a child says goodbye to his father — one of dozens of people killed in israeli air strikes, as hostilities resume. a stark warning from the un inside a gaza hospital. this inside a gaza hospital. hospital simply cannot ta ke this hospital simply cannot take more children with wounds of war. expelled — the us congressman accused of fraud, lying and stealing. george santos is kicked out by the house of representatives. plus, the first woman to sit on the us supreme court has died. sandra day o'connor was 93—years—old. i'm helena humphrey, good to have you with us. fighting has resumed in gaza after a seven—day ceasefire between israel and hamas expired. israel says it's hit 200 �*terror targets�* since its bombardment of the gaza strip

resumed. hamas health officials say nearly 180 people have been killed, including three journalists. both sides blame each other for the collapse of the seven day ceasefire. before the temporary ceasefire, israel's military had focused on the north of gaza, including gaza city. but on friday morning, israeli jets dropped leaflets close to the city of khan younis, telling people to "evacuate immediately and go to shelters in rafah" in the south of the territory near the egyptian border. israel's military went on to hit targets in both rafah and khan younis. our senior international correspondent orla guerin sent this report from tel aviv — and a warning that viewers may find it distressing. gaza awoke to this. 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 of one family were killed here in their own home. in khan younis, frenzied digging with bare hands. israel says it is striking hamas in its strongholds. tell that to this girl. she says they were sleeping 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 early this morning and refused to release all the women it's holding. once again, inside gaza, there is war. and more than two million palestinians are trapped. with israel promising to hit hard. having chosen to hold on to our women, hamas will now take the mother of all thumpings. as of now, after hamas violated the framework for a pause in the fighting, hostilities have resumed and the idf has resumed combat against the hamas army of terror in the gaza strip. but this family is 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. hour after hour, more wounded children. a un official was inside a gaza hospital when the truce ended. this hospital simply cannot take more children with the wounds of war. there are children everywhere. these children were sleeping. there was a bomb literally 50 metres from here. hamas blaming israel for the collapse of the ceasefire. this time around, as gaza is bombarded, america insists israel must do more to avoid massive loss of civilian life.

orla guerin, bbc news, tel aviv. our bbc arabic correspondent, adnan el—bursh and cameraman mahmoud al ajrami, are both from gaza and currently based near khan younis. over the last few days they have been following the life of one family forced to move from their home who are now living in a makeshift camp in the south. this, but the music stopped and was replaced by the sound of shelling. was replaced by the sound of shellinu. ., ., , shelling. their home was destroyed. _ shelling. their home was destroyed. this - shelling. their home was destroyed. this is - shelling. their home was destroyed. this is the - shelling. their home was. destroyed. this is the new reality. meet this mother of three and grandmother to her

one—year—old granddaughter. translation: we struggled a lot, the rain entered our tent and trashed our mattresses. in the morning i had to bathe my grandchild and freezing water. they showed me a video of what her home used to look like. every tent tells a story, each one a family and how their lives have been changed forever, the houses replaced by plastic, held down by stones. here, food is hard to find. the camp is dirty. water is scarce.

their old life is gone. translation: we want to go back to our homes in the north, we feel like strangers here. the un has called the situation in gaza "catastrophic", as airstrikes resume and thousands of displaced people struggle to find food, shelter and clean water. hani almadoun, head of philanthropy at the un agency for palestinian refugees spoke to my colleague catriona perry. thank you so much forjoining us on bbc news, and can ijust begin by expressing our condolences to you on the loss of your brother, his wife and our children who were killed in gaza last week. this conflict is thousands of miles away but for you and so many palestinians and israelis, outside of the region, it is still very raw and real.

absolutely, i appreciate your words of sympathy, it has been a tough few days, eight days now, and every day, i am learning about grief, your eyes are worth very often, i love my brother and his family, and i don't want to lose any more family members.— don't want to lose any more family members. the ceasefire ended all morning, _ family members. the ceasefire ended all morning, israeli - ended all morning, israeli attacks on khan younis and in gaza, what are you hearing from your colleagues on the ground they are about the current situation?— they are about the current situation? ., ., ., situation? nothing good, we know that — situation? nothing good, we know that the _ situation? nothing good, we know that the israelis - situation? nothing good, we know that the israelis have l know that the israelis have suspended deliveries, humanitarian aid, fuel into gaza, so zero trucks entering gaza, so zero trucks entering gaza, not fuel for hospitals, not food, flower, none of that is happening in our colleagues arejust some of

is happening in our colleagues are just some of their resources are stretched thin, and he mentioned those places, my in—laws are in khan younis, my in—laws are in khan younis, my uncle got bombed today so he went to hospital, he pledged to never sleep in an apartment again, he pledged to sleep outside in the street, so this is not something happy and the people do not have the power —— the people that do have the power to stop this are not brave enough to stop it, obviously my family and other families and civilians are continuing to pay the toll for this, and my colleagues, we lost 111 staff, today somebody passed away from their injuries and those are great people, delivering aid, trying to support under difficult circumstances, so we continue today, people we know, we love and people we work with, our colleagues, the people doing the work on the ground are not feeling safe, they still try to

vaccinate people since the war started in gaza 12,000 kids receive their vaccination, and that's our commitment to the refugees, we continue to do the best we can, but without fuel, without food, you have reduced the population of 2.2 million people to the breadline. this is not sustainable and this is not a secret, decision—makers have done this by design. ukraine's domestic spy agency detonated explosives on a russian railway line deep in siberia on friday. a ukrainian source has told reuters it is the second attack on military supply routes in the area this week. the explosives were detonated as a freight train crossed the chertov bridge in siberia's bur—yatia region, thousands of kilometres from ukraine. our correspondentjessica parker has more on the attack from kyiv. this happened along a stretch of railway which runs to the

border of china, the far east of russia, thousands of kilometres away from ukraine, and what a senior ukrainian official has told us is ukraine security services managed to engineer two explosions, one on a train running through a tunnel and later on on a train running across a bridge. they say that was to try and disable a line, they say it was used by russia for military purposes. russian media are reporting a first instance in the tunnel is being investigated and russian rail authorities have talked about that instance as well saying that a fire or smoke was seen on the freight train but it only caused slight delays, and the extent of damage that may have been caused by this instance really is not clear at the moment, but what perhaps is is here's keenness to show its ability to strike infrastructure targets inside russian territory. food was the main topic at the cop28 summit in dubai on friday, where world leaders

are gathered to discuss ways to combat climate change. more than 130 countries signed a declaration promising to tackle food and agriculture's role in climate change. food production is responsible for a third of the warming gases that increase global temperatures. leaders, including king charles, told cop28 that time was running out to tackle climate change. but another leader who made headlines, brazil's president lula da silva, bluntly said world leaders lack ambition when it comes to tackling climate issues, and the evidence suggests he is right. the world meteorological organization reports that with a month to go in 2023, the average global temperature is on track to be 1.4 degrees celsius above pre—industrial levels. that falls short of the goal of the 2015 paris climate agreement, which was to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees celsius, and to pursue efforts to keep warming within the much safer limit of 1.5. few believe that that can be achieved. among those sceptical of that goal is billionaire founder

of microsoft bill gates, who is in attendance at the dubai summit. my colleague carl nasman asked him if there's hope global warming could be kept to that 1.5 degrees threshold. 1.5 is not likely to be achieved... you don't think so? no. the reduction you need for that is quite dramatic. but, you know, the extreme scenarios like 4 degrees, fortunately because of the changes, that is off the table. wherever we end up, the less warming the better. and scaling these things up, it is replacing most of our physical economy. i have often said this is one of the hardest things we will ever do. the rich countries have to lead by example and get their emissions down quickly. and with innovation, that becomes possible.

the world health organization's director—general special envoy for climate change and health vanessa kerry discusses the risk climate change continues to play in everyday life. i am concerned because the climate crisis is without question a health crisis and i think it is deeply underestimated by many people around the world. already, a new studyjust came out a few days ago that indicates that over 8 million deaths a year are from air pollution specifically. and of those 8 million, 5 million are directly from fossil fuel use. those numbers are much higher than we had originally estimated. we know that health impacts us in every — our health is being impacted by climate change in every possible way. if you just look at what happened in libya — a storm that was created by climate change swept 20,000 people out to see and killed them immediately. it impacts our cardiovascular health — diseases like malaria. we see it impact our access

to food and agriculture, as you spoke about, which affects our nutrition. we're seeing it in terms of how it impacts our mental health. so, we are being impacted by climate change and our well—being is being threatened every single day. here in the us, the house of representatives voted to expel the now former new york congressman george sa ntos. mr santos reached the threshold of votes needed to become the sixth congressman ever expelled from the house and he's the first in more than 20 years — the last was in 2002. mr santos is also subject to 23 federal charges, including wire fraud and money laundering. our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue looks back at how we got here. i will go to washington to fight for the american dream. a first—generation son of brazilian immigrants, george santos' version of the american dream has turned him into a laughing stock, fodder for late—night comedians. because i was the first openly gayjewish republican latino to walk on the moon. do you have a problem with that?! in fact, the dream was one long series of overinflated

and fictitious tales, ending with today's ignominious exit from congress. well, good morning, everybody. with that comes a comfortable pension and a £138,000 salary. this is bullying! but george santos is far from a victim. when i first started in my career at citigroup, i was told, "oh, you're a really smart guy". he lied about working on wall street. he lied about attending prestigious universities. he even claimed falsely his grandparents escaped the holocaust and that his mother died from the effects of being in the world trade center on 9/11. she was, in fact, in brazil. i'm very proud of my jewish heritage. after claiming to be a proud americanjew, he produced perhaps the mostjaw—dropping of all his explanations. i'm catholic but i'm alsojew—ish, as an ish. i'mjew—ish. laughs. can you tell us the details of your alleged assassination

attempt? but more than the lies, it was the alleged crimes that kept piling up that did for him. he's facing 23 criminal charges. among them, multiple counts of wire fraud, two counts of identity theft, three of money laundering and lying to congress — all designed, say prosecutors, to enrich himself, and some of it spent on botox, fancy clothes and subscriptions to the onlyfans website. he denies all the charges. it's just the sixth time in the 233—year history of the house of representatives that a member has been expelled. —— 23a—year. and in a country that has become used to its leaders talking about so—called alternate facts and subjective truths, george santos's downfall is perhaps surprising. the new york constituents who voted him in now not so sure. i think he's a crook and i'm glad that he's no longer going to be

serving in congress. it's not an extraordinary thing for a politician to lie but there's got to be some truth sometime. the now former congressman could face years in prison if convicted. this american dream looks set for less than a happy ending. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, washington. staying in the us — and the first woman to sit on the supreme court, justice sandra day o'connor, has died at aged 93. she was appointed by president ronald reagan in 1981. in 1992, it was her ruling in planned parenthood v casey that reaffirmed a woman's right to an abortion — a decision that was overturned decades later. in 2000, justice o'connor was the deciding vote in the case that effectively allowed george bush to ascend to the presidency after a contested election and in 2004, she ruled against the bush administration's post—9/11 detainee policy, establishing due process for detained us citizens. she sat in that chair for more than 2a years, retiring in 2006. when she was asked in 2013

what she'd like her legacy to be, here's what she said. i would like it to be that i was the first woman to serve on the court, and i did a decentjob. i think that is a good legacy. for more, i spoke to sarah suggs, the president and ceo at the sandra day o'connor institute. sarah, thank you for taking the time to be with us. sandra day o'connor, the first woman to be a supreme court justice. what do you say is her legacy? that, as you stated, she was the first woman on the united states supreme court and she shattered the glass ceiling for an equal branch of power within our governmental structure. it's extraordinary. talking about shattering that glass ceiling, do you think she faced challenges as a woman?

i'd read that despite getting very good grades in law school, she then struggled even to find a job when she was out of university. that's true. she graduated third in her class at stanford law. number one was william rehnquist who came number one and he went on to become chief justice. but not only were men offered jobs, she could not even get an interview, so she initially worked for nothing for the city attorney san mateo and then earned her stipend, as she called it, and the rest was history. but i do think her perseverance and the discrimination she faced, all of the things that she had to do, she struggled for — to accomplish every step of the way. nothing came easy. but she always found a way to achieve her goals. in terms, then, of her time on the bench, what do you think stood out in terms of her opinions and her votes?

well, as a member of the arizona state legislature, she was the senate majority leader and prior to that, was an assistant attorney general. i think having served in all three branches of government — one of the few justices who have had that experience — gave her a more balanced view of how the law works, from different perspectives. i do think it impacted her jurisprudence and just her pragmatic approach to things. she was persuaded by the facts, compassionate and also sought to find consensus. you mentioned there asserting kind of practicality but she wasn't someone who necessarily always conformed with what might be expected of her as a member of a conservative party, right? well, no, but she was a lifelong, long—time republican and i think she was also an independent

thinker — a small i. she worked on a number of campaigns early in her life after graduating from college and moving to arizona but i also think that she was more — perhaps even keeled and sometimes had different points of view and, as i mentioned, persuaded by facts, depending on the issue. i want to touch on her role with regards to roe v wade, being instrumental in that and then seeing reversed with the appointment of alito after she departed. well, justice was not one to express much when it came to opinions of court. she'd been asked many times — and i'd been with her many times over the course of years — and she was often asked what about this or that?

she was very unreserved in that and let the opinion stand and speak for themselves most often. and, of course, she left the court to look after her husband, who died from alzheimer's disease. how do you think she felt about that? well, they were a devoted couple, married for many decades. a very loving couple, an inspirational couple. and the devotion she demonstrated tojohn is an inspiration, i think, to all couples of a long marriage and duration. i think after he passed, there was certainly a void in her life and three years later is when she founded our institute and she went on to accomplish great things in her retirement. sarah suggs, the president and ceo of the sandra day o'connor institute, very good to talk to you. thank you. thank you very much. let's turn to some important news around the world. two rulings on former president donald trump. a federal appeals court in washington says he can be sued over the january 6th capitol riot. mr trump claims he's entitled to sweeping immunity

from the suits. in a separate case, a usjudge rejected mr trump's claim that he has presidential immunity from criminal charges. el salvador�*s president nayib bukele has stood down from his post on a temporary basis in order to run for a second term next year. under the central american country's constitution mr bukele can only run for re—election if he has not been in office for the preceding six months. his opponents say the move is illegal. three, two, one. and spacex has launched a rocket carrying south korea's first military spy satellite. the mission intensifies the surveillance race with north korea, which successfully put its own reconnaissance satellite into space last week. south korea plans to launch a total of five spy satellites by 2025 with the aim of having a 24—hour watch over the korean peninsula.

actor macaulay culkin — best known for his portrayal of kevin macallister in the hit christmas film series home alone — has been honoured on the hollywood walk of fame. one, two, three! cheering and applause the 43—year—old began his career on stage at the age of four, before rising to stardom in the home alone films. he won a golden globe award for his role as kevin mccallister, but starred in many other roles during his four—decade career in show business. he was joined at the ceremony by his fiancee, fellow actress brenda song, and their two kids, and made sure to end his speech delivering perhaps his most iconic line. to wrap things up in the spirit of the holiday season, i just want to say merry christmas, ya filthy animals! stay with us here on bbc news.

hello there. next week will gradually turn milder, wetter and windier but before then, this weekend, we're still in this very cold and frosty air with quite a few wintry hazards to come this weekend. there'll be some areas of fog which will be slow to lift. we've also got the risk of snow and ice but this time, probably a bit further south across the uk. now, these are the temperatures we're starting with first thing in the morning. a widespread frost — could be as low as —10 celsius in scotland. and following the earlier showers around these coastal areas, some icy patches — so, too, with that wintry weather coming into south west scotland. this is the area of mist, fog and low cloud. it will gradually shrink, break up. some sunshine comes through in most parts of the country. could stay grey and murky across parts of east anglia and lincolnshire. we've got more of these showers coming into north west england, into west wales and the far south—west of england. it is going to be a cold day on saturday after that frosty start. typical temperatures in the afternoon, 1—3 celsius. and coming into that colder

air, this wet weather will push its way eastwards. we've got more of these showers coming into north west england, into west wales and the far south—west of england. it is going to be a cold day on saturday after that frosty start. typical temperatures in the afternoon, 1—3 celsius. and coming into that colder air, this wet weather will push its way eastwards. brings the risk of some sleet and snow inland, mainly north of the ma, up into northern england, but it could turn very icy for a while even the risk of some quite dangerous freezing rain. bit drier for scotland and also for northern ireland. very frosty once again in scotland — temperatures again could be down to —10 celsius or so. heading into sunday and we've still got some of that wet weather along the easternmost parts of england. a bit of sleet and snow in that. that will move away. and then, across these southern areas, some more rain develops. the risk of some sleet and snow just on the northern edge. a lot of cloud for england and wales. a few showers coming into northern ireland. still dry and quite sunny, i think, in scotland. particularly cold

here through the day. temperatures rising a bit in that rain in the south — could make double figures in the south—west of england. and overnight, we may see some more rain coming in as well but this area of low pressure is deepening, the winds are strengthening and that is moving northwards into that block of colder air. so, not only have we got some wet and windy weather, we've also got the risk of some snow falling in some inland areas. and even further north with those winds off the north sea, quite a few wintry showers coming into eastern parts of scotland and some showers feeding through the irish sea into western areas of wales. those temperatures beginning to rise just a little bit but there is milder weather later on in the week.

voice—over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. could this be italy's hidden gem? i'm going off the beaten track, deep into the south. i can feel the music. it's such a good vibe. for generations, it's where italians have been holidaying, but is the secret out? this is in a place that's steeped in tradition and at the same time, it's rapidly modernising. known as the land of two seas, you are never far from the coast. oh, it's so refreshing! for the longest time, many of its ancient stone towns have been rapidly declining but now, the call�*s going out around the world for people to live, buy and invest here.

this is unbelievable. look at these views.
