one person is killed in a knife and hammer attack in central paris. anti—terror police says the suspect had pledged himself to the islamic state group. weather warnings for snow and ice are in place across parts of the uk, after heavy snowfall caused major disruption. the israel defense forces have announced the beginning of a new ground operation in southern gaza, just north of the city of khan younis. israel's chief of general staff, lieutenant general herzi halevi, told troops that the operations in the south would be conducted �*with no less strength' than in the north. israel continued its renewed bombardment of gaza for a third day, having told more palestinians to leave areas in and around khan younis immediately.

the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says more than 15 and a half thousand people have now been killed there since the start of the conflict between israel and hamas, which is considered a terrorist organisation by the uk government. this is the scene live outside al nasser hospital in khan younis. an area that has been under frequent assault. the scenes both inside and ouside the hospital are traumatic. these pictures 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. a senior adviser to the israeli prime minister has insisted israel is doing all it can to minimise the number of civilian deaths in gaza — after the us defence secretary, lloyd austin, said israel had a moral responsiblity to minimise casualties not linked to hamas. our diplomatic correspondent

paul adams has this report — and a warning it contains images some viewers may find distressing in gaza's overcrowded south, children are once more in the frontline. israel says it's going to great lengths to avoid killing civilians, but khan younis, it says, is a hamas stronghold. the hospital is overwhelmed. further north in gaza city, civil defense workers try to evacuate civilians as battles raged nearby. for a week, these streets were silent. now the israeli army is closing in. injabalia, a generation in despair, losing parents and protection. "my dad was killed," he says. "i swear my dad was killed." people are fleeing, not for the first time trying to follow israel's instructions. not sure where to go.

"we can't see any safe areas," says nabeel. this is his family's sixth move. "we go from place to place, but there's no safety anywhere." israel says its new maps showing specific blocks in danger of being attacked should make it easier for people to find safety. this is basically israel's policy. but for one british palestinian, there's only confusion. everyone is in a panic because they got a phone call this morning for block 49 and other blocks, they called a family in the area and told them you must leave. people are being pushed like pawns in someone's chessboard into places with no water, no sanitation, no food, no safety. this idea of safe zones is a very dangerous narrative. we see here a fighting tunnel of hamas. - israel says it continues to unearth evidence of hamas embedding itself in civilian areas here.

here a tunnel close to a school. the battle for gaza now rages in the north and the south. it's tough, urban warfare full of risk and a determined enemy. in petah tikva this morning, the funeral of israeli staff sergeant ashar usama wounded during the ground invasion last month. "you fought bravely for the protection of the state," his girlfriend, says. "we salute you." and hamas is not done. more rockets fired at israel today. memories of last week's precious truce fading fast. paul adams, bbc news, jerusalem. for more, i spoke to paul adams injerusalem, and asked him about the warning system in place for

civilians in gaza. well, that's right. this has been a problem throughout the past two months. israel believes and says that it is giving as much notice as it possibly can to the civilian population to leave certain areas where the fighting is most concentrated. and they believe that these new maps with this detailed grid numbered grid should help that process, because they are saying to people in certain numbered areas, these are the areas you have to leave. the trouble is, people don't know where they should leave to. and it is also the case that even though israel may be concentrating on one particular set of areas, they are also hitting targets elsewhere outside of those demarcated areas. anything that the israelis regard as a high value target, where hamas might have some of its infrastructure or where a hamas commander might be living, those places are also in danger of being hit. so people frankly do not know and this has been a problem for the last two months. they do not really know where they can go to get out of harm's way.

and paul, we're hearing about the ground operations that have resumed. what more can you tell us about that? so we are beginning to see evidence of israeli forces moving in on the ground in the southern two thirds of the gaza strip. you'll recall that the fighting until a week, ten days ago was mostly concentrated in the north, in the northern third of the gaza strip in and around gaza city. well, now we're seeing reports of israeli tanks and troops moving in close to the city of khan yunis. this does suggest that they're beginning to launch some kind of operation to break up the southern gaza strip into certain manageable areas. it's early days. we don't quite know what the movement is. the israelis aren't saying anything about it, but it is evidence of a ground operation in the way in the south, on the way in the south, too. what do you think that means in terms of aid agencies trying to get their aid through?

well, it's going to make life difficult. during the pause, the humanitarian pause, the truce that lasted for a week but ended on friday, the aid agencies were able to get quite a lot of aid in. we were looking at anywhere between 150 and 200 trucks a day, and that was starting to make a difference. it's been more problematic since friday. on friday and saturday, no aid was getting in. then we began to see a little bit and i think the reports that i saw earlier suggested that as many as 100 trucks had crossed today. we'd need to check those figures. but i think the agencies will argue that as fighting moves down closer to the rafah crossing in the south, it is going to be harder to get aid in and more importantly, once it's in, to get it to the places where people are sheltering.

the movement said it attacked two israeli ships, one with a missile and the other with a drone. the announcement came shortly after the pentagon said it would provide more information when it was available but that commercial vessels have been attacked. no more detail has been attacked. no more detail has been provided. the ships that have been provided. the ships that have been attacked are those to have —— though said to have been linked to hamas. we will of course keep across that and bring you more if we get it. anti terror police in france say the man suspected of killing one person and injuring two others in a knife and hammer attack in central paris had pledged himself to the islamic state group. social media video shows armed police approaching a suspect in paris. the french interior minister gerard demain an said the attacker targeted tourists around key 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�*. with more on this, our reporter pierre antoine deni joins us from the newsroom. pierre. we know a bit more now about what exactly happened on saturday night. because of the details that had been told in this press conference that happened around 7pm in paris with the french prosecutors. he explained that the attacker attacked a group of three people of filipino origin before giving two hammer blows and formica stab wounds to one of them. one of the victims died from his injuries pretty much straightaway. this is a man with a dual

citizenship of filipino and german. the attacker then cross the bridge and on his way he dealt two blows to two bypasses. one man as we have been reporting all day of british nationality. what we can say from this press conference is that these two bypasses are back in their homes and in good health. as we have been mentioning, the motives of the attacker have been revealed in this press conference. and the fact that the attacker has pledged allegiance to the islamic group. let's listen to the islamic group. let's listen to what the french prosecutor had to say earlier today as to how the investigation is going and what we know so far. translation: our initial— investigation has concluded that the attacker stabbed his victim three

times and forth with a hammer and told police officers he was wearing an explosive belt. the perpetrator had recorded a video before his action on saturday evening. in this clip in arabic language he pledged allegiance to the islamic state. the attacker was known from secret services as he was found guilty of terror related incidents back in 2016. he was closely monitored until april this year. at the end of the month in october his mother had signalled to the authorities saying she was worried for his son. —— signalled to the authorities saying she was worried for her son. what is key are the last few sentences from the french police prosecutors. ultimately admitting that the perpetrator of this attack was known by the secret services, was known by the secret services, was in fact actually judged was known by the secret services, was in fact actuallyjudged for terror —related offences and actually served a jail term of several years. that's a key detail

here in this developing story because that means that ultimately this is the very first attack in france by an individual that has been alreadyjudged by a french criminal court in relation to terror offences and who served time in prison, came out, and acted again. that's an important detail that is making the rounds on french media that has been monitoring in the last few hours because everybody is saying the same thing, how is this possible that secret services all across the country have been monitoring the individual and have let him off the hook so that he can act up again. many people, many people that have been talking about this, have been saying that either the perpetrator has managed to play a double card with the police in the last few months or there was a gap in the system and with eight months to go before the olympics a lot of

doubts are being cast upon the french ability to ensure security ahead of massive events like the olympics. at least 47 people have died in severe floods and landslides in tanzania, according to local authorities. 85 others — near the slopes of mount hanang in the country's north — were reportedly injured. 100 houses are believed to have been destroyed, with trees and crops also washed away. tanzania's president samia hassan has ordered security forces to help with the rescue efforts. snow, ice and plummeting temperatures are causing problems across large parts of the uk. heavy snow in cumbria caused havoc on the roads, leaving hundreds of drivers trapped in their cars and more than 2,500 people without electricity. police declared a major incident and are still advising people to avoid the county. yellow weather warnings from the met office covering large areas of england, scotland and wales are in force

he could not get home and said that that he was coming to my house for lunch— and two o'clock yesterday, i he left at seven o'clock this morning and there are lots of people i stuck in putting people up and justl doing what we can to help. if you have witnessed this kind of weather in years. —— few have witnessed. this was the m6. motorists were stuck for hours and went to emergency refuge. everyone had to get out and i left the car out there. in the dark, we ran. lots of local people brought in food, clothes. people were just very grateful to have somewhere out of the weather.

an hour later they were told the bomb squad would be there in the morning to get rid of it. i spoke to the couple earlier. jeffrey told me he did not have time for me to see him today because they are too busy putting up their christmas decorations. we had a bit of a chat and what he told me was that wednesday night was a sleepless night because they were told that the whole street might have to be evacuated. the bomb disposal unit from gloucestershire, about 160 miles away, three hours by road, they arrived the next morning and they arrived the next morning and they did test on what the couple thought was a dummy and it was actually a live bomb that had a tiny amount of charge. geoffrey told me that he told the bomb disposal unit we aren't leaving the house, we are staying here, if it goes up we go up with it. this thing they had been using as an ornament was actually a 64 lb naval projectile. his wife used to bang her trowel on the bomb to get the soil off it. it was taken

air lying across the north of the country. snow over the welsh hills. the peak district, the pennines, even down to lower levels for a time. showers feeding into eastern scotland. western scotland and northern ireland will see the clearer skies. northern ireland will see the clearerskies. less northern ireland will see the clearer skies. less cold further south. southern england should have a frost free night. tomorrow morning could be tricky across northern england and the north midlands and north wales, could see some wet snow on the hills. but it'll be mostly rain. as the band of rain moves north it is likely to see that risk of sleet and snow transferring to the north pennines. frequent wintry showers pushing into northern and eastern scotland which could give significant accumulations. the best of the brightness in western scotland and northern ireland but central and southern parts will stay rather cloudy, quite breezy, with rain on and off. despite temperatures being higher across the board, if you factor in the wind it'll feel quite cold and raw. that other area of low pressure starts to

pull out towards the near continent monday night into tuesday. it will take a while but it means the eastern side of england will bear the brunt of the edge of the low bringing fairly brisk north, north—easterly winds, further wintry showers here, and further showers in north and eastern scotland. elsewhere, increasing amounts of sunshine, high pressure, so an improving afternoon for many. it'll be quite a cold day, temperatures between two and 7 degrees, even cooler when you factor in the breeze. another cold one to come on wednesday, then thursday and friday it turns wet and windy but you will notice milder air which is pretty much all areas. we start the upcoming week on a cold note, bit of sunshine around before turning more unsettled by the end of the week and turning milderfor all.
