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

erik ten hag has dismissed concerns about his under—fire keeper andre onana. the cameroon international�*s mistakes in the 3—3 draw against galatasaray has left united's champions league hopes hanging by a thread, but ten hag insists that onana is among the best goalkeepers in the premier league. if you analyse it well, then you see he is the second—best goalkeeper in the premier league, based on stats. so his expected preventing goals is the second best in the premier league. so, yeah, he is doing well. but, yes, also, he knows that in the champions league, he makes some mistakes. but all over, in the first five months, he is doing particularly well. european football's governing body, uefa, have condemned what they've described as �*unacceptable violence�* which occured around
3:35 pm
the aston villa — legia warsaw europa conference game. the win for villa was marred by crowd trouble before kick—off in birmingham. flares and missiles were thrown by legia fans as they clashed with police near villa park, leaving four officers injured. more than a0 people are now in custody. away fans were banned from entering the ground over safety fears, triggered, seemingly, over restrictions on the numbers being allowed tickets for the game, reduced to just over a thousand for them. uefa say they're gathering reports, before deciding next steps. to the women's game, where it's a big night for england's lionesses, as they welcome the netherlands to wembley in the women's nations league. sarina wiegman�*s side have to win, to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the olympics on behalf of team gb. england currently sit three points behind the netherlands, who are top of the group, and wiegman hopes that her side can use the experience of regularly playing big matches at wembley to their advantage. i think it's really good to have experiences. you know, when you have experience, it's not all new, and i think that helps top athletes to perform at the highest level. so lots of players have been there, have done it, i would say, so it's not new,
3:36 pm
and that absolutely helps. so, hopefully, then you are calm in circumstances that you've been in before and you know what to do, just the same as how we want to play and things like that, so it's all recognisable. rafael nadal will make his return to tennis in australia injanuary, after almost a year out. the 22—time grand slam champion announced his return on x — formerly known as twitter — and will compete at the atp 250 event in brisbane in the first week of january. it will be nadal�*s first appearance since his second—round exit at the australian open injanuary of this year. now to golf, where tiger woods will be looking to have a better second round on his comeback at the hero world challenge in the bahamas, which starts in the next hour. the is—time major champion admitted that he was �*rusty�* and didn't have his �*feels�*, after shooting a 3—over—par 75 in his first round of competitive action since having foot surgery after the masters in april. that puts him in 18th place out of 20. tony finau and brian harman lead, on 5—under, ahead of the second round.

and just to let you know the quarterfinals of snooker�*s uk championship are under way — seven—time champion ronnie 0'sullivan is cruising against china's zhou yuelong — he leads by 4 frames to three. updates on the bbc sport website. that's all the sport for now. thanks very much. let's return to the israel—gaza war, where the temporary ceasefire ended at about 7am local time. since then, the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says more than a hundred people have been killed in fighting. the sides have blamed each other for the violence restarting after a week in which more than 100 hostages were released by hamas, in exchange for 240 palestinian prisoners in israeli jails. live now to colonel richard kemp. he's a former commander of british forces. and joins us from tel aviv. thanks forjoining us. we were seeing this truce play out for seven
3:38 pm
days and there had been concerns, hadn't there, about hamas getting a chance to regroup during that time, do you think seven days is sort of a long enough time for anything substantial to have been made for them to achieve anything substantial in terms of that regrouping? h0. them to achieve anything substantial in terms of that regrouping? ha. i in terms of that regrouping? no, i don't think— in terms of that regrouping? no, i don't think so. _ in terms of that regrouping? no, i don't think so. i _ in terms of that regrouping? no, i don't think so. i think— in terms of that regrouping? no, i don't think so. i think it _ in terms of that regrouping? iirr, i don't think so. i think it obviously is to their advantage that they pressed for the ceasefire themselves because they were severely weakened by the war so far. but there will be relatively little they can do. they have obviously redeployed many terrorist assets from the north down to the south and will have been preparing defences there. but the idf also has had the opportunity of the seven day pause in fighting themselves evaluate the war so far, look at the lessons learned already and prepare for the next stage. so i don't think there is a massive disadvantage for the idf. {iii don't think there is a massive disadvantage for the idf. of the ceasefire. on _ disadvantage for the idf. of the ceasefire. on both _ disadvantage for the idf. of the ceasefire. on both sides - disadvantage for the idf. of the ceasefire. on both sides have i disadvantage for the idf. of the i ceasefire. on both sides have been blaming each other for the

that today come up with israel telling people to move from certain areas and they have released this map showing areas of gaza which will be where they tell people to move to. do you get a sense that israel is really listening to that?- is really listening to that? well, i don't think _ is really listening to that? well, i don't think israel _ is really listening to that? well, i don't think israel actually - is really listening to that? well, i don't think israel actually needs l is really listening to that? well, i l don't think israel actually needs to listen to it because my experience observing the idf over a number of years is that they do everything they possibly can and they go above and beyond the requirements of international law and above and beyond what other countries do in order to minimise civilian casualties, so i don't believe they need that encouragement. the? casualties, so i don't believe they need that encouragement. they have had 15,000 peeple. _ need that encouragement. they have had 15,000 people, the _ need that encouragement. they have had 15,000 people, the authorities i had 15,000 people, the authorities in gaza which are run by hamas, but they say 15,000 people have died in they say 15,000 people have died in the last seven weeks. the? they say15,000 people have died in the last seven weeks.— the last seven weeks. they do say that. and the last seven weeks. they do say that- and of— the last seven weeks. they do say that. and of course, _ the last seven weeks. they do say that. and of course, one - the last seven weeks. they do say that. and of course, one cannot i that. and of course, one cannot trust those figures. and also, of course, a very large number of whatever the number is, a large percentage of it will be hamas terrorists, which is the primary
3:42 pm
target of israel. but you are quite right to emphasise the horrific civilian casualties. the big problem is, as with all wards of this nature, you cannot defeat your enemy without unfortunately incurring civilian casualties, no matter how much effort you put into it —— all wars. israel's track record proportionately is better than for example the us in the uk in afghanistan and iraq. in those conflicts, the us and britain inflicted about three to one, about three civilian casualties for every combatant killed. whereas israel's record in recent conflicts is closer to one or two to one. so i think there is a great deal of misinformation and propaganda about israel's actions. but from my understanding and from my observations, i think israel does all it can to minimise civilian casualties. all it can to minimise civilian casualties-— all it can to minimise civilian casualties. ,, ., , ., casualties. the issue also is not 'ust casualties. the issue also is not just peeple _ casualties. the issue also is not just peeple dying _ casualties. the issue also is not just people dying from - casualties. the issue also is not just people dying from the - casualties. the issue also is not - just people dying from the bombing, but aid agencies have warned about

farming. how disease may even take over the number of deaths from the bombing. —— about famine. the problem is so much anger and so much grief in gaza at the moment that all of this is perhaps acting as a recruiting ground for hamas and that makes israel's objective even harder, which is to try to wipe out hamas. i harder, which is to try to wipe out hamas. ., �* ~' , harder, which is to try to wipe out hamas. ., �* “ , ~ , hamas. i don't think there is any doubt about _ hamas. i don't think there is any doubt about that, _ hamas. i don't think there is any doubt about that, you _ hamas. i don't think there is any doubt about that, you are - hamas. i don't think there is any - doubt about that, you are absolutely right in what you say. i think there are other ways also to address those problems, one of which is for the un to stop doing its job. problems, one of which is for the un to stop doing itsjob. the un was asked by israel i think to set up refugee areas on the south west coast of gaza and the un refused to do so, as i understand it. because they said that would be complicit with israel's war. and the other thing that should be happening is that the egyptian border should be opened to allow civilians in gaza to get out. egypt is under an obligation to do that, under a treaty with the african union, which it is party to, but they refused to
3:44 pm
open up border. i think those are two areas pressure should be applied to to try to alleviate this terrible suffering of the civilian population. suffering of the civilian imputation-— suffering of the civilian --oulation. ., ~' ,, , suffering of the civilian --oulation. ., ~' , . suffering of the civilian --oulation. ., ~ , . ., population. thank you very much for talkin: to population. thank you very much for talking to us. _ population. thank you very much for talking to us, sir _ population. thank you very much for talking to us, sir colonel _ population. thank you very much for talking to us, sir colonel richard - talking to us, sir colonel richard kemp. matt hancock — the former uk secretary of state for health and social care — appeared for the second and final time before the uk covid inquiry. he said that school closures could have been avoided injanuary 2021 if the government had acted more swiftly on spiralling covid cases. if we don't lock down, there will be more deaths, and we will have to have a tough lockdown in the future. so on reflection and with hindsight, i think that if we'd taken action sooner — in september of 2020 — then we might, for instance, have avoided the need to close schools which, in the end,
3:45 pm
we had to because cases were so high byjanuary. 0ur political correspondent peter saull has more. the evidence began this morning, with a focus on autumn 2020, when there was a debate raging in government about whether or not a second covid lockdown was needed. matt hancock was pushing strongly for that at the time. he said today that had it happened sooner, then schools could have stayed open injanuary 2021, which i'm sure will garner attention because the impact on children's education is still very much ongoing. we were also shown a text message exchange from the time, in which matt hancock talks about his frustration, really, with rishi sunak, the then chancellor's position. he was arguing strongly against lockdown at the time, and he says that with the then chancellor in the room, the prime minister will be under "enormous pressure to not do enough once again". also, it came up again today, the comments that matt hancock made that there was a "protective ring" thrown around care homes.
3:46 pm
he said, ultimately, that there were no easy options available to the government. the tests just weren't available for those people who were being discharged out of hospital and put back into care homes. that's still very much an open wound for people who lost loved ones to covid, particularly in the care sector. and some of those actually gathered outside the inquiry here to see him off when he left, after giving his evidence. it's been a difficult day and a half for matt hancock. he has, though, been quite robust in the defence of his actions. he's tried to portray himself as someone who saw the seriousness of the situation earlier than others, but was met with significant resistance internally within government. and that tees things up quite nicely for the next key witness here, borisjohnson, who's been criticised by quite a few of the witnesses for not being able to make decisions quickly enough. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories_ bbc news, bringing you different stories from _ bbc news, bringing you different stories from across _ bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the _ bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. - bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. it i stories from across the uk. national star college in stories from across the uk— national star college in cheltenham,

3:48 pm
the prime minister highlighted britain's role in helping other countries to reduce emissions. climate politics is close to breaking point because the gap between pledges and delivery is undermining credibility. while we make new commitments here, major emitters must dramatically accelerate delivery for what they have already promised. we all need to do more and we were —— we must address the disconnect between lofty rhetoric on stages like this and the reality of people's lives around the world. and the way to do that is by delivering a trulyjust transition. let me be clear, the united kingdom is totally committed to net zero. the paris agreement and to keeping
3:49 pm
1.5 alive. that's why we have de carbonised faster than any other major economy. 0ur carbonised faster than any other major economy. our 2030 target means the deepest cuts of any major emitter, and we are determined to deliver. but instead are putting more pressure on working people we are choosing a pragmatic new approach, we are ramping up renewables and embracing the opportunities of technology and green industry. because we've shown that you can cut emissions while growing the economy and creating jobs. forthose growing the economy and creating jobs. for those facing the worst impacts of climate change, they are desperate for the world to do more. so we're also working to deliver a just transition globally. and that means more support for those most in need. the uk already one of the largest global climate donors and we are tripling our adaptation finance. i've announced a further £1.6 billion for the green climate fund. the uk's biggest single international climate commitment.
3:50 pm
and today, we've gone further, with an additional £1.6 billion of support for clean energy and innovation and to deliver on the historic glasgow forest deal, because we can't get to net zero without nature. this also includes up without nature. this also includes up to £60 million for loss and damage, £40 million of which is for the new fund. and to succeed, the fund must be open to all sources of support. and because the uk is a world leading green finance centre, we are also helping to unlock trillions in private finance to release this need and keep 1.5 degrees within reach. i believe we can deliver here in dubai, but we have got to work together. the debate is too divided, developed versus developing, the truth is simple. we need both. in place of division, we need ambitious collective action like we promised
3:51 pm
in paris and glasgow. that is how we will get back on track, bringing everyone with us. because a truly just transition leaves absolutely no—one behind. the bbc 100 women is this year highlighting climate pioneers who are leading the battle against the climate crisis. among them is dr gladys kalema—zikusoka, who has dedicated much of her life to the protection of the endangered mountain gorillas. their habitat is being eroded by climate change. live now to gladys kalema—zikusoka. hello to you. you certainly win the prize for the best backdrop i have seen today, you are in uganda, but tell us where you are.— seen today, you are in uganda, but tell us where you are. thank you so much for inviting _ tell us where you are. thank you so much for inviting me. _ tell us where you are. thank you so much for inviting me. i— tell us where you are. thank you so much for inviting me. i am - tell us where you are. thank you so much for inviting me. i am at - tell us where you are. thank you so much for inviting me. i am at a - much for inviting me. i am at a national park home to 42% of the world's endangered mountain gorillas. and just where i am right now is outside our field office with a wonderful view of the forest. band

hello there. 0ur freezing—cold run of weather is set to continue for a while yet and certainly through the weekend, probably well into next week, too. now, earlier today, it was a case of white cars in redcar. yes, some early snow here. we also had some snowfall across parts of northern—eastern scotland, eastern areas of england. however, this afternoon, now that 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
3:57 pm
