11:01 am
iam here i am here in southern israel, the ceasefire deal has come to an end. in the last few hours, ceasefire deal has come to an end. in the last few hours, you ceasefire deal has come to an end. in the last few hours, you can ceasefire deal has come to an end. in the last few hours, you can hear and see it. let me show you like pictures. once again, the skyline which has been so damaged and destroyed by two months now of war in gaza, once again topped by these plumes of smoke rising into the sky. for seven days there was a pause in hostilities, but at the time ticked around, the deal could not be extended we know there were talks going on in qatar, brokering the deal between israel and hamas, they were not able to extend banks and at the time came closer to 7am there were rockets fired from gaza into israel and once again we heard the
11:02 am
sound of air strikes and firing resuming. what that means in practice is the hostages who have been released each day from the deal will not be released today, similarly prisoners held in israeli jails will now not happen. we are still waiting to find out what impact that will have on humanitarian aid, the extra humanitarian aid, the extra humanitarian aid, the extra humanitarian aid going into gaza every day under the terms of the seesaw. let me show you the straight from the israel defense forces. this is for the last post this morning and even though we could see and hear the resumption of art this was the moment we knew the ceasefire had officially come to an end. the israel defence forces said hamas had violated the operational cause aunt had fired towards israeli territory. israeli defence forces said they had combat operations. watching these pictures from the rafah crossing area in southern gaza, taken after
11:03 am
some of the first airstrikes that resumed at the end of the ceasefire. you can see buildings destroyed and you can see people starting to search through the rubble for those missing. the hamas run interior ministry in gaza said in that incident alone six people they said were killed but they said as the morning has gone on, dozens of people have been killed in the renewed and refreshed airstrikes that we have seen. it is just after 1pm here in israel and gaza and ipm here in israel and gaza and fighting appears to have come back to the level it was before that ceasefire deal started on friday. let's start with the latest on what has been a fast—moving morning with our middle east correspondent.
11:04 am
israel said hamas violated the terms of the deal by not releasing more hostages and firing rockets at israeli territory. last night, more reunions. mia, aged 21, returned to herfamily last night, more reunions. mia, aged 21, returned to her family after being held captive by herfamily. this is her mother karen speaking days before her release. i just this is her mother karen speaking days before her release. i 'ust want her back now. i days before her release. i 'ust want her back now. in t days before her release. i 'ust want her back now. in our _ days before her release. i 'ust want her back now. in our life _ days before her release. ijust want her back now. in our life will- days before her release. ijust want her back now. in our life will neverl her back now. in our life will never be the same. but we will be all right, the minute she will be here, we will be fine.— we will be fine. visiting the region in the us secretary _ we will be fine. visiting the region in the us secretary of— we will be fine. visiting the region in the us secretary of state - we will be fine. visiting the region in the us secretary of state had i in the us secretary of state had this message. i in the us secretary of state had this message.— in the us secretary of state had this message. i made clear before israel receives _ this message. i made clear before israel receives military _ this message. i made clear before israel receives military operations | israel receives military operations it must_ israel receives military operations it must put— israel receives military operations it must put in place humanitarian and civilian— it must put in place humanitarian and civilian protection plans that minimise — and civilian protection plans that minimise further casualties. overnight, in the occupied west
11:05 am
bank, more palestinian prisoners were freed from israeli jails. being back home does not mean the end of the suffering. mohammed leftjail on monday but he is not yet totally free. both of his hands were fractured in beatings by israeli guards, he says. he now needs help to eat, drink and go to the bathroom. translation: they arrange so the elderly prisoners were put in the back. they took me and started beating me, i try to protect my head and they were trying to break my legs and my hands. mohammed said abuse of palestinian prisoners were common in israeli jails after the hamas attacks and he said guards used sticks, theirfeet attacks and he said guards used sticks, their feet and attacks and he said guards used sticks, theirfeet and dogs attacks and he said guards used sticks, their feet and dogs to assault them. this row said it was not aware of those claims and palestinians are illegally detained. israel was the target of the hamas attacks but the pain is also being
11:06 am
felt by palestinians. we know that talks to try and extend the ceasefire longer going on intensively in doha and qatar throughout the night and this morning nobody knew whether they will be successful or not under it was only when the fighting started that people knew the ceasefire deal after seven relatively successful days had come to an end and i spoke to lieutenant colonel peter lerner, a spokesperson for the israeli defence forces and asked him what it was that prompted the end of the ceasefire. the ceasefire ended because hamas refused to release the women and children they are holding and how it ended was before 6am this morning, they began launching rockets firing at us throughout the morning. i think you had to take up a couple of times, i heard some of your reports earlier so they began first of all
11:07 am
by not implementing their part of the road by backing down on their word which is perhaps not too surprising, we've probably been expecting it now for several days andindeed expecting it now for several days and indeed when they decided not to release the women and children, they basically set us up for a renewed operations and actions against hamas. we've been saying since the full day on the 7th of october that hamas has to go, they have to be removed from power and they cannot be allowed to have the power of government because they are an irresponsible and ruthless governing authority that utilises the power of government to conduct the most atrocious acts against the people of israel so we are now immobilising, we are operating in the north of the gaza strip and we have conducted some strikes in specific precision strikes in the south, we have distributed some leaflets in areas we are planning to operate on in the north and in the south and this is
11:08 am
where we are this morning. {guild north and in the south and this is where we are this morning. could you clari for where we are this morning. could you clarify for me — where we are this morning. could you clarify for me something _ where we are this morning. could you clarify for me something that - where we are this morning. could you clarify for me something that hamas. clarify for me something that hamas said yesterday. they said they offered to return the bodies of one family and they released that hostage video yesterday which i know it was very distressing for people here in israel to see but they said they had offered to release the body is a distro had said no to that. can you clarify the situation for me? i do not believe a word hamas has to say and i don't think any decent human being can accept anything they say, anything beyond ruthless psychological terrorism. israel defense forces have announced that once they said the family had been killed, we will operate in order to understand and confirm that, i cannot confirm that situation, that has not changed for us since last night but with regards to the release of hostages they still have 20 women and babies, children, that
11:09 am
need to be released, that is what needs to happen and that is what we are currently operating under the understanding we need to achieve. there are two goals for this war, bringing back every last one of the hostages and making sure hamas never has the power to conduct ruthless attacks against us. the has the power to conduct ruthless attacks against us.— has the power to conduct ruthless attacks against us. the us secretary of state antony _ attacks against us. the us secretary of state antony blinken _ attacks against us. the us secretary of state antony blinken was - attacks against us. the us secretary of state antony blinken was here . attacks against us. the us secretary of state antony blinken was here in | of state antony blinken was here in israel yesterday and he was talking about the next phase of this military operation and this is someone not an enemy of israel, a friend and ally but he made it explicitly clear and he said the numbers of civilians that have been killed on the displacement that had happened in the north could not be repeated in the south and he talked about continuing operations being bound by humanitarian law. how are you actually going to go about doing that because by saying these things publicly it shows he has concerns that that is not happening? i think ou are that that is not happening? i think you are listening _ that that is not happening? i think you are listening very _ that that is not happening? i think you are listening very attentively i you are listening very attentively to secretary anthony lincoln and our
11:10 am
counterparts in the us military and we are all under the understanding and he also mentioned the endgame has to be a result that hamas does not control the gaza strip. israeli defence forces are operating to restore safety and security and here is an idea that i would try and consider... hamas can end this now, all they need to do is unconditionally surrender and release all of the hostages and there would be no need for us to operate on the ground. we have and as you pointed out earlier, we have released today an interactive map in order to alleviate and get more knowledge to palestinians of gaza where s is safer to knowledge to palestinians of gaza where sis safer to go, knowledge to palestinians of gaza where s is safer to go, where to evacuate from. indeed this is part of our effort in order to alleviate some of the civilian strife resulting from this war, a war israel had no plans for, a war that israel had no plans for, a war that israel was surprised for but it is a work nevertheless that we need to
11:11 am

11:12 am
areas in the gaza strip and also many houses were demolished, including the hospital where i currently love has seen more than ten killed and lots of injuries so people just wish this would finish and but the ceasefire, it was wished it could have lasted longer and people have not yet fulfilled their needs during the one—week truce, it was not enough for them so there are still many concerns and unfortunately the situation does not bode well. it tells us there is going to be more disastrous in the gaza strip and people are still suffering from everything so they are suffering with cold and fear and they have not fulfilled their needs so they are not prepared for this. they have seen unbelievable horrifying scenes across the last a9
11:13 am
days. now they will be probably living through another, that is not absolutely, they have not seen their houses, they have an extremely excruciatingly circumstances and environments so we hope there will be another choice very soon and we hope the negotiations in doha between the two sides and casa, they will be successful and the truce will be successful and the truce will be successful and the truce will be extended very soon. irate will be successful and the truce will be extended very soon. we still do not know — will be extended very soon. we still do not know what _ will be extended very soon. we still do not know what is _ will be extended very soon. we still do not know what is happening - will be extended very soon. we still do not know what is happening in i will be extended very soon. we still. do not know what is happening in the talks in doha, we are told they are trying to organise a resumption of the ceasefire but at the moment everything we have seen over the last seven days has broken down, the fighting has started once again and if i show you these pictures of the skyline above gaza at the moment as seen from southern israel, you can seen from southern israel, you can see there is a lot of smoke. you can
11:14 am
see there is a lot of smoke. you can see we have not seen that seen for seven days, the skyline has been relatively calm. we have not seen these great plumes of smoke that we are seeing this morning, we are seeing and hearing the sound of air of outgoing mortar and artillery fire as well, we are hearing the sound of a plane in the sky as well sound of a plane in the sky as well so fighting has resumed at the level it was before the ceasefire began. on the humanitarian front, let's discuss what the end of the ceasefire means for aid getting into gaza. live now to ramallah where we can speak to nibal farsakh, who is the spokesperson for the palestine red crescent society. thank you forjoining us. we are hearing that no aid trucks have passed through the rafah crossing into gaza this morning, but is not confirmed just yet but that is what is being suggested so what are you
11:15 am
hearing about what the end of the ceasefire means for the delivery of humanitarian aid into gaza?- humanitarian aid into gaza? thank ou for humanitarian aid into gaza? thank you for having _ humanitarian aid into gaza? thank you for having me. _ humanitarian aid into gaza? thank you for having me. the _ humanitarian aid into gaza? thank you for having me. the end - humanitarian aid into gaza? thank you for having me. the end of- humanitarian aid into gaza? thank you for having me. the end of the| you for having me. the end of the ceasefire means we are going to receive less aid now, during this week the palestine day palestine red crescent teams have received over 1000 trucks into the gaza strip and we sent some of them to the north of gaza and gaza city but now the expectation is less aid will be received before the ceasefire, the daily average was a5 aid trucks but what we have seen during the past week is the situation is even more than dyer and now with the resumption and firing we expect the situation to get more worse. the aid that was allowed to get in it is absolutely not enough, it is not even scratching the surface of the needs and more people, all
11:16 am
palestinians, over 2 million civilians, are lacking food and water and fuel and on top of that even the health system is catastrophic and we are making urgently more medical supplies and medicine as well as fuel to allow aid into the gaza strip. unfortunately during all of this week we were unable to send any fuel to our colleagues who are still working on the ground in the north of gaza. we have around seven ambulances who are ready to start operating at any minute but because of fuel depletion, the israeli occupation forces after the ceasefire prevented us sending fuel to our colleagues to support their emergency medical services. we can see and hear— emergency medical services. we can see and hear and _ emergency medical services. we can see and hear and you _ emergency medical services. we can see and hear and you can _ emergency medical services. we can see and hear and you can possibly i see and hear and you can possibly hear as i am speaking to you the
11:17 am
sound of renewed airstrikes, renewed explosions in the background. we have seen pictures that appear to show people once again moving to areas of hospitals in gaza, a place where they tend to go for some sort of safety when fighting is happening. tell us the latest situation in your hospitals at the moment. have you managed to restock at all? what about your staff? what at all? what about your staff? what is happening? _ at all? what about your staff? �*msgt is happening? unfortunately as you note the palestine red crescent runs a hospital in gaza city and this has been shut down during the past weeks because it has been under attack and israel prevented any humanitarian aid and medical staff getting into the hospital. the hospital is still shut down along with other hospitals in gaza city, since we were unable to send any aid to that area and
11:18 am
it's still not safe there. the total area around the hospital, is still underfire under attack area around the hospital, is still under fire under attack and even area around the hospital, is still underfire under attack and even in the days of ceasefire there were snipers there targeting anyone who tried to move in the area. we have another hospital in the south of the gaza strip, the city, the situation there is catastrophic, we managed to get some fuel during the ceasefire but unfortunately it is not enough and we are trying to rationalise the consumption of those supply and i mean, like, the electricity to try and continue saving and providing life—saving services but unfortunately we are lacking medical supplies and our hospital along with the palestinian red crescent turned it into a shelter for over ia,000 civilians now taking shelter insight art facilities and they are lacking
11:19 am
everything. we do not have enough relief items for them like mattresses and blankets. even the clothes, people fled their homes with nothing on them, only what they are wearing and now it is getting winter and so much cold and children and those internally displaced or suffering from the cold. there is not enough anything, they are also lacking food, water, everything. the situation has become more than dyer whether you live in gaza city, the north or south. the situation is catastrophic and we have seen more suffering that is just happening. now since the early morning, airstrikes are happening north of gaza and south so there is no safe place in gaza. everyone has been affected by this continuous escalation, particularly civilians. and we are talking about over 15,000 who were killed, those are not only figures, they have loved ones, they
11:20 am
have dreams, they used to want to do something in their life and unfortunately now are just living their losses with a continuous escalation. we call for an urgent need to stop this continuous escalation because we do not want more civilians to lose their lives. thank you so much, exactly what we have been reflecting on throughout the morning here on bbc news, the impact of the renewed fighting and you can save from these pictures, the clouds of smoke moving into the sky. we know that the ceasefire has ended and as we wait to see whether it can be reinstated, as we were discussing, we will of course keep you updated throughout the day. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

let's look at some other stories making news. train drivers in the aslef union — at more than a dozen companies in england — have begun a new wave of industrial action. the ban on overtime will also affect services in scotland and wales. a rolling programme of walkouts begin on saturday. they will affect different train companies each day — for the next nine days. 39 people were arrested when violence broke out in the build up to aston villa's game against legia warsaw in birmingham on thursday night. four police officers were injured in clashes with the away fans — who were later blocked from entering the stadium over saftey fears. aston villa went on to win the game 2—1. wilko is returning to the high street in the uk on friday — four months after the collapse of the high street chain. the relaunch comes after the brand was bought by the homeware chain, the range. wilko stores in exeter and plymouth are among the first to re—open their doors with hundreds expected to follow over the next two years. it's day two of the cop28 climate summit in dubai. in his opening speech, king charles urged world leaders gathered in dubai to make the cop28 climate summit a "turning point". i pray with all my heart that cop28
11:22 am
will be another critical turning point towards genuine transformational action at a time when already, as scientists have been warning for so long, we are seeing alarming tipping points being reached. i've spent a large proportion of my life trying to warn of the existential threats facing us over global warming, over climate change and biodiversity loss. but i was not alone. for instance, sheikh mohammed's dear father, sheikh zayed, was advocating for clean energy at a time even before the united arab emirates, as such, came into being. all these decades later and despite all the attention,
11:23 am
there is 30% more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now than there was back then. and almost a0% more methane. some important progress has been made, but it worries me greatly that we remain so dreadfully far off track as the global stocktake report demonstrates so graphically. live now to carl nasman is in dubai for us. some dire warnings there from many of the world leaders speaking on the second day. but there has been progress on the momentum and simon lewis professor of global change science at the university college london. thank you forjoining us.

11:26 am
hello. it was a bitterly cold start to the day. last night was the coldest night since the middle of march, with temperatures down to —9.a degrees at shap in cumbria. now through today and into the weekend it's looking cold both by day and night. a chance of some ice, some fog as well. few wintry showers, but some sunshine on offer. any of those at wintry showers for the rest of today will be close to the east coast of england, perhaps one or two for essex, northumberland, northern and eastern scotland, and one or two perhaps for northern ireland, the isle of man as well. but most places looking dry. mist and fog gradually lifting, so it'll brighten up. but any sunshine will be quite hazy. and it's not going to do too much to lift the temperature, between about freezing to plus five degrees for most of us at the highest today. now through the evening, we'll see some of these showers in the westjust popping up. we've got this frontal system. so it's going to bring some more wintry showers, snow showers into the likes of dumfries and galloway, perhaps anglesey. pembrokeshire could see
11:27 am
a few of those wintry showers. but for central and south east england, it's here that we're going to see some really extensive freezing fog forming overnight. so it could be some really poor visibility first thing saturday and a really cold start, i think, wherever you are. now, saturday's weather starts on that chilly note. we have got lower pressure sitting out towards the west here, pepping up the showers again across the likes of south west scotland, north west england, few for wales and perhaps the south west of england. there'll be a mix of rain, sleet and hill snow. meanwhile, for the rest of the uk, early freezing fog only very slow to clear, quite stubborn, lingering in one of two places in the south east, but some sunshine breaking through eventually. i think perhaps temperatures only between around about freezing to four degrees for most of us. and then it's saturday evening and overnight that will start to see this snow becoming perhaps a bit more extensive as it works eastwards across england and wales. could be a few centimetres of snow for the midlands, say down towards the far south i think it'll be mainly falling as rain at low levels, perhaps some snow over the higher ground. but again, a bitterly cold start to your sunday morning. so sunday sees the first frontal
11:28 am
system just edging away towards the east, next area of low pressure lining up there in the atlantic. so there could be some early snow for parts of eastern england first thing sunday, mainly rain that's going to be pushing in around the english channel. much of the uk having a largely dry day with mist and fog clearing away. again, it's not going to feel particularly warm between about freezing to three degrees in the north, but as high as ten in the far southwest. bye— bye.
