telling palestinians to go to safe areas as cynical. as israel's renewed bombardment of gaza intensifies, the un's children's agency has described the dropping of leaflets telling palestinians to go to safe areas as cynical. i know i'm not safe, this is not ukraine, there is no where to go. 100 of my un colleagues have been killed, the largest number of united nations colleagues or workers, rather in the history of the united nations in any war. in what will be a blow for the families of the israeli hostages, the political wing of hamas has said there will be no more exchanges until a permanent ceasefire is in place. at the un climate summit, at least 116 nations have committed to tripling renewable energy capacity. and europe braces for winter chaos as heavy snow sweeps across western europe.

hello, welcome to the programme. we are going to talk about israel in a moment but i want to bring you some breaking news in the last ten minutes or so. some breaking news in the last ten minutes or 50-— some breaking news in the last ten minutes or so. one person has died and another — minutes or so. one person has died and another attacked _ minutes or so. one person has died and another attacked in _ minutes or so. one person has died and another attacked in central - and another attacked in central paris. one person died, one is injured, according to the interior ministry in france. he posted, the ministerfor the interior, posted on social media to say that one person had died after that attack. the police have courageously arrested an assailant, attacking a passer—by in paris and want deceased person and one injured person is being treated by the fire brigade there. and it ends by warning people to avoid the area. so that is an attack in paris, one person has died and another injured, according to the interior ministry in france. back to our top

story now. israel has pulled its negotiators out of talks in qatar, because it says discussions there aimed at agreeing a new truce with hamas — designated a terrorist organisation by the uk government — had reached a "dead end". the deputy head of hamas s political wing has also said there will be no more hostage exchanges in gaza until there s a permanent ceasefire. since the temporary truce expired on friday — israel's military has intensified its bombardment of gaza, with 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. according to the hamas—run health ministry, 193 people have been killed and 650 injured since the resumption of fighting. a convoy of humanitarian aid has crossed into gaza for the first time since thursday. humanitarian groups are warning of catastrophic consequences for civilians.

the international federation of the red cross says aid workers won't be able to reach people in need if the air strikes continue. we have also seen protests tonight in tel aviv with thousands demanding another ceasefire, for the hosages to be released and for benjamin netanyahu to be removed. a number of the already released hostages spoke at the rally and called for the prime minister not leave any hostages behind. our first report this hour is from lucy williamson. khan yunis, gaza's southern capital, once labelled safe. america says this new phase of israel's war in gaza must look different to before. two days in, it looks and sounds the same.

residents say the bombing of khan younis was the heaviest since the conflict began. the city is where senior twell tacro leaders are said to be hiding. israel has told people to be hiding. israel has told people to move to shelters further south. it's also where nader abu warda and his three children are staying, having fled here from the fighting in the north. translation: the israelis told us that khan yunis was a safe zone, | which led us to flee here. now, even khan yunis has become a war zone. where are we supposed to go? our children are stranded on the streets. israel says military pressure on hamas helps free hostages. 110 women and children were released before the truce broke down.

really, today was my worst day. one of them is jarden�*s sister romi, kidnapped from the nova music festival. the negotiation and the releases and everything gave me hope . that i will win the - lottery the next time. ijust know that my sister is - waiting and she saw the other ones get released and she knew- that she could be the next one. tonight, families and their supporters held a rally in tel aviv. the strain of the last few days colouring the mood. this lady was forced to leave her sun behind. i am a ha - forced to leave her sun behind. i am a happy and — forced to leave her sun behind. i am a happy and excited _ forced to leave her sun behind. i —n a happy and excited to stand him in front of you. i came to say thank you because without you i wouldn't be here. now we have to go back and get my sun. the be here. now we have to go back and get my sun-— get my sun. the stories of hostages and their families _ get my sun. the stories of hostages and their families are _ get my sun. the stories of hostages and their families are starting - get my sun. the stories of hostages and their families are starting to - and their families are starting to divert after a week in which more than 100 women and children were released, there is an effort to keep up released, there is an effort to keep up the pressure on the government not to leave anyone behind. negotiations to release more hostages seem to have stalled. some

he worried that military goals are now the priority. israel has said bombing and bargaining can take place together. something for families to cling to. lucy williamson, bbc news, tel aviv. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, held a news conference this evening. he said the continuation of the offensive was inevitable. translation: the day before | yesterday with the war cabinet, we said yes, unfortunately, we will have to continue that fight with tremendous force. we have already hit out 400 hamas terror terror targets. and we have... we have killed those terrorists in the in the north and, of course, wherever it is needed to be done. and one of our soldiers, who i visited in the gaza strip, he asked me, will you continue, will you renew the fighting after that agreement? and i said, "unequivocally, yes.

though i want that to be very clear cut to everyone. and i'm saying so in a very unequivocal manner, we will continue doing so until we achieve all its objectives. and one cannot achieve those objectives without continuing on the ground with that maneuver. and that was actually crucial, it was critical in order to bring the results. and now it continues to be that crucial for the continuation. i would like to say to my friends in the world, you are partners in those objectives, our objectives, to eliminate hamas and release all our hostages. and i'm going to repeat that, we cannot achieve those objectives without winning and we cannot win without continuing that ground maneuver. the idf and the security forces are doing so with determination, with clout and power in the framework of the international law.

benjamin netanyahu benjamin neta nyahu reiterating benjamin netanyahu reiterating those goals he has been speaking about since october the 7th about freeing the hostages and also continuing this offensive to essentially eliminate hamas. i spoke to our diplomatic correspondent paul adams, and started by asking if we learnt anything knew from the israeli prime minister about the situation in gaza. not really. he believes that the only reason more than 100 israeli hostages were released was because of relentless military pressure. that is a message that has been delivered from the prime minister on down for several weeks now. and they really believe that is why people have been set free. the negotiations to keep that exchange of hostages and prisoners broke down.

israel accusing hamas of reneging on a promise to release all female prisoners and so that is why we have seen this return to military action, which the israeli government is arguing, will be the start of building up pressure again on hamas in the hope that it will convince them to release more hostages in the future. that is the theory. many israelis are very apprehensive and they want to see more of their relatives, more of their friends released and there was a big rally in tel aviv tonight in which two recently released hostages addressed a vast crowd and the call was, bring them all home now. my next question was how ordinary israelis feel about that speech and his reasoning for resuming the war? look, i think clearly israelis were delighted at this spectacle of groups of hostages emerging night

after night for a whole week. it really raised hopes that more people might be able to walk free and those hopes have obviously, for now, been dashed. i think most israelis share the government's determination to destroy hamas. they never want to be in the position they were in back on october the 7th where hamas was able to launch those murderous assaults on the communities of southern israel. by and large israelis support the government's objectives of removing that threat even if many israelis are unimpressed by the prime minister and indeed his government. they separate between the military objectives and their support for the prime minister himself. paul adams, our diplomatic correspondent injerusalem.

as we have been reporting, israel has stepped up its bombardment of gaza, with blocks of flats in the southern city of khan younis among the targets hit. unicef spokespersonjames elder is in khan younis. he told me the dropping of leaflets telling palestinians to go to safe areas is �*almost cynical�*. it is very intense, it has gone all night with hundreds and hundreds of rounds. i am night with hundreds and hundreds of rounds. iam no night with hundreds and hundreds of rounds. i am no military expert, but bumps, the hospitals were saturated before this. they have no more capacity, literally blood in the corridors, mothers yet again holding babies who look like they have been killed. again, children with limbs missing, they have been amputated. it is a war zone, around 1000 children here have suffered amputations. despite what we have heard, you could not possibly have

the same intensity, voracity of attacks where civilians are everywhere in the south, we have seen for seven weeks in the north. it is absolutely what has been happening. i don't think there was a ten minute period last night where people didn't endure that. i am here, i have a bed. there are people out there who don't have a bed and there is no protection, nowhere is safe. certainly this war on children has resumed. we safe. certainly this war on children has resumed-— safe. certainly this war on children has resumed. we were talking about aids, we has resumed. we were talking about aids. we are — has resumed. we were talking about aids, we are hearing _ has resumed. we were talking about aids, we are hearing reports- has resumed. we were talking about aids, we are hearing reports about i aids, we are hearing reports about 50 trucks of aid have crossed through into gaza, how much of a help is that in terms of, clearly there is a huge scale of devastation from what you are saying, is 50 trucks efficient enough to kind of help the situation a long, or do you need more?— prior to the horrors of october 7th, 500 trucks were coming

to the gaza strip, commercial and united nations. of course, for long periods in these last seven weeks, it's been none. so 50 is still, it's triage. everything right now is kind of triage, trying to almost stem the bleeding. it does not allow for a meaningful humanitarian response. and so the notion that now of a massive disease outbreak, middle class families have lost homes, seen family members killed, many family members moved... sorry, moved, moved. explosion. it's quite relentless, the bombardments here. moved twice, three times, and now they're living on three or four liters of water a day carrying what they've got, not enough food, sewerage and sanitation systems have broken down, there's no fuel for them and, of course, many of the workers are dead or displaced. this is a nightmare, and as maybe you can hear or not, the bombardments continue with some severity.

if you are safe to continue the interview, please do so but if you need to go, please do so. that is very important to us. it is around 200 humanitarian aid lorries we have had an update on that have entered gaza via egypt. but as you say, the scale seems quite uncertain in terms of the need of people there. in terms of where people can go for shelter, hospitals seem to be the destination before the truth, what happens now with people have to escape or take refuge elsewhere? it is a great question, it is such a critical thing right now. there is a full safety of safety where people ca n full safety of safety where people can go which has maybe been designated say. it is simply not the case. one area that has been talked of, not far from case. one area that has been talked of, not farfrom here. it is a

case. one area that has been talked of, not far from here. it is a strip of, not far from here. it is a strip of 1a kilometres. it is 4% of the gaza, 4% of the gaza seeing 80% of the population put in. it would be like people being put in a car park. it is simply not possible, there is simply no where safe to go. they nicely say you need to go somewhere safe, the point we try to make, children seeking refuge in a hospital, they are not safe. i was in hospital yesterday, there were bombardments within 100m in hospital yesterday, there were bombardments within100m hurdles we know hospitals that have been hit multiple towns. the thousands of people sleeping out without a blanket and so on, absolutely not say. hundreds of rounds of artillery in a densely populated area. i know i'm not safe, this is not ukraine, there is never safe to go. the united nations workers, the highest number and workers killed in the history of war. it is very

dangerous, that people can go somewhere. the only way people can be safe from the bombs at least is for the attacks to stop and then we have to address this humanitarian crisis of food, water, medicine. and in terms of the the situation with zones, these areas that are now designated as unsafe zones, how helpful has that been? because that's what israel is saying now, that they're going to to designate areas as unsafe zones, to alert people and civilians in gaza that these aren't areas that they should be, because those are areas that are targets for them? yes, and i'm told that some of those warnings come as an sms ten minutes before, almost illogical, almost cynical. some of the leaflets that that have come about which safe zones to go have a qr code on them. that would be for someone who had been able to power their phone in a place where there's no

electricity apart from, say, a generator, and certainly where there's no access to 4g or 5g wi—fi at all. these would be the same people who were in a safe place in the north in a un shelter that was bombed, and they've come here and been told to go somewhere else. it's not real and i'm very unsettled by the notion that people are taking root with this idea, i see the families on the street, we see the the anxiety, a look at a child when they know, as a child said today when their mother was crying, he said, "my mum just doesn't know where she's going." not that she was lost, but she was in a trance, she's run out of places to go. they were trying to set up their home on a sidewalk. so there is nowhere to go and the idea that this place is safe or this isn't, unfortunately, gets proven to be false in a lethal, lethal way for children when, you know, when they're hit and it was a safe place. and james, can you tell us a bit about where you are right now? yeah, i'm in khan younis, so not farfrom nasser hospital, densely, densely populated.

and 1.8 million people are now in this area. so, and this is... sorry, more explosions, i'm not far from the sea. so, again, i have no military expertise, but some of these i'm understanding that would be that would be artillery from the navy and the ones that really shake the windows or worse, glass is your great fear with these things. glass and shrapnel do horrible things to a child's body. so it's a guesthouse of sorts that that we have for staff that is a base. and then you go on convoys to the north or delivering aid here, wherever we can possibly get aid to. i know the north is unreachable at the moment. and james, when we've spoken to aid agencies before, they've talked about the need not only to supply aid to the general population, but also provide the kind of basic raw materials to commercial operators.

so shop sellers in parts of gaza, so they can continue that trade. is there any sign of normal life where you are? no. no, there's really... it's a great question. no, i think for a few days of the ceasefire getting to days five and six, i would go back and see some families consistently, the same ones with children in hospitals, and you'd start to see that little smirk of childhood return. wasn't a normal life, it's a family of five who previously were in a home with a couch, a television and a laptop, now on a double mattress for four orfive people in a corridor of a hospital or outside at a university. it was normal in that they were getting a moment of normality back and of trauma dissipating. now, absolutely not, people people are utterly terrified. everyone will ask, get asked that question in increased english from a lot of people,

which is, "will you end the war? "are you here to end the war?" and my answer, i don't say... my answer in my brain is, "no, your life is being decided elsewhere. we're simply here to stem the bleeding." that was james elder speaking to me from gaza. we are going back to the breaking news we had from paris. we have some live pictures of central paris, very close to the eiffel tower where this attack has taken place. just to recap, one person has died and another injured after an assailant attack passers—by in central paris near the eiffel tower, according to the interior minister of france. who has posted this on social media on saturday. so the police have apparentlyjust courageously arrested an assailant, according to this tweet on social media, which we can see now. the police have arrested an assailant

attacking passers—by in paris and one person has died and another injured person is being treated by the paris fire brigade. and it ends with telling people to avoid the area. and as we can see, there are police, the fire brigade and ambulance there and the whole area has been cordoned off. it is not entirely sure what happened in terms of who the assailant is but there are unconfirmed reports about that at the moment of various different media outlets. but as we can see, the police are handling the situation and we will bring you the latest as we hear it. let's turn to dubai and the latest from the united nations climate summit — cop28.

there has been a promise by at least 116 countries to treble renewable energy capacity by 2030. more than 20 countries including the uk, france and south korea have said they will treble their nuclear power capacity by 2050 as an alternative energy source. and the major oil companies have said they will reduce carbon emmissions when refining oil into petrol and diesel. a representative for pope francis delivered his message calling for lifestyle changes to save the planet. our climate editor justin rowlatt reports. the pope couldn't make it to dubai — his doctorforbade him from travelling — but a cardinal read his words. climate change has "run amuck", 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. and we had another new announcement from around 50 oil companies, including the world's largest, saudi arabia's aramco. they said they would drive down the carbon emissions from refining oil into petrol, diesel and other products to net zero by 2050. now, that would reduce the carbon produced by a litre of petrol by up to 15%. it's better than nothing, but really, we need to stop using this stuff completely. the pope and the secretary general of the un have both said fossil fuels need to go. the american and chinese climate envoys entered the meeting side by side — a sign of their closeness on the climate issue. gentlemen, will you commit to phasing out fossilfuels here in the uae? i think you're going to hear a good discussion in the next few days. so, no public commitments today.

the us vice president said america understands the challenge. the urgency of this moment is clear. the clock is no longerjust ticking. it is banging. we need transformative change and exponential impact. - and it sounds like the president of these talks has also got the memo. the world can break down if we don't rapidly transition to zero—carbon alternatives. these are facts we must come to terms with. so, does that mean the uae believes the world can finally agree to phase out the use of unabated fossil fuels? that's when you capture the c02 to stop it causing climate change. here's what the head of the un body that runs these talks had to say. we have to try and it's up to parties. that is un speak for only the countries of the world can make that call.

but there are some tantalising hints here in dubai that we could be gearing up for a really consequential decision at cop28. justin rowlatt, bbc news, dubai. going back to paris, just before we go on the breaking news. as you can see, flashing lights, ambulance, fire brigade by the eiffel tower where one person has died and another injured in an attack on a street in the area, according to france's interior minister. he posted on the social media platform x that an assailant has been apprehended by police. but one person has died and another has been injured. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there.

although much of the country today has been very cold but dry with a bit of sunshine, some 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 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.

this is bbc news, the headlines. as israel's renewed bombardment of gaza continues, the un's children's agency has described the dropping of leaflets telling palestinians to go to safe areas as cynical. in what will be a blow for the families of the israeli hostages, the political wing of hamas has said there will be no more exchanges until a permanent ceasefire is in place. one person has died and another has been injured in a knife attack on the street in central paris. at the united nation climate summit, at least 116 nations have committed to tripling renewable energy capacity. it is not clear whether that commitment will remain voluntary. europe breezes for winter chaos as heavy snow sweeps across western europe.

let's go to paris on that breaking news in the last hour. one person has died and another has been injured in an attack on the street injured in an attack on the street in central paris. as you can see, it is very close to a metro station just by the eiffel tower. it has been cordoned off. the police, fire brigade and other emergency services are there. we found this out by social media. the french interior minister is expected at the scene in the next hour or so. he has said that an assailant attacked passers—by in that area, and the attacker has been arrested and the injured person treated by emergency services. he has asked people to avoid the area. this happened in the last couple of hours. we know that

some police forces have spoken to local media about that. very close to the eiffel tower. just behind back metro bridge is the eiffel tower. you can't quite see it right now because there is a tree on the way back it is a very central area of paris and that happened in the last hour, one person has died and another injured in an attack on a street in central paris. we can have a look at the sports now, with lizzie greenwood—hughes. thanks, we're starting with football and the draw for next summer's euros which took place today and scotland will open the tournament against hosts germany onjune14th in munich. scotland were drawn in group a with germany, hungary and switzerland. defending champions italy are up against three—time winners spain, croatia and albania in group b. england have what looks like a favourable draw in group c with slovenia, denmark and serbia who they play first.

and if wales qualify via the play— offs they'll face the netherlands, austria and france in group d. so an exciting tournament to come with the final on 14th july in berlin and england manager gareth southgate is clearly looking forward to it. we are hugely excited to be part of the tournament. we know the expectation at home. we have developed as a team, we are getting used to these big games and we are getting ready for that expectation. we hope we can give our supporters some more brilliant nights, as i think we have in the last few tournaments. next to 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 odegaard, the end of the match was tense at the emirates when wolves' matteus cunha scored in the 86th minute. i'm really happy with the way

the team performed. we were really dominant, a real threat going forward, super aggressive defensively. we generated a lot, conceded almost nothing and at the end, it should have been much bigger scoreline but when you make a mistake and they take the chance, in the premier league, it is game on and the last few minutes were different than it should have been. 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 three more in the second half. burnley move up a place to 19th while sheffield united drop to bottom of the table. everton would have been bottom today with their points deduction but they managed an important win at nottingham forest. dwight mcneil scored the only goal of the game, his first of the season as everton

hung on for the vital three points at the city ground. they're now up a place in third from bottom. very pleased, mentality has been excellent and has been for a long time. we are beginning to build a winning edge of a site. three away wins on the bounce in the premier league, which isn't easy. they have made this a tough place to come to so very pleased for the players and obviously out of our hands, but it is a restart again, a step in the right direction but plenty of more steps to go. brentford are up to tenth at the expense of luton town who they beat at 3—1 at home. and in the late kick—off, newcastle have gone a goal up. 55 minutes on the clock, anthony gordon with the goal, and both of those sides looking to close in on the top floor of the table. —— top

four. snooker and ronnie o'sullivan is through to the final of the uk championship in york — 30 years since his first final there. he beat iran's hussein vafaei 6—2 in the semi's but it might not have been as straightforward — if the iranian hadn't missed an easy black that would've pulled the score back to 4—3. but o'sullivan then showed why he's the world number one, bringing the last red into play, to go on and take that frame and eventually clinch the match. he'll play either fellow englishmanjudd trump or china's ding junhui in sunday's final. judd trump is currently three frames to two up although ding is ahead in that frame. trump leading 3—2. much more on the website, but that is it from me for 110w. parts of europe also been hit by heavy snow. germany, austria, the czech republic

and the uk have all been affected. our reporter nicky schiller has more on this. southern germany has been one of the worst—hit areas across europe, with a0 centimetres falling overnight, friday into saturday. this is from the city of munich where residents were advised to stay at home for their own safety. at the airport, 700 flights were hit with cancellations and long delays for passengers, some resorting to walking to the airport. across the city, most buses, trams and a lot of train services were not running. the bayern munich game against union berlin was called off. although the snow, as you can see, did give the children a chance neighbouring austria has been hit by heavy snowfalls. firefighters were brought into clear fallen trees. there was a landslide in one city which blocked a bridge, trapping nearly 100 people in a nightclub for several hours. the authorities have also warned the risk of avalanches is high in the western part of the country. this was the scene in the czech

republic where there was a 20 kilometre—long trafficjam that built up after a truck came off the motorway in the freezing conditions. also there were some power cuts in some areas and there were warnings of up to 25 centimetres of snow on saturday, with more expected on sunday. here in the uk, a fresh yellow weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for large parts of the country. it includes the midlands, yorkshire and also northern and central wales. people in the southern lake district were urged to earn the travel if necessary. a number of local authorities have activated a scheme that will provide emergency accommodation for people treating —— sleeping on the streets. the freezing conditions are set to continue across the weekend. we can

return to the climate conference in dubai now. the labour leader sir kier starmer is among those attending. earlier my colleague raijini vaidnijathan spoke to him and asked what he hoped to achieve by being there. 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 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 a general election, until 2027, and i'm hearing 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 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 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 you of this sticking plaster politics and not really fixing anything, i want a government that is mission—driven. are 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." sir keir starmer. here in the uk, an 84—year—old man was killed when a house in edinburgh exploded. two other people 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, see the white window?

yeah, the back window was blown in. and the next one. arthur mckenna had to leave his home along with neighbours. it was scary. scary. so unexpected, you know, and the whole of baberton. and since think the structural damages the 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 5a were taken to hospital. many people living nearby say they did what they could to help. the i went outside and then my garage door had blown halfway open, i 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. 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 say that there are no suspicious circumstances and the gas distribution company sgn. katie hunter, bbc news, edinburgh. 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 this 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 and then it started to rain, 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 that there's not going to be enough room. the rail union aslef said it is ratcheting up the pressure on rail companies by changing tactics in this long—running dispute. an overtime ban is now in place until saturday. that means drivers won't accept any extra shifts above their usual rotas, so we can expect some delays and cancellations, though trains will be running. but drivers at different companies will be going on strike on different days for 2h hours at a time every day now until next friday apart from on monday. on those days you can expect a much more limited service,

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 a0 to 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 people who take a car in one location and return it somewhere else. bars, pubs and restaurants are starting on 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 christmas office parties, lots of christmas lunches that were booked and they're now being postponed and overall the feelings of rolling strikes 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 union 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 voted to continue industrial action 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. our political correspondent shelley phelps has more. we are getting an idea 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 mentioned 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 shelley phelps, our

political correspondent. the face of the women's rights movements in the us during the 1970s now 89 years old, steinem 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 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, is 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 0k. then 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 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 even when it is suppressing evidence of bias, it still is silencing people. we will just take you we willjust take you to paris now are the interior minister is speaking. some breaking news that one person has been killed and two others injured in a knife attack in central paris. it was previously thought there was one person injured, there are two injured. that is near the eiffel tower in central paris. one person has been killed in a knife and hammer attack. more on our website. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there.

there really are some treacherous traveling conditions around as we head into sunday morning. a major incident was declared in cumbria. there's been over a foot of snow falling in some places and we've got a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow pushing eastwards across other parts of england and wales at the moment, leading to some icy conditions given how cold it's been. and some areas will see some snow as well, particularly here across england and wales, 1 to 3 centimetres, but 5 to 10 centimetres over the hills of wales and into the peak district. further north, scotland and northern ireland, clearer skies, a bit of mist and fog, and it will be a really cold and frosty start, but not quite so cold by the morning across southern areas where we've got the rain and wintry moves away from easternmost parts of england early in the morning. and then england and wales look quite cloudy. some further rain coming into the southern areas, a risk of some snow over the welsh hills. further north, we'll have some sunny spells for scotland

and northern ireland. a few showers coming onto some eastern coasts. some parts of scotland remain below freezing all day, probably cumbria as well. but further south it is getting a little bit mild at eight degrees, perhaps double figures in the far southwest. heading into monday this area of low pressure will bring more wet weather and some windy weather as well, particularly for england and wales. most of it is going to be rain, but there's the threat of some more snow, particularly over the hills of wales and also into the pennines too. but we'll also find as the wind picks up, more wintry showers coming into eastern scotland. much of northern ireland likely to be dry with some sunshine. temperatures are slowly creeping up a little bit, five, six degrees widely for england and wales and also for northern ireland. still cold over much of scotland. now that area of low pressure is going to hang around for a while. it does slowly start to pull away as we head into tuesday. still some windy conditions, though, around some of these north sea coasts. and we still have some rain. it looks like it will be mostly rain. and as that pulls away, we'll see more sunshine arriving during the second half of the day,

signalling a cold night probably on tuesday night. and for many parts of scotland, those temperatures onlyjust getting above freezing, whereas further south, those temperatures are at sixes and sevens. now, as we head further on into the week, we are going to find those temperatures rising as it turns wetter and also it turns windier. goodbye.
