hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan thing. the very warm welcome. benjamin netanyahu benjamin neta nyahu has benjamin netanyahu has ordered his team to leave the wall. he said israel's right to defend itself does not extend to a right to attack civilian populations. a convoy of humanitarian aid has crossed into gaza for the first time since thursday. both sides blaming each other for the collapse of that truce. a spokesman said they were now hitting hamas targets all across the strip. there have been israeli air strikes in northwestern gaza and in the south. palestinian red crescent said it received the convoy. fighting re—started on friday morning after

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 the moment that a residential complex was struck. you can see those thick plumes of smoke in the distance of people running from the area. a spokesman said we're now hitting hamas targets all over the gaza strip. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega has more reports. 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. in central gaza, children were taken to this hospital. this woman fled her home when the air strike started and her brother was killed. when we heard the bombing

he was telling people to get "when we heard the bombing he was telling people to get to get out, get out". we then find out he was hit, she said. 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, they're counting the dead.

hugo bachega, bbc news, jerusalem. the israel defense forces updated us on their operation in gaza. here is spokesperson peter lerner. from our perspective, we understand that this is going to be a long war, a war that is not bound by time at this as we see it. by time as we see it. and indeed, the reality is one, where hamas have taken the last 16 years of their governance in order to build an extensive subterranean capability, an extensive rocket array, an extensive drone explosive drone capability.

and this is the enemy that we are facing. the type of combat that we are facing on the ground includes urban warfare, close combat, sometimes door—to—door and especially explosive devices, anti—tank guided missiles, rpgs and sniperfire and machine gun fire. these are the the main characteristics of what we're finding on the ground. but i would say that our forces are very effective and in almost and in almost every engagement, i would definitely identify tens of terrorists that are being killed in the engagements with the idf on the ground. we will continue our efforts in order to achieve our goals and uphold and restore safety and security to the people of israel. and with that, i would like to open it to questions. thank you very much, lieutenant colonel peter lerner. if there are any questions from the floor, please raise your hand. if you have any questions on zoom,

please write them in the chat box. our first question coming in from paul adams from the bbc. returning to the safe zone subject that was discussed with ambassador regev, has israel abandoned the idea of al—malki as a single designated safe zone? the idea of al—mawasi as a single designated safe zone? the new maps are very detailed, but they do not actually specify any safe zones. what are the specific designated areas? thanks, paul. it remains a core area, a safer zone, an area which can be utilised. unfortunately, we've not seen a huge amount of people going there, and so we are adjusting our operational assessment of the situation on the ground. what you have noticed in the maps and as you rightly pointed out, it is very detailed and specific areas that people need to move out people need to move out specifically to go to safer areas to move out specifically to go to safer areas, there won't be operations at that time. hamas has turned the civilian arena

into a a fortified position or fortified positions. or fortified positions, and it creates a huge challenge for the military. but we are determined to distinguish between the civilians and the non—combatants and the terrorists. and that is why we are asking people to evacuate from specific locations and go to get to out of that area so that they can have, i would say, what what would be there to get them out of harm's way? peter lerner there. as we mentioned, french president emmanuel macron has also been speaking today. he said israel's right to defend itself does not extend to a right to attack civilian populations. here he is speaking at the united nations climate summit. translation: we have more than regretted it, of course, l and i repeat my concerns about the resumption of attacks. we recognise israel's right to defend itself, but within the framework of international law and respect

for humanitarian law, and under no circumstances can this right to defend oneself be a right to attack civilian populations. so i hope that we can put the weapons down so that we can resume the humanitarian work, the political discussions and the work on freeing the hostages. today, this work has been suspended, as you quite rightly said. i had the discussion with president herzog yesterday. we're going to need several days of work. the objective is both to give visibility on the conditions for the release of hostages again and also on other security guarantees that israel might request. so this is an ongoing negotiation. obviously, we remain very concerned and france's position remains unchanged on this point. as he heard earlier when we played a little bit of the idf news conference, you may have heard that a question was asked by our diplomatic correspondent paul adams. i spoke with paul earlier and asked him more about the news conference.

well, you heard the exchange with peter lerner. i was really trying to get some sense of how israel is going to behave as it resumes its military activity in the gaza strip and whether it has got a new approach to protecting civilian lives. what he was outlining in essenceis lives. what he was outlining in essence is israel is no longer pointing civilians in the direction of safe areas. it is merely telling civilians where the areas are unsafe. these mats that are being dropped are being broadcast and transmitted in various ways. they're now highlighting where the military wants to focus and telling people to get out of those areas. the israelis will continue to go after what they can to considered to be high—profile

targets. we saw one hit in rafah yesterday and won also in khan younis today. those don't come in the same guarantees. i think palestinians will continue to make the argument that nowhere feels genuinely safe. the israelis are making a plan that —— making it plain that they are carrying on activity. twin goals of defeating hamas and making sure it is no longer a political control of the gaza strip. they're making it abundantly clear that they blame hamas for the collapse of the week on truce. they say hamas did not provide a credible list of hostages to be released yesterday and that is why the truce ultimately collapsed. paul, we've been hearing that emmanuel macron wants to go to

qatar. we've heard from you is vice president kamala harris, must be doing more to protect civilians it echoes what us secretary of state antony blinken was saying, that israel could not do in the south of the gaza strip what we saw it doing in the north. as for emmanuel macron, he may want to go to qatar and lend his weight to efforts to get these negotiations going again, but we've heard in the last 2a hours from hamas and the israelis that those negotiations have broken down.

emmanuel macron has not been of particular player in the whole hostage negotiation process, so it's hard to see how he can now insert himself and it, particularly as he is rather alienating the israelis with some of the comments about their military activity so far. i wouldn't necessarily replace too many hopes on his ability to restart a process that was increasingly delicate and difficult. paul adams injerusalem- _ as i mentioned there with paul adams, us vice president kamala harris is in dubai for the cop28 conference, and she is making the most of that trip to speak with leaders in the region about the fighting in gaza. she outlined the united states' suggested plan for what happens when the fighting eventually comes to an end. so, we all want this conflict to end as soon_ so, we all want this conflict to end as soon as — so, we all want this conflict to end as soon as possible. and to ensure israel's _ as soon as possible. and to ensure israel's security and ensure security— israel's security and ensure security for the palestinian people.

of the end of this ceasefire. . but still, the united states has much more leverage to deploy| if it should choose to do so. already seeing that, since the resumption of hostilities, how do you think, matt, 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 escalating those i 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 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 i targets, coming up with a huge target list, levelling -

entire apartment blocks because maybe one room or part of a floor was used by hamas — l therebyjustifying 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 i clearly about it and act upon it. i 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, i support 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 the 7th. it's continuing to hold hostages and fire. - 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. let's turn to dubai and the latest from the cop28 climate summit. from the cop28 climate summit. across the day, we've been hearing from various world leaders. it's been announced that at least 116 nations have committed to tripling renewable energy capacity to combat global warming. justin rowlatt reports from dubai. 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. 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. 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 lost and far more damage done. tomorrow, the focus here at cop28 returns here at cop28 turns to the impact of climate on health. justin rowlatt, bbc news, dubai. colombia announced it willjoin an international alliance calling for a treaty to end use of fossil fuels , even though its economy relies on them. i asked colombian environment minister maria suzanna mohamed why. the situation of the international diagnosis of how doing right now with increase of potentially 20% of emissions by 2030 in this global revision. so, the reality, even

though we are having targets to reduce emissions, they are not reducing the level we are requiring. we need to talk about the root cause of what is causing emissions. more than 80% use fossil fuels. this means there at a position we need to face fossil fuels, but the economic implications up depend on 60% in punk from expert from... 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 from a negotiated treaty that allow us to complement the international agreement of paris so that we can have clear rules so that we can face fossil fuels and deal with economic

consequences and a just and integrated manner. this consequences and a 'ust and integrated manner._ consequences and a 'ust and interrated manner. , , integrated manner. this is something that a lot of countries _ integrated manner. this is something that a lot of countries will _ integrated manner. this is something that a lot of countries will be - that 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 doing and planning as yourfirst steps towards this? doing and planning as your first steps towards this?— doing and planning as your first steps towards this? well, we have to develo steps towards this? well, we have to deve10p whole _ steps towards this? well, we have to develop whole sectors _ steps towards this? well, we have to develop whole sectors of _ steps towards this? well, we have to develop whole sectors of the - steps towards this? well, we have to l develop whole sectors of the economy that could replace income about the export of coal and oil polluting the colombian economy. this includes investment that we have released today at cop, including increasing 8 million visitors to columbia, but also the development of an export industry for renewable energy and industrialisation in our country. they are three key sectors including agriculture that we need to develop. the situation is every time we talk about this transition, you see the

financial system created nervousness and with his nervousness, creating the downgrade of the situation of capital like ours. a treaty that allows to have secure economic competitions and the plan we've been talking about for a year now. ah, iat talking about for a year now. a lot ofthe talking about for a year now. a lot of the discussions _ talking about for a year now. a lot of the discussions are _ talking about for a year now. a lot of the discussions are about climate financing. what kind of funding does your country want to come away from this summit with? we your country want to come away from this summit with?— this summit with? we are talking about specially _ this summit with? we are talking about specially how _ this summit with? we are talking about specially how can - this summit with? we are talking about specially how can we - this summit with? we are talking i about specially how can we release the foreign service that we need to

pay every year. it has increased in 30%, and now a significant amount has to be paid in foreign debt. we don't have a problem and paid the debt, we are not at risk, but if we called for an agreement, we could make this transition... than we think we're going to be able to have predictable and constant flow of resources so that we can make the public investments that allow for the concision. otherwise, we might be putting targets here, we can have international funds, be putting targets here, we can have internationalfunds, but be putting targets here, we can have international funds, but the economic situation of the country will not allow them to make the transition and what will have probably is an energy and economic transition that is not fair to all. that's all we have for this half hour. plenty more on the cop summit

on the bbc news website. we're also running a live page on developments from the middle east. do take a look there. hello there. although much of the country today has been very cold but dry with a bit of sunshine and mist and fog. we've seen some snow showers across western wales, northwest england, some frequent and heavy snow showers for cumbria. the met office issued an amber warning for cumbria for these snow showers. but it's this line of snow showers which has been affecting irish sea coasts of england and wales, which will pep up through the evening and overnight as it spreads its way eastwards. so, we see a couple of centimetres of snow north of the m4 corridor, even down to lower levels, and that snow will push across northern, eastern england towards the end of the night. further accumulations, more than a couple of centimetres, perhaps, over the higher ground. a cold night to come. ice will be a significant risk where snow and sleet will be falling.

very cold across northern scotland — —10, —11 degrees, but perhaps frost—free across southern england. now, to start sunday, we'll have that wintry mix across eastern areas first thing and then it'll clear away. and then it'll clear away, and then england and wales staying rather cloudy with further outbreaks of rain at times. but the far north of england, northern ireland, scotland will have a bright day with some sunshine, but it will stay cold, especially across scotland, perhaps a little less cold across the south, perhaps up to double figures there for plymouth and for the channel islands. that's all because of this area of low pressure, which will move in during sunday night into monday. so, it looks like the start of the new week will be cloudy, wet, windy across large parts of england and wales. and we'll see showers moving in off the north sea affecting eastern scotland. these will have a wintry flavour to them, so the best of the sunshine will tend to be across the north and the west of the uk. a cold day to come despite the fact temperatures a little bit higher in the south. because of the wind, certainly, it's going to feel quite raw.

tuesday, that area of low pressure pulls out into the north sea, so its eastern parts of scotland, east england, which will see the strongest of the winds, further wintry showers further north and west, thanks to a ridge of high pressure. it looks like it will be cold, but at least dry and bright blue skies and plenty of sunshine. another cold day to come wherever you are. the cold weather persists into wednesday, but after wednesday, you'll notice the blue colours move northwards and we start to see the orange colours taking over. it will be turning a lot milder towards the end of the week, but with that milder air comes more unsettled conditions. we'll see low pressure systems bringing spells of wet and windy weather to all areas. see you later.

live from london. this is bbc news. israel intensifies its bombardment of khan younis in the southern gaza strip, with a wave of air strikes, causing massive destruction. the hamas—run health ministry says nearly 200 people have been killed since friday morning. french president emmanuel macron says he's heading to qatar to kick—start efforts for a new israel—gaza truce. translation: we recognise israel's right to defend itself, _ but within the framework of international law, under no circumstances can this right be a right to attack civilian populations. the palestinian red crescent says about 50 humanitarian aid trucks have been allowed through the rafa crossing into gaza — the first since thursday.

at cop 28, at least 116 nations commit to tripling renewable energy capacity — i spoke to labour leader sir keir stamer, who is at the summit. we will have more and all those new stories in a moment but let's go first to the bbc sport centre for the latest sports round—up. hello, we're starting with football and the premier league, where top of the table arsenal were mostly comfortable winners over wolves. after leading 2—0 for most of the game with goals from saka and 0degaard, the end of the match was tense at the emirates when wolves' matteus cunha scored in the 86th minute. but despite a few chances,

they couldn't find an equaliser and arsenal took the 2—1 win to move 4 points clear of manchester city who play tomorrow. iam i am really happy with the way that the team performed. super aggressive defensively, almost conceded nothing and at the end, it should have been much bigger a scoreline that when you make a mistake and they take the chance, the premier league is game on. at the other end of the table, burnley grabbed valuable points with their biggest win in the premier league — thrashing sheffield united 5—0 to move off the bottom of the table already 2—0 up before half time, burnley took advantage of sheffield united having a player sent—off — just before the break, to score 3 more in the second half. it moves burnley up to 18th, just above sheffield united who drop to 19th. they deserve it, they have performed

well for a while. but this league is brutal, they did it in a good fashion today. i think they were raring to go, they have been waiting for it. the frustration of last week, i don't think turning to negativity, i think turning something that will show people. it was only a win, but throughout it was only a win, but throughout it was something important. brentford are up to tenth at the expense of luton town who they beat 3—1. all brentford's goals came in the second half after a quiet luton hoverjust above the relegation zone. so confirmation of those results and the latest from nottingham forest who havejust kicked off against everton, who are currently bottom of the table after burnley�*s win. the late, late kick off is at newcastle versus manchester united, with both sides looking to close in on the top four. ronnie o'sullivan is through to the final of the uk snooker

championship in york — 30 years since his first there. he'll play eitherjudd trump or ding junhui for a record extending eighth uk title. it might not have been so straightforward in the semis, though, when o'sullivan's opponent — hossein vafaei nearly pulled the score back to 4—3, but he missed an easy black. o'sullivan then showed why he's the world number one, bringing the last red into play, to go on to take that frame, and he eventually clinched the match 6 frames to 2. if you played like he did in the previous matches, he would probably have beaten me today. he let me off the hook a few times i didn't put as much pressure on me and i managed to put a few balls and make a couple of decent breaks will stop but he wasn't far away from it, if he plays like he had in the previous matches, i think she would have won. —— he

would have won. bangladesh's cricketers have made history by winning their first home test match against new zealand. and they have this man to thank — left—arm spinner taijul islam — whose 10 wicket haul helped them to victory in sylhet. his 6 for 75 in the second innings meant new zealand were dismissed for 181 and bangladesh won by 150 runs. it's a two test series. and the draw is underway for next year's euros — you can keep up do date with that on the bbc sport website, but that's all from me for now. let's return to our top story. let's go live to tel aviv, these are supporters and families of hostages who are still being held in gaza. they are holding a rally, we have seenin they are holding a rally, we have seen in recent weeks, since the 7th of october, and there attacks by hamas which saw some 240 people taken hostage, theirfamilies have been regularly holding these vigils,

these valleys, to try and ensure that all of their relatives are safely returned home. and of course, during that temporary truce, we did see some hostages were women and children, being released, as part of the deal, which has now broken down. talks between israel and hamas no longerfunctioning talks between israel and hamas no longer functioning at the moment but we have heard from france's emmanuel macron that he intends to go to qatar. qatar is a key broker of those peace talks to try and encourage another trace. let's have a listen in. —— another truce.

and as you can see, some of the faces of those who were taken on the 7th of october. an update that has come in and, they have been speaking to the deputy chief of hamas who has said that the remaining hostages are israeli soldiers and civilian men who served in the israeli army. that's coming in, and let's move away from that now because of course, there have been another other developments from the middle east. since a temporary ceasefire expired yesterday, israel's military has intensified its bombardment of gaza. humanitarian groups are warning of catastrophic consequences for civilians. 0ur middle east correspondent has more.

khan younis, gaza's southern capital, once labelled safe. america says this new phase of israel's war on gaza must look different to before. two days on, it looks and sounds the same. israel today bombed 50 targets here, more than any previous day of the conflict. it has been telling people to move to shelters further south. this city is where top hamas leaders are said to have been hiding. it is also where this man and his three children are staying, having fled here from the fighting in the north. translation: , ., ., , ., translation: israeli told us that khan younis _ translation: israeli told us that khan younis was _ translation: israeli told us that khan younis was a _ translation: israeli told us that khan younis was a safe _ translation: israeli told us that khan younis was a safe place, - translation: israeli told us that l khan younis was a safe place, which led us to flee here. now even khan younis has became a war zone. where are we supposed to go? 0ur string

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 putin can't put his boot on our throat and there are of course many, many thousands ofjobs in renewables. so i am 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 a general election, until 2027, and i'm reading there are major doubts at the top of the party that that level of investment will ever be met. just tell us straight, sir keir, will it ever happen if you win 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 it will happen and i'm determined that we will have a mission driven government, which is a government with a driving sense of purpose and we will have five missions, five big things 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, 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 were 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 taking 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 there's 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 going through now in this cost—of—living crisis. that is why i am here talking to international leaders and investors at cop28. sir keir, 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."

an 84—year—old man has died after an explosion at a house in edinburgh. two others were taken to hospital following the blast in the baberton area of the city. police say there are no suspicious circumstances. katie hunter has the story. a home destroyed, a street covered in debris. the aftermath of last night's explosion. some people in the barberton area of edinburgh thought a bomb had gone off. i live in the white window. arthur mckenna, had to leave his home along with neighbours. it was scary. scary. so unexpected, you know. and the structural damages for houses all round up that road, the patio doors buckled. an 84—year—old man in a neighbouring property died. a 43—year—old woman and a man aged 54 were taken to hospital. many people living nearby say they did what they could to help. i went outside and then my garage

door had blown halfway open, then saw two guys running past and then they said, "quick, get blankets, get cushions and come out." and it wasjust a huge shock. some people forced to leave their homes here last night say they don't know when they'll get back in. people have been returning here today to see the damage. but from behind the cordon, in some cases, police officers have been going into people's houses to pick up their essential belongings. the city of edinburgh council says it will help people affected. so the council's incident management team, i know are already involved and they're liaising with the emergency services to see what support can be provided for the local community. police scotland says there are no suspicious circumstances and gas distribution company sgn says it's too early to speculate on what happened. this community will want answers, but at the moment people's thoughts are with the victims. katie hunter, bbc news, edinburgh.

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 thursday november 29th in kenya. the 32—year—old was commissioned from sandhurst in 2014. he had been deployed to europe, the middle east, the falklands and africa. he was described by the ministry of defence as at his very best when the conditions were at their 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. however, they have described his operational record as a glittering one.

they have also said he aced many of their military�*s hardest courses. they've said his fitness was legendary. major mccool�*s commanding officer said he had a compelling character and a deep humility which displayed a wisdom beyond his years. adding to that is the secretary of state for defence grant shapps who said it was clear from the tributes from those who knew him that he was an exceptional person, an exceptional soldier, who was loved and respected in equal measure. major mccool has been described as a family man, leaving behind his parents and five siblings. here in the uk, train drivers in the aslef union have begun a series of rolling one—day strikes across england. it's the latest industrial action in their long—running dispute with train operators over pay and working practices. marc ashdown reports. passengers on lner and east midlands railways were the first to face disruption as a series of one—day

strikes by up to 12,000 train drivers gets under way. there wasn't much festive cheer at york station. it's made us about an hour late into york for the christmas markets. we had to get a bus unfortunately. missed our train so we've had a bit of a nightmare really. it was a bit chaotic but i think they need to prepare - when people are buying tickets, the fact that there's not - going to be enough room. on top of a blanket overtime ban until next saturday, drivers at different rail companies will walk out on different days over the course of next week. disruption is likely to be widespread and people are already looking for creative ways to get around, like emergency car hire. typically on a strike day we see something like a 40%, 50% uplift in terms of our bookings. they all tend to be last—minute. we see a big uplift in one ways, as we call it, so customers who take a car to one location and return it somewhere else.

well, driving is certainly one option, although urban areas do tend to get much busier during strike days and the forecast is pretty chilly, so the roads could get quite icy. some people, of course, can work from home these days thanks to the wonders of modern technology, but there are lots and lots of people working in quite crucial jobs, often quite low—paid, who don't have a choice but to try and get around. many work in the hospitality industry. bars, pubs and restaurants are starting their busiest and most important period of the year and for many it could be make or break. it's the second busiest week in the calendar for us in the run—up to christmas. lots of office christmas parties, lots of christmas lunches that were booked that are now being postponed and overall, the series of rolling strikes are estimated to cost the industry a further 600 million. the aslef dispute is centred on pay. the group representing the train operators, backed by the government, insists the pay rise of 8% over two years is fair,

but the unions says there are still too many caveats on changes to working practices, which it says it can't agree to. no fresh negotiations are planned and aslef members have also just voted to continue industrial action until at least the summer. seven years after it first hit our screens, the final episodes of the royal drama the crown, have now been released. 0ur correspondent charlotte gallagher reports. a life of duty verses the rebellious royal 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. 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. and it's so lovely for us to sort of conclude this relationship. promise me that i will actually be

dead when they close the coffin. did you find you felt differently about the royal family and elizabeth and margaret after you film these series? playing someone whose whole life has been about duty? and, you know, and i think that's why there were so many people queuing after the queen had died, because i think a lot of people were saying, you went to work every single day of your life and you didn't call in sick. i think people were just saying, thanks for turning up every day. thank you. and you found out that the queen had died, didn't you, when you were filming the crown? that must have been so strange. yes. we were doing a scene together, just the two of us all day. fortunately, i had weirdly, i had ten days off, and that was the ten days of mourning. i had to go back filming the day after her funeral, and i think that was more difficult for other people looking at me.

but even when you play the queen on television, there are some things that you just can't replicate. there was something about her, she could just stop a room and make people go really quiet. yes. she doesn't stop the room. the room stops. and because she's just there being that person. and we all put that on her. and you become, i think for her, you just become an entity, which she has no control over whatsoever. you know, it's what we all do around that person that creates the sort of enigma. it's 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, i don't think. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. there is plenty more on the website. stay with us on bbc news.

hello there. although much of the country today has been very cold but dry with a bit of sunshine and mist and fog, we've seen some snow showers across western wales, northwest england, some frequent and heavy snow showers for cumbria. the met office issued an amber warning for cumbria for these snow showers. but it's this line of snow showers which has been affecting irish sea coasts of england and wales, which will pep up through the evening and overnight as it spreads its way eastwards. so we see a couple of centimetres of snow north of the m4 corridor, even down to lower levels, and that snow will push across northern, eastern england towards the end of the night. further accumulations, more than a couple of centimetres, perhaps, over the higher ground. a cold night to come. ice will be a significant risk where snow and sleet will be falling. very cold across northern scotland — minus ten, —11 degrees, but perhaps frost—free across southern england. now, to start sunday, we'll have that wintry mix across eastern areas first thing

and then it'll clear away. and then england and wales staying rather cloudy with further outbreaks of rain at times. but the far north of england, northern ireland, scotland will have a bright day with some sunshine, but it will stay cold, especially across scotland, perhaps a little less cold across the south, perhaps up to double figures there for plymouth and for the channel islands. that's all because of this area of low pressure, which will move in during sunday night into monday. so it looks like the start of the new week will be cloudy, wet, windy across large parts of england and wales. and we'll see showers moving in off the north sea, affecting eastern scotland. these will have a wintry flavour to them, so the best of the sunshine will tend to be across the north and the west of the uk. a cold day to come despite the fact temperatures a little bit higher in the south. because of the wind, certainly, it's going to feel quite raw. tuesday, that area of low pressure pulls out into the north sea. so its eastern parts of scotland, east england, which will see the strongest of the winds, further wintry showers further north and west, thanks to a ridge of high pressure.

it looks like it will be cold, but at least dry and bright blue skies and plenty of sunshine. another cold day to come wherever you are. the cold weather persists into wednesday, but after wednesday you'll notice the blue colours move northwards and we start to see the orange colours taking over. it will be turning a lot milder towards the end of the week, but with that milder air comes more unsettled conditions. we'll see low pressure systems bringing spells of wet and windy weather to all areas. see you later.
