| helping you out. are you prepared to leave it? i helping you out. are you prepared to leave it? ., , helping you out. are you prepared to leave it? . , , leave it? i literally 'ust entered. i want to know _ leave it? i literally 'ust entered. i want to know if _ leave it? i literallyjust entered. i want to know if that _ leave it? i literallyjust entered. i want to know if that is - leave it? i literallyjust entered. i want to know if that is an - leave it? i literallyjust entered. l i want to know if that is an option you are considering, it is not your favourite option, but you might only have bad options to choose from. we have bad options to choose from. - believe we can put forward a set of plans which would bring us completely in accordance with international law. the point i was making on monday, when the reshuffle was happening, and sadly this news was happening, and sadly this news was lost, we actually successfully got some reform of the echr, those injunctions that were being deployed injunctions that were being deployed in the middle of the night last year to prevent the flights taking off. we can make changes to the institutions, we can work with them and make reform. we can and will always act within the framework of

the law, but we are absolutely determined to do the right thing and make sure that this plan, the rwanda plan, part of our tackling of illegal migration, is up and running. we are determined to do that. it running. we are determined to do that. ., , , , running. we are determined to do that. . , , , ., , that. it was suggested in the house of commons _ that. it was suggested in the house of commons yesterday, _ that. it was suggested in the house of commons yesterday, and - that. it was suggested in the house of commons yesterday, and we - that. it was suggested in the house | of commons yesterday, and we don't use this phrase lightly, that you describe this policy as bat expletive.— describe this policy as bat expletive. ., ., ., ., expletive. you have fallen into the tra - , the expletive. you have fallen into the trap. the labour— expletive. you have fallen into the trap, the labour party _ expletive. you have fallen into the trap, the labour party would - expletive. you have fallen into the trap, the labour party would love i expletive. you have fallen into the| trap, the labour party would love us to discuss this issue, rather than the gaping vacuum in the labour party immigration policy. you fell into the trap _ party immigration policy. you fell into the trap of _ party immigration policy. you fell into the trap of not _ party immigration policy. you fell into the trap of not answering - party immigration policy. you fell into the trap of not answering the question. do you remember if you used that phrase? i question. do you remember if you used that phrase?— question. do you remember if you used that phrase? i don't remember a conversation — used that phrase? i don't remember a conversation like _ used that phrase? i don't remember a conversation like that. _ used that phrase? i don't remember a conversation like that. i _ used that phrase? i don't remember a conversation like that. i listened - conversation like that. i listened very carefully to the labour party

proposals, and their grand idea is to do some of the things that the government is already doing, but not all of the things we are proposing. the bottom line is, and i do have a huge amount of respect for yvette cooper, she is experienced and thoughtful, but the labour party position on this is all over the place. they don't know what they want, they have got no idea how they are going to get a grip of this. their grand plan, as i say, is to do some but not all of the things we are already doing, and half of their backbenchers were pulling appalling faces even at the idea of border control. in a world first, medical regulators have approved a gene therapy that aims to cure two blood disorders. sickle cell disease and and beta thalassemia can cause extreme pain. and regular blood transfusions are needed.

every member of staff had one focus — delivering the baby safely. as the minutes passed by it was incredibly tense. but then the sound everyone wanted to hear. baby cries. absolutely beautiful. yeah. and she's come out in really good condition. then mum was taken away to theatre for some stitches. it's a rare gift, seeing a new life less than ten minutes after coming into the world. seeing the joy as a family meets its youngest member. she's adorable. and seeing the instant love as new father himanshu locks eyes with his daughter kiana for the very first time. awesome. this might not look like a maternity unit with problems, but it is. two years ago, inspectors from the care quality commission, the cqc, rated it as inadequate for safety,

the worst possible rating. a follow—up saw progress, but still said it required improvement, and it's far from alone. last autumn, we analyzed cdc data and found that 55% of maternity units in england weren't always meeting safety standards. the cqc has prioritised maternity inspections and now has a fuller picture. it's worse. almost 70% either require improvement or are inadequate for safety. and 15% are in that bottom category, inadequate. that's more than doubled since last autumn. kate terroni from the cdc told me maternity currently has the poorest safety rating of all the hospital services it inspects. it's disappointing, it's unacceptable. i think the point is, we've seen this deterioration and action needs to happen now, so that women next

week can have the assurance that they need that they're going to get that high quality care in any maternity setting across england. my daughter's life was effectively ended before it got started. rachel tustain didn't get that quality of care when her daughter eve was born in a hospital hundreds of miles away. she was injured at birth, a forceps delivery that went badly wrong. that force actually fractured part of her skull, which also severed an artery and caused a massive bleed in her brain. eve lived with huge challenges until last year. she was just five. i think sometimes itjust catches you unexpectedly. we as parents have so much guilt that we couldn't stop what happened to her in the first place. the life she had was not the life she should have had. ministers here at the department of health know, and they have known for some time, about problems with maternity safety.

they also know they're not looking likely to meet targets to halve the numbers of mothers and babies dying by 2025. then there's the fact that families affected by certain high profile maternity scandals at some hospitals are now calling for a full public inquiry across england. we wanted to speak to ministers here about all of this, and several times we asked for an interview. that request was eventually refused. instead, they gave us this statement, wanting to reassure mothers and families that maternity care is of the utmost importance to this government. they said... "we're working incredibly hard to improve maternity services, focusing on recruitment, training and the retention of midwives. but we know there is more to do." in northern ireland, a review has called for a new safety strategy. wales has delayed the second phase of a maternity review. and the scottish government says it is committed to delivering high quality care.

i think once you know how to use it, it's actually really easy, isn't it? here at northwick park, they say maternity is already improving, with the stillbirth rate lower than the national average. i'm determined that we're going to turn things around, i really am. and actually, from the improvements that we've made in the last year, actually, that shows evidence that we are turning things around. but they are not quick improvements. so i like think in another year we'll be in a very different place in terms of what our cqc rating will look like. like the vast majority of the 1500 babies born in england every day, baby kiana is fine, home with herfamily, happy and healthy. the hope is that every baby can have such a safe start. catherine burns, bbc news. i want to give you a line that we are hearing from gaza and israel, we have been hearing from our correspond this morning about the military operation of the al—shifa hospital, in the north of gaza. we are hearing that israeli forces,

this is sourced from reuters via the times of israel, they have dropped leaflets in the khan younis area of southern gaza, warning people to evacuate their homes and head to shelters for their own safety. you might remember similar leaflets were dropped over northern gaza weeks ahead of the ground offensive. so it is being suggested that perhaps this means imminent military operations may be planned for the south. we will update with our correspondence in the region later on in the programme. november is an important month in documentary film, with major festivals and awards ceremonies taking place in europe and north america. already, some key films are emerging as possible oscar best documentary feature contenders. from new york, talking movies tom brook has been looking at some of the favoured candidates(tx) it's time to celebrate documentaries at festivals and award ceremonies. what does it mean to be still?

i wouldn't know, i was never still. still, a michael] fox movie, took the top prize at the critics choice documentary awards. i woke up and i noticed my pinky. it's a candid portrait of a much—liked actor who at the age of 29 was diagnosed with parkinson's disease. facing illness is also a theme in another popular documentary, american symphony. it's the story of a year in the life of award—winning musician and composerjohn batiste. both his public triumphs and the challenges he faces dealing with a remission in his wife's cancer. got one of the biggest prizes in music, come home, she's back in the hospital. this is what we're dealing with. also getting attention, roger ross williams with his film stamped from the beginning, an adventurous work featuring animation and comments from female black scholars looking at the origins of anti—black racism. we need to remember that slavery, it's a piece of human history.

it's open season on black people, black men and women being shot down in the streets for no reason. it's a very difficult time to be black in america, and we want to understand why this is happening. and if we don't understand the history, then how are we going to get past it? another aspect of black life comes into focus with kokomo city, a well received documentary on the lives of transgender sex workers in new york and atlanta. most of the time, the strife that comes with who we are is because we didn't become who our parents wanted us to be. kokomo city basically isjust like the discovery and the exploring of four black trans women that happen to do sex work. but the movie really is about their experiences as trans women, just from their perspective, because so many times we hear from the same girls the same story, the same narratives and the same expectations. and ijust wanted to dig deeper and really get to like more of the girls

that are out there. documentary cinema has also been bringing us films celebrating dynamic, talented, musical lives. little richard: i am everything is a film that shows how the american musician little richard preceded a dazzling array of white musicians, from elvis presley to the beatles to the rolling stones, who were all heavily influenced by him. the king of rock n roll! documentary film—makers often reflect the joys of our time in their work, but more often than not, it's the stresses and anxieties of modern life, the harsh realities that get brought to the screen. such is the case this year with a number of films that have emerged from ukraine since the russian invasion. this is the first time i saw z — the russian sign of war. one of the more noteworthy of these documentaries and one that's been picking up awards is 20 days in mariupol, an unsettling account from an associated press video

journalist who documented life in the port of mariupol as russian forces advanced. documentary film takes a year or two to produce a film capturing that moment. right now, we're 18 months into russia's war in ukraine, and now is the time when we're getting some really powerful documentaries about the war in ukraine, such as 20 days in mariupol. but right now, all the film—makers with documentaries in the fray have their eyes on the days leading up to christmas, when the oscars shortlist will be revealed. it's still a fragile marketplace for documentaries, and oscar recognition can make a big difference to their prospects. tom brook, bbc news, new york. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. the temperatures will be up and down over the next few days. at the moment, we're

in a cold spell, but drier with some sunshine around. and then into the weekend, it turns a lot more unsettled, but much milder once again. today, mostly fine, although it will be cloudy. southern britain will see a spell of wind and rain at times, tied in with this area of low pressure. its main impacts will be felt across france and through the channel islands. southern britain will see a spell of wet and windy weather for a time, and then this weather front will start to work in from the west to bring outbreaks of rain here as we move through the day. so the wet and windy weather eventually pulls away from southern britain as we head through the afternoon. elsewhere, a lot of cloud around, a few showers close to the east coast. best of the sunshine after that very cold start will be across northern scotland, and rain starts to push into northern ireland, then spreads across the irish sea into western wales, western scotland. and a chilly day to come. temperatures of six to ten or 11 degrees in the south. this evening and overnight, that weather front spreads across the country, bringing some showery bursts of rain and then it's followed by clear spells and scattered, blustery showers. most of the showers will affect irish sea coastal areas. again, it's going to be

quite a chilly night, especially again across central northern scotland, where skies will be clear. sharp frost there, maybe some mist and fog around. friday, we're in between weather systems, though there are still a few other fronts around that will lead to shower activity close to the coast. so a much brighter day for friday than what we've had today. and there'll be lots of sunshine around, although it will be another chilly start. a few showers peppering western areas and later in the day, signs of a new weather system arriving to bring some cloudier, wet weather and windier weather to the far southwest, with the temperatures lifting here. otherwise, it's mostly chilly day across the uk. here's the picture for saturday. low pressure firmly in control, lots of isobars on the charts, a weather front spreading northwards. so it will turn blustery. a lot of cloud around, bands of rain spreading their way northwards through saturday morning, followed by sunshine and blustery showers across southern and western areas into the afternoon. but you'll notice the temperatures — much milder on saturday, highs of 9 to 15 degrees. similar story into sunday, though. i think we should see more

sunshine around on sunday, particularly top and tail of the country. showery bursts of rain will affect central areas and it will remain blustery, especially across the south. still quite mild, though. temperatures of ten to 14 celsius. take care.

live from southern israel. this is bbc news: the bbc goes inside gaza's largest

hospital to see what israel says is evidence hamas has been using al—shifa as a command centre. among the things they have uncovered are more than a dozen kalashnikovs, grenades, personal protective equipment, some of it with the hamas military brigade insignia on it. both israel and the palestinians condemn the first un security council resolution calling for humanitarian pauses in the conflict. keir starmer suffers a major rebellion, with more than a quarter of mps calling for an immediate ceasefire in the world. i'm sarah campbell in london. the other headlines: president biden and china's xijinping meet for the first time in a year. they agree to resume high—level military communications.
