under the al—shifa complex. also in gaza, 31 premature babies are evacuated from al—shifa hospital. palestinian doctors say eight other children died because of lack of care. meanwhile, the prime minister of qatar suggests israel and hamas could be close to a deal to release some of the hostages taken in october. live from our studio in singapore — this is bbc news. it's newsday. we begin in gaza, where there have been several key developments in the conflict in the last few hours.

the israeli military has shown video recovered from al shifa hospital, which it says shows hostages being held there after the october 7th attack by hamas. israel also released footage it says shows its forces going into a tunnel shaft, and along what is says is and along what it says is a 55—metre—long tunnel built by hamas, under al shifa hospital. hamas has denied having a command centre there. 31 premature babies who were trapped inside al—shifa hospital by the fighting have been moved to a hospital in southern gaza. doctors there say eight other premature babies did not survive. meanwhile, the prime minister of qatar has said only "minor obstacles remain" in the way of reaching a deal on releasing some of the hostages taken by hamas in its attack on israel on october seventh. and the fighting continues, hamas says more than a0 members

of one family have been killed in an israeli air strike. israel has not commented. we'll have more on all of those developments, but we begin with this report from senior international correspondent, orla guerin. it contains distressing images from the very beginning. every day, more dead in gaza, some who barely started living. this footage was filmed for the bbc today in khan younis, in the south. israel told people to flee here, to be safer. the bereaved get one last look. and a father, one last embrace. the agony of samirjamil aga,

cradling his five—year—old son, mohammed. then, his other son is brought to him. six—year—old samir. he can't bear to let him go. parted for ever. palestinians say the boys were among 30 people killed when israel bombed several houses in khan younis. but finally, some hope for about 30 premature babies. but finally, hope for about 30 premature babies. doctors in southern gaza, working to stabilise them, ahead of a transfer to egypt tomorrow. eight others have died. these are the survivors of war and of the horrors of al—shifa hospital.

"even the water used for their formula was contaminated," says doctor mohammad zaqout, "and there was no proper sterilisation. "they suffered from vomiting, diarrhoea and weight loss. "some had blood poisoning and severe infections." back at al—shifa, israel has issued this video, as it comes under pressure to justify its raid on the hospital. it says there is a tunnel leads to a blast proof door, it says this tunnel leads to a blast proof door, of the kind used by hamas for its command centres. and more video, this time cctv, which israel says shows two hostages being bundled into al—shifa on october the 7th. one of them, wounded. being bundled into al—shifa on october the 7th, one of them wounded. at this stage, we can't verify any of the army video. in israel, many are still enveloped by grief,

still mourning those killed by hamas. among the dead, a passionate peace campaigner. vivian silver was a canadian israeli activist. ca nadian—israeli activist. if palestinians were allowed into israel for medical treatment, she drove them to hospital. after hamas attacked her kibbutz near the gaza border, there was little of her left to bury. her son, jonathan, said her peace movement had been orphaned by her death. her clear voice had been silenced. but fellow campaigners told us they will keep going. it's very hard to us, but the way of vivian give us the hope for all of us here, to see all these people, that we must work in the way of the peace. do you think that is still possible now, with israel and the palestinians? we must, we must believe in this

way, because this is the solution. but israel's peace camp has been dwindling for years. since october the 7th, it is reeling. another war is under way in gaza — something vivian silver hoped would not be repeated. the grief here is for a beloved mother and grandmother, but also for a vision of a different future. orla guerin, bbc news, jerusalem. let's get more now on that news conference from the israel defence forces, in which they outlined details of what they claimed to have found at the al shifa hospital. the israeli military spokesman daniel hagari claimed hamas had killed one hostage there — and detained two others after the attack on october the 7th.

this is the 7th of october, ten 50 five a:m.. —— 10:55 a:m.. he doesn't look even... but they're taking inside the hospital. i will now share this video that shows the same hostage entering into the hospital with a gunman terrorist inside the hospital. this is the main interest of the hospital. we have not yet located both of these hostages. we have not yet located them. we do not know where they are.

they're still hostages we need to rescue. our correspondent in jerusalem, nick beake, gave us this analysis of what the idf statements might mean in the overall context of the war. israel is slowly, methodically, it would say, building a case, presenting evidence which, it claims, justifies the operation at the al—shifa hospital. just to put this in context, this was a really big military operation the israelis have been carrying out at gaza's biggest hospital. and the reason they said they did this, they brought in tanks, there was such a fierce battle, even though thousands of civilians had gone to the hospital to seek shelter, to seek safety, the justification for this was that hamas had transformed it from a hospital into a active war zone, into a legitimate military target. so that's why you hear the idf chief spokesman talking about hamas

bringing militaryjeeps, which he said had taken from the israelis, why he showed cctv footage which he said showed hamas fighters armed, why he also says that hostages have been kept at the hospital, and also why he says that hostages were actually murdered there within the grounds of the al—shifa hospital. this is evidence which, bit by bit, israel says it has collected and is now putting forward, both in video form and other material as well. worth stressing this has just come out tonight, there's no way that we can immediately verify this, but, certainly, israel is saying that this is the evidence it has been talking about for a long time now, that the hospital is being used as a place where hamas have been taking hostages and also using it for human shield purposes. let's go to argentina, we're expecting some early results to come

in for the presidential election. so my pictures from that presidential runoff. this is the headquarters of sergio massa's campaign. we were expecting earlier results to come in. very closely fought contest it's been a closely fought contest between left—wing economy minister, sergio massa, and a far—right outsider, javier melei. the pair have sharply different views on how to tackle argentina's economic crisis — an issue that's dominated the vote. mr massa won the first round with 36.7%, ahead of mr melei with 30%. live now to our bbc mundo reporter, veronica smink, who is in buenos aires.

parent is coalition. —— peronist. many are saying we do need a rag radical change.— many are saying we do need a rag radical chance. ., ,, ~ ., , radical change. veronica smink, many thanks. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news in the uk. metropolitan police have questioned russell brand in relation to allegations of historical sex offences. an investigation by the sunday times, the times and channel 4's dispatches revealed allegations of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse against the comedian and actor. brand has previously denied the claims. the british chancellorjeremy hunt says any tax cuts in this week's autumn statement will be done in a �*responsible way�* that won't risk fuelling inflation.

mr hunt wouldn't comment on speculation he may cut inheritance tax but said there would be changes to the benefits system — with extra support for those with health issues who are looking for work, but tougher sanctions for those who turn down jobs. air traffic control restrictions at heathrow airport on sunday have been lifted. national air traffic control services blamed staff absence and strong winds for the decision to limit the number of flights. the airport has not yet given any confirmation on the number of services which were delayed or cancelled. you're live with bbc news. the former first lady of the us, rosalynn carter, has died. she was 96. rosalynn was married tojimmy carter, who was president in the 1970s, for 77 years. her family say she died peacefully at her home in plains, georgia. jimmy said that rosalynn was his equal partner in everything he accomplished.

he said that as long as rosalynn was in the world, "i always knew somebody loved and supported me." rosalynn, who championed mental health and women's rights, is survived by her husband, and her three children, 11 grandchildren, and ia great—grandchildren. i'm joined now by our north america correspondent shingai nyoka. wait to talk to. has there been any reaction to the sad death of rosalynn carter?— reaction to the sad death of rosalynn carter? reaction to the sad death of rosal nn carter? , rosalynn carter? yes indeed. the tributes have _ rosalynn carter? yes indeed. the tributes have been _ rosalynn carter? yes indeed. the tributes have been pouring - rosalynn carter? yes indeed. the tributes have been pouring in - rosalynn carter? yes indeed. the tributes have been pouring in a i tributes have been pouring in a short while ago. we heard from president biden, who described the carters as an incredible family that brought a lot of grace to the white house. he also described bothjimmy carter and rosalynn as people of great integrity. we've also been hearing tributes from various members of congress who have alluded

to the fact that she was tremendously generous and that she served others and was dedicated to public service, and she did so with grace and kindness. a former first lady melania trump also posted her own tribute and said rosalynn carter leaves behind a meaningful legacy notjust leaves behind a meaningful legacy not just as a leaves behind a meaningful legacy notjust as a first leaves behind a meaningful legacy not just as a first leg leaves behind a meaningful legacy notjust as a first leg lady, but as a wife and mother. she says "we will also remember her devotion to her husband and family." it's really a time when people have been remembering a woman who was by many accounts incredibly remarkable. she came into the white house in 1977 and it really expanded the role of first lady. within a few months of her husband being appointed president, he sent her as an envoy to south america as an advocacy and void, and there was a lot of

criticism because she was not an elected official. but then she also carved out her own niche establishing an office in the east wing of the white house. she championed the causes of mental health, caregiving and women's rights, and even after they lived office in 1981, after president carter's one term, they continued with the public service. they volunteered for habitat for humanity and spent a week out of every year building homes across the continent. they also co—founded the carter centre. really an incredible woman, as you said there, former president jimmy carter paid his own tribute for a long time. people said they didn't know where rosalynn ended and the way —— and wherejulie began.

truly began. lasted 77 years. absolutely. shingai nyoka, thank you for bringing us that update. breaking news from those elections runoff in argentina. sergio massa has conceded defeat, saying that half the air melei has won the two were running after last month, and these are life pictures coming from javier milei's headquarters. you can see people celebrating after sergio massa conceded defeat. we will bring you more information as we get it. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines.

yemen's iranian—backed houthi rebels say they have seized an israeli cargo ship in the red sea. they said the vessel was then taken to a port in yemen. israel said the ship was not israeli, and no israelis were among its crew. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said this was "another act of iranian terrorism". iran has not commented. three boats overladen with more than 500 rohingya refugees have been allowed to land in indonesia's aceh province. one of the vessels had tried to come ashore in aceh before, but had been pushed back out to sea. more than 200 people were on board that boat, including 60 children. the un refugee agency in indonesia told the bbc it had called on locals in aceh to accept the migrants even though the country has not signed the un's refugee convention.

the authorities in the northern indian state of uttar pradesh have banned halal labels on some food items, saying they are in breach of existing legislation. uttar pradesh is ruled by the hindu—nationalist bjp, but it's home to nearly a0 million muslims, around a fifth of the population. the ban on certification includes products such as dairy, sugar and cooking oil. a recent ground—breaking court decision in america australia have won the men's cricket world cup — beating the hosts india. australian opener travis head was the star scoring a century. put into bat after losing the toss, the indian team made a bright start, but lost wickets

at regular intervals. they made 240 runs. batter k l rahul was the top scorer with 66. around 100,000 people are packed into the world's biggest cricket stadium to watch the final in the city of ahmedabad in the state of gujarat. i'm joined now by our correspondent in sydney, phil mercer. great to talk to you. ican imagine i can imagine that the australians are very excited with this win, but did they expect it? bier? are very excited with this win, but did they expect it?— are very excited with this win, but did they expect it? very excited and ve blea did they expect it? very excited and very bleary died- — did they expect it? very excited and very bleary died. here _ did they expect it? very excited and very bleary died. here the _ very bleary died. here the eastern states of australia, cricket fans were up very early in the morning or very late at night depending on your point of view, as we often are when we watch australian teams around the world. so there will be celebrations going on for several days, i think, in australia. the australians winning the men's cricket 50 over world cup for the sixth time. as you say, travis head could well be the

most popular man in this country. 137 runs, setting his site on course for victory. 137 runs, setting his site on course forvictory. it 137 runs, setting his site on course for victory. it was also a stunning outfield test by travis head to remove sharma. he was a pivotal moment in the indian innings. for many people, cricket is australia's national sport and they are celebrating an almighty victory. remember in 2023, the australian men's team has won the world's test championship, retained in the ashes, long—standing rivalry against england. now the 50 over world cup. so a job well done for the captain pat cummins and his team. phil. pat cummins and his team. phil, as ou see, pat cummins and his team. phil, as you see, australia _ pat cummins and his team. phil, as you see, australia had _ pat cummins and his team. phil, as you see, australia had an _ pat cummins and his team. phil, as you see, australia had an incredible run with the ashes earlier this year. are there any accelerations expected in australia on their

return? �* , , return? i'm sure there will be in the ast return? i'm sure there will be in the past we've _ return? i'm sure there will be in the past we've seen _ return? i'm sure there will be in the past we've seen champion l the past we've seen champion australian teams arrived back from overseas. celebrated with parades on open top, but of course, australia is celebrating this monumental win over india, winning the toss crucial for pat cummins. watching each step of this 50 over innings, especially when india were batting, we have the sense that australia came out with a great purpose. they had a distinctive plan for each indian batsman and, in the end, it paid off. reaching his victory target. and anyone's language, that is a pretty comprehensive victory. in front of well over 90,000 fans. yeah, it can't have been easy coming

out. i think it was over 100,000 fans in the stadium. phil, there were some criticisms about the state of the pitch. is that something you're hearing an australia? i don't thinkthere'll_ you're hearing an australia? i don't think there'll be _ you're hearing an australia? i don't think there'll be any _ you're hearing an australia? i don't think there'll be any complaints - think there'll be any complaints about the pitch in australia after that result! there was a lot of talk on the television commentary about the conditions once australians were responding to india's innings with the potential for dew responding to india's innings with the potentialfor dew on responding to india's innings with the potential for dew on the ground. the state of the outfield in the air has a great bearing or movement of the ball. i think the way the australians went about their bowling was absolutely fantastic. they had a plan, they stuck to it. i think what will make many australians very proud is that the resilience that their team showed given that they were playing in front of 90,000 indian fans with only small pockets

of the goal of australia. so a team worthy of being well world champions. when they get back home, no doubt celebrations can continue. phil mercer, after that amazing world cup win. a quick reminder of our breaking news this hour. right—wing political outsider javier milei has won argentina's presidential elections. that's all the time we have here on tuesday. thanks for watching. hello there. the weekend has been pretty cloudy, but mild — temperatures of 15 degrees in the warmest spots on sunday. we had some rain as well. you can see some of that working across the skies

here in gower, near swansea. and a bit more rain to come as well. the same area of low pressure's still with us, so damp weather for northern england, southern and central scotland, northern ireland. england, southern and central not particularly heavy here, but some heavier rain pushing across southern wales and southern parts of england over the next few hours. a mild start to the day on monday and we pick up that band of rain working into the south east quickly monday morning before clearing out of the way. what follows again is quite a lot of cloud. the winds coming in from a north westerly direction and they'll be bringing some showers into wales and southwest england the northeast of scotland. in between, it does stay quite cloudy, but some breaks in a cloud every now and then. a bit of sunshine, particularly for east anglia, south east england, and probably brightening up in northern ireland through the afternoon as well. temperatures still on the mild side at 12 or 13. for wednesday, we start to see a ridge of high pressure build in from the north. and with that comes the prospect of some bigger breaks in the cloud,

particularly across southern and central scotland, northern ireland, northwest england, northwest wales as well. elsewhere, quite a bit of cloud, the thickest cloud for the far north of scotland, where a weather front will start to move its way back in. our temperatures close to average, though, on tuesday — will be a slightly cooler kind of day. wednesday, we've got some warmer air coming around the top side of our area of high pressure behind this warm front, and with fronts crossing scotland, it's here where we'll have the thickest cloud outbreaks of rain. it's going to be quite windy as well. the heaviest rain for western scotland, the rain probably not amounting to too much across eastern scotland. drier further south for southern eastern wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern parts of england. that's probably where we'll see the best in the breaks in the cloud in the cloud, the best of the day's sunshine. temperatures around 11—14 degrees, so again, it's mild. now towards the end of the week, we are going to see some more significant changes as a cold front dives southwards and starts to introduce some much colder air. question marks how far south this cold air gets and exactly how cold it will be when it arrives.

however, it does look like we'll all see a significant drop in temperatures and it could get cold enough to see some snowfall over the mountains of northern scotland, so one to watch. bye for now.
