developments coming out of israel and gaza. the israeli military says its troops are now in the heart of khan younis, which they call a "hamas stronghold". it follows an intense overnight bombardment. it follows what they call the most intense day of fighting. the islamichhad organisation posted this video which it says it shows are fighting against israeli forces in the city. the un food programme says the resumption of fighting has intensified the hunger crisis intensified the hunger crisis in gaza and also along without more details emerging of the october seven attack. bbc has been hearing evidence that women in israel was sexually assaulted, raped and mutilated by hamas. israeli investigators that have gathered more than 1000 testimonies from witnesses and those are handled the bodies of the victims after the attack. lucy williamson has more from jerusalem and a

warning, this report contains distressing details. out of the chaos and mass trauma of the hamas attacks, new stories are starting to emerge — of rape and sexual assault, including graphic testimony from an eye witness interviewed by police. they bent her open home and relishes being raped one by one. then she was passed to another man in uniform. she was still alive when she was being raped. they shot her while she was being raped and then they cut off her breast and played with the on the street. the scale of sexual violence here is not clear — bodies were mutilated and survivors few. police admit they are facing a lack of forensic evidence from the site. you can still hear the israeli bombardment of gaza and see

vast clouds of black smoke hanging over the gaza strip. but in the days following the attacks, this site was an active combat zone. it was a big enough challenge to collect the bodies, let alone early forensic evidence of sexual crimes. videos shot by hamas during the attacks, an early warning, a large bloodstain on the trousers of one woman captive, female bodies piled on trucks, naked or semi—clothed. body collectors describe piles of women's bodies, naked from the waist down, some photographed with their legs splayed. those who witnessed sexual attacks have struggled with what they saw. i spoke with girls that are now, at least three girls, that are now hospitalised for very hard psychiatric

situation because of the rapes they watched. they pretended to be dead and they watched it and they heard everything from the side. some of them want to kill themselves. some can't deal with that. crucial evidence has come from the makeshift identification unit at this army base. teams here describe assault, including palaces broken from sustained rape. but the scale of sexual abuse during these attacks may never be fully known. it's definitely multiple. it's hard to tell. i have also dealt with more than a few burnt bodies, and those, i have no idea what they went through before hand. bodies that are missing the bottom half, i also don't know if they were raped. women that were clearly raped... they are... yeah. staff told me there were patterns in the violence visited on women's bodies according to location. according to location.

investigators say these attacks were systematic and premeditated, but piecing together even one single story is slow and difficult work. the wider story of sexual violence in these attacks is onlyjust beginning. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has warned his country is in danger of losing his war unless they get more support. the white house has warned it is out of money and time to provide more weapons to ukraine, that is unless congress approves additional funding and support. republicans have indicated they could have problems of the package and president zelensky, due to address the closed meeting of the senate virtually, pulled out at the last minute. the white house says, as things stand, the

support to ukraine, already standing at $110 billion, will run out by the end of the year. president biden has made a frank and unexpected admission, saying he is not sure if he is running on a second term for office if donald trump was not also trying to win presidency. in his own words he said if trump was not running i am not sure i would be running but we cannot let him win. the opinion polls currently show donald trump with a narrow read in the race further white house —— lead. i have been speaking to our north america correspondent peter bowes in los angeles for on how are these developments being seen in the us. i think republicans and democrats are trying to work out what is going on through the mind ofjoe biden. it is not certain that donald trump will be the republican candidate and is significantly ahead the contenders of the

united —— for the nomination and although donald trump is facing huge legal issues with criminal trials coming up next year there is the possibility that one of the other contenders, nikki haley, the former un representative under donald trump, she is doing quite well. in some people are suggesting perhaps she could be the republican candidate. i was seenjoe biden here perhaps considering if donald trump is not the candidate, he will not be the candidate either and stepping aside for another democrat? i think these are questions you probably cannot answer at the moment but it is thrown the cat amongst the pigeons to use the phrase, in terms of the race at this stage, which interestingly, the presidential election is now exactly to the day, 11 months away. the news from india, whether cyclone has made landfall, and that city of

chennai has been inundated due to what is being said to be the heaviest rainfall in 47 years. in some areas water levels have begun to recede. our reporter is there for us. the cyclone has produced rains for 18 hours in chennai and districts and had many parts inundated. the rain has stopped for 15 hours in this city is slowly recuperating and water has receded in many parts of the city and low—lying areas and areas like this are still about 3- areas like this are still about 3— four feet of water and people are stranded. people who are living next to areas like this are being moved to relief camps and some 9000 people from the city have moved to relief camps and visuals of the river which you are seeing is one of

the most prominent rivers in the most prominent rivers in the city, carrying the water to the city, carrying the water to the sea and this is receiving water from the lake which is the drinking water reservoir for the city. the chief minister, the head of the state, has said these rains are unseen in the last 47 years and the stormwater drain works has helped the city. power supply is slowly being resumed up to 670% of places but there is still apply —— 70% of neighbourhoods. the west damage of the cyclone was a shutdown of the cyclone was a shutdown of communication services, which has still not been resumed. and we're keeping an eye on developments of that story. for many weeks, boats carrying refugees have been making a hazardous journey to indonesia. on board our rohingyan muslims, many who have fled from myanmar and they say the refugee camps in

bangladesh are dangerous but the local population in rj is often opposed to their arrival. we should warn you that this report contains material which you will find upsetting. after almost two weeks of sailing, these rohingya refugees have finally reached land. but the refugees who arrived from bangladesh have not received a warm welcome in aceh, indonesia. local people have tried to push them back to sea. "don't make us hit you", one man shouts. "you can't dock here". many of them are women and children who desperately need help. some of the recently arrived refugees are now being housed by local authorities. yasmin said four babies died on the boat she was on. one of them was her daughter. translation: when i first

arrived in indonesia, i had two children. but when they put away our boat, one of my children died because he was sick and we didn't have any food. i had to throw her body into the sea. yasmin and more than 1,200 other refugees are being housed by local authorities in temporary shelters like this. she says she fled bangladesh after her husband died and her brother was killed in the gang violence that stalks refugee camps there. they might be safer in indonesia, but the conditions are very difficult. here, tents of people are squeezed into one room. some of them are sick, but they have no choice. and the refugees are still arriving in aceh. over 1000 came in recent weeks, and more boats are on their way. but locals say the influx is already out of control and needs to stop. translation: they are | unsettling and ungrateful.

some of them ran away from the shelters. to help deal with the new arrivals, the indonesian government has set up a new task force. but many refugees find themselves trapped in a kind of limbo. zahara says her camp in bangladesh burnt down and she fled to protect her children. she dreams of being reunited with her husband, who is stuck in malaysia. but for now, a video call is the only way these children can talk to their father. they are closer, but still too far away. hannah samosir, bbc news, aceh. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. deliveries continue to rollout of whittlesea as workers live with uncertain use, nine transportation jobs with uncertain use, nine transportationjobs are with uncertain use, nine transportation jobs are to go with up to 25 manufacturing

james cleverley is flying to rwanda which he hopes will address concerns about sending illegal migrants to the country. the court ruled the government's original plan to be unlawful thing it breach human rights. chris mason reports from the capital of rwanda. this was james cleverly, his first foreign trip as home secretary. but hang on a minute. as part of east african deja vu, priti patel came here as home secretary in april of last year and suella braverman was here in march, three home secretaries making it to rwanda before a single migrant. last month, the supreme court said the rwanda plan was unlawful. this is what the government's hoped for solution looks like — a treaty between the uk and rwanda. the uk and rwanda are working on this because it is important, not because it is necessarily easy or that it buys you cheap or quick popularity.

rwanda and the uk understand that there is a critical need to find innovative ways to address the suffering of migrants making dangerous, desperate journeys under the exploitation of criminal human smugglers. mr cleverly, can you guarantee that migrants will be on their way here as soon as the spring, or are you crossing your fingers and hoping for the best? of course, we want to see this, this part of our wider migration plan up and running as quickly as possible. we feel very strongly that this treaty addresses all the issues raised by their lordships in the supreme court. key to the supreme court's concern was the fear rwanda would send people to countries where they would be unsafe. british judges will now sit in rwandan courts to hear appeals where in some instances migrants could return to the uk.

this whole idea has always been novel and conventional ministers say it has to be because illegal migration is a massive challenge and so they have to think of big new ideas, but they can't be certain it'll work. and critics say it could end up being an expensive experiment, doomed to failure. we've seen more home secretaries than we have asylum seekers sent to rwanda, and we still don't have a full answer on how much this is costing. we know they've already sent checks to rwanda for 140 million for a scheme that's clearly failing. what the government should be doing is creating safe and legal routes for people to come to the uk. that would stop the small boats but also real investment into clearing the asylum backlog, which makes sense. the reason they're not doing that is because they want this to be a problem. as the home secretary prepared to leave, the big question remained. can you guarantee migrants will arrive in rwanda from the uk before the general election?

well, look, i — the only thing i can guarantee is the effort that we put in. you can't, can you? and i have guaranteed that we will address the issues that the supreme court has put forward. and we have. i've guaranteed that we'll work collaboratively with the rwandan government, and we have. and i guaranteed that we'd put this relationship on a firm international footing and we have. another trip complete. the same issue hangs in the air. will it be migrants, not ministers, heading here soon? chris mason, bbc news, kigali, in rwanda. nigeria's president has called for a thorough investigation into an accidental military drone attack that emergency officials that killed at least 85 civilians. it happened in a village as people gathered to mark a muslim festival on sunday. scenes of devastation in the northwestern state of kaduna in nigeria after at

there are jaunty sculptures of crash barriers. unionjacks and bunting adorn the room. the oxford—born, berlin based, artist says, in part, he's focusing on what he sees as the uk's hostile environment on immigration. i'm looking at what's going on here, and i wanted to make a work that reflected that, and i wanted to make a work about britain for the british public. hosting the exhibition by the four nominated artists at eastbourne town gallery has doubled visitor numbers. here's the show�*s curator. what does it mean for eastbourne? i think it's something that on a local level we're feeling incredibly proud of. to be able to host the turner prize is really special, a really special occasion for us. we've been getting thousands of visitors coming through of all different age groups, and they've been feeling the confidence to come into contemporary art space. jesse darling is £25,000 richer, joining the likes of damien hirst, steve mcqueen,

and rachel whiteread at the turner prize winner. he said he'll probably spend the money paying his rent. all the artists reflect the themes of our age. in the end, jesse darling takes the prize, praised by thejudges for his dynamic work. katie razzall, bbc news, eastbourne. jesse darling, the winner of the turner prize. a quick reminder of the developments coming out of israel and gaza. the fighting continues and now focused in the heart of khan yunis in gaza which has been called a hamas stronghold by the israeli defence force is. that is all for now. you can find more on the abc news website. thanks for watching. hello again. temperatures have dropped away quite sharply through the night. and as we start on wednesday morning, there will be a hard and a widespread frost, particularly across northern areas of scotland. on top of that, some fog patches around as well. but there will be some sunny

spells, certainly a quieter spell of weather for many of us throughout wednesday compared to the last few days. that area of low pressure bringing the rain, clearing away to the east. we've got further weather systems waiting out in the atlantic that will become more of a feature of the weather over the next few days. but a cold start to the day for many of us. temperatures potentially down to —10 degrees in northern areas of scotland, and some freezing fog in the east of wales through parts of the midlands and southern areas of england. that could be quite stubborn to clear away, but elsewhere the fog should tend to lift and there'll be some sunshine across many areas before the cloud increases from the west, and with that some outbreaks of rain. but if you're stuck beneath the area of fog, temperatures may only be around about one degree celsius. so feeling particularly cold, but elsewhere we'll see temperatures 4—6 celsius. but in the west, you notice nine, 11 degrees there in plymouth, signs of the less cold air moving in. and as we go through wednesday night, that rain will continue to spread north and eastward. as it bumps into colder air, temporarily, there could be some snow over the higher ground of northern england and across scotland, but that will become increasingly confined to higher ground as we go through thursday because that less cold air, the milder conditions, will spread

in from the southwest, moving to pretty much most areas throughout thursday. a strengthening wind to come with that as well. but it means actually where we'll have a bit of snow for the time of a higher ground of scotland, heavy rain is going to spread through and that's going to bring the risk of some localised flooding, especially in areas where we've seen a bit of flooding over the last couple of days or so, eventually clearing from southern and western areas. temperatures here 10—11 degrees celsius, still perhaps just a little bit chilly beneath the cloud and the rain across eastern areas, 6—7 degrees. now, while that heavy rain does clear away to the northeast, we've got low pressure moving in from the atlantic, strengthening winds around the irish sea coasts and further outbreaks of rain. so certainly rain is going to become more of a feature of the weather over the coming days. there'll be some strong winds at times as well. but we will lose the frosty

the icy conditions with temperatures in double figures. bye— bye.
