israel's military says its renewed bombardment of gaza has hit more than 400 targets. the gaza health ministry says nearly 200 people have been killed. and at cop28, at least 116 nations commit themselves to tripling renewable energy capacity. hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. israel's intelligence body, mossad says there has been an impasse in negotiations for a further temporary ceasefire and that prime minister benjamin netanyahu had ordered his team to leave doha and return to israel. in the past hour, french president emmanuel macron said he would head to doha to push for a new truce. he said israel's goal of destroying hamas risked "decades of war".

this is the scene looking across northern gaza. a convoy of humanitarian aid has crossed into gaza for the first time since thursday. palestinian red crescent said it received the convoy. fighting re—started on friday morning after the seven—day ceasefire with the sides blaming each other for the collapse of the truce. a spokesman for the israeli military said they were now hitting hamas targets all over the gaza strip. there have been israeli air strikes in north—western gaza and khan younis in the south — where hundreds of thousands of people fled earlier in the war to escape fighting. this is live, outisde nasser hospital khan younis, a city in southern gaza. this is the moment a strike hit the residential complex nearby. you can

see the plumes of smoke in the distance and people running away. earier, isreli diplomat, mark regev told a press so, our goal now that the military operation has resumed, is to pursue hamas vigorously. we will destroy hamas�*s military machine and we will end their control over the gaza strip. at the same time, we will in parallel make the maximum effort to do two things. one, to differentiate between the terrorists who are our bitter enemy and the civilian population who are not the target of our operation. we will do everything to safeguard that civilian population population. and as well, we will facilitate the entrance into the gaza strip of humanitarian support for the civilians of gaza.

so as we move in now to to crush hamas, we will in parallel continue. to to facilitate humanitarian support for the people of gaza. that is part of our credo. that is part of our strategic goal. once again, we will do everything we can to keep gazan civilians outside of the cross—fire between the idf and the terrorists. and we will do everything to facilitate that. that population receives water, medicine, food, shelter. and we urge the international humanitarian organisations to be there on the ground, specifically in the designated safer areas where we expect lots of civilians to congregate for an interim period until the fighting is over.

israelis have been arguing for the last couple of months, particularly pointing to that place called alma —— | pointing to that place called alma —— i think peter lerner acknowledged it wasn't working. what we are now seeing is each day, those grid squares will show the area that are unsafe and the ideas if you move out of those areas, you will be in the safe zone. how long it remains a safe zone. how long it remains a safe zone, who knows. each day we are likely to see different areas targeted. this is only my interpretation so far. it is still early days. but it's a different concept to that they were using on the weak countries. and concept to that they were using on the weak countries.— the weak countries. and this all comes as _ the weak countries. and this all comes as the — the weak countries. and this all comes as the talks _ the weak countries. and this all comes as the talks to _ the weak countries. and this all comes as the talks to try - the weak countries. and this all comes as the talks to try to -

they are already operating in the south. that will come over the coming weeks, more and more of a focus of israel's campaign. every description you read now quoting israeli officials talks about something that will last many, many months. it will change over time. we are seeing the most kinetic phase of it right now, the use of aerial bombardment and artillery but in terms of defeating hamas and ensuring it is no longer in political control of the gaza strip as mark regev said in its press conference earlier, that is a process they believe will take many months. :, ~ process they believe will take many months. . ,, , :, process they believe will take many months. :, ~' , :, , process they believe will take many months. . ,, , :, , . process they believe will take many months. :, ~ , :, , : :, process they believe will take many months. . ,, , . :, ., months. thank you very much for that u date. earlier, i spoke with matt duss, who was president of the foundation for middle east peace and is a former foreign policy adviser to us senator bernie sanders. i asked him what it would take to resume negotiation talks. a much more involved and energetic

effort, first of all, from the united states and to put real pressure on israel, which it has not thus far been willing to do. secretary blinken has made numerous trips to israel and to the region. he was there just this week, right before the ceasefire ended. but a big missing piece of this process has been real pressure and the united states using its considerable leverage on israel. now, that's not to absolve, of course, hamas from responsibility. my understanding is that it was hamas' decision to renege on some of its commitments regarding which hostages were to be released. that was the proximate cause of the end of this ceasefire. but still, the united states has much more leverage to deploy if it should choose to do so. and as the civilian casualties rise in number and we're already seeing that since the resumption of hostilities, how do you think the us position will continue to change? well, we've already seen much

stronger warnings about israeli operations, regarding the protection of civilians, around the provision of humanitarian aid. and, you know, escalating those warnings is important, but it is simply not enough. we're going to see, as i said, some real pressure brought to bear. we know that the way that israelis are choosing targets, there have been recent reports this week from israeli news sources about the use of al to select targets, coming up with a huge target list, you know, levelling entire apartment blocks because maybe one room or part of a floor was used by hamas, thereby justifying the massive destruction we are seeing. there is just no way to square this operation with any commitment to civilian protection or international law. and ultimately, we are going to need to see this administration and this president speak much more clearly about it and act upon it. and throughout this, so far, president biden has said

that he supports israel's right to defend itself, and that's unlikely to change as a position more broadly, though. i understand. i mean, listen, isupport israel's right to protect its people, as everyone should. that does not mean that israel gets to choose entirely the manner in which it does so. it is bound by international law. the president has repeatedly stated this. and by the way, hamas is as well. we should never forget to mention that hamas again, its atrocious attacks on october 7th, its continuing to hold hostages and fire rockets inside israel are an egregious violation of those same standards. but again, going back to israel's defence, that right does not imply the right to level entire cities, which is what we are seeing in gaza. more on the middle east on the bbc

exports. so the question is what are the international rules for us to be able to move out of this dependency? that's why we are calling for a negotiated treaty that allows us to complement the international agreement so we can have clear rules and face fossil fuels and deal with economic consequences in a just an integrated manner. this economic consequences in a 'ust an integrated manner. this is something a lot of countries _ integrated manner. this is something a lot of countries will _ integrated manner. this is something a lot of countries will be _ integrated manner. this is something a lot of countries will be watching i a lot of countries will be watching closely because there are many countries which rely on fossil fuels that want to achieve the same. what do you think and what are you planning is yourfirst do you think and what are you planning is your first steps towards this goal? we planning is your first steps towards this coal? ~ :, planning is your first steps towards this coal? 9 ., :, :, , this goal? we have to develop sectors of _ this goal? we have to develop sectors of the _ this goal? we have to develop sectors of the economy i this goal? we have to develop sectors of the economy to i this goal? we have to develop i sectors of the economy to replace income from coal and oil. this

includes investment including nature based, 8 million visitors to colombia and the development of an export industry for renewable energy and industrialisation in our country are the tricky sectors including agriculture where we need to develop it. this will take some time but the situation is every time we talk about this energy transition and economic transition, you see the financial system creating nervousness and with this, a downgrade... increasing capitalfor downgrade... increasing capital for colombia. downgrade... increasing capitalfor colombia. that's why we are calling for these aspects to be used in the issue of international co—operation. a treaty that allows us to secure economic conditions and at the same

be able to have predictable and constant flow of resources so we can make the public investments that allow for transition. otherwise, we may be making targets and announcements and have international funds but they economic situation will not allow them to make the transition. and then we'd have an economic transition that's not fair to all. 9, ~' ,, economic transition that's not fair to all. . ,, i. :, economic transition that's not fair to all. . ,, :, , ., to all. thank you for sharing your thou~hts to all. thank you for sharing your thoughts on _ to all. thank you for sharing your thoughts on this _ to all. thank you for sharing your thoughts on this ongoing - to all. thank you for sharing your. thoughts on this ongoing challenge. some breaking newsjust coming to us, there has been a magnitude 7.6 earthquake which has struck the philippines. more on that throughout the programme. 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 m4 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 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, drierand 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 wednesday onwards, we start to see that much milder air pushing in off

the atlantic for all areas by the time we reach the end of the week. but that does come with a change in the weather. yes, it will turn mild. double—figure values there, as you can see, but it'll turn a lot more unsettled with spells of wet and windy weather at times. take care.

this is bbc news. the headlines: israel's military says its renewed bombardment of gaza has hit more than 400 targets. the gaza health ministry says nearly 200 palestinians have been killed since the truce collapsed. the palestinian red crescent says about 50 humanitarian aid trucks have been allowed through the rafah crossing into gaza, the first to make it into the strip since thursday. at cop28, at least 116 nations commit to tripling renewable energy capacity. i spoke to labour leader sir keir starmer who is at the summit. we will be playing that in a moment. and former prime minister borisjohnson is expected to apologise to the uk covid inquiry, acknowledging that the government did not get everything right during the pandemic. now, let's bring you the latest on

some breaking news coming into was from the philippines. the philippines institute of volcanology and seismology has issued a tsunami warning and southern parts of the philippines after an earthquake was offshore. it says it has rescued it at 6.9 in magnitude and we have also had information from the united states geological survey which has also recorded an earthquake but at a higher magnitude of 7.6. authorities in the philippines have warned of destructive tsunamis with life—threatening wave heights of more than one metre above normal tides. the quake had a shallow depth of focus and was tectonic in origin. significant shaking was felt in southern areas of the philippines and we will of course stay across that story as and when we get more

details. now, let's return to cop28, the climate conference in dubai. the uk's opposition leader sir keir starmer is among those attending the cop28 climate summit in dubai. i asked him what he hoped to achieve by attending this year's summit. we have just been through the worst cost of living crisis for many, many years, and many people watching this will still be feeling the effects of that. one of the drivers of that is that we haven't had energy security, we have been exposed to the international market and we need to transition to renewables, and we need to do that at pace, because if we are able to achieve what we the labour party want to achieve, hopefully a labour government, which is clean power by 2030, that means reduce bills notjust for one year but permanently, and that means that we get energy security, so that vladimir putin can't put his boot on our throat and there are of course many, many thousands ofjobs in renewables. so i am really here ensuring that we represent the national interest back at home.

working with international partners here who have similar issues and challenges, also having the ability to talk to investors, who i hope if 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. you talk about the cost of living crisis. how do you plan to fund some of your flagship green policies? you talked about a green prosperity plan in funding some £28 billion per year. we are now hearing that wouldn't necessarily come in, if you were to win the general election, until 2027, and i'm hearing there are major doubts at the top that level of investment will ever be met.

just tell us 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? it will happen and i'm determined that we have a mission driven government which is a government with a driving sense of purpose and we will have five big missions that we want to achieve if we have the privilege to come into government. and when is this likely to happen? one of them is clean power by 2030, so there is a clear date on that, and what we will do is take the necessary tough decisions to reach that target. that will require us to deal with things like planning, the grid, industrial strategy. it will of course also require investment so that 28 billion will probably be ramped up in the second half of the parliament, i say ramped up because there will be money coming in from the start, but the money is towards a purpose and an outcome, and the outcome we are driving at here is the transition so that for years and years to come, every person watching this,

millions of people up and down the country will have cheaper bills, because we can't go on like this. because we haven't made these tough 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 again as a country. sir keir, 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? look, can ijust say, i am not really prepared to take lectures from this government on the economy, they have trashed the 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 has made is by not the necessary action, we are exposed on energy costs. energy costs have caused high inflation. if ten years ago, this government had done what we are proposing now, we wouldn't be in this position, so rather than having more of this sticking plaster politics and not really fixing anything, i want a government that is mission—driven. and that means there isn't a cost to this, but actually 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 pay the price 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 now in this cost—of—living crisis. that is why i am here talking

to international leaders and investors at cop28. you said you don't want the british public to pay the price 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 don't want working people to have to pay out for the change we need to make, and that is why when it comes to investment, i want to ensure that for every pound the government puts in, we get £3 from the private sector. that is why i have had round tables here with global investors from around the world talking about what they can do to help us in the uk with this transition. but if we 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 for anyone watching this, that is something they would say, please give me that price reduction and make it permanent so i don't have this anxiety all over again. let me ask you this, because one of the conversations everyone is having right now as cop28 is happening is what individuals can do more, what personal responsibility people can take to do their part for reducing carbon emissions. what do you do personally, sir keir starmer? do you have electric cars, do you have an energy efficient boiler? what kind of things do you personally do that you can tell our viewers that you do to do your bit? we all need to do our bit but i don't think, with all due respect, this can be reduced to what individuals can do and the idea that if each individual does a little bit, that will somehow be enough. we have to make a massive transition here.

there is a huge opportunity in wind power, hydrogen, new nuclear, and solar power. governments have to make big decisions on that and they have to create the conditions of certainty and stability for investors to come in alongside. so, yes, of course we can all do 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 having an international conference. can i just ask you what bits you do though? i'm sure our viewers will be interested to know what you do personally, even if it is a small part of the bigger picture. there are a 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 should or shouldn'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, it is our responsibility to take decisions about into letting decisions about insulating the homes of millions of people. many of our homes leak a lot of heat and if we can fix that, we can reduce their 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 had had the insulation done, very, very low bills, warm inside. i want to see that in all of our homes across 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 the strategy to take the big decisions which many people watching this deserve and want a government to do.

sir kier starmer, before 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 benchers resign because you haven't called for a ceasefire. is your position changing on that as the number of civilian casualties in gaza rises? well, my focus is obviously on the civilians in gaza and in israel, and i was saddened, as everyone was, to see a resumption of hostilities. what i think we now need is a further pause, a further cessation of hostilities, so that we can build on what has happened in the days when we did have a cessation of hostilities, which is more hostages being released, much more humanitarian aid going into gaza. it is a desperate situation there,

and of course, what that further cessation of hostilities would provide would be foot in the door to the further sort of discussions that will be needed to... the only way through this in a long term is a political settlement and a two state settlement. 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. the labour leader sir keir starmer

speaking to me from the cop28 summit earlier. a british soldier has been killed while off duty in kenya — according to the uk ministry of defence. 32—year—old major kevin mccool was on a motorcycle trip off base when he was attacked. laura trant is in the newsroom with more information. major kevin mccool died on november 29th in kenya. the 32—year—old had been deployed to europe, the middle east, the falklands in africa, and he has been described by the ministry of defence as actors very best when the conditions were their very worst. it is believed he was attacked when he was off duty, not on the army base in kenya. the ministry of defence has said his next of kin have been informed but they won't be releasing any more detail about exactly what took place, however, they have described his operational record as

a glittering one and they have also said that he aced many of the military�*s hardest courses, and they said his fitness was legendary. his commanding officer said he had a compelling character and he had a deep humility which displayed a wisdom beyond his years. adding to thatis wisdom beyond his years. adding to that is the secretary of state for defence, grant shapps, who said it is clearfrom defence, grant shapps, who said it is clear from the tributes of those who knew him that major mccall was an exceptional person, an exceptional soldier who was loved and respected in equal measure. major mccall has been described as a family man, leaving behind his parents and his five siblings. 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 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. 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 buryatia region, thousands of kilometres from ukraine. our correspondent in kyiv, jessica parker, has more on the attack. this happened along a stretch of railway called the baikal—amur mainline, which runs through the border of china. it is in the far east of russia, thousands of kilometres from ukraine. what a senior ukrainian official has told us is that the ukrainian security services managed to engineer two explosions, one on a train running through a tunnel and then later on a train running

across a bridge. they say that was to try and disable a line they say russia is using for military purposes. russian media is reporting that the first incident in the tunnel is being investigated and russian rail authorities have talked about that incident as well, saying that fire or smoke was seen but it only caused slight delays. the extent of damage caused really isn't clear at the moment. what is more clear is the keenness of kyiv to show its ability to strike infrastructure targets deep inside russian territory. jessica parker there. the face of the women's rights movements in the us during the 19705 and an icon of feminism, gloria steinem has spent the past 50 years focusing her efforts on advancing women's political participation and reproductive rights. now 89 years old, steinem has sat down with bbc 100 women to discuss how feminism has changed over the decades, the impact of cancel culture, and what the future might look like for women's rights around the world.

you and i have grown up in some form of patriarchy that says that even in the family, women are more responsible for taking care of infants and small children than men are. even though men are parents, too. so that's where a lack of democracy begins. and that's the beginning of change that we all can make. we shouldn't feel helpless just because we're not changing something globally. the idea of domination and a lack of democracy begins in the family, and it's even more important and even more the cause of future conflict to grow up with that, with making discrimination and domination ok, than national policies are. what kind of change you wish to see that

you think hasn't been achieved and you hope to see accomplished in your lifetime? well, the most obvious and simplest is that we can determine the fate of our own physical selves, so we can decide whether and when to have children, not to have children. whatever it is about our physical selves, because that's where our difficulty begins, because we happen to have wombs and the desire to control wombs is very central to authoritarian systems. so, you know, it's clear that controlling reproduction is crucial. yet when we talk about politics, we don't usually start there, clearly because we have a womb and men don't. the desire to control the womb is often the first or most lethal or most impactful kind of effort.

another thing that nowadays everybody�*s talking about is cancel culture. you know, there is this fear of speaking up, especially among the younger generation. what do you think of that? do you actually think that this is compromising the freedom of speech of the younger generation? i don't feel it myself, but i resent it on behalf of anybody who does feel it, because free speech is crucial to any democracy. we should not submit to cancel culture. it's social pressure as censorship, and it's definitely not a good thing. even when it is suppressing evidence of bias, it still is silencing people.

there is of course more on the bbc�*s 100 women series on our website. seven years after it first hit our screens, the final episodes of royal drama the crown, will be released this month,focusing on life after the death of diana, princess of wales. our correspondent, charlotte gallagher, spoke to imelda staunton and lesley manville, who play the queen and princess margaret in the latest series. they grew up in the spotlight. a life of duty versus the rebellious royal. the late queen elizabeth and princess margaret spent their whole lives being scrutinised, and the final series of the crown will depict the last days of margaret's life, and the very different lives of the two sisters. their relationship is founded on this life growing up together as children and then teenagers, obviously, we all know what happened was unexpectedly, elizabeth was propelled into being the queen. but at the heart of it

they are probably one of the greatest loves of each other�*s lives and very very close. their relationship of course is complicated. for elizabeth, the touchstone of margaret was very important to her. and it is so lovely for us to conclude this relationship from the first series to this one. one more thing, very important. yes, of course. promise me, that i will actually be dead when they close coffin. i she laughs did you find you felt differently about the royal family and elizabeth and margaret after you had filmed the series? it's very easy to draw a bold, thumbnail sketch of margaret, and you can make her a cliche.

but that is never what somebody is. there is always so much more that is making them tick, that is fuelling their behaviour. it was interesting to speculate and make decisions about what i thought that was with margaret because there was definitely a sadness and loneliness that punctuated her life. for me, playing someone whose life has been about duty, and i think that is why there were so many people queueing after the queen had died. because i think a lot of people were thinking, "you went to work every single day of your life and you "didn't call in sick." i think people were saying thank you for turning up every single day. after winning dozens of awards, this will be the final

series of the crown, and end of a television era that has fascinated and gripped many. to have the story going on with three different casts playing it, that has never been done, it feels very special to be part of that. their story will continue to be told for many years to come because, historically, we all like films about henry viii and all the wives, or the tudors, it will always be told because they are fascinating characters. it is a world we have to imagine because we are not in it. and it doesn't stop people telling the stories and it hasn't done up until now, and nor should it. actor macaulay culkin — best known for his portrayal of kevin mcalister in the hit christmas film series home alone — has been honored on the

hollywood walk of fame. the 43—year—old began his career... ...andto and to those cheers before i continue. there we go. the star is unveiled. —— let's listen to those cheers. he began his career on stage at the age of four, before rising to stardom in the home alone. he won a golden globe award for his role as kevin mcalister, 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 their two children. to wrap things up, and in the spirit of the holiday season, i just want to say, merry christmas, ya filthy animals. cheering. the actor was also reunited with actress catherine o'hara who played his mother in the 1990 hit film. macaulay, congratulations. you so deserve your star on the hollywood walk of fame and thank you for including me, your fake mum who left you home

alone not once but twice, to share in this happy occasion. i am so proud of you. applause god bless you. before we go, let's brina ou god bless you. before we go, let's bring you some — god bless you. before we go, let's bring you some breaking _ god bless you. before we go, let's bring you some breaking news i god bless you. before we go, let's| bring you some breaking news that god bless you. before we go, let's i bring you some breaking news that is coming to us from easier, and that is that a large earthquake has struck off the coast of the philippines, triggering a tsunami warning. it happened off the southern islands of mindanao with no reports of destruction but there have been differing reports about the magnitude of the earthquake, and this report comes from the us geological society, and a tsunami warning was issued as far away as japan and philippine authorities in the last few moments have warned of a destructive tsunami after a powerful earthquake. we will have more on that story and the rest of the days news. do stay with us. this is bbc news.

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 pep up. 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 m4 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 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, drierand 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, with 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 wednesday onwards, we start to see that much milder air pushing in off the atlantic for all areas by the time we reach the end of the week. but that does come with a change in the weather. yes, it will turn mild. yes, it will turn milder. double—figure values there, as you can see, but it'll turn a lot more unsettled with spells of wet and windy weather at times. take care.
