there's nowhere safe to go. the uk government announces new plans aimed at reducing legal immigration. indonesian rescue teams recover the bodies of 11 hikers, a day after a volcano erupted on the island of sumatra. 12 people are still missing. welcome back. i am lewis vaughan jones. we are going to be the latest on the israel gaza were now, but we will head to the west bank. tensions have risen. clashes between israelis and palestinians. our international editor jeremy bowen has been in the area south of hebron, where an entire village has just been destroyed. palestinian farmers are using the donkey because of their neighbours — aggressive jewish settlers, who they say will steal

or break their tractor if they use it. arabs and jews started fighting over every grain of soil in the land both sides believe should be theirs more than a century ago. in the west bank, it still comes down to that, in every rocky field. in susiya, in the south hebron hills, palestinians live under constant pressure from jewish settlers. but it's been much worse since the hamas attacks on the 7th of october. the settlers were watching. one of their leaders cancelled an interview with us at short notice. palestinians fear another 1948, when their society was destroyed by israel's independence, which arabs call the catastrophe, the nakba. translation: we have been passing| through one nakba to another through the palestinian occupation years. we cannot handle another one. we don't have any place to go. this is our land, this is our property. we need to stand here,

here in this land. soldiers came to check what we were doing. one told an israeli colleague that he was a traitor for visiting palestinians. they filmed us, but took much less interest in what had happened a few miles down the road. the village of khirbet zanutah had been bulldozed, activists said, last night. zanutah�*s 200 palestinians left four weeks ago, after a barrage of threats from armed jewish settlers. the school was destroyed — britain helped fund it. the project was called supporting palestinians at risk of forcible transfer. activists said settlers did it to make sure the palestinians would never come back. someone drewjewish stars of david. we went there with a former israeli special forces soldier who now campaigns against the occupation. they are demolishing palestinian villages, beating up palestinian farmers,

stealing their olives. they are trying to open a third front, an east front, against the palestinians. why? the palestinian west bank. why? because they want this without any palestinians, they want the land without any palestinians. palestinians see all this, and the rest of the settler violence on the west bank, as confirmation of their worst fears — that there are powerful elements inside israel, in the government as well as the settler movement, who want them out, and who are using the enormous crisis surrounding the gaza war as an opportunity to further their agenda. zanutah�*s palestinians have petitioned israel's supreme court and hope to return. it is going to be much harder now. jeremy bowen, bbc news, on the west bank. we are going to go from the west bank now to the situation in gaza.

juliette touma is the communications director for the united nations relief and works agency. she gave us some insight into the current situation in the strip. there are people who have moved multiple times in search of safety that they never found, because simply no place is safe, and now even the south that which was believed to be safer but was never really safe, is no longer safe. our teams on the run are reporting very heavy bombardment in the area, and only in khan younis but also in russia. i was there just before the post—cayman and there were bombardment during the day and the night —— not only in khan younis but also in rafah. they are hosting 1.2 million people, they are overcrowded, they are not safe. we have recorded since the war began more than 100 hits on unrwa facilities, including those that were sheltering families. so no place is safe, not rafah, not khan

younis, and there is no such thing as a safe zone in the gaza strip, there is no such thing. the horrors, through the weeks of the war, until the post came into place, and the same horror, it's the displacement, the fear, uncertainty, the grief. we are talking about 2 million people being forced to being pushed, being moved into what is less than one third of the total territory of gaza. it is not going to work. this is not going to work. the post was very welcome and it brought respite to people in gaza and it brought the release of israeli hostages. we have got to go back to that, and i was very, very welcome, and we also have to have a flow of humanitarian supplies, because you see since the pause came to an end, we have seen a very significant decrease in the

humanitarian assistance and fuel coming into gaza. we are really fearful that we are going to go back to square zero, to where we were before the pause. a£111" to square zero, to where we were before the pause.— before the pause. our thanks to juliette touma. _ before the pause. our thanks to juliette touma. we _ before the pause. our thanks to juliette touma. we are - before the pause. our thanks to juliette touma. we are going i before the pause. our thanks to juliette touma. we are going to j juliette touma. we are going to quickly cross to the us. a white house briefing is taking place, lots of different questions, but i think we canjust listen in now. particularly given the sensitivity of this military operation would not be wise for me to live out in public for all of you, but it is a conversation we're having this week, yeah first on the hostages. {sheen yeah first on the hostages. given the talks at _ yeah first on the hostages. given the talks at doha _ yeah first on the hostages. given the talks at doha have _ yeah first on the hostages. given the talks at doha have stalled, . yeah first on the hostages. given the talks at doha have stalled, is there _ the talks at doha have stalled, is there any— the talks at doha have stalled, is there any possibility right now that there any possibility right now that the white — there any possibility right now that the white house is contemplating that would try to secure the release of the _ that would try to secure the release of the dual— that would try to secure the release of the dual american citizens separately from the talks that have been going on?— been going on? there are still in intensive discussions _ been going on? there are still in intensive discussions among - been going on? there are still in intensive discussions among us, | intensive discussions among us, israel, qatarand intensive discussions among us, israel, qatar and egypt about how to best get traction on a strategy that will get all the hostages out, but

has ashley coordinated the commencement of its military operations on the ground, in the south, with this kind of notification —— actually coordinated. now, whati notification —— actually coordinated. now, what i cannot judges how many people in that area have received vector munication because i'm not on the ground, so i don't know that, i will have —— believe indicated is we need to make sure that when they are moving in force in an area in the south they do so with some confidence people have gotten safe passage out of that area. that is an ongoing conversation we have with them, but all i can tell you is from our perspective, one of the key lessons from the north was to ensure that as you commence a ground operation, you have got to give civilians the time and capacity and real opportunity to leave. that is our position, that is what we intend to continue to reinforce privately and are happy to share publicly, because we think thatis share publicly, because we think that is basic, that that is the right thing to do, it is also the

most effective way to actually see this whole operation through. you are sa in: this whole operation through. you are saying you _ this whole operation through. you are saying you won't make qualitative judgements, are saying you won't make qualitativejudgements, but are saying you won't make qualitative judgements, but other senior— qualitative judgements, but other senior officials have done that in recent— senior officials have done that in recent days, talking about the operations, talking about northern gaza, _ operations, talking about northern gaza, talking about israel heeding advice _ gaza, talking about israel heeding advice based on us's previous operations, experian urban warfare so there _ operations, experian urban warfare so there does seem to be, we have heard _ so there does seem to be, we have heard that — so there does seem to be, we have heard that kind ofjudgment from other— heard that kind ofjudgment from other officials in the past... a asked — other officials in the past... a asked what you've heard and you have heard _ asked what you've heard and you have heard it _ asked what you've heard and you have heard it for _ asked what you've heard and you have heard it for me to is the basic proposition that one in the civilian killed is to many and too many _ civilian killed is to many and too many innocent civilians have died in this conflict — many innocent civilians have died in this conflict. the vice president has said — this conflict. the vice president has said that, secretary blinken has said that, _ has said that, secretary blinken has said that, i— has said that, secretary blinken has said that, i have said that. that is the truth — said that, i have said that. that is the truth that does not require a kind of— the truth that does not require a kind ofjudgment that parses a particular act in a particular location _ particular act in a particular location-— particular act in a particular location. ~ ,, .,~ ., ., location. we will speak out on rinci - le location. we will speak out on principle that _ location. we will speak out on principle that the _ location. we will speak out on principle that the protection . location. we will speak out on | principle that the protection of civilians and operations consistent with the laws of war are

give them up —— hamas is. israel is insisting i must follow through on the release of those women, and israel has said if hamas is prepared to follow through on that, israel is absolutely prepared to discuss those additional hostages categories. civilian men, the wounded, ultimately all of the hostages, the idf soldiers have held there. we the united states of course look at that negotiation and think, how do we get back to it? the easiest most straightforward way to get back to it would be for must be held accountable for not following through on its end of the bargain. but then we also have to think about how we get all of our american hostages out and we are giving thought to that as well, and handicapping forms of leverage or precise strategies for how we go about that, it's something i will refrain from doing. i would just say that we are thinking through both in concert with israel and then just as a country with our own citizens being held what tools we have to our

disposal to be able to get them out. on the vice president's trip, any consideration for the vice president traveiied _ consideration for the vice president travelled to israel as part of her trip? _ travelled to israel as part of her trip? if— travelled to israel as part of her trip? if so— travelled to israel as part of her trip? if so why did she decide not to? , . , ., ., trip? if so why did she decide not to? , ., ., ., , to? this was more to the fact she was auoin to? this was more to the fact she was going for— to? this was more to the fact she was going for the _ to? this was more to the fact she was going for the climate - was going for the climate conference, that was a great target of opportunity for 2—seat and number of opportunity for 2—seat and number of leaders, and for a vitae of reasons did not have a second stop to the trip, but she spoke with president herzog of israel, she will stay in close touch with israeli leaders and i will fully and his abate in the month said she will make her own trip to israel, but would refer you to her office for that, and part of the reason she wanted phil to go was so that he could read out in detail everything that she had learned on her travels to dubai and so they are fully apprised of the outcomes of those meetings. apprised of the outcomes of those meetinus. ., ~ apprised of the outcomes of those meetinus. . ,, , ., apprised of the outcomes of those meetinus. . ,, i. ~ apprised of the outcomes of those meetinus. ., ~ ~ ., ., ., ,

un, so reports that at least 30 people have been killed and over 100 injured after two schools were hit injured after two schools were hit in gaza city earlier. so we are waiting to confirm the details, but that line coming in. a palestinian news information agency. we will work to establish the details of that for you. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc use — bring you different stories— bbc use — bring you different stories from _ bbc use — bring you different stories from across _ bbc use — bring you different stories from across the - bbc use — bring you different stories from across the you. i bbc use - bring you different stories from across the you. workers live with uncertain _ stories from across the you. workers live with uncertain news _ stories from across the you. workers live with uncertain news in _ live with uncertain news in whittlesey. nine transportationjobs whittlesey. nine transportation jobs argue whittlesey. nine transportationjobs argue to go with up to 25 manufacturing jobs at risk. —— article. it has been blamed in a downturn in the building trade.

i've spoken to someone who works here who says that it isn't an issue with the company or with whittlesea, but the problem is nationwide and industrywide. whittlesea is renowned for its brick building past. sadness in the town today. i mean, i've been there, my father was in there and grandfather. so as i say, he has a long history established here. it's very, very sad, but it's the way of the world today. the company hasn't given a timescale of when the job losses may come, as it continues to face the challenges gripping the industry. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. - you're live with bbc news. we are going to turn to ukraine. president zelensky is still asking for more funds, especially from the us. the white house has warned congress that the united states could run out of funds to support ukraine with weapons and equipment by the end of the year. shalanda young said that failure to do so would, in her words, kneecap ukraine on the battlefield.

mark cancian is a senior adviser at the center for strategic and international studies, an american think tank. the united states has appropriated $113 billion to support ukraine across the board. the administration had proposed another $61 billion or so to continue that support, as part of a larger $105 billion package that included israel and border security, but there are elements in the house the republican elements, a small number, but they prevented the house from voting on this supplemental, so right now this situation estimated in congress. if the vote ever got to the floor, if the bill got to the floor, it would pass. there is a lot lot of bipartisan support for ukraine, but it is caught up in these congressional mechanics. and

these congressional mechanics. and what would be the impact, i suppose, worst case scenario here, and i will couchitin worst case scenario here, and i will couch it in those words, what could happen? if couch it in those words, what could ha--en? couch it in those words, what could ha en? ,, ., , couch it in those words, what could hauen? ,, . , ., happen? if the united states did not revent an happen? if the united states did not prevent any more — happen? if the united states did not prevent any more aid, _ happen? if the united states did not prevent any more aid, ukrainians . happen? if the united states did not| prevent any more aid, ukrainians are going to be in a very bad way. —— did not provide. the flow of aid will not stop immediately, although the united states has essentially spent all the money. the money has been committed. the materials will been committed. the materials will be delivered over a period of time for some sometimes it's weeks, sometimes months. some of it is going to be delivered over years, but with time that flow will go down, the europeans will continue their aid, so down, the europeans will continue theiraid, so we down, the europeans will continue their aid, so we will not go to zero, but with time, week after week, ukraine is a bit less and less. that means they cannot replace their losses. there medical supplies, spare parts will decline,

announced its plans to reduce legal migration. the plans include raising the minimum salary for skilled workers except for health or social care workers, which make up the bulk of visas. here's our political editor, chris mason. saint cecilia's nursing home in scarborough this afternoon. 225 people work here, 35 from abroad. the wider social care sector has a vast number of vacancies. overseas staff are seen as crucial. but net legal migration has ballooned when the government promised it would fall. home secretary. the government wants to show it gets that for many, this is unacceptable. people are understandably worried about housing, about gp appointments, about school places. and so the home secretary said the government will... stop overseas care workers from bringing family dependants and we will require care firms in england to be regulated by the care quality commission

in order for them to sponsor visas. he claimed he didn't think this would cut the number of care workers coming here. secondly, we will stop immigration undercutting the salary of british workers. we will increase the skilled worker earnings threshold by a third, to £38,700, from next spring. in line with the median full—term wage for those kinds ofjobs. that means some will need to earn more to get a visa. those working in health and social care will be exempt. allowing overseas workers to earn 20% less in sectors with big staffing shortages is to end and allowing graduates to stay on after their course will be reviewed. and... we will ensure people only bring dependants who they can support financially, by raising the minimum income for family visas to the same

threshold as the minimum salary threshold for skilled workers, 38,700. that is an increase of £20,000. 300,000 fewer people will be eligible to come to the uk than were coming last year. this is the largest reduction on record. secretary yvette cooper. labour are less than impressed. the conservatives are in chaos, they've got no serious - plan for the economy, no serious plan for. the immigration system, - no serious plan for the country. britain deserves better than this! the snp said scotland badly needs migrant workers. i don't know if the secretary of state has any elderly relatives in care. i do, and i know the invaluable contribution that overseas care workers make. the trade—offs around migration, a colourful debate resumes. chris mason, bbc news. the word of the year has been

revealed by oxford university press. eight were in the running and the crown went for the word rizz. do you know what it means? have you even heard of it? felicity baker has been finding out. the word of the year for 2023... 0k. have you heard of it? no, not at all. it is rizz. rizz? i think ijust saw the news, it was rizz. yeah, i know what that means. basically flirting or i think people say grafting on someone. - riz - r, i, z. r, i, z, z. have you ever heard of it? no! have you heard of the term, to rizz it up, as well? unfortunately, yes. yeah. my flatmate is big into trying to rizz things up. my generation use it every single day. - not myself, but a lot of people! it is rizz. rizz? this man... do you have rizz? he's drowning in rizz! go on, tell her what rizz means. it's, like, when a boy. meets a girl and, like, if they are good—looking and you can

get them to be your girlfriend, - then that is rizz. would you say you have both got rizz? 100%, yes! i would say so! rizz. i don't even know what that means. it means apparently to have charisma, romantic appeal. ok, i shall add that to my dictionary! i so now we all know. brilliant stuff! just before i head off... they've called scotland their home for more than a decade, but now the uk's only two giant pandas have begun the long journey back to china. yang guang and tian tian have been a key part of edinburgh zoo, but today they were loaded in that plane. they are headed back to china. that is it from me. i am lewis vaughan jones. this is bbc news. hello again. while we saw a bit of wintriness on monday across parts of scotland, northern england, mainly over higher

ground, for many, actually, we saw some rain falling. that rain was really quite heavy for parts of central southern areas of england throughout monday. but as we go through into tuesday, this area of low pressure will continue to move away to the south—east. it'll stay pretty cloudy. still some wintriness over the higher ground of northern england, perhaps north wales as well. but with clear skies across scotland and northern ireland, here, a frost. temperatures —11, —5 degrees into tuesday. for england and wales, frost—free. and that's because we've got lots of clouds, still some outbreaks of rain at times. gradually, though, that'll tend to clear away to the south—east and might see a bit of brightness eventually in north—western areas. plenty of blue skies and sunshine, though, across scotland and northern ireland throughout the day, with maximum temperatures here 2 or 3 celsius, maybe about 7 to 8 or 9 degrees for england and wales. now, as we go through tuesday nights, the cloud will continue to clear away from the south—east, and then with clear skies, it's still going to turn really quite cold, actually. a widespread frost expected, and we could see temperatures as low as —11, —12 degrees over

the snowfields of northern scotland. but then as we go through wednesday, after a bright start to the day, you notice we've got this weather system in the west and that contains milder air. but it's going to be quite slow—moving, that, on wednesday, so while eventually the cloud increases across northern ireland, southern and western areas, with some patchy rain eventually arriving late in the day, apart from some patches of mist and fog in central, southern areas, there'll be plenty of dry, plenty of sunny weather around during wednesday, but it will feel fairly chilly. temperatures only about 2—11 or 5 celsius. but look at that — 11 degrees in plymouth, a sign of the milder air, which will eventually start to move its way in during wednesday as this weather front moves through. now, as it hits colder air, for a time, there could be some snow over the higher ground of scotland and northern england. but throughout thursday, really, this milder air, the oranges here really move north—eastward across all parts of the uk.

so all of us will eventually see the temperatures rise really from wednesday onward. but with that, turning quite wet and windy at times as well. bye— bye.

hello, i'm lewis vaughan—jones. you're watching the context on bbc news. hundreds of thousands of people

on the move probably for the third or fourth time. some cannot because there's not enough transport to move them. many are well aware that they are moving to a place with no water, no shelter. this is part of israel's effort to safeguard the civilian population, who we don't want to see caught up in the crossfire between the idf, the israel defense forces, and the hamas terrorists. and so we're urging them to leave areas of expected combat. translation: we were sleeping l safely, minding our own business. suddenly a bomb fell on us, and the whole building was destroyed. my brother was torn into pieces, and so was his wife. _ my daughter was killed, - and his daughters were killed, including his littlest. we can't find my mum and my niece. this ominous silence has led 136 families to despair. we understand the escalation of the war due to the breach of the cease—fire by hamas. we request a meeting with the war cabinet to receive updates

on the fate of our family members now, now!
