2:31 pm
let's stay with our main story and the ongoing hostilities, now, about that temporary truce between israel and hamas has ended. —— now that. bbc arabic correspondent adnan el—bursh and cameraman mahmoud al—ajrami are both from gaza and are currently based near khan younis. over the past week they've been following one family forced to move from their home, who now live in a makeshift camp in the south. upbeat music plays an ordinary family in an ordinary house in gaza city. but the music stopped... explosion ..and was replaced by the sound of shelling. their home destroyed, this is their new reality.
2:32 pm
meet this mother of three and granny to a little child who is just a year old. translation: in the rain we struggled a lot. - the rain entered our tent and drenched our mattresses, which we had to take from the dump. in the morning i had to bathe my grandchild in freezing water. she showed me a video of what her home used to look like. every tent tells a story, each one of a family and how their lives have been changed forever. their 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.
2:33 pm
translation: we want to go back to our homes in the north - because we feel like strangers here. adnan el—bursh, bbc news, khan younis in gaza. there is of course more on that story on the bbc news website. here in the uk, borisjohnson is expected to apologise for mistakes made during his handling of the pandemic when he appears before the covid inquiry next week. the bbc has been told the former prime minister will also insist he was correct when it came to making many of the big calls. mrjohnson�*s written statement is likely to be published after his appearance before the public inquiry. it is expected to barely mention his former senior aide dominic cummings. our political correspondent shelley phelps has more. we've been getting an idea
2:34 pm
from those close to borisjohnson and his allies about the broad scope of the arguments he will be making when he gives evidence to the covid inquiry on wednesday and thursday. and in addition to that apology that you just mention there, we understand that he is going to defend the decisions made by his government, arguing that on the big calls, they got things right, that he'll be pointing to things like the vaccine, also pointing to things like the uk's emergence, the timing of that from its final lockdown ahead of comparable economies, that he'll be defending his use of colourful language and phrases. but i think that people might be watching and thinking, "well, "why are we hearing about this now before this session has started?" so, why are we hearing this now? i think it is likely that for borisjohnson and his team, it is about getting that defence out there now, because on wednesday and thursday, there will be that avalanche of scrutiny and the focus will be on those questions and the exchanges there. there is further public transport chaos in england this weekend. train drivers who are members
2:35 pm
of the aslef union are staging a series of strikes across the country. it's the latest industrial action in their long—running dispute with train operators over pay and working practices. our business correspondent, marc ashdown, has more. there won't be much festive cheer on the railways today. it is the latest one—day walk—out by train drivers who are members of the aslef union. after nearly 18 months of industrial action, that is yet more frustration for passengers. it has just gone on too long. i think i have had enough of it now, really. i just want to know that if i want to catch a train that there will be a train running. it hasjust been a year of disruption. really annoyed, don't know what it's for. every local station, they are all sitting in their cafes, the workers want to get back to work, and just saying that the train managers are making decisions that they are not happy with, so i don't understand why we are all suffering from that. it is really frustrating. it just feels like the only people who are suffering really -
2:36 pm
is the everyday people _ who are struggling to get into work or to see family and friends. especially around christmas, it - means that people can't be together. after 14 one—day strikes where all 12,000 drivers walked out in unison, aslef says that this action will use new tactics to ratchet up the pressure on the train companies. an overtime ban began yesterday and will run for nine days in total. it means reduced services will be running across britain every day until next saturday. drivers at each of the operators involved also walk out for 24—hours at a time but staggered on different days from today until next friday. monday is the only day when there will be no strikes. it is a particular concern for the hospitality industry. bars, pubs and restaurants are starting their busiest and most important period of the year. for many, it could be make or break. it is the second busiest week in the calendar for us, in the run—up to christmas, lots of office parties and lunches that were booked,
2:37 pm
that are now being postponed. overall, a series of rolling strikes estimated to cost the industry a further £600 million. this comes as members of the other rail union, the rmt, voted last week to accept a backdated pay rise of 5% for 2022-23, as well as guarantees on job security. it means they won't take part in any further industrial action until at least the spring. the aslef dispute is mainly centred on pay. the group representing the train operators insist that of 8% over two years is reasonable. the government is fully in support but the union says there are still too many caveats on changes to working practices, and aslef members have also just voted to continue industrial action for the next six months. an 84—year—old man was killed when a house exploded in edinburgh. two other people were taken to hospital following the blast in the baberton area of the city. police say there are no
2:38 pm
suspicious circumstances. our reporter, katie hunter, is at the scene. well, part of this street is still sealed off this lunchtime and the police are here. one house has been badly, badly damaged and there is debris strewn across the road — bricks, roof tiles, personal belongings. other homes nearby, well, their windows have been blown in. now, neighbours say this explosion, which happened around 22:30 last night, was like a bomb going off. one man described how the force of it threw him onto his bed and police confirmed this morning that an 84—year—old man has died. a 44—year—old woman and a 54—year—old man were taken to hospital. and people here have been expressing their shock this morning and paying tribute to the victim. other people have been forced to leave their homes because of the damage done. they have been coming back here this morning to try to retrieve belongings. we have seen police going
2:39 pm
into people's homes to get essential belongings. now, police scotland say there are no suspicious circumstances here and they are continuing to work with their partner agencies to try to find out exactly what happened. temperatures dropped below zero across much of the uk overnight, with the freezing temperatures expected to continue through the weekend. councils are now putting in place emergency plans to protect homeless and vulnerable people, living on the streets, as our reporter wendy hurrell has been finding out. in the first cold snap of the season, the most vulnerable londoners feel it first. help comes from volunteers. in charing cross, food and warm clothing is given out by refugee network international. the severe weather emergency protocol has been activated, meaning that local authorities and homelessness charities open additional accommodation for people otherwise sleeping on the street.
2:40 pm
this is about opening up communal spaces in accommodation, in hostels, putting down camp beds. it is about using every single extra bedroom that might be spare at the moment waiting for someone to move in. it is sometimes about booking hotel space and that kind of thing. this is an early cold snap. how much need you sense there is this year? it's huge this year. i mean, we've seen sadly the numbers of people homeless and the numbers of people sleeping rough at the sharp end of homelessness increase month on month. we usually have enough space to bring everyone in. i'm really hoping that it is the same this year, but we'll have to see. at this saint mungo's premises in hackney, an office becomes a warm place to sleep for those in need, with the staff kitchen given over to providing breakfast or a hot meal. and communities do what they can, opening their doors as warm banks. we decided that we needed to do something to help the needy in the local area and we wanted to be able to offer something hot for them to eat, somewhere warm for them to go and feel safe.
2:41 pm
and if we can help one person and they walk out with a pair of dry socks and a pair of gloves and a nice vegetable soup in their belly and some bread, what more could they ask for? yes. david has been homeless for nearly five years, sofa surfing and struggling with depression. jacqui and karen and the staff and everyone, they go out of their way to look after people like me, people in my situation, and i promise them when i get myself back on the ground and get my life sorted i will treat them like, you know. because without them god knows where i would be to be honest with you, god knows. with many more weeks of winter weather and ever increasing need, these provisions in london will be vital. wendy hurrell, bbc news. well, parts of europe also have been hit by snow. germany, austria, the czech republic and the uk have all been affected. our reporter nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more. yes, southern germany has been one of the worst hit areas across europe with more than a0 centimetres of
2:42 pm
snow falling overnight friday into saturday. these pictures are from the city of munich where residents were advised to stay—at—home for their own safety. here at the airport, more than 700 flights were hit with cancellations and very long delays for passengers, some resorting to even walking to the airport. across the city, most buses, trams and lots of train services were not running and the bayern munich game against berlin was called off, although you can see that the snow did give the children a chance to get out their sledges. neighbouring austria has also been hit by heavy snowfall and fire fighters were brought into clear fallen trees in the city of dawn bone, there was a landslide which blocked a bridge, chopping nearly 100 people in a nightclub for several hours, —— trapping nearly. there is a warning that the risk of avalanches is high in the western part of the country. there was a 20
2:43 pm
kilometre long trafficjam in the czech republic that built up after a truck came off the motorway in the freezing conditions and there were also some power cuts in some areas and there are warnings of up to 25 centimetres of snow on saturday, with more expected on sunday. here in the uk, a fresh yellow warning for snow and ice has been issued for large parts of the country, including the midlands, yorkshire and also northern and central wales. it comes after heavy overnight snow in scotland. this was the scene on the m8. glasgow airport was forced to ground or flights for several hours on saturday morning and a number of football matches have also had to be postponed due to the freezing temperatures. those below zero temperatures here in the uk have led to a number of local authorities activating a scheme that will provide emergency accommodation for people sleeping on the streets. it is worth saying that the freezing conditions are set to continue across the weekend. that report

2:46 pm
having the ability to talk to investors, who i hope it we are privileged enough to come into government will partner with us in achieving what we need to achieve in this transition which will be impacting on every single household and everyone watching this programme. and everyone watching this programme-— and everyone watching this programme. and everyone watching this rouramme. ., ., ~ ., programme. you talk about the cost of livin: programme. you talk about the cost of living crisis. _ programme. you talk about the cost of living crisis. how _ programme. you talk about the cost of living crisis. how do _ programme. you talk about the cost of living crisis. how do you - programme. you talk about the cost of living crisis. how do you plan - programme. you talk about the cost of living crisis. how do you plan to l of living crisis. how do you plan to fund some of your flight to green policies? you talked about the green prosperity plan in funding some £28 billion per year. we are now hearing that wouldn't necessarily come in, if you were to will the general election, until 2027, and if you were to will the general election, until2027, and i'm if you were to will the general election, until 2027, and i'm having doubts at the top of the party that that will ever be met. just tell it straight, will it ever happen if you were in power, or is it a pipe dream given that we are in a cost of living crisis? —— i am hearing it out. it living crisis? -- i am hearing it out. . , , living crisis? -- i am hearing it out. ., , , ., �* out. it will happen and i'm determined _ out. it will happen and i'm determined that _ out. it will happen and i'm determined that we - out. it will happen and i'm determined that we have i out. it will happen and i'm| determined that we have a out. it will happen and i'm - determined that we have a mission driven government which is a

2:48 pm
choices, we are now exposed to very high energy prices. we have seen that in the last two years and i am not prepared to allow the british public to go through again what they have just been through in the last two or three years of the cost of living crisis. we have to take the tough decisions to make sure we never face this tough decisions to make sure we neverface this again tough decisions to make sure we never face this again as a country. one of the criticisms which comes from even the chancellor is that your plans would actually fuel inflation, including this green prosperity plan, and actually, right now the cost of living crisis means this is just not affordable. what would you say to that? can this isjust not affordable. what would you say to that?- this isjust not affordable. what would you say to that? can i 'ust sa , i would you say to that? can i 'ust say. i am — would you say to that? can i 'ust say. i am not �* would you say to that? can i 'ust say, i am not really i would you say to that? can ijust say, i am not really prepared - would you say to that? can ijust say, i am not really prepared to | say, i am not really prepared to take lectures from this government on the economy, they have trusty economy, and everyone who is watching this programme who has a mortgage will probably be paying more money now than they did a year or two ago because of the damage this government has done to the economy and our inflation is still much higher than other countries. but the big mistake the government
2:49 pm
has made is by not the necessary action, we are exposed on energy gusts. energy gusts have caused high inflation. if ten years ago, this government i do done what we are proposing now, we wouldn't be in this position, so rather than having more of the sticking plaster politics and not really fixing anything, i want a government that has mission driven —— energy costs. and that means there isn't a cost to this, but a benefit to this, because if we get this right, there will be lower bills for everyone paying those energy bills, and we will not let working people paid the price for this. this is government action thatis for this. this is government action that is needed to take action that really should have been taken years ago, but we are not prepared to allow the british public to go through the sort of anguish and anxiety they are now going through in this cost—of—living crisis. that is why i am here talking to international leaders and investors at cop28. international leaders and investors at c028. ., international leaders and investors atc028. ., ., at cop28. you said you don't want the british public— at cop28. you said you don't want the british public to _ at cop28. you said you don't want the british public to pay _ at cop28. you said you don't want the british public to pay the - at cop28. you said you don't want the british public to pay the price| the british public to pay the price
2:50 pm
for some of these measures, including the green measures, but what we saw for example with ulez was that people were unhappy with having to pay that price themselves. and it cost you a by—election. is it the case that some of these policies are not politically popular? i the case that some of these policies are not politically popular?— are not politically popular? i don't want working _ are not politically popular? i don't want working people _ are not politically popular? i don't want working people to _ are not politically popular? i don't want working people to have - are not politically popular? i don't want working people to have to i are not politically popular? i don't. want working people to have to pay out for the change we need to make, and that is white when it comes to investments, i want to ensure that for every pounds the government puts in, begets £3 from the private sector. that is why i have had round tables it with global investors from around the world is talking about what they can do to help us in the uk with this transition. —— we get £3 from the private sector. but if you make the transition, renewable energy is three times cheaper than oil and gas and that means prices can come down on a permanent basis, and i think that is for anyone watching this, that is something they would say, please give me that price reduction and make it
2:51 pm

2:52 pm
governments have to make big decisions on that and they had to create the conditions of certainty and stability for investors to come in alongside it. so of course we can all to individual things now in our lives, but i don't think it is right to say that that in itself will solve this problem. that is why we are at a international conference. can ijust ask are at a international conference. can i just ask you what are at a international conference. can ijust ask you what bits you do though? and your abuse be interested to know what you do personally, even if it is a big part of the bigger picture. —— a small part. if it is a big part of the bigger picture. -- a small part. there is a number of— picture. -- a small part. there is a number of things _ picture. -- a small part. there is a number of things that _ picture. -- a small part. there is a number of things that we - picture. -- a small part. there is a number of things that we do, - picture. -- a small part. there is a number of things that we do, for l picture. -- a small part. there is a i number of things that we do, for my part, i don't eat meat, but i'm not trying to enforce on other people what they can and can't do. this is not enforcing that on individuals but it is about government saying it is our responsibility to take the big decisions about this transition, i did our responsibility to take decisions about into letting the homes of millions of people —— it is
2:53 pm
our responsibility. many of our homes leak a lot of heat and if we can fix that, we can reduce our bills, and i went to see some of this up in yorkshire at the beginning of last year, a freezing cold day and a house that it had the insulation done, very, very low bills, warm inside. iwant to insulation done, very, very low bills, warm inside. i want to see that in all of our homes inside the united kingdom, so of course there are individual acts that individuals can do but i'm not in the business of telling people what they should or shouldn't be doing with their individual lives. i'm in the business of saying that if we are going to make the difference we need, we need a government with the clarity, the certainty, the presence of mind and a strategy to take the big decisions which many people watching this deserve and want a government to do. 5ir watching this deserve and want a government to do.— watching this deserve and want a government to do. sir keir starmer, but we let you _ government to do. sir keir starmer, but we let you go. _ government to do. sir keir starmer, but we let you go, i _ government to do. sir keir starmer, but we let you go, i just _ government to do. sir keir starmer, but we let you go, i just want - government to do. sir keir starmer, but we let you go, i just want to - but we let you go, i just want to get your reaction to the fact that hostilities resumed in the middle east. and what you think needs to come next. you have had a number of yourfront come next. you have had a number of your front bench has you haven't called for a ceasefire. is your

2:55 pm
a long time is a political settlement and a two state settlement and a two state settlement —— in the long term. so what i'm arguing for is a pause and a cessation of hostilities so we can get back to that place, but whilst we are in this phase of resumption, it is also important for me to say that we can't go back to the way this first phase of this war was conducted. too many innocent individuals have lost their lives in israel and of course across gaza. many, many people in gaza, innocent civilians and children have lost their lives, so we can't go back to where we were just a week or so ago. we have to see this as a different stage. we have to see this as a different sta . e. ,, we have to see this as a different stare. ,, ,, ., ~ stage. ok, sir keir starmer, ithink we have to — stage. ok, sir keir starmer, ithink we have to wrap — stage. ok, sir keir starmer, ithink we have to wrap that _ stage. ok, sir keir starmer, ithink we have to wrap that interview - stage. ok, sir keir starmer, ithink we have to wrap that interview are | we have to wrap that interview are but thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on both of those issues. . ~' , ., your thoughts on both of those issues._ while, - your thoughts on both of those l issues._ while, before your thoughts on both of those - issues._ while, before we issues. thank you. while, before we .0, issues. thank you. while, before we no, let's issues. thank you. while, before we go. let's take _ issues. thank you. while, before we go. let's take you — issues. thank you. while, before we

2:57 pm
hello there. the bitterly cold weather continues into the weekend as well. more cloud around generally, some mist and fog, too. and also a number of warnings for sleet and snow showers, particularly western england and for western wales. and we have an amber warning in force. parts of north west england, around cumbria, forfrequent snow showers here through the rest of the afternoon, through the evening and overnight period with accumulations really mounting up there. but elsewhere, it's generally cold, largely dry. best of the sunshine towards the north of the uk, more grey weather across the midlands and eastern england. now as we head into this evening and overnight, that weather front out west begins to pepper. that's what's bringing this sleet and snow showers. it will push its way eastwards to bring an area of snow for parts of wales, the midlands, north of the ma corridor into northern and eastern england. a couple of accumulations of snow, even down to lower levels. a bit more than that over the pennines, for example. ice will be a significant risk as well. northern areas, another very cold night, particularly in northern scotland, —10, —11 celsius, but less cold across southern britain. but we do start with that wintry mix across eastern england, south east scotland, first thing on sunday. then it's replaced with cloud
2:58 pm
and outbreaks of rain, slightly less cold weather, but it's still going to be chilly. northern half of the country — another very cold start. here, drier and brighter with some sunshine, less cold across the south, 11 degrees in plymouth. that's because this area of low pressure will throw up some milder airfor a time on monday, but also wetter and windy weather. and it will be pretty atrocious day, i think, across england and wales. cold, wet, windy, the wintry showers also affecting eastern scotland. best of the sunshine across the northwest and we could start to see some winteriness developing on the back edge of that low across the north of england into wales. a cold day to come. even across the south, the slightly high temperatures factor in the wind will feel cold. tuesday, low pressure clears away. still windy with further wintry showers across eastern parts of the country. further north and west, a ridge of high pressure so cold but dry, bright with some sunshine, another cold day to come wherever you are. so really, not until we reach
2:59 pm
