welcome back. dozens of tanks have been seen on the outskirts of the city of khan yunis today, as israel continues to expand its ground offensive in southern gaza. the military has ordered the evacuation of nearly two dozen neighbourhoods in and around the town, urging tens of thousands to move further south towards rafah or the coast. the israeli military denies it's trying to drive palestinians from gaza permanently, but the red cross warns the territory is enduring "intolerable" suffering. the idf are dropping thousands of leaflets in the south which a qr of leaflets in the south which has a qr code that links to this online map. it breaks the gaza map into hundreds of numbered blocks,

those numbers supposedly corresponding to safe areas, but the reality is people don't have power or internet communication, or at least it's intermittent. and so, very often, they have no idea where to go. earlier, i spoke with our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, injerusalem and asked what sorts of warnings the israelis are sending to the people of gaza. they're basically saying that if you are living in an area just to the east and north of khan younis, one of the largest cities in the southern part of the gaza strip, then you need to move west and get out of the way. that map you're seeing there on your screen, that red dotted line is the salahadin street, which runs throughout the gaza strip from north to south. and that area, that red dotted area is a stretch of the road that the israelis are saying palestinians should not get anywhere near. at the bottom end of that dotted line is the city of khan younis.

the yellow—orange line is saying this is the alternative route you can take if you want to head to the south. i think what all of this suggests to me is that the israelis are probably going to try and cut across north of khan younis towards the sea, to cut the southern part of the gaza strip off from the rest. we saw a similar tactic further north when they cut off gaza city from the rest of the gaza strip. so that seems to be the general direction of israeli military effort at the moment. and that will be a prelude to a battle that will probably and that'll be a prelude to a battle that will probably concentrate on khan younis for the coming weeks, and obviously, that is leading to enormous concern and fear among people there. they are getting these new instructions. they are more detailed than they were up in gaza city. you can look at a map and see block by block which ones the israelis are talking about on any given day. but for people, some of whom have had to move several times already, this is exhausting and it is still confusing.

a senior us delegation arrived in israel today to begin the planning for post—war gaza. they've been told to leave a warehouse within 2a hours. the who saying they have to leave the warehouse. you'll be aware that medical supplies are already in chronically short supplies. they don't have the number beds. a senior us delegation arrived in israel today to begin the planning for post—war gaza. among the americans the vice presidents top national security advisor phil gordon, who was with kamala harris in dubai at the weekend for her meetings with the arab leaders. they will be meeting with israeli top security officials as well as the palestinian president mahmoud abbas.

philip, cani philip, can i just philip, can ijust pick up on that? the israelis say they don't want the job of securing gaza, arab nations are resisting, palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas said he might volunteerfor it. president mahmoud abbas said he might volunteer for it. there's a range of unsatisfactory options here. what do you think should take place next? here. what do you think should take lace next? . �* , here. what do you think should take place next?— place next? that's the question all the --eole place next? that's the question all the peeple are _ place next? that's the question all the people are searching _ place next? that's the question all the people are searching for, - the people are searching for, really. the initiative at the moment is of the israeli military. it sounds like they've got a way to go before they're satisfied that they've achieved at least their short—term objective. you can't lock the doors on the gaza strip indefinitely. there needs to be a sustainable way forward. that will have to involve notjust the us in terms of international engagement, but also the arab world and beyond. that's where creative minds have to get to work pretty quickly, because

what we have at the moment cannot last. you cannot have a situation like this just go on indefinitely. there is a lot of people in the gaza strip who need some sort of line of sight into the future, and they're just not getting that at the moment. it's a desperate situation.— it's a desperate situation. which is the oint it's a desperate situation. which is the point that _ it's a desperate situation. which is the point that the _ it's a desperate situation. which is the point that the defence - it's a desperate situation. which is i the point that the defence secretary was making at the weekend, if you continue the bombing, strategically, you lose the war because you lose hearts and minds of the palestinian people. this has come earlier today from the national security leader jake sullivan. he was asked whether the united states thinks israel is heating their advice to protect civilians. this is what he said? it's too soon for me to sit here and telll you that i'm going to pass some comprehensive judgment. - what i'm going to do instead is what i did earlier today. i i'm going to talk to my israeli. counterparts about what they are doing to target hamas i and what they are doing

to try to protect civilians. they have every right to go after the hamas terrorists i who committed this brutal massacre on october 7th and who continue - to fire rockets just in the last . hours at civilian areas in israel. but they also have a responsibility to try to protect civilians. - which they absolutely do, mary anne, because they see it as an accidental threat. the bigger question is whether you can really get rid of hamas. they've been in powerfor 15 years and every part of society. is it possible to do away with a movement like that through a military campaign ? failure isn't an option, 7 failure isn't an option, look what ? failure isn't an option, look what hamas has — ? failure isn't an option, look what hamas has done. _ ? failure isn't an option, look what hamas has done. israel _ ? failure isn't an option, look what hamas has done. israel is - hamas has done. israel is certainly within_ hamas has done. israel is certainly within its_ hamas has done. israel is certainly within its rights to remove them and end it _ within its rights to remove them and end it as_ within its rights to remove them and end it. as difficult as that is, at the same — end it. as difficult as that is, at the same time — and we talked about this in— the same time — and we talked about this in the _ the same time — and we talked about

of the world's biggest recent oil discoveries there in 2015. the us military has been working to strengthen guyana's tiny military force, but nothing like enough to deter mr maduro — but then neither has britain. it is a former colony, a fellow commonwealth country — in fact, it's the only english—speaking nation in latin america. benjamin gedan is a former south america director on the national security council at the white house and now the director of the latin america program at the wilson centre, a think tank based in washington. thank you for being on the programme. the united states where they are at the weekend, talking to they are at the weekend, talking to the government in guiana. were they prepared to go too far enough to protect guyana? it’s prepared to go too far enough to protect guyana?— prepared to go too far enough to protect guyana? it's clear that the armed forces. —

we start football. eight months on from guiding sheffield united to the premier league, paul heckinbottom is on the verge of being sacked. the club are bottom of the division with just five points from their first 14 matches, and bbc sport understands a decision on the manager's future will be made in the next 24 hours. if he is sacked, heckinbottom would become the first manager to be dismissed in the premier league this season. at the other end of the division, manchester city have been charged for failing to control their players — to control their players after they surrounded the match officials during the 94th minute of their match against tottenham yesterday, following a controversial late decision by referee simon hooper. city have until thursday to respond. he stopped playing whenjack grealish was on goal. the defender and his family were in

the house, no one was harmed, but items were taken. west him joint chair david sullivan hopes the reward will bring the individuals to justice —— west ham. the bbc will continue to show premier league highlights on match of the day until the 2028—29 season at the very latest. that's after details of a new record television deal worth £6.7 billion was announced for the premier league — the largest sports media deal ever reached in the uk. sky sports will shows a minimum of 215 matches a season, while tnt sports will show a minimum of 52 matches. the deal comes into effect from the 2025—26 season. there's been a managerial sacking in the championship tonight, with swansea parting ways with michael duff. meanwhile, in the fa cup, there was no famous upset for ramsgate. the lowest ranked team left

in the tournament were beaten 5—0 by afc wimbledon, who play in league two. they'll face championship high—fliers ipswich town in the third round. the uk government says it will back all recommendations in the women's football review that was led by former england midfielder karen carney. the review has called for full professionalisation of women's football and equal access to sport in schools for girls after finding discrepancies in pay, facilities, and standards across women's football. the recommendations include making the top two tiers of women's football professional, and creating a dedicated broadcast slot. england women's manager sarina wiegman says she's positive both her side and scotland will give their all in tomorrow's a win for england will see them progress in the tournament, and also keep their hopes alive of reaching next summer's olympics — a competition in which some scotland players could feature, which has led to some discussion as to how hard scotland will try to win the match.

i understand the conversations about it, but if you have seen our group and if you have seen scotland and if you know the history of scotland and england, and there's no way that they are going to give away this game. they really want to be england and we want to beat them, of course, so there is such a revival re—? a rivalry that there's not the case. we saw when we played in england and that's what it's going to be. truthfully, i think it's so disrespectful. to a plate for my country — disrespectful. to a plate for my country for as many years as i have come _ country for as many years as i have come onto— country for as many years as i have come onto knows the girl sitting there. _ come onto knows the girl sitting there. to — come onto knows the girl sitting there, to know the ones who want to be here _ there, to know the ones who want to be here who — there, to know the ones who want to be here who are injured and can't be, i_ be here who are injured and can't be, ithink— be here who are injured and can't be, i think it's actually already to question— be, i think it's actually already to question anyone's integrity and i think— question anyone's integrity and i think it's — question anyone's integrity and i think it's huge and insult to us.

it will be mandatory to wear net cards. the announcement follows the death of forward adam johnson in late october after he suffered a fatal neck injury while playing. the ice hockey association confirmed in october that wearing a neck guard will be mandatory during all on ice activities. the england and wales cricket board has introduced an independent regulator in response to an independent report into the game. the report, published in june after allegations made by former yorskire player azeem rafiq during his time at headingly, found racism, sexism, classism and elitism were "widespread" in cricket, and the regulator's remit will include safeguarding, anti—corruption, anti—doping and anti—discrimination. the regulator will be overseen by a new independent cricket regulatory board and ring—fenced from the rest of the ecb.

more on that story of the bbc sport website. that is all the sport for now. good night. 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, and that rain was really quite heavy for parts of central southern areas of england throughout monday. for parts of central and 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 —4, —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—8 or 9 degrees for england and wales. now, as we go through tuesday nights, the cloud will continue night, 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—4 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.
