1:01 pm
we begin with breaking news and in the past half hour or so we received a statement from mossad, which is israel's intelligence body. it says there has been an impasse in negotiations for a further temporary ceasefire. we have heard some conflicting suggestions in the last 2a hours about what happens when that ceasefire came to an end at seven o'clock yesterday morning and we were told i had been intensive talks up were told i had been intensive talks up until the last minutes but in the last hour or so the reuters news agency have reported a team from the israeli mossad in doha negotiating
1:02 pm
for a resumption of the ceasefire deal. negotiating to try to release some of the female hostages and perhaps a hostages as well but very shortly after that there was so statement from the israeli prime ministers office who said the situation was quite different and that there was in fact an impasse in negotiations and benjamin netanyahu had urged his team to leave doha and qatar and come back to israel. it looks like for no those talks have broken down and are not going anywhere soon. this is the live scene across gaza at the moment.
1:03 pm
this is the scene looking across at northern gaza. a convoy of humanitarian aid has crossed into gaza for the first time since thursday. the fighting is back to when it was before the ceasefire. the deal included an increase in humanitarian aid that was able to pass from egypt into gaza, more than 200 trucks every day and that included a small amount of diesel and fuel. when things broke down yesterday morning the aids stopped for 2h hours but today we have been told the red
1:04 pm
cross and red crescent societies set 50 or so trucks are got through but there was no fuel involved in the convoy so we're back to the way things were before the ceasefire kicked ten. it will continue hear the sound of outgoing fire but we know there have been israeli air strikes in north—west gaza and in where khan younis we are people fled at the beginning of the fighting. the hamas—run health ministry say at least 193 people have been killed and more than 650 people injured since fighting restarted in gaza yesterday. at the nasser we were hearing again they were struggling dealing with people injured in the strikes and
1:05 pm
dealing with a lesser amount of humanitarian aid coming in since the deal broke down we start with this report from our middle east correspondent hugo bachega. the night sky lit up by israel's air strikes. in khan younis, in southern gaza, the heaviest bombardment since the start of the war. the day reveals the destruction. israel says it is fighting hamas, palestinians say there were only civilians in this building, no fighters. this woman fled her home when the air strike started and her brother was killed. ~ air strike started and her brother was killed-— was killed. when we heard the bombin: was killed. when we heard the bombing he — was killed. when we heard the bombing he was _ was killed. when we heard the bombing he was telling - was killed. when we heard the bombing he was telling people was killed. when we heard the i bombing he was telling people to was killed. when we heard the - bombing he was telling people to get out, get out and then we heard he was set.
1:06 pm
in central gaza, children were taken to this hospital — the new casualties putting more pressure on a system already on the verge of collapse. we do know that there are exerted efforts to renew the delivery of human attendance systems, and we also call for not only going back to the pause, which brought quite some respite to people in gaza, but also, for a humanitarian ceasefire. in southern gaza, people are on the move. the israeli military has dropped leaflets with evacuation orders. here, a qr code, indicating places for residents to go. internet and electricity are limited in gaza. how people will be able to access the information isn't clear. in the north, israel's ground offensive continues. the military released this footage of its soldiers fighting on foot, amid the destruction. efforts to pause the fighting continue. people in gaza still hope for peace but, again,
1:07 pm
they're counting the dead. hugo bachega, bbc news, jerusalem. i just want to show you again those live pictures from khan younis. this is outside al nasser hospital. reports indicate the city is seeing some of the heaviest bombardments of the war yet. israel's defence forces have said they are now looking to the south. these pictures showing some of the injured being transported for treatment. we talked about the advantages of rockets which sometimes come from gaza and to israel and we had the
1:08 pm
air raid sirens. let's now speak to gaza correspondent, rushdi abualouf, who is currently in istanbul. i want to ask about the ceasefire talks because you have a lot of different contacts and connections. we have heard those talks seemingly have broken down altogether and the israeli delegation have left doha and come back for in israeli delegation have left doha and come back fo— and come back for in the last 20 minutes i _ and come back for in the last 20 minutes i made _ and come back for in the last 20 minutes i made a _ and come back for in the last 20 minutes i made a call— and come back for in the last 20 minutes i made a call to - and come back for in the last 20 minutes i made a call to people| and come back for in the last 20 - minutes i made a call to people and qatar and they claim that talks have collapsed. 0ne
1:09 pm
qatar and they claim that talks have collapsed. one said hamas said they offered everything including handling some of the dead bodies and some of the civilian hostages and israel made it very clear they want some sort of soldiers for the same price and hamas not willing to give anything for the same price, courting the senior official in doha and no more talks that i am aware of. the egyptians and qataris are working to find another ceasefire and other humanitarian pause but it seems it will not happen soon. what
1:10 pm
seems it will not happen soon. what about pebble — seems it will not happen soon. what about people and — seems it will not happen soon. what about people and gaza _ seems it will not happen soon. what about people and gaza who had the period of seven days of no fighting but now it has resumed as fiercely as it was. what impact is it having on people there? i as it was. what impact is it having on people there?— as it was. what impact is it having on people there? i have spent four weeks in nasser _ on people there? i have spent four weeks in nasser hospital— on people there? i have spent four weeks in nasser hospital and - on people there? i have spent four weeks in nasser hospital and the l weeks in nasser hospital and the situation is very tense and dangerous and they were hoping that in the seven days of the ceasefire they could receive more aid but there was not enough to allow this hospital, the main medical centre in gaza since the previous one collapsed, and they were hoping to receive more aid and more medical
1:11 pm
equipment to be able to cope with the number of people. the focus of the number of people. the focus of the operation since last night was khan younis and we saw at least as 50 air strikes overnight but this morning the destroyed two high towers in the middle of khan younis on the western side and we understand the israelis dropped leaflets asking people to leave a city. they completely destroyed two of the towers in the middle of khan younis. those air strikes are taking place inside khan younis and targeted air strikes everywhere and khan younis and also across the gaza
1:12 pm
strip 200 people were killed over night and since the fighting resumed the focus is in the south and not the focus is in the south and not the north. brute the focus is in the south and not the north-— the focus is in the south and not the north. ~ ., ., the north. we can hear the sound of aunfire the north. we can hear the sound of gunfire drifting _ the north. we can hear the sound of gunfire drifting across _ the north. we can hear the sound of gunfire drifting across from - the north. we can hear the sound of gunfire drifting across from gaza - gunfire drifting across from gaza and we have seen the sights and sounds of renewed fighting this morning. looks very much like the of collapse for no. there is still the outstanding question of what this means for humanitarian aid. a smaller number of trucks have gone into gaza today after none at all across the rafah crossing yesterday.
1:13 pm
there were four trucks of diesel and four trucks of cooking gas going over but it looks like the deal has collapsed. we will keep up to date with this story. we will continue our live coverage of the israel—gaza war. meanwhile, overto you, rajini. let's turn to dubai and the latest from the cop28 climate summit. a short time ago, it was announced that at least 116 nations have commited to tripling renewable energy capacity to combat global warming. following all the developments is our correspondent carl nasman, in dubai. carl, what's the latest? that was one of a series of different pledges announced including the tripling of renewables by the end of the decade and an agreement to treble nuclear capacity
1:14 pm
by about 20 nations at the end of the decade and a deal on methane. they say this is essential to meet the goal of 1.5 degrees global warming. here is our climate editor. the pope couldn't make it here to dubai — his doctor forbade him from travelling — but a cardinal read his words, and it was strong stuff. the destruction of the environment is an offence against god. the need to tackle climate change is one of the key pillars of pope francis's papacy. it has "run amok," he said, and he posed a question for the gathered leaders. are we working for a culture of life or a culture of death? to all of you, i make this heartfelt appeal. let us choose life. let us choose the future.
1:15 pm
some of the pope's demands are already being addressed by this summit. he said the world must move ahead with greater energy efficiency and more renewable energy. we got pledges on both of those today. we also got a new announcement for around 50 of the world's oil companies, including the world's largest, saudi arabia's aramco. they said they would drive down the carbon emissions from when oil is refined into petrol, diesel and other products to net zero by 2050. now, that could reduce the carbon produced by a litre of petrol by up to 15%. it won't solve climate change, but it's better than nothing. the world is expected to record an all—time record temperature this year, with dire consequences, warned the prime minister of barbados, mia mottley. it is a death sentence for many, and the reality is that unless we change course, we are going to see far more lives
1:16 pm
lost and far more damage done. tomorrow, the focus here at cop28 turns to the impact of climate on health. justin rowlatt, bbc news, dubai. it isa it is a pleasure to be joined by damilola 0gunbiyi, sustainable energy for all special representative. the pledge to triple renewable capacity by the end of the decade, is that encouraging to you? i think the tripling of renewables and doubling down on energy efficiency is critical. also because it is a development issue so when you say you triple you actually add more energy to people living and energy poverty and don't have energy at all. so i think it is important to note that should notjust be an announcement for countries fully developed and transitioning from dirty to clean fuels. also countries
1:17 pm
that do not have access to electricity and to get on the ladder of ellis yesterday and not leave anyone behind. aha, of ellis yesterday and not leave anyone behind.— of ellis yesterday and not leave anyone behind. a lot of people say it is about making _ anyone behind. a lot of people say it is about making the _ anyone behind. a lot of people say it is about making the leap - anyone behind. a lot of people say it is about making the leap for- anyone behind. a lot of people say i it is about making the leap for some countriesjumping over it is about making the leap for some countries jumping over the fossil fuels that so many developed nations use to get to that status and looking towards renewable energy. what will it take to get those developing countries to make the leap? developing countries to make the lea - ? ., , , leap? one thing we have seen is developing _ leap? one thing we have seen is developing countries _ leap? one thing we have seen is developing countries are - leap? one thing we have seen is developing countries are leadingj leap? one thing we have seen is - developing countries are leading the way and claimant ambition that has been so encouraging. it is important to know people are talking about green pathways and energy plans to clean no and there is still 675 million people with no access to clean electricity and we can make sure their transition to energy is renewables from the beginning but we
1:18 pm
still need an enormous amount of money and resources. when we talk about 100 million 100 billion, money and resources. when we talk about100 million 100 billion, it will need to trillions invested in these developing countries so they see their growth is green from the beginning and we don't come back in two or three decades trying to get them to transition out because it has to be fair and just and equitable. so even the amount of energy than it has to be equitable to living a dignified life and not just a minimal amount of energy because people don't have any energy at all. on that point i wanted to stress the financing part, the secretary general stressed the form of global infrastructure on financing no is what is needed to see climate a crisis financial markets as well to make sure were all covered for greener and cleaner financial instruments.— financial instruments. follow closely the — financial instruments. follow closely the event _ financial instruments. follow closely the event in - financial instruments. follow i closely the event in september, financial instruments. follow - closely the event in september, the first ever africa climate summit.
1:19 pm
how could that have set the stage for what seeing here? back how could that have set the stage for what seeing here?— how could that have set the stage for what seeing here? back to what i was sa in: for what seeing here? back to what i was saying about _ for what seeing here? back to what i was saying about global— for what seeing here? back to what i was saying about global south - was saying about global south countries stepping up because they know economic sustainability and their continent in africa who are of their continent in africa who are of the claimant crisis but feel the burden of it, the leaders showed us saying we want to transition and make sure things are greener but we can't people behind. what i got out of that was so powerful and important that climate is development and development is climate. we can't separate the two, thatis climate. we can't separate the two, that is what it is in africa, so i think water and agriculture and food systems are also climate friendly and that is what we want to bring in and that is what we want to bring in and we had a lot at the african climate summit and also at this conference.
1:20 pm
climate summit and also at this conference-— conference. the special un representative _ conference. the special un representative for - conference. the special un i representative for sustainable energy, thank you so much for being here. it has been a momentous start, so many deals and pledges. we will follow all the developments here for you from dubai. looking at the floor and us vice president kamala harris is speaking now. before that we had from president macron of france who said he would go to qatar to try to engage for a new truce to bring another ceasefire in place. these pictures have just come
1:21 pm
another ceasefire in place. these pictures havejust come into another ceasefire in place. these pictures have just come into us from southern gaza from khan younis which show the aftermath of an israeli air strike. ambulances have arrived and you can see the vast plumes of smoke in the air following the strike. the hamas—run health ministry and gaza saying more than 14,800 people have been killed since the campaign began. and more than 170 people have been killed since the bombing began
1:22 pm
again after the ceasefire ended. it all started after the october seven attacks by hamas which killed 1200 people and saw people being taken hostage. we are running our live page on the bbc news website. a british soldier has been killed while off duty in kenya — according to the ministry of defence 32—year—old major kevin mccool was on a motorcycle trip off base when he was attacked. laura trant is following this for us — what more do we know? major kevin mccool died on october 29 in kenya. he had been deployed to europe and the middle east and the falklands and africa. he was a
1:23 pm
graduate from sandhurst and described by the ministry of defence at his very best when their conditions were at the very worst. it is believed he was attacked off duty and not on the army base in kenya. the ministry of defence said his next of kin have been informed but they will not release any further detail about what took place. they have described his operational record as a glittering one. they have also said he aced many of their militaries hardest courses. his commanding officer said he had a compelling character and a deep ability which displayed a wisdom beyond his years. added to thatis wisdom beyond his years. added to that is the secretary of state for defence grant shapps who said it was clear from the tributes made to him
1:24 pm
that he was an exceptional soldier. he was family man and lives behind his parents and five siblings. —— leaves behind. next week marks a major development when borisjohnson is expected to apologise for mistakes made during his handling of the pandemic when he appears before the uk covid inquiry next week. the bbc has been told the former prime minister will also insist he was correct when it came to many of the big calls. mrjohnson's written statement is likely to be published
1:25 pm
after his appearance before the public inquiry. it is expected to barely mention his former senior aide dominic cummings. officials in the italian city of bologna have begun constructing a barrier around a medieval tower because of fears it might collapse. the garisenda tower leans just as much as its famous counterpart in pisa — but recent inspections have found changes in the direction of its tilt. metal containers and wire mesh around the building are supposed to catch possible falling debris. the city council estimates that the barrier alone will cost more than $4 million and has begun a crowdfunding campaign to fund restoration work. mount etna is erupting again. it is the tallest and most active volcano in europe.
1:26 pm
hello there. it's been a bitterly cold week throughout, but at least we've had the sunshine to compensate earlier in the week. this weekend, more cloud around generally some mist and fog. and certainly through this evening and tonight could see a spell of sleet and snow affecting england. and, well, some of it could be fairly disruptive. now it's tied in with this weather front, which has been bringing showers to western parts of england and wales through the afternoon. some winteriness here. best of the sunshine, northern half of scotland after that very cold start. a bit more cloud around england and wales today where we've had mist and fog lingering. now, through this evening and overnight that weather front pops up across the west as it starts to push its way eastward. so we'll start to see some sleet and snow increasing amounts across wales, the midlands, eastern and northern england, even down to lower levels. we could see a couple of centimetres
1:27 pm
even down to lower levels. falling on frozen surfaces. even down to lower levels. so ice will be a significant risk by the end of the night. temperatures will be lifting a little bit across the far south of britain. but further north, another very cold one, particularly northeast scotland, down to —10, —11 celsius. so a cold, frosty start across scotland, bright with some sunshine, early, wintry ness across with some sunshine, early, winteriess across eastern clears away. and then england and wales look rather dull, dismal, i think throughout sunday with lots of cloud around some spots of rain. the temperatures will be climbing, though it won't be noticeable because of all the cloud around. but another very cold day to come generally for most particularly in the north. some changes then into monday, low pressure starts to move in. that will bring a spell of wet and windy weather across england and wales. some showers for eastern scotland. these will be wintry in nature best. the sunshine towards the northwest could see a little bit of wintry showers developing across the high ground of northern england and wales later in the day.
1:28 pm
showers developing across the high ground of northern england and wales later in the day. and it will be a cold day to come for all despite temperatures lifting in the south. tuesday, low pressure continues to pull out to the north sea. so it's east and parts of england which will see the windier showery weather again, some winteriness in places, but elsewhere, drier. after that cold start, it should be plenty of sunshine, but it could be another chilly day. so it stays cold tuesday, even the start of wednesday. before we start to see changes, you'll notice the milder colours they're pushing in right across the country by the time we reach the end of the week. but that does come with a change in the weather. of course, with low pressure systems moving in off the atlantic, we'll start to see some spells of wetter and windy weather at times. see you later.
1:29 pm
1:30 pm
