the ceasefire is over... and fighting resumes. the gaza health ministry says more than a hundred people have been killed in the hours since the temporary truce ended. each side blames the other for breaching the ceasefire terms. aid and fuel trucks are now being stopped from entering gaza. world leaders are in dubai to talk climate change. king charles urges them to make cop 28 a �*turning point�* for the planet. the first time, world leaders signed a declaration recognising the role of food and farming in global warming. some important progress has been made but it worries me greatly that we remain so dreadfully far off track. hello, i'm lucy grey. welcome to verified live — three hours of breaking stories, and checking out

the truth behind them. the temporary ceasefire in the israel—gaza war is over. it ended about 7am local time. since then, the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says more than a hundred people have been killed in fighting. rockets have been fired into southern israel from gaza, and israel has again begun air strikes on the strip. each side is blaming the other for the end of the ceasefire. the israel defense forces posted on social media saying "hamas violated the operational pause, and in addition, fired toward israeli territory". it also blamed hamas for failing to release all the female and child hostages being held in gaza. in turn, hamas — which the uk, the us and many other governments consider a terrorist group — blamed israel for breaking the agreement by preventing fuel from reaching north the resumption of israeli air strikes hasn't been restricted to gaza's north. there have also been attacks in khan younis, in the south of the strip, as our middle east correspondent hugo bachega reports war has returned to gaza.
3:02 pm
a ceasefire expired this morning. last—minute talks, unable to renew it. it didn't take long for the israeli military to strike again. this was the aftermath of an attack in rafah in southern gaza. israel says it's targeting hamas, but civilians seem to be paying the price again. this man says his house was hit. "what is this supposed to mean?" he asks. "it was just a house where displaced children and young people "were taking shelter," he says. in khan younis, this hospital was overwhelmed. the new casualties putting more pressure on a health system already on the verge of collapse. this man was listening to the news when his house was hit. "this is our second home that's been destroyed. "this is the nature of the israeli enemy.
3:03 pm
"what more can i say?" he says. the ceasefire had given the people of gaza some respite. now, people are on the move again. but few places are really safe — and it's not only bombs threatening them. sanitation systems have broken down. people have a few litres of water, lack of food, the risk of disease breaking out and killing large numbers of children is very, very high. israel says it resumed its offensive because it accused hamas of violating the terms of the ceasefire deal. unfortunately, hamas decided to terminate the pause by failing to release all the kidnapped women — as it was obligated to do so — and kidnapped children, and by resuming rocket fire. the perpetrators of the october seven massacre have decided to hold onto the hostages they brutally abducted in violation of humanitarian law and every norm of humanity.
3:04 pm
hamas, however, accused israel of breaching the truce by not letting fuel into northern gaza. in southern israel, sirens sounded again this morning, warning of the threat of rockets coming from gaza. right now, talks continue to bring another pause to the conflict. in gaza, after the brief quiet, people are again counting the dead. hugo bachega, bbc news, jerusalem. joining me now is our gaza correspondent, rushdi abualouf, who's in istanbul. let's just show you some pictures now the south of gaza. we can show you a hospital in high newness. people were told to leave khan younis early on today and were given leaflets dropped their tilling to leave areas there and we will also show images from the skyline of gaza and if you seeing in hugo's piece, there has been smoke billowing up
3:05 pm
into the air across the skyline throughout the day to day as those bombardments have continued. live now to sir stephen o'brien — former united nations under—secretary—general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator. we had seen an increase in aid and fuel getting into gaza over the last seven days and that now seems to stop completely. what is your expectation about as in any resumption of it?— expectation about as in any resumption of it? clearly the surnplies. _ resumption of it? clearly the supplies, humanitarian - resumption of it? clearly the i supplies, humanitarian supplies coming in through the rafah crossing from egypt into gaza in the southern gaza, was very much part of the deal which had been so well brokered and negotiated by qatar and had managed to find a way to get both the
3:06 pm
israeli government and their defence forces to pause the attempt to remove the threat to their security and their people from the hamas terrorists and for hamas to be prepared to release the hostages, which was the number one priority. clearly, that's broken down, and if there was a deal to be done to extend that pause even further, i have no doubt that the qataris and the skill with which they been able to tactically negotiate, it would have been possible, but if it isn't done by the qataris in its clearly a serious breakdown. what that know means is that the crossing effectively is closed. it doesn't matter how many lorries are stacked high with the necessary supplies and shelter and food and water. just high with the necessary supplies and shelter and food and water.- shelter and food and water. just be de osited shelter and food and water. just be deposited seconds _ shelter and food and water. just be deposited seconds because - shelter and food and water. just be deposited seconds because us - shelter and food and water. just be l deposited seconds because us equity antony blinken are speaking lighthouse will come back to win a second. , . ., , .,

3:15 pm
people had been killed in israeli attacks today in gaza and talking about the confusion over the safe areas that israel has been talking about so obviously the us yesterday and previously was saying how much it was trying to influence israel into doing as much as it can to protect civilians and antony blinken was saying there that it has seen israel's plans to do as much as it possibly can to prevent the deaths of civilians in gaza and said that we were starting to see the fruits of that, talking about these warnings that people getting to evacuate. that was particularly in khan younis, as we were told he was a little earlier. and i'm sorry that he interrupted my guest, stephen o'brien. obviously, we had to take antony blinken speaking there. thank you for holding on cells. interesting to hear him talking about that and also talking at how much a priority that aid situation is in gaza but we also know, don't we, as i was saying, that the trucks today, haven't they, going into

3:17 pm
trucks appear to have stopped in the latest information i heard an early reporting but it can be open again, even while conflicts are taking place, so long as there is an agreement as to how that is done, how that is deployed, how, indeed, people who are distributing it are kept safe, let alone of course applying people in gaza who are so desperately in need of that set of supplies. so there is clearly a big change today which is very worrying and any of us, all of us, as humanitarians, want to see the loss of life but we have to accept the fact that there is a conflict which was paused, it was not opted for a ceasefire because that would have been a one—sided approach in telling israel to stop and the terrorists wouldn't of an interesting take on living off the trigger, as they themselves put it, and they only exist in to terrorise. that is their
3:18 pm
mission. —— the terrorists wouldn't have been interested in taking their finger off the trigger. i'm interested if could have in particular will be able to poke in a future deal not least because there are still women and child hostages to come out in the first agreement, let alone all the other hostages who must be recovered and the holding of them continues to be a walk around. it is such a challenging situation, isn't it, for the aid agencies try to get a divine gaza particularly during that truce and we were hurt hamas complaining, in fact, that aid not getting through to the north. but it is particularly challenging because of the way that people live so close to the hamas fighters and israel's and seven, wasn't it, was about fuel getting into the hands of hamas and are helping them. in terms of the challenge, it is enormous, isn't it, for the aid agencies? it isn't it, for the aid agencies? it isn't it, for the aid agencies? it is terribly difficult and of course a lot of it depends on the quality of the intelligence, which is primarily in the possession of the
3:19 pm
israeli government. its services and defence forces. and because of that very, very dense early goal urban environment and the fact that hamas will have been told and have no reason to believe not only have this great toll on their work which has been particularly focused in the north but also been using the civilian population of gaza as human shields. i absolutely would not expect, particularly when you play clips of people who as we did earlier, certainly his house and he said the second time he has lost his home and subjected to an air strike today. of course, it is very difficult for any of us to be able to verify whether or not they were hamas terrorists or stores of war fighting capabilities in the home. we have no idea. we could not possibly expect any civilians to say
3:20 pm
they had got some thing in their house because they am sure they'll be subjected to the most appalling recrimination from the hamas terrace themselves. they are not the population gaza but much more interested in perpetuating the idea to wipe israel off the map. there is a real difficulty where this is so heavily based on intelligence were israel and then international law does have a right to pursue the terrorists and degrade their... and that means civilians are very much in the crossfire. it is impossible to see how there is going to be its ability to protect all civilians and i find that really difficult to deal with, as i'm sure everybody else does, but it is not something which isn't easy or complicated set of solutions. —— is an easy or uncomplicated set of solutions. my mac for bearing with us will be heard from so antony blinken there.

3:29 pm
temperatures are above freezing, many of the showers draped around coastal areas, are coming in more as a mix of rain and a bit of sleet. across inland areas, dry with plenty of sunshine around, but the sunshine not doing much for the temperatures. it's going to stay very, very cold. now, during this evening and overnight, the showers around coastal areas will switch back over to snow. and these heavier showers work across dumfries and galloway, probably reach cumbria towards the end of the night. could see up to three centimetres of snow from those, but there will also be some snow showers for northern and eastern scotland and eastern areas of england. that again could bring an odd centimetre or two of snow. otherwise a sharp frost. temperatures getting down to about —10 degrees celsius. icy conditions then take us into saturday morning. a bit of early morning mist clearing out of the way. a lot of dry weather with sunshine once again, but this time we'll have some showers across western areas. these again coming in mostly as rain or sleet during the day. those temperatures struggling to get much, if anything, above freezing, particularly in the north and the east. now, through saturday evening and overnight,
3:30 pm
some heavier showers working from the west. now, these could start to turn to snow, but i think mixed in with this, there might well be some freezing rain, really dangerous stuff. it's liquid rain that's got a temperature below zero, it freezes on impact, turns to ice. so i think the weather could turn very icy across parts of england and wales through saturday night. away from that feature, we've got the clearer skies again, a widespread and sharp frost. and again, we could see temperatures dipping down perhaps to as low as —10 in rural areas. sunday's weather forecast — morning mist clearing, many of us having dry day with sunshine, a few wintry showers draped around coastal areas. but we'll have this potential area of rain, maybe with a bit of wintriness mixed in on its northern edge coming through on sunday. still a bit of uncertainty about that. the air may get a little bit less cold across the far south, but otherwise, it's another freezing cold day with temperatures about 1, 4—5 degrees celsius for many of us. into monday, low pressure moves to our south, uncertainty about the position. but again, we could have a bit of snow to watch out
3:31 pm
for on the northern flank.
