the us defence secretary warns israel it risks driving civilians into the arms of the enemy. i'm maryam moshiri in london. one person is killed and two injured in a knife and hammer neil kinnock dies at the age of 79. also... one person is killed and two injured in a knife and hammer attack in central paris. and in a first for the un climate summit, world leaders discuss the impact of climate change on health. i'm anna foster injerusalem. as israel intensifies its military operations in the south of the gaza strip, hamas officials say more than 700 palestinians have been killed in the past 2a hours.

that number comes from the hamas media office. hamas is considered a terrorist organisation by the uk and us governments. this is live outside al nasser hospital in khan younis. an area that has been under frequent assault. further south in the strip, near rafah, at least seven palestinians were killed in an israeli attack in the early hours of sunday. israel says hamas fighters are hiding in the south. the scenes both inside and outside al nasser hospital are traumatic. these pictures are from reuters news agency and were shot today. children are among those being driven to the hospital, carried inside by family and friends.

for many, the journey to hospital was too late. we are keeping an eye on what is happening further north. this is live looking at the israel—gaza border. it's a misty day but you can see the smoke rising from those repeated strikes as the fighting renewed on friday morning after seven days of ceasefire. israel is coming at the top pressure from figures in the biden administration. the defence secretary, lloyd austin has said israel driving the civilian population into the arms of the enemy — would be a strategic defeat. also today, the international criminal court prosecutor, karim khan has wrapped up a visit to israel and the west bank. as well as calling for the release of hostages, he said civilians in gaza must be given access to food, water and medical supplies without delay. mr khan said international law did

not allow for doubt on the matter. he said the killings and abductions represented some of the most serious international crimes and had �*shocked the conscience of humanity'. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega begins our coverage. in khan younis, this was a city the palestinians considered safe. now it's a target for israel's bombs. at nasser hospital, chaos. doctors unable to save everyone. after pounding northern gaza, the israeli military is turning its focus to the south. this is where israel believes the hamas leadership is hiding. residents have been told to evacuate. the situation in khan younis is right now is beyond catastrophic. we're being told here's a map, you need to look out for your numbers somehow and just leave. and it's a very, very cynical approach by the israeli military

because they know that people will not all be able to leave. from israel's main ally, the united states, a clear message: more needs to be done for the population of gaza. you see 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. in central gaza, prayers for more victims of this war. the death toll is rising fast, but israel says it's working hard to protect civilians. we're making a maximum effort. i said before, i used the word i "unprecedented" to try to keep civilians out of harm's way, i to avoid them getting caught up in the crossfire. that is not our goal. that's why we've actually sent out maps a few days ago - which designated the safer areas for people to go to. _ talks between israel and hamas have collapsed.

hamas says no more hostages will be freed until there's a permanent ceasefire. the families of the captives still hope for a deal for them to come home. in gaza, people still hope the guns will once again fall silent. let's discuss that more with sir richard dalton, former british ambassador to both iran and libya. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. let's talk about some of the international response to the renewed military operation in gaza. we had the us in the last few days saying the icc chief prosecutor publicly saying israel needs to follow international humanitarian law. to think they are saying this explicitly because they have concerns about what is happening at the moment?—

the moment? absolutely and that concern has _ the moment? absolutely and that concern has been _ the moment? absolutely and that concern has been clear— the moment? absolutely and that concern has been clear since - the moment? absolutely and that concern has been clear since the i concern has been clear since the first troops entered gaza and indeed before that under the weight of the israeli bombardment. this is savagery, butchery by israel directed at civilian populations as well as at alleged military operations. this must stop through a ceasefire as has been called for by so many people. along. the question of accountability in international law is live and will take a long time to gather the necessary evidence but this matter of using overwhelming force way beyond the necessity of self defence must be examined at the right time. israel are pointing _ examined at the right time. israel are pointing to — examined at the right time. israel are pointing to things _ examined at the right time. israel

are pointing to things like - examined at the right time. israel are pointing to things like this - examined at the right time. israel are pointing to things like this new map they have produced which shows civilians in gaza where they can move to safer areas. do you think they are addressing or trying to address those issues? they say they are trying to combine it with stated promised amy by netanyahu of removing hamas in gaza altogether. they are not making the maximum effort as they allege, they are making minimal effort. they are doing what they intended to do with one or two tiny concessions to the united states knowing those concessions will have virtually no effect on reducing the butchers bill for the destruction of civilian infrastructure and buildings and life, women and children. indeed, it is good to see the americans at last saying that israel risks or is

already creating a strategic defeat while able to move a little way towards a tactical victory. that strategic defeat has been evident in other israeli campaigns in the middle east where they have used overwhelming force and it has never worked. it won't work again in israel. when people are in distress, which is now being inflicted on the people of gaza, naturally they turn to religion in the same way that we had missed netanyahu alludes to, biblicaljustification had missed netanyahu alludes to, biblical justification for slaughter of women and children. that is what happens. that is human nature. the idea of resistance and religiously justifying resistance is going to be passed down to subsequent

generations of radical list extremists and fighters within the palestinian community. you extremists and fighters within the palestinian community.— extremists and fighters within the palestinian community. you have a stron: palestinian community. you have a strong history _ palestinian community. you have a strong history and _ palestinian community. you have a strong history and background - palestinian community. you have a strong history and background in i strong history and background in this region. we saw a seven day ceasefire agreement but that seems to have broken down irretrievably for now. what is your assessment of what might happen next? it’s for now. what is your assessment of what might happen next?— what might happen next? it's clear that united states _ what might happen next? it's clear that united states and _ what might happen next? it's clear that united states and qatar- what might happen next? it's clear that united states and qatar and i that united states and qatar and other regional countries are trying to re—establish those links and find a further base for a pause in the fighting which is all we had. what should happen is the united states should happen is the united states should withdraw its protection from israel that it shows by a consistent endorsement and resupply with weapons of this israeli campaign, it

protects israel from criticism or action to promote a ceasefire in the un security council and for the sake of humanity and claimed ideals, the united states must swing round to calling a halt to this carnage. unfortunately, china, russia, who have been calling for a ceasefire, have been calling for a ceasefire, have no influence. the europeans and uk have been saying the same things about taking care with civilian lives but that has been meaningless in the eyes and ears of the israeli state. it's only the united states putting its bilateral leg and ship with israel on its claimed ideals on human rights, it is only that shift which could help change minds in the

israeli government and there is no sign whatsoever of that happening. that is the tragedy of the palestinians.— that is the tragedy of the palestinians. ., ,, , ., ., ., palestinians. thank you for “oining us here on bbc* palestinians. thank you for “oining us here on bbc news. h palestinians. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. coverage i us here on bbc news. coverage continues but back to london. baroness glenys kinnock of holyhead, a former minister, mep and wife of ex—labour leader lord kinnock, has died. in a statement, her family says she died peacefully in her sleep with her husband of 56 years beside her. baroness kinnock of holyhead had also served as a minister in the house of lords under the last labour government. with more on this our political reporter tony bonsignore. tony, for those who may not know who the baroness was in life, tell us more about what she achieved in her

minister under gordon brown until labour lost the election in 2010, and then opposition spokesman for three years after that. a very full life, a full political life and aside from that, she was a teacher, aside from that, she was a teacher, a committed teacher, something she remained interested in her whole life. �* ~ ., , remained interested in her whole life. ~ ., , life. and we know she battled alzheimer's — life. and we know she battled alzheimer's disease. - life. and we know she battled alzheimer's disease. she - life. and we know she battled alzheimer's disease. she was| alzheimer's disease. she was diagnosed — alzheimer's disease. she was diagnosed with _ alzheimer's disease. she was diagnosed with alzheimer's i alzheimer's disease. she was| diagnosed with alzheimer's in alzheimer's disease. she was - diagnosed with alzheimer's in 2017 and her husband neil had spoken movingly about the challenges that posed. it was not the way i'm sure any of them would have wanted, such any of them would have wanted, such an active life, a political life to end. she suffered from alzheimer's for the last six years of her life. it's notjust her husband who survives her, she has two children,

another prominent member of the current labour party, a frontbencher. as i say, those of us of this is an age know she was such a prominent politicalfigure, both as the wife and partner of the labour leader but also within her own right. she was an active politician for nearly 20 years until just around 16 or 17 years ago. i remember her well. thank you very much. to france now where one person has been killed and two others, including a british man, have been injured, in a knife and hammer attack in central paris. the french interior minister gerard darmanin said the attacker targeted tourists around quai de grenelle — which is close to the eiffel tower. the man who was killed was german. authorities in berlin described his death as an �*abominable crime'. our paris correspondent hugh schofield has more on the status of the injured

condition is fine. and then he was overcome by police who used a taser and was taken into custody where he is now. he told police he was doing this, and this is significant, because of what is happening in gaza. he was known to have a radical past and was imprisoned before planning a terrorist attack and was tipped into doing what he did yesterday because he couldn't tolerate the sight of muslim deaths in gaza. ., ., , , , ., in gaza. how troubling is this for french security _ in gaza. how troubling is this for french security services? - in gaza. how troubling is this for french security services? it's - in gaza. how troubling is this for french security services? it's a l in gaza. how troubling is this for i french security services? it's a big wor . french security services? it's a big worry- there _ french security services? it's a big worry. there have _ french security services? it's a big worry. there have been _ french security services? it's a big worry. there have been warnings. french security services? it's a big l worry. there have been warnings for weeks now that times are dangerous, thatis weeks now that times are dangerous, that is exactly the kind of attack which was possible and made more likely by what is happening in gaza. the french are worried perennially because there are crises in the middle east like this with a severe risk of spill—over because this is the country with the biggest muslim

and jewish population in europe and authorities are at pains to make sure. it's happened once already, the killing of a teacher back at the beginning in october, and now this. in both cases it's fair to draw a link with what has happened in gaza because both cases the perpetrators have been young men who have radicalised themselves at home on the internet and moved to do what they did by images, images they had been watching online. bier? they did by images, images they had been watching online.— at least four people have been killed and fifty wounded in a bomb attack on a mass at a catholic church in the philippines on sunday. it happened in the country's largest muslim city of marawi. it's thought it could be in retailation for a government crackdown on islamist militant groups in recent days, as simon jones reports. shouting members of the congregation

help carry the wounded to safety. the explosion took place in a university hall where people had gathered for sunday mass. you can see smoke in the air. these pictures from inside show chairs strewn across the floor by the force of the blast. the police say they have recovered fragments of a mortar bomb. many worshippers were taken to hospital in a state of shock. translation: we - attended mass at 7am. then, during the first reading, there was a sudden explosion. it was really sudden and everyone ran. when i looked behind me, people were lying on the floor. the president described the attack as "senseless and heinous". he blamed what he called foreign terrorists. the authorities believe it may have been carried out in retaliation for the killing of 12 suspected members of an islamist militant group by the military on friday. the public is being urged to remain calm. our focus now, in the face of this incident in marawi, will be to not only address the security dimension but, also, the wellness dimension of the community. the university where the attack took place has called

in additional security staff. all classes have been suspended. the authorities have vowed to bring the perpetrators of what they're calling this "ruthless act" to justice. simon jones, bbc news. let's look at dubai now, and the latest from the united nations climate summit — cop28. for the first time, the summit is focussing on health. experts say global warming is already having a "profound effect" on global health. eleni myrivili is global chief heat officer to un habitat and the arsht rock resilience center. thank you forjoining us. it's a key day, health bay at cop28. some might say, why has it taken this long for

there's a big discussion going on about children because they are a strong vulnerable community that we have to focus on. they can really lose their capacity to call themselves much faster than older people, than adults. and we have to focus on the elderly to. for the first time, discussions are taking place and we are hoping we will have results at the end of the day today. thank you. heavy snowfall caused huge disruption and challenging conditions on the road in the uk. people are urged to stay away from cumbria. a yellow weather warning has been issued across the midlands,

northern england and wales. here's louisa pilbeam. the north—west of england has seen up to 15 centimetres of snow in the last 24 hours. in kendal, cars came to a standstill. on the motorway near tebay, drivers were stuck for hours. in gracemere, more people were stranded in their vehicles. and in ambleside, these scenes meant drivers were told to leave their cars and make their way to an emergency refuge. paul smith was one of those stuck there for hours. the snowjust came down and as you can see now, the road all the way down is still blocked. we're still about a mile and a half from ambleside and it's just been, like, literally moving ten yards, stopping again. this was ant brett's view from his car on the a595 in cumbria on his way to a family wedding. he said he was stuck for 19 hours without food or water or any help from emergency services. cumbria police and the area's fire and rescue service urged people not to take to the roads.

communities have been opening local centres for people to stay. many of our communities have got that cumbria spirit where they will crack open hotels and bed and breakfasts and help people out there who are tourists or even just visiting just for the day or even on holiday. with the snow, ice and cold disrupting transport, there is also an amber cold health alert issued by the uk health security agency that remains in place forfive regions in england, including the north west. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. today has been a little bit quieter compared to yesterday afternoon and through the overnight period

where we saw substantial amounts of snow spread across parts of england and wales, leading to some disruption. the rest of this afternoon, it does stay cold, maybe not quite as cold as the last few days for england and wales. and we'll see further rain moving up from the south with some sleetiness over the higher ground. so that rain coming and going for the rest of the afternoon through the evening. but we'll start to see some more substantial heavy rain pushing up from the south as we move through tonight. and as that bumps into the colder air lying across the northern half of the uk, we'll start to see some snow with the higher ground of wales into northern england. so less cold across southern areas through tonight, but another cold one to come with the widespread frost and some ice to watch out for across scotland, far north of england, northern ireland. now for the monday morning commute, we could see some tricky conditions with this rain likely to see some snow over the high ground of the welsh hills, the peak district, the pennines, even some wet snow down to lower levels. so just watch out for that could cause some disruption for most though across england and wales, it's going to be a cloudy morning

and afternoon with outbreaks of rain coming and going. that rain pushing its way northwards. wintry showers feeding into eastern scotland. these could give some accumulations at times. but the best of the sunshine, western scotland, parts of northern ireland, just the odd shower here and then quite breezy, feeling chilly. even though the temperature is a little bit higher, you factor in the wind, it will feel pretty cold and raw wherever you are. that area of low pressure starts to pull out into the near continent during monday night. so for tuesday, it's more eastern parts of the country affected by this low pressure system with north, north—easterly winds, which will be quite a feature, making it feel really cold down the east coast of england. a few wintry showers. a few wintry showers in northern eastern scotland. otherwise, further north and west that you are under a ridge of high pressure, the calmer it will be. blue skies, some sunshine and the winds a little bit lighter. but it will be a chilly day wherever you are on tuesday, 2 to 7 degrees, feeling better in the west with some sunshine. wednesday, another cold day to come. a quiet day, but then notice beyond wednesday, thursday, friday, it's looking much milder,

but low pressure taking charge. so it will be unsettled. so we do start the new week off on a cold note. by midweek it starts to turn milder. but with that comes the wet and windy weather at times.
