israel pulls its negotiators out of talks with hamas as it bombards southern gaza with airstrikes. aid agencies have sounded the alarm. french police confirm the suspect in a fatal attack was on the security services watch list. more than 110 nations pledge to triple the world's capacity to produce renewable energy by the end of the decade. and gloria steinem sits down with the bbc to discuss how feminism has changed over the decades. i'm helena humphrey, good to have you with us. a german tourist has been killed and two people injured after an attack near the eiffel tower, in central paris. the french interior minister gave an update a short time ago. gerald darmanin said the suspect was targeting tourists and allegedly told police he was upset by the situation in gaza.

he has now been arrested. the minster also said the man was known to authorities in france for trying to stage another attack in 2016. french anti—terror prosecutors say they will be taking over the investigation. fierce fighting has resumed in gaza after the collapse of a temporary ceasefire between israel and hamas. israel has ramped up air strikes on gaza, telling residents to evacuate to other areas — but aid groups say nowhere is safe. prime minister benjamin netanyahu warned the war is far from over. translation: we will. continue the war until we achieve all its goals which is impossible

without the ground operation. it was necessary to bring the results until now and it is necessary to bring the results moving forward. israel's been carrying out intense air strikes on khan younis in southern gaza. israel says hamas leaders are in the city, but it's also where hundreds of thousands of palestinians have been sheltering after being told to flee from the north. residents are describing it as some of the heaviest bombing of the war yet. people in the eastern areas of the city have been told to evacuate further south — khan younis was one of the places they were told to flee to in the earlier stages of the war. hospitals there are operating with limited resources after weeks of fighting. uncief spokesmanjames elder is in khan younis. iam in i am in khan younis not far from a hospital. densely populated. 1.8 million people are now in this area. sorry... another explosion. i am

are now in this area. sorry... another explosion. iam not are now in this area. sorry... another explosion. i am not far from the sea. so have no military expertise but i am understanding that would be artillery from the navy and the ones that shake the window or even glass breaking with these things and shattering and does horrible things to a child's body so there is a base and you go on convoys to the north or delivering aid here or wherever we can possibly get aid to. i know the north is unreachable at the moment. people are unutterably terrified. you could ask a question in english from a lot of people which is will you and the war, are you here to end the war? and by answer, my brain is, no, your life is being decided elsewhere. we are simply here to stem the bleeding. the us secretary of defence lloyd austin has weighed in —

warning israel that it should be shielding civilians. you see, in this kind of a fight, the centre of gravity is the civilian population. and if you drive them into the arms of the enemy, you replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat. so i have repeatedly made clear to israel's leaders that protecting palestinian civilians in gaza is both a moral responsibility and a strategic imperative. but it's unclear if israel will heed that warning. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson has this report. 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. explosion residents say the bombing of khan younis is the heaviest since the conflict began. this city where senior hamas

leaders are said to be hiding. israel has told people to move to shelters further south. nader abu warda and his three children 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. yarden gonen's sister romi is still there. 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 central tel aviv. the strain of the last two days colouring the mood. the star speaker, yelena. released by hamas but forced to leave her son behind. translation: i'm happy and excited to stand - here in front of you. i came to say thank you because without you, i wouldn't be here. and now we had to go back and get my sasha. the stories of hostages and their families are starting to diverge. after a week in which more than 100 women and children were released, there is now an effort to keep up pressure on the government not to leave anyone behind. negotiations to release more hostages seem to have stalled. some here 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. these are the live pioctures of gaza right now — where it's just after 2 o'clock in the morning. we have seen some flashes in the sky, of course we cannot say exactly what that is but military activity appears to be continuing. those israeli air strikes on the south of gaza are making it difficult for civilians to protect himself —— themselves. i discussed that with our diplomatic correspondent paul adams who's in jerusalem. i want to start with the leaflets that we know israel has been air dropping over the gaza strip as its renewed its bombardment. do people receiving them understand where to go, where safe areas are? leaflets in general have caused confusion

and uncertainty in the past. what we are seeing at the moment is a slightly new iteration of this policy with this a detailed map of the gaza strip broken down into numbered grid squares. the idea of being now that, not that israel will direct people towards a safe areas, but they will direct people away from unsafe areas. they have areas of shaded, on the maps dropped, on where israel is planning to conduct military operation and is urging people to leave those areas. it's a different approach and one has to assume that from day those unsafe areas will change. from day—to—day those unsafe areas will change. as the israeli military priorities shift and change. so we won't know for a few days, perhaps, whether the new strategy is working any better than the old which was rather a more blunt form of warning for people in whole areas to move south or to get out of the way.

this is more precise but we don't know if it's more effective. another thing worth bearing in mind is that even outside that defined area, israel reserves the right to conduct what it calls, attacks on high—value targets. those can be as palestinians have found to their cost , anywhere and anytime. i also want to speak about the negotiations as well which had been under way in qatar the israeli prime minister, netanyahu saying they are pulling their team from qatar. what does this mean for the potential of a further temporary truce and also, the question when it comes to the hostages who still remain inside of gaza? at the moment it means there are no negotiations and therefore, no prospect of any immediate resumption of that truce. the israelis pulled their delegation out, netanyahu speaking on television tonight said that the only military force had secured the release of 100 or so hostages

who were released over the past week and that is what israel is about to do again in the gaza strip. hamas said there would be no further releases of any hostages until there was a complete cease—fire. at the moment you see the two sides of very, very far apart on this. whether the very negotiators who have been involved in trying to get the cease—fire up and running can pull it off again, i don't think so. not in the short term. it feels at the moment as if israel is determined to pursue military pressure for the time being. on that point with regards to continuing that military pressure. that was something that netanyahu touched on in that press conference that he was giving essentially that aim to eradicate hamas continues. ijust wonder, weeks into this

conflict now, do a clear idea as to what the idf has been able to achieve in pursuing that aim? they said that even before the cease—fire one week ago they were making significant progress in the northern part of the gaza strip. they had defeated a number of the hamas fighting battalions, they still have work they want to do there. so we are seeing some pretty intense street fighting and parts of gaza city. that is likely to continue for some time until they feel they have the whole of the northern area under their control. then attention in terms of ground forces, will probably turn towards the south. we are already seeing probably some ground operations in the south but in terms of a major push into the south that may be some time away. then israel will essentially try to achieve the same thing which is go after hamas infrastructure, tunnels, command and control centres, searching for hamas leaders and obviously continuing the search for hostages. all of that presents the prospect of a military conflict that has got weeks,

probably months, still to run. with some reporting suggesting that basically we'll be seeing military action of one form or another throughout the coming year. thank you for your reporting, as ever, paul adams. venezeulans are voting in a referendum over whether the coutnry should create its own state in the disputed region with neighbouring guyana. it's a move denouced by guyana as a step towards annexation, raising concerns in the region of a possible military conflict. voters will be expected to say whether they agree with creating a new state in thejungled region, and providing its population with venezeuelan citizenship. the region itself has long been the subject of a terriorital claim by venezuela — but the leftist government under nicholas maduro has taken heightened interest in it after oil deposits were discovered offshore in 2015 — which has boosted guyana's economy.

although the vote isn't binding, the referendum is being seen as possible litmus test for maduro, ahead of next year's presidential election. turning now to the un climate summit in dubai, where leaders have made more promises to combat climate change. while the day prior focused on food production's contribution to global warming, the focus of the most recent talks shifted to renewable energy. around 100 countries promised to triple world renewable energy use by 2030. additionally, 50 oil and gas companies — including saudi giant aramco — pledged to stop adding to planet—warming gases by 2050. that pledge however only covers emissions from production, not the burning of fossilfuels. critics say the promise would not meaningfully tackle climate change. but countries pledging to triple renewable energy at the cop28 summit said it would help remove fossilfuels from the world's energy system by 2050 at the latest. the bbc�*s climate editorjustin rowlatt has more from dubai.

the pope couldn't make it to dubai — his doctor forbade 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 fossil fuels 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. l 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. 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. well — the bbc has learned that the country hosting

the cop28 climate talks is massively ramping up its own oil production. the united arab emirates' state oil firm adnoc may drill 42% more by 2030, according to analysts considered the international gold standard in oil market intelligence. here's our business reporter david waddell. here is the cop president. he is also the president of adnoc thatis is also the president of adnoc that is the abu dhabi national oil company. this appointment to host this climate summit has been controversial. gratitude broke the climate campaigner called to completely reduced beck —— ridiculous. and lords to be out of one of the key architects of the 2015 paris agreement has also defended his appointment saying he and his team are uniquely placed to persuade the fossilfuel persuade the fossil fuel industry to move towards a green future. he secured a key agreement already. countries coming into the porch $20 million for areas separate the effects of global warming. he has called that a unique unprecedented achievement. he's

also encourage companies to commit to deeper cuts towards admissions to triple renewable power and double energy efficiency. meanwhile adnoc is on a path to becoming the broke number two oil producer, second only to saudi aramco. right now number 12 it would not feature on a graph like this but we are looking for a total oil production between now and 2015. foradnoc production between now and 2015. for adnoc alone it is 35.9 billion barrels of oil. what is a barrel? it is one of these. any one of these would be enough to refuel a typical compact car about three times a day. the firm said it was widely accepted that oil and gas production would continue for decades to come. but it was making its activities more climate friendly and expanding into renewable energies. the emissions associated with adnoc positive oil production would amount to 14.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by the year 2015. that is more than the annual emissions of china and the worlds largest emitter. the international energy agency has said that adnoc�*s expansion is

simply incompatible with the paris agreement objectives. the uk ministry of defence says a british soldier has been killed while off duty in kenya. 32—year—old major kevin mccool was on a motorcycle trip off base when he was attacked. laura trant has more. major kevin mccool commission from sanderson 2014 and had been deployed to europe middle east the falklands and africa. described by the ministry of defence as at his very best when the conditions were at their very worst. it is believed that he was attacked when he was off duty, not on the army base in kenya. the ministry of defence says that his next of kin have been informed but they will not be releasing any more detail about exactly what took place. however, they have described is

operational record as a glittering one. they have also said he aced many of the militaries hardest courses and set his fitness was legendary. major kevin mccool�*s commanding officer said he had a compelling character and he had a deep humility which displayed 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 is clearfrom the grant shapps, who said it is clear from the tributes of those who knew him that major kevin mccool was an exceptional person, an exceptional soldier who was loved and respected in equal measure. major kevin mccool has been described as a family man leaving behind his parents and his five siblings. in the philippines — evacuations are under way after a strong earthquake struck the southern region of mindanao. the major quake triggered tsunami warnings across the country — as well as injapan — though a us agency said the risk of a tsunami had passed. still — evacuations were continuing in the philippines, where there were no initial reports of significant

damage or casualties despite continuing aftershocks. people across the country were seen rushing out of buildings and standng in open areas after the powerful tremor. witnesses said the earthquake lasted for about four minutes. the us geological survey measured it at magnitude 7.6. the face of the women's rights movements in the us during the 1970s and an icon of feminism, gloria steinem has spent the last 50 years focusing her efforts on advancing women's political participation and reproductive rights. now at 89—years—old, steinem has sat down with bbc 100 women to discuss how feminism has changed over the decades, the impact of cancel culture, and what the future might look like for women's rights around the world.

you and i have grown up in some form of patriarchy that says that even in the family, women are more responsible for taking care of infants and small children than men are. even though men are parents, too. so that's where a lack of democracy begins. and that's the beginning of change that we all can make. we shouldn't feel helpless just because we're not changing something globally. the idea of domination and a lack of democracy begins, 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 than national policies are. what kind of change you wish to see that you think hasn't been achieved and you hope to see accomplished in your lifetime? well, the most obvious and simplest is that we can determine the fate of our own physical selves, so we can decide whether and when to have children, not to have children.

whatever it is about our physical selves, because that's where our difficulty begins, because we happen to have wombs and the desire to control wombs is very central to authoritarian systems. so, you know, it's clear that controlling reproduction is crucial. yet when we talk about politics, we don't usually start there clearly because we have a womb and men don't. the desire to control the womb is often the first or most lethal or most impactful kind of effort. another thing that nowadays everybody�*s talking about is cancel culture. you know, there is this fear of speaking up, especially

among the younger generation. what do you think of that? do you actually think that this is compromising the freedom of speech of the younger generation? i don't feel it myself, but i resent it on behalf of anybody who does feel it, because free speech is crucial to any democracy. we should not submit to cancel culture. it's social pressure as censorship, and it's definitely not a good thing. even when it is suppressing evidence of bias, it still is silencing people. we willjust take you to paris now are the interior officials in the northern italian city of bologna have begun constructing a barrier around a mediaeval tower because of fears it might collapse. the garisenda tower leans just as much as its famous counterpart in pisa — but recent inspections have found changes in the direction of its tilt.

metal containers and wire mesh around the building are supposed to catch possible falling debris. the city council estimates that the barrier alone will cost more than four million dollars and has begun a crowdfunding campaign to fund restoration work. from bologna in the north, to sicily in the south, where mount etna has erupted again. the red hot lava spewed down its slopes, lighting up the night sky on the island of sicily. etna is europe's tallest and most active volcano. just before we go — an update on a developing story — the french prime minister says the country will �*not give in to terrorism' after a german tourist was killed and two people injured after an attack near the eiffel tower, in central paris. there are live pictures of the scene more on that story at the top of the hour. join us then on bbc news.

hello there. there really are some treacherous travelling 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 eastern most 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 south—west. 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, though, for 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.

gloria steinem is a name that's become almost synonymous with feminism. she was the face of the women's rights movements in the us during the 1970s, focusing her efforts on advancing women's political participation and reproductive rights. her activism followed her career in journalism, which started here in new york. she was the co—founder of ms magazine, one of the first us publications to focus on women's issues beyond the perils of housekeeping. now, at 89 years old, she's in a unique position to reflect on how far feminism has come and where it has gone wrong. gloria steinem sat down with bbc 100 women to discuss how feminism has changed in the past 50 years, cancel culture, and what the future might look
