the un top aide official says there is no longer any meaningful humanitarian operation in southern gaza. and i am kylie in london. also in the headlines this hour: documents reveal the uk has given rwanda an extra £100 million for an asylum deal. president biden�*s son, hunter, has been indicted on nine tax—related charges, for allegedly taking part in a scheme to avoid paying nearly $1.5 million. as the un climate summit enters its final stages nations are urged to step up, and get thejob done. hello, you will live with bbc news, i am anna foster injerusalem. —— you are live. washington has stepped

up its criticism of the way israel is carrying out its military offensive in gaza. antony blinken said there was a gap between the government's declared intentions to protect civilians and the casualties and what was happening on the ground. it comes as the un's top aid official has said there's no longer any meaningful humanitarian operation in southern gaza. it does appear, however, that the israeli border crossing kerem shalom could soon be opened to improve the flow of aid. currently making its way into gaza. also in the less 2a hours, we have seen new images from inside gaza. these are pictures of palestinians being held by the israel defense forces, many of them kneeling, many of them stripped to their underwear with their hands tied behind their backs. our international editor jeremy bowen has this report and i should warn you, you may find some

of the images in the report distressing. video emerged of palestinian men taken for interrogation. bbc staff recognised the town of beit lahia here in northern gaza, and we've geo—located the video there too. palestinian diplomats said these were savage images, evoking humanity's darkest times. the israeli army said only that suspects were being interrogated. posts on social media said the men had been sheltering with their families at a un school and that others were killed during the israeli raid. in this photo, the men have been moved to another location, which we have not been able to verify. one of the captives, diaa al—kahlout, is a journalist. he was forced to leave his disabled daughter, according to the newspaper he works for in london. earlier, in israel's parliament, a prominent government supporter told me that only israeli forces can control gaza, not the independent palestine the americans want. i think that when we talk about two—state solutions, we are a solution, we are using three words and three lies.

it's not two. it's not a state. it's definitely not a solution. so what's the answer, an everlasting occupation? first, occupation is not the word. you cannot... one cannot occupy its own land. israel is not an occupier in israel because that's the land of israel. so what about gaza? again. that's the land of israel? land of israel, you cannot be occupying it. we're not occupying it from anyone. in gaza, civilians are lost in the rubble of israeli strikes. so far, the world is not close to controlling the powerful, chaotic forces unleashed by this war. the un secretary—general, saying international peace and security is in jeopardy, is demanding an immediate ceasefire. a palestinian leader told me that the us and uk must not veto the next ceasefire resolution. the united states of america and britain now has the key. if they oppose a resolution

about immediate ceasefire, they will not be complicit only with this aggression, they will be a participant in these war crimes. they have to approve the ceasefire immediately because what is at stake is the life of 2.3 million people now. half of them are children. without a political solution, this conflict will go on. when, if, israel declares victory in gaza, the war will not have a neat ending. two opposing forces are at work here. on the one hand, pressure for a ceasefire. on the other, the determination of the americans and the british to give israel the time it needs to achieve its objectives. and one western diplomat i talked to was thinking about perhaps another month. now, the un secretary—general wants to hurry that process up by putting pressure on them and, also, shaming them into taking action sooner.

as gaza's food queues get longer, the un says it cannot run a dependable humanitarian operation. with hungry people jumping warehouse fences, israel says world peace requires gaza's liberation from hamas, and that will take force. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. i mentioned the us secretary of state antony blinken who has visited israel four times since this war began. once again, we have heard him reiterate comments urging israel to really pay attention to its obligations under international humanitarian law. as we stand here almost a week into this campaign in the south after the end of the humanitarian pause, it is imperative, it remains imperative that israel put a premium on civilian protection. and there does remain a gap

between exactly what i said when i was there — the intent to protect civilians and the actual results that we're seeing on the ground. and earlier, i wasjoined by hannah bond from actionaid uk. the situation is absolutely catastrophic. people are lacking in food, in water, in fuel, to cook food, hospitals are lacking in fuel to be able to have operations and to do those really important surgeries. we're hearing from our partner in northern gaza that they are having to operate with shrapnel flying around, and there's a complete lack of medical supplies as well. you know, some of these are getting in, but given the scale of bombardment, it's also really, really hard to get medicines and all of those supplies from one place to another. so the situation is really, really difficult at the moment. i know that a lot of your work as

well is with with women and girls, so often in conflicts like this one who are not combatants, you know, they're not responsible for what's going on, but they they often feel the impact of it the hardest, don't they? yeah, absolutely. so, you know, civilians are not responsible at all for what's going on, but the impact is so huge. so we know of women who have had to have caesareans with no anaesthesia at all, of children who are, of course, not in school because schools aren't open. we have a partner in southern gaza who is providing psychosocial support, who has a hotline that women can call and is providing things like hot meals. but it's really difficult to do that in the circumstances, with so little aid getting in and with the needs being so huge. do you feel that there is still that pressure to try and increase humanitarian aid? because, as we were saying, one of the difficulties with conflicts like this one is after a while, people,

they somehow become insulated. you know, with the images that they're seeing, they stop having the impact. and those are the the difficult moments, really, aren't they? because then the pressure to actually get that humanitarian aid in starts to ease and it doesn't help the civilians who need it. yeah, absolutely, and we know that that happens. but we really have to make sure that those images are in our minds. you know, we have all seen photos of incubators that are about to run out of fuel with babies in them. you know, i have two small kids, i can't imagine what that would feel like as a parent who is watching their child die in front of their eyes. literally, because fuel isn't there and fuel isn't allowed to get in in sufficient quantities to be able to run those really, you know, essential life—saving incubators. so we really must make sure that those images don't leave our minds and that we really put pressure on. and actionaid, that's why we and many others are calling for a ceasefire, because we know that a ceasefire

is the only way at the moment that will allow enough of that aid in, will prevent the scale of the bombardment and violence that we're seeing, will release hostages. and that's why that ceasefire is absolutely needed now, because without it, you know, those images that we're seeing would just continue, and we just can't let that happen. hannah barnes from actionaid uk. we will see that vote in the un security council because the un chief antonio guterres yesterday invoked article 99, a little used article in the un charter only brought into play when there are concerns that international peace and security are being threatened. that vote will happen at the un in new york later. not a binding vote are not the first time a vote like this has been called. but we will watch that for you here on bbc news and bring you anything that comes from that vote in new york a little later. much more to come from here

injerusalem as well through the day. for now, kylie and london has the rest of the day's news. anna, thank you. documents reveal that the united kingdom has given rwanda a further £100 million as part of its deal to relocate asylum seekers to the african nation. £140 million had already paid out. the revelation came hours after rishi sunak vowed to "finish the job" of reviving the plan, after the resignation of his immigration minister. he felt it didn't go far enough. our political correspondent peter saull has more on this. it's not surprising that the costs keep going up for this policy. i suppose rwanda needs to get something in return for taking in some of those migrants who have crossed the english channel, initially heading towards the uk. but it is the scale of the figures really now that are quite embarrassing, frankly,

for the government. they have already spent £114 million. that was the initial outlay when the policy was first announced. then a further 100 million in april this year, and there is also an expectation that another £50 million will be spent in the next financial year, so that takes the total to well over a quarter of a billion pounds for a policy which is still theoretical. the money keeps going up and up and up. as for the flights to rwanda, the opposite is true, apart from flights carrying various home secretaries to sign off on various things with the rwandan authorities. what is the money going on? as i say, this is a two—way deal, an economic partnership with rwanda as well as a migration one, so it is money to help the rwandan economy to grow. it is also to make sure the process can work well in rwanda, the uk courts have raised concerns about that. ministers are also making the point that this is an investment that will ultimately save the british taxpayer money, because it's

all about dissuading people from taking thatjourney across the english channel in the first place. and a lot of money has been spent in housing them in recent years. so that's the argument. the labour party say that this is a total farce, frankly. how many more blank cheques are going to be written for this policy, with so many question marks still hanging over it — political, logistical, legal? rishi sunak, earlier this week, announced legislation which he hopes will get this off the ground. but there are lots of concern in his own party about whether it is workable. the more moderate wing of the tory party are worried about the idea that parliament can unilaterally declare that rwanda is a safe country, in contrast to what the supreme court ruled. on the right of the conservative party, they are saying, actually, there is a danger that this doesn't work because it doesn't go far enough in disapplying international law. the prime minister says this is the only thing that's going to work that

will still keep the rwandans and the courts on side. so this is all pointing towards what will probably be a crunch vote in the house of commons on tuesday. but ministers saying they are potentially open to the idea of changing the legislation down the line. so that might mean they can get it through, just about, on tuesday, but those mps may want to amend it at a later date. peter saull. in the past hour, a judge has ruled that prince harry's libel case against the mail on sunday must go to trial. the duke of sussex had argued at the high court that associated newpapers' defence should be thrown out. he's suing the paper after it claimed he'd tried to keep a legal battle over his security arrangement in the uk a secret. our culture reporter noor nanji gave us this update earlier. and in 2022, in february, there was a story published in the mail on sunday and online, and that story claimed that prince harry tried to keep a legal battle over his security arrangements in the uk

as a secret from the public. now, prince harry is now suing associated newspapers ltd, or anl, over libel for that article. now, his lawyers said that the story was an attack on his honesty and integrity. anl argued that the article expressed an honest opinion and was not defamatory. now, in march of this year, prince harry's lawyers made a bid to strike out the publisher's honest opinion defence, or to grant judgment in harry's favour on it. today, thejudge has given his written ruling over this preliminary issue. mr justice nicklin refused to strike out anl�*s defence. the ruling said the court had concluded that the newspaper group's defence of honest opinion has a real prospect of success and that it should go forward to trial. so in other words, this will now go forward to trial unless it's resolved in some other way in 2024. and this is one of a number of claims, isn't it, that has been taking place in the courts? that's right. i mean, there's also a separate

legal battle going on around harry's security arrangements in the uk. now, of course, prince harry had his security protection when visiting the uk downgraded in 2020, when he stepped back from being a working royal. now, he's currently locked in a separate legal battle over that. he claims that the decision by the home office to downgrade his personal protection was unlawful and unfair. and he has argued the lower level of security has meant that it's difficult for his family to visit the uk. the home office says that his security is decided on a case—by—case basis. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a 16—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after a woman was shot in hackney in east london on tuesday. 42—year—old lianne gordon died at the scene. a 20—year—old man and 16—year—old boy were also injured. police say a teenager was arrested in the early hours of friday. officers are continuing to appeal for information.

hundreds of oxfam staff in the uk will go on strike today for the first time in the charity's 81—year history. last—ditch talks on wednesday between oxfam and the unite union failed to produce an agreement to avoid industrial action. about 200 shops will be affected. millions of mobile phone users could be in line for damages, if a new legal claim against the uk's four biggest networks is successful. the competition appeal tribunal will hear claims that vodafone, ee, three and 02 overcharged customers for mobiles beyond the end of their contract. the funeral of the singer—songwriter shane macgowan is taking place in ireland today. the musician, who was best known for fronting the pogues, died last week at the age of 65.

a procession is currently making its way through the streets of dublin, ahead of a church service in nenagh, in county tipperary. viewers in the uk can watch a live stream of today's events on the bbc news website and on iplayer. let's dip into that now. hello and welcome to viewers across the united kingdom joining us now for live coverage of the funeral procession in central dublin for the pogues singer and front man shane macgowan who died last week. you can see the horse—drawn carriage with shane macgowan�*s coffin. joining us from dublin is our correspondent sarah govinda. lots of people on the streets for this event in dublin today. streets for this event in dublin toda . , ., ., , today. yes, there are. in the last 20 minutes. _ today. yes, there are. in the last 20 minutes, the _ today. yes, there are. in the last 20 minutes, the crowds - today. yes, there are. in the last 20 minutes, the crowds have - today. yes, there are. in the last i 20 minutes, the crowds have really swelled. they will be watching the procession through the streets of the south of dublin, a part of the city where shane macgowan lived and he passed away at home a week ago.

you will be able to hear the music behind me, a group of musicians have been playing for the last half hour. it is a very emotional day, but people are celebrating his music and his life as well. we have been speaking to some people. you would have heard chris page in tipperary talking about it is sinead o'connor�*s birthday today on the day of shane macgowan�*s funeral. we were speaking to a woman who travelled from brae outside dublin where sinead o'connor�*s funeral procession took place. she said it was right she felt she pay her respects to shane macgowan today, she said ireland has lost two greats today. another woman said she didn't realise how much shane macgowan meant to her until she had heard he passed away and she was very, very emotional when she was talking about his music, his lyrics. she described it as poetry. and her husband who was with her talked about the fact he could sum up so well that feeling of irish people living across the

world. we know that shane mcgowan was born in england, he spent his early years between england and ireland and that feeling of being between the two places and being part of the irish diaspora was something that led to a lot of people becoming fans of his. more applause now is another piece of music finishes. we will not —— we're not sure what they will play, but we are expecting it in the next few minutes. . ~ are expecting it in the next few minutes. ., ~ , ., , . ., minutes. thank you very much for the moment. i minutes. thank you very much for the moment i want _ minutes. thank you very much for the moment. i want to _ minutes. thank you very much for the moment. i want to talk— minutes. thank you very much for the moment. i want to talk about - minutes. thank you very much for the moment. i want to talk about shane l moment. i want to talk about shane macgowan�*s music and talk to another legend in ireland, the legendary broadcaster dave fanning joins us. thank you very much forjoining us. for viewers who don't know, what dave doesn't know about irish music isn't worth knowing. so i want to talk first of all about shane and his music. the pogues, i heard one tribute saying they did irish song, but they did it with dirt under

theirfingernails. he managed to combine traditional irish music with punk, didn't he? combine traditional irish music with punk. didn't he?— combine traditional irish music with punk, didn't he? that's exactly what he did. it punk, didn't he? that's exactly what he did- it had _ punk, didn't he? that's exactly what he did. it had been _ punk, didn't he? that's exactly what he did. it had been done _ punk, didn't he? that's exactly what he did. it had been done ten - punk, didn't he? that's exactly what he did. it had been done ten years l he did. it had been done ten years before that, much to the chagrin of all the kind of purist if you like, that was by chemical slips who were huge over here and they took traditional irish music and made it rock and glam rock —— horse lips. in the 1980s, the pogues took traditional irish music and made it punk and that annoyed a lot of people. at first, they were seen as a joke. people. at first, they were seen as ajoke. red roses, people. at first, they were seen as a joke. red roses, the first album, was great to me, but people were like, what is that, you can't do that with irish music? we had a debate in the rte studios and we had the pogues here, i don't know who came up with the idea, it was brilliant, the pogues left, what is wrong with these people? and people realised just how good the songs of shane macgowan work. and just how important it is to mix and meld

different genres of music. you have to do it. and when they did it, the results were fantastic, but those two albums. after that, they quickly fell apart. two albums. after that, they quickly fellapart. in two albums. after that, they quickly fell apart. in the 1980s, the real alternative band was the smiths and the pogues were 1984 to 1988. by 1989, they were going to a tour in america and shane's addictions as we mentioned, they really were taking a huge toll, they missed ten days because he got sick at heathrow airport. they eventually kicked him out of the band by 89 and shane said, it took you long enough! since then, he has had some musical band called the hopes and bits and pieces with the pogues, but he shone brightest with those two albums —— the popes. produced by steve lillywhite who brought kirsty mccoll his own wife into play on fairy tale in york. grace of god as well. those two albums with a two —— fairytale

of new york. by the 1990s, the last 30 years, shane's addictions to take over, they really did. there wasn't much coming in terms of creativity. dave, stay with us. if you are watching in the united kingdom, you will leave us. but a reminder you can continue to watch this coverage from dublin on the bbc iplayer. you watching bbc news. and you can watch live streaming of the event on the bbc news website and also on the iplayer. now, let's turn our attention to the cop28 climate summit in dubai. the cop president has urged nations to step up and get the job done. sultan aljaber pressed countries to come together to reach a potentially historic deal. the summit is in its last few days, and many parties at the conference have shared their concerns over an agreement for nations to drastically cut their fossil fuel use. it comes as scientists say that 2023 is certain to be the warmest year to date —

mainly because of record carbon dioxide emissions and the rising impact of the el nino weather phenomenon. in the last hour, the president of this year's cop, sultan al jaber. this is the challenge that parties must rise to, against the clock. in fact, it is fast—moving. i will spend every moment focused on enabling, facilitating, and supporting the most ambitious outcome, and i am very optimistic that the new spirit we have generated here is helping make this cop a transformation cop. a cop that has the potential of changing the game. live now to dubai, where we can speak to dr emma lawrance. she's from the institute

of global health innovation at imperial college london, where she researches the impact of climate change on mental health. thank you forjoining us. can you start by explaining to me how climate change can impact mental health? , . ~ climate change can impact mental health? , ., ~ ., climate change can impact mental health? , ., ., ., ~ climate change can impact mental health? , ., ., ., health? yes, thank you and thank you so much for— health? yes, thank you and thank you so much for this _ health? yes, thank you and thank you so much for this opportunity - health? yes, thank you and thank you so much for this opportunity to - health? yes, thank you and thank you so much for this opportunity to talk i so much for this opportunity to talk about it. we've heard so many stories at cop and at our work at the climate care centre and with over 500 people in over 80 countries through a welcome funded connected climate mines project. and what we hear again and climate mines project. and what we hearagain and again climate mines project. and what we hear again and again echoed around the world is the compounding traumas of climate —related disasters, heatwaves and the consequences of that on communities through lack of access to food, water, being forced from their homes, sexual violence, sadly, and all of these compounded stresses and down not being able to heal from one before stresses and down not being able to healfrom one before the stresses and down not being able to heal from one before the next disaster hits, that those compounding stresses and traumas are leading to sadly more cases of

depression, anxiety, substance abuse, death by suicide for communities, in communities around the world. and we know it is youth day here at cup and young people optically affected. it is not only these experiences happening, but knowing what is to come and there is a betrayalfrom people in power who are meant to be protecting the interests of young people and have people who are suffering the most and have contributed the least of the crisis around the world. but on the crisis around the world. but on the flip side, there are many benefits for climate action for creating a world that is better for our mental health and well—being through cleaner air and stronger communities. so the links are really bidirectional.— bidirectional. doctor emma, very briefl , bidirectional. doctor emma, very briefly. i'm _ bidirectional. doctor emma, very briefly, i'm guessing _ bidirectional. doctor emma, very briefly, i'm guessing that - bidirectional. doctor emma, very briefly, i'm guessing that you - bidirectional. doctor emma, very i briefly, i'm guessing that you want something to change through this cop28 summit. something to change through this com summit.— something to change through this cop28 summit. , , . ., cop28 summit. yes, exactly. what we are callin: cop28 summit. yes, exactly. what we are calling for. — cop28 summit. yes, exactly. what we are calling for, many, _ cop28 summit. yes, exactly. what we are calling for, many, many _ cop28 summit. yes, exactly. what we are calling for, many, many people - are calling for, many, many people here from the health community, is to really centre physical and mental health at the home of dish at the

throughout the day. it's to the north—east where we have the strongest of the winds. orkney and sheltand, gusts of 50 miles an hour, an added wind chill here. but for many, temperatures above where they should be for this stage in december. into tonight, still some showers to begin with. any clear skies and any drop in the wind will lead to some mist and fog patches, but that batch of cloud i showed you on the satellite imagery, here it comes, with tomorrow's wet weather arriving in the south into wales and later northern ireland into the start of the day. the weekend brings more rain, but there's sunny moments in—between. it won't be a complete washout. but the winds will become a feature as we go through saturday. quite a blustery day across parts of ireland, england and wales. the rain will push northwards. bright conditions here through the afternoon, but the rain setting in. again, north—west scotland will get away largely dry. in the sunshine in the south, though, very mild for december.

14 degrees, potentially, in the south east. as that rain starts to slide its way southwards and eastwards again into the evening, this is when we'll see the strongest of the winds. but any time from mid—afternoon onwards, we could see gales widely through england, wales and ireland. but in this zone, we could see potentially damaging gusts even higher than 65 miles an hour. it's worth keeping an eye on the forecast. itjust depends on where the low pressure tracks. it's on the southern edge, we will see stronger winds. for many on sunday, early—risers get the best of the driest and clearest weather. some mist and fog patches, but then some heavy showers push their way northwards and eastwards. even some longer spells of rain, the odd rumble of thunder mixed in, before turning brighter later. and again, another mild day. take care.

we are bringing you live coverage from the funeral procession of shane mcgowan from dublin. we are joined now by two music experts. let's take a listen because i think there is

some music going on at the cortege, let's take a listen to what the band is playing. cheering and applause lots of applause there as the funeral procession makes its way through the centre of dublin. mark, you were talking about his music and also the way that he did have that troubled life and brought that to his music. do you think he's going to be one of these musicians, and

maybe sinead o'connor
