against the netherlands. good evening, welcome to the bbc news at six. fighting has resumed in gaza after a seven—day ceasefire between israel and hamas expired this morning. the israeli military says it's struck more than 200 what it called "terror targets". hamas, which is proscribed as a terorist organisation by the uk government, says more than 100 people have been killed. before the pause in fighting, israel's military had focussed on the north of gaza, including places like gaza city. this morning, israeli jets dropped leaflets near the city of khan younis, telling people to get out immediately and go to shelters in rafah in the south of the country, near the egyptian border. but israel's military has hit targets today both in rafah

and khan younis. our senior international correspondent orla guerin reports from sderot, just across the border from gaza. gaza awoke to this. a new day of israeli bombing. skies darkened by ash and debris. in rafah, survivors snatched from the rubble. a baby brought out alive. but palestinians say 12 members s of one family were killed here in their own homes. in khan younis, frenzied digging with bare hands. shock and grief all around. israel says it is striking hamas in its strongholds. tell that to her. she says they were sleep and

woke to the sound of a strike. we didn't know where it was, she says, we ran to see and it was our home. from southern israel we could see and hear the return to battle. the view now from inside gaza is of black smoke on the horizon. the ceasefire well and truly over. israel is blaming hamas for all this, saying it fired rockets earlier this morning and refused to release all the women it is holding. once again, inside gaza, there is war. and more than two million palestinians are trapped. with israel promising to hit hard. having chose on the _ israel promising to hit hard. having chose on the hold _ israel promising to hit hard. having chose on the hold on _ israel promising to hit hard. having chose on the hold on to our - israel promising to hit hard. having| chose on the hold on to our women, hamas will now take the mother of all thumpings. as of now, after

hamas violated the frame work for a pause, hostilities have resumed and the idf has resumed is combat. but the idf has resumed is combat. but the are the idf has resumed is combat. but they are mourning a civilian. he leaves behind four children. ahmed says a last goodbye and tries to keep the flies away. then his brothers take their turn. the family told the bbc the man was killed when israel bombed their apartment block. ahmed's mother told him his daddy is going to heaven. as civilians suffer again, hamas says it offered to extend the truce

and release more hostages, but israel refused. america says israel must do more this time to avoid civilian casualties. our international editorjeremy bowen is injerusalem. what is the strategy, what happens next here? well, that is a very big question. i said in the headline there were challenges for both side. for hamas it is about survival and as long as they have one man who can pull a trigger they will say they have survived. for israel it is more complex, despite their military power, because the americans have said they need to keep allowing in humanitarian aid and the un has said it is beyond concerned, that is a quote, that no aid has gone into

gaza today. and the americans have stated clearly, the secretary of state blinken said that israel has to respect the laws of war, it has to respect the laws of war, it has to make sure that a lot of civilians don't get killed, it cannot fight in the way that it did in northern gaza before. but you heard the talk from the israeli spokesman, talking of the israeli spokesman, talking of the mother of all thumpings, the americans want them to do that in a such a way that in thumping hamas they don't kill thousands more civilians. in a high intensity war, the chances of that going... the american plan going wrong i think are probably greater than it going right. are probably greater than it going riuht. . ~' ,. king charles has warned that the world is "dreadfully far off track" in tackling global warming. addressing world leaders at the cop—28 climate

conference in dubai, he said the gathering needed to be a "critical turning point". the prime minister rishi sunak is also at the summit — he said the uk was still a leader in tackling climate change. our deputy political editor vicki young reports from dubai. this was a flying visit by rishi sunak, who spentjust12 hours here in dubai, plenty of time he said to get things done. he has been accused of being uninterested in green issue, but says that he is proud of uk's achievements. the day started with a speech by king charles, words that were government—approved. his choice of tie maybe wasn't, covered in greek flags. the king said the dangers of climate change were no longer distant risks.— longer distant risks. ladies and gentlemen _ longer distant risks. ladies and gentlemen in — longer distant risks. ladies and gentlemen in your— longer distant risks. ladies and gentlemen in your hands - longer distant risks. ladies and gentlemen in your hands is - longer distant risks. ladies and gentlemen in your hands is an l gentlemen in your hands is an unmissable opportunity to keep our common hope alive. i can only urge

is a call out to world leaders for theirfailure to do is a call out to world leaders for their failure to do enough and he may criticise western countries for their irresponsible lifestyles. thank you. buckingham palace has said it is considering all options, after the king and princess of wales were identified as two members of the royal family who allegedly discussed the skin colour of prince harry and meghan's son. the names appeared in a dutch translation of a book by omid scobie. he insists the naming was an error by the publisher. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. it certainly isn't the backdrop the palace had wanted for the king's speech to the cop climate conference, a significant speech by a british monarch vying for attention with another drama involving the british royal family. the king is now revealed alongside the princess of wales as the royal family members who supposedly made comments about the skin colour of the sussex�*s then unborn first baby.

the king and the princess were identified in the dutch edition of the latest royal book. the book's author says he doesn't know how it happened. the book i wrote, the book i edited, the book i signed off on did not have names in it. but how well—founded is all of this? let's go back to the moment that started it all — meghan's interview in 2021 with oprah winfrey when she said this... and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he is born. what? moments after the line that captured all the headlines, it becomes clear that meghan didn't actually hear the alleged remarks herself. it was a conversation with you? with harry. about how dark your baby is going to be? j potentially and what that would mean or look like. woo! that was relayed to me from harry. those were conversations that family had with him. in other words, meghan

relied on harry's account of the conversation and harry has subsequently placed the whole matter in a broader context. you speak to any other couple, mixed race couple around the world and you will probably find that the white side of the family have either openly discussed it or secretly discussed, you know, "what are the kids going to look like?" again for me the difference is unconscious bias and racism, but if that... ..if you're called out for unconscious bias, you need to make that right. so a matter the family had hoped was over has reappeared. the prince and princess of wales ignored questions as they arrived at the royal albert hall. buckingham palace is "considering all options", though quite what those options are isn't clear. train drivers who are members of the aslef union have voted to continue strike action for the next six months —

your services check the bbc web—site. in terms of dispute, the train companies say an 8% pay rise is fair and reasonable. aslef says there are too many strings attached. i have to say there are no more fresh negotiations planned at this stage and aslef drivers today voted to extend the industrial action until at least the summer. thank ou. our top story this evening. people in the south of gaza are told to flee for their own safety after the seven—day temporary ceasefire with israel expired this morning. it's staying very cold into the weekend. there's going to be some frost, more ice, and maybe some snow. our focus is going to turn to more southern parts of the uk, and i'll show you why later on. coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news —

ronnie o'sullivan does it the hard way — again. but he's into the semifinals at the uk championship in york. the headteacher of an autistic teenager who died after being hit by a car outside his house says the local authority failed to support him — after deeming his care too expensive. it follows a bbc investigation which highlighted serious failings in the care of dozens of young autistic people across england and wales before they died. ruth clegg has the story. "dear ms akinde, thank you for making me feel safe. i like to be in your school. thank you, from isaac." isaac loved school, but as his head teacher, frances believes she was part of a system that failed him. the 16—year—old died after being hit by a car last year. i said to myself, if i stay quiet

on this, i'm part of that. we're meant to be advocates. we're meant to be the voice for children that can't speak. you know, that haven't got that voice. isaac was autistic and had a learning disability. as he got older, he became increasingly anxious, frightened and began to lash out. isaac's family have given permission for frances to tell their son story. his parents were crying out for help. leading up to christmas we noticed, you know, he was still struggling with his behaviors. we were constantly ringing the local authority and saying, we need some support, we're really worried about him. instead of offering that vital support to manage his behaviour, which had become more volatile and out of control, frances says his family were told to lock the 16—year—old in the house to try keep him safe. the social worker went round to his house, did risk assessments and everything else like that and said to the local authority, he needs more support.

one of the hardest things was getting an email from his social worker saying, my manager has deemed that support is... we can't justify it. just over a week later, he was hit by a car. frances believes the local authority's lack of support contributed to isaac's death. isaac is the third autistic child that bbc news identified to die in the kent and medway area, each time against a backdrop of allegations of poor support. after we highlighted the deaths of sammy and stefan, two teenagers who died afterfailings in their care, nhs kent and medway said it was improving services for other young autistic people. frances believes that not only was isaac failed when he was alive, there has been little accountability after his death. part of me feels like if his parents had known the system, what would that have looked like? if his parents knew where to go, where to fight and everything else, what would that have looked like? unless you know the system,

you don't get anywhere. and that's the difficulty. frances feels that this wasn't just a tragic accident, a chance happening. i don't think that we're curious enough or clear enough about whose accountability, responsibility is for these children. of course, different agencies need to be involved. my fear is that when it comes to the tragic circumstances that so often we see, sadly, that actually, no one's clear whose job it is to keep these children safe. in response, medway council said their children's social work team acted promptly to provide direct support to the family and in addition, they arranged for an emergency review to take place around isaac's education. but frances does not want this young man's death to go unnoticed. i want people to apologise and say, we made mistakes, we should have put more care and we should have put more support in place. i want them to think of isaac as an example of what happens

when you don't care enough. ruth clegg, bbc news. details of organisations that provide support around autism or mental health are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline. the violence outside villa park last night was the worst police had seen at a football match in more than 20 years, according to the west midlands police federation. 46 fans were arrested at the aston villa fixture against the polish side legia warsaw, after violence erupted when about 1,000 away supporters weren't given tickets. all the people arrested were warsaw fans. our correspondent phil mackie is at the ground. this erupted 2a hours ago ahead of aston villa's europa conference

league match last night. 1000 legia warsaw fans were gathered here, the club officials had been given them but didn't distribute them and that's why webster midlands police believe the violence began and that led to running battles along this road. some of the pictures show how bad things got. four officers were hurt, one suffered smoke inhalation, two police dogs were hurt, 46 legia warsaw fans were arrested for various offences including violent disorder, weapons offences and assaulting police officers. the good news for aston villa fans on the pitch was that they won the match and will qualify for the knockout stages of the conference week. the bad news is the violence cast a shadow. uefa said it strongly condemns the violence that took place last night and said it would be closely monitoring the official report that comes both from the clubs involved and the police to see

what action may be taken against legia as the competition progresses. thank you. the former health secretary matt hancock has told the covid inquiry that if the government had acted more swiftly, school closures could have been avoided in january 2021. he's been giving evidence to the inquiry for a second day — and our political editor chris mason was watching. in the chair of scrutiny, matt hancock, the health secretary for england when the pandemic struck. five hours of questioning yesterday, more today and a consistent theme. tougher restrictions earlier would have been better, he claimed, on reflection and with hindsight i think that if we take an action sooner in september of 2020, then we might, for instance, have avoided the need to close schools, which in the end we had to because cases

were so high byjanuary. mr hancock was asked today about his affair with a university friend who worked for him at the department of health, a revelation that did little for his dignity or political career. you obviously transgressed yourself. there were a number of transgressions in public life. it is important that those who make the rules abide by them and i resigned in order to take accountability for my failure to do that. matt hancock accused the former first minister of scotland nicola sturgeon of unhelpful spin during covid. nonsense, she insists. and on the decision to discharge people from hospital into care homes in england without knowing if they had covid, he had this to say. every decision was a choice between difficult options.

nobody has yet brought to me a solution to this problem that was that was that... ..i think even with hindsight would have resulted in more lives saved. larry burn caught covid in a care home and later died in hospital. his son, also called larry, was in the public gallery here today. did matt hancock say anything that changed your mind? no, nothing at all. was there anything he could have said? no, no. sorry— is too late in the day. sadly, my dear father and many other loved ones have died. borisjohnson will be here next week. rishi sunak is expected the week after. now a look at some other stories making the news today. house prices have risen for the third month in a row, according to new data. nationwide building society said the cost of a home went up by 0.2% in october, amid what it called encouraging signs that mortgage rates are starting to fall. two holiday parks run by pontins have closed without explanation.

the home office said neither of the sites, in prestatyn in denbighshire, and camber sands in east sussex, will be used to house asylum seekers. pontins has apologised for the sudden closures, and says refunds will be given to affected holiday makers. everton have appealed against the decision to dock them 10 premier league points for breaches of financial rules. the toffees were handed the largest punishment in premier league history by an independent commission. the appeal will be heard before the end of the season. the lionesses kick off against the netherlands injust over an hour — in a match they must win to keep alive hopes of team gb qualifying for next year's olympics. lionesses fans on their visit to

wembley stadium, having won the euros here. tonight england face a different kind of challenge with the hopes of qualifying for the olympic games next summer are hanging by a thread. england find themselves with two games to play. they hope other results go their way. the captain is out with a knee injury so mary earps will wear the captain's armband. jae will wear the captain's armband. joe currie will wear the captain's armband. joe currie at a very noisy wembley stadium, sorry for the tricky sound. many of us may be feeling chilly at the moment — and we'll have more on that in a moment — but there are visitors coming here to escape even colder climes. there's been an increase in the number of short eared owls

seen along the east coast — and they've come from scandinavia and russia. the sight is proving quite a treat, as danny savage has been finding out. on open land to the east of the industries of hull is a bit of a head—turner. no, they don'tjust come out at night. short—eared owls hunt during the day. they're causing a bit of a stir among bird—watchers and the winter light is good for photographers like david. everybody likes owls and because they are so easy to see, people get to hear and they want to come and see them. i know people locally who aren't necessarily bird—watchers or photographers, who just want to come and have a look at them. further up the east yorkshire coast is the rspb reserve at benson. it's great to see you out for an owl walk this afternoon. so, it's owls and birds of prey we'll be looking for. here, there are guided walks to see the owls. they are just great.

it must be something about the big eyes, the fluffiness of them. they are really beautiful birds. we've watched them here before coming in off the sea and to think an owl with all those feathers on it has just flown across the north sea, it'sjust incredible. retired bricklayerjim took up photography during covid — and he's not bad at it. he snapped these this afternoon. if the light�*s right, it's all about the light. it's become like my park bench up here, do you know what i mean? you meet so many people, that's what it's all about. one chap told me, it's good for the soul. and you agree? i do agree, 100%. the truth is, though, you don't need lots of expensive equipment and long lenses to see these owls. as somebody said to me this afternoon, be quiet and be still and they can come quite close. this year has seen an above average number of these birds along this coastal area. that's encouraging, because there are concerns about its conservation status. there is still much to learn about these endearing hunters. danny savage, bbc

news, east yorkshire. the cold snap that has hit the uk has brought snow to several parts of the country. it made for some bracing morning walks in north east england — this was the scene in gateshead. while others strolled in the snow around the white lighthouse at seaburn in sunderland. it was a chilly day across the country — here's a view of wintry conditions on dartmoor in devon. and there was striking scenery for some motorists. this was the a939 near grantown on spey. and just look at the angel of the north, presiding over the a1 near gateshead. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. it will get much milder next week but it's going to remain very cold. more snow and ice in the forecast as well. this was the picture here in

scotland but by this time tomorrow we could be talking snow and ice much further south across the uk. a few wintry showers to move away from the north sea coasts in northern scotland and then overnight a bit of rain until snow into south—west scotland and eventually into cumbria. icy conditions in these areas because of the showers. temperatures of —6 in scotland. there will be a widespread, sharp frost overnight and there could be mist, fog and low cloud through parts of the midlands, eastern england. most will lift but it could stay grey in east anglia. sunny spells, a few wintry showers in south—west scotland and north—west england. if you are arriving into wales on the far south—west. another cold day, typical temperature is only 1—3. and this time tomorrow, some wet weather pushing east. that will bring a mixture of rain and snow. snow more likely north of the m4. we could have freezing rain
